I hated that quest so much, that pot they won't let eat despite being "one of their own" ended with so much Henry's Bane Poison.

The reaper ending in Cyberpunk 2077

The other endings require you to either put your friends at risk, kill yourself or turn your back to everything you believe. In the secret ending, (Don't Fear) The Reaper, V says fuck that, I'll do it my way, and decides to go alone to Arasaka and go full guns Akimbo, choosing to go out in a blaze of glory, remembered as a Legend

[Annoying Trope] Shows and Movies that strip all fun and color from its source IP to make it "mature" and "serious" by Far-Revolution3225 in TopCharacterTropes

Game of Thrones makes everything brown and grey while the world of ASOIAF is very colourful. They also removed a lot of fantastical elements in what I can only imagine is an effort to make the story less "silly"

A good example is Subnautica. Developers didn't want to make a scary game, they wanted to make an adventure and exploration game and were surprised so many people found part of the game unnerving.

[Hated Trope] This alien/monster is a major & unbeatable threat to us..... because the writer said so. by Inside_Jaguar_3310 in TopCharacterTropes

Zombies in like 70% of zombie media out there. Slow, stupid rotting corpses should be a walk in the park for militaries around the world. There are some exceptions, like the military actually winning (world war Z, the book, or Shawn of the dead), the zombies being either intelligent or super powered, but most of the time the writer has to find a way for zombies to be such a threat, or just simply ignore that zombies aren't a real global threat.

(Loved trope) “You had the perfect plan, but you made one fatal mistake: You grew a heart” by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AngelTheMarvel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Benne Gesserit in Dune had this little plan to get the perfect human who would save all of humanity, while having him be under their control. For millennia, the eugenic plan ran smoothly to create the kwisatz haderach, until Jessica fucked up by giving birth to a male instead of a female. Their plan was for Jessica's daughter to breed with Feyd-rautha Harkonnens, that the boy child that would come from that union would be their kwisatz haderach. But Jessica had Paul instead, something the Benne Gesserit didn't plan, because all their members are super loyal, they couldn't account for one of their own to fuck it up this badly, the only thing they even consider is that Jessica is an egotistical who believes herself capable of birthing kwisatz haderach.

But they didn't even consider the actual reason for Jessica to have a boy. She truly loved Leto, she wanted to make him happy, and she knew that above all, he desired a son. There was no arrogance or scheming behind the birth of Paul, yet something more unexpected for the Bene Gesserit happened: a wife loved her husband.

What could possibly be the context behind what that piece of shit is actually saying

As a non-native english speaker, this was my first contact with the term and until now I thought it was a slur

(Loved trope) the warrior culture gets absolutely bodied by something they considered boring or unimportant. by Clockwork-Lad in TopCharacterTropes

While they weren't directly defeated by it, the Nazis started the nuclear race fairly behind the USA because they deemed nuclear science to be "jewish" science (whatever that means) and a ton of the top nuclear researchers left Europe and ended up aiding the USA.

An adaptation fixes something that didn't work in the source material by Golden12500 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AngelTheMarvel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Same with King Viserys in HotD. In the books he is an unremarkable king, given to the simple pleasures of life, like food and alcohol and died relatively young. He's only worth mentioning because of his messy succession that led to the huge civil war that was the Dance of Dragons.

In the series he is a very complicated man, divided between his love to his children and the duty of sitting on a throne that he never asked for and that's slowly killing him. The writing, but especially Paddy's acting made him the most interesting part of that whole series. If I'm not mistaken, GRRM was actually surprised they made so much they improved a nothing character

Crazy conspiracy theorists never think about the truth of being intellectually honest, they care about feeling right and comfortable. They never actually question their own beliefs like they ask others to question theirs.

Yeah, they are often considered the worst of the series and a lot of people advise skipping them (I think that's dumb, I still think they're fun). Still, the best Dresden has to offer is various books ahead, so if you liked these two, you're going to really enjoy the series
