Pre-redirect discussion page: What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome Discussion
Phartman: Okay, so this applies to mundane events depicted in an impressive way, but what happens when it's supposed to be impressive, but works the Rule Of Cool so hard that it ends becoming ridiculous instead of awesome, i.e. too ridiculous for Willing Suspension Of Disbelief to adequately cover? It could be considered a Narm, I guess, but in my opinion, it's a unique enough situation to warrant its own entry. Trouser Wearing Barbarian: It's definitely tropeable, although I'm not sure what it would be called. So Good Its Bad, maybe?
Almost all the examples are parodies - I think it would be more interesting to see a "played straight" version of the trope. Then again, it would only ever be played straight in very bad narratives, so perhaps that's too subjective or uncommon. Oh well. Somebody else can work it out - that's what wikis are for... — Richard W macroscopic: Removed spoiler tags for some Death Note examples. By the time the name Mikami Teru becomes meaningful to (or is even made aware of) the reader/viewer his role is perfectly clear so the tag was unnecessary. Also, if the troper who put spoiler tags over Mellow's name could reasonably explain how eating a chocolate bar constitutes a spoiler I will promise my undying friendship and loyalty. Yes, really. |
