The fact that several communities have formed that thinks that TvTropes is too restrained boggles the hell out of my mind.

Arcsquad12 posted:Does Ask That Guy do the same fake falsetto scream that Doug Walker uses for every other character? I haven't watched it in forever but no he doesn't. At least not nearly as frequently. It's a lot of "so edgy" humor though.

Alpacalips Now posted:Do you know that TV Tropes does music, too? I looked up one of my favorite bands, the Queens of the Stone Age and found a troper joke. Looked up one of my favorites, Electric Six: quote:Last Note Nightmare: "It Ain't Punk Rock" goes from a regular E6 song and into some sort of nightmarish industrial-ambient thing for a good one minute." Here's the song if you can handle the nightmares.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QveYlBHQk

The Vosgian Beast posted:So Sword Arts Online is lovely fanfic that got popular by appealing to the collective id of a certain subset of society. It's not actually a fanfic, just hosted there, I think? It's really terribletastic though. Has anyone actually managed to do the trapped in an MMO bit well? I was going to check if there was a trope for that but it appears that there's not. Closest I could find was Trapped In Another World.

Darth Walrus posted:Log Horizon is quite well-received and really digs into the social implications, so long as you don't mind infodumps, a slight lack of real conflict, and a lack of visual pop (plus the usual background radiation of Anime, though not to anywhere near SAO's extreme). I heard that it was really boring and very un-good as well. Never checked it out for myself because of that.

Hammurabi posted:.hack is pretty good. Though the protagonists in that franchise usually aren't trapped, except in .hack//Sign (which is pretty good IIRC). So I guess .hack//Sign is a good answer. Follow up question, where the hell do I begin with .hack? I'm legitimately intrigued but I was lost as hell when I tried to watch one of the series.

Improbable Lobster posted:It's weird how the whole "trapped in a video game/mmo" plot seems to only happen in children's television and anime. What are you talking about? They are clearly very adult and mature shows that are clearly not for children and-

Regalingualius posted:I'm vaguely remembering him saying something about how it was aimed at what he felt was a rather delinquent youth in Japan at the time it was made. Basically "stop bitching, you've no idea how good you've got it", though I could be misremembering. Oh yeah, I got it mixed up. It's not an anti-war movie as it's a movie about how spoiled brats don't know how life was during the war or something.

So death of the author is just interpretations that weren't intentional?

Tarezax posted:Doesn't that derive from a 4chan joke? I know I've seen .gifs from fanservicey anime with "plot" (boobs) and "backstory" (rear end) 'shopped in. Not sure if it derived from 4chan but yeah, it's a play on people who say that they watch fanservice-y stuff "for the plot" by saying calling fanservice "plot". Anime fans think it's way funnier than it actually is. Edit: there are no examples of anime, manga or fan fiction on the "read it for the articles" trope page. watho fucked around with this message at 12:24 on Aug 13, 2014 |
