Establishing Character Moment, exaggerated?
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
Is there a trope for the opening scene we see in many superhero shows, where a leader or narrator lists the characters' names and powers, and the characters get to show them off?
For example:
Boss: I brought you all together to finally defeat Captain Tropeman. Welcome... Alice, queen of ice (scene cuts to Alice freezing something), Bob, master of flames (Bob burns something up), Charlie, who has power over wind (Charlie makes a little tornado in his hand), etc.
