- TeMPOraL 12y ago> I just passed it off as a typical Hollywood trope I often wonder what makes people to pass off things like that as "typical tropes", where they are obviously realistic and doable.
- ctdonath 12y ago"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Those who view it as magic will express it as a trope, even if it is merely advanced technology. Just yesterday I chuckled when recalling a James Bond movie involving Bond driving a car in reverse by viewing a back-up camera. At the time, it formed an instant "trope" because it was so cool and novel. Yesterday, I was doing exactly that with the backup camera on my car - obviously realistic and doable technology.
