Darth Wiki / Unlaconic Laconic Wiki

The Laconic Wiki is all well and good, but some of them are a bit too short. What they need is to be stuffed with filler and doused in flowery language, to the point where it all becomes a crufty mess.

(Imagine reducing a 1000x1000 pixel picture to 100x100, then expanding it to 1000x1000 again. That's the Unlaconic Laconic Wiki.)

• Darth Wiki: The dark, cold, foreboding cousin of our beloved encyclopedia of devices used in fiction, the Darth Wiki is a perversion of the virtues that its predecessor stands for, the darkness the lies in every troper's heart given the form of black-on-white lines of text. For some reason, the denizens of said encyclopedia treat this section as a source of endless amusement and laughter.
• So Bad, It's Good: When people drop praise and reverence for something that was made with good intentions with awful tools and incompetent artists who thought they were better than they were specifically because it was made so poorly.
• So Bad, It's Horrible: When a work of art or fiction is so mind-numbingly, stomach-spewingly, brain-shittingly awful in the production, writing, visuals and presentation that people could not even enjoy it ironically.
• So Cool, It's Awesome: When a work of art or fiction is so phenomenal in its writing, visuals and all around execution that it quickly develops fully organized and very obnoxiously loud fanbase capable of propping a franchise up on pure orgasmic positivity alone.
• So Okay, It's Average: When you watch a movie, read a comic book or binge a tv series that would have been a C+ or a B- if it were being graded by a substitute teacher. You saw it and you thought that it was no incompetently made or offensive to your morals, but left so small of an impact that you in no way feel invested enough to demand any more or less of it.
• Sugar Wiki: The light, warm, cuddly cousin of the already likable encyclopedia of devices used in fiction, the Sugar Wiki adds an extra dash of pastel colors and diabetic coma waiting to happen in an invasive, kudzu-like rainbow of positivity ready to invade the rest of the wiki and everything on it.
• Unlaconic Laconic Wiki: Building increasingly unlaconic versions of already existing laconic pages meant to be laconic pages for unlaconic pages.
