Hot take: Harry Potter isn't as blatant as future isekai, like it straddles the line between "isekai" and more general "Chosen One narratives" But it's the world's most popular isekai https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1272191907414913024 …

Just like Fry from Futurama is a parody of Buck Rogers, who legitimately is the original science fiction isekai hero (frozen dude from the present day wakes up in the future and saves the world) For most of the story the point is Fry isn't good at anything and isn't special

Although I do think that the "advantages" that the main character brings to the new setting only need to be focused on for a few episodes; an isekai plot can just be an excuse to get the ball rolling. Eventually Fry is basically just a normal dude; his backstory doesn't matter.
