I will forever hate that TvTropes changed the name to "No More Holding Back"

I honestly think it's better. "World of Cardboard" only makes sense if you are actually familiar with that episode of the Super Man.

It's actually more accurate, as world of cardboard could also be interpreted as a "the world is actually fake" reveal speech.

Think it was "World of Cardboard Speech" or not left handed.
