    Meh.

    Nothing on Tv Tropes bugs all that much, because it is written with capitals and punctuation.

    Nothing written with capitals and punctuation bugs me all that much anymore.

    Not when I have to put up with lowercase, "I", used as a pronoun.

    FORM > CONTENT.

    What about lowercase i used to designate a brand of smartphone?

    I despise that lowercase, "I", at the start of certain smart phones.

    "Carmina Burana" is not something anyone is going to confuse with "Kamina the TTGL character" Anonymous TvTroper #57342568347 only thought this because of the entire site's boner for that character.

    pretty sure the site (or rather the userbase) has since moved on from that show and that character

    also i'm amused by humorous disambiguation notices lol (and i'm not even a ttgl fan)

    also ijbm: painting everyone on the site as having any given sentiment but whatever
  • You would hate To Pimp a Butterfly.

    i would certainly hate pimping a butterfly

    they're stupidly pricey and not otherwise interesting and i don't know why people want them

    kamina is a bad character in a good show
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    43% of TvTropes is drooling raving TTGL fans.

    it's so much better and deeper than evangelion because shinji is such a wimp and kamina is so awesome
  • what's with all the ttgl all of a sudden

    like i hadnt heard about this show in years and suddenly boom
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Who put a bengal tiger in the Kaiser's latrine?
  • left unmentioned is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt because comedy lacks legitimacy
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    Why does this sound so sad.

    Did the number 8 die from years of substance abuse, and this is a sad tribute?

    I should probably learn to speak Russian before lowercase, "I", becomes accepted.

    Also: you too, Odra?

    You wound me.

    wouldn't be the first time something randomly got dug up, but i understand that sometimes these things happen in a blurry hurry

    what's wrong with a pretty, sad song?

    also little twelvetoes isn't exactly happy either

    Nothing, it just sounds odd for Schoolhouse Rock.

    It does sound nice.
  • figure 8 is my favorite of the schoolhouse rock songs

    yeah i do have a slight preference for feelsy songs

    BEWARE OF GRRL!
    speaking of troper-mindedness

    there was a period when I was worried that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was shit because of two gaping plot holes (Vivian knowing the whereabouts of the seventh and last Crystal Star but not telling the heroes and Grodus being able to enter the Palace of Shadow without the Crystal Stars...though I guess we could assume that Beldam and Marilyn knew how to get in there without them)

    fuck geekdom judgementalness

    plot holes do not necessarily mean a work is bad
  • it can instead mean room for audience interpretation

  • modes of enjoyment not intended by the creator or assumed by fan consensus are equally valid given the same basis

    effective fiction is a thing, though effectiveness may vary among people

    good, in the other hand, is a subjective term
  • a work can have a weak plot and be just fine if the plot isnt the point
  • edited 2015-03-28 23:37:09

    if the plot is the point and you have big plot holes you have a problem tho imo
  • my above post was quoted FIFTEEN TIMES in the course of trying to edit it
  • I'D RATHER SCROLL MORE LEFT/RIGHT THAN DEAL WITH THIS STUPID PACKEDNESS IN THAT FUCKING GEAR
  • or to put it another way: the more you lean on the plot, the sturdier it should be
  • naney said:

    i always worry that my own writing is trash because sometimes I catch plot holes after the fact (e.g. in one of my 101 episodes Spot becomes the POTUS but despite being a President still can't speak to humans who aren't Presidents...I guess her presidency wasn't legitimate enough)
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    It's weird that the Jungle Book Disney movie switched Baloo and Bagheera's personalities.
  • it is also perfectly valid for someone else to feel that the thing you felt was the point of a work is for them not the point of said work
  • it is considered bad form to express a negative opinion of a work using a non-consensus or non-intended interpretation as the basis

    but it ought to be considered just fine to express a positive opinion on such a basis
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    plot holes are overrated
  • it is also perfectly valid for someone else to feel that the thing you felt was the point of a work is for them not the point of said work

    it depends

    how so?
  • put it this way if someone tried to judge All Eyez on Me with the same language you'd use to review a classical concerto I would not listen to what they had to say.
  • there are ways to interpret works that are obviously lacking in merit, and some that are more meritorious than others

    I know. Book bagheera kinda spoiled Mowgli.

    Also, they ruined Kaa.
  • i'm never going to get over how much Cydne from 101 looks like Kaa (of course they ran him through their Hanna-Barbera filter but still)
