ForMassiveDamage as supertrope launched as ForMassiveDamageDiscussion: From YKTTW From YKTTW 
Cosmetor: I think a better title for this entry would be Shoot The Core, of Gradius fame. For Massive Damage doesn't seem connected enough to the main concept.
Andrew Leprich: I agree that the current name isn't very descriptive. If we were to change it, I would prefer something like Achilles Heel Boss, as it's a Wiki Word-friendly noun. It also complements Achilles Heel nicely and matches all the other "_____ Boss" entries.
Cosmetor: I disagree with Achilles Heel Boss, as our definition of Achilles Heel extends to any sort of weakness, not just parts of one's body. Another possible name for this entry is Big Core Boss, so named for the famous Gradius boss series, Big Core, and also a good description of the trope.
Cosmetor again: Whatever new title we decide on, I suggest we change it soon, because the current title is somewhat irritating to me. How would we go about doing that?
Aside from all this stuff, I can't get to the dang PAGE for this trope. It always goes to Attack Its Weak Point . Is this an intentional redirect? If it is, I or someone need to go fix its billion wicks.
Adam850: The opening quote is very odd, and does not fit well. Zeke: WELL FINE THEN. I've always found that comic hilarious, but it is odd (of course it's odd), so I'll remove it. I'll copy it below so as not to remove all context from these comments. "There's one big flaw with most Kiddy Grade hentai, though..." "Most Kiddy Grade hentai has a flashing weak spot allowing the hero to destroy it in three shots?" —from the webcomic Fint
Why hasn't anyone mentioned Smaug from The Hobbit? Joseph_Leito: Removed the * Also General Grevious in Revenge of the Sith from examples. He didn't have a weak point, that was just convenient. Cutting his head off with a lightsaber would've worked equally well, and he was by no means immune to blaster bolts. |
