Ambiguous Name: Pound Of Flesh Twist

If those are named based on the same Shakespeare reference as this trope, that's not very relevant.

Indeed; I'm sure most people think about The Merchant of Venice when they hear "a pound of flesh".

Still not a good name, though.

I think of the Greed victim in Se7en. (Pretty sure all uses trace back to the same source, though.)

Yeah, that was a reference to The Merchant of Venice.

Well then, we have a clear lead to rename the trope. Shall we rename it then?

Hopefully not. Again, William Shakespeare is not unclear or ambiguous.

Calling crowner in favour of renaming.

Have we decided on an new name for the trope:

Propose: Meaningless Villain Victory

To go with that, Profitless Villain Victory?

There was a request to hook a crowner, but I was given no links. You can find how to make crowners here or on How Crowners Work.

I didn't know how to make one, which is why I couldn't find a link.

My apologies.

(Goes to make one.)

Here's the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/AlternativeTitles/PoundOfFleshTwist?open=all#2qs24ggi

It's in.

Calling crowner.

This one looks pretty short and sweet. I'll take care of the move.

And, I'm done to the best of my knowledge.

Page is up, wicks moved, page moved, redirects added, Renamed Tropes updated (page and FAQ thread).

I suppose we can either lock this up or leave it around.

You need to send a holler to move the discussion and close the thread. I moved it in this case.

Locking up.
