@ Undercover When Alone

  • The Heroes Interquel webcomics feature a major plot about a Well-Intentioned Extremist using the alias Els Dropper trying to take down The Company with ruthless means. Evs is finally revealed to be Connie Logan, who is being aided by her daughter and field partner Penny. In their debut appearance, the two act like dutiful Company agents whose only concern and preoccupation is Penny's dating life. Word of God implies this is due to Writing by the Seat of Your Pants on the writer's behalf.
@ Villains Out Shopping
  • When Connie Logan, who turns out to be The Mole, is introduced in the Heroes Interquel webcomics, she's preoccupied with trying to get a hot date for her daughter rather than any Agent Provocateur sabotage or murder conspiracies.

@ Nobody

  • One-Scene Wonder: The Desert Storm veteran who has an Oh, Crap! moment when he recognizes Hutch's military tattoo is only onscreen for a couple minutes, but is quite memorable.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Some critics feel that Hutch's daughter could have made more scenes interaction with him and doesn't get to do much besides give him a motivation to pursue the burglars by discussing her missing bracelet.

@ ''Emperor (2020)

A 2020 Historical Fiction Antebellum America piece. Shields "Emperor" Green (Dayo Okeniyi) is an educated slave who goes on the run after killing a white overseer for abusing his son. Shields finds himself becoming a symbol for the African-American community, which leads to him accompanying the abolitionist John Brown on a risky raid meant to spark a slave revolt. MC Gainey, Mykelti Williamson, and Bruce Dern also appear.

Tropes:

  • Affably Evil: Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Lee is unfailing polite to Brown during their negotiations, offers Brown a chance to surrender without further violence, pats one of his soldiers on the back out of appreciation for a shot the soldier made, and says that as a soldier, it isn't his place to decide if slavery is right or wrong. However, he isn't really a Designated Villain either, as he kills Brown's companions without remorse and sounds like he agrees with Thomas Jefferson when saying that he heard the former president didn't view African-Americans as real people.
  • Bank Robbery: Shields hides in a wagon to escape from slave catchers only to discover it's the home and getaway vehicle of Rufus Kelly, who has just robbed a bank and is being chased by the local lawmen.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Truesdale seems like a kind-hearted Good Samaritan who is awed by Shields' heroism and wants to give him shelter for selfless reasons. However, he shows some smarminess and forcefulness when he makes his reluctant wife agree to hide Shields, and then it turns out he's planning to betray Shields for the bounty on his head.
  • Bounty Hunter: Luke McCabe hunts down anyone with a price on their head, whether they're white outlaws or escaped slaves. His first scene shows him lassoing an unnamed man who's running through a field, then shooting him while he's down and getting into a gunfight with the man's brothers when they try to take his body back. He's next seen negotiating a fee to kill Shields and crush the Living Legend surrounding him.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The bank robbery loot ends up being used to buy Tommy Green's freedom.
  • Divided We Fall:
    • Ruthless Bounty Hunter Luke McCabe gets into a standoff with two men over the body of his latest bounty, but regains the advantage because his would-be ambushers get distracted debating whether to give the body a proper burial or turn it in for the reward themselves.
    • Abolitionist leaders John Brown and Frederick Douglas can't agree on whether they should attack an armory to trigger a slave rebellion or merely help more slaves flee to non-slave states. Douglas disapproves of Brown's willingness to risk the lives of his men and sons and feels that as a white man, Brown isn't in as much danger and can't appreciate the risks. Brown feels drastic action is necessary even if it means being Inspirational Martyrs, goes ahead without Douglas, and fails (although his pro-slavery enemies only get a Pyrrhic Victory, as The American Civil War isn't far away).
  • Face–Heel Turn: Downplayed. A preacher gives Shields refuge and treats his wounds despite how he's obviously one of John Brown's men, but he does acknowledge that Shields in hiding in the church when McCabe and Grady show up and offer him a choice between part of the reward or getting killed if he resists them. Since they already know Shields is hiding there, the preacher's acquiesce doesn't mean too much and may not be too wholehearted, but he doesn't make a Heroic Sacrifice rather than aid the slave catchers either.
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: Shields is horrified when his wife is shot during his escape, but afterward, she's forgotten about entirely outside of a brief nightmare Shields has.
  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Shields and the slave in the swamp sneak past the slave catchers inside a hollow log that they push across the river like it's floating.
  • How We Got Here: The film begins with the raid on Harper's Ferry, prominently featuring Shields, then cuts back to months earlier, when Shields was still a slave.
  • Jumped at the Call: Heroic and villainous versions appear.
    • Shields volunteers for John Brown's near-suicidal raid on Harper's Ferry within hours, if not minutes, of meeting Brown and hearing his plan.
    • McCabe and Grady encounter several farmers going to help the Army put down the raid on Harper's Ferry.
  • Lives in a Van: A Western version. When a Posse shoots up bank robber Rufus Kelly's wagon, he complains that they're ruining his house.
  • Living Legend: Shields becomes hated and feared by pro-slavers and respected by slaves and anti-slavery guerrillas as a result of his actions on the run.
  • Loosely Based On A True Story: Shields Green, John Brown, and the raid on Harper's Ferry are all real, but Green's backstory is completely made up, Brown's raid kills more soldiers than in real life, and Green's survival and escape are fictional. This gets a Hand Wave In-Universe, with Green's son commenting the Civil War histories have all been written by white men who have a vested interest in inaccurate versions of what happened and that this is the story as his father told it to him.
  • Lovable Rogue: Rufus Little is proud of being a bank robber and doesn't hesitate to shoot Posse members who pursue him. However, he's also quite friendly and one of the few non-racist white men in the movie. He's surprised to find Shields hiding in his getaway wagon, but he doesn't really mind, works with Shields to try to escape, and later thanks Shields for not just stealing the wagon, telling him to take half of the money if Rufus survives his wounds and all of it if he doesn't.
  • Made of Iron: Rufus wrestles with a pursuer and kicks him out of the wagon while suffering from an Agonizing Stomach Wound.
  • Papa Wolf: When Shields sees whip scars on his son's back, he beats the white overseer (a lynching offense in the time period), then shoots him and one of his men after a fight.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Plantation owner Randolph Stevens is a pitiless and venal man who has Shields whipped just to Make an Example of Them. However, he's only cruel when it won't cost him any money. After Shields escapes and becomes a symbol for the slave community and another slave owner suggests killing Shields' son in reveng to punish Shields, Stevens says "I've already lost one slave. I'm not destroying any more of my property." Later, after being offered four times a slave's value, he sells the boy to someone who plans to free him.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: When Lt. Colonel Lee and his men put down John Brown's Rebellion, Shields flees on horseback rather than join the other remaining raiders in a doomed effort to fall back to the catacombs.
  • Sympathetic Slave Owner: Mostly averted, but Shields' first owner, Duvane Henderson, comes across as a flawed Upper-Class Twit, but one who is far more humane than his peers. He appreciates and listens to Shields' comments about the running of the plantation when Shields' new owner whips him for not acting subservient enough later in the movie, and Duvane' actions seem to go beyond Pragmatic Villainy. He respectfully tips his hat to Shields as he and his family leave their former home. He also lets Shields' son Tommy take books to read and listen to Duvane's children's nursery stories. Once Randolph wins Duvane's plantation in a card game, things rapidly go downhill for the slaves.
  • Tongue Trauma: The first person to help Shields is a slave who had his tongue cut out because of how talkative he was.
  • Villain Has a Point: Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Lee is a ruthless racist who has no qualms about putting down Brown's abolitionist rebellion, but he does validly point out that Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote "All men are created equal", was a slave owner who probably wasn't thinking of ''everyone's'' rights.

Emperor (2020)

  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • The mute, resourceful slave in the swamp who gives Shields information on the Underground Railroad is a fan favorite despite only being in one scene.
    • Rufus, the Young Gun Lovable Rogue bank robber who forms an Enemy Mine situation with Shields and is the only non-abolitionist white character in the movie to treat him like an equal is extremely well-liked, and some fans mourn how he only has about ten minutes of screen-time.

This is for Agent Ali character trope :

  • Alpha Bastard : Agent Sam has this shade as he consider the young agents as loser. Just like when he stop Aleks who attempt to fight with Rudy, Sam told to Aleks that he didn't want his teammate got "disease loser" from the young agents.
  • Cheaters Never Prosper : Due to her injuring Chris in first round, Agent Rizka receive a penalty of losing 10 points of her scores from Agent Leon.
  • Multicolored Hair: Agent Kim is the only agent with very odd color hair as she has blue hair with yellow and pink streak
  • Multinational Team : Sam's team consist of four Agents from different countries. Kim is from South Asia possibly South Korea, Riza is from Indonesia, Aleks and Sam are possibly from Europe.
  • Musical Assassin: Agent Kim's main weapon is Sonic Keytar.
  • Pet the Dog: While Rudy still not mellowed, at least he gives Ali some tiny encouragement to Ali to not giving up or underestimate himself about his ability as agent.
  • Younger Than They Look : Despite looking like much older than Ali and the other Academy Agents, they are still 14-16 years old. The youngest one are same ages with Roza and Zass.


This is for BoBoiBoy character tropes :

  • Irony: Gentar is hammy and overconfident like Fire/Blaze or Wind/Cyclone. But he is actually formed by two serious and calm Elemental Form like Thunderstorm and Quake while he still inherited some Thunderstorm's aggressiveness.
  • Made of Iron: Gentar is immune with any laser attack. It's because Gentar actually absorb its laser which causing trigger his electricity absorption power awaken. Gopal use this again by ordering Probe to shoot Gentar with huge scale of laser beam to strengthen Gentar.
  • Split-Personality Takeover:
    • When Boboiboy first time transform into Fire in Original Series for first time due to his stress during night and accidentally causing many fire accident in Rintis Island, he has no idea about what he do as Fire.
    • Then almost happens again when he become Tempest in season 2. Luckily, Kuputeri able to calmed him on time before Boboiboy fully being controlled by his elemental power for second time.
  • Unstable Powered Child: Although Boboiboy mostly stable and controllable, he still has a moment where his power actives against his will mainly because of his stress and desperation like how he unlocked Fire and Tempest for the first time.
  • Hot Paint Job: Blaze outfit consist of glowing flame motif on his jacket and short.

While I wait for the response to my last question, guess I'll keep going.

@ Cuphead

  • No Sympathy: In the ending for "The Delicious Last Course", Saltbaker is defeated and loses his bakery from the battle with the heroes. Cuphead comments it serves him right for his evil deeds as Saltbaker mourns his shop. Though the epilogue shows that Cuphead forgave him after Saltbaker put in the community service and properly atoned for his crimes.

@ "Battle for the Empire" recap in IDW Sonic.

  • Let No Crisis Go to Waste: After Starline, Surge, and Kit are defeated, Eggman reclaims control of his Eggpireal City. And, realizing Sonic, Tails, and Belle are still in the city, commands his Badnik horde to attack the three.

@ AsrulGuza

Agent Ali

  • Alpha Bastard : Agent Sam (superfluous words - cut) regards the young agents as losers, (comma) as demonstrated when he stops Aleks from fighting with Rudy, saying that he doesn't want Aleks to get "disease loser" from the young agents.
^ Saying "has this shade", in addition to not being correct English, is a Zero-Context Example, as it tells the reader nothing about what "this shade" is nor how it is used in the work. Even with context, it becomes Word Cruft of the "this is an example" variety. Also, I can't tell if "disease loser" is supposed to be written like that or you meant to type "loser disease" but got the words the wrong way round.

  • Cheaters Never Prosper : Due to her deliberately injuring Chris in the first round, Agent Rizka has 10 points deducted from her score by Agent Leon.
^ By definition, cheating involves deliberately sabotaging your opponents. The way you wrote it, Rizka could have injured Chris by accident.

  • Multicolored Hair: Agent Kim is the only Agent with very odd color hair as she has blue hair with yellow and pink streak. (period)
^ I can't tell if you mean she has one yellow and pink streak or several yellow and pink streaks in her hair.

  • Multinational Team : Sam's team consists of four Agents from different countries. Kim is from South Asia, (comma) possibly South Korea. (period) Riza is from Indonesia. (period) Aleks and Sam are possibly from Europe.

  • Musical Assassin: Agent Kim's main weapon is a Sonic Keytar.
^ Zero-Context Example. You need to explain how this "Sonic Keytar" is used as a weapon.

  • Pet the Dog: While Rudy has still not mellowed, at least he gives Ali some (superfluous word - cut) encouragement (superfluous word - cut) to not give up or underestimate (superfluous words - cut) his abilities as an agent.

  • Younger Than They Look : Despite looking (superfluous word - cut) much older than Ali and the other Academy Agents, they are still 14-16 years old. The youngest (superfluous word - cut) are the same age as Roza and Zass.

BoBoiBoy

  • Irony: Gentar is hammy and overconfident like Fire/Blaze or Wind/Cyclone. But he was actually formed by two serious and calm Elemental Forms like Thunderstorm and Quake, (comma) while (superfluous word - cut) still inheriting some of Thunderstorm's aggressiveness.

  • Made of Iron: Gentar is immune to any laser attack (remove period, superfluous word - cut) because he actually absorbs the energy from the laser, (comma) which (superfluous word - cut) triggers his electricity absorption power (superfluous word - cut). Gopal uses this again by ordering Probe to shoot Gentar with a massive laser beam to strengthen Gentar.

  • Split-Personality Takeover:

    • When Boboiboy (superfluous words - cut) transforms into Fire for the first time in the original series, (comma, move text) due to (superfluous word - cut) stress during the night and accidentally causes many fires (superfluous word - cut) in Rintis Island, he has no idea (superfluous word- cut) what he does as Fire.

    • He almost loses control of his powers again when he become Tempest in season 2. Luckily, Kuputeri is able to calm him (superfluous words - cut) before he is fully under the control of his elemental powers for a second time.
^ Saying "almost happens again" is a Zero-Context Example as it tells the reader nothing about what "almost happens again". I changed "happens" to "loses control of his powers".

  • Unstable Powered Child: Although Boboiboy is mostly stable and controllable, he still has a few moments where his power activates against his will, (comma) mainly because of his stress and desperation like how he unlocks Fire and Tempest for the first time.

  • Hot Paint Job: Blaze's outfit includes a glowing flame motif on his jacket and shorts.

  • Hello, [Insert Name Here]: While the main character can be named anything, their canon first name is Jordan.
  • Kill It with Fire: One of the executions is to be burned alive in the ship's incinerator. Siding with Beatrix and Nikolai gets Jordan killed while every other choice leads to Sora's death.

  • Clark Kent Outfit: Nikolas is one of the medics on the ship, but underneath the labcoat he is ripped with bulging muscles and six-pack abs. Yoshiki tends to wear a button-down shirt and suspenders, but when he works in the engineering room, he takes his shirt off and is revealed to have a six-pack.
  • Fun with Acronyms: Dai's name, D.A.I., means Destructive Artificial Intelligence. She prefers to spell it like Dai cause it rhymes with "die."
    Dai: There's nothing I enjoy more than a good play on words.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The password on Jordan's father's tablet... is "password." Even Ai lampshades that it's a weak password.
  • Russian Roulette: Vladimir can be killed this way from losing the Bidding Game in Chapter 2. Since there are no guns on the ship, Dai makes him pour vodka into vials and a drop of poison into one before putting them into a centrifuge to mix them up. The chambers are numbered, meaning he already knew which one the poisoned drink was, and swallows it, knowing it leads to his death.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Sora is always the first player to die regardless of the timeline you jump to.
  • Shout-Out:
    • In Day 1 when playing with Melody, you play with her dinosaurs and have this dialogue.
      Jordan: *ROAR* We dinosaurs shall rule over this land. It shall be named... Garden Land.
      Melody: That's a silly name. Let's call it something else.

For Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes:

  • Demoted to Extra: While several characters from Three Houses are AscendedExtras in this game, others are victims of this trope.

    • Gilbert/Gustave is the Sixth Ranger and Number Two of the Blue Lions in Three Houses and the Tritagonist of the Azure Moon route. He is also one of the Mutually Exclusive Party Members and The Mentor of Dimitri in Azure Moon. However, he is an NPC in Three Hopes and his role as The Mentor and Sixth Ranger of the Blue Lions is given to his comrade-in-arms Rodrigue (who is an NPC/Guest-Star Party Member in Three Houses). Also he is neither the army's second-in-command nor the Tritagonist of Azure Moon (sorry, Azure Gleam) in Three Hopes, due to Felix and Dedue being Dimitri's main retainers and the two Tritagonists of Azure Gleam instead.

    • Cyril is a background character during the first half of Three Houses, but becomes a supporting character during the second half of the Siver Snow route and is the Sixth Ranger of the Golden Deers in the Verdant Wind route. He's also a playable character in almost every routes. However, he's an NPC in Three Hopes and never joins the Golden Deers for plot related reasons (he's instead working with the aforementioned Blue Lions). His role as the team's Sixth Ranger is given to Shamir, his mentor.

    • Hanneman is one of the four teachers acting as the mentors of the playable characters in Three Houses. In said game, he becomes an Optional Party Member after clearing chapter 7 (which involves mopping the floor with his students) in every routes, despite being mostly affiliated with The Empire. Unfortunately he only joins The Empire in Three Hopes and isn't a playable character in the base game. While datamining implies that he might become a DLC character later on, it's still a downgrade compared to his role as a playable character from get-go in Three Houses.

    • Alois the first member of the Knights of Seiros introduced in both Three Houses and Three Hopes suffers from this as well. While he has more screen time in Three Hopes than in Three Houses, he is a playable character in the latter but only a boss in the former.
