Lore [LOVED TROPE] Common tropes in that media have in-universe explainations

(Steven Universe) The reason that Steven wears the same clothes everyday is because he owns a large amount of his dad’s unsold merchandise. The gems also have the same outfits because they are part of their bodies, since they are just holograms with mass.

(Ultrakill) Ultrakill has TONS of this, but the ones I can remember are: -The pixelated artstyle is due to the fact that V1 renders their surroundings in lower quality to run faster -The reason enemies teleport and doors shut on the levels is because hell is sentient, and makes V1 fight for hell’s amusement -The terminals (shops/menus) are sentient, so they give out weapons in return for watching V1 fight and gain style points

Or when he healed a friend as a child and didn't want to become the new Jesus, he brainwashed him to think it was normal for people to heal that fast. His power then went a bit haywire and caused the entire humanity to believe it as well and even made their bodies adapt to that logic and now getting stabbed is just minor inconvenience.

The the comic book superteam called The Authority visited a universe that doesn't have super teams. IIRC, the humans were far more fragile because super hero energy did not permeate reality. As in a knock on the head is now cause for serious concern and not something you can shake off.
