This page has its fair share of issues.

  • The page has existed since 2007 but only has 14 wicks, meaning that it's starving on Wick.
  • The page attracts complaining about the quality of the impersonations.
  • Off-page, the trope has three examples of misuse. While numerically that's not many examples, for this trope that means 21% of examples are misused.

Not sure on what the best course of action would be, but a cut may be necessary.

I don't actually have any Bumblebee icons, I just think the nickname is funny.

What is this supposed to be? Where did the "launcher" pull this concept?

Cut.

See, from the name I thought the trope was going to be about breaking a time paradox by replacing someone with an impersonator. It was not that. Cut.

Oissu!

To be honest, I don't see how this is any kind of paradox.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

The page is from the Wild West days of the wiki were you could easily make a page on basically anything. Whoever came up with this probably had some vague concept in mind and threw together a quick write-up.

Anyways, cut. It's not tropeworthy and nothing of value popped up when I did a DuckDuckGo search.

And it's cut. Locking now.
