Sandbox / Age Of Wicks

Go To

Age of Titles is potentially nothing but a Search-Generated Index with barely any context as listed here. The 2 sentence description isn't helping either.

Wicks checked: Due to only having 33 examples minus Sandbox.Title Tropes, ImageSource.Video Games A To L, and this wick check, of course, I'll check them all. 33/33.

  • Quick wick check results:
    • 21/33 or 62% are zero-context examples or examples with barely any context and potholes.
      • 3/21 have no context all.
    • 5/34 or 15% provide full context than just the work's name.
    • 7/34 or 21% are misuse and other unsorted examples.

  • Long analysis + final verdict: The examples mostly don't describe anything noteworthy or even have context beyond "this is the work's title," which is chairs. A few examples provide some fleshed-out context or add some significance to the trope, while the remaining 7 wicks are just indexes that don't define the trope, 1 aversion, and 1 possible misuse.

  • Solutions:
The only solution that isn't just a cut is merging it with its supertrope The X of Y.
    open/close all folders 
    ZCE/chairs & potholes — just the work's name or very little context (21/33) 
  1. AdaptationalHeroism.Marvel Universe: The 2011 storyline Age of X accomplished this for 90's X-Men baddies Frenzy and Unuscione, with particular emphasis on the former.

  20. VideoGame.Warhammer Online: "Age of Reckoning" is used as a subtitle.
  21. WesternAnimation.Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts: “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts“

    More context than just the work's name/noteworthy exaggerations/etc. (5/33) 
  1. Title Tropes: Things that are named "The Age of [noun]]", usually a significant impact to in-universe history. — Gives the trope a purpose
  2. Film.Avengers Age Of Ultron: The subtitle Age of Ultron (previously used in a Crisis Crossover). — At least explains where it came from
  3. Literature.The Age Of Desire: This story uses this trope in its name. Brought about on the idea that this drug could usher in a new age for mankind.
  4. TabletopGame.Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: The timeline for the game is split into various ages, beginning with the Age of Myth. The title for the game itself comes from the part of the timeline that the game takes place in, the Age of Sigmar, where the God-King Sigmar, his followers and allies begin their quest to free the Mortal Realms from Chaos.
  5. WesternAnimation.Storm Hawks: "Age of Heroes" — What's that?

    Other/unsorted (7/33) 
  1. Macross Missile Massacre: This trope is Older Than Steam — one proposed British tactic in the Age Of Sail was to hollow out an old ship, fill it with vertically launching rockets, tip it on its side at low tide, then light the fuse. — Refers to something other than a work's title so I guess that's misuse
  2. Naming Conventions: A title called "Age of X".
  3. The X of Y: Sub Tropes: Just listed there
  4. This Trope Is X: Just an index
  5. Time Title: Because an age is a vague length of time.
  6. VideoGame.Fall From Heaven: The Age of Ice scenario. — I don't know if this refers to a tile or not
  7. VideoGame.Game Of War Fire Age: Averted. This is the Fire Age, not the Age of Fire. — Aversions aren't noteworthy
