Something or someone, often but not always of an inconceivable nature, is trying to eliminate (or at least suppress) all imagination from the planet Earth, or a species, or the Multiverse. The reasons why someone would want to eliminate imagination vary; one of the more practical ones is that creativity feeds chaos, and by eliminating it, it's far easier to control people's minds so that a stricter order can be established. Or a villain wanting to make the hero less of a threat by making them incapable of coming up with plans. Other times, it's that the entity's very existence is in opposition to the concept of imagination, making it a battle between two abstract, mutually exclusive forces for supremacy. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Related to (and, if successful, results in) Creative Sterility and/or Lack of Imagination. Compare with Dream Stealer, Emotion Eater and Hope Crusher; as well as Writer's Block, a possible outcome of this trope. Contrast with Dream Weaver. |

In an X-Men/Alpha Flight crossover, Loki gives regular humans superpowers, which would eliminate anti-mutant prejudice. Then they discovered that the price was all humans losing their imagination/creativity. It was pointed out that then humans would still resent mutants, who retained their imagination. | |

In I Feel Sick, Devi's artist's block is caused by Sickness siphoning off her creativity for its own use. It also implies that the similar consumption of the creative talent of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is what originally caused him to go crazy. | |

FLCL: The purpose of the irons seen throughout is to "smooth out the wrinkles" in the human brain, stripping them of their creativity and making everyone equal. | |
