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 !!]] |
12 | * {{Grendel}} |
13 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Hey, Oscar Wylde- It's ''clobberin' time!'' |
14 | |
15 | [[AC:Edited Found Pics/Suggested Captions:]] |
16 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Cropped the two pics together, and my suggested caption was actually chosen. Yay! |

18 | |
19 | [[folder: Tropes that apply to {{ThisTroper}}:]] |
20 | * ActualPacifist |
21 | * AddictionDisplacement: My weapon of choice against my obsessive personality. |
22 | * AllWorkVsAllPlay: My wife and I, at times. |
23 | * ApologizesALot |
24 | * AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: To the point that I have yet to finish a single story. |
25 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny |
26 | * [[BrilliantButLazy Brilliant but la--]] |
27 | * ConversationalTroping |
28 | * HappilyMarried |
29 | * JadeColoredGlasses |
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. |
