Tropes That Will Never Happen (Darth Wiki)

This is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek approach to certain tropes that will never be agreed upon by the community, either due to being absolutely universal, pointless, far too subjective, Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, or The Same but More.

Compare Lousy Alternate Titles for titles that will never happen.

 * Dungeons And Dragons plays this straight—the spell named' Mind Rape has an 'evil' tag, but good characters have their own version, 'Programmed Amnesia', without the tag but otherwise nearly identical. And then there's Sanctify the Wicked, a spell which traps someone in a Clockwork Orange mindrape demiplane for a year to forcefully turn their alignment to good. Casting this spell is considered a good act.
