1 | '''Basic Trope''': One character grabs another through a wall and pulls them through. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob is being stalked by Alice, and hides in a shed. Suddenly, Alice tears her arms through it and pulls Bob to her. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** She does this though several feet of concrete and a bank-vault door. |
5 | ** Every victim in the movie is pulled through something, to the monster. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice pulls Bob through a wall of plywood. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** The walls are made of paper, and thus problems like finding Bob behind the wall and busting through it in the first place is a non-issue. |
9 | ** Among Alice's [[FlyingBrick generic super-powers]] are super strength and x-ray vision: This was just a natural combination of the two. |
10 | * '''Inverted''': [[ThereWasADoor Bob busts through a wall in order to escape Alice.]] |
11 | * '''Subverted''': |
12 | ** Alice tries to bust through the shed to get at Bob, but cannot manage it, and mere thuds against it. |
13 | ** Alice can burst through the wall, but Bob isn’t close enough for her to reach |
14 | * '''Double Subverted''': …Some minutes later, she instead busts [[AnkleDrag her hand through the FLOOR.]] |
15 | * '''Parodied''': |
16 | ** Alice uses this method to get a drink from the fridge. |
17 | ** Alice picks up a wall, puts it between Bob and herself, and busts through that instead. Bob is somehow still surprised by it. |
18 | ** Bob bust his hands through the wall to get at Alice, and ends up [[ThanksForTheMammary grabbing Alice’s Assets instead.]] He then sheepishly apologizes and lets her go. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Alice tries to get the drop on Bob by shoving her hand through the wall to grab him, but fails to actually grab him. Bob reverses the situation by pulling a BarrierBustingBlow of his own, before both of them are grabbed by a third party. |
20 | * '''Averted''': No-one busts through the walls in-series, for whatever reason. |
21 | * '''Enforced''': It’s an EstablishingCharacterMoment: the author put it in to demonstrate that Alice is a) super strong, b) very perceptive, and c) NOT TO BE SCREWED WITH. |
22 | * '''Lampshaded''': “YouWillNotEvadeMe!” |
23 | * '''Invoked''': Alice does this in order to give Bob a fright for Halloween. |
24 | * '''Exploited''': Bob expects this to happen and had placed a dummy, filled with explosives in his place. Alice grabs this instead, and ends up exploding. |
25 | * '''Defied''': Alice considers this, then shakes her head and instead climbs atop the shed, in order to wait until Bob gains a false sense of security and walks out... |
26 | * '''Discussed''': "That murder doesn’t seem humanly possible." "Because it’s so brutal?" "Because the murderer had to plunge their arms through sheet metal." |
27 | * '''Conversed''': "Movie serial killers just seem to have something against perfectly good doors." |
28 | * '''Implied''': We see a body, a massive hole in the wall, and bloodstains where the two met… |
29 | * '''Deconstructed''': Alice is strong enough to break through the wall, but Bob… isn’t. [[FoldSpindleMutilation Her attempt at pulling a Bob-sized object through an arm-sized hole results in a spectacularly gory display.]] |
30 | * '''Played For Laughs''': |
31 | ** “[[AndCallHimGeorge STOP RUNNING BOB! I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG!”]] |
32 | ** Alice busts her hand through the wall, feels around for a bit until it gets to Bob, and then pulls him through. |
