Call for help: In [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1400/fc01325.htm this]] strip, in particular the last panel, I could\\\'ve sworn there was a trope that described the \\\"foolproof plan\\\" thing. Nothing comes to mind, though, and throwing it out to LostAndFound didn\\\'t really call up anything that fit, though there were a bunch of tropes regarding failed \\\"foolproof\\\" plans mentioned.
The tropes, so y\\\'all don\\\'t have to dig it up on LAF:
* ZanyScheme (and CounterZany)
*ASimplePlan
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
* GoneHorriblyWrong
* GoneHorriblyRight
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee
* YankTheDogsChain
* SpannerInTheWorks
Any ideas? I\\\'m willing to entertain \\\"you\\\'re delusional\\\" as an option, by the way. :P

No, I don\\\'t have an agenda, and I did read the pages you linked to, and they don\\\'t really come into play here. I just wanted you to know that, despite what you think RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment means, negative tropes will pop up on this trope entry, simply because this wiki is loaded with so many critical \\\"tropes\\\" that they accumulate around a widely hated film such as this one.
This has happened around every disliked film on this wiki, from BattlefieldEarth to GoodLuckChuck. This is an historical fact on this wiki. The main article is almost always the place for these negative opinions, despite the placement of weasel terms like YMMV. While you can spend time policing the page, a few months down the line it will crystallize into a generally negative trope page.
Oddly enough, without the allowance of this natural tendency, we\\\'ll have the double standard pointed out in beeftony\\\'s entry above - the \\\"warmly received\\\" term points the the positive and pro-film trope AndTheFandomRejoiced (not that the fandom actually is rejoicing at this point), while \\\"or violently hated\\\" links to RuinedFOREVER, which is slanted against people who dislike the film. The article actually has a quite unwarranted \\\'\\\'positive\\\'\\\' bias.
