the quote on What's a Henway? is way too long. if nobody has better ideas, it could at least be trimmed to the first punchline

Yeah, maybe cut to the "ligma" part, maybe even start earlier at the "what's nut season" bit.

Found this quote in Quotes.Overshadowed By Controversy. Is this quote just complaining?

... Only Konami, only Konami could have arguably the biggest release of the year, certainly among the hardcore crowd, and still manage to make the conversation be about how fucking shit they are. The talk of the Hideo Kojima fallout. The fucking microtransactions. The review boot camps, and now this. What is wrong with you, you bunch of incompetent fucking boobs?

Delete the "incompetent boobs" sentence, leave the rest.

OBC is all about when a piece of media or creator is more known for the controversies surrounding them than their actual quality or accomplishments. I myself have heard far more of Konami's failings as a business than their actual products.

Also the last sentence is complaining, but the rest of it lists actual controversies and points out how they overshadowed the game itself. And that is demonstrative of OBC.

Life Imitates Art's quote seems to be about art imitating life (science fiction authors inspired by real discoveries), not the other way around.

The quote for Evil Learns of Outside Context is a massive spoiler for Final Fantasy XIV.

[up] I would suggest pulling it, the only advice I can give is the new quote would have to find the balance between being relevant and not being a massive game-changing spoiler.

Suggestion here for Tornado Move.

The quote on No One Gets Left Behind interprets the trope name 100% literally. The trope is about two characters escaping from something, one falling or getting hurt, and the other coming back to help them.

Maybe this from the quotes page?

"We go out together, or we don't go out at all."

As do I, switch it and put the current on the quotes page.

Kafka Comedy's quote is nothing but "no good deed goes unpunished", which is actually the name of a diferent trope. Not to mention, it doesn't really convey that this is a comedic trope.

Possible alternative from the subpage (which I think is the only half-decent one):

"Now let's explore the improbable chain of events that led to this amusing yet tragic farce."
Ray Magini, The Simpsons, "Don't Fear The Roofer"

The page quote for Growing the Beard was added by frequent ban-evader Johnnyfog, is there anything from the quotes page that looks like a good substitute?
