What do you think of TV Tropes?

Unread post

For those of you who don't know what TV Tropes is, it's a website discussing tropes and how they're applied in not just television, but also books (both prose and comics), films, etc.. It's very informative, in my opinion. However, it can be TOO interesting.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

I used to really like that website. However, they turn every single thing into a trope, to the point that not a single plot point ever invented seems original.
