I created a franchise page for this series at: Tremors
Series-wide tropes shouldn't be lumped on the page for the first installment, spoiling newcomers on everything before they can even get to the film's tropes.

Pardon, but why did you make a Franchise page for a two-medium franchise?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
As I said, "Series-wide tropes shouldn't be lumped on the page for the first installment, spoiling newcomers on everything before they can even get to the film's tropes."
I didn't realize the limit was on "mediums", I just saw that there were six pages for the films, etc, and series-wide tropes were on the page for the first film.

Removed this:
- Disney Villain Death: Averted. The last Graboid at the end of the first movie falls to its death, but it's shown onscreen in all its orange, splattery glory.
I'm not convinced this is a noteworthy aversion. Disney Villain Death has a lot more to it then just "bad guy falls to his death." It's more a combination of Hoist by His Own Petard and Discretion Shot.
Isn't there also "Binomium ridiculus" at play? Since the graboid has the binomial of "Caedarus americana", and the second stage, the "Shrieker" is called "Caedarus mexicana", despite the fact it's just another stage of the species, and the "Ass-Blaster" (yes, it's actually called that) is "Caedarus mexicana combustus", that's confusing. Also, there's Spit Out a Shoe since a female landlord gets eaten by a Graboid which then spits her heels up.
