This thread is for tropers who have trouble with English and would like some help with the crazy grammar of this crazy language.

Write down what you wish to edit on the wiki. If you have been suspended from editing, another troper might be kind enough to edit for you after your suggestions have been corrected.

The thread is for help and feedback on your own suggested edits.

If you want help correcting other people's edits (e.g., if you find a page which seems to have grammar problems but want a second opinion, or you don't feel able to fix it by yourself) then that's off-topic here, but we have a separate Grammar Police cleanup thread that can provide assistance.

I'm back again for what I hope will just be another one-day return, and that hopefully won't be repeated quite as soon again.

@ Thanksgiving (2023)

  • Gaby (who some fans fondly describe as a Tatum Riley-esque character who gets to survive) and Yulia, the other girls in Jessica's group of friends, may not be too prominent, but are decently acted characters who make fans feel for them in several moments.

@ Northern Exposure

  • Man of the City: Maurice is the richest and most influential man in Cicely and is obsessed with bettering the town or at least preventing a downward spiral. While part of this is due to a desire to get rich by developing the area for tourists, and he sometimes throws his weight and influence around to get what he wants, he is genuinely attached to the town. He does a lot to help out his neighbors and once even gives a newcomer businessman a big discount on the space he wants to buy after seeing that the man has a large family whose presence will bring the population almost back to its old numbers after several people recently moved away.

@ Batman

  • Human-Yeti hybrid Snowman has only appeared in two canon comics to date, but is often called an intriguingly menacing but layered and underused ice-themed villain.

@ Walkabout:

  • Big Sister Instinct: The girl carries her kid brother to safety when their father starts shooting at them and later carries him several miles when he is too tired and thirsty to walk.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The mother is never shown reacting to the disappearance of her family or the eventual return of her children

@ When Zachary Beaver Came To Town

@ Boy's Life:

  • Big Bad Ensemble: The murderer, The Klan, and the redneck outlaw Blaylock family are all independent, prominent antagonists who threaten Cory and/or his friends and family across the year.
  • …But He Sounds Handsome:
    • Well before Dr. Lezander is revealed as a Nazi fugitive, he claims that he met a Nazi after the end of World War II and says the guy was just an ordinary man who deserved to be left alone after valiantly and understandably Just Following Orders during the war.
    • Some Five-Second Foreshadowing that Mr. Hargison is in The Klan comes when he objects to them being called cowardly over a cross-burning and says some people might call it a brave act.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Many of the Eccentric Townsfolk have their future prominence obviously telegraphed, but some who seem innocuous play notable roles in at least one later chapter.
    • Kindly Vet and church greeter Lezander operates on Cory's dog after it gets hurt and is the murderer from the opening chapter and a Nazi war criminal, along with his wife.
    • Mr. Hargison, the mailman who saves Cory and his friends from bullies, is part of the small but increasingly dangerous local cell of The Klan.
    • Lainie, a bitter prostitute who is present when Tom calls the sheriff to report the murder of the man in the lake, is the girlfriend of the late hot rodder Little Stevie and becomes the Protectorate of his frequently seen ghost.
    • Carl Bellwood, a Posthumous Character friend of Cory, returns as a ghost to give Cory's dead dog Rebel a new home.
    • Mr. Fixit Mr. Lightfoot only gets one speaking scene before disarming an atom bomb in the last act.
    • Fire Chief Mourchette is first seen hovering in the background during an early town meeting and gets one line snapping at Mr. Moultry's racist suggestion to abandon the black community during a flood. Much later, he is one of the only people to agree to be deputized when Donny Blaylock's family want to break him out of jail and replaces J.T. Amory as sheriff after he resigns.
  • I Own This Town: Moorwood Thaxter owns most of the big businesses and mortgages in town, and his word can dictate town policy. Moorwood hasn't been seen in public in years, though and his Crazy Sane son Vernon announces his wishes to the town, with Tom suspecting that Vernon frequently lies about whether his dad actually wants something done due to how much nicer and community-minded Moorwood's supposed orders have gotten in recent years.
  • The Meddling Kids Are Useless: Cory spends ten months gradually forming suspicions and looking for clues about a murder, but the same day he solves the case, two Nazi hunters who would have quickly found the killer without his help arrive in town and even end up helping save him from a likely He Knows Too Much fate, although Dr. Lezander briefly escapes and meets his end through other means.
  • Villain's Dying Grace:
    • The one thing that keeps Jerkass Klansman Mr. Moultry from being a pure Hate Sink is when he confesses about where a bomb he set in the Civil Rights Museum is when he thinks he is about to die (although he ends up surviving).
    • When the murderer and Cory are trapped in a sinking car, in the same lake where the killer, a fugitive concentration camp doctor, disposed of his victim in a sinking car, Mr. Hutchenson begs the dying killer to help Cory escape the car before it sinks, and the killer does so.

@ Boy's Life

  • Every moment the nebbish Nemo shows off his pitching arm is stunning, especially when his last ball never comes down.
  • Crazy Sane Vernon gets several reluctant townspeople to help out a flooded black neighborhood by delivering a threat from his father, their banker, that he is probably making up on the spot. He also turns out to be an Amateur Sleuth who makes several correct deductions about the traits the murderer must have that Cory later uses to identify the killer.
  • Creepy Child "The Demon" turns out to be a chemistry whiz who pranks a Sadist Teacher with her skills without even being in the room.

@ Boy's Life

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Mr. Fixit Mr. Lightfoot, Owen Cathcoate/The Candystick Kid (an alleged retired gunslinger who is quite formidable regardless of whether his stories are true), unexpectedly gifted pitcher Nemo, hell-raising escaped pet monkey Lucifer, and Greaser Delinquents ghost Little Stevie are all secondary characters with enormous presences in the fanbase.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
    • Nemo, the young pitching prodigy with a My Beloved Smother, only appears in about three scenes, when many fans wish he'd become a core member of Cory's group of friends.
    • Jack Marchette, the fire chief who leads the efforts to stop a major flood and later is one of the only people to volunteer to help the sheriff during a Showdown at High Noon, feels like a Flat Character despite his noticeable involvement in interesting things and the quirkiness of his neighbors.
  • Values Resonance: The Confederacy is casually glorified in the 1960s scenes in a way that 1991 Cory suspects had some tie-ins to casual racism, a point of view which became more prevalent in the 2010s and 20s.

@ Boy's Life

  • After Tom Mackenson calls 911 to report a murder after racing to the nearby brothel with a phone, Cory starts worrying that his dad cheats on his mother there. Tom then dryly says that he can see exactly what Cory is thinking, it's just a stop on his milk delivery run that Mrs. Mackenson knows all about.
  • When Reverend Blessett reads all kinds of sinful Subliminal Seduction into "I Get Around" and asks what Tom Mackenson thinks of that, Tom casually replies, "I'd say that if you heard all that in one listen, you must have ears like a hound dog. I couldn’t understand a single word of it."
  • Both times a church service gets disrupted (by a nest of wasps and a poop-throwing monkey, respectively), the abruptness with which they start with and the pandemonium they cause are comedic gold.

@ Master And Commander Far Side Of The World

  • Adaptation Displacement: Plucky Middie duo Calamy and Blakeney (and, to a lesser extent, assistant surgeon Higgins and sailing Master Allen) are all minor characters in the novel series who only have a handful of appearances between them but are seen as major parts of the franchise due to their role in this movie.

@ Token Good Cop

  • Johanna Mason: They Will Never See Me Cry: Iberio is the only notable District 7 Peacekeeper who isn't a totalitarian brute.
  • Beverly Hills Cop II: Captain Bogomil, Billy, and Taggart are the last LAPD investigators who haven't been replaced with political stooges by the new police chief.
  • First Blood: Sheriff Teasle and many of his prominent deputies are unnecessarily rough on Rambo after arresting him for vagrancy and/or during the manhunt after his escape, but Mitch and Lester seem professional and sympathetic while Shingleton and Balford are Punch Clock Villains.
  • The Sidney Lumet films Film/Serpico and Prince of the City both dramatize the true stories of a lone cop informing on massive corruption that surrounds him and being alienated from much of the force as a result (although the protagonist of the later film has been involved in plenty of corruption himself before getting tired of it and some of the targets of his investigation are more morally grey by 1970s and 80s standards).
  • Sleepy Hollow: Ichabod is the only cop in New York who uses scientific methods to investigate crimes fairly and logically rather than using brute force and superstition, which gets him Reassigned to Antarctica.
  • The semi-autobiographical Erich Kulka book Escape from Auschwitz characterizes Viktor Pestek as a rare guard at the death camp who sympathizes with the prisoners due to a combination of his religious beliefs, an Androcles' Lion moment in his past where people the Reich deemed subhuman spared his life after a battle, being mistreated by the other guards for being an ethnic German born outside the country, and eventually falling in love with a prisoner. He refuses to beat the prisoners and eventually progresses to helping several prisoners try to escape.
  • The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Back There," when a time traveler tries to warn the cops at a police station that President Lincoln is in danger, only one man takes him seriously enough to try to put extra security precautions around Lincoln.

@ Accidental Detectives

  • The last quarter of The Phantom Outlaw of Wolf Creek barely stops dishing out tearjerkers, from the painful Parting-Words Regret Sarah and Delilah have with their fathers to the kids being trapped in a tunnel where they think they’ll die and then learning that Joel (who they initially thought was safe elsewhere) had followed them down, to Delilah mourning her wasted life and how her only remaining friend, her dog, is sick and may die.
  • In Race for the Park Street Treasure, Mrs. Bugsby is forced to confront how her father exposed a family to toxic substances that blinded one of their children
  • In The Missing Map of Pirate’s Haven, Uncle Carl reveals that he lost his wife and son during a traumatic childbirth where his own carelessness kept him from being able to call an ambulance in time to save them.
  • In Madness at Moonshiner's Bay:
    • The Pickett brothers have spent decades resenting each other while Clem rotted in prison and Leroy dealt with the grief of arresting his little brother for a murder that each is wrongfully convinced the other committed.
    • Mr. Johnson, the supposed murder victim, is still alive but has been blackmailed into letting his entire family think he died (despite being unhappy with his nephew spending all those years in prison) with the threat of having all of his children killed otherwise. His eldest son Elmer acknowledges that growing up without a father has been hard on the family and contributed to their status as impoverished poachers.
  • In Sunrise at the Mayan Temple, Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold Mad Eddie, who constantly flies kites with Joel, dies in the epilogue, with Joel seeming to sense what will happen beforehand and leaving his beloved teddy bear with Eddie before Eddie dies.

@ Scooby-Doo Direct-to-Video Film Series

  • Villain in a White Suit: He wears a white business suit and is a Mean Boss who relishes the idea of getting Merlin to sell him the castle at a ridiculous loss when he could easily solve Merlin's problems by exposing the culprit, but his love for Mrs. Rumblebuns ultimately keeps him from being a pure villain.

@ Beverly Hills Cop Two

@ The King Nobody Wanted

  • Malora "The Mad Maid" Hightower is introduced by revealing that she is Obfuscating Insanity while conducting important meetings and being one of the shot callers for her house behind closed doors. She trash-talks Lord Tarly and his appointment as Hand, anticipates and denies a request to move the royal court to Highgarden, gives Garth Tyrell a What the Hell, Hero? rebuke for how his actions are prolonging the war and endangering the country, then pulls a Stealth Hi/Bye.

@ The King Nobody Wanted

  • Adaptational Jerkass: A Septon heavily implied to be the High Sparrow is a lot ruder to traveling, well-meaning knights than in canon and leaves a bunch of bags of grain he used for a speech platform to be eaten by animals when his book counterpart distinctly cares about there being food for hungry smallfolk.

@ Justice (DC Comics)

  • There's something (possibly unintentionally) hilarious about how some spectators call Priscilla Rich one of the biggest supporters of animal protection in the world while she is walking a pair of cheetahs on leashes and wearing enough fur to pass for Cruella De Vil.
  • Between forgetting that his phone cord can't stretch as far as he can, feeling jealous that he wasn't important enough to be attacked, and bickering with Plastic Man, Elongated Man is comic relief gold (at least until he gets one of the biggest awesome moments of the climax).
  • Tin, the Butt-Monkey of the Metal Men, is quite giddy about having the chance to brag about defeating Parasite, the villain who absorbed the powers of Superman and Captain Marvel. His chagrined teammates wonder how many years this gloating will go on for.

YMMV.The Worst Witch:

  • Fandom-Enraging Misconception: Accusing the series of being a "rip-off" of Harry Potter is not wise unless you want to anger fans. Especially since it is factually incorrect, as the series predates Harry Potter by 24 years (with the first book being released in 1974).

Trivia.Plane Crazy
  • Bury Your Art: Despite being the first short produced to feature Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Disney rarely acknowledges this short's existence outside of occasional nods, to the point that they consider Steamboat Willie — Mickey's third short — to be Mickey's official first appearance instead, even though Plane Crazy was technically produced first.note

Tropes Q to S

  • Serial Escalation: At first glance, the search for One Piece, the fabled treasure of the deceased Pirate King Gol D. Roger, seemed like an easy endeavor that any chivalrous pirate could undertake. Nonetheless, as the story unfolds, the stakes get higher, and the implications of discovering and seizing the mysterious One Piece and the title of Pirate King become more profound. It is apparent from the outset that the task is not as straightforward as it appears, as Mihawk himself implies to Luffy while they are in the East Blue.

Ice Magic Is Water

  • Trails Series: Certain water-based arts (like Icicle Edge) are able to turn into ice and even induce a freeze status effect on enemies.


Literature.My Happy Marriage

  • Perfectly Arranged Marriage: Initially, Miyo's family sent her away to be married to Kiyoka believing that he might kick her out after finding out she has no gift. To their surprise, the two soon form a close bond, with Miyo gaining more confidence in her self and Kiyoka opening up to her. (this is fixing a ZCE I found on the page)

And for its crosswick:

  • My Happy Marriage: Initially, Miyo's family, the Saimoris, sent her away to be married to Kiyoka Kudo (who is rumored to be a cruel man) believing that he might kick her out after finding out she has no supernatural abilities. To their surprise, the two soon form a close bond, with Miyo gaining more confidence in her self and Kiyoka opening up to her and turns to not be a bad person.


VideoGame.Another Code

  • Death by Adaptation: In the original Wii game, Ryan is alive but rendered emotionless due to the ANOTHER experiment. The remake, Ryan is revealed to be Dead All Along (also due to the ANOTHER experiments) and the one the player meets is a Living Memory version of him.


Characters.Trails Series Imperial Liberation Font

  • The Not-Love Interest: To Rufus. She tells him that he doesn't need to change himself to surpass his father figure Osborne and the two find solidarity with each other, culminating in Rufus helping her out her slump when conflicted with her identity. However, as Lapis has the appearance of a young girl and Rufus is in his 30s, their relationship is more akin to a father and daughter.

FandomEnragingMisconception.Anime And Manga:

  • Little Witch Academia: Shiny Chariot's Character Catchphrase is "A believing heart is your magic", not "Believe in yourself, that is your magic" or "It's your belief in yourself that makes up your magic". The former is the official English translation of the phrase — and is how her catchphrase is translated In-Universe, as it appears on a Chariot card in episode 23 — while the latter two are mistranslations by Netflix. Using the latter two instead of the former is a good way to irk fans.

YMMV.Disney Theme Parks:
  • Fandom-Enraging Misconception: Calling Magic Kingdom Park "Walt Disney World" will easily irk Disney Park fans. Walt Disney World is the name of the resort complex, not the theme park.

TheyChangedItNowItSucks.Disney Theme Parks:
  • Many fans despise Cinderella Castle's 2020 repainting, with the greatest criticism being the change from white to rose pink, which many felt looks ugly and unfitting for the castle. Some also see it as another case of Disney stripping away the Magic Kingdom's unique identity in favor of aping Disneyland Park and its features (in this case, Sleeping Beauty Castle), which has been a growing criticism by WDW fans since the 2000s.

For a page I am making:

Franchise.Wicked:

''So if you care to find me,
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately,
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
I'm defying gravity!
And you won't bring me down!
Bring me down!
Bring me down!"
—"Defying Gravity"

Wicked is a multi-media franchise created by Gregory Maguire, starting with his book of the same name based on L. Frank Baum's Land Of Oz franchise.

The franchise is about the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, and her unlikely bond with Galinda, later known as Glinda the Good. The two meet at Shiz University and, despite some early tension become close friends. However, though multiple tragic events and manipulation from the Wizard, Elphaba slowly turns into the iconic villain everyone knows from the original story.

The book spawned sequel novels, a hit Broadway musical, and a two-part film adaptation.


Works in the Wicked franchise include:

Literature Live-Action Films Theatre

For DracoInLeatherPants.Live Action TV:

  • Jane the Virgin: Rose is revealed to be a massive drug kingpin and regularly abuses her girlfriend Luisa in ways that range from gaslighting her to getting her locked in a mental hospital, but a lot of fans online massively downplay her negative qualities due her charisma and Bridget Regan's good looks. Most fanfics online play Rose and Luisa's relationship as a fairytale romance and erase the abuse entirely.

Any corrections?

Thanks Arivne.

For YMMV.Wicked Part One:

  • Les Yay: The trailer puts a lot of focus on Elphaba and Glinda's friendship which a lot of fans online took notice of. In particular, one scene has a shot of them sitting and Glinda resting her head on Elphaba's shoulder with the sun setting behind them which looks quite romantic out of context.

For Film.Wicked Part One:

  • Race Lift: Fiyero is referenced as having dark skin in the original novels hinting that he is a person of color, while the play had actors of all races and skin colors play him. In this film, Fiyero is played by the Caucasian Jonathan Bailey.

Any corrections?

YMMV.Sonic Studio

  • Awesome Art: The game is filled with utterly gorgeous pixel art courtesy of Lapper, which takes the already beautiful pixel art featured in Sonic Mania and ramps the detail up to Scenery Porn, showing what a Classic Sonic game could look like if it weren't bound to the limitations of the Genesis.
  • Older Than They Think: Mediatonic made an official Sonic level creator in collaboration with Sega back in 2009 as part of the short-lived PlaySega service, well before the creation of Sonic Studio. According to Lapper, the game was the inspiration behind Sonic Studio.

Officially Shortened Title:

  • Disney Theme Parks:
    • Walt Disney World is occasionally shortened to just "Disney World" (removing the "Walt") in some marketing for simplicity's sake. Coincidentally, "Disney World" was the intended name for the resort before Roy O. Disney added the "Walt" into the name late in the park's development In Memoriam of the late Walt Disney.
    • Epcot was originally named Epcot Center when it opened in 1982, but beginning in 1994, the park's name would be changed to Epcot '94, and then Epcot '95 in 1994, before Disney simply went with "Epcot" in 1996.

Okay I got some trope entries I'd like check for spelling and grammar errors.

Clone High

  • Arch-Enemy: Topher is this to Abe. Abe comes to despise Topher the most after learning that he only pretended to be his friend just so he could manipulate Abe to do humiliating things and get leverage to blackmail Abe to be his slave.
