Why is this considered a bad thing? Why is there an assumption that lighter things will have flat characters? That's silly.
I made this Idolized Julius Kingsley icon back when Akito first came out, and now that the crossover is actually happening, I don't care.
Okay, here's a challenge . . . come up with a Lighter and Softer version of the Cthulhu Mythos.

I find the God of War example highly dubious. Like it's less an actual example and more wank.

That is indeed misuse; I am somewhat familiar with Greek mythology and I would say they are on the same level in the darker myths.

Feel free. I'd recommend splitting the largest five folders or so into their own pages, but I don't think it yet needs more than that.
Edited by 146.90.230.46 That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Do you think we could say that it's 'AKA: Noble Bright'? Because Darker and Edgier is 'AKA: Grimdark', and Noble Bright is the counter to Grimdark. Noblebright comes from Brighthammer 40000, which is the hypothetical alternate universe of Warhammer 40k where everything goes right. The tagline for Brighthammer 40k is 'In the noble brightness of the far future, there is only...HIGH ADVENTURE!'

Jesus, trope decay much? This keeps getting links from works which are Lighter And Softer in general, or than expected of their genre, without being Lighter And Softer than anything in particular.
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."
Does it have to be kid friendly in the description? I always figured it just meant more idealistic and upbeat then kid friendly. For example while the subject matter in Treme is equally grim as the wire, it is far more idealistic, but it is not in any sense of the two words "kid-friendly".

I has a new example:

We need to have a different picture. Complaining about a game is one thing, but TV Tropes is not a platform to complain about a game that HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET.
The overall tone of the main page really comes across as with odds with message of "tropes are tools" as it's nearly all mocking (especially given the image used for trope) the trope or describing why it's bad or can go wrong without really going into it's more positive uses and how it can be done well which contrasts a lot with it's counter parts main page.
