Trope Talk: All A Dream

But does it deserve 100% of the vitriol? Maybe a conservative 80%. Anyway, let's discuss!

I recall the episode of Young Justice where it was all just a telepathic training exercise, and afterwards we see one of the few cases I can think of, maybe the only one, of super-heroes getting councelling for trauma.

I hope this segues into the Unreliable Narrator trope talk.

you know... there ARE times when I actually like this trope. Rarely... but it does happen I have to admit...

[*waits for references to "Over The Edge" and "For The Man Who Has Everything"*] [*is not disappointed*] Gotta love versions of "All A Dream" that result in character development (e.g. Babs deciding to tell her dad about her "night job").

I loved this video! I usually hate the “all a dream” things in most works. It feels cheap the vast majority of the time. The one time I absolutely loved it (and don’t shoot me for this) was in Breaking Dawn pt 2. I thought it was a brilliant stroke of the writers to satisfy the fan’s bloodlust for a truly epic finally fight while still being able to blink the story back to the source material ending. It was a great way to satisfy both sides because lots folks who read the book were pretty let down but such an anticlimactic ending. So for me, using the “all a dream” trope here really worked. But I honestly can’t think of another story where “all a dream” worked and was enjoyable for me.
