I literally just asked this in the Web Video thread.

I think it isn’t, for the record.

I mean, I think they do make jokes and stuff from time to time... but if that's not what we're discussing then...

Yeah, but this reminds me of other dicussions about, for example, how critics can't have pages just becuase they analyze movies unless they are transformative in some way. Like how the Nostalgia Critic does have a page because:

  1. He is a character.
  2. He makes tropable sketches.
Meanwhile, someone just analyzing the movie is just giving his opinion. And I don't think that Watch Mojo adds enough to their videos to make them any more than a list of other media that have their own pages.

I'd lean on no. Unlike the Books on Trope talk, I don't think Watchmojo is even invoking or analyzing the tropes mentioned.

Yeah, it really doesn't feel tropable to me.

To be clear, my post wasn't to imply that it's being transformative or anything — just that in theory some of the jokes they make could be troped in isolation. But that's probably not worth it.

I would also consider that they are not tropable.
