Would it be worth making a entry for Beltorchika Irma, given that she only appears in the novelisation of CCA? I keep going back and forth on the idea given how much the novel gets referenced on the various CCA pages.

So no, \\\"we\\\" cannot just mention how \\\"lazy\\\" it is to use PlotArmor and that using it makes one a \\\"shitty author,\\\" as some things just might be necessary to actually make a good story. That accusation/judgement requires more analysis that what has been given withing the trope page.

More over, I feel that in recent times, more and more people are prone to invoking the name of this trope whenever they just don\\\'t like a character and want them to die, with increasingly flimsier justifications along the lines of \\\"I don\\\'t hate them, but this thing totally should have happened,\\\" being bandied about as some commonly accepted fact.


Any character that just happens to avoid dying, even in situations where people commonly do survive, can be labeled as having \\\"PlotArmor\\\" if the accuser squints, turns their head, and stops blinking often enough. And therein lies the problem.
