Favorite and least favorite tropes
Not including the ones I started. (WIP)
Mixed feelings
- Authority Sounds Deep / Baritone of Strength / Evil Sounds Deep: Deep voices are epic.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Emphasis on bad. IMO, this trope is one of the best ways to create a Hate Sink.
- Badass Cape: I say no to "NO CAPES!"
- The Dog Bites Back: This can be very satisfying. Specifically, I like the variant where the villain's minions turn against them.
- Elemental Powers: My favorite ones are water and ice, but those aren't the only ones I like:
- Evil Laugh: These are so fun to listen to, and even more fun to do.
- Gentle Giant: I love these types of characters.
- Heel–Face Turn / Mook–Face Turn: I love seeing bad guys turn good.
- Holy Pipe Organ / Ominous Pipe Organ: The king of instruments.
- If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: I love this philosophy. A lot of people use the specific example of Batman and The Joker to argue against this philosophy. Here's my argument: It's not Batman's responsibility to kill the Joker because Batman does not act as Judge, Jury, and Executioner, he just helps to capture criminals so they can be arrested. Gotham's law system should do a better job dealing with its supervillains instead of putting them in a Cardboard Prison over and over.
- Nostalgic Music Box / Ominous Music Box Tune: A very beautiful instrument.
- Panthera Awesome: Big cats are epic.
- Pear-Shaped Gentle Giant: PERFECT CHARACTER DESIGN.
- Robot Buddy: Who doesn't love robot friends?
- Save the Villain: I love it when heroes try to save the villain, even if the villain rejects their kindness.
- Self-Disposing Villain: It's cool when the villain is responsible for their own death or defeat.
- Wicked Pretentious: Shallow cultured-ness and evil go together really well.
- The Woobie: Awww.
Mixed feelings
- Asshole Victim: I generally don't like cheering for death, even when it happens to a fictional character. However, I might enjoy a fictional villain's death if their death is clearly their own fault. Like the hyenas turning against Scar because he directly manipulated and lied to them. Or Lord Shen choosing violence at the last minute, and then accidentally cutting the ropes that are keeping his cannon from falling and crushing him.
- On the other hand, while playing video games, I sometimes enjoy Video Game Cruelty Potential, so I'm not exactly perfect in this regard.
Dislike
NOTE: Please don't ask what my least favorite example of any of these tropes is. I just dislike them in general.
- Black Comedy Animal Cruelty
- Karma Houdini
- Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: I always find this trope cringeworthy. Does anyone really think the main characters are going to stay separate for good?
