From TV Tropes:
>Zygarde's Complete Form looks like a Ganmen and one of the moves it uses in the anime is an attack that is pretty similar to the Giga Drill Breaker.

Ughhh what is it with Gurren Lagann fags and their obsession with finding references to their precious show in everything ever

You gotta understand. A lot of Gurren Lagann's biggest fans are not mechafags. They see so many similarities to Gurren Lagann instead of, say, Getter Robo, because Gurren Lagann is literally the only mecha series they have watched, aside from an episode or two of Gundam.

But Eva fags aren't obnoxious in that respect. They don't see some giant monster and are like "LOL THAT'S TOTALLY A HOMAGE TO EVA-01". They don't label every single blue haired emotionless girl ever as a reference to Rei Ayanami even if they actually are inspired by her archetype.

Norsefags are the worst. They had like 4 full paragraphs on bulbapedia of just trying to connect Zygarde to 6+ different Norse characters.

It's okay. I sometimes use it when I want to find a game/show with a very specific element I like, or I use it to research a game.
It's generally nice to browse, but it does have similar magnetic powers to 4chan, albeit far weaker.

This. I can kinda get xerneas and yveltals' connections, but zygarde just doesn't fit into anything Norse (aside from kind of the 10% form). Doesn't help that the 50% form looks almost exactly like an Indian Naga.

never EVER read opinion based pages like YMMV, that shit's cringe

they also used to have things called troper tales, but they were smart enough to remove them

You mean the falseflaggers who follow Triple Q on twitter and trip over themselves parroting "LE JOJO REFERENCE!" to make people think Jojo fans are more annoying than they actually are?

Outside hair and tail tropes, DB fans don't really see references everywhere.

On the other hand JoJo fans can't see any show as anything but a sequence of references to a bland series.

These. The WMG and YMMV pages are shit, as are anything secondary to the pages themselves like the forums.
The pages themselves are decent, even if they occasionally feel like they are stretching for a particular trope.

I don't doubt there's falseflaggers, but there are too many people that do it seriously.
I have a couple of friends that constantly sperg out about LE JOJO whenever the faintest thing resembling a pose pops up.

Nah look at that pose. Clearly a reference to the classic Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

At least it has a face on its chest like Gurren Lagann. If memory serves me mechas don't predominantly have the whole double-face thing. I agree that it's coincidental though and who the hell could think a laser leaving a Z mark is an homage to a fucking giant drill. How?

Some of the individual trope pages can get kinda bad as well, when some person feels the need to EMPHASIZE how (x character) TOTALLY DID (SOME THING) and how AWESOME they think it is

WMG is fucking cancer ("What if the protagonist is actually from the same universe as this completely unrelated game because of time travel?!") but the YMMV page often has some interesting stuff. It usually keeps the tone of the other pages without descending into fan wank.

To be fair I could get behind the theory that each form is based on a different kid of Loki. Sounded pretty neat.

>The Running Gag of Bianca running in, colliding with Ash, and sending him flying into a conveniently-placed body of water. Is Bianca genuinely clumsy, or is she doing it on purpose so she can have an excuse to see Ash with his shirt off?

Because TVT look for said motiffs instead of references, which in turn are rarely included outside of shoutout lists? Autist corner subsites like WMG don't count.
