Evangelion Tropes and Idioms [ L ]
GUYS : Read it of you have time .. ^^ It's interesting ..
NOTE : Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole,tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite". In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.
[ the following bold words are clickable dude .. per click is free , no need to worry .. ^^ ]
- Last Stand
- Latex Space Suit (The plugsuits for both sexes have a button that once pressed automatically shrink to conform to the pilot's body)
- Les Yay (Maya seems to have a crush on Ritsuko. Also played with with Asuka and Rei in official art, even though they're far from being on friendly terms in the series.)
- Lethal Chef (Misato even manages to mess up instant noodles.)
- The Libby (Asuka is basically this without the minions or blond hair, and with the bitchiness cranked Up To Eleven.)
- Limited Animation (There are an awful lot of still images used, many scenes show the characters from a great distance, and the same Stock Footage is reused several times. On the other hand, if the creators were trying to save money for where it would matter most, it worked; there are several scenes that are gorgeously animated and absolutely stunning.)
- Living Shadow (Leliel, the 12th Angel.)
- Locked In A Room (Kaji and Misato in an elevator during the attack by the Ninth Angel. Asuka and Shinji's training to fight the Seventh Angel is a variant; they're not actually locked in a room, but they do have to spend almost every waking moment together.)
- Loser Guy (Shinji.)
- Lotus Eater Machine (At some level, the Evas. Some of the Angel's attacks (notably Leliel's, Arael's, and Armisael's) and Instrumentality are this.)
- Love Dodecahedron (Played for angst rather than laughs.)
- Love It Or Hate It (There's probably some Hype Backlash in play for the latter.)
- Love Makes You Evil (...and that man's said evil makes the whole world suffer.)
- Lyrical Dissonance (Komm Susser motherfucking Todd in End of Evangelion.)
