Card Trivia:Satirical Theatre


 * Like all other "Destiny HERO" cards, this card references a piece of British culture, more specifically Black Mirror, a dark science fiction anthology. Black Mirror is a satirical series that explores modern human relations and technology with a critical eye, and the implications of said technology in near-dystopian futures that may very well be close to our own.
 * The first effect to restrict the Summoning of "HERO" monsters, except "Destiny HEROes", relates to the plots of Black Mirror. In them, the protagonists are often flawed anti-heroes, or in a few cases, just straight-up despicable people, and there is rarely a happy ending in the entire series. There would be no room for the comic book-like "HEROes" from other "HERO" archetypes in this dystopian world, so they are not allowed to appear in the "Satirical Theatre", whereas the anti-heroes represented by even the canonical "Destiny HEROes" would fit right in.
 * The second effect to banish 1 copy of a "Destiny HERO" and add another to the hand references the duplicitous nature of these flawed protagonists in Black Mirror. There are two very different sides to each character; the show withholds information about their true selves and motives, until the climax of the episode, where it reveals the twist to these characters in a shocking fashion. The world of Black Mirror, and all of the people in it, are not what they seem to be.
