Star Wars 9 Film

The Way back machine won't let me go a little further to the old WMG page of Star wars 9.

Where should I add this trope? Film

Hi everyone!

I noticed that the trope If I Can Only Move heavily applies to a scene about 10 minutes into The Last Jedi; however, I'm not sure whether to add it to the page for The Last Jedi or if I should instead add it to the Resistance Starfighter Corps page, as this trope applies to one of the Corps' members (specifically Paige Tico, the one whose movement or lack thereof is pivotal). If someone could help me figure out which trope listing to tack this onto, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Excuse me, but can you restore Star Wars 9 please?

What's the policy for Creators with the same name? Film

I recently made a page for the movie Dave Made a Maze. I was going to make a Red Link for the director's name, until I realized he has the same name as the creator of Calvin and Hobbes.

Since the director doesn't have his own page yet, I just left the link out, but what would happen if someone did make a page for him? Would we have to move Bill Watterson to Bill Watterson (cartoonist) and name the director's page Bill Watterson (director)?

What Could Have Been for an actress Film

I remember reading on a page a What Could Have Been about an actress who was approached by either a famous artist or photographer when she was a young woman who thought she'd be the perfect muse and I believe wanted her to pose nude, but turned him down because she just thought he was a creepy old man. But I'll be darned if I can remember which actress it was.

Need a revert Film

On Rubber. kelly-away-from-home uncommented a bunch of ZCEs.

Film / Spider-Man: Far From Home Film

Need a revert. High Crate just cut most of the Film.Spider Man Far From Home page for speculative troping despite the fact that we're explicitly in the middle of discussing the examples on the project thread.

Speculative WMG? Film

Found this on WMG.Toy Story 4 which looks like complaining too...

Due to the idea of a fourth film after the conclusive third entry being met with confusion. The score could be around 60-80%.

• Perhaps it will... at 98%.
• Ugh, seriously? There are tons of movies people have questioned the existence of and are they all inferior? No.

Issues with YMMV page Film

Hello,

I created a film page for Little (2019) and yet the YM Mv page keeps saying it needs to be indexed. I though YMMV pages don't need indexing.

The Incredible Hulk 2008 Film

In the scene where Bruce exits the bathroom after retrieving the flash drive Betty asks him if he ate it to which he replies , “No, the situation required some improvisation”. I believe this to mean he had to safeguard it in his rectum. Is that correct?

A Knight's Tale finale editing Film

There's an interesting bit of non-linear editing in the finale, presumably to allow for the narrative peak to hit right before credits roll even though it doesn't really make sense chronologically. Is there a name for shoehorning in a narrative beat at the ending with a last-minute flashforward?

1. William hits Adhemar.

2. Adhemar falls off horse.

3. FLASH FORWARD to the Huddle Shot. Adhemar gets his Ironic Echo comeuppance from the crew "found wanting etc". This would have had to actually occur after the credits started to roll.

4. FLASHBACK to the big hit.

5. Now that the antagonist has been slain, the rest of the payoffs occur. Dad hears his name. Sidekicks look on pleased, then run over. The BIG PDA with Jocelyn.

6. Credits

It seems like after the "big kiss", Adhemar's verbal comeuppance would be falling action, so they just anachronistically drop it in before the big kiss so they can end on the high note.

Rude troper complaining about Man of Steel Film

Troper Absolute Sword just made a nasty edit on Man of Steel that criticizes Superman and props up Goku, of all people, as a better hero. I get it, Man of Steel is controversial but TV Tropes is not an echo chamber that people can use to vocalize their opinions on something and not expect some sort of response. That edit was a disservice to the people who worked hard to maintain neutrality on a movie page. There is a time, a place and a way to voice those opinions but not here.

URSULA Film

isn't Ursula the name of the girl that was to George what Mary Jane was to Peter Parker?

Would this be an example of Audience-Alienating Premise? Film

I wanted to add this trope to the YMMV page for Dora and the Lost City of Gold. So far, all that's been released is the trailer. Here's what I want to add:

The movie is looking to be far darker than the source material, which would alienate preschoolers. Not helping is that the Dora franchise isn't really popular with kids anymore. On the other side of the coin, while the dark premise could interest older viewers (especially those who watched Dora in their childhood), the show is rather infamous amongst them and is remembered less fondly than say, Blue's Clues.

Is this okay to add?

Can you make a trope page of the film “Why Do Fools Fall in Love”? Film

Make a tearjerker page, ymmv page, and a nightmare fuel page for that movie too???

Can you do a Trope page of the film “Above The Rim”? Film

Do you know Tupac was in this movie, and he played the bad guy???

Heroic Talk Up Film

Okay, so I've done some searching and can't find a good answer for this: What sort of trope is it where someone gives a speech about how badass a hero is in an action movie? My apologies if it's been covered but I can't seem to find a reference.

Examples:

Christopher Walken talking about Denzel Washington's character in "Man on Fire" - "Creasy's art is death, and he's about to paint his masterpiece."

Viggo Tarasov in John Wick, "That fuckin' nobody... is John Wick..." pencils, etc.

Even the terribly written thing that Lee Ermey delivers in On Deadly Ground about Steven Segals supposed, uh... Italian Innuit? Fuck I don't know but it's in there.

A lot of other examples, and it does seem to be a staple of action movies. So much so that I'm feeling I've overlooked the thing but I can't find it here.

What say you?

(awesome site, by the way, I'm a writer and I continually reference your stuff for my own work, and refer you to others)

Adaptation Induced Plot Hole/Percy Jackson Film

There are so many of these in just two films that they deserve their own page. How do I do so?

Film.AvengersEndgame edit war Film

Hey, troper High Crate seems to be deleting any new tropes from Film.Avengers Endgame seemingly under the assumption listing any tropes in the trailers is Speculative Troping for a few days now. Not really sure if they're right or not, but either way, wouldn't it be better for the mods to either warn the troper or lock the page till release than have them doing something like this?

Old B&W nested stories movie? Film

I am trying to find the name so I can find access to a very old movie I saw at a arts theater in the early '90's consisting of a large number of nested stories (story within a story within a story within a story.) Not surprisingly, I can't describe the "plot." :-) But it was an old B&W film, probably European. It was a real mind-twister when they brought you back out at the end. Can anyone help? Marilyn

Characters Film

Do characters pages need to be formatted in any particular way? Characters.The Birth Of A Nation 1915 isn't formatted like any other characters page I've ever seen.

How to edit pages Film

So this is more a question on how this site works, im curious how do i connect my example to already existing tropes or media on this site. Ive only edited a few times, and only when i have really good examples. Everytime i do edit, i follow the rules and i copy the way other editors wrote their examples. But for some reason my examples are never connected to other tropes and media, can someone explain how it works.

YMMV.Space Jam (again) Film

Re: The previously discussed R. Kelly incident

The relevant entry was changed from the informative but neutral:

• The film’s incorporation of “I Believe I Can Fly” can be very harsh to viewers in 2019 who have seen the documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which alleges that he used the association the song had with the film to lure young girls to him so he could groom them for sexual abuse.

to the 'lynch-and-stone-the-bastard':

• It's near-impossible to enjoy “I Believe I Can Fly” guiltlessly now that R. Kelly is forever associated with his history of violent sexual abuse rather than his music. Made even worse by the fact the documentary Surviving R. Kelly indicated he used the song's association with the film as a means to lure in victims.

I abhor sexual abuse as much as anyone, but I believe in drawing a line between denouncing such acts and holding a court of public opinion.

Permission to revert the example and, since the problem persists, have the YMMV.Space Jam page locked?
