1 | '''Basic Trope''': A person (normally male) carries another (normally female) with one arm under their legs and the other supporting their back. |
2 | * '''Straight''': [[TheHero Alex]] carries his girlfriend, [[DamselInDistress Kayla]] after she is rendered unable to walk by an injury. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Alex has to carry around Kayla for half the damn movie. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''':Alex does it for a short amount of time. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Kayla is hurt, and there's no way Alex is going to leave her behind. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': EffortlessAmazonianLift |
7 | * '''Gender Inverted''': Kayla has to carry [[DistressedDude Alex]]. |
8 | * '''Subverted''': Kayla turns out to be able to walk just fine. |
9 | * '''Double Subverted''': But then she gets a TwistedAnkle, or she mentions she appreciates that position. |
10 | * '''Parodied''': |
11 | ** Alex [[FoeTossingCharge wades through a horde of enemies]] to rescue an unconscious Kayla. He picks her up and gets the hell out. She wakes up while still in his arms, and they look into each other's eyes soulfully. [[MoodWhiplash But what is that noise? An ice cream truck!]] [[ManChild He drops her on the pavement with a loud *thud* and runs over to the ice cream truck like a seven year old.]] |
12 | ** "Here Comes the Bride" plays as Alex carries Kayla. |
13 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Kayla is shot in the leg. Alex offers to carry her, but she [[WellExcuseMePrincess angrily declines]]. Later on, she does actually get carried around, but by an [[TouchOfTheMonster antagonist]]. Towards the ending, there's a part where she has to carry [[HoYay Alicia]] to safety. |
14 | * '''Averted''': |
15 | ** Kayla is never seriously injured or knocked out, of if she is, she is never carried as a result. |
16 | ** Alex carries Kayla [[OverTheShoulderCarry slung over his shoulder]], instead. |
17 | * '''Enforced''': Kayla is written as a "cute" DamselInDistress, and Alex is deliberately MrFanservice. It also fits in with his [[DeclarationOfProtection Modus Operandi]]. |
18 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, great..my ankle's busted. Listen, since you're TheHero and all, you probably wouldn't mind [[BridalCarry giving me a lift]]?" |
19 | * '''Invoked''': Kayla complains that her feet are sore and begs Alex repeatedly to carry her. |
20 | * '''Exploited''': Kayla discreetly shoots herself in the foot in the hopes of getting Alex to carry her later. |
21 | * '''Defied''': Kayla refuses to let Alex do this because she might get injured. |
22 | * '''Defied''': Kayla is a plucky ActionGirl who [[{{Determinator}} isn't going to let things like twisted ankles slow her down]]. |
23 | * '''Discussed''': "Hey, uh, Alex, you've been carrying Kayla for a mile, now. Your arms must be getting pretty tired. Do you want a hand?" |
24 | * '''Conversed''': "See the way Alex is carrying Kayla? You just ''know'' they're going to be together at the end." |
25 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Alex [[GrievousHarmWithABody just swings Kayla at whoever is attacking him]]. Needless to say, she's [[BerserkButton not happy, at ALL]] with the prospect of being used as ImprovisedWeapon. |
26 | * '''Played For Drama''': While Alex is busy carrying Kayla to safety, an [[{{Mooks}} enemy]] [[ScareChord suddenly]] jumps out from behind a nearby pillar and [[SlashedThroat slits Alex's throat]]. Since his hands were full holding the girl, he really didn't have any way of defending himself. As Alex [[TheHeroDies collapses and dies]], Kayla tumbles from his hands and the assailant [[KillTheCutie stabs her]]. |
27 | * '''Deconstructed''': This is not the best way to carry someone, and Kayla gets more injured. |
28 | * '''Reconstructed''': Kayla has a HealingFactor, and just needed to get out of danger so she could use it. |
