Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

    • Averted in the film, he's just doing his job and even lets Langdon and Vittoria go because he doesn't need to kill them, but tells them that if they follow him he will
      • That places the movie assassin right on the Noble Demon or Punch Clock Villain shelf.
      • The Camerlengo definitely counts as well. Even our heroes steer into this territory toward the end. After The Reveal that the entire plot was forged within the church itself, our heroes and the church decide it's best to not tell the truth, because they want people to believe what happened was a miracle. Despite eight innocent people being killed as a result of the plan. One being the original Pope.

    • Even knowing he's an evil bastard, The Camerlengo's bit with flying the Antimatter into the sky and then parachuting to safety is unquestionably awesome.
  • Engaging Chevrons - In the movie. Extra points for Jacob Carter being involved.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment - Having an Islamic assassin before 9/11... Averted in the movie, since they changed him to a white man.
    • Speaking of being published in 2000, let's not forget the passing of a real-world Pope a few years afterwards.
  • Magnificent Bastard - Janus. And it's Dan Brown's greatest villain.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Say what you will about the story, but everyone can agree the symmetrical versions of the words "Illuminati" and the four elements are cool as all hell.
