I've seen a lot of media that contains characters train hopping, typically in a very romanticized, running away kinda way (Steven Universe and Alpha and Omega, just off the top of my head) but I weirdly can't find anything on TVtropes about it? Am I looking in the wrong places, or is it truly not common enough to be noticed?

In The Name of the King was a largely unsuccessful fantasy movie set in a fictional universe. The two sequels to that movie involved people from the real world being teleported Narnia style to fantasy universes that had nothing to do with the original.

Ong Bak: Thai Warrior was a martial arts movie starring Tony Jaa, in which he plays a (then) modern-day Thai villager trying to recover a religious statue that was stolen from his village. The two sequels also star Tony Jaa, but are set 500 years ago and he's a pirate.

Stargate SG:1 and Stargate Atlantis were TV shows which followed various Stargate teams as they went on campy high-concept science-fiction missions. Stargate: Universe was a Battlestar Galactica ripoff that happened to have a stargate in it.

Best of the Best was a martial arts movie about a Karate tournament. By the 3rd and 4th movie they were shoot-em-up movies that happened to also star Phillip Rhee.

XXX and XXX2 had a relatively similar idea, but the execution was so different they're basically different movies.

There are some series that diverge over time, such as the Fast & Furious movies turning from street racing to spy thrillers, but they had a clear evolution to get there. The other ones I mentioned were instant changes. Is there a trope for this?

Characters with green thumb are usually all like "I talk to plants, and humans are the problem" and then shield themselves with a wall of generic vines.

Also, conceptually, it's really weird, sometimes they say they are simply "telling the plant what to do", but I don't think it's the two way relationship they think.

Animals can't control the way they grow, if a plant really wanted to help you, it would move by moving, not by growing. If a character had chloromancy, but for animals instead of plants, and I made a generic wall vine, it wouldn't be like commanding thirty chickens forming a wall, it would be like five moles coming out of the ground, growing insanely long and their limbs tangling on one another and forming a wall.

The equivelant of making pheromones with plants on this wouldn't be making a snake produce slightly more venom and it giving ot to you, it would be like changing the anatomy of the cow to make it produce the same pheromones from its farts.

This is why I think "Green Thumb" shouldn't be compared to "The Beastmaster"s or "Fluffy Tamer"s

Let’s say the story takes place in the U.S. and everyone speaks English, except for one guy, who speaks Italian and only Italian.

...And the sole female character's core arc revolves around sexual assault, and/or is notably more centered on sexuality compared to any other character.

I'm speaking of the novella "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" and the video game "Mouthwashing". I'm almost certain that Mouthwashing borrowed elements from IHNMAIMS, but no clue to what extent.

For research purposes, I'm very interested in learning of more media where this 'trope' might be applicable. If it rings any bells, I'd appreciate anyone's input or general thoughts.

Edit, to go into more detail: If we were to get semantic, the story would center around a setup that drives the men of the story to confront, and be overcome by, their base instincts—which the woman falls victim to, based on the fact that she is female. Sexist, yes, and debatably realistic based on who you ask. I personally would like to investigate the concept a bit deeper, hence my post

I was scrolling through TVTropes and I got a full screen ad which is usually annoying, but it was really hard to scroll past. It would just stay on my screen and I had to risk almost clicking it to scroll past. But the ad was of a computer setup but it looked very old? It was really creepy.

Two warriors from deathly enemies meet off the battlefield and become more than friends (sworn brothers/lovers/etc...) somehow. Then they both have to return to the war, meet on the battlefield, go "fuck this shit," turn, stand back to back and fight both sides until there is peace.

Examples I know of would be Gundam SEED, How to Train Your Dragon, and the Romeo and Juliet varients where they make it not-a-tragedy. Also if the christmas soccer match had ended the war.

A sarcastic statement similar to "Never heard that one before", but instead, they sarcastically state to someone, often one who has made excuses before, that has made a new one.

Surprisingly, this trope doesn't exist yet.

What’s the trope where the main character was originally connected to the bad guys, but switch sides later on when they realize the bad guys were actually evil or they don’t agree with the bad guys ideals anymore?

Think like the She Ra reboot and the Carmen Sandiego reboot.

No forwards compatibility in the past??? In a web cartoon I was watching, a character time travels 35 years into the past and says he can't find a charger for his phone. Is this a trope? I looked at the Inverted example for "no backwards compatibility in the future" but it didn't seem to fit.

I'm trying to find a trop related to court shows. As in, the last witness to come to the stand will always be the culprit, regardless of whether or not the intro made it clear beforehand.

Likewise, if there's a co-plaintiff by the side of the prosecution, then the co-plaintiff is guaranteed to be the culprit instead, as for me, co-plaintiffs are prioritized over witnesses.

I'm thinking about movies like The Robe or Ben-Hur in connection to the story of Jesus; Casablanca or Bedknobs and Broomsticks with WWII, etc. Basically, the larger narrative motivates the smaller one without otherwise intruding on it too much.

Note: I wouldn't consider this the same as, say, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe that uses the backdrop of the bigger event (the Blitz) to start the story and then promptly forgets it; or movies like Cold War sci fi that are obvious metaphors for the larger event without actually addressing it, etc.

In TV shows like Adult Party Cartoon and Drawn Together, the shows were extremely vulgar to the point where it became a huge problem for the latter as the creators had too much freedom.

Yeah I was just wondering what the trope was called as I noticed that certain media run into that problem again whenever a writer or creator gets freedom to make a show however they want, so if anyone knows the trope name, please let me know.

Anyone know the name of that trope in kids media where an annoying character comes into someone’s life, messes stuff up, and then gets told to leave, but then main character feels bad and realizes they “need” annoying character so the annoying character comes back and fixes everything and main character suddenly loves them? Examples: cat in the hat, smurfs live action

So, I just finished reading the Oldboy manga. Pretty cool. I ended up being obssesed, and I got sad when I realized how empty that media page is. I'm trying to fill it myself, but there's so much a single troper can do.

Also, I would like to know how to put images in the page, so I can put pictures of the characters (and, in a possible future, create "awesome" "heartwarming" and "nightmare fuel" sections). I understand they have to be an specific format (statictvtropes), but I don't know what to do to transform them to that format.

Can a more experienced troper help me? I just came from a 2 year lurk (I used to just read the tropes) and I'm just now getting active, so there are lots of things regarding edition that I don't know yet.

Thank you in advance.

Like imagine a character is about to be hit (normally phisically) with something strong and then it zooms in his face,the music stops and the attack stops for wathever reason,for example the agressor gets defeated

Mine is in metal slug using the heavy machine gun

(This is the closest place I could find to talk to others about this subject; if you have a better place, please let me know.)

I made a list for myself (in the form of a doc and a server) based on the idea of pulling something right out of fiction into the real world.

It includes things like fictional board games or toys that people made, working fictional weaponry, furniture, and whatnot.

As an example: A recreation of the bug couch from Coraline, The real sun/moon pixel clock from Minecraft, Rea-world Mario Karts, Attack-on-Titan mobility gear prototype, The real-world Thousand Sunny, Kiki’s real-life Bakery in Japan,

…and other formerly fictional foods or bands with songs or miscellaneous objects, like that Harry Potter wand that shoots actual fire.

This is the server version of the list I’m referring to—> https://discord.gg/Mgp7J3E3Kk (the doc version is a lot messier.)

I’m not trying to get anyone to join a server, I just thought there must be people out there who’d be interested in this stuff, or’d like look at the list/map..thing. =)

There seems to be a trope when instead of being ashamed of a trait, the character decides to embrace it and make it somehow prominent, often as a form of damage control against others weaponising this trait. Examples that come to mind:

• Many (most?) Appropriated (insulting) Appellations and probably many Insult Backfires.
• Hawk flipping the script in Cobra Kai, no longer trying to hide/downplay his lip and also doing a lot more to call attention to himself instead of avoiding it.
• Easy A: Olive embroidering a scarlet A on her clothes.
• The Unapologetic seems to be an adjacent trope, but seems to imply that the trait actually is negative (which need not be the case).

Not the serious, broody character

Examples: Pike from vox machina is one of the more "grown up" members of the team, pure hearted, but still joins in all the debauchery.

Sanji from one piece. He's often a voice of reason in tough situations, but will also be just as silly as the rest and get swept up with Luffy and Usopp singing or doing stupid things.

Iron Man, Steven Universe. That kind of thing

In second grade we read a book where the character is dressed as a ghost. The majority of the story is various things happening to the costume and the MC telling everyone who miss interprets the costume that it’s a ghost.

There’s an episode of Doug where he dresses as a slug for a costume party and he gets angrier as every character except for Patty Mayonnaise wrongly guesses what his costume is.

Is there a name for this trope?

I was just wondering. And if so can you also give examples?

I am thinking of doing something similar for a short story i am writing, and am looking for examples.

Something like... If Cell's absorbed victims managed to hold him back for Gohan to finish him off, Specially 17 and 18.
