Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

Complete Monster Cleanup Thread

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

[tup] legion phantom. His attempted body count is really high and the shows heinous standerd is kinda low due to most villains ouside of generals going after only one person at a time so he counts.

Here's the second and final of the fourze rewrites :

original : Rem Kannagi, the Big Bad of Movie War Megamax. His Goal is to to use the power of the Astro Switches and the Core Medals from the future to become an all powerful being known as the Super Galaxy King and will do absolutely anything to accomplish this, and taking a sick glee in rubbing his advantage in the faces of his enemies whenever he gets the chance. He essentially kills Gentaro's girlfriend, Nadeshiko for the SOLU she's composed of, and then rubs that fact in Gentaro's face. He also had no problem killing anyone that gets in his way without an ounce of remorse, or creating clones of all the Greeed and Sonozaki Dopants for his own evil purposes. He gets his in the end though, after being Double Rider Kicked by Fourze Double Rocket States and OOO Super TaToBa Combo, sending him into the path of his own shuttle that runs him over.

He was added to drafts so that acw can do the rest.

You know both kannagi and prospect are both part of the same organisation (Foundation x which are antagonists across multiple series) and count but are just generals. Unfortunately there boss Neon Ulsland does not count as she has a very hands off approach and does not get involved unless it requires to the point of only being in 2 episodes. So yeah The great leader of shocker is a better bet as he is more active and the main antagonist in the original series, kamen rider black and faiz so his villainy is more onscreen.

Catching up:

  • [tup] Fanfic!Palpatine
  • [tup] Cobb. And for those wondering (like myself) why iron, I found the book online:
    The uprights were iron and he had read that the Devil feared iron for it signified earth. That’s why people hung iron horseshoes over their doorways. Iron was a basic element of earth and an enemy of demons and the discarnate.
  • I WANT to [tup] Incognito, but I'm a bit worried as to how he compares in heinousness to the Major and Blitz. Dude's certainly got the evil look down though. Look at him!
  • [tup] Legion Phantom.

Also, if anyone wants another look over this week's batch before it's submitted, here you go.

He doesn't need to compare to the Major. the 2001 Hellsing anime has no relation to the manga. It went on its own way

The major and zorin don't exist in that anime as it cut before they were introduced so no problem. But which sucks because I like the major.

[tup] Legion Phantom.

Also,

Write up

  • Hellsing anime: Incognito is a sadomasochistic vampire who describes himself as living only for "total destruction". Working for his unseen boss, Incognito oversees the creation of the FREAK chip, which turns people into violent, unstable vampires. Incognito has been allowing those implanted with it to run amok and kill as they please. When the British airforce come to investigate his castle, Incognito infects them with his chip, stripping them of their humanity and turning them into his unquestioning soldiers. Knowing a pacifistic vampire is monitoring his activities, Incognito attacks and devours the peaceful woman, cackling at her death. Summoning a demon to destroy London, Incognito smiles with glee as it wreaks havoc on all in its path.

@ACW I think I'm just going to refer to it as "Hellsing anime" since that seems to be the more well-known name. Also, given the length of his write up, there should be enough potholes in as I put it.
