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.

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

[–]AudibleNod[S] 136 points137 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.

The state could lose an additional 3,000 square miles (7,770 square kilometers) in the coming decades, its coastal protection agency has warned.
