So, this is going to be the last "Best of the Trope" topic, at least for the foreseeable future. I originally intended to hit at least 150, but the series has been dying down for a while now, and I don't really feel like dragging it out longer than need be. I've had a lot of fun running it for the last 5 months (the first topic was actually posted May 24) and I'm sure I'll have a new topic idea before too long. Vote for UP TO THREE CHARACTERS/ETC. you think best embody the trope of the day (or just for your favorite characters that fit the trope). Feel free to change your vote, but if you do just specify who you're changing from and changing to. Try to include the source the character's from. Feel free to nominate tropes for future days, preferably ones that have TV Tropes pages to make it easier. Day will end in 24 hours or so. Full Results https://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope --- Battleship - Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) / Han Solo & Princess Leia (Star Wars) Flaming Hair - Hades (Hercules) Disney Death - Gandalf (Lord of the Rings) Identity Absorption - Alex Mercer (Prototype) Glass Cannon - Attack Deoxys (Pokemon) Heroic Sacrifice - The Iron Giant (The Iron Giant) Quest for Identity - Leonard Shelby (Memento) Spotlight-Stealing Squad - 1st Gen (Pokemon) / Wolverine (X-Men) Mourning Antagonist - The Joker and Batman (Batman) Tall, Dark And Handsome - Handsome Jack (Borderlands) Dude, Where's My Respect? - Joey Wheeler (Yu-Gi-Oh!) / The Player (World of Warcraft) Rooting for the Empire - Team Rocket (Pokemon) Darker and Edgier - Shadow the Hedgehog Crowning Moment of Awesome - Vegeta Final Flash against Cell (Dragonball Z) Hand Wave - "By all accounts, it doesn't make sense" (The Emperor's New Groove) Token Evil Teammate - HK-47 (Knights of the Old Republic) The Paladin - Sir Galahad (Arthurian Legend) What Happened to the Mouse? - Most of "The Room" / The GS Ball (Pokemon) Deadly Doctor - The Medic (Team Fortress 2) Weapon of Choice - Lightsabers (Star Wars) Always a Bigger Fish - The good ol' famous Qui-Gon quote from Star Wars Phantom Menace Today's tropes is the Bittersweet Ending https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BittersweetEnding Victory, at last! The Big Bad has finally been vanquished, the day has been saved, all the damsels in distress and innocent bystanders have been rescued and the heroes are ready to reap their reward, kiss their Love Interests and walk away toward the setting sun... ...victory, really? Then why does no one feel like cheering? Why is the atmosphere so heavy with melancholy? Why do you find yourself counting your losses as well as your gains? Somewhere between the Happily Ever After and the Downer Ending, the Bittersweet Ending happens when victory came at a harsh price, when, for whatever reason, the heroes cannot fully enjoy the reward of their actions, when some irrevocable loss has happened during the course of the events, and nothing will ever be the same again. A Bittersweet Ending is still ending on a high note, but one that is mixed with sadness and nostalgia. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

Thanks for running this topic Johnbobb. It's been a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing what your next project will be.
Would it be okay with you if I took over this project please? I will only do it with your blessing, and if I was allowed, my plan would be to let the series go on break for now and start up once the contest is over. That's partly because the contest is overshadowing this right now, and partly because people might be more eager to see this series when it's been gone for a while. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As I said before, I'll start it once the contest is over. I hope I can do a good job of running it! Do you still have the list of nominated unused tropes? It's not listed in this topic, and the previous one purged. It doesn't matter if you don't, because I could get fresh nominations, but it could come in handy for the first few days. ...
