Revision as of 13:47, 7 August 2014


This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.

  • You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
  • You think it's the most well done.
  • It's your favorite play in that trope.
  • You just really like the source material.

Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.


Please list tropes alphabetically.

Heed my words, evildoers! If thou doth wish to challenge the Odinson, thou will face the divine power of mighty Mjolnir! Never shall the God of Thunder relent!

The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand — The dead shall rise!

We are rangers
We walk in the dark places no others will enter
We stand on the bridge that none my pass
We live for the one, we die for the one

Lo there do I see my father.
Lo there do I see my mother.
Lo there do I see my brothers and my sisters.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
Lo they do call to me
they bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
where the brave may live forever. ~ Orphu

"...'Til shade is gone,
'Til water is gone,
Into the shadow with teeth bared,
Screaming defiance with the last breath,

Dolan: Is every woman in this goddamn town out of her mind?
Morgenstern: Nope, we're just prepared.
