History Sandbox / TropePantheonsRework

** Most every dragon-related and/or dragon-hating god would team up to fight [[Manga/FairyTail Acnologia]] with the exception of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Grima]], even gods who are usually against each other. Fighting him is the only time [[LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD Issei Hyodo and Vali Lucifer]] would ever think of teaming up with [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough]] (who have both repeatedly attempted to kill the former two), and vice-versa.

* {{Foil}}: [[LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD Hyodo Issei]] and [[Anime/CrossAnge Embryo]]. The former is an unabashed pervert who would easily ogle any shapely women when given the chance and isn't all that respected outside of his large circle of friends, but those who do know him know that he's very reliable, honorable, is surprisingly respectful to women and [[BerserkButton reacts violently if any of them are harmed]]. The latter comes of as a classy, polite, and sophisticated gentleman who is the type of man most women would swoon over. However, he is a completely narcissistic who would rather have everyone women he comes across under his thumb [[spoiler:and is not above rape]].

** ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' also deserves a mention, even as the manga and anime were still ongoing, the characters have a lot of story prominence. Same principle applies with ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline''.
** [[MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena MOBA genre]] characters have taken more prominence than usual. It started with just ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' characters, but over time, ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'' characters also started to populate the Pantheon. From this reasoning, even original mythologies are able to bypass the rule of 'mythology Gods need to have a presentation within popular media' through ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}''. Existing Blizzard characters also started making mentions about ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm''.

* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Diamond Adventure! The Dark Mystery'', featuring the Mythical Pokémon Diancie in a journey [[spoiler:that [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] for many factions]].

** [[SelfDeprecation Several series gets quite a lot more attention in both profiles and stories]] either for interaction purposes, popularity, or just because of AuthorAppeal. Examples include: ''Franchise/StarWars, Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, Franchise/MyLittlePony, Franchise/DragonBall, Franchise/FateSeries, Franchise/FinalFantasy, Wiki/{{SCPFoundation}}, Pantheon/YuGiOh, Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica, Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium, Franchise/BlazBlue, Pantheon/DoctorWho, VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', are amongst the most represented franchises in the Pantheon in general. That does not even include the prominence some series that involve Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment or Creator/GenUrobuchi.

* NamesTheSame: So numerous that it apparently warranted [[NamesTheSame/TropePantheons its very own page.]]

* LivingToys: The cast of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' are this. Also, anyone who enters their world will become a toy, [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII as confirmed with Sora, Donald, and Goofy]], and implied with Ratchet and Clank.

->''We here at Wiki/TVTropes love to categorize things. {{Tropes}}, [[{{Series}} television shows]], [[{{Literature}} books]], and even people. So, we eventually got to thinking: What would things be like if the world were run entirely on tropes (which it [[RealLife very well could be]])? Who would be the Gods and Goddesses? Who would be their worshipers? Obviously, there can never be one singular deity to watch over everything... so we pooled our resources and tried to come up with as many ideas as possible. No initial payment required to enter... [[JustForFun it's all in good fun]].''

The TV Tropes Pantheon is one of the JustForFun features in Wiki/TVTropes. It began with something of assigning Gods and Goddesses of tropes, based on the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' pantheon system. As tropes grow, the Pantheon grew further and becomes something of an "Ultimate MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Fanfic" based on TV Tropes.

* NoEnding: Most likely, as the Pantheon will never cease to exist as long as Wiki/TVTropes and fiction exist... or until [[ScrewedByTheNetwork the Pantheon gets booted off the site]] but hopefully that would not happen in the foreseeable future.

* NoEnding: Most likely, as the Pantheon will never cease to exist as long as Wiki/TVTropes and fiction exist.

* FantasyPantheon: Taken UpToEleven. Many deities from both fictional and actual pantheons are present as well.

* SharedUniverse: [[UpToEleven Every universe is this in a sense]]. Universes that had crossovers interact more in the Pantheon. The Pantheon itself is a hub for those universe (deities can’t bring outside entities to their own universes for a reason).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Pantheon’s roster is increasing more each day, not even accounting for High Priests or Heralds.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Pantheon has gotten so big that listing the involved series (and real life people) runs the risk of breaking the page, prompting a split between them. It's also this very reason why a handful of sub-pages have been created, arranged by medium, to let people quickly know which characters have been picked. There has also been a spreadsheet with all gods listed along with their original series, placement, power level, and title. Not hyperbole, this is the largest fanwork ever conceived.

** ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' gets a lot of attention, all thanks to its diverse LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Balthier, Kira Yoshikage Jareth both resemble David Bowie. Justified for the latter, since Bowie played him in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. David Bowie is his own deity in the Pantheon, ironically.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Evangelion's Asuka. While she does have traits of her original and Rebuild self, it's portray as a form of multi personality disorder and will switch accordingly. She even has a third personality base on her Angelic Days self.

** Alia's widely-panned ExpositionFairy tendencies in ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX7 X7]]'' is a result of heightened emotion from Zero's second death in ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX5 X5]]'', her concern for X, and her old friend Gate turning Maverick.

** The My Palace/Thieves Den feature from ''Persona 5 Royal'' is the Phantom Thieves' actual temple, with the former name being a joke from Ren.

** The iconic canon characters of ''Franchise/DragonBall'' are essentially their original manga/''Super'' anime selves, with some bits of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' personality humor sprinkled in (or lots, in the case of [[Pantheon/ReasonsForDeath Nappa]]). That said, given how {{Filler}}, NonSerialMovie, and ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' characters do continue to impact both the franchise and the Pantheon, the canon characters who know of them do take on certain elements and powers from those extra-canonical materials, though they might achieve them a bit differently (such as Super Saiyan 4 and Super 17 from ''GT''). Transformations that deceased canon characters only take on in video games do exist, such as [[Pantheon/CharacterActions Raditz]], Nappa, and [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Bardock]] going [=SSJ3=], but are generally treated as being somewhat weaker than either the equivalents of those who actually got the forms in canon, or any advances made by characters who were non-canon to begin with, such as [[Cooler]][[labelnote:*]]Villainous Metal Cooler, Golden Cooler[[/labelnote]] and [[Legendary Broly]][[labelnote:*]]Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan 4, Broly God[[/labelnote]]. [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Paragus]] is an outright composite of his Movie 8/''Heroes'' and canon BR self, being largely the same person but with two different lifetimes. Broly, however, is an exception.
*** A lot of this is justified for several reasons which come from the franchise itself: the video games have officially established that the extra-canonical stuff comes from {{alternate timeline}}s, implying that certain abilities do exist and could be acquired by the main cast if that direction were willed to be taken. Also, the entire living cast of the main timeline got much stronger in ''Super'', with [[Pantheon/{{Power}} Son Goku]] and [[Pantheon/{{Pride}} Vegeta]]'s PhysicalGod status being only the lead example, so it would make no sense for characters who died and disappeared from canon without ever achieving Super Saiyan status to fully match the active equivalents of their video game buffs. ''Xenoverse'' Metal and Golden Cooler, meanwhile, are directly referenced as putting him on par with Golden Frieza, with the former case even fighting alongside his brother against the Saiyans on relatively equal terms.
** [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Artix von Krieger]] combines both his [[Videogame/AdventureQuest original]] and [[Videogame/AdventureQuestWorlds alternate]] personas in that he's both a Paladin of the High Order, [[spoiler:actually born as the Champion of Darkness and trained as an Undead Slayer]] but also has a fear of the color pink.

** The [[KingArthur Arthurian]] characters (Arturia and Lancelot) combine both aspects from the Nasuverse and the Creator/MontyPython verse. Arturia also combines from the ''Manga/SoulEater'' verse, recognizing the loony Excalibur.
