legolas effect

To give a character in an adaptation achievements that other characters were responsible for in the source material or that outright didn’t happen in an effort to boost the character

e.g. Legolas in lord of the rings, hermione in Harry Potter

hermiones wolf howl in the third film was so stupid, she doesn’t do it in the book, total Legolas effect

Chevelle Effect

I always thought the alt-metal/post-grunge band from Grayslake, Illinois was just generic and mediocre. Then I was invited by a friend to a free show of there's. Completely changed my mind on them!!!! I know love Chevelle and totally get it, so whenever I go see a show and a song or band has that same effect, it's known to me as the "Chevelle Effect".

Rob: You see that new Silverstein song live last week?

Craig: DUDE! YES! That gave me total “Chevelle Effect”!!!

Charlottesville effect

The phenomenon of people from one end of the political spectrum only seeing the extremists on the other side, such as a republican only seeing AntiFa in the democrats, or a democrat only seeing the KKK in the republicans.

Jesus Christ dude not all conservatives are fucking Nazis, stop using the Charlottesville effect.

Chad: "Yeah, someone's probably chucking a phat shit in there"
*All laugh like brothers*

The Berkey Effect

The aftermath of a traumatic, dark leader. His toxicity is lingering even long after he has gone.

Hey Susan, it looks like we are still suffering from "The Berkey Effect" here at work. Things are still screwed up after he left.
