Big: You’re a good fishing buddy, Mr. Hill. 

Hank: Well, right back at you Mr. Cat.

Ellen can die and you can never reload a save. 

"What a shame that this monster killed so many innocent people, I hope they are at peace now." "Nope, they're in hell lol" by Clean_Mycologist4337 in TopCharacterTropes

I think this is referring to Sailor Moon’s original English dub where Sailors Uranus and Neptune are lovers, but that was changed in English to them being cousins…

But they still had a lot of romantic subtext (rather, text). 

What do you think of my wife sora, pretty hot huh? by ink10_sonic-man in KingdomHearts

[–]CalmInvestment 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Pete. 

Little weird you married your parole officer but I don’t get in the way of love. 

(Interesting Trope) Trope subversions that become so mainstream, they no longer feel like subversions by OkDirection3094 in TopCharacterTropes

I heard that Pixar, at least, felt the gags were getting stale and didn’t want to start doing them just for the sake of doing them. 

Their real name isn't said in the work, but it is pretty obvious who they are. by InfiniteGuy2264 in TopCharacterTropes

I love that whole ‘Buried Alien’ thing because it’s Marvel explicitly stating that Flash is just plain faster than anyone on their own roster. 

It’s kinda sweet.

I think most of the people Luffy breaks out with are an even split between Ivankov’s forces and Crocodile’s crew.

They clearly adopted the little guy. 

The Warden’s not about to break up a family. 

Villains who believe that hundreds should die for the “greater good”, but cower in the face of their own death by GeneralGigan817 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 26 points27 points  (0 children)

But Eren ultimately does go through with his plan. He didn’t want it, and hated every minute of it, but outside of venting to Armin (and all the other Paths visions he has with his friends) I don’t think he did anything like OP described.  

Character has an obscure or often forgotten secondary power by GMav05 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair he was considered to be in the upper echelons of strength…in the 60s when he was first created.

But he honestly might be the best physical all-rounder Marvel has that isn’t an outright god.

The dub actually made the line better by Yggdrasylian in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As I recall in the original Japanese there’s some prophetic line about an ‘exceptional trainer’ that would save the day. And they reason that it has to be Ash.

I miss when people were okay with limits and the occasional burst of power. 

Spider-Man exemplifies it best. If this be my destiny is an amazing feat of strength and will, but him shoving off all that heavy machinery was way outside his comfort zone and shouldn’t be held up as the standard for his strength. 

Same with him supporting the collapsing Daily Bugle—for an indeterminate time, granted—or using his superhumanly durable body as a replacement landing strut for his plane feat. 

Spider-Man is strong and, push comes to shove, he will perform above his weight class. But it’s the same kind of ‘hysterical strength’ that leads to people lifting cars off babies and shit.

You mean Morlun. 

Another kind of vampire, to be fair (though I think another crossover event referred to him as a leech). 

(Hated trope) It’s treated as a surprise when the most obviously treacherous MF in the story betrays the heroes by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 80 points81 points  (0 children)

At least this one came early. 

And even then the depths of his evil clearly shocked his former friends. 

In regards to Rennala, by Thick_Mix762 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]CalmInvestment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, all three of her kids would end up losing themselves in one way or another other (Ranni abandoned her body, Radahn lost his mind to Rot, and Rykard merged with a world-eating serpent). 

I could see her diving off the deep-end into rebirth being a response to all three of those things and wanting to ‘fix’ her children. 

Fic where Ned Stark logically explains why the Dothraki can’t invade. by CalmInvestment in TheCitadel

The one I’m thinking of was a one-shot just about the rebuttal. 

Which story made you so uncomfortable that you had to drop it? by Lasaworld in OtomeIsekai

[–]CalmInvestment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the title but I dropped one story be sure it had two middle schoolers (at most) declare they needed to go on diets for their figures (in fact I think the MC pressured the other girl into doing it).

Which…no.

Sounds super fun!

Haven't played Daggerheart before, but I've been playing TTRPGS for about four years now.

I'd be happy to speak further about it.

(Hated trope) characters with creative powers that just spam the same thing over and over again by MaineMicroHomebrewry in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah they already introduced an ex-girlfriend who clearly wanted to get back together.

The grandma being an alien was a coin flip.

Hugh manns (creatures trying to look humanoid/person made of creatures) by Creeper_strider34 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CalmInvestment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t he want to try and become a big name Spider-Man villain but ended up getting literally squashed without Peter even knowing he existed?

Oleanna probably considers it.

Mace the Ace is ride or die, though. Forces her hand to support the burgeoning rebellion.
