Corrected. Anything else that needs changing?

Harukaze and Ciabella, I see no grammatical errors but I don't understand "The actress presenting her..." You mean representing? Does the character wear pink and is she a princess?

Harukaze:

• A God Am I: He doesn't try to become a God, but he wants to rewrite the whole universe upside down and declare himself as "evil".
  • This example would not fit into the straight version of the trope. If his intention is to become the devil himself, it's Invoked. In which case:

• AGodAmI: He [[InvokedTrope invokes]] attaining godlike power as part of his plan to rewrite the world, after which he'd declare himself as the new world's "[[CardCarryingVillain evil]]".

The others:

• Chaos Is Evil: It's obvious enough he wants His end goal is to use the power of the Inverse Spirits' Inverse Forms to plunge the whole world into endless chaos and destruction.

• Would Be Rudeto Say Genocide: He constantly uses the word "rewrite" as the pretense for "cataclysm".

"They played us like a DAMN FIDDLE!" — Kazuhira Miller, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

@Ano Baka Desu:

Adding some words for Wescott's Evil Laugh trope.

"Depending on your interpretation, it also serves as Laughing Mad, considering he doesn't care about his life, as long his plan comes into fruition."

edited 18th Nov '14 3:16:53 PM by Harukaze

That's just wishful thinking. There shouldn't be an alternate interpretation to what we're presented with when Westcott does his Evil Laugh. He's just glad his experiment on Inverse Forms worked.

Maybe I should change the "Depending on your interpretation" to "It also doubles as".

• Never Heard That One Before:

** In Season 12's "Grounded" Elle's husband Jake notes, with some exhaustion, he has heard "Forget it Jake, it's Film/{{Chinatown}}" many times.


** Invoked by Tony in the same episode when he talks with Air Marshal Mike Beers and asks, after a tense introduction, should they grab "some [beers]." [[spoiler:The guy acts like it was the first time he heard it and raises Tony's concerns. Turns out he is an imposter who killed the real Mike Beers]].

I'm having trouble with making my editing examples look like examples, as well as the link thing.

To make links, say to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, use square brackets like so: [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Example]] and it will be viewed as Example

If you are lining a sub page, like a character's page, then you need that handle inside like this:

[[Characters/TheDresdenFilesTheChurch Example 2]]

Example 2

A quick one that usually puzzles me.

Do you say "a in-universe" OR "an in-universe"?

You use "an" in that situation. "A" precedes a consonant or a consonant sound. "An" precedes a vowel sound.

Adding Reused Character Design for each character folders.

Kurumi Tokisaki

• Reused Character Design: Her physical appearance based from Noire from Neptunia; both sport black pigtails and red eyes, with the former show this when using Astral Dress. In terms of personality, Kurumi taking many cues from Plutia/Iris Heart; both shares the similar personality: unpredictable and adopting nice girl personality while hiding their sadistic nature, only replacing the former's personality with Ax-Crazy.

Miku Izayoi

• Reused Character Design: Her appearance actually a redesign of Vert from Neptunia. Both of them are noticed for being the most curvy and busty of all female characters in their respective series.

Trope misuse. Don't shoehorn what I have deleted into another trope. First, it was Expy misuse (the description makes it clear you need authorial confirmation). Now, this.

And I am going to delete what you added in Evil Laugh because it's not contributing one iota to how the trope applies.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure if this counts or not. Some of my examples and descriptions feel long and possibly words and/or written bad. My grammar is okay, but I was hoping I could get some help maybe shortening some of the examples and making them clearer.

Now I understand very few of you have played this game, if you in fact have. So, I don't blame you if you misunderstand some of the descriptions right off the bat. I'd just really appreciate if you could take the time to look at it and tell me anything you notice wrong with it (like wordiness). I'd rather not point anything out right away, that way I can see whether it's a real issue or if I'm just being picky.

I wrote pretty much all of the examples, so have at it.

Dewster, I said to post edits that you would like to make on the wiki. You seem to be incapable of understanding this instruction. If you continue to display total incomprehension, you're going to get you ban elevated to permanent.

Creator Backlash

under Comics Books:

• Mark Millar went on a record to say he hates Trouble and considers it's his worst work. Might apply to The Unfunnies too, since his official website doesn't seem to acknowledge it's existence.

Take That!, Comic Books section, Marvel, right under Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men examples:

• And to make it full circle, All-New X-Men received a diss in one of Hickman's series, New Avengers - during his What the Hell, Hero? rant, Beast from the past tells his older counterpart exactly how stupid and petty bringing past versions of Original Five X-Men to the present (in other words, the entire premise of All-New X-Men), just to spite Cyclops, was.

X-Force, under Fourth Seris, under Wham Episode:

• Issues #11-12: Fantomex seduced Meme, knowing very well she is Hope and is underage, in order to copy Murituri virus from her. He turns on the rest of the team and makes it very clear to Hope how much he manipulated her, just to hurt her more.

Same page, same section: Moral Event Horizon: Fantomex crossed it by either killing ForgetMeNot or manipulating Hope in order to get more powerfull and then gloating in her face about it.
