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.

    • But Hopper strangling Flik at the climax - ants don't have lungs.
    • Grasshoppers can't actually fly like that. True, they can use their wings to propel themselves short distances (hence the name), but they don't actually fly. They're being confused with migratory locusts.
    • Shouldn't the queen be sitting underground, swollen with eggs and unable to move?
      • This one is actually justifiable: some species of ant have queens that are perfectly mobile and no bigger than the workers, even when laying.
    • Shouldn't all the workers be female?
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: The guy from News Radio has to protect his ant colony from Verbal Kint with some help from Niles Crane and Denis Leary.
  • Watch when the ants Zerg Rush the grasshoppers. The grasshoppers all run for it - except for Molt, Hopper's brother, who actually dives into the grass in terror. So he doesn't abandon his brother, and that's why he's still around at the end.
    • He also sheds his entire chitin skin all at once as he makes the dive.
