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.
Better places to ask which trope something in a work is an example of are the Is this an example?
thread and the Trope Talk forum
.
I asked Is this an example?
but was ignored.
I hesitate to take to Trope Talk as all the other forums regarding Strawman are long dormant or stalled.
Any other thoughts? I'm leaning to moving the Wish example back to Strawman as he was created to ultimately be in the wrong and ultimatly used what's criticized as Straw methods to make him in the wrong.
^ Ask again. Tv Tropes can get very busy and it’s easy to get tuned out, sometimes you gotta push a little.
It's 5 o' clock somewhere!

YMMV.Wish 2023
This was moved to Informed Wrongness as "Misuse. Magnifico is the main villain in the movie, not a Straw Character that solely exists to be wrong."
But my impression was as he was created to be the main villain he was made to ultimately be in the wrong (a lot of the movies contentions is how it had to resort to what's seen as last minute dive into full villainy to make him fully in the wrong). So is Strawman not the better fit?
If he was supposed to be more nuanced than a mere strawman, than is this really unintentional and instead Writer Cop Out?
