Quote"Any situation that would reduce a character's head to the consistency of chunky salsa dip is fatal, regardless of other rules."

When the final confrontation/conflict/battle/end of [insert media thing] occurs and it uses some badass version of the main theme of the [media thing] or one of the other recognizable melodies from within [media thing].

Doesn't happen as often as it should but does happen occasionally.

are you being sponsored to promote ping pong

"He was shown the smallness and tinsel emptiness of the little Earth gods, with their petty, human interests and connections - their hatreds, rages, loves and vanities; their craving for praise and sacrifice and their demands for faiths contrary to reason and nature."

it's been around for a while

which is funny for even more reasons

I like that one too.

Also I like when a show ties into an earlier related show, but isn't a direct sequel. Like at first there seems to be only a tiny connection if any at all, but then more and more things come to light that link it to the original. Like in Beast Wars when they found the ship with all the old Autobots in it. I love that kind of stuff.

I can't really think of any other tropes I love, but I can think of a million I hate.

damn, back when I used to waste my whole afternoon going through tv tropes, this would've been a cinch. now I don't really remember many of the tropes I like best, but hey, have this one:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoDialogueEpisode

(I refuse to let myself sink into this cesspit again, as was probably your evil plan for anyone coming into this thread)

every new update to this thread leads me into another downwards trope spiral please stop

i think continuity nod is kind of what you're talking about. but not in that depth
