Wings Do Nothing	comment	A character has, obtains, or shows wings. These wings don't do anything. They don't help the character fly. They don't throw lasers. They can't be used to hit people. They don't even eat people! Even if you are able to fly (whether or not you could before), the wings clearly aren't responsible in the traditional aerodynamic sense; maybe they flap, but it's just for effect. They just appear because they look cool. This trope is for all wings that don't have an actual use, regardless if they are won from an upgrade, appear in the character's real forms, or they have been all the time in the character. This trope appears principally in Video Games and Anime. Related to Power Gives You Wings, and to a lesser extent, Awesome, but Impractical and What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic? See also Good Wings, Evil Wings, as these useless wings may serve for identifying a character at least. Compare Goggles Do Nothing, for clothing and accessories that are there for the sole purpose of looking cool. See also Stationary Wings and the possible justification, on aesthetic grounds, in Symbolic Wings. If the wings work sometimes, but not when it would actually be useful, it's a case of Acrophobic Bird.

Wings Do Nothing / int_254af7ac	comment	Namor the Sub-Mariner has tiny wings on his ankles a la Hermes, that Depending on the Writer, do allow him to fly, but depending on some other writers, they are this. Some have even tried to explain that his 'flight' is actually him freezing the air around him so it turns into water, so he's actually swimming, not flying (which, while equally ludicrous, does tie closer to his status as an aquatic superhero). It's not all that consistent; Namor may be an example of this trope, but he may not be. Of course, plenty of Marvel heroes fly without wings, so it's easy for modern storytellers to assume the wings are just there for symbolism.

Wings Do Nothing / int_4110f1d0	comment	Baten Kaitos: Everyone in the world has wings, which allow them all to fly. In battle. Outside of battle, they still use stairs, ladders, etc, and most buildings are one or two stories. This is subverted in Baten Kaitos Origins, where characters fly around with wings outside of battle, and the main character uses them to dash about and jump over large gaps. Early in the first game, you're told that the wings aren't as functional as they look - short flights, like in battle, are fine, but you're going to fall a long way if you try to get any further than that. The wings used to be more functional, but over time they've atrophied. That's why they have flying boats. As for buildings, it would be an unnecessary mindjob to draw up building plans with the door on a higher level (you have to take into account that there's going to be a very large hole on an upper wall). Just because they have limited flight doesn't mean their entire society is based around their wings.

In no cases do these wings have any influence on whether or not the character can fly- all Decepticons were able to fly in robot mode, including those who had vehicle modes that couldn't like Soundwave and Megatron, while the winged Prowl couldn't fly.

Wings Do Nothing / int_6c1234ed	comment	Dwarf Fortress: There's a fairly unusual example with cave dragons: they have wings incapable of flight, which their description implies worked before they became adapted to the underground. But the thing is, regular dragons don't have wings at all, which implies they're either descendant of a type of dragon not in the game or that they grew wings which served no purpose after coming underground Toady has said that dragons will have wings to fly at some future point. He's waiting until he can program them to use it to devastating effect. Some titans and forgotten beasts don't fly even when they do have wings, while demons do whether or not they have them. In the raws, whether or not a creature can fly and whether or not they have wings are based on two different tags. The only effect of the wings is that a flying creature who starts out with wings will lose their ability to fly if the wings are injured.

Hayate's black wings also seem to only be there for the Perpetual Molt effect, though the Book of Darkness, the original owner of those wings, did use them to help her with her initial lift-off.

Wings Do Nothing / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam doesn't seem to be sure whether it wants to play this trope straight or subvert it. In some cases (such as Destiny, Freedom, Deathscythe, Aile Strike, Force Impulse, and Zeta Gundam), the wings are just there for show, though Freedom does hide two guns in them, and Strike Freedom uses them to store its DRAGOON system. In other cases (such as the Tallgeese, Wing, and Wing Zero), the wings actually serve a purpose, as they contain several thrusters inside to increase speed. They're still static, except for Wing Zero in Endless Waltz. Interestingly, the Freedom's wings (and by extension the Destiny's and Strike Freedom's, which are both based on the Freedom's) contain the HiMAT System according to the tech specs, to increase its maneuverability. They aren't necessary for flight but enable high-speed aerial maneuvers suited for dogfights. In practice, they tend to be portrayed as functioning similarly to stabilisers and air brakes, which makes for an interesting situation where the wings are designed to impede flight (to give the pilot greater control). The Destiny's and Strike Freedom's wings also contain either thrusters and/or an afterimage generator, in which case the trope may be subverted. None of this is ever explicitly stated in the series itself, being relegated to supplementary materials, and the wings explicitly aren't necessary for the Mobile Suits' flight capabilities themselves, so... yeah, it's a bit hard to say where exactly they fit in.

One of the lore books states that the reason behind this is due to the fact that, after the evolution, everyday life no longer required flight, so bugs eventually lost an ability to fly after many generations.

Wings Do Nothing / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Borderline example: pegasus wings do something to allow flight, but they definitely don't do so in the usual way — in occasions where they lose their magic, they also lose the ability to fly. Scootaloo is a straighter example, but that's an actual in-universe disability according to Word of God. Discord, a mishmash of many different animals, mythical, legendary, or otherwise, has teeny tiny bird and bat wings sprouting from his serpentine body. Being an entity made of magic, he doesn't need them to move anywhere or any way he wants, and they're completely decorative. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: The Super Mode Magical Girl transformations give Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy wings that match their pony counterparts (and, occasionally, Sunset Shimmer), but since these transformations happen as a group which allows everyone to fly magically, and last only long enough to dispatch the latest threat, they're most likely there to coordinate with their outfits than to actually help them fly.

Wings Do Nothing / int_cc3602d6	comment	"The Metamorphosis of Justin Jones" by Bruce Coville is about a teenager who wanders into Elives' Magic Shop and ends up purchasing a home magic kit thematically inspired by the metamorphosis trick of stage magic shows. Rather than switching places with an assistant, he finds that it gives him wings — which don't work. He continues to follow the instructions but grows increasingly agitated as it's becoming harder and harder to hide them from his abusive uncle, and they still don't let him fly, so his dreams of getting away from said uncle are as kaput as ever. Fortunately for our protagonist, he manages to keep them under wraps until he's finished the process, after which they fill out and do let him fly, and by the time his uncle finds out, he's already headed out the window.
