1 | '''Basic Trope''': Characters run and jump across falling debris. |
2 | * '''Straight''': When Emperor Evulz tries to kill Alice with RocksFallEveryoneDies, he's shocked to see her racing towards him across the same falling rocks he just dropped on her. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Emperor Evulz detonates a number of buildings, in a desperate attempt to kill Alice. As he looks at the carnage, he's shocked to see Alice leap from building to building. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': As a column cracks and starts to topple, Alice grabs her chance and scrambles to the top of it before it hits the ground. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** Alice has SuperSpeed. |
7 | ** Alice, Evulz, and a load of debris have been thrown from a plane and are [[VariableTerminalVelocity plummeting through the atmosphere in freefall]]. Weightless, Alice kicks away from one large piece of wreckage to another, working her way closer to her enemy. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': Alice has been blown into the air by an explosion, and runs back through the shrapnel to get back down to earth. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': Alice runs up the debris [[GravityIsAHarshMistress until she realises how impossible that is, at which point she starts falling.]] |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': But then she [[ForgotICouldFly remembers]] that she is a GravityMaster. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': Alice and Bob [[TalkingIsAFreeAction stop running to have a brief conversation]] about [[LampshadeHanging how impossible it is that they're doing what they're doing]], before deciding to [[MST3KMantra just not worry about it too much]]. |
12 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
13 | * '''Averted''': Alice hides from the falling rocks, and climbs up the heap of rubble once it's settled. |
14 | * '''Enforced''': ??? |
15 | * '''Lampshaded''': "How are you ''doing'' that?" |
16 | * '''Invoked''': Alice can't see a way to climb out of a cave... so she blows up the ceiling and scrambles up the falling rocks. |
17 | * '''Exploited''': Evulz is a close range combatant much like Alice, and causes the rockfall so that she would get herself [[InstantDeathRadius in striking distance.]] |
18 | * '''Defied''': "Quick! We can run up the stones as they fall!" "You... you never did very well in physics class, did you Bob?" |
19 | * '''Discussed''': ??? |
20 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
21 | * '''Deconstructed''': Humans are not capable of doing this. Alice falls and dies. |
22 | * '''Reconstructed''': Alice has elemental earth powers that force the rocks to stay up long enough for her to get on them. |
