Note: This thread was proposed by FernandoLemon.

Koosh Bomb was launched in 2008, but only amassed 24 wicks. Normally, the solution would be to complete the crosswick, since there are a few on-page examples that haven't been crosswicked, but the issue with that is that every on-page example is a Zero-Context Example, much like what happened with Chain Reaction Destruction, another trope about "a type of explosion" that was taken to TRS due to a ZCE issue. The only salvageable example I've found is the pothole on YMMV.Blakes Seven S 1 E 11 Bounty.

So, in short: the trope is not thriving, and any wicks we could use are ZCE. Since the concept seems like a valid Animation Trope, I vote to cut and yard.

Paging ~FernandoLemon to the thread. Anyway, I agree with Yarding.

I already said to cut and yard in my OP, so that's all I really need to comment here.

Let me make a Koosh Bomb and have it explode in the bin that says "Cut and Yard."

Kirby is awesome.

May as well yard the broader Stock Cartoon Effects, which includes Circling Birdies, Stealth Hi/Bye leaving a cloud of smoke, Written Sound Effect, and "Manga Notation".

[up] I don't know what are you addressing, I'm talking about the Missing Supertrope only.

[up] If it's a missing supertrope, can't it be done individually of this thread?

[up]I'm assuming you mean independently and not individually, but yeah, this thread isn't relevant when it comes to whether to take that to TLP.

Feel free to TLP the supertrope, and if Koosh Bomb is de-troped, you can describe it too and provide examples on the draft.

Let's just waive the Three-Day Rule since this is a Not Thriving thread. (Yeah, tomorrow is the three-day mark, but eh.)
