Come on. Who wrote this nonsensical part about Mexico being more developed than Spain?

I agree with you Mottmatt. Therefore, I removed the whole statement.
Captain of the Dead City
I don't know when this entry was written, but Warhammer 40,000 is pretty consistently more popular than Warhammer Fantasy, even in the UK. Especially so now, given the outcomes of the End Times event. So, that entry needs to be updated probs.
"...in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
How come no one mentions "Family Matters" being a more popular spin-off of "Perfect Strangers"? I know both shows were on the same Friday night line up, but Family Matters became a pop-cultural phenomenon thanks to Steve Urkel. It's the 2nd longest running sitcom featuring a black family in TV history.
I really question the YMMV-ness of this trope. How "subjective" is it, for example, to call The Amazing Spider-Man more popular than Amazing Fantasy? Spidey's book has run nearly continuously for 47 years with over 500 issues, compared to AF's combined total of about 5 years with just a couple dozen issues. Spidey is widely present in Western pop culture, while AF is relatively obscure.
Similarly, how is the Buffy series not objectively more popular than the movie? The movie flopped and went nowhere, while the series lasted 7 years, got Un-Cancelled, & has a fanbase most of whom didn't even know there was a movie.
I mean, sure, All in the Family vs. The Jeffersons is subjective, based largely on local culture & syndication, but that just seems like a reason to remove it from the page rather than relabel the objective examples as YMMV.

I agree with you. Popularity is something that can be objectively measured. Just because 90% of tropers have Fan Myopia doesn't mean it is YMMV.
Spider-Man isn't really a "spinoff" of Amazing Fantasy. We don't call all examples of "hero debuts in a compilation comic and proves successful enough to get his own comic" a "spinoff."
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.

Removed this:
- This is also true for most anime or manga series which began as visual novels or H games. In a few rare cases, a romance game has been fan translated not long after the anime/manga spinoff is translated. Da Capo is a rare instance where the original H game was professionally translated, but the anime spinoff was only known through fansubs.
...because it's talking about adaptations. It was posted under the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha example (which is an example)
Now Bloggier than ever before!
I believe Sabrina the Teenage Witch would count since it has more adaptations than both Josie and the Pussycats and the Archie series they spun off from.
