Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Series Minus Series Core is a kind of work-edition which consist of taking a series and strip it of one (or more) core character(s). Since most series are more-often-than-not character driven, the removal of a key character can change the whole work radically, and that's where the fun of the trope resides. Think it with the First Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics in mind: if one BIG OBJECT leaves the stage, then plot can progress faster, other characters whose focus might have been diminished may gain greater roles (with new things to explore), and situations might be sweeter or more brutal without our Plucky Comic Relief/Problem Solver. Characters who suffer from this are always on the main spot, being usually the main character, with roles that range from Plucky Comic Relief (doing something silly every 5 seconds), to Deadpan Snarker (saying something snarky every 5 seconds) to The Ace (solving some problem every 5 seconds). Since they are all very likely to be considered The Scrappy (by at least some of the fandom), these works sometimes (not always) include a huge quota of Take That, Scrappy!. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Named after the Trope Making webcomic Garfield Minus Garfield. It's not uncommon for this series to be named "<Main-character titled series> minus <Main character>". Depending on the media, it can overlap with Remix Comic, Gag Dub, Gag Sub, The Abridged Series. When it's done by the original producer, it overlaps with Director's Cut. Compare with It's a Wonderful Plot, in which this happens In-Universe. |

The Lyrical Nanoha franchise actually has two of these, StrikerS Sound Stage X and ViVid Strike!. Nanoha does not appear in either of them (minus a short freeze frame cameo in the latter), which is presumably the reason why neither work carries the "Lyrical Nanoha" title. | |

Sonic 3D: No Flickies is a hack of Sonic 3D Blast that removes the need to collect Flickies from enemies in order to progress, turning the game into a more straightforward (and much less frustrating) platformer. | |

Garfield Minus Garfield is almost certainly the Trope Maker, or at least the Trope Codifier. Square Root of Minus Garfield parodies it frequently, by having other characters be removed or the idea applied to other comics. Most notably, one strip contained the removal of every single recurring character. There have also been several Animated/Live Action Adaptations of the comic by editing various adaptations of Garfield: The thanksgiving special, the Christmas special, Garfield and Friends, the live-action movies, and Lasagna Cat |

In the comics, the Mystery Men were a backup group for a superhero called the Flaming Carrot but he was considered too bizarre to film and a Mystery Men movie was made without him. | |

The Family Guy episode "Disney's The Reboot" features Family Guy Again, in which Chris is the only main character remaining, and most of the supporting cast is gone. The show's regular Title Sequence is updated to reflect this, showing only Chris, Joe, and Tricia performing. | |
