General Page Quote Discussion:

I tried making an image suggestion for No Hugging, No Kissing of a creator's Facebook post telling fans not to speculate romance between the main characters/ask the creators to make romance happen since there won't be any. I was told it's too texty and might do better as a page quote instead, so now I've come here.

If this could work as a page quote, I'd like to ask for help on how to mention that Nizam Abd Razak is the creator of BoBoiBoy and include the post link. Note that I removed the last sentence in the post because it's not relevant here (just saying to look forward to the next installment).

Re: quote of To Boldly Flee: I like that one more as well (the current reads more like What Happened to the Mouse? or Big-Lipped Alligator Moment or something else), though the character can probably be unspoiled. Out of context it's not that spoilery.

how about:

— Facebook post by Nizam Abd Razak, creator of BoBoiBoy

Alright, thank you!

I have a few questions though:

1. I intend to eventually make the page for Creator.Animonsta Studios, the studio that made BBB that Nizam Razak founded. Once I do, could I pothole it to his name?
2. Should this go in QuoteSource.Other Media under BoBoiBoy (in the Asian Animation folder) or not (since it's a Word of God statement)?

Franchise.The Crow has 2 quotes:

I like the comic one more due coming from the main character.

Both are good, but I agree.

Agreed...the movie quote could be moved to a Quotes subpage with a couple of other quotes pulled from a Quotes site somewhere.

Death by Adaptation doesn't seem like it works without context of the original work.

Pull. No suggestions for replacement.

I added the quote to The Law of Conservation of Detail. I followed mightymewtron's advice and removed the spoiler markup. I hope no one has any issues with that.

Also, Pull. Without context the quote is incomprehensible.

Pull regardless of replacement. No idea what's going on there.

Does the quote on Two-Part Trilogy really work? I mean the trope is about a sequel being split into two and making it a trilogy and basically a two-part story told in three films, but all I get from that quote is that the sequels weren't planned.

Agreed, that's not illustrating the correct trope.

Fake Crossover and Visual Pun almost have the same quote, and I like it better on Fake Crossover. Here's a replacement for Visual Pun from the quotes page:

Works well for illustrating the concept in text form.

Great one!

So, I don't have a replacement suggestion for Two-Part Trilogy. Should I just remove it?

Keep until better quote suggested. It's just Conversational Troping.

Is it? Like it doesn't mention the trope at all. It doesn't mention that the sequel was split into two making it a two-part story over 3 films but focuses on the sequels not being planned.

Actually, how is this for Two-Part Trilogy:

"The next 2 movies in the Pirates run were shot back-to-back in an attempt to replicate the success of the Lord of the Rings movies, which did the exact same thing. However, they wound up feeling more like the Hobbit films. In that they were filled with filler scenes that were only meant to prolong the plot, add to the run time, and divide up what really should have been one movie into two."

—Vee Infuso on the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films, "THE DAY PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN DIED"

I know that there are more than three Pirates films, but they were for a while advertised as a trilogy before the fourth and fifth one.

I don't see a problem with the current Two-Part Trilogy quote (though the "to be concluded" part should really be within quotes), and the suggested replacement is both a bit bashy towards the films and, as you pointed out, slightly dated.

The current quote is about the Matrix, which is also outdated to call a trilogy. Otherwise, fair and if everyone else wants to keep it. Then I am fine with it. I did add those quote marks around "to be concluded" though.

"The current quote is about the Matrix, which is also outdated to call a trilogy."

Fair!

Beachwalker seems to have quoted the entire synopsis from the official site. Should it be entirely cut for plagiarism, or can a small part of it stay?
