Ok, so why are mostly half the characters on the page labled \\\"anti-heroes\\\"? I can understand seeing that the story is played out through the Lagoon\\\'s perspective, but these guys are villians (except Rock and Benny...mabey). Thier protagonists yes but not heroes, that\\\'s where the trope Villian Protagonist comes in. They deal, steal, and kill without losing one night of sleep. To be an anti-hero you still have to be...well a hero. I will agree that Rock and especially Roberta more than anybody else in the series deserves that title. And Balalaika and Boris anti-villians? I believe the people are ignoring it\\\'s meaning for the sake of fan fare.

Since we define tropes as \\\"conventions and devices that the creator can reasonably assume the audience will be familiar with\\\", it\\\'s a long uphill slog to justify making a trope page for something that you can\\\'t find or remember any examples of. Three examples is considered the absolute minimum, and even that won\\\'t necessarily protect a page from being cut as \\\"is this really a trope?\\\"

The only ones that don\\\'t generally have examples are pages for tropes that are either OmnipresentTropes (they\\\'re literally everywhere -- the examples list would be exhaustingly long) which \\\'\\\'may\\\'\\\' have a list of Aversions (examples where the trope \\\'\\\'isn\\\'t used at all\\\'\\\'); those which got an ExampleSectionectomy because the examples list was acrimonious, bloated with bad or questionable examples; or those which define a fan term, like {{pettanko}}
