Line #17 PlayingWith/MundaneMadeAwesome


1	'''Basic Trope''': A mundane action is played to look more epic than normal.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob is running to get on an elevator, but the doors are closing, so he makes a slow-motion dive for it from some distance away, complete with a BigNo.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Every time Bob takes a step, breathes and blinks in the scene, it goes super slow-motion and put in several dramatic camera angles, complete with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic orchestral music]] and OminousLatinChanting playing.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob is running to get to an elevator, but it's clear the trip there was a lot more than just walking to the elevator.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** LargeHam
7	** Bob is running to get on the elevator so he can escape before the building explodes. He is still just trying to get onto an elevator, though.
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** Bob is fighting off [[BigBad Mr. Evulz]], but the scene treats it as mundane as opening a door.
10	** UnusuallyUninterestingSight
11	** MundaneHorror
12	* '''Subverted''': It looks like Bob's about to dive for the elevator... but instead he turns and starts going up the stairs instead.
13	* '''Double Subverted''':...which he climbs two steps at a time while SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic plays.
14	* '''Parodied''':
15	** Bob makes a leaping, slow-motion dive for the doors, along with awesome music, a BigNo, and everybody around him gasping in shock at how awesome it is. When Bob gets inside at the last second, he does a heroic pose and everybody applauds.
16	** Everything Bob does is treated like this. For example, a scene of Bob eating cereal for breakfast has Bob sharply dipping his spoon on the bowl, a close-up shot of his mouth chewing the cereal, with a lot of dramatic camera angles, complete with OminousLatinChanting in the background.
17	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob treats some mundane actions dramatically, but does others normally, while he treats some momentous actions with due respect but [[ButForMeItWasTuesday shrugs off]] others.
18	* '''Averted''': Bob enters the elevator casually with elevator music.
19	* '''Enforced''': "We need to make this scene longer, so let's make it seem more awesome than it really is!"
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "We could've gone without the leap and giant 'NOOOOO!', Bob."
21	* '''Invoked''': Bob's life is very mundane, so he decides to spice up his life with awesomeness.
22	* '''Exploited''': For ObfuscatingInsanity, Bob always invokes a {{Narm}}-filled version of this. So, of course, Mr. Evulz sees nothing unusual on the spycams when Bob actually saves the world.
23	* '''Defied''': Bob starts to dive, but his friend Alice grabs him and tells him to just use the next elevator, which is currently open.
24	* '''Discussed''': "Yeah, sometimes I want to mop the floor wearing a BadassLongcoat and playing OminousLatinChanting..."
25	* '''Conversed''': "This movie has mundane moments spiced up with epic. Perhaps the creator ran out of ideas?"
26	* '''Deconstructed''': These kinds of scenes basically reek of {{Narm}}. In-universe, since Bob keeps doing these, he's seen as childish, and is laughed at.
27	* '''Reconstructed''': ...[[IntendedAudienceReaction which was the intention]] [[{{Bathos}} of the creator or Bob]].
28	* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob does this as a RunningGag.
29	* '''Played for Drama''': Bob loses friends and allies and/or falls behind on what he's supposed to do because he [[SkewedPriorities creates drama where he didn't need to create drama]].
