Added FATE in examples


This isn't a very popular trope for the actual titles of movies or TV shows, but it's an old standby for lazy fantasy and science fiction authors who need a name that sounds detached from the real world and yet is immediately understandable. For some reason, a very common verb for this is "stalk." The most common noun is probably "death."

* BuffyTheVampireSlayer
* {{Farscape}} appears to subvert this trope. The Peacekeepers are much more unnecessarily violent and cruel than peaceful, but the majority of them seem to believe they are doing what's right to protect the galaxy, even when they do more harm than good. In "The Peacekeeper Wars", it is revealed that [[spoiler: a group of the shared ancestors of Humans and Sebaceans were taken from their homeworld by Eidelons, a group of very powerful negotiators who can influence rationality in others, and used to keep the peace after negotiations finished. Once the Eidelons disappeared, the Peacekeepers kept peace the only way they could, "at the barrel of a gun"]], indicating that originally, at least, the trope was played pretty straight.

So, you're a Filmmaker. You're sitting down with a Scriptwriter between the the Water-cooler and the Coffee-maker, trying to decide on a name for your epic story about a guy who [[CalvinAndHobbes verbs nouns]]. Yeah, he verbs them till they're adjective. Wait, that's it! He's the ''Noun Verber!''
