Basic Trope: Panthers are thrown in the media to make things cooler.
- Straight:
- A panther is shown as an edgy, fierce, and awesome beast with an edgy name like 'Slash'.
- Bob is an edgelord with a cool attitude and owns a fierce panther he rides around.
- The villain is an evil panther with an edgy attitude.
- Exaggerated:
- Panthers are literally everywhere in the film to make it way too awesome.
- Bob has a whole army of panthers.
- Downplayed: Apart from a slightly edgy personality, the panther is just a panther.
- Justified:
- Bob just likes Panthers that much.
- Panthers are really common species in the universe Bob lives in.
- Inverted: Bob's panther acts way too friendly and behaves like an overgrown puppy and is never aggressive when mad.
- Subverted: At first, people get excited to see a new panther at the zoo, but that was a black dog resmebling a panther and everyone gets dissapointed and leaves.
- Double Subverted: ... only for the zoo to replace it with an awesome and edgy panther.
- Parodied: The edgiest panther is seen in a world of Happy Rainbow Butterfly Pony Flowers to kill off all the 'girly' vibes.
- Zig Zagged: Some panthers are edgy and others are not.
- Averted:
- There are no panthers in the work.
- There is nothing note-worthy about how the panthers are in the film.
- Enforced:
- The writer wants everything to be cooler so they put panthers to do this.
- The writer loves panthers so much that they want to include it in their film.
- Lampshaded: "That panther is such an edgelord."
- Invoked: Bob tames up a panther in such an edgy way because Bob is super edgy himself.
- Exploited: Bob uses his panther army to defeat the Big Bad Wolf.
- Defied: Bob does not tame panthers at all.
- Discussed: "I know, he just is so cool and my idol.
- Conversed: "Why do cartoons put so much coolness and think adding panthers helps?"
- Implied: Alice tells Charlie and Daisy that her friend Bob has an animal sanctuary with elephants, tigers, giraffes, ostriches, zebras, penguins, and panthers, but none of the animals are seen on-screen.
- Deconstructed: As Bob goes to a big cat sanctuary and rides one of their panthers, the staff at the sanctuary yell at him for doing so.
- Reconstructed: But Bob apologizes and the sanctuary accepts it, and he still admires the panthers and sends a photo of them to his friends Alice, Charlie, and Daisy.
