Hmm, yes. I think there are similar kinds of issues in a lot of bodyswap stories, including mainstream movies that include body taker-overs (like Wonder Woman 1984) - so many of them are full of horrendous ethical issues if you look at them and consider the wider ramifications, which the works themselves mostly ignore.

[meadowphoenix]

Quantum Leap never managed to figure this out, tbh.

[philstar22]

100% agreed. My big issue with Wonder Woman 2 and Source Code (the latter is miles worse given the ending of course).

[greghousesgf]

they did that on a Star Trek ep and seemed to think it was OK but it bugged the hell out of me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the case of isekai stuff like that, isn't it usually the protagonist becoming a fictional character from a novel or something? So it's not really the same thing if they're being transported into a book and then becoming a character in a book. It's not like they're swapping with an actual living person or something.

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmm, I only know two isekai stories very well, but in one of them the main character replaces someone who was evil enough they weren't very mourned, and in the other one they become a small child. There's certainly still ethical issues there, but "my small child suddenly changed personality and they're not my kid anymore!" is its own long-standing metaphor. Also in both of them the MC is kind of explicitly not a great person and the fact that they're hurting the loved ones of the person they replaced is addressed (Just not as a central issue because, see above, not a great person.)

(Oh, well, and the one where they become a vending machine.)(and the one where they become a slime.)

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe it's just me and everyone who writes and likes these things, but I don't think it's necessary to consider ethics of things that are impossible outside of make-believe, like bodyswapping. It's not that it can't be interesting to explore it; it can be, but I think the inherent fictitiousness also makes it ok to use as a device without a "realistic" dive into ethics being a writer's obligation.

I liked Ascendance of a Bookworm and how Lutz finds out. The most satisfying one was My Next Life as Villainess with how Katarina and Sophia come to grips with her life in the other world.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh hey, I'm reading a BL webtoon right now that features this and the body of the person the main character ends up taking over belonged to a complete and utter asshole of a sex-crazed, washed out actor and druggie with an equally shitty family and the new guy is just like 'welp, fixing all of this shit'

it's going pretty well, actually

Real talk, if Elden Ring had legit waifu elements I would have given Fia the Dark Moon Ring instead of Ranni. I think a lot of players would have.

And if you could give the ring to anybody, not just alternate ending NPCs, I would have given it to Merchant Kalé. Homeboy was good to me beginning to end.

I hadn't thought about this show in years! And now I remember it's when I first had a crush on Robert Downey Jr.

Yeah, they do. But so does the rest of the character design.

omg op this is exactly how I feel too!! I think the original status quo could have been explored more, instead of turning the show into something a bit different.

I think the second is a little more thematic, which I tend to prefer (this is going to sound wild, but I think there's too much plot in the first), but I genuinely love them both

This is considered bad? Because I am with you, OP, I thought it knocked it out of the park. The bit with Winchester's dream in particular, him feeling helpless despite all his tricks, was just heartbreaking, and Hawkeye's dream was pure undiluted, triple distilled, nightmare fuel.

And Potter's, that got you right in the feels. I know I'd give anything to have a bowl of my own grandma's home cooking just once more.
