1 | '''Basic Trope''': A twist that's usually there in most other works of this genre/author/time period/series isn't there. |
2 | * '''Straight''': In the ''Tropeland'' series, anyone who joins TheTeam halfway through the plot is commonly revealed to be a ManipulativeBastard, so readers of ''Tropeland 6'' are shocked when someone joins halfway and never attempts to betray them. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Every entry in the series has [[MandatoryTwistEnding a twist ending]] except for ''Tropeland 6''. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Usually, anyone who joins halfway through is TheMole, but in ''Tropeland 6'' it's just a regular JerkAss who's using the team to get a better reputation. |
5 | * '''Justified''': TheTeam made a vow at the beginning of ''Tropeland 6'' to make sure they can trust their new member before letting them in. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': The series is famous for having a smoothly flowing story with no plot twists whatsoever... [[BreakingOldTrends except]] in ''Tropeland 6''. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': TheSixthRanger sticks around the whole way through, and it seems the twist has already been averted. Not only does he help them defeat the BigBad, but he sticks around for a while to slay the ManBehindTheMan... after which he reveals that he's been manipulating the team this entire time. |
8 | * '''Double Subverted''': The Sixth Ranger bursts out of a closet tied up and gagged and reveals that an imposter has been with them ever since the Big Bad went down. |
9 | * '''Parodied''': The series has a large cast, and only a small percentage of them try to betray the team. Yet whenever it's revealed that someone's motives aren't to manipulate the team, the narrator yells "WHAT A TWIST!" |
10 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
11 | * '''Averted''': It seems like the creator wants to break the mold, but they go along with the regular plot twist anyway. |
12 | * '''Enforced''': After telegraphing the twist too easily in ''Tropeland 5'', the creator is told to hold back on the mole subplot for the next installment. |
13 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Can we keep this guy? He's probably the only person we've met that hasn't turned on us." |
14 | * '''Invoked''': ??? |
15 | * '''Exploited''': After all of the betrayal Evulz has made the team endure, in ''Tropeland 6'' he just sits back and does nothing, enjoying the ensuing ParanoiaGambit. |
16 | * '''Defied''': "I've always added an ObviousJudas in my works and I will '''always''' add an Obvious Judas in my works. If you don't like it, [[TorchTheFranchiseAndRun I can always add some other twists that I swear you are definitely going to hate even more]]." |
17 | * '''Discussed''': ??? |
18 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
19 | * '''Implied''': Alice is kicked out of the group for an apparent betrayal, but it then turns out she never talked to the villains, so it seems unlikely she actually betrayed them. |
