Line #33 Tropers/Frodobatmanvader


1	Frodobatmanvader is a full-fledged, life-ruined troper. A father of one, and a husband (also of one), I stumbled upon T Vtropes when I was poking around Google for Sci-Fi cliches and haven't been the same since. I am fond of [[{{Pothole}} potholes]], wish that I could have a TVtropes Dictionary (that would automatically update, of course), and wish that I could convert all of my friends and family to this site.

6	[[AC:Found Pictures For]]
7	I love finding images for tropes. You're always bound to see my participation in a dozen or so ImagePickin Conversations at any given time.
8	* [[Webcomic/AlienLovesPredator AlienLovesPredator]]: Right before I made this entry, in fact.
9	* CryonicsFailure: formerly "Popsicle Splat."
10	* CosmicHorrorStory: I feel it's my personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome, if I may be so bold.
11	* EternalEngine: Currently in the midst of this discussion here: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1309756588078260200&page=3 !!]]

14
15	[[AC:Edited Found Pics/Suggested Captions:]]

18
19	[[folder: Tropes that apply to {{ThisTroper}}:]]

30	* NinjaEditor: It's rare site to see a post I've made that doesn't feature the "edited on..." footnote.
31	* PickyEater: My whole life, I've had issues with the texture of most fruits. Yes, the whole food group.
32	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: More so verbally than textually.
33	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Graham crackers & milk! (tm)
34	* TheMovieBuff: A bit rusty since fatherhood happened; I confess that mostly I use ThisVeryWiki to keep up appearances.
35	* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: Guilty as charged.
36	[[/folder]]
37
38	[[folder: Pet Peeves]]
39	[[AC: {{PetPeeveTrope}}s]]
40	* RapeAsComedy: At least, when it's applied to women. Yeah, I know that's [[RapeIsOkWhenItsFemaleOnMale a double standard]]
41	* SacrificialLion: I love a good twist, but more often than not this trope is used as a [[ShockingSwerve twist for the sake of a twist]] rather than adding something to the story.
42
43	[[AC: Wiki Editing Pet Peeves]]
44	* '''X. Just...X''': [[BerserkButton Really!!?]] You actually [[FanMyopia think I automatically know what you're talking about]] based on the title alone!? You couldn't, I don't know, ''ELABORATE!?'' Grr.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder: My Obsession With Trilogies & Franchises]]
48	My favorite tales invariably tend to be in the form of epic, inter-connecting [[RuleOfThree trilogies]]. The important thing to me is that As a result, I tend to ''hate'' [[TwoPartTrilogy Two-Part Trilogies]] and TrilogyCreep.
49
50	[[AC: These ones you could guess from my handle:]]
51	* StarWars: The originals, thankyouverymuch. (Though as I've gotten older I've developed criticisms for [[ReturnOfTheJedi Jedi]].)
52	* TheLordOfTheRings: Perhaps, to me, the most important entry of all my favorited things.
53	* TheDarkKnightSaga: Grew up on Burton's {{Film/Batman}}, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how [[ChristopherNolan Nolan's]] saga is holding my attention.
54
55	[[AC: Others:]]
56	* BackToTheFuture: Perhaps the only time that a TwoPartTrilogy ''worked''.
57	* TheMatrix: JumpedTheShark way too fast; it had so much [[RuinedForever potential]]. Sob.
58	* TheBourneSeries: Tight pacing and storytelling.
59
60	[[AC: My "Unofficially Collected Trilogies"]][[labelnote:Γ]] This means that they're really separate works that [[DeathOfTheAuthor aren't meant to create an interconnected trilogy by their respective makers]], but I [[SpiritualSuccessor consider them as such anyway]], either due to complementary themes or other reasons.[[/labelnote]]
61	* [[YourMindMakesItReal ''Your Mind Makes It Real'' Trilogy]]: Distillation of PostCyberPunk, with {{Inception}}, DarkCity, and the first [[TheMatrix Matrix]]
62	* [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel ''80's Monsters are Better'' Trilogy]]: The [[TheBlob Blob]], [[TheFly Fly]], [[TheThing Thing]] 80's remakes.
63	* [[GothSpirals Stop-Motion Impressionism Trilogy]]: Made up of TheNightmareBeforeChristmas, CorpseBride, and {{Coraline}}. [[labelnote:∅]]JamesAndTheGiantPeach, though made by HenrySelick, just doesn't have the whole Gothic-related motif going on, so I discount it[[/labelnote]]
64	* More to add as I think of 'em.
65
66	[[AC: Other Non-Trilogy Franchises I like:]]
67	* {{Film/Alien}}: The first is psychological horror perfection, the second is deservedly one of the most influential action-suspense films of all time, the 3rd and 4th are incredibly flawed but still viable works of art. [[AlienVsPredator AVP]], however, doesn't exist [[FanDiscontinuity outside of comic books]].
68	* JamesBond: I was already a fan during the Brosnan years, but the [[CasinoRoyale re]][[QuantumOfSolace tool]] was a breath of fresh air I didn't know the series needed.
69	* More to add as I think of 'em.
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder: Music I Like]]
73	* ToriAmos
74	* {{Radiohead}}
75	* MassiveAttack
76	* [[DaftPunk The Tron: Legacy Soundtrack]]
77	* FlorenceAndTheMachine
