Quote:Is Nazi Gold a subtrope of MacGuffin? Or is it somehow too specific of a thing with a set of ethical implications?That's a good question. I think it's the latter. By our own description MacGuffins are functionally interchangeable, but Nazi Gold has a whole lot of context and baggage that I think keeps it from being "neutral" enough to be a true MacGuffin.
I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, though...
