Researches till the point of Trope Overdosed beyond which media cannot appear as anything other than a bunch of tropes from the creators
I think that's called "fiction".
Can you be more specific?
An older work introduces some sort of concept for the first time. Later works influenced by it use the concepts in their own ways, with some recycling. Basically a trope that describes the author drawing inspiration from various sources, and borrowing elements from them, rather than coming up with something totally new.
Star Wars concept of the Force was influenced by a lot of philosophies. The Matrix. Then Avada Kedavra from Harry potter I believe comes from an old biblical egyptian curse.
And just where did Tv Tropes get the ideas for names like Karmic Death, Laser-Guided Karma, Karma Houdini, etc... from — if you trace the history?
Its not religious related. Superman inspired lots of later superheroes. Borrowing ideas, elements, concepts...influences...

This is how fiction works, there is very rarely something truly new.

When you borrow elements and concepts from other, older works. For example all the karma related tropes are directly inspired by Bhagavad Gita and Hindu mythology philosophy? What is this called?
