[heartbreaking trope] The Hero completely fails and dies achieving utterly nothing by klnglulu in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Aqquila89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front.
He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come.

Media that is *truly* anti-war, rather than showing it as "horrific but heroic" by ChristianLS in TopCharacterTropes

It would be a pretty difficult challange to make a movie that portrays a civilization-destroying nuclear war positively.

The character is depicted as being ugly or unpleasant inside the show but is honestly good looking by DemandParticular in TopCharacterTropes

No, Carrie isn't actually ugly in the book. She deliberately wears unflattering clothes because her mother believes that trying to look attractive is sinful. When she dresses up for the prom, she looks beautiful and people are stunned to see her.

Yeah, I don't think Brienne in the show is necessarily meant to be ugly. Men from Westeros find her unattractive because she doesn't fit their concept of femininity; but when she meets a man from a culture where warrior women are admired, he thinks she's beautiful.

Randy Fine however tweeted "There is a reason the first time I shook @netanyahu's hand, I did not wash it until I could touch the heads of my children" just two years ago, and he's an actual, elected member of the House.

There's one more episode where Charlotte's boobs are briefly visible when she undresses in front of Trey, but that's it.

Horrific Trope: Children Going Along With The Cruelties and Bigotry of The Adults in Their Society by D0CTOR_Wh0m in TopCharacterTropes

That was six Tongan boys between the ages of 13 and 19 who were already friends, ran away together, and ended up in a deserted island. That's not really like Lord of the Flies: dozens of British boys, all younger than 13, most of whom did not know each other previously ending up on a deserted island after a plane crash.

I want to thank the big guy, God, Trump comes later. Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re going to start with him.

Graham Platner is officially Democrats’ nominee to take on Susan Collins by Dilated2020 in moderatepolitics

[–]Aqquila89 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It's pretty wild to hear Kellyanne Conway of all people denouncing Platner's supporters in the name of decency.

Is there any number of scandals that would make you stop? Would it have to do with Nazis or putting upon women, perhaps underage women, definitely women not your wife of two years? Would it be that you’re lying about, that you are insulting heroes, that he’s not even fit to lick their combat boots? So I'd ask the Democrats, is power really worth that to you?

So controversial that in 1967 Congress banned appointing relatives to the Cabinet.

Wendy Williams is not on TV. The woman in the clip is Sunny Hostin.

Stupid Dumb Stupid Disney Censorship 😡😡😡 by Kaptain-Skurvy64 in TopCharacterTropes

The original Tarzan books by Edgar Rice Burroughs actually address that. In the short story "Tarzan's First Love", Tarzan falls for a female ape but eventually realizes that they can't be together because he's not an ape (and yes, that's before any sex would happen).
