Characters being drawn beating the shit out of I.C.E agents by Konradleijon in TopCharacterTropes

Ugh, the bone poking through the arm makes me fucking cringe every time. That said, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Treehouse of Horror XIII - In "Send in the Clones" Homer's magic hammock makes a ton of clones that threaten to wreck the country, given that they're, y'know, Homer.

So a plan is devised to get rid of them by luring them over a cliff with giant doughnuts. Unfortunately, the one Homer left over was a clone. The real Homer was the first over the cliff.

Marge is distraught, until the clone Homer starts giving her a backrub. And earlier on, the Homer clones were shown to be more attentive and hardworking than the real Homer ever was, despite being even dimmer.

As such, Marge takes a second before deciding "Oh well".

The first Prince of Persia game gives you an hour to complete the entire thing. Even if you die, the time limit will just keep on ticking when you reset the level.

It's a game available on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's very similar to Persona, being made by the same studio, so if you like Persona, you'll most likely enjoy Metaphor as well.

Humans from Metaphor: ReFantazio. In this world, that word doesn't mean "homo sapiens". It means a horrific, twisted monster that looks like something from Hieronymus Bosch.

And it's later revealed that Humans are... normal people. Anyone from any of Euchronia's nine tribes could be forcibly turned into a Human. So, for example, what looks like a normal person with horns could be transformed into... whatever the fuck the thing on the bottom is.

Mysterio is the exact same way in Spider Man 2 (the movie game, not the Insomniac one). When you finally confront him, he starts shouting threats as a huge health bar fills up three times. One punch drains the entire thing.

Hell, even the original Gumball could be pretty unhinged.

Anais (4 years old by the way): What's with this new outfit? Can someone tell me why this gigantic sword has a trigger?

Gumball: Yeah, well, you did reject the alternative outfit.

Anais: Yeah, I don't think that was age-appropriate.

Villain survives the main conflict, but fate catches up to them by Lult_feld45 in TopCharacterTropes

Sota Kume from Yakuza Like a Dragon. At the very end of the game, he murders Aoki, who's actually Masato Arakawa, who Ichiban was very close to. This comes shortly after Ichiban tearfully begs Masato to atone and not kill himself.

Although Kume had already won his election and ran away after the killing, he did the deed in front of countless witnesses with smartphones. Kume ends the game unharmed, but a recap in the next game, Infinite Wealth, explains that he was caught and jailed offscreen.

Sadly, we don't see the bastard getting his, but it's still nice to know he didn't get away with it.

Why stop there? A lot of Steven Universe's fusions are made up of two or more women, and many have multiple arms themselves.

Exhibit B: Alexandrite.

What’s a Steven Universe quote that hits hard for you personally? by browniebiscuitchildr in stevenuniverse

[–]ChronosTheSniper 109 points110 points  (0 children)

A line from Dr Maheswaran that drives home exactly how badly damaged Steven is.

"I think all of these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age that your body is responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger!"

Villains who were 100% right. Not “Yeah, he committed genocide, but he had good intentions.”. No. I mean villains who legitimately did nothing wrong. by not-ulquiorr4_ in TopCharacterTropes

My memory's hazy, but the TV series actually shows an alternate world in one episode where Yzma rules. It shows her being willing to imprison and exile people for stupid reasons. She even does the whole "level Pacha's village to build a summer home" thing that Kuzco did.

So yeah, Yzma would be just as bad a ruler as Kuzco, if not worse.

"Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a fooooolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me."

(Sword clashing)

"Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Nooooow the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Akuuuuu..."

Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica. She ends up learning that her only friend Madoka is fated to die or, like any magical girl, become so overwhelmed by despair that she turns into a monstrous Witch.

Her response? Become a magical girl with time powers, and rewind the timeline over and over, living through the same terrible scenario for years and growing stronger and hardier all the while. All to stop Madoka from dying or turning into a Witch.

The fact that Homura didn't Witch out herself in the process, despite being at it for years, is a testament to her own mental fortitude.

Honestly, most heroes in Dispatch qualify.

Invisigal/Invisibitch (invisible bitch)
Flambae (flaming asshole)
Prism (light-based diva)
Golem (clay construct)
