Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

Besides the fact that I'm not sure if Great Overseer is both games and AniManga or just one, is it worth mentioning that he's the father of Otto?

Ask on the Honkai impact forum thread. I'm sure since those are fans of it. They can tell whether he's in both or just one.

Is this a good quote for Lucifer from Supernatural?

So after talking with Lore, here's the final entry for Fritz. He suggested the Satanic Archetype pothole, so I removed the Rape, Pillage, and Burn one. Lighty, this work for you?

  • The first King of Eldia and the mythical Devil of All Earth, King Fritz, as shown in Chapter 122 "To You, 2,000 Years Ago", was a cruel tyrant who ran an empire on conquest, with countless slaves endlessly abused out of their very sense of self, many having tongues removed. When the young slave Ymir was accused of freeing pigs, the King tried to have her hunted for sport, whereupon she found the power of the Titan. Using her to exterminate and kill all in his path, the King raped her to produce children to inherit her power and upon her death, forced his daughters to eat her corpse raw, unleashing the new Titans on all his enemies to found an empire on genocide and blood.

For "Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" we have the goddess Ishtar.

She is a petty and vindictive goddess who has an undying envy and loathing for Freya, who has done nothing to her. To spite the latter, she has unleashed monsters unto the population of Orario and tried to frame Freya for it, sent her familia to kidnap people out of the dungeon, including the protagonist, Bell, to rape, both physically and mentally, into obedience, forces her familia into prostitution, including Haruhime, whom she bought off the slave market, and kept her enslaved, until she lost the will to live, and then at least twice tried to offer her up as a human sacrifice for a ritual that would destroy her very soul, just to give her familia a cheap power-up, to have them run rampant across Orario, in total war upon Freya's familia, and everyone else who got in her way.

She also has her familia kidnap people in the "pleasure district" and force them to the brothels as well, either as clients or "new members."

She turns a blind eye to Phryne's heinous acts, if not outright encourages them, where Phryne kidnaps any man she finds "tasty," to drag to a torture dungeon to pump full of terror and aphrodisiacs and then torture them until they're a broken bloody mess, unable to perform romantically, ever again, for the rest of their lives, purely to prop up the illusion that she's the most beautiful woman alive.

Phryne is also her enforcer, and is often given orders to beat dissident familia members half-to-death so they can't resist, and then dragged before her to be raped physically and mentally until they can never disobey ever again.

She so believes that all sex is love that she even rapes Hermes, when the messenger god brings her "The Killing Stone" that she was planning to use on Haruhime, and after using her said rape and Charm-Person powers on Hermes and learns about Bell, tries to rape him herself, just to spite Freya, and when he manages to fight off her charm abilities, has him stripped and forcefully reveals his stats and abilities, taking it as a personal affront that he can't be brainwashed.

Then, once Freya hears about it and retaliates, throws away her familia like cannon fodder to try and escape.

She has no redeeming features, and both the cast and the fanbase are glad to have her gone.

[up][up] I ain't talking about it until the actual game's complete. They only sold half that shit for full price and are withholding the rest for DLC. So I ain't talking about it until the actual game's complete.

[up]I may be exaggerating, but they deliberately left the game incomplete just to sell the rest as DLC. The game ends when Walker dies, setting up his hidden, shadowy bosses as the true villains.

[up] Yeah... and it was a crap decision back then (though that finale was fucking incredible, so I'm not complaining that much).

I miss the good old days when you bought a game and got the ENTIRE damn game.

Also, on topic, I HOPE to have that Halloween EP either this weekend or on Halloween itself; I plan on watching the movie this weekend.
