General Page Quote Discussion:

Yeah, sounds pretty good (and funny)

Delaying Action doesn't have a quote, may I add this?

Works for me.

The quote was changed for Ignored Aesop a couple days ago without any discussion or justification. Am I all good to restore the old quote?

The page quote for Depraved Kids' Show Host is not very demonstrative. It's way more Subverted Kids' Show and will mean nothing to anyone who doesn't know who Andi Peters is. I suggest a Krusty the Clown quote instead, like this one.

It violates the No Real Life rule for the trope anyways, so I think it's all good to change.

The quote on We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story appears to be complaining:

Is it? Should it be replaced?

It might not be complaining, but it tells us basically nothing about the film that the poster didn't convey (i.e., it's a weird movie about dinosaurs). The picture's caption seems like it would work fine as a page quote.

Am I allowed to move that without IP?

...That's a great question, and I have no idea. It's probably better to be safe than sorry, and ask there.

On the Bojack suggestion for Nice Character, Mean Actor, it might help to trim the bit about "Marv" (who isn't relevant, but without context it sounds like he's who she's introducing herself to), and start from "I went backstage..."

Princess Carolyn: I went backstage to introduce myself.
Bojack: And then what happened?
Princess Carolyn: You told me you were too tired from pretending to be nice all night, and I needed to leave you alone.

The page quote on Glory Hound has two problems:

1. Despite it being listed on all the usual quotes websites, I can find no evidence Napoleon ever said this. More than ten years ago, it was removed from Wikiquote for lacking a source, and has never been restored.
2. It's connection to the trope is rather tenuous. It's a quote about glory, not about people taking their personal quest for glory too far.

I don't have a replacement at hand, but the quote is so poor I would delete it even without a replacement.

Yeah just delete it. We can find another one in the meantime.

I’m OK with it on Trope Namers, and Hello! because it’s a JFF page, but this is the quote on all of the pages it links to, including bluelinks, and I have no idea why.

Because Running Gag, I guess? I don't know. Quote for I Am a Monster has quite a few blue links as well.

Is that quote even an example of I Am a Monster? Not seeing self-loathing here.

It was CWD by Yukianesa.

As someone who's never played the game and doesn't know what daemon, malak, or therions are, it doesn't really have much impact. I'm down with replacing it. These from the quotes page look pretty good:

Or the old quote?

As someone who loves the game, it's not even an example beyond the surface - in spirit it's a lot closer to Then Let Me Be Evil.

The old quote seems fine to me. Dunno why it was changed.

Who knows? Can just make it as it was again, unless you'd rather message them to come here and discuss it first.

Yeah, the old quote was good.

I closed the crowner. Looks like someone already updated the page quote for Translation Convention though.

Re Glory Hound: There's this quote from the subpage that seems decent:

I like that one.

8x Honestly, I feel like the Tekken quote better displays the self-loathing aspect than the original quote. I'm good with using that one if anyone else agrees.

Pride and Pride Before a Fall have the same quote. For obvious reasons, it definitely fits the latter better. For a replacement for the former, I think these three are the top candidates:

Thanks for taking care of the Glory Hound case.
