1. Bob is Addiction-Powered
2. Just Retraux, but the ad goes the extra mile
3. Be careful, it's one of those "degree" things you're playing with
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
Do we have tropes for these four situations?
1. Bob is a Badass... but only when he's high on sugar. Otherwise, he's a Nice Guy and embarrassed about being a Badass. Alice is a natural female Badass, in contrast to Bob.
2. An example of a 2018 Subaru stationwagon is designed to be a Retraux version of the 1998 Subaru Legacy stationwagon◊, but In-Universe it's passed off as a 1998 car, despite the fact people could tell it's Retraux.
3. A character in a new Arrowverse Spin-Off of The Flash (2014) is very similar to Nora West from The Flash (2014), except doesn't have these character traits: they're not Ambiguously Gay, with no Dark Secret, not a Dead Guy Junior, and less of a Naïve Newcomer. Where they're similar is that they're Adorkable, Mixed Ancestry and The Beautiful Elite. Not sure if this is Captain Ersatz or Expy or even Self-Plagiarism ?
4. In an episode of Dexter's Laboratory, a character, John, pops up in every situation, just to hang a lampshade on whatever the situation is, purely for the sake of comedy. It's more than a cameo role, though, and is plot-relevant.
Do we have tropes for these? (Sorry for the length of them... the bits were relevant!)
