| 1 | This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | There could be several reasons you think an example is the best: |
| 4 | * You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope. |
| 5 | * You think it's the most well done. |
| 6 | * It's your favorite play in that trope. |
| 7 | * You just really like the source material. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Oh, several things before you list examples: |
| 10 | * Each troper gets one example per trope, no more. |
| 11 | * Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites. |
| 12 | * '''Sign your entries.''' |

| 14 | !!Please list tropes alphabetically. |
| 15 | * AbandonedMascot |
| 16 | ** VideoGame/AlexKidd, who used to be Creator/{{Sega}}'s mascot before being replaced by Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 17 | * AbhorrentAdmirer |
| 18 | ** [[Franchise/AceAttorney Wendy Oldbag]]. "Edgey-pooo!" ~vicnog, @/EvaUnit01, @/{{Leilukin}} |
| 19 | *** Seconded ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 20 | ** [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Leena Hyena]], herself based on the stereotypical Abhorrent Admirers from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, also the former TropeNamer. ~@/{{Surenity}} |
| 21 | ** Big Ethel from ComicBook/{{Archie|Comics}}. Has to be one of the, if not the longest running example of this trope, and having her pursue Jughead (who doesn't like girls at all) just makes it better. ~@/{{gibberingtroper}} |
| 22 | ** '''''[[{{Yandere}} Takako]]''''' from the ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' FanFic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6638448/ Gardens of Babylon]]''. Being stalked by an AxCrazy lunatic is bad enough, but when said lunatic is '''''[[BrainBleach Your own sister...]]''''' ~@/{{Lunacorva}} |
| 23 | ** [[WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool Lunch Lady Belinda]] could give Wendy Oldbag a run for her money. ~ @/{{Monolaf317}} |
| 24 | ** WesternAnimation/PepeLePew from the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 25 | ** [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Happosai]] counts as one to [[DirtyOldMan ALL WOMANKIND.]] ~ @/MiinU |
| 26 | ** [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy The Kanker Sisters]], hands down the biggest example from my childhood. ~ @/MetalAiAi |
| 27 | * AbortedArc |
| 28 | ** [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Dark Danny never makes his return in the series despite being last seen attempting to escape the Fenton Thermos. We also never get to see what comes of Vlas Plamius and the Fright Knight's alliance.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 29 | ** [[Series/DoctorWho The Cartmel Masterplan]] ~ [=Amuck Cricetine=] |
| 30 | * AboveGoodAndEvil: |
| 31 | ** [[Anime/PsychoPass Shogo Makishima]]. ~@/AndyJ |
| 32 | * TheAbridgedSeries |
| 33 | ** Creator/MasakoX and Vegeta3986's ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'', which in 25 episodes covered ''101'' episodes of the actual series. (It's not as well executed as Creator/LittleKuriboh's [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow series]] but most definitely surpasses its [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries predecessor]] when it comes to defining the word "abridged.") ~@/MetalShadowX |
| 34 | ** Creator/TeamFourStar's ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', simply because it's [=ReginaldCuftbert=]. |
| 35 | ** Kaiser Neko's ''Anime/LupinIII Abridged''. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Too Good to Last]] indeed ~@/{{Truteal}} |
| 36 | ** ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'': It did sort of start the trend and still stands at the top with everyone else. ~@/OnePixelJumpMan, @/ManWithoutABody, [=SoundwaveSuperior=], [=TheCuriousFan=], @/{{Zfish9}}, @/{{deeman45}}, @/{{Lunacorva}}, @/DoctorRayman |
| 37 | ** Biographies, in a meta sort of way. ~@/QuackorTheFowl |
| 38 | ** ''WebVideo/NegimaTheAbridgedSeries'', just to be different. Well, also because I [[DieLaughing nearly choked to death on oxygen]] while watching it. ~guyy |
| 39 | ** ''WebVideo/NonePiece'', because any orthodox method of abridgement just wouldn't be true to the spirit of the [[Manga/OnePiece original]]. ~@/KingOfTheMimeSwing |
| 40 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjRBe0dwsQU Kill la Kill Abridged]] ~@/LordHerobrine |
| 41 | ** [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]] is a ''canon'' example! -Dragon_Feathers |
| 42 | ** ''WebVideo/ResidentEvilAbridged'' takes the NarmCharm of [=RE1=] and runs with it. ~ @/MiinU |
| 43 | ** [=SnapCube=]'s ''WebVideo/RealTimeFandub''. Every single scene featuring [[FountainOfMemes Alfred]] is a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny. ~ Five-seveN-25 |
| 44 | ** WebVideo/MyLittlePonyInANutshell ~ @/{{theautisticrebel}} |
| 45 | * AbsurdlyHighStakesGame |
| 46 | ** '''Franchise/YuGiOh''' And you know what? [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools I wouldn't have it any other way]]. ~@/{{Haldo}}, [=ReginaldCuftbert=], @/{{Lunacorva}} |
| 47 | *** Seconded ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 48 | ** VideoGame/FZero ~ Five-seveN-25 |
| 49 | * AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil |
| 50 | ** The ''Anime/BestStudentCouncil'', natch. ~@/WillyFourEyes |
| 51 | ** The Student President in ''Literature/ChromeShelledRegios'' controlled ''the entire city'' ~@/{{Sheaman3773}} |
| 52 | ** The Student Council from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' deserves a nomination, especially since the Student Council President's family owns the school (and everything else on Tatsumi Port Island.) ~@/{{Aspie}} |
| 53 | ** [[Anime/CodeGeass The Ashford Student Council]]. ~Marlee Cross |
| 54 | ** [[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena We will bring revolution to the world]] I can't believe no one has mentioned them yet. ~Rosebrook, NobodysSavior |
| 55 | ** The First Student Council President in ''Literature/AsuraCryin'' has the power to sentence students to death. And hunt demons with giant robots. ~Murgatroyd |
| 56 | ** The Public Safety Commission from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' is incredibly evil take on this trope, where they have the leeway to not only "rough up" and extort the student body, but ''publicly execute 'offenders' on hearsay.'' ~ digiman619 |
| 57 | ** Taken to literal extremes by ''[[Manga/MakenKi Maken-ki's]]'' titular student council, which is a [[KiManipulation Ki-enhanced]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower superpowered]] AmazonBrigade. ~ MiinU |
| 58 | ** The student council from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' rules an entire school with iron fist. - @/IukaSylvie |
| 59 | ** [[Manga/FoodWars The Elite Ten]] for being able to vote on who their dean is ~ randomperson123 |
| 60 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade |
| 61 | ** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Death's Scythe]], especially in ''Literature/ReaperMan''. How sharp is it? It cuts up the dialogue on the page you're reading it from. ~@/{{Highwind}}, @/ManWithoutABody, [=ReginaldCuftbert=], [=MasterNemesis=] |
| 62 | ** [[Literature/HisDarkMaterials The Subtle Knife]]. So sharp it cuts through things like steel, atomic particles, and the fabric between dimensions, among other things. ~@/{{Selryam}}, @/{{Zfish9}}, @/DarkHunter |
| 63 | ** [[Franchise/KingdomHearts The Keyblade]], it cuts entire [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[RunningGag BUILDINGS]]. @/EvaUnit01 |
| 64 | ** [[Franchise/TouhouProject Youmu]] has the dual swords Hakurouken and Roukanken. One can cut anything (including the [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] MOON [[spoiler:but not soccer balls]]), while the other can cut through CONFUSION ITSELF. ~@/SorataZ |
| 65 | ** Anything wielded by [[Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple Shigure]]. ANYTHING! ~fakeangelbr |
| 66 | ** Saladin's Damascus sword; drop a veil on it, the veil lands on the ground in two pieces. --@/{{Cuchulainn}} |
| 67 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', there is a sword that can cut you by you merely ''looking at it''. --@/TheThnikkaman, @/{{Lunacorva}} |
| 68 | ** Cloud's [[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Fusion Sword]] - sharp enough to cleave through skyscrapers, an Aeon's magic enhanced armor, and even the OneWingedAngel himself! - @/MiinU |
| 69 | * AbsurdlySpaciousSewer |
| 70 | ** ''VideoGame/FreedomFighters2003''. The main rebel base for the first half of the game is in a part of the sewer with a thirty foot high ceiling, and the tunnels leading to it are big enough for rafts that can hold supplies, ammunition, and twelve people comfortably. ~@/{{raan}} |
| 71 | ** The Garamscythe Waterway, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''. So big, you even find an [[SealedEvilInACan esper]] down there. --@/{{Cuchulainn}}, @/EvaUnit01 |
| 72 | ** ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''. The sewer was big enough to stage major fight scenes down there, plus the water down there was very clean-perhaps because NobodyPoops -- and was as wide and deep as a river. ~wrybread, @/DoctorRayman |
| 73 | ** ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge''. They are absolutely massive, filled with more than enough space to do massive trick jumps all over. Admittedly it was justified as being the main sewer system for a massive city, but still. ~@/{{Mack}} |
| 74 | * AbusiveAdvertising |
| 75 | ** Advertising/WilkinsCoffee ~Tropers/{{Thepenguinking2}} |
| 76 | * AbusiveAlienParents |
| 77 | ** [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Vriska's lusus]], a.k.a. [[FanNickname Spidermom]]. She forced her charge into becoming a serial killer. And if Vriska hadn't brought her bodies, her lusus would've eaten '''her''' instead. ~CCIB |
| 78 | * AbusiveParents |
| 79 | ** [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Rosa Ushiromiya]] ~@/{{Highwind}}, @/NoirTheExecutioner, bookie444 |
| 80 | ** [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler Hayate Ayasaki's parents]] ~@/TheSevenNights |
| 81 | ** [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo and Yui Ikari]] ~Masterminded |
| 82 | *** Mostly just Gendo, and then mostly just in the main series, but yeah. ~@/EvaUnit01 |
| 83 | ** ''Film/TheBrood'' ~@/ManWithoutABody |
| 84 | ** [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Norman Osborn]]. Especially in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. ~ Bluwale824 |
| 85 | ** [[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift Relius Clover]] ~ Irikarul |
| 86 | *** Seconded. [[SarcasmMode Clearly, he is the]] [[Memes/BlazBlue 'World's Greatest Dad']]. ~ Five-seveN-25 |
| 87 | ** [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Firelord Ozai]] ~ @/{{Babyhenchy1}}, Vellophone, mermaidgirl45, Piando, Tropers/DecafGrub47393 |
| 88 | ** [[Series/{{Lost}} Anthony Cooper]] ~ Froody 42 |
| 89 | ** [[RealLife Josef Fritzl]] ~ [=GenkiMan=] |
| 90 | ** [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Ghetsis]]]] ~ @/{{Demongodofchaos}}, @/ZeniTheWonder, [=PinkHanabi=], @/{{Yuihime}} |
| 91 | ** [[Series/{{Smallville}} Lionel Luthor]] ~ Oberyn |
| 92 | ** [[Manga/SoulEater Medusa]] ~ [=TheInvisibleSun=] |
| 93 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros Jonas Venture Sr.]] No matter how bad Rusty is with his own sons, it's petty squabbles compared to the psychological abuse his own father dumped on him. ~ Drakkenmensch |
| 94 | ** [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Precia]]. |
| 95 | ** [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Matou Zouken.]] ~ spacemonkey37, ozaniel, @/{{Zfish9}} |
| 96 | ** [[Manga/{{Naruto}} The Fourth Kazekage]] ~ [=KantonKage=] |
| 97 | ** [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter and Lois Griffin.]] ~ @/{{Ncfan}} |
| 98 | ** '''''The MOTHERF**KING' Queen from VideoGame/{{ICO}}!!!''''' She emotionally abused and manipulated her own daughter for ''years'' Even locking her in a freakin' '''''HANGING CAGE'''''!! (which was actually considered a form of '''''torture''''' in the Middle-Ages.) And her sole motivation for doing so was to [[spoiler: Make herself immortal by possesing her daughters body]]. ''WHAT A'' '''''BITCH!!!''''' ~ @/{{Lunacorva}} |
| 99 | ** [[Anime/KillLaKill Ragyo Kiryuin]]. It would be very hard for any character to pull off as many forms of abuse as her without her particular story. [[spoiler: Experiments on both her children when they're INFANTS, pulls ParentalAbandonment when she thinks said experiments killed Ryuko, tries to have the children's father killed once and later successfully manages it, molests Satsuki, pulls a strange near-literal form of MindRape on Ryuko, is an OmnicidalManiac, and repeatedly [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beats the crap out of]] Satsuki and Ryuko and people they know.]] ~ stupidskeleton |
| 100 | ** [[Anime/KotouraSan Kumiko Kotoura and her husband.]] ~ @/{{Monolaf317}} |
| 101 | ** [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack The High Priestess of Aku]] ~ @/{{MattP5557}} |
| 102 | ** [[Literature/HarryPotter Vernon and Petunia Dursley]]. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 103 | ** [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Mother Gothel]]. Even if she's not Rapunzel's actual mother (by birth or legal right), the way she raised and treated Rapunzel definitely qualifies her for this trope because of how realistic the emotional abuse was portrayed. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 104 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Judge Claude Frollo]] ~ @/{{rjd1922}} |
| 105 | ** [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Jacques Schnee]] ~ @/Connor2107 |
| 106 | ** [[Series/{{Succession}} Logan Roy]]. Between his tyrannical parenting, ruthless manipulation, vicious verbal abuse, and downright dehumanization of his children, all of which are often intertwined with his homophobia, misogyny, and other prejudices, he might just be one of the most terrifyingly awful fathers in all of television, in no small part due to how disturbingly believable he ultimately is. ~ @/{{JC300}} |
| 107 | ** [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Shou Tucker]] - Tropers/DemonDuckofDoom |
| 108 | * AbusivePrecursors |
| 109 | ** [[Franchise/MassEffect The Reapers]]. ~ @/{{Babyhenchy1}}, @/TeraChimera, @/{{Leilukin}}, @/{{Lunacorva}}, urielzet |
| 110 | ** [[VideoGame/StarCraft The Xel'Naga]] ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
| 111 | ** [[VideoGame/{{Warframe}} The Orokin]]. An extensive list of the reasons why would be too long for this entry, but in short: ''Everything'' wrong with the [[CrapsackWorld Origin System]] can be traced back to the Orokin going out of their way to be cruel bastards to their people and/or creations. ~ @/{{Reflextion}} |
| 112 | * AcademyOfAdventure |
| 113 | ** [[Webcomic/ElGoonishShive The entire Moperville, Illinois public school system]]. ~ @/{{Nlpnt}} |
| 114 | ** [[Literature/HarryPotter Hogwarts]], which serves as the modern day TropeCodifier. ~ @/{{Lunacorva}}, @/DoctorRayman |

| 121 | * AccentuateTheNegative |
| 122 | ** The Westboro Baptist Church. I DARE YOU to find something more negative ~ Ericho, @/EvaUnit01 |
| 123 | ** [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]]. Challenge accepted. ~ @/REV6Pilot |
| 124 | * AccidentalKiss |
| 125 | ** [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Negi and Nodoka]] |
| 126 | ** [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Naruto and Sasuke]]. I'm not a [[HoYay NaruSasu shipper]], but this was a pretty funny moment. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 127 | * AccidentalMisnaming |
| 128 | ** Botch... I mean Butch in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 129 | *** Seconded, along with Stephen... er, ''Stephan''. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 130 | * AccidentalPervert |
| 131 | ** [[Manga/ToLoveRu Yuuki Rito]] ~ Catt |
| 132 | *** Let's see... around 160 chapters... AccidentalPervert moments happening about 2-3 times per chapter... Yeah, Rito is this trope personified. ~ @/{{Zfish9}} |
| 133 | *** [[LampshadeHanging "It's just a talent he has."]] |
| 134 | ** [[Manga/LoveHina Keitaro Urashima]]. |
| 135 | *** Seconded. The guy [[spoiler: stripped his wife at his wedding]] for god's sake. @/{{Gamermaster}} |
| 136 | ** [[FanFic/TamersForeverSeries Takato Matsuki]]. It is one of the fics most ''[[MemeticMutation Infamous]]'' [[RunningGag Running Gags]] ~ @/{{Lunacorva}} |
| 137 | ** [[Literature/FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]] ~ Fireside |
| 138 | * TheAce |
| 139 | ** [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Jack Rakan]]. The man was able to [[InstantExpert duplicate a sword technique flawlessly on his first try after having seen it performed years ago]], punch-- scratch that, '''[[BicepPolishingGesture flex]]''' his way out of a PhantomZone, and [[spoiler:temporarily will himself back into being after being erased from existence!]]. He can even ''[[RuleOfFunny see other people's flashbacks]]''! |
| 140 | ** [[Series/{{Blackadder}} Lord Flashheart.]] No further questions. ~ Astfgl407 |
| 141 | ** [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kodoya]]. The ''only'' thing he's not good at... [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments is his job as a photographer]]. |
| 142 | ** [[Manga/MaidSama Takumi Usui]]. |
| 143 | ** [[Series/RedDwarf 'Ace' Rimmer]]. What a guy! ~ @/XFllo |
| 144 | ** [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Rhaegar Targaryen]] is unusual in that he's a ''post-humorous'' example. He was known to be excellent at everything he tried, and was beloved by the majority of the realm. Unfortunately, he was just ''slightly'' worse at fighting than Robert Baratheon, leaving him dead, and the ''far'' less politically-adept Robert as king. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}} |
| 145 | ** Franchise/{{Superman}} ~ dgenega5764. |
| 146 | ** Franchise/{{Batman}}. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 147 | * AcePilot: |

| 207 | ** [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]] always enjoys Aya Hirano's concerts and she's also quite fond of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' (The latter is true for both the English and Japanese dubs). ~ @/{{aNinjaWithAIDS}} |
| 208 | ** (English dub only) [[Manga/LuckyStar Akira Kogami]] once thought, "you [Minoru Shiraishi] sound like a nerdy turtle." Gee, [[Creator/SamRiegel just who]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 can she possibly be referring to]]? ~ @/{{aNinjaWithAIDS}} |
| 209 | ** ''[[VideoGame/NaziZombies Call of the Dead,]]'' by design. Of course the four characters just happen to fit the CelebritySurvivor model but they are not based on their roles in, say, ''Archer,'' or ''Sons of Anarchy,'' or ''Cruel Intentions.'' Nope, you're getting Buffy Summers, Machete, Freddy Kruger and Merle Dixon for this one folks. ~ @/{{tsstevens}} |

| 222 | ** Creator/HughJackman as ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''. ~ @/TripleJ |
| 223 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade |
| 224 | ** Franchise/{{Superman}} in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 225 | * AdaptationalBadass |
| 226 | ** [[Manga/DragonBall Freeza]]. In the anime, after Goku allows him to power up to 100%, he begins to put up much more of an even fight, and becomes one more example of "good guys allowing the bad guys to power up and gain an advantage" that the series gets lampooned for. In the manga, Goku let's Freeza achieve full power because even then, he ''still'' [[CurbStompBattle wasn't nearly a challenge for Super Saiyan Goku]]. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}} |
| 227 | ** The [[RatedMForManly ridiculously macho]] version of ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} portrayed by Creator/{{Shakespeare Hemmingway}}. ~ @/ArgoTheBlank |
| 228 | ** [[Literature/{{Shimoneta}} White Peak]] goes from getting dropped by a single kick in the manga version, to a full-on fight scene where he takes on Ayame, Tanukichi, ''[[TheJuggernaut and Anna]]'' all at once [[OneManArmy on his own.]] ~ @/MiinU |
| 229 | ** [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse A.M.A.Z.O.]], who goes from being limited to PowerCopying to someone capable of adapting and evolving until he becomes a straight-up RealityWarper. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 230 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: |
| 231 | ** Flintheart Glomgold in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''. While his role as EvilCounterpart to Scrooge [=McDuck=] is played serious in both the ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'', here it is parodied and Flintheart is a hilarious BigBadWannabe which makes him more interesting in my eyes. ~ @/TripleJ |
| 232 | * AdaptationalDumbass |
| 233 | ** [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles]] in ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom''. ~ @/DoctorRayman |
| 234 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow Cecil Turtle]], who in the orginal ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, was perhaps the only character to never truly lose against Bugs Bunny[[note]]He manages to outwit him twice, and while Bugs did beat him in a race during his third appearance, it ends up being a PyrrhicVictory and Cecil still gets the last laugh.[[/note]]. Here, Cecil falls for Bugs' disguises and tricks just like every other character who antagonized Bugs first, with Bugs beating him. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 235 | ** [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Drax the Destroyer]] in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''. A rare instance where it made the character more quirky and endearing to the audience (as he became LiteralMinded). ~ Fireside |
| 236 | * AdaptationalHeroism |
| 237 | ** Some of the characters in ''Fanfic/RWBYDestinyOfRemnant'', including Raven Branwen, Neo Politan, Cardin Winchester, [[spoiler:Winter Schnee, and James Ironwood]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 238 | ** ''Anime/Dororo2019'' makes Tahomaru so more heroic that he's a completely different character from his [[Manga/{{Dororo}} manga counterpart]]. - @/IukaSylvie |
| 239 | * AdaptationalNonsapience: |
| 240 | ** Snarf in ''WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011'', turned from an annoying, whiny, troublemaking [[TheScrappy scrappy]] into a tolerable pet -- easily the ''best'', wisest use of this trope '''''EVER!''''' ~ [=Julia1984=] |
| 241 | *** Seconded ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 242 | * AdaptationalModesty |
| 243 | ** [[Film/SinCity Nancy Callahan]]. This is what happens when you cast Creator/JessicaAlba as a stripper ~ [=WilliamShakesman=] |
| 244 | ** ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' does this big time to ''[[{{Hentai}} Kuroinu]]'' out of all things, ditching the NSFW elements and de-emphasizing physical attractiveness to make the world more believable as a result. ~ @/ElRise |
| 245 | * AdaptationalSympathy: |
| 246 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' gave classic ComicBook/{{Batman}} villain Mr. Freeze a tragic backstory which proved popular enough to be carried over to the mainstream comic books. ~ @/TripleJ |
| 247 | ** ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse'' depicts Nemesis as a TragicMonster, a far cry to the source material ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' depicting Nemesis as a completely unsympathetic brute. ~ [=NotGonnaDoALot4=] |
| 248 | * AdaptationalVillainy |
| 249 | ** [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Oh, my god,]] [[spoiler: Darkrai (Explorers)]]. Good lord ~ ShiningCrimsonZero |
| 250 | ** Who would have thought the GreaterScopeVillain and BigBad of the first season of ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' would be [[spoiler:Thomas Wayne and Vicki Vale respectively]]? ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 251 | ** Hades in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. He's the TropeCodifier for EverybodyHatesHades for a reason - as he's a hilarious and convincing villain in contrast to the more neutral god of Myth/ClassicalMythology. ~ @/TripleJ |
| 252 | * AdaptationalWimp |
| 253 | ** Black Mask in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''. ~ Five-seveN-25 |
| 254 | ** The Film/XMenFilmSeries version of ComicBook/{{Rogue}} ~ [=WilliamShakesman=] |
| 255 | ** [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]], hands down. Criminally underrated and repeatedly downplayed in ''every single'' live-action film adaptation of the aforementioned ''X-Men''. ~@/MiinU |
| 256 | ** ''VideoGame/SilverSurfer1990'' turns the titular extremely powerful superhero into a wimp who dies in one hit to grazing a wall or a rubber duck. ~ Tropers/DecafGrub47393 |
| 257 | * AdaptationInducedPlotHole |
| 258 | ** The English dub of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2''. Shadow forgets what Chaos Control is, and he used it several times by that point! ~ Five-seveN-25 |
| 259 | ** Slugworth, or rather Mr. Wilkerson's characterization in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryWillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''. He acts more like a villainous character here and his justification for acting like that towards Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy only come off as a VoodooShark instead. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |

| 544 | ** ''VideoGame/GuardiansCrusade'', in addition to making frequent and heavy usage of this trope, has one specific example which is incredibly played with. HeroicMime [[MeaningfulName Knight]] assigned to go collect an emerald guarded by a fierce monster from a rather greedy mayor; as he needs the emerald to pay for the ticket with which he'll set sail over the sea, he agrees to get the gem and return. After a series of sidequests during which he meets a knight, a wizard, and a witch who Knight trails behind right until they get to the boss, at which point just in front of them the traveling party defeats the monster effortlessly and takes the emerald. The party's ExpositionFairy Nehani is rightfully a bit upset, and exclaims that now they'll have to find something else to bribe the mayor with. The reason this becomes a Most Triumphant Example despite looking completely different at first is that while Knight's party's goals are only to get the gemstone and get the ticket to travel across the ocean and the knight does not have those goals [[spoiler: (he is instead trying to stop Karmine, an opponent you yourself have to defeat later on)]], his actions dovetail nicely with yours later on. In addition, if you inspect the beast after the other party has defeated it you'll be able to go into a rather weak OptionalBoss which will earn you the best shield you can get at that point in the game. The options make the trope so confusing in terms of how it's played with that it could technically be Zig Zagged, Subverted, Justified, and Discussed, plus the tons of other times the trope constantly comes into play in ''Guardian's Crusade''. ~ Gryzalb |

| 1047 | ** ''Franchise/StarWars'': "Look Sir, Droids!" got his own EU story and an entry into the original Essential Guide to Characters.

| 1128 | ** Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya. Drawing giant alien chalk symbols, smashing Kyon's head into a chair so she can scream her new idea at him in the middle of class, joining and quitting ''every club in the school'' before making her own club of people to demand constant attention from, and generally being absurdly bossy and hyperactive at all times; the sky's the limit!

| 1148 | ** ''Series/ICarly'': ''iStart A Fan War'' ended with the main character ranting about how {{Shipping}} had taken over the in-universe equivalent of the real life fandom, and that everyone should just appreciate the show for the comedy. It was especially galling since the ''very next episode'' was entirely centred around shipping. |
