Well, 'Outlander' can also be considered in a way. Claire, the main character, travels back in time and she is a woman out of time in that historical context. In a sense, it shows the challenges and experiences of being in a time not one's own, which is a key aspect of 'Man out of Time' fiction. It's about the clash of values, knowledge, and social norms between different eras.
One example is 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. The main character travels to different time periods and is very much a man out of his own time when he does so. Another is 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' where the modern man is suddenly thrust into the past and has to navigate a world that is completely different from his own era.
In some weir - related fictions, 'out of time' can be a metaphor for a character's disconnection from society or their own life. For example, a character who has lost their way in life might feel 'out of time' when they visit a weir that has some sort of historical or cultural significance. The weir could represent a link to the past that makes the character question their present state.
One example is Captain America. He was frozen in ice for decades and woke up in a very different world. He was a man with the values of his own time but had to adapt to a new era filled with different technologies and social norms.
Another one is 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway. The old fisherman Santiago is a common man. His battle with the marlin and the sea shows his determination and endurance in the face of difficulties, which are qualities that many common people can identify with.
One popular example is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. It shows a post - apocalyptic world where a father and son struggle to survive. Another is 'Mad Max: Fury Road' which has a desolate, end - of - time setting with intense action. Also, 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is set in a future after a nuclear holocaust and explores themes related to the end of time and the survival of knowledge.
A great example of a time loop in fiction is the movie 'Happy Death Day'. The main character Tree Gelbman is stuck reliving her birthday, which also happens to be the day she gets murdered. Each time she relives the day, she tries to figure out who the killer is and how to break the loop. This kind of time loop creates a lot of suspense and gives the character a chance to grow and change as she tries different things in each loop.
Well, 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry can be considered in this category to some extent. It has elements of a different kind of time - related exploration. Also, '11/22/63' by Stephen King, though more for an older YA audience perhaps, is a great example. It deals with the idea of going back in time to change a significant historical event, and has a lot of the elements that make 'time travel ya fiction' interesting like mystery and the consequences of meddling with time.
Another example is 'Doctor Who'. The Doctor travels through time and space in his TARDIS. It's full of 'fake' time travel elements as it combines science - fiction concepts with adventure and fantasy. The show has been around for a long time and has explored countless time - related scenarios, from meeting historical figures to preventing the end of the universe.
There are many examples. For instance, in some 'Harry Potter' time out of place fanfics, the Hogwarts students are sent to the time of the Salem witch trials. They have to deal with the different understanding and persecution of magic in that era. Also, characters from a superhero comic could be put into the Stone Age. Their superpowers would be a huge advantage, but they would also have to deal with the primitive living conditions and the different mindset of the people back then.
It could be about a guy who finds himself in a time that's not his own and has to navigate the challenges that come with it.
One great example could be a fan fiction where MJ discovers Spider - Man's true identity early on and they have to deal with the consequences together. This adds a new layer of drama and relationship development.
