Ask the Tropers:
open About the Bolivian Army Ending trope.
The laconic says it is about characters facing impossible odds at the end. First of all, it is rather vague and blurred. The result is that there are such examples like, for instance, a group of characters looking at a hurricane (cue the end of the movie, though actually I'd say it is not impossible odds, as the characters are not alone somewhere in the desert and can try to drive away). Isn't it weird to call a hurricane an "army"? Then, there are such examples when a dying character faces two or three enemies and it is implied that he actually defeats them. Anyway, three people - is that enough to call them an "army"? There are many examples like this (one of them is about facing a single humanoid monster at the end). I'd say this is not what comes to mind when you think about what is a Bolivian Army Ending, at least for me. What do you think, people?

While going through and cleaning up Narm from non-YMMV work subpages (characters, right now), I spotted the following two pages:
As you can guess by the names, they cover the same information, with the latter having info on other characters, meaning one of them is redundant. The question is, which one should be kept and which should be cut?
