Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!
Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Launcher of a Thousand Ships Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Lampshade Hanging Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Glass Cannon Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Game-Breaker Broken Base Cliffhanger Cruel and Unusual Death Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Torch the Franchise and Run Lights Off, Somebody Dies Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoaringRampageOfRevenge
She's making her list, she's checking it twice, and she's checking off your name after she's killed you nice, probably for making it personal. And in the above example she's even quoting her own movie poster blurb. But it's okayyou deserve itbecause you're evil, you kidnapped her child, and you probably kicked her dog (if not worse) as well. Either you're a minion or you're the Big Bad behind it all, but it doesn't matter in the end because either way, you're going down and Alice or Bob is going to be the one to do it, even if it means going down with you. The Roaring Rampage of Revenge differs from the standard Revenge plot in that our hero dispenses with the Machiavellian plotting that would define a classic revenge tale and goes straight for the bloodshed, either in a single, violent Unstoppable Rage or Tranquil Fury-fueled rampage on the bad guy's home base, or a more methodical "working one's way up the food chain" from lesser foes to the bigger fish. If the hero has a specific hit-list, this usually ends up as a Gotta Kill Them All situation as the hero hunts down and kills each bad guy on the list before moving on to the next. In most cases, the second to last bad guy on the hit-list is the Dragon for whichever Big Bad that the hero has saved for last, and is usually someone the hero has an especially personal beef with and/or is the most psychotic or otherwise hateworthy foe on the list aside from the Big Bad. If the hero decided a rampage wasn't enough, the hero may resort to an Extreme Mle Revenge to let the bad guys feel the pain with a hard punch in the guts. TL,DR: The hero has been wronged, and is now out to get their revenge on everyone who crossed them. Nominations: The Bride (Kill Bill) John Wick The Punisher ... Copied to Clipboard!
