8/10
If used well, it can make for a real Crowning Moment of Awesome or a really funny moment.

Just a simple man, making my way through the Tropes.7/10. When done properly, it can be a funny way to mess with the viewers. When done poorly, it can be annoying.
Villain Song Currently Reading: N/A
9/10, always a highlight of any musical they show up in, even the really shitty musicals.
The legend has returned.7/10. At least don't make the paranoia come across as annoying to the audience.
Villain Song Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
10/10: This trope is normally used to show how EVIL a villain can be, and you get a free banger with it too.
I prefer dubbed audio for works in foreign languages because they can translate meaning better.5/10 I laugh at these kinds of characters when the "gag" is done sparingly, but doing it too often can make it feel cruel.
7/10. A bit easy of a trope to do, but I find it weirdly charming.
British Humour Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
6.5/10. Sometimes it is great but other times I find it really dumb.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.

9.986/10. Oh, I adore this trope from top to bottom. I love being weirdly specific when it comes to my protagonists establishing goals they want to achieve, same with the villains, the Cloud Cuckoolanders… and even the Not So Above It All folks of the world. Sometimes… you need to be the first man or woman to do Thr Shimmy on Shimera. Unironically.

Self-professed Wild Card who thinks cynicism isn't so bad.7/10 can be used as an explanation for why the people in the work are Apathetic Citizens, though one that no writer should treat as something to be embraced unironically.
"Give our Captain back, you jerks!"8/10, sometimes a demeanor shift or facial change is all you need but damn if I don't love a badass or sexy villain costume.
The legend has returned.9/10. Can be a huge Tear Jerker. It only doesn't get a 10 because of those few cases where the speech goes on for so long that it starts to become Narmy. (They're dying, but still have the energy to ramble on for 10 minutes?) Of course, even those can make for effective parodies.

I find it deeply unsettling. Just looks wrong.
Blowing a Raspberry

I suppose, by the transitive property, I too must be "Vulcan as a Motherfucker."[1]6/10 Not my kind of humor, plus I used to be on the receiving end of raspberries from a classmate when I was a child.
I never watched My Hero Academia, but his Death Battle with Mahito made me like him.2/10. One additional point because I'm Straight Edge, but I hate it when people try to force others to conform to their beliefs.
Rock Opera Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
5/10, mostly because I have never heard one of those before to gauge how good or bad it is.
The legend has returned.Also a 5/10. It can be interesting/funny depending on the character and what the job is. Like, if everything goes wrong, it could be pretty entertaining. I personally like it when the get fired at the end, especially after all they've been through.
Gallows Humor Well if it isn't my favorite human ..!
Literally Any Score Other Than 5/10: I am a fucked-up sadistic writer. This has long been made clear by now. I am a fan of fucking with people. And I have a fucked-up sense of humor. And sometimes, the characters are on death's row, or just know how utterly fucked they are… and just roll with it. I'm one of THOSE writers.
Gonna give this an 8.3/10. Feels like a fitting score.
Bait-and-Switch Self-professed Wild Card who thinks cynicism isn't so bad.
9/10, this is one of my favorite types of comedy, there is something comedic about going in one direction and subverting what you expected.
"Give our Captain back, you jerks!"6,5/10: Very basic trope overall, but it also means that it's never going away. I bet there are some frustating uses of it, but overall, I can't complain.
'd
7/10: Works well enough.
Where It All Began?
Personally revisiting an early-game area for a final time, after you've progressed as a player, is a good experience. I don't even mind the more practical side of it (having to make less game areas and save time and money).

Oo oo ah ah

7/10. It can be an interesting approach, but sometimes it's better to just let magic be magic.
