GavsEvans123 05/25/19 4:13:00 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: Shrinking Violet Launcher of a Thousand Ships Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate A Taste of Power Magikarp Power Joke Character Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Stone Wall Glass Cannon Me's a Crowd Lightning Bruiser 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 Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922361709] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/25/19 4:16:04 PM #3:	Today's trope is Acquitted Too Late. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AcquittedTooLate A character has been wrongfully convicted of a capital crime, or their peers have been convinced of their guilt/wrongdoing. Their lawyer, girlfriend, parents and children are all working to get him released from prison by way of a pardon, or perhaps a new trial. Time is running out, however, as the date of execution has been set. The lawyer finally talks to judge and gets a stay, or the parents or girlfriend finally gets in to talk to the governor and he issues a pardon. But by the time word gets to the warden of the prison, the execution has already happened. Or in a non-legal case, something that makes the discovery of this character's innocence moot has already occurred. In some cases it is long too late and those working to prove the characters' innocence know that they have since been executed and are merely working to posthumously Clear Their Name. TL,DR: A character is proven innocent only after their sentence has been carried out. Nominations: Tom Robinson (To Kill a Mockingbird) Terry Fawles (Ace Attorney) Antigone <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922361791] in Best of th...
