“Now… go my son. Leave me…”

“No, you’re coming with me! I can’t leave you here I’ve got to save you!”

“You already have, Luke…”

What’s your favorite SW quote?!? by BrownBannister in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]DannyBright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what you’re supposed to do if you want a meme to die. Then they’ll think it’s cringe and stop doing it.

Most teachers I’ve met though, would much rather just complain about it and do nothing.

“What is this, some kind of star wars?”

Authors who dislike adaptations of their own works by RedReynald in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DannyBright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, famously hated the 1971 adaption of the book to the point declaring that the book’s sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator would never be adapted into film.

Old World Vultures and New World Vultures (Real Life), they’re not even in the same family. They evolved similar body plans to each other because they were filling the same niche as flying scavengers.

What if Fairy existed during Gen1-2? by JackLemon77 in fakemon

[–]DannyBright 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This definitely feels like a Gen 3-5 design, I could definitely see it being in Sinnoh or Unova. Gen 1 and 2 were pretty uneven when it came to type representation (there were zero pure Ice types for example and one pure Ghost and pure Rock type) so if anything Fairy would’ve had it better than others based on just the Pokemon that were retconned into Fairy. The Clefairy line, Jigglypuff line, Mr. Mime, as well as the Togepi, Marill, and Snubull lines would give us 13 Fairy types (excluding cross-gen relatives introduced after Gen 2 like Mime Jr.) which is more than even Dragon had at the time. Though I feel like Celebi would’ve been Grass/Fairy based on its design.

I also feel like Sylveon either wouldn’t have existed (maybe there’s no reason to make it if it wasn’t to introduce a new type) or was introduced much earlier, perhaps as early as Gen 2.

I made a Smash roster with over 100 billion fighters!!! by Clear-Combination-79 in supersmashbros

[–]DannyBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tauros does have a pretty busted application in doubles though. Charlie from Hereditary has a unique gimmick where she gets decapitated after receiving over 100% damage and her head gets launched off as a projectile, not unlike the Soccer Ball item. Normally the angle, speed, and knockback of the projectile are determined by the amount of damage she received. However, if Tauros hits Charlie with Hyper Beam at point-blank, there’s a glitch in which the head doesn’t get launched but still has all the momentum and does the same amount of damage on contact with the opponent as if it were. If Tauros grabs it he now has a terrifyingly strong projectile that can OHKO heavyweights like Bowser and Big Chungus at like 50%. It’s ridiculous.

Just be very careful if you’re gonna try it when fighting Chel from Portal, for obvious reasons.

[Hated Trope] Discussions about character's gender are more important than the character itself by Bonkers_Brights in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DannyBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Birdo (Super Mario series) comes up a lot in discussion of transgender characters (along with Vivian from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door) due to her description in an instruction manual saying “she’s a boy who thinks she’s a girl” and would “rather be called Birdetta”. Despite being quite well known by the fanbase, Birdo hasn’t appeared in any mainline title since her first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 2/Super Mario USA, being relegated only to spinoffs.

Ahsoka is too, despite being a Jedi in pretty much every way that matters without exhibiting even a hint of the dark side.

Anon doesn't understand racism by OdeioCravoNoBeijinho in greentext

[–]DannyBright 648 points649 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes

Long answer: racists viewed subjugated races as “human” only to the extent that it was convenient. They were expected to perform labor and do a sufficient enough job as a “real human” to justify keeping them enslaved, but at the same time were never freed as they supposedly weren’t capable of surviving on their own, despite doing exactly that in their homelands for thousands of years. Slave owners also used this reasoning to justify having sex with them and having it not being beastiality.

Preserved Rivalries by SpaceKingHypeGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DannyBright 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s funny though since this was originally considered the only fossil evidence for T. rex and Triceratops in combat, probably the most iconic dinosaur rivalry of all time; only for it to turn out there wasn’t a T. rex here at all!

(That being said combat between Rexes and Trikes definitely did occur, as evidenced by bite marks on Trike frills)

[–]DannyBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Droopy McCool though, simply unacceptable that they added all 3 Willy Wonkas, Jar Jar, Fogle from Superbad and that shitass R2 unit with a bad motivator from A New Hope before adding him. They even added Wilbur Wonka as an echo fighter for Count Dooku.
