@523 I think that needs a TRS. I think I maybe get what it's trying to be, but it's a mess.
@524 It's not just you.

You know, come to think of it, what does Robot Dog that merits being a trope beyond "a robotic dog"? I can't get that from the description, and there's no laconic.
So it's a definite TRS job, then?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Anyone else think that the description for Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action is too long, spends too much time explaining the Trope Namer, and is too videogame/mon specific?
Agree, agree and agrre again.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanTook out the Pokemon stuff.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerUh, you could've moved that to the Pokemon example in Video Games, you know. It's not mentioned there.
EDIT: Did that just now.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.I'd make a TRS thing for Animalistic Abomination, but it's full at the moment. Overfilled, actually.
I'm too old to be cute dammitIf you have some time to spare, try getting one of these threads done.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt doesn't need a TRS. It needs some cleanup and fleshing out. There's nothing the TRS can do about it. The definition is pretty clear.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer...aside from the ongoing confusion over what exactly constitutes an 'abomination'.
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableIt's supposed to mean an Eldritch Abomination, just like in Humanoid Abomination.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.The bijuu were classified as vanilla EA's to begin with, which is why I included them.
I'm too old to be cute dammitI know; that's the root of the problem. Eldritch Abomination has been in and out of TRS multiple times because there are problems with it but no one can agree what. note The last thread died without any consensus besides 'someone should probably clean it up'.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableDuring the War has been noted as needing improvement badly.
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableI added a new description to the original thread for it. Tell me if it works for you.
Don't make me destroy you. @ Castle SeriesThreatening Shark has a rather lengthy description,it seems.
this music plays whenever I post also a boxYet another spurious RL paragraph.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSend it to Analysis, or just cut it out entirely?
Pick your choices. I think that it isn't really Analysis as much as a subversion.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanElemental Powers is too long!
Also,I've zapped the real stuff from the shark trope.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanElemental Powers is making my eye twitch. That's like 10 tropes put as one... We need to separate it into sub-tropes.
Don't make me destroy you. @ Castle SeriesElemental Powers is a pretty high level supertrope. What it is doing is listing and explaining the subtropes. I suppose we could simplify it and simply have a basic subtrope list, but in this case, I don't think that would improve things.

I got rid of the annoying bullets, at least.

There's a lot more problems with Animalistic Abomination than its description. Zero Context Examples, wrong Example Indentation, "speaking of" Word Cruft...
