to:
The tone is hardly a SugarBowl and the disparity between the lighter scenes and the \\\"boardroom scene\\\" while intense, isn\\\'t outside of the balance of light-hearted and scary scenes from films like \\\"Gremlins\\\" or \\\"The Goonies\\\" or \\\"Raiders of the Lost Ark\\\".
I presented this to Ask The Tropers. You can check it out here:

Unfortunately, the feedback wasn\\\'t especially definitive. But there was a comment made that there would be a benefit in having a trope that sits between KnightOfCerebus and VileVillainSaccharineShow to account for a \\\"villain who is significantly darker than the rest of the work.\\\"
So this is leaving me with the impression that because a new trope would be helpful to bridge these two tropes, then VileVillainSaccharineShow is truly focusing on the tone of the story being a SugarBowl world that has a villain that wildly clashes with that tone.
In other words, it\\\'s not just about the gap between villain and story tone but that the setting has to be in a predominately saccharine world as well.
Given that interpretation, the trope really doesn\\\'t apply to Shazam. The story balances light-hearted, goofy moments with darker themes and has a strong villain in Dr. Sivana. There is the \\\"boardroom scene\\\" which, while horrifying, isn\\\'t any worse than the \\\"face-melt\\\" or \\\"propeller scene\\\" in \\\"Raiders\\\".
As such I propose removing the trope example from the main page.
