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.

  • Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza, with the mystical narration.
  • Complete Monster: Karl Stromberg. He's an ice-cold Misanthrope Supreme who plans to wipe out the majority of humanity in a nuclear holocaust, and will quite gladly inflict a gruesome death on anyone who stands in his way (and even, in the case of Dr. Bechmann and Professor Markovitz, some who don't).
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: The Teaser.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: "Nobody Does It Better" is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, of the Bond themes.
  • Ho Yay / Worthy Opponent: M and General Gogol. After British and Soviet forces decide to work together, Gogol calls M "Miles", M calls Gogol "Alexis", and they act overly friendly to each other. Bond and Anya give a WTF look to each other after witnessing this scene.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Jaws, who along with Oddjob is one of the most popular villain henchmen of all time. The guy became so popular that he's so far one of the only two James Bond villains that were allowed to return to a sequel, and then people hear Bond villain, he's likely the one that will be remembered first. I blame the steel-teeth.
  • Evil Is Cool: Jaws.
  • Memetic Mutation: The X Who Y'ed Me
  • Nightmare Fuel: Jaws attacking Anya on the train. Don't act like you didn't jump when she finds him hiding in her closet.
    • So much so that even Richard Kiel, who played Jaws did it.
    • Bond disarming a nuclear missile is especially nail-biting, even knowing there's no way he's going to actually fail.
  • Recycled Script: It uses some ideas of You Only Live Twice. (and then Moonraker outright employed Recycled in Space with TSWLM)
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: A return to form after the tepid The Man with the Golden Gun.
