Line 47:
* [[Manipulative Mentor]] was renamed from "The Svengali", in part because of the general shift away from tropes named for specific characters and in part because the metaphoric use of the specific character to indicate this trope seems to be fading from pop culture.
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]] was originally "Pink Boy, Blue Girl". It was changed due to the old name being misused as an inversion of [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]].
* [[Meaningful Echo]] was once "You Are with Me", after a line from ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''. [[Fan Myopia]] at its finest.
* [[Meddlesome Patrolman]] was formerly "The Longtarin" after a character from ''[[Gaston Lagaffe]]'' which few people knew about.
* [[Media Scrum]] was formerly just "Scrum". It was renamed because Scrum is broader term and the media version isn't the predominant use of it.
