Go To

Basic Trope: Everyone shows admiration for the hero's accomplishments, especially their loved ones.

  • Straight: Bob has defeated Emperor Evulz and saves the world as a result. The citizens show their admiration for Bob, especially his critical parents, Al and Claire.
  • Exaggerated: Bob has save the world from Emperor Evulz' doomsday machine, and even kills Emperor Evulz. Every single being on the planet, even the animals and the plants, praise him for this feat. And it's not just his parents who are proud of him, but also those who always treat him with disrespect.
  • Downplayed:
    • Even though Bob has defeated Emperor Evulz, his parents do not thank him as much as everyone else does.
    • The audience knows Bob's parents are proud of him, but he doesn't get to see their response to his heroic deeds (at least not yet).
    • Bob's parents' approval is nonverbal, but clear nonetheless.
    • Bob's parents are proud of him for almost defeating Emperor Evulz.
  • Justified: Emperor Evulz has tormented Bob's parents and destroyed their home.

  • Subverted: At first, Bob's parents thanked him for defeating Emperor Evulz, they still regarded him as a shame to their reputation, and order him to leave their presence.
  • Double Subverted: ...only to tell him they were kidding and they're proud of him.
  • Parodied: Bob's parents say they’re almost proud of him for defeating Emperor Evulz, to which Bob excitedly states that's the most proud of him they’ve ever been.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bob's parents doesn't give him the approval he deserves and remains apathetic towards him.
  • Enforced: "What can end the movie on a high note? I know. Let's have Bob's friends and family show how proud they are of him for saving the day."
  • Lampshaded: "We're so proud of you."
  • Invoked: Bob has been wanting respect from others, so he figures that going out to defeat Emperor Evulz is one act that will gain him that respect.
  • Exploited: ???
