What the hell, it's mildly amusing. I don't do these often.
TV Tropes Better Than It Sounds summaries of books, movies, one comic book, and mostly video games. Don't look them up, that's cheating. Guess what they are for.
1. Amongst a Thirty Xanatos Pileup, a guy tries to save his sister from Jesus. - Final Fantasy Tactics, guessed by unclejam
2. People with unfortunate medical/metaphysical conditions save the world repeatedly, but people mostly don't notice. - Doom Patrol, guessed by prismaticdrake
3. Pirates steal the girl's pet. She goes on a rampage to get it back.
4. Emotionally detached law student turns vigilante calligrapher with the help of a cartoon superbeing who sustains himself on a diet of nothing but apples - all the while avoiding detection by both his own father and a nameless skinny reclusive child genius who has a ludicrous appetite for carbohydrates. - Death Note, guessed by makoknight
5. You're trapped in the Big Bad's mother. - Silent Hill 4: The Room, guessed by makoknight
6. A squadron of insane soldiers try to not die in the war. Paradoxical bureaucracy gets in the way of that. - Catch-22, guessed by spiralpegasus
7. A man with relationship issues finds out he lives in God. But not really. Another guy falls in love with a rabbit. Yet another guy writes a book that makes so little sense that it kills the second guy. The whole thing is deconstructed by at least ten thousand people. None of it really happens.
8. A girl has second thoughts about running away from home after her new mom threatens to rip her eyes out. - Coraline, guessed by makoknight
9. Door-opening computer kidnaps Voiceless Faceless Space Marine Guy, keeps him on ice for 17 years, then drops him into some sewage to look for long-gone alien race. - Marathon 2: Durandal, guessed by doomlimit
10. An Evil Overlord makes up a prophecy foretelling his defeat as a joke. It backfires.
11. Six years later, the people are still not motivated. The cheerleaders from across the river are not as manly. - Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2, guessed by doomlimit

16. The US President has a very, very heated argument with the Vice President. - Metal Wolf Chaos, guessed by makoknight
17. A woman in red leather causes havoc, and just about everyone wants her to stop.
18. A fairy princess frees her friends from brainwashing by dropping blocks of garbage on them. Developers decide this plot won't sell in America, so they let Yoshi and Ash Ketchum save the day instead.
19. A Mexican luchador, a blind kid, a shirtless guy with horrible posture, a cocky guy with a huge revolver, a high-jumping thief, a barefoot woman who cuts her wrists a lot, and a black man in a suit shoot smiling, exploding people at the behest of an old Jew in a wheelchair, who spends his days playing chess with a crazed Korean demigod. - Killer7, guessed by makoknight
20. You take over the old family farm, hang with the locals, and get married. That's about it. - Harvest Moon, guessed by makoknight
