7/10. It’s been done a lot but it’s a solid concept from a visual standpoint.

5/10 Typically neutral to this trope, but it can also get frustrating when The Hero's goal is to fix the past, but their efforts are rendered useless.

5/10. It creates some interesting moral dynamics, but can easily make things too bleak if handled poorly.

9/10 It's awesome. I think Face Death with Dignity is better, but this trope is great too.

8/10. I love rain, and if it happens after a long dry spell, it has great symbolism.

5/10. It can be interesting plot-wise, but as someone who dislikes Permanently Missable Content in games, it can also be frustrating.

Becoming the Mask

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

6/10 Not that I hate it, but it's not a trope that I dig. I admit it can be used for interesting character development.

7/10. A good trope for family or children's entertainment, where it's a welcome alternative to Black-and-White Morality (which tends to be tiresome, especially if it involves Card Carrying Villains). Done especially well, the combination of genuinely likeable and morally upright heroes and a genuinely sympathetic and complex villain generates some juicy emotionally-compelling conflict. On the other hand, morally "white" heroes tend to be as boring as morally "black" villains, which can make the audience sympathize with the villain more than they do with the heroes.

3/10 I’m terribly empathetic so these types don’t appeal at all. Extra points knocked off for being a badly-defined trope used to armchair-diagnose villains.

7/10 Trope is slightly sexist, but still an interesting trope.

I felt that I see this quite often, but if it's executed well, then it's OK.

7/10 Nothing much to say about it, other than it just being odd for a cutesy show. And I love it for that reason.
