GavsEvans123 05/31/19 4:27:29 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Launcher of a Thousand Ships Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Stupid Statement Dance Mix Magikarp Power Joke Character Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Glass Cannon Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Giant Space Flea from Nowhere Game-Breaker Broken Base Roaring Rampage of Revenge Cliffhanger Cruel and Unusual Death Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Torch the Franchise and Run Lights Off, Somebody Dies Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922620002] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/31/19 4:31:26 PM #3:	Today's trope is One Scene Wonder. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneSceneWonder A character that has limited screen time, and usually not much in the way of plot relevance, but is still one of the most memorable things in the movie. They may even be given top billing, or at least an "And Starring" credit, along with the more obvious stars. This is not the same principle as Ensemble Dark Horse, because the character is often played by an established actor, nor is it the same as Dead Star Walking, because the intent is not to fool you into thinking that the actor will appear more often. The character just appears, gives a show-stealing performance, and then is gone. Like a Spear Carrier, only way more righteous. Like a Cameo, except you don't have to recognize the actor to appreciate the scene for all it's worth. You know you're dealing with this sort of character if you start referring to "their scene." TL,DR: A character who only appears in one scene, or one episode of a series, and becomes very popular and memorable despite their brief appearance. Nominations: TR-8R (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) The Female Squirrel (The Sword in the Stone) The Great Mighty Poo (Conker's Bad Fur Day) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922620182] in Best of th...
