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.

  • But for Me It Was Tuesday: Averted since Durant knows Westlake well enough that he assumed he finished him off.
  • Complete Monster: Hard to say which one is it between Durant and Strack. An hired hitman who takes too much pleasure in doing dirty work or a megalomaniac who has no remorse in hiring some bloodthirsty criminals to solve his problems?
  • Iron Woobie: Peyton evolves into this after becoming Darkman.
  • Kick the Dog: Peyton and Julie both get several swift ones. Peyton is obvious, but consider that Julie thought she'd lost the love of her life, and was finally piecing her emotional self back together... and then her rebound guy turns out to be a emotionless psychopath, her former lover turns out to be insane and heavily injured, and at the end, dumps her because he's become a monster. Oh, and all of this got started because of an accounting discrepancy she was looking into as part of her day job. Ouch.
  • Narm: "Take the fucking elephant!"
    • The "fingers broken, everybody screams" scene, the "funny hat" scene, the "man sticking out of a manhole" scene... There's a lot of it. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
      • Justified; Westlake's body is constantly pumping itself full of pretty much every chemical a human body is capable of generating, in an attempt to compensate for the total loss of his sense of touch. With all the crap running rampant in his bloodstream, it's little wonder his perceptions would be a bit...skewed.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: Bad controls, bad graphics, bad mechanics (the quality of the pictures you take affects how long the masks you make last, rather than how well they fool people), silly levels (a circus level), and A Winner Is You ending.
  • Special Effect Failure: The first film contains several very poorly-executed green screen and matte painting effects.
  • Tear Jerker: They took my hands !
  • The Woobie: Darkman.
    • Julie and then some. She really can not catch a break.
