I still don't like the concept or definition of Outside-Genre Foe.

The easiest path to take is to rename Outside Context Villain to Outside Context Problem, since that is the preexisting term anyway, leave Outside Context Hero as a sub trope and then finish the other sub tropes at your convenience.

Technologically Advanced Foe and Outside-Genre Foe are both done. Sandboxes in the crowner. They can be moved in at any time.

Bump. Can I move in the sandboxes?

Bump. Is there anyone against me moving in the sandboxes (they're in the crowner)? If no one is against it, I'm just going to do it in a day or so.

Just need to clean Outside Context Villain. I got the A's, but taking a break for Mother's Day and whatnot.

So I'm chewing through the Outside-Context Villain wicks (just finished K). Some help would be nice, but that's not why I'm here. Since Outside-Context Problem, Outside-Genre Foe, and Technologically Advanced Foe all allow heroic examples, we're killing Outside-Context Hero and redirecting it to Outside-Context Problem, right?

Just want to check in before doing anything.

Yeah I am not a fan of Outside-Context Hero, that is written kinda funky. Its just basically the hero is stronger than the villains expected. From Super Prototype vs Mooks on down.

Nothing really Outside Context about it.

I would be fine renaming or cutting that one. Unique Protagonist Asset seems to cover almost all of that though with the exception of a literal Guest Star Hero from another series or whatever that joins the already existing cast and such.

Well, got it. Moved the wicks and everything. Even moved most of the examples, but you might want to peruse them to see if any bad ones jump out at you. I think I got the worst ones, but you know how it is.

Also, got L wicks of Outside-Context Villain.

FINISHED cleaning Outside-Context Villain.

I think that's everything. Is there anything else, or can we lock this thread?

Nope. We're good. Locking.
