Line 147:
* [[MacGuffin]]: A physical object, the pursuit of which drives the plot; but the purpose of the object is irrelevant to the plot.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: A character who exploits science for fun and profit.
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: The "Rules of the World", a set of rules and themes that make the whole universe believable as long as they're consistent. Breaking them can destroy the audience's willingness to accept the story.
* [[Masquerade]]: Weird things exist, but for some reason have to be hidden from the general public. The story thus takes place in "the real world", but with a supernatural undercurrent.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: A name with a deeper meaning, which is no coincidence.
Line 216:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Elements the authors thought about adding to the story but ultimately never did.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: A hero is called on his morally ambiguous or directly evil actions by characters in the story.
* [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]: The viewers' willingness to accept the story. The story doesn't have to conform to real world physics or logic, necessarily, but it does have to play by [[Magic aA Is Magic A|the rules it sets for itself]] (which are often referred to as 'internal logic').
* [[Word of God]]: Any statement made by the authors to clarify confusing or controversial parts in a series. The name is because their statements are taken as final and absolute.
* [[World War II]]: The historical event which shaped the modern world more than almost anything else.
