Short-Lived, Big Impact: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

Sometimes a show, performer or franchise, for some reason or another, doesn't last too long. Perhaps [[Executive Meddling]] reared its ugly head, perhaps it was [[Too Good to Last]], perhaps [[Author Existence Failure]] was involved, or maybe it was simply ahead of its time. However, a few years down the road, the genre that it belonged to explodes in popularity, and when you interview the creative minds behind the genre, they ''always'' put that particular work front and center as their biggest influence. Quite simply, it was [[Short-Lived, Big Impact]].

This trope is about something having left a noticeable impact on its genre, even though the work/artist was cut short. Short works that were great but have not influenced their genre a lot yet (ex: ''[[Firefly]]'', ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'') go under [[Too Good to Last]], not here.
