Line #26 PlayingWith/PromotionToOpeningTitles


1	'''Basic Trope''': A RecurringCharacter achieves a high enough level of screen time and plot relevance to get added to the show's TitleSequence.
2	* '''Straight''': SixthRanger Felicia is added to the ''Heroes of Troperia'' 's TitleSequence after she becomes a regular member of what has become the [[FiveManBand Six Man Band]]. [[spoiler: Also, Bob and co. can't risk losing her, because [[WeaksauceWeakness her power is essential]] to defeat [[EvilOverlord Emperor Evulz]].]]
3	* '''Exaggerated''': [[PsychoRangers Grendel's Warband]] is added to the ''Heroes of Troperia'' 's TitleSequence after they undergo HeelFaceTurn en masse, ''doubling'' the length of the TitleSequence.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Felicia is added to the TitleSequence, but [[IWasJustPassingThrough they were overhauling it anyway]] and she doesn't appear for as long as the original main characters do.
5	* '''Justified''': Felicia has become that important to Bob and co.'s struggle.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** Felicia is [[DemotedToExtra removed]] from the TitleSequence after she's no longer important to the story.
8	** Felicia is an AdvertisedExtra who is inexplicably removed from the title sequence once she starts actually getting things to do.
9	* '''Subverted''': There is only one episode where Felicia is in the TitleSequence, where she is the BigDamnHeroes.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': Except that she steadily becomes more important story-wise after that episode, and she gets added permanently to the TitleSequence a few episodes later.
11	* '''Parodied''': Felicia is a recurring background extra. In one episode, she's given a single, unimportant line. This episode adds her to the TitleSequence with prominence equal to the main characters.
12	* '''Zig Zagged''': She's billed on a per episode basis.
13	* '''Averted''': The TitleSequence stays the same throughout the show's run.
14	* '''Enforced''':
15	** The audience demanded that Felicia be added to the TitleSequence.
16	** After Charles, [[TheLancer Lance's]] actor, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim passed away]], they needed someone to fill spot #5 of the IntroductoryOpeningCredits to avoid an [[NoBudget unaffordable overhaul of the]] TitleSequence.
17	* '''Lampshaded''': "Welcome to the board, Fe! Enjoy the spotlight!"
18	* '''Invoked''': See AndStarring.
19	* '''Exploited''': The reality show ''Trope Me Harder'' changes its TitleSequence based on viewers' vote on who is the most interesting character in the previous episode. Since this is obviously the inverse of ViciousCycle as far as popularity is concerned, Felicia lies, cheats, and backstabs her way into getting added into the TitleSequence. ''[[YouBastard It works]]''.
20	* '''Defied''':
21	** Despite the audience's demand for Felicia to be added to the TitleSequence, [[DemotedToExtra she is never added]].
22	** The audience demands for [[TheScrappy Felicia]] to be removed from the TitleSequence. They even sent death threats to the author!
23	* '''Discussed''': "So, do they pay you more now that you're a regular member of the team?"
24	* '''Conversed''': "Took them long enough to add her."
25	* '''Deconstructed''': After she is added to the TitleSequence, the writers start trying to make her conventionally heroic and she loses that certain charm she had, and [[BadassDecay She starts to suffer Badass Decay]] as a result of the writers trying to appease the moral guardians.
26	* '''Reconstructed''': The author makes up for it by making sure that the things people liked about Felicia stays relevant to the show.
27	* '''Played For Laughs''': On ADayInTheLimelight episode revolving around Felicia, they completely restructure the title sequence around her.
28	* '''Played For Drama''':
29	** It's obvious that fan-favorite RecurringCharacter Felicia is [[YourDaysAreNumbered fated to die soon]]. The author knows people love her and would hate to lose her, so she was permanently added to the TitleSequence... ''[[DeadStarWalking starting from the episode where she dies]]''.
30	** [[MeaningfulFuneral The episode is In Memory Of…]]
