I prefer the second a bit more personally. The second has him clearly cunning and planning while also showing his charisma and in a much shorter and snappier fashion. To me if a shorter quote can get it across much quicker, I prefer to use those. That said both are good in my opinion.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadConsidering this for Canon Foreigner:
The potholes should be fine right?

The current quote for Plot Armor seems like it'd be a better fit for Contractual Immortality. And vice versa.
- 11888: Of the quotes in the quotes page, I think The Simpsons one is probably the best, but this site isn't exactly lacking in pages with Simpsons quotes at the top, so it's probably worth going with something else for the sake of variety.

to switching the two quotes.

The potholes are fine. I don't get how the quote illustrates, though.
[1]
(MagnificentBastard.Avatar The Last Airbender)
second quote
[2]
[3]
(Reckless Gun Usage) I agree with switching to the kill.switch quote:
Mook 2: Um, I think so, why?
Mook 1: BECAUSE YOU'RE POINTING IT RIGHT AT ME! YOU IDIOT!
Mook 2: Oh! Sorry! I'll point it in the other direction!
Mook 1: Good decision...HEY, YOU'RE STILL POINTING IT AT ME!
[4]
(Creator.Alex Hirsch) I lean toward one of the first two.
[5]
(Monster.The Legend Of Zelda Fan Works) My vote goes to the current quote because it is more obviously referring to the actions of an individual.

Though speaking of Fan Games, two quote ideas here
. I like the first better; we'll just say "The Mysterious Bust Killer" instead of her real name (similar to Ace Attorney).
Current quote on People of Hair Color:
Does it really illustrate the trope?
![]()
I don't think it's very illustrative. I'd vote pull

If all else fails, use fire.I assume it's a subtle reference to the Aryan fixation on blonde hair or something, but it's wayyyy too vague and not related to the actual trope.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.In context
, Orson Welles was claiming that different nationalities always have certain physical traits and that it leads to strife, so if you extend that idea onto hair, I can see why someone thought that was a relevant quote. But it is kinda a stretch use it that way, since he was offering his own theories on why certain people don't like him rather than talking about how people use hair as a shorthand for ethnicity (and the full context is honestly kinda gross.)
Would this work better for Pet the Dog?
- "I don't get it Jake. How can the dude be evil if pets puppies, kissess babies and lies with his wife?"-Finn, Adventure Time
The quote on Fan of Underdog doesn't really show anyone "fan"-ning over the underdog. Neither of the alternatives on the subpage work for me. Any other suggestions? Cut?
EC Comics has to quotes:
I prefer the first one.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadSchool Bullying Is Harmless has this quote that seems more like it'd belong on Adults Are Useless than this trope. I feel like it's besides the point for a quote to complain about the trope.
I think we should replace it with this quote instead:
Dr. Crabblesnitch: Nonsense. That's just school spirit. High jinks. Why, in my day, we felt nothing of castrating the new boys.
I'm good with the Bust Killer quote for Monster.Fan Games, the first EC Comics quote (although the Downer Ending pothole will have to go), and
On Sexual Harassment and Rape Tropes:
This seems more like something that'd describe Blaming the Victim, not something describing these tropes. Should I go ahead and delete it?
Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!I've got two suggestions for the page quote of TearJerker.Hamilton
Which one do you guys prefer?
1.
Walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity...
They are going through the unimaginable.
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes

The first one
- "Like any sport, the Hunger Games produces immense bases from the common rabble who are dedicated to their favored district. And when it comes to 6, the last district without a Victor, 'dedicated' is a bit of an understatement. They call themselves the Sixatrons... Any criticism, any perceived slight of their tributes is met with protests, riots, vandalism, and criminal mischief."

The only (flimsy) reason that it’s suitable for the page is that it mentions rape. It doesn't describe these tropes in question.
I just went and cut it since I don’t think there’s really anything good to describe these tropes.

I like the first quote better. More emphasis on his plans and plotting.
