Suggestion: Character Title

Go To

The current page image for Character Title also happens to examplify Protagonist Title, which doesn't have a picture.

Since Character Title is more of a supertrope, I suggest moving the current to Protagonist Title, and either find one more appropriate to Character Title (maybe a montage?) or leave it imageless.

Honestly, I'd vote to move this to TRS, since Character Title sounds like a supertrope for all the others. Moving the Superman pic to Protagonist Title works for me in the meantime.

Moving the image sounds like a good idea.

Bump; anyone else in favor of 1) the pic move 2) moving this to TRS?

Yes, move the image. I don't see any TRS-able issues here, though.

[up] Looking at the examples, the vast majority of them would be better suited for inclusion on the more specific tropes like Protagonist Title, if they're not already there.

The only examples that would not belong on any of these as a subtrope would be Maguffen Character Title, which would be better filed under MacGuffin Title if that exists, {{Protagonist's Team Title}} or Protagonist Duo Title.

Yeah. I'm fine with moving the image, but I don't think we're going to find a single image for this page which doesn't fit on another (given that there is Secondary Character Title, which is "character title where the character is not the protagonist or antagonist").

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Could we use a Posthumous Character title, like Rebecca or does that that fit one of the subtropes too?

I think that could work.

Yeah. The film poster works well because it doesn't immediately imply that the pictured woman is Rebecca. Wiki size (350 high):

A few more votes and we could go with that.

Shouldn't it be something different than that though seeing how its a duo? A team like the Power Rangers would be as well. /shrug nvm then.

Name and Name is the trope for that.

Ahh ok. Should examples of that be removed off this page? Its swimming with them.

That trope is also imageless, hmm.

17 works (barely; I would not mind seeing a less crowded suggestion) for Name and Name, especially since it's not strictly literal (it's a & not an "and"). Any more opinions on 13?

I vote too for the Rebecca poster as a good example of Character Title. Plus there's no duplicate problem since Film.Rebecca is currently a redirect.

So, move the Superman pic to Protagonist Title, and use this one here.

Don't have an image off-hand, but what about the cover of The Strange Caseof Dr Jekylland Mr Hyde?

Two characters in the title, and neither are the protagonist.

The book has been released many times, so we can avoid duplicating the works page.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Bump; another vote or two for 13 and we can swap it in for Character Title and move the current to Protagonist Title.
