Trope Talk: My Powers Are Gone!!

Wouldn't mind seeing Red's take on Mentor tropes. Done right, mentors give the protagonist some much-needed guidance and support. Done wrong they're borderline abusive and only there when the plot requires them to be.

What song is playing in the background?

This trope is more fun when it gets explored though. Sad that the vid glossed over the special stuff revolving around this trope though. Lots of the early examples and the modern examples don't do this trope justice. For ex. Light losing his memory in Death Note fits this trope but it's your generic "plot twist" pull. When this trope is really explored even like bad subversions like the Black outfit Superman post-Doomsday death is epic.

OSP video! WOOP WOOP!
