Not Tropeworthy: Super Weight

Go To

To-do list:

  • Main.Super Weight was moved to JustForFun.Super Weight. Remove any wicks that misuse it as a trope since it's a game/joke and not a trope.
  • Adjusting the table formatting on the main page was suggested, due to technical issues related to getting it to display properly. Sandbox.Super Weight was made in case anyone wants to do it. This was simply an idea that came up and is not required for the thread to close, though; only dewicking is required.

    Original post 

Note: This thread was proposed by Twiddler.

It's in Main/, but seems more like a Just for Fun page (for ranking characters by power level), and is indexed on Just for Fun.

It is split into many subpages due to length, which are under the namespace SuperWeight/. There's also a Laconic subpage and a Haiku subpage.

I propose the main page (Super Weight) be moved to the Just for Fun namespace, as well as the example subpages, following the pattern: SuperWeight.Foo to JustForFun.Super Weight Foo

Complete list of suggested moves/renames:

Might be worth brainstorming suggestions now, then. Off the top of my head, Super Weight Classes might work, although I'm not 100% on it.

[tup]to making a JFF page. I'm not sure if it should go under a different name than JustForFun.Super Weight, though.

I don't see the need for a rename, nor for any discussion on a new name.

JFF. Don't think the subpages are important enough to need to be moved.

A thought... I presume that if the trope was moved to Just For Fun, it would be de-wicked as a trope entry. But if the scale is acknowledged in-universe, what trope would such listings be moved to?

Until next time...

[up] And again, also suggest moving the subpages in the way we did for JustForFun.Grand Unified Timeline

Meaning

SuperWeight.Comic Books to JustForFun.Super Weight Comic Books

[up]I did that and custom titled the subpages, and I migrated all the wicks for the subpages over. We just need to dewick the old location Main/ of the main Super Weight page; I'm guessing most wicks misuse it as a trope despite it being a game/joke, but valid wicks can probably just have the namespace adjusted.

So like, this entry on Agents of SHIELD Tropes S to Z:

  • Super Weight:
    • The whole point of the show is that all the leads are firmly Muggle Tier: Fitz-Simmons and Skye are Type 0, while Coulson, May, Ward, and later Triplett are Type 1 (on a sliding scale from -1 to 6). People occasionally shift around a little, though: Simmons briefly reaches Type 2 in "FZZT" when she's infected with the Chitauri virus, and the same thing happens to Ward and May in "The Well" after handling the berserker staff. Fitz, meanwhile, drops to Type -1 after suffering brain damage in "The Beginning of the End".
    • Averted as of "What They Become." Skye and Raina undergo Terrigenesis and become Inhumans, which puts them at rank 2+. Skye is revealed to be Daisy Johnson, known in the Marvel Universe as Quake. It starts a trend of a more varied weight scale as the rest of the season introduces more Inhumans. In the 3rd season, the Secret Warriors are formed to fight for SHIELD. Then, in season four, Ghost Rider appears.

Would this be removed entirely since it's being used as "trope"? Or would we just add the "Just for Fun" namespace at the start, but leave the actual entries alone?

[up]It would need to be removed from that page for not being a trope, but it could be transplanted to JustForFun.Super Weight Live Action TV if it's not already there.
