Hmmm.... what does Title: Requiem look like on the wiki?

Links or potholes to the Trope Page using a work's title

  1. Defiant to the End: The Final Crisis tie-in one-shot Requiem reveals the Martian Manhunter didn't go to his Comic Book Death when he was stabbed in the back by Libra's flaming spear but reveals that J'onn put up a fight in his escape attempt. Even after it failed, when he knew he'd die, he told Libra, "Your kind will fail. Your kind will always fail." BOLDED pothole
  2. Do Not Go Gentle: While Final Crisis itself showed the Martian Manhunter getting stabbed in the back by Libra's flaming spear, the Requiem one-shot reveals that J'onn didn't go to his Comic Book Death merely from this, but went down fighting the Secret Society, even managing to get some friends to tell his life story and tell Libra to his face that he'd never win. BOLDED pothole
  3. Grand Finale: ** In the initial plans, Ultimatum was going to be the grand finale of the Ultimate Marvel universe, followed by a reboot. The three ongoing series at the time, Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four got their Title: Requiem issues. But then it was decided to continue the story from that point. However, it still counts has a grand finale for the phase 1 of the X-Men. This one looks like it's generalizing the "WorkTitle:Requiem" pattern.

Meaningful Title

  1. Film.Requiem For A Heavyweight: Appropriate for a heavyweight boxer at the end of his career, which has been a sad failure.
  2. VisualNovel.Higurashi When They Cry: Requiem for the Disaster is exactly that, with the Big Bad rejoicing during the whole song for a full dollop of Mood Dissonance. Meaningful Title - which is chairs
  3. Webcomic.AOT No Requiem: As described by the main page, a requiem is a song to honor the dead or to be played at a funeral, which is fitting considering AOTNR's story. Another Meaningful Title entry

Entries in other trope descriptions

  1. Stock Subtitle: Listed as Subtrope. Debatable.
  2. Subtitle: Lastly, there are tropes that only look like they'd go here, like Episode Zero: The Beginning, for titles with the number 0 and beginning something, and Title: Requiem, for titles with the word "Requiem" in it, implying that event's going to occur... Directly contradicts entry on Stock Subtitle.
  3. The Last Title: Compare Title: Requiem.
  4. Title Tropes: Listed, of course.
  5. ImageSource.Marvel Comics: Yeah, Yeah. The page image is from the Silver Surfer issue "Requiem"

Other

  1. Recap.Star Trek S 3 E 19 Requiem For Methuselah: The episode is called "Requiem for Methuselah", an allusion to the Biblical Methuselah, who was reported to have lived for 969 years (and who, according to Flint, was another of his past identities). Why not trope as Literary Allusion Title, then?
  2. VideoGame.Dark Parables: Pure ZCE
