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.

Tearjerkers for the comic book Flashpoint:[]

  • Subject 2 Poor Krypto.
    • Also from Project: Superman, after Kal-El and Lois Lane meet as children in Project: Superman #2, and after General Sam Lane and Subject Zero are sent into the Phantom Zone, General Adam puts Kal in a tiny cell and basically tells him that he has to agree to be a living weapon or he will be kept there forever. As if that weren't heartwrenching enough, the final scene of the issue is Kal-El carving a little scribble of Lois into the cell wall with his heat vision, knowing very well he will never see her again.
  • Dick Grayson losing his mother, then his father, in the aftermath of an Amazon strike-force sent to get the Helmet Of Nabu.
  • Batman asking the Joker whether he should help the Flash rewrite their timeline and restore the true one. Thomas Wayne is asking his wife whether they should sacrifice their lives to save their sons. In a touching and intimate moment, where Martha acts temporarily sane, she agrees. But Thomas has to admit to Martha that Bruce will too become Batman, driving her to tears, while Thomas himself looks regretful.
    • Tears nothing. Upon learning that her son will become Batman just like his father (to her with everything that implies) she runs off crying & screaming while Thomas is trying to catch her. She throws herself into the Batcave to die in the fall because she can't live with that knowledge.
  • To restore the timeline, Barry must let his mother die again.
  • Booster Gold losing his memory of Alexandra when the timeline is restored.
  • The end of Kid Flash Lost. Bart makes the ultimate sacrifice, and no one will ever know that he did.

Tearjerkers for the TV series Flashpoint:[]

  • Numerous instances, but special mention goes to Lewis's death and the reveal that Wordy has Parkinson's disease, and his subsequent decision to leave the team.
