Um... analysis is really for tropes.

That's not always true, take a look at Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Star Wars also exists, and Minecraft (which, incidentally, only seems to describe gameplay). And probably a lot more.

Analysis is supposed to be reserved for tropes, in much the same way as Headscratchers is supposed to be for works. That doesn't stop people from creating the subpages and maundering about in them. Part of the reason we don't like Analysis for works is that they tend to wander off into complaints, arguments for or against some part of the fandom, and other useless stuff that properly belongs on the forums.

There's no cosmic rule saying that a useful and interesting Analysis page can't be made for a work but Sturgeon's Law applies.
