Line #3 PlayingWith/Mordor


1	'''Basic Trope''': A dark and deadly place full of evil and hard to travel in.
2	* '''Straight''': In [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Deathland]], everything is dark and deadly, making it extremely difficult to survive.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Deathland is so dangerous that people die instantaneously upon entry.
5	** Deathland is an EldritchLocation or a WorldOfChaos where RealityIsOutToLunch.
6	** [[CrapsackWorld Deathland is]] [[DeathWorld an entire planet]].
7	* '''Downplayed''': Deathland is a WretchedHive full of bitter, melancholic people, with a high crime rate and a small police force, not to mention the rampant pollution, but it's livable.
8	* '''Justified''': Deathland is ruled by an EvilOverlord.
9	* '''Inverted''': SugarBowl
10	* '''Subverted''':
11	** Deathland looks deadly but is actually not too hard to travel.
12	** Deathland turns out to have a fertile area which Baron Badguy uses to provide food for his soldiers.
13	* '''Double Subverted''':
14	** Only the ones living there are the ones you should look out.
15	** Upon closer inspection, the fertile area turns out to be a twisted GardenOfEvil with plants that have terrifying effects when consumed by any normal human beings.
16	* '''Parodied''':
17	** Everything in Deathland is decorated in black with skulls and other evil things to make it look evil.
18	** Nothing survives long in Deathland... Not even inanimate objects. The sheer evil nature of the place is able to kill mundane objects such as rocks, eventually killing the entirety of its own land and sky.
19	* '''Zig Zagged''': Deathland initially lives up to it's name, until it undergoes a HeelFaceTown and turns into a SugarBowl. [[HappyEndingOverride But it wasn't meant to last]]; an [[DiabolusExMachina asteroid]] turns the land back into [[DownerEnding wasteland, plunging it back into the era of eternal darkness from whence it came]].
20	* '''Averted''': Deathland is dangerous but only to the point where it's not too impossible to travel.
21	* '''Enforced''': "We need to make it clear that [[DarkLord Baron Badguy]] is not someone you want to have in charge. Make his realm a desolate wasteland!"
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "How does anyone last more than 5 minutes here?!"
23	* '''Invoked''': [[GaiasLament Deathland is all that remains]] of the [[GhibliHills once lush continent]], wrought by [[EvilOverlord Evulz's]] rampant, unchecked industrialization and constant warfare.
24	* '''Exploited''': Deathland is a pretty terrifying place to behold. Ergo, if Evulz builds his EvilLair in Deathland, he can live in peace.
25	* '''Defied''': ???
26	* '''Discussed''': "'Deathland'. What a name. Three guesses what that place is like. And the first two don't count."
27	* '''Conversed''':
28	---> '''Alice:''' "[[Film.TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing One does not simply walk into]] [[SubvertedCatchphrase Deathland.]]"\
29	'''Bob:''' "[[ExactWords Then I shall simply]] ''[[LoopholeAbuse fly]]'' [[ExactWords into Deathland]]."
30	----
31	Let's get walking to {{Mordor}}, shall we? Do mind the perpetually raining {{Flaming Meteor}}s on your way there, as well as the {{Bottomless Pit}}s, the lava geysers, and the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking pesky flies]].
