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.

Daleks

  • Adaptational Wimp: Much more prone to making stupid mistakes than in the television series, and that's saying something, and they fire gas instead of lasers.
    • Adaptational Badass: However, their mass production capabilities seem far greater than the canon Daleks, at least those of the 1960s.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience:
    • In the first film:
      • Blue and Bronze - Drone.
      • Red - Second in Command.
      • Black - Supreme.
    • In the second film:
      • Silver and Blue - Drone.
      • Red - Ship Commander.
      • Black - Mine Overseer.
      • Gold - Supreme.
  • Easily-Thwarted Alien Invasion: Even more so than canon.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
    • In the climax of the first film, the Red Dalek's Trigger Happy tendencies lead to it ordering its drones to fire on the power control, killing all the Daleks.
    • Their bomb is ultimately what ends up undoing their invasion of Earth.
