Main Let S Get Dangerous Discussion
In this Film entry:
Mr. Miyagi in every single Karate Kid movie. Given, it's no longer surprising after the first movie, but it isn't until the end of the first film that he demonstrates he "still has it after all those years."
As I recall, in the first movie, Mr. Miyagi's main fight is when he rescues Daniel from the bullies, which occurs early in the movie, before teaching Daniel karate. So yes, it was a surprise, but it wasn't at the end. I added this to the main page and was told it was nattering and should be in discussion, so here it is. I'm not going to just change it; it's someone else's work. That person should change it.
Don't you think we need some elaboration on the Trope Namer? I'm having difficulty remembering any time Darkwing Duck actually pulled off this trope.
I'm having some serious trouble understanding how this is any different from Crouching Moron Hidden Badass. Any hints?
Okay, so apparently there's a disagreement here on the page image. Here's the current image that's being argued over:
Now, the issue here is, quite bluntly, this image by itself just does not show the trope in action. It would be good for, say, Playing With Fire, Breath Weapon, or some other page that dealt with fire, breathing fire, old men, or old men breathing fire. The problem is that it does not show this trope in action by itself. By itself, without context, all it shows is an old man breathing fire. It doesn't show the core point behind this trope: of an individual who was previously considered weak or ineffectual instead showing competence or unexpected power. Out of context, it doesn't make any sense and doesn't show this trope in action.
Part of this issue, I think, is the nature of the trope - its about a progression of action, of a character going from one state to another. To that end, I'd suggest that if the image was modified (say, to something similar to the current one for Took A Level In Badass) to actually show the trope in action, there wouldn't be an issue at all.

We could always combine it with this image.
I agree that the Avatar image does nothing to help us understand the trope quickly.
