History Tropers / Theweirdwarrior

I'm a Born-Again Christian who loves studying the re-occuring themes and elements (aka tropes) in the realm of fiction and entertainment.

I love movies and comics. Most of my edits on this site will relate to those two mediums (though there will always be the happy exceptions).

[[folder:Tropes I Hate]]
* AdultsAreUseless
* AllThereInTheManual: With the exception of excuse plots, I really see this as a weakness.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar
* HeWhoFightsMonsters
* HumansAreBastards
* ImprobableAge: This one is actually more iffy for me; a single child-prodigy doesn't really bother me. I mainly have a problem when this is done on too many characters in a single work.
* JokerImmunity
* KarmaHoudini
* ManicPixieDreamGirl
* MysteryMagnet
* NinetiesAntiHero: Heroes with flaws are well-rounded. Heroes composed of almost nothing but flaws are one-dimensional, boring, and impossible to care about...and yet some people seem convinced that such heroes are more realistic. Go figure.
* RapeAsComedy
* RapeIsLove
* ShaggySearchTechnique
* XanatosRoulette
* YouAreWhatYouHate
