| 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. |

| 19 | * VanHelsingHateCrimes |
| 20 | ** [[Manga/TokyoGhoul CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul), which will indiscriminately kill any ghoul regardless of age or actions.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 21 | * VengefulGhost |
| 22 | ** [[spoiler:Agatha "Aggie" Prenderghast]] from ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' - Tropers/IukaSylvie |
| 23 | * VengefulVendingMachine |
| 24 | ** Undoubtedly the vending machine that Rimmer robs using the "coin on a string" trick in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIIOnlyTheGood Only The Good]]", which after unsuccessfully trying to alert someone, ''swears vengeance against him'' (and [[BrickJoke at the end of the episode]], actually gets it)! ~ @/ArcaneAzmadi |
| 25 | -->'''Vending machine:''' You are my ''nemesis!'' One day our paths will cross again, and I ''will destroy you!'' |
| 26 | * VerbThis |
| 27 | ** [[Film/EvilDead2 "Swallow this."]] ~ Beedle |
| 28 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans "Devour this!"]], said Starfire. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 29 | * VerbalTic |
| 30 | ** Manga/{{Naruto}}. Dear ''God'', Naruto. ~ @/{{Carla}} |
| 31 | *** Believe it, dattebayo! ~ @/MetalShadowX |
| 32 | ** [[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Mei Ijuin]] ''na no da'' ! ~ @/AceNoctali |
| 33 | ** [[Manga/RozenMaiden Suiseiseki's]] desu must not fail this one! ~desu ~ Kulsprutejojjo |
| 34 | ** [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Nipaah~ Nano desu~]] ~ @/{{Zfish9}} |
| 35 | *** I second this and would like to add a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hau au au]]. In light of the entire When They Cry franchise, I would also like to add an [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Uu uu]] and an [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Uryuu]] while I'm at it. ~Witch of Cicadas |
| 36 | ** [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Narf! Poit! Zort! Troz!]] ~ @/WillDraco |
| 37 | ** I'll tell you what, dang ol' [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Boomhauer]], man! ~redhed311 |
| 38 | ** Manga/KanonChihoSaito. Don't believe me? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT2GRpwwS8M Watch the video]]. ~Aethix |
| 39 | ** [[Series/DoctorWho Ah, but what of the Doctor]], dear boy? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? --@/{{Wackd}} |
| 40 | ** The [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Mr. Saturns']] Zoom! Boing! Ding! ~ aNinjaWithAIDS |
| 41 | ** [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron]], [[BigYes yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!]] -~dave_the_assassin-~ |
| 42 | * VerbalWeakness |
| 43 | ** [[Anime/DragonBallZFusionReborn Janemba]], who can be physically harmed by ''insults''. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 44 | * VideoGame3DLeap |
| 45 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' ~ [=WilliamShakesman=] |
| 46 | ** Aside from ''Super Mario 64'', ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' is probably the best example of this due to overhauling everything from the NES trilogy and still being as beloved as those games. ~ [=TimeLordVictorious=] |
| 47 | * VideoGameCaringPotential |
| 48 | ** ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon''. If you like animals. ~ [=CounterBlitzkrieg=] |
| 49 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'', because the thought of missing a lone Pikmin is ''just'' that maddening. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}} |
| 50 | * VideoGameCrueltyPotential |
| 51 | ** ''VideoGame/TheSims''. ''[[CruelandUnusualDeath The]] [[ComedicSociopathy S]][[ColdBloodedTorture i]][[TooDumbToLive m]][[EvilFeelsGood s]]''. ~MetaFalcario, @/InsanityPrelude |
| 52 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}''. While some other games have [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} explored the nuances of evils such as genocide]], or [[VideoGame/HeartsOfIron dance around the topic]], this game is rather unique in giving you multiple options of genocide. Such as forced mass neutering, [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil having the species (more like race in this context) worked to the grave]], harvesting a species' LifeEnergy with Chemical Processing, and good old fashioned [[FinalSolution Extermination]]. There's much, ''much'' more to this, but if it's not obvious, "Least Unhinged Stellaris Player" is a meme for a reason. ~QueenOphiuca |
| 53 | ** ''VideoGame/MadWorld''. Sure, other games may have more potential, but in [=MadWorld=] it's a REQUIREMENT~ACW |
| 54 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is this trope, to the point that (almost) all else seems like a cute puppy simulator. Just try to avoid collateral damage for one mission, I dare you. ~Ninjat_126 |
| 55 | ** ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', for science! ~ @/{{Yuihime}} |
| 56 | *** I don't even play this game and I'm seconding it. [[MoralEventHorizon Mermaid farms]], anyone? ~ @/ZettaToad |
| 57 | *** Thirded. ~ @/{{Ionz}} |
| 58 | *** Fourthed. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}} |
| 59 | ** Killing [[TheScrappy Slippy Toad]] in the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' games. ~ @/iansimsjam* |
| 60 | ** [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Attacking Toriel just when she's convinced to stand down, or killing Papyrus when he offers to spare and let you go.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 61 | * VideoGameCrueltyPunishment |
| 62 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[spoiler: want to kill everything? well, unless you do some hacking, you can kiss your untainted GoldenEnding goodbye]] ~waddledeelover29 |
| 63 | ** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Cuccos]]. [[ZergRush Enough said.]] ~@MetalAiAi |
| 64 | ** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The Sorrow]] ~ Fireside |
| 65 | * ViewersAreGeniuses |
| 66 | ** ''Film/{{Primer}}''. That is all. ~ @/{{Comonad}} |
| 67 | ** ''Literature/CompleteWorldKnowledge'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
| 68 | ** Creator/DennisMiller's "rants" on his Creator/{{HBO}} talk show. Didn't quite work out as well for him when he was in the ''Series/MondayNightFootball'' announcer's booth, though. ~ @/WillyFourEyes |
| 69 | ** ''The Silent Partner'', which didn't do well in theaters because it turned out the viewers weren't. ~ @/MarvelGirl |
| 70 | ** Creator/HPLovecraft. -Ziggy Zag |
| 71 | ** ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic''. Including the occasional [[DontExplainTheJoke explanations]]. ~ @/ProgenyExMachina |
| 72 | ** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' ~ @/{{Carla}} |
| 73 | ** ''Series/TheWire'' ~ Mens Rea, rickdakirb |
| 74 | ** ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' (especially [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex the series]]) ~ Celestial |
| 75 | ** As much as this editor considered agreeing with ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Stand-Alone Complex]]'', in the end he must reluctantly give the championship belt to ''Literature/SoldierOfTheMist'' by Creator/GeneWolfe. --@/{{Gfrequency}} |
| 76 | ** ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'' ~ @/TwinBird |
| 77 | ** Any movie by Creator/MamoruOshii. ~ gatotsu911 |
| 78 | * ViewersAreMorons |
| 79 | ** Creator/{{NBC}}'s continued refusal to allow U.S viewers to access a legit livestream of Olympic opening ceremonies "so our producers can provide context" (translation: they think the incessant, inane blathering of ''Series/TheTodayShow'' hosts is ''[[UnwantedAssistance helping]]''. ~ @/{{Nlpnt}} |
| 80 | *** Seconded ''so hard''. They do the same thing when covering the sports. It doesn't help that a lot of the commentators know next to nothing about the sport they're commentating, and somehow think we won't notice. They also like to pretend that the Americans are always the favorites to win even when they aren't and treat every loss like an unforeseeable upset and complete outrage. (Not to mention in Rio they tried to get the Portuguese "Estados Unidos" changed to the English "United States" in the parade of nations so "viewers wouldn't get confused." ~ @/{{Cailleach}} |
| 81 | * VigilanteMan |
| 82 | ** ComicBook/ThePunisher ~ [=WilliamShakesman=] |
| 83 | * VileVillainLaughableLackey |
| 84 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Emperor Belos and his Coven]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 85 | * VilerNewVillain: |
| 86 | ** Vulture from ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' just wanted to look out after his crew and protected Spider-Man's identity. [[spoiler:Mysterio from ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' threatened his crew for his mistakes and ends up exposing Spider-Man's identity to the world just to get the last laugh.]] ~[=Kuchiki222=] |
| 87 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow |
| 88 | ** VideoGame/{{Kirby}}~ACW |
| 89 | *** So seconded. "Look at this adorable world with its adorable protagonist aw how cu- [[BloodyMurder IS THAT THING ATTACKING WITH BLOOD!?!?!?!?"]] ~ @/ZettaToad |
| 90 | ** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] ~@/SacredSturgeon |
| 91 | ** Let's see...[[Series/KamenRiderFourze Pyxis Zodiarts, Cancer Zodiarts, Aries Zodiarts, Gemini Zodiarts, Sagittarius Zodiarts.]] on a ''Series/KamenRider'' show about ''friendship'', made to ''cheer up the faces of children after the 2011 Tsunami''. -Azada |
| 92 | ** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', with Darkrai, Ghetsis and Purple Eyes being popular examples, even if Ghetsis doesn't qualify as a Complete Monster. ~@/KandiKorn22 |
| 93 | ** In [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a series with no shortage of these]], Starlight Glimmer takes the cake. When she first shows up, she's revealed to be essentially a cult leader with a silver tongue, a hatred of individuality, and the disturbing ability to remove a pony's cutie mark, which represents the essence of who they are (meaning she's essentially [[YourSoulIsMine taking their souls]]). While those who fell for her rhetoric are shown that she doesn't have their best interests in mind all the cutie marks she's taken are returned to their rightful owners, she herself escapes, and returns at the end of the season with a massive boost of magical power, enough to match Twilight Sparkle. With it, she completes and modifies the time travel spell of an ancient sage, and uses it to disrupt the past, with Twilight repeatedly trying to stop her and failing, causing her to see the alternate timelines that result from those failures, each worse than the last. |
| 94 | ** [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland Simone Lenoir, Lena Dupree, and Jacques]] are probably some of the most notable examples of this trope in the entire ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 95 | ** [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck Darkwarrior Duck]] ~newaccount |
| 96 | * VillainBeatingArtifact |
| 97 | ** ''[[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Samurai Jack's]]''' katanna, the one weapon Aku fears more than anything. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 98 | * VillainDecay |
| 99 | ** The Rabbids from ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}: VideoGame/RavingRabbids'' used to be more intimidating in previews. Now they're total incompetent jokes. [[RuleOfFunny They're much more hilarious that way]]. ~@/{{Cliche}} |
| 100 | ** ''Literature/{{Hannibal}}'', why? ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
| 101 | ** [[Series/{{Alias}} Irina Derevko]]. ~ @/VoodooChild |
| 102 | ** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser.]] But in this case, Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad ~mrbits, rickdakirb |
| 103 | ** [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Raijuta Isurugi]] ~ gatotsu911 |
| 104 | ** Carface, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'', goes from a menacing villain to a laughable lackey in the [[WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2 sequel]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 105 | * VillainsWantMercy |
| 106 | ** [[Franchise/MegaMan Dr. Wily whenever he's defeated by Mega Man]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 107 | * VillainOverride |
| 108 | ** "'''''[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.]]'''''" ~ @/{{Skritz}}, rickdakrib, @/InsanityPrelude |

| 110 | ** [[spoiler: [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Cat Sith]]]]. ~ hujwernoo |
| 111 | * VillainessesWantHeroes |
| 112 | ** [[Manga/AkameGaKill Esdeath's unrequited crush on Tatsumi]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 113 | * VillainousBreakdown |
| 114 | ** [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]]. ~Chuckg |
| 115 | *** Seconded. ~ Tongpu |
| 116 | *** Thirded. ~ Pureauthor |
| 117 | *** Obviously ~ @/MS3049 |
| 118 | *** Fiftith ~ babyhenchy1 |
| 119 | *** Sixth...ed! ~ Iceeh |
| 120 | *** Seventh...ed! ~ Mermaidgirl45 |

| 126 | *** Thirteenthed. ~ Sanfranman91 |
| 127 | *** Fourteenth-ed. ~ hujwernoo |
| 128 | *** Fifteenthed. To this day, I have difficulty watching that part, it was so powerful. -Whunt |
| 129 | *** Sixteenthed. ~ Fireside |
| 130 | ** [[Film/DirtyHarry The Scorpio Killer]]. ~Killer BOB Dole |
| 131 | ** [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Apollo Justice's]] [[spoiler:Kristoph Gavin]]. For an idea of this, he gets so mad that as he raises his fist to bang on the witness stand in frustration, the [[spoiler:dishes]] that had previously fallen on the ground behind him ''rise up into the air and fall down as he slams his fist on the witness stand.'' Please note: this man has no magic powers. ~Darkurai |
| 132 | *** Same game series, different perp: [[spoiler:Damon Gant]]. How many villains do ''you'' know that have a breakdown speech where they stand there laughing and clapping maniacally for an ''entire minute''? ~ @/WillyFourEyes |
| 133 | *** Same series (notice a trend?), different villain: [[spoiler: Manfred von Karma]]. After he spends hours grinning smugly at you, the guy snaps like a twig on slow-motion and bangs his head against the wall after ''screaming at the top of his lungs''. ~ vicnog |
| 134 | *** Really, pretty much any villain in this series. [[spoiler:Redd White]] with his strange headdesking thing, [[spoiler:Dahlia Hawthorne]] in 3-1 AND 3-5. [[spoiler:The Tiger]]'s seizure-inducing breakdown, and [[spoiler:Daryan Cresend]] and his hair. Going everywhere. |
| 135 | *** Gotta give it to [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]] clawing his face out, although all of the breakdowns in the series are great. Considering it's kind of a once an episode type thing, the whole SERIES deserves to be the Most Triumphant Example, although this troper is tempted by [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] and [[Series/TheWire Marlo Stanfield]]. ~rickdakirb |
| 136 | ** ''Film/RedDragon'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
| 137 | ** [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] ~ @/{{Lionheart0}} |
| 138 | ** [[Series/TheWire Marlo Stanfield]]: '''MY NAME IS MY NAME!''' ~ insert_name_here92 |
| 139 | ** [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Gul Dukat]] to the point of [[spoiler:''getting plastic surgery to make him look like a Bajoran and seducing the head of the Bajoran religion.'']] ~ [=EvaLilith=] |
| 140 | ** [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Soujirou Seta]]. His sudden change from DissonantSerenity to this is damn ''scary'', and simply masterful ~ @/{{Carla}} |

| 156 | * VillainHasAPoint |
| 157 | ** The {{Arc Villain}}s of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', as [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Toph, all had good ideas, but went too far with them. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 158 | ** [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Darth Traya]] being completely right about the Force being a source of an Eternal War, which is proven by all other ''Franchise/StarWars'' media that takes place after ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', including George's plans for his Sequel Trilogy. ~@/Kevjro7 |
| 159 | ** [[Film/BlackPanther2018 Killmonger]] ~ Loekman3 |
| 160 | * VillainProtagonist |
| 161 | ** Lord [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]] ~ @/{{Eriksson}} |
| 162 | *** Seconded for being the most hilariously awesome villain protagonist ever. ~rickdakrib |
| 163 | ** [[Franchise/LupinIII Lupin III]], the longest running, most successful example in anime and manga, and still ''[[LovableRogue the best]]'' at it. ~ @/MiinU |
| 164 | ** [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]]. ~@/{{Mapi-chan}} |
| 165 | *** [[@/{{deeman45}} Full stop.]] |

| 169 | *** [[@/{{Zfish9}} Yeah, I'd say so.]] |
| 170 | *** Very much. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller |
| 171 | ** [[Theatre/{{Amadeus}} Salieri]] ~Silence |
| 172 | ** [[Literature/AmericanPsycho Patrick Bateman]] -getmemygun |
| 173 | ** [[ComicBook/StarWarsDoctorAphra Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra.]] Morally-dubious archaeologist and one-time [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] fangirl. Terrible person, tremendous fun. ~ @/{{cosmatonspoon}} |
| 174 | ** WesternAnimation/InvaderZim ~@/{{Pikawil}} |
| 175 | ** Film/TheAbominableDrPhibes, particularly in the sequel ~ @/ManWithoutABody |
| 176 | ** [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]]. Non-stop. The games never try to hide from you the fact that the guy is a monster, and after the events of the first game you can cross off the Hero in AntiHero in regards to him. ~ The Jerk with No Name, Dracosummoner, @/{{todbot1}} |
| 177 | ** WebVideo/{{Doctor Horrible|sSingAlongBlog}}. ~ [=EvaLilith=] |
| 178 | ** The Nazis from ''Film/DasBoot''. No other story I know of can so consistently make you root for them and feel for them before slapping yourself once more and reminding yourself of who they are. That ending alone seals the deal. -Ziggy Zag |
| 179 | ** [[Film/Scarface1983 Tony Montana]]. ~ [=CounterBlitzkrieg=] |

| 190 | ** [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Eren Yaeger]] ~ Loekman3 |
| 191 | ** Playa/The Boss in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''. Unlike the other games in the series, this game does not sugarcoat Playa at all. The game fully revels in them being a unmitigated psychopath whose only redeeming quality is their loyalty to their gang members. Anyone else is fair game. ~ [=RyanPuffs=] |

| 204 | ** What? No mention of Ursula? [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 You poor unfortunate souls!]] - Max1099 |
| 205 | ** Music/DoctorSteel. Many, since he's a musical supervillain. But "Dr. Steel" is probably the crowner. "I have become the man with a plan / With an army of toys and a mechanical band / Ruling the world making everything real / I’m Dr. Steel, Dr. Steel!" ~ @/JonnyB |
| 206 | ** [[EvilMatriarch The Queen of the Night's]] aria "Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen," from Mozart's ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute''. |
