Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
For future reference, questions like these should primarily be asked on Trope Finder
or the cleanup thread
. But no, I don't believe there is a trope to suit that example. Not only is it blatant misuse of They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character, but it was written to nitpick.
Please take this to Trope Finder if you're looking for something else this could be an example of.

On the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze YMMV page there is this:
I think this is worth mentioning on the YMMV page but it doesn't fall under They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character since this trope is about characters being underused rather than unproperly designed.
Is there a YMMV trope for disappointing reveals or something like that?
