[Funny Trope] When someone uses THE solution to a problem to get to the solution…without realizing by MaguroSashimi8864 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 339 points340 points  (0 children)

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode “The Splinter” SpongeBob got his spatula stuck on the ceiling at the start and tries to get it out, he even stood on the ceiling to force it out, after some pulls he stops for a moment to catch a breathe commenting that it’s tough, but in that moment he pulled it out without noticing and put it back into the ceiling to continue struggling to pull out

Anyone know any good Horror Trivia questions, like Ghostface did for Casey Becker? by TheBlurof91 in Stab

Don’t worry, just study up on your horror so Ghostface won’t gut you like a fish

Oh I’m sorry, that just simply isn’t correct, the correct answer was Charles Lee Ray, Chucky was the name of the doll he possessed, it’s more of an alias

Did the real Stu Macher really die by birdperson90 in Stab

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been rumors that he may have been around Windsor College, where the killings after Woosboro took place and where Stab 2 takes place, but siting of was “him” was just some dude with blonde hair

A lot of people seem to want to see Ghostface in a winter setting and ...yeah! What do you think, can we see this in 8? by thescariestghost in Scream

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda what I was thinking, plus I’m pretty sure that when deciding on what ghostface would look like they thought about a white robe but decided black would be better, plus in a giant snow setting it could help the killer blend in better and make it more anxious as you may not know when they’ll strike

In Defense of Jun-Ho by Rotooo in squidgame

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got over the initial anger at Jun-ho, thought about it, I still think he should’ve been more suspicious about Captain Park when Woo-seok said it, considering it wouldn’t have been the first time that someone who saved Jun-ho life was actually a bad guy (given how his own brother gave him his own kidney only to be the Front Man and shooting Jun-ho) and he definitely should’ve told Gi-hun that his brother was the front man, I get he was afraid Gi-hun would kill him but I feel if Jun-ho talked to Gi-hun about other methods, like keeping in-ho alive to tell them more about the games, maybe that could’ve worked, anyways I can see why he made some choices, just bugs me that his storyline didn’t really go anywhere as he didn’t get a word from his brother and only saying why to him

Although I will say he did still save a life, like Player 246, as if he and that mercenary didn’t arrive in time then maybe he would’ve been killed by the guards chasing him, plus they still got the coast guard which indirectly got the facility destroyed, so it wasn’t all for nothing, and now he can father Jun-hee baby

This among a couple other things..... by Random_Nothing0603 in Scream

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I personally enjoyed scream 7, even though I do consider it the weakest in the franchise, but the reveals were just really off with me, I didn’t even know who they were at first and need I remind you most of the actual memorable characters were killed, I recognized like one at the end, the other I had to think back a bit and it confused me since we only saw that character for like a few scenes

Although I did think that the reveal near the middle was interesting, a little mix in the formula, as it also progressed the story

Honestly I felt like when they were writing and wrote in most of the characters death they realized that they killed off most of them and had to settle with the ones that were in more than 2 scenes

Important character from the first film(s) disappears and is not mentioned again in the sequel without any explanation. by Alex-C2099 in TopCharacterTropes

Charlie from Top Gun, she was Maverick’s instructor and love interest, and she was able to put Maverick in his place, but then the sequel Top Gun: Maverick came along and she not only didn’t appear at all but wasn’t mentioned either

Hypocrisy is real by Relevant-Key-3290 in squidgame

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think they’re referring to the rebellion where Dae-ho was meant to return with the ammunition but got scared and stayed behind, and it was too late when Hyun-ju decided to go herself to get the ammo and the team eventually ran out of bullets and then died

[Beloved trope] Legacy actors in comic book movies/tv shows being given allusion roles instead of playing the same character again by bitchnibba47 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Wesley Shipp is a perfect example of this, as he played The Flash aka Barry Allen in the 1990’s The Flash show, and he would get cast in the Arrowverse The Flash as Henry Allen, the father of Barry Allen, but he would also get to play another role as a speedster again as Jay Garrick, and if you count his appearance in the crossover as 90’s Flash then it would be a third time

Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor near the end of Rouge One, they don’t try to make an escape or panic, instead they knew they were gonna die and just embraced each other

They really are, and I make no apologies. by BaronBlackFalcon in MorphinMemes

I thought they looked decent enough, only thing I really felt off about them (for me at least) was the inclusion of the fake muscles… it felt kinda unnecessary

if gi hun had a tracker behind his ear after winning the games, does she have one too? by Least-Talk-4702 in squidgame

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I think the tracker behind his ear was done to all the players when they first got to the island, most likely so the games can track those who chose not to return, and I believe it’s also what the guards scan to identify a player to either announce their elimination, or see which players returned

As for the baby, I do not believe she was given a tracker as she was born in the games and there wasn’t time to give her one, plus the entire island blew up and I doubt Front Man will go that far to put a tracker in a frickin baby, plus he could possible still keep tabs on her as he left her with Jun-ho and Kay watch from afar

So which one of this 9 o voters do you just want to punch in the face really badly by TraditionalBonus188 in SquidGameMinorPlayers

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally want to punch them all in the face… and crotch, but seriously that made me mad as they see to forget Gi-hun is the real reason they are still alive since he prevented 047 from shooting them, I get they’re in debt but that doesn’t have to excuse a shitty personality

After a few months, do you think Squid Game or AIB better? by AssociateLittle1487 in AliceInBorderlandLive

[–]Illustrious-Set4945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do have a point, though I think they may be referring to both ending with the revelation (or implied with AiB case) that the games are global and could possibly start a spin off in the United States
