"This is a work that traces the evolution of a single family through multiple (usually three) generations, covering a long enough period of time that you get to see more than one generation at the same age or stage of life."

I'm not sure Young Justice qualifies under this description. Even after the five year gap, the kid heroes are still younger than the League were in the first season.

Everything in the anime section is a Zero Context Example. The entries have been hidden until someone writes them properly, to encourage good style. If you want to add something there which isn't a ZCE or if you want to expand upon one of the existing entries, go for it.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

So, that means adding descriptions of WHY they're that trope, rather than just listing them, if I understand correctly?

I pulled the Star Wars entry, because I don't think it fits. This isn't a story about an immigrant family assimilating into society. It's about how the sons/daughters redeem the sins of their parents. Also, Leia was referring to her adoptive mother in VI, not Padmé.

For the sake of simplicity, if you want to discuss it, please go here.
