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.

  • Evil Is Sexy: Mater Lachrymarum, and justified for the reason of being known as the most beautiful of the Three Mothers.
  • Fridge Logic: Its an odd coincidence that the woman who happens to open the urn is the woman whose parents were killed by the sister of the Big Bad so many years before. In another country, no less.
    • Fridge Brilliance: Mater Lachrymarum is actually the weakest of the Three Mothers, as she does not have her sister's powers to draw on. This is why her home, the Palazzo Varelli, has fallen into disrepair, and why she has to rely on the tunic to give her power.
    • Whereas Suspiria owes its plot loosely to "Snow White", and Inferno to "Hansel and Gretel", Mother of Tears owes more to the urban legend - the present day descendant of fairy tales.
    • Fridge Horror: In Inferno, there's a BLAM moment where a caretaker and another woman are gleefully examining a large piece of meat. When Mark approaches her to ask a question, the caretaker tries to cover the meat, as if she had been caught in a compromising position. No explanation is given (to be fair, there's a lot in that film that's never explained), however, Mother of Tears, its sequel, establishes that evil witches in the Three Mother's 'verse are cannibals.

  • Sequelitis: Critics and many Argento's fans thought it was a disappointing third chapter of the trilogy.
