Misused (alt names crowner Feb 9, 2020): Those Two Bad Guys

Yeah, newer and newer wicks just keep popping up. The math is simple: most people simply don't follow the Trope Repair Shop, nor actually look at the page; if there's a duo of villains in a work, they just add them as an example for Those Two Bad Guys.

Under 1200 wicks.

And down at 1100.

Ok to add Villainous Friendship to the disambig? This is actually the thing I've most commonly moved examples to if not outright deleting them.

Edit: found the best ZCE ever

• Those Two Bad Guys: Goes without explanation.

Sure, I'll add Villainous Friendship.

EDIT: I just run into almost exactly the same ZCE (on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle):

• Those Two Bad Guys: Goes without saying.

Below 1000 wicks.

Under 900. Planning on launching Bantering Baddie Buddies soon.

Clock expired; closing.

Thanks! There are two main things that need to be sorted out:

• There are over 600 wicks to clean.
• There are many subpages that need to be deleted after valid examples are moved to their respective relevant pages:
  • Sandbox.Those Two Bad Guys
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Anime And Manga
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Comic Books
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Animated Films
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Live Action Films
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Live Action TV
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Video Games
  • ThoseTwoBadGuys.Western Animation
  • Sandbox.Bantering Baddie Buddies

Here's the full list of subpages for Those Two Bad Guys.

New wicks keep popping up all the time; I guess a lot of tropers don't know about the disambiguation and assume Those Two Bad Guys is still a trope.

We could seriously use a disambiguation icon, like the YMMV or Flame Bait ones.

Below 600 wicks now.

In Characters.Nightfall, the two characters who are listed as Those Two Bad Guys are labelled as the "focused snarky one" and the "unfocused crazy one". Do you think that matches the Evil Duo dynamic?

That's light on context. I guess snarky and focused is Superego enough if you're generous.

Bumping for wick help. I knocked out a dozen or so wicks, 495 left.

It's not much but I got the wicks down to 463.

Cut a few more. We're at 450 now.

Got us down to 350

330.

And now only 300 to go.

Could someone explain what the purpose of Sandbox.Those Two Bad Guys is?

It's just the leftover contents of the original Those Two Bad Guys page. It's in a sandbox so that the examples can be sorted and distributed to applicable tropes.
