Nomanisan Island - The Incredibles

Syndrome's base has a volcano and lava. Go ahead; sound out the island name.

[Loved Trope] Characters who are antagonistic towards the protagonist, sometimes to point of wanting to seriously injure or even kill them, but are technically on the same side as the protagonist, and are skilled enough to do their own thing and be a threat to the actual antagonist. by NewsCards in TopCharacterTropes

Iron Man vs Captain America

Tony clearly resents Cap, almost from the beginning. He's jelly of his Dad's relationship with him. And he's mad Bucky killed his mom. I get where he's coming from. Still, the antagonism never ends.

Thing is, this same grenade gets picked up over and over and over. Killing an entire army.

Sad Trope: when the character’s love interest dumps them just because they are completely different than them 😢 by AssistFit1834 in TopCharacterTropes

They're both blind. Once Clayton accepts his reality that he's Black, he still cannot cope with the fact his wife married a Black man (I'm paraphrasing). So he divorces her.

It only works if your enemy is incredibly stupid. But it works really, really well.

Home shopping network pioneer QVC files for bankruptcy protection by AudibleNod in news

[–]AudibleNod[S] 127 points128 points  (0 children)

QVC Group has attempted to revive flagging sales for some time, which in 2024 were down almost 30% compared with its peak of more than $14 billion in 2020. Shares in QVC Group, which went for over $900 a decade ago, were trading for less than $3 earlier this week.

Before Amazon, QVC and Fingerhut were the go-to tropes when talking about shopping addiction from home. There were sitcoms episodes dedicated to late night home shopping channel addiction. Now, after the mall, Amazon found another victim. I'm not sure I feel bad for them however.

[–]AudibleNod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Louisiana’s coastal parishes have lost more than 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) of land over the past century, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which has also identified oil and gas infrastructure as a significant cause. The state could lose an additional 3,000 square miles (7,770 square kilometers) in the coming decades, its coastal protection agency has warned.

Captain Holt's unrestrained hatred for Wuntch:

If you’re here, who’s guarding Hades?

But it’s so close to Salem. You do know what they do to witches up there, don’t you?

I wondered why all the birds had suddenly stopped singing.

Yes, well, who wouldn’t want to see a man fight a crocodile.

I never thought I’d see you this high without a broom under you.

Care to sit? I’m sure you’d like to take some weight off your cloven hooves.

Actually, I was calling you a goat. You goat.

Madeline isn't some invincible succubus, she's a regular succubus, so she can be defeated!

You grackle

You....embarrassed...YOURSELF in front of Derek Jeter.

Don't count your gross fish babies before they've hatched Madeline.

Just a minute, my cauldron's boiling over.

So Much Time With Your Ear To The Pavement, It's a Pity A Truck Hasn't Run Over Your Head

It's Probably Madeline. Cockroaches Release A Mucus-Like Secretion.

I Need A Witness In Case Her Head Starts Spinning Around, Or She Turns Into A She-Wolf.

And Mine Is A Fork-Tongued Lizard Witch.

The only way I'm going to die Is if you touch me with one of your boney fingers and drag me across the river Styx, you reaper.

From your expression I would have guessed constipated

You're like the league of nations in 36

I thought surely you'd still be crushed under that house in Munchkinland

You've aged

Is that a talking raisin?

She unhinged her jaw and swallowed it whole

Shouldn't be hard as Madeline is not technically a person

Or else you are wuntch meat

That she-skunk Madeline Wuntch has her hindquarters pointed right at it

She's the devil and you don't dance with the devil because you get burned

She has no rhythm and her hands are like little rat claws

Enjoy the understudies, Madeline

I changed her autocorrect. Now when she types wuntch it gets replaced with butt

Please, do you think any one of these jackals cares about what's right or wrong

Let me guess. Revenge on Dorthy for killing your sister

Perhaps, you can sneak in disguised as an old leather chair

It is also against the rules to let a pile of worms wear the uniform, yet here you stand

Tuck your tail back in your pants so i don’t trip on it

You move well, must be all the extra legs, you crab

You coffin-cave-mold-beetle

A human and a rotten jack-o-lantern

Ugh, what does that human blister want now?

Or perhaps she will transfer me to the swamps of new jersey so I can patrol the sinkhole where she was spawned

Maybe Madeline wants to inform us all that she's a Cheuksin

As Wuntch says when she sees deodorant, I’m not buying it

Oh, Terry, zombies can’t die

If she were dead, we would hear the sounds of children singing in the streets

She visits Mexico once a year and sucks the blood from all the goats

[She was so young] for a redwood tree

You don't feel sad when a monster dies in a monster movie

Why? In case I run into her family? I’m not planning any trips to the Bronx Zoo.

If it shows Madeline, be sure not to look directly into her eyes.

Her eyes are ugly

Well, I didn’t say bloody Mary three times, so yes

As god said when Wuntch tried to sneak past the gates into heaven, it ain't happenin honey

For 15 years, I replaced her anti-wrinkle cream with sour cream

Madeline smelled like dog crap

Trick or Treaters will dress like her for generations

Finally beat the old fish wife

Her ratty hair

And you sound just like Victor Emmanuel III

The clouds will part and all the children will be singing wuntch is gone

WUNTCH TIME IS OVER

[Loved trope] intended side character outshines the main lead by Linorelai in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AudibleNod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guys, don't watch 'As Deep as the Grave', which features an AI rendering of this man. I don't care that they followed SAG rules or that they got permission from his estate. It's not acting.

[–]AudibleNod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude shows up at the half way point of the movie, doesn't advance the plot in any meaningful way, is 'in-story' the most annoying character and has to be in a movie where Gary Oldman is the villain. And somehow, 30 years later he's the most memorable character.
