For the “Frog Costume” video (Cyberchase) on Trauma Button Ending, add "Psycho" Strings as a trope (the strings are played when a scary-looking frog shows up.)

On Fist of the North Star, for the video "Nishii Shinku Ha - (EP 02)" (example of Arrow Catch), please add the secondary tropes:

  • Catch and Return: Kenshiro catches the bolt between two fingers, and send it right back at the enemy.
  • Eye Scream: After warning said enemy that he'll lose an eye if he misses, Kenshiro throws back the bolt exactly through the pupil of his right eye.

Thanks in advance.

Please make the following edits:

  • Add the secondary trope Disintegrator Ray to the "Lucky Shot" video from the You Have Failed Me page. In the video, Commander Kruge kills one of his subordinates with a ray that leaves nothing behind.
  • Add the secondary trope Dodgeball Is Hell to the "Megamind's Backstory" video from the Then Let Me Be Evil page. In the video, the other children all throw dodgeballs at Megamind, despite that not being the point of the game.
  • Add the secondary trope Killing Your Alternate Self to the "An Animation Revolution" video from the Take That! page. In the video, Harry Partridge punches out his alternate self who is animated with the GoAnimate program.
  • Add the secondary trope Rapid Hair Growth to the "Dr. Facilier" video from the Establishing Character Moment page. In the video, Dr. Facilier's baldness cure makes the wealthy gentleman's hair grow a little too fast for his liking.
  • Add the secondary trope Secret Room to the "The League of Evil" video from the Forgot to Feed the Monster page. In the video, Mr. Burns reveals a room hidden behind his bookshelves.
  • Add the secondary trope The Swarm to the "Eaten by Scarabs" video from the Eaten Alive page. In the video, a man is devoured by a swarm of scarabs.
  • Add the secondary trope Symbolically Broken Object to the "Robert De Niro's Monster" video from the Frankenstein's Monster page. In the video, Frankenstein's monster destroys Dr. Frankenstein's notebook to express his hatred of Dr. Frankenstein.
  • Add the following secondary tropes to the "Maraka" video from the Fake Interactivity page:
    • Ambiguous Gender: Maraka shows a picture and asks "Can you tell me if this person's a girl or a guy?" Then she replies "You're right!" to the audience. Her guess is as good as yours.
    • Disappeared Dad: Maraka asks "Do you know why my father left me?" in a comically cheerful tone. Then she replies "Bueno!" to the audience.
    • Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Maraka asks whether Mittens truly has free will since his beliefs aren't under his direct control.

The most recent video on WesternAnimation.Sinbad Legend Of The Seven Seas, "Eris" (Our Gods Are Different) is just a slightly shorter and also lower-quality cut of the oldest one, "Eris, the Goddess of Discord" (Perpetually Protean). I'd like to ask if they could be merged, ideally with the longer/older one staying as the displayed video.

On Big Trouble in Little China, for the video "Goodbye, Mr. Burton." (example of Catch and Return), please add Bookshelf Dominoes as secondary trope.

  • At the end of the video, after the Big Bad is killed, his fall causes the knockdown of two rows of Buddha statues all around the room.

On Knights of the Old Republic, for the video "Carth and Canderous" (example of Soldier vs. Warrior), please remove Catch and Return from the secondary tropes list.

  • There is no instance of Catch and Return in the whole video, except maybe with words being turned against the one uttering it (the "I bet you tell yourself that every night so you can sleep." part), but then it's not this trope, more of an example of Dialogue Reversal.

Three character pages for Warcraft have video examples as media sources.

1. "Gilneas" under Überwald and Our Werewolves Are Different from Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has Warcraft The Alliance Gilneas as a media source.

2. Two different videos named "Kaldorei", both under The Fair Folk, one from Warcraft III (Which leads to Video Game/Warcraft) and the other from World of Warcraft, have Warcraft The Alliance Darnassus as a media source.

3. "Illidan Stormrage" under Screw Destiny from World of Warcraft has Warcraft: Illidan and Followers as a media source.

Please remove the disambiguation VideoGame.Five Nights At Freddys as a media source from the videos "Five Nights at Freddy's" (Westminster Chimes), "criminal criminal criminal" (Madness Mantra), "The Completion Ending" (Kill It with Fire) and "Springlock Failure" (Cruel and Unusual Death). All videos already have other, more specific sources.

Please also remove Film.Jurassic Park as a source from the Decoy Hiding Place video "Chasing a Reflection", and replace it with Film.Jurassic Park 1993 for the videos "Mr. DNA" (Mr. Exposition) and "Jurassic Park" (Asshole Victim).

"Port by the Sea" in Vomit Indiscretion Shot should have Giant's Droplet, Human's Shower since the giant sea monster's vomit is naturally huge (it's powerful enough to send a ship flying).

"THIS. CANNOT. CONTINUE." in Madness Mantra should have Punctuated! For! Emphasis!; the robots keep saying, "This. Cannot. Continue."

"Nine Reasons" on Back-to-Back Badasses and "Nightcrawler and Wolverine" on Teleport Spam (both from X-Men '97) seem to be the same video. Can they be merged please? (or one deleted and the trope added to secondary tropes.)

eta: likewise there are two separate videos entitled "X-Men '97" on Introductory Opening Credits and Title Sequence

Can you please change the primary tropes of some videos that I have uploaded?:

Both of the new tropes (which are currently listed as the videos' secondary tropes) fit better than their last tropes. Their current primary tropes only appear for a bit and would be more fitting as secondary tropes instead.

Please make the following edits:

  • Add the secondary trope Fantastic Aesop to the "Palace of Chocolate" video from the Gingerbread House page. In the video, the Indian prince learns that it's not a good idea to have a palace built out of chocolate, because it'll melt. However, building a palace out of chocolate isn't something anyone would do in real life.
  • Add the secondary trope No Listening Skills to the "Cyber Quicksand" video from the Quicksand Sucks page. In the video, Hacker refuses to let Buzz and Delete tell him that Inez and Creech are catching up to them.
  • Add the secondary trope Our Giants Are Bigger to the "The Big, Mean Giant" video from the "Where? Where?" page. In the video, Max and Emmy encounter a giant who lives in a giant house.
  • Add the secondary trope Rain of Something Unusual to the "It's Raining Cookies" video from the Song Parody page. In the video, Elmo and Cookie Monster both imagine that it's raining cookies and sing a song about it.
  • Add the secondary trope Speak in Unison to the "The Parallinis" video from the Rhyming Names page. In the video, the Parallinis say "We're all related!" at the same time.
  • Add the secondary trope Surprise Jump to the "My friends call me Mickey" video from the Elephants Are Scared of Mice page. In the video, the elephant is so surprised that she jumps out of the frame. (And, if you can think of another trope that explains why the elephant has human legs for a split second, add that too. Maybe Wild Take?)
  • Add the following secondary tropes to the "Fred's Dad" video from the The Stinger page:
    • Underwear of Power: The wall is lined with superhero outfits belonging to Fred's dad, including many pairs of underwear.
    • Finish Dialogue in Unison: Fred's dad starts describing how he wears his Underwear of Power: "I wear 'em front. I wear 'em back." Then Fred joins in: "I go inside out. Then I go front and back."note 
  • Add the following secondary tropes to the "Mark Beaks - Hashtag YOLO" video from the Social Media Before Reason page:
    • Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: In the video, Dewey takes Mark Beaks' phone just to post the childish insult "My face looks like a butt" as Mark Beaks.
    • Fireman's Safety Net: Mark Beaks survives his fall because he lands on a trampoline.

I have two suggestions regarding video examples:

  • The first one is that I think "Luigi's Mansion - Fake Doors" should have Real Fake Door as one of it's secondary tropes, since the door that Luigi opens otherwise leads straight into a wall.

  • The second is that I think that "You're Not My Mom!" should be moved to Inopportune Impersonation Failure, because from what I understand, Spot the Imposter usually involves Spotting the Thread while the character is still both in disguise and in character, whereas Inopportune Impersonation Failure usually involves the disguise itself failing, whether be it due to the person accidentally breaking character, or a malfunction within the costume itself, both of which are demonstrated in the clip, both when Constantine accidentally referenced his own childhood instead of Deb's, and when his disguise eventually started ripping.

The trope Roadkill for Dinner should be added as a secondary trope for the Lethal Chef “Squirrel” video example (Robotboy). The one who made the dinner, Donnie, reveals he found the squirrel on the street and that it was flat when he found it, confirming that the squirrel is roadkill.

On Guardians of the Galaxy:

  • For the video "Ohhhh... yeahhh..." (example of Shouting Shooter), please add Shoulder Teammate as a secondary trope. Rocket is riding on Groot's shoulder and using it as a firing platform against the Kyln's drones.

  • For the video "Dance off, bro!" (example of We Need a Distraction), please add Quizzical Tilt as a secondary trope. Gamora tilts her head in utter confusion upon seeing Star-Lord dancing before Ronan.

  • For the video "Drax vs Ronan" (example of Curb-Stomp Battle), please add Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight as a secondary trope. Drax attacks with a pair of knives while Ronan is unarmed, but never even touch him and is easily beaten up and disarmed.

Thanks in advance.

From the Monster High video example for Sick Episode, please add Power Incontinence, as Frankie being sick causes her neck bolts to go off and electrocute three people around her when she sneezes. Similarly, Operetta's Super-Scream goes off. Also add Super-Scream, Gale-Force Sound, and Glass-Shattering Sound.
