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.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper.

Buffy: This is how many apocalypses for us now?

Giles: Oh, uh, six at least. Feels like a hundred.

Riley: Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of "apocalypse".

After the orbital strikes, Thunderhawk bombardments, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, fusion and starfire and finally Battle Brothers with flamers had finished cleansing the world of all the enemies of Man, we built a monastery in the center of the largest, most radioactive impact crater. We named the planet "Tranquility", for it was very quiet now.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Human Sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

Cquote1

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great

And would suffice.
Robert Frost, "Fire and Ice"

Kodos: Smooth move, Space Lax. You've destroyed the totality of existence!

Kang: It'll be fine. I'll just leave a note.

Eddie: This was no nuclear war. This...this...

Blaine the Mono: NOPE. IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN THAT. AND IT'S NOT OVER YET.

Cquote1

Oooo, the Polar Cap is slowly expanding
In a million years we'll freeze to death I guess
If the Ice Age hasn't floored us
There's a planet heading toward us
When it hits, we'll be an interstellar mess!
Oh, our continent is crumbling and dissolving
As our rivers wash the topsoil out to sea,
And what land we can retrieve'll
Be devoured by pest and weevil,

And there won't be nothing left for you and me.
Lady Scientist, The Golden Apple, "Doomed, Doomed, Doomed"

Apocalpyse soon
Heading your way.
Ground zero at noon.

Halve a nice day.
