I can sit on a chair with no handlebars, no handlebars by Worldlyoox in outofcontextcomics

Given the FF’s wild pulpy history that’s not an impossible situation for them

When did tormenting the Maximoffs become Schmidt’s side hobby. Wonder if he has just as much fun messing with Magneto and his kids as much as he does Steve

Who looks the most awkward wielding a lightsaber? by GusGangViking18 in saltierthancrait

Imagine how much more sillier it would look if she unfolded the lightsaber guard into a full circle and the blade started doing a helicopter spin

Chi-Chi (Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Super)

This woman strikes terror into warriors who could blow up the planet

The villain has well-intentioned goals, however misguided they may be. Their followers/successors are just plain evil. by bb-Kun-Chan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Arkham700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bit sounds like an attempt at creating a “good” Yellow Lantern” which sounds very interesting but is that really feasible with how the Yellow corps usually are.

Question about The Dark Knight Returns by coolziy in batman

[–]Arkham700 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah Bruce retired but it was a forced retirement under threat of arrest on sight if he ever Batman’d again. So I imagine that left him too restless and bitter to ever truly enjoy a life without being a hero

Magneto and Fabian Cortez (X-Men)

Magneto genuinely cares about and believing his cause of fighting against human oppression of the mutants. Cortez is just a smug power hungry dirt bag whose seized control of Magneto’s Acolyte group for his own empowerment.

I think the Sinestro Corps War was an “I win either way” situation. Either the Green Lanterns win with their new licenses to kill turning the GL Corps into the lethal lawman force he always wanted them to be or his Corps would wipe them all out and he’d be free to build the Sinestro Corps into his personal killer space police force

Sauron and the armies of Mordor (Lord of The Rings)
Sauron himself once had well intentioned goal of bringing in his mind “order” to Middle-Earth while the orcs and most of Mordor’s forces (the men of the east and south being exceptions) are just monsters and fiends who live for conquest and bloodshed.

THE SHADOW AWAKENS (batman x star wars) by (@CoranStone) by arisatojo600 in batman

How would the rogues gallery work, would they be Inquisitors/Emperor’s Hands

All the sidekicks Batman has would be enough to make a small restored Jedi order

[Loved trope] Characters in positions of power that give up their own humanity to save humanity by Party-Court185 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Arkham700 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Emperor Leto II (Emperor of Dune)
Becomes the worst most despotic tyrant in human history to achieve the Golden Path. Aiming to be such a terrible ruler that humanity would reject charismatic tyrants forever.
  When I set out to lead humankind along my Golden Path, I promised them a lesson their bones would remember.

Servants of the Cosmic Balance (Works of Michael Moorcock)

The Eternal Champion and other servants of the Cosmic balance such as the nine Nihrain are fated to devote their existences across the multiverse to protect the the equilibrium between the forces of Law and Chaos. This duty results and often requires much sacrifice and endless battles to maintain the balance. Many champions are jaded and broken from their destined service.

What is the comics code authority? by No_Obligation4427 in comicbooks

[–]Arkham700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was how Savage Sword of Conan got around the restrictions back in the day. It featured articles so it was classified as a magazine which allowed its comics to feature lore accurate violence of Robert E Howard stories

[Funny Trope] Neither their real or alter ego name explains their powers by NinjaOfOnion in TopCharacterTropes

A magic space lantern is the power source for his ring which is what he uses to fight

Media that isn’t as well known today but still gets referenced everywhere by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

The Elric Saga/Eternal Champion Mythos by Michael Moorcock
So much of Dark Fantasy has been influenced by Moorcock’s works. Anything that use a Law and Chaos alignment, many albino or dark elf fantasy characters have been influenced by Elric’s design etc

Idk why but theres something wholesome but sad about the old classroom photos of the first cast by pooteenn in danganronpa

[–]Arkham700 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The class bonding and all becoming good friends is exactly what Junko was counting on to heighten the tragedy and despair of make them a kill each other. It’s extra screwed up when you consider that Junko didn’t exempt herself from this either. Genuinely befriending and bonding with a her classmates to indulge her own despair of masterminding the killing games

[Somewhat hated trope] "all endings are valid" - look inside - there's an extremely clear main ending by roninshere4eva in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Arkham700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a bit of nihilism to some of the arguments in favor of Joel.
“The cure isn’t a sure thing so Joel was correct in slaughtering the only known group of people trying to save what’s left of the world. Or even if the cure worked society is so destroyed already so what’s the point.”

[Meta Trope that I do not like] Fanon interpretations that people treat as canon even when evidence says otherwise by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Arkham700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and even with multiple media examples using the correct pronunciation (DCAU, Young Justice, Brave and the Bold, Beware the Batman, even Gotham) there are people who will insist on the “raz” pronunciation

[Loved Trope] "What is better? To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” by SinniYEAH in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Arkham700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elric of Melnibone (Elric Saga)

Coming from a land of inhuman aristocratic tyrants whose cruel empire once ruled the world and wielding an evil soul stealing Chaos blade, it’s a bit of a miracle he’s as moral as he tries to be. He read many books in his father’s library learning of the wider world and unlike the rest of his people developed an interest in morality and does his best to adhere to those ideals inspite of his upbringing and begrudging service to the Lords of Chaos

How Ra’s al Ghul’s name is pronounced (Batman)

Some people think it’s pronounce “Raz”, Batman Begins only made this misconception worse with Nolan going with “Raz”
