General Page Quote Discussion:

Im for it. Plus the Schindlers List quote, while I love the film, doesnt make it clear that its set during the Holocaust.

Some proposals for Breathless Non Sequitur from the examples:

Any advice on how to trim my suggestion for a quote for Creator.Lateef Crowder?

I like the Invader Zim one.

That looks fine.

The quote for Cute Mute doesn’t illustrate anything. Should I just cut it?

I find the quote funny, but it doesn't make the "cute" part quite clear, except for the fact she's a baby.

The page quote for One More Day if from the author, saying "Peter and MJ didn't quit on their love, they sacrificed it to save a life, that to me is a pretty heroic story. But then, I'm an idiot." [sic] Someone saying that about himself, it sounds suspicious. Being the top quote of a controversial work, even more so. And if we search it in google, the only result is TV tropes, forum pages and wikis. It is likely that God Never Said That.

I'm all for removing it.

Bumping the current page quote for Legacy Immortality:

I mean, I get the legacy part, but not the immortality. I've never read the Phantom, but I bet it is an example of Legacy Immortality, but the quote doesn't really show that.

/ Yeah, both of those can be pulled.

Ok, pulled it and cited the forum.

Would this be suitable as a replacement for the Legacy Immortality quote?

Also I wanted to suggest the Homestar Runner quote from the Web Original folder for Wink "Ding!". What do you guys think?

Gopher it

The quote for Skippable Boss doesn’t give any indication that there’s a situation when the boss isn’t skipped (aside from being on the page).

It's also a duplicate of the quote on Involuntary Suicide Mechanism, and it probably works better there.

Anyone else have an opinion on the proposals for Breathless Non Sequitur?

I like the Invader Zim one.

for the Invader Zim quote.

The quote on Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy was recently changed from this:

"Ruined World + cast of Jerk = I don't care what happens to these guys"

— Demotivational Poster◊ with the Eight Deadly Words

to this:

The Season 5 finale of Game of Thrones, a body-count extravaganza even by the HBO series’ carnivorous standards, has boosted an unusual form of protest: sympathy for the ice zombies. Angry fans have taken to Twitter to declare that they are now rooting for #TeamWhiteWalkers, the undead army threatening to overrun the land and destroy humanity. The show’s world, Westeros, they say, is so horrible that it doesn’t deserve to survive, and besides, the White Walkers couldn’t be any worse than its current masters.

—Time Magazine

I think either quote is okay, but I'm mentioning it because the quote was changed without an edit reason.

Not sure about the new quote, but the former quote is definitely misleading since DIAA often gets misused as a citation-less Eight Deadly Words.

The other quote is more like Rooting for the Empire.

I'm not fond of either quote to be honest, but I found this on the quotes subpage:

There's a bunch of quotes, but I wanted to avoid one that targeted a single work.

Yes, thats way better than either the current or the previous

Both Red Baron and Red Plica Baron use the same quote:

It doesn't quite illustrate the former trope as well, since it's not literally about the Red Baron but a character who's so cool they don't need anything but a nickname. (I wonder how often those tropes get confused?)

The quote on Black Blood illustrates the name but not the trope. The trope isn't literally about black blood, it's about blood not being red in general, generally for censorship (or art style) reasons.
