7 | A frequent stylistic {{Title Trope|s}} which essentially delivers the premise of the story before it even starts rolling, and therefore often is synonymous with a show's HighConcept. |
8 | |
9 | The ''character'' in question must be a ''person'', in one sense or another. Whether he, she or it is featured in the story, or is just related to it in one way or another - be it only metaphorically (like, say, the Devil) - isn't important. Objects only count if they are anthropomorphised properly in-story. |
10 | |
11 | The ''action'' taken, on the other hand, can be ''anything'' under the sun. What counts is that it ''is'' an action thats being described ("Bob Eats Bread" or "Bob Eats"), rather than, say, merely (and explicitly - see below) [[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/statal describing a state or condition]] ("Bob ''Is'' A Breadophile" or "Bob ''Has'' A Bread-Fancy") or describing the character in a [[TheNounWhoVerbed relative clause]] ("The Bob ''Who'' Ate Bread"). |
12 | Tense, aspect, mood and voice all make no difference for the purposes of this trope, so it can just as easily be "Bob ''Ate'' Bread" "Bob ''Will'' Eat Bread", "Bob ''Is Eating'' Bread", "Bob ''Would'' Eat Bread" or even "Bob ''Was'' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Eaten]]". The idea is that the title is a complete sentence (subject + verb) is more or less a given. |
13 | The 'action' can even be an idiom or metaphor for something completely different, even a state or condition ("Bob [[EasyEvangelism Eats The Bread That Is Jesus]]" or "Bob [[NeverSayDie Has Eaten His Last Slice of Bread]]"). |
14 | |
15 | This includes explicit actions such as "to do," "to meet someone," or "to go somewhere," and it also includes [[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intransitive intransitive verbs]] such as "to return," "to begin," or "to die." |
16 | |
17 | This otherwise very simplistic naming convention tends to follow some particular trends: |
18 | * It's used in children's programmes (to spark the young audience's interest in the upcoming subject matter without making things too complicated). |
19 | * It's used in titles meant to reproduce the brevity of news messages and headlines, often (ironically) about otherwise important and momentous events. |
20 | * For {{Crossover}}s, the title formula "Character from Franchise A does something to Character from Franchise B" can be used, "Meets" being the most common variant. |
21 | * Particularly variations like "Returns", "Rides Again" and "Strikes Back" are popular with sequel movies, as they bring across the message and deliver a little emotional velocity and creativity into the title at the same time. The "Strikes Back" title in particular also heavily overlaps with RevengeOfTheSequel. |
22 | * It's used in humorous works, where any of the above is PlayedForLaughs. Examples of the "Goes To X" variation, for one, often [[StockParody riff]] on ''Film/MrSmithGoesToWashington''. |
23 | |
24 | The most frequent variations involve the character doing something new and/or exciting, such as going to a place or being thrown into an unlikely situation. |
25 | |
26 | EventTitle SubTrope. Very often part of IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming within series. |
27 | |
28 | Compare RoleCalled, JobTitle, AdjectiveNounFred, InWhichATropeIsDescribed, TheNounWhoVerbed and TheJoyOfX. Also compare VersusTitle, which is also common for {{Crossover}}s but lacks the action verb. Not to be confused with JustForFun/XMeetsY, which is a JustForFun page for describing works as combinations of other works. |
