TV Tropes

Author
Time

I just spent the last half hour perusing TVTrope.org, which I understand is quite popular, though I've never seen it before today.

Dear sweet god. It's like everything wrong with the worst message-board ever went and had children with the worst rejected wikipedia articles, and that bastard child was raised by two fan-fic authors in the back woods.

I avoid that site like the plague.

Not because I don't like it - it's actually quite interesting.

No, I avoid it because, without fail, if I go to look at one article, I'll soon discover that I've been aimlessly browsing for about 3 hours.  Hell, I've been late for class specifically due to TVTropes.

It's fun to read ... but dangerous.

Same here. I find myself reading the SAME ARTICLES and the SAME EXAMPLES I read recently, but I'm still stuck to it. They break down anything about everything, and I love it!

A great resource if you want to make a cliched comedy. If I ever make a movie, I'm going to go through TV Tropes and try to hit as many tropes as I can. Then I'd have a bonus feature subtitle track that lists off the Tropes as they happen.

I feel this way about this site.

I really want to do this now.

Cliche the Movie

From Eric D Snider, a personal favourite.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!
