The delay is not about time or rube-goldberg devices, but about injury and death. I think it should be renamed Delayed Casualty.

A possible victim of Rouge Angles of Satin perhaps?

I disagree; the description clearly notes destruction of objects, and that shows up several times in the examples.

^ In that case it seems to me like the name is broader than the definition we have here.

IMO Delayed Causality being made into a supertrope seems like the best idea but it does not look like there is a lot of interest in actually doing to work.

I don't have time tonight, but if someone could put up a crowner on proposing Delayed Causality as a Missing Supertrope of any instance of a Cause and Effect relationship having a pause inserted into it, then we'd probably not have to shut this thread down, because discussion has been very inactive.

Re-clocking, but this will be the last time, I think.

Clock is up with no progress; closing this.
