Okay, fellow Tropers.

Could one of you please dumb down 'World of Cardboard' Speech for me?

Because having read the page several times, I still don't get it. Why is this a trope? It just seems like "Hero Gets Even More Determined and Says So Dramatically". Am I missing something? Fuck, even the Laconic version isn't helping.

Why is that its own trope? Aren't there plenty of other tropes that handle that already (Determinator comes to mind, stuff like that).

I think it's a relic of an earlier time.
