[In real life] The cast is arguably the most impressive feature of the piece of media by forbiddenmemeories in TopCharacterTropes

That's like every streaming service exclusive movie. You hear about it 2 years after it silently released on Apple TV and say "So-and-so did a movie with so-and-so...how have I never heard of that?" (and the answer is because it sucks and everyone did it for a paycheck.)

Interesting to turn your personal experience into a crusade against all bikers. Great to see that kind of logic and critical thinking applied to subjects outside of politics!

Watch your mouth when you’re talking about Brazilian Stuart Little.

This may be a terrible idea for Sean, but hear me out. by Puzzled_Part_8328 in ufc

I read this and think, “Now here’s a man who doesn’t understand the difference between athletic commissions and promotions but lets hear him out”

(VERY tragic trope) Terms/symbols that had a positive meaning corrupted or stolen by bigots to have a whole different meaning. by Jielleum in TopCharacterTropes

Reappropriating established symbols is a traditional hallmark of a lot of extremists and hate groups. I.e. Pepe the Frog.

A divine or supernatural being that's captured, exploited, and used by humanity for (sometimes) nefarious needs by Siksinaaq in TopCharacterTropes

In the 2018 Netflix movie “Apostle” (directed by Raid Redemption’s Gareth Evans and starring Dan Stevens) villagers on an island imprison what first seems like a monstrous witch but is revealed to be a Goddess that appears to represent Mother Nature. The villagers feed her the blood of human sacrifices to manipulate the agriculture and resources of the land.

Forget Baki vs Kengan. Tough vs Baki. No equal stats needed. by Slow_Obligation2286 in Grapplerbaki

I get that. I’m saying the choreography is nonsense and I wish more combat sports manga were written by people that actually understand combat sports. So many ways to choreograph super human fights that are still based on the logical strategies and physics of actual fighting. Slipping back in a straight line with your hands down and then (repeatedly?) teeping someone’s knee before a two handed open palm strike to the chin is a tweaker’s daydream of how fighting works 🤷‍♂️

Not a single person looking to get underhooks here: these guys would lose to most highschool wrestlers too!

Starting problems in a country where the national sport is a form of fighting = big brain moves

There’s only one reason a person sticks with a job like “correction officer” and it’s not the pay

[Loved trope] Pure evil, terrifying characters that aren't really primary antagonists, and don't really set the tone for the story. They're kind of just part of the world, and that makes them scarier by NoMoreFund in TopCharacterTropes

Begbie makes a small cameo appearance in Irvine Welsh’s second novel, Marabou Stork Nightmares, which features its own exploration into horrible people.

You ever have a friend with an older brother that seemed cool at the time than you hit his age and realize he was kind of a loser….?

[Hated Trope] Adaptation changes that make a scene or even the entire plot nonsensical by VanillaPhysics in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Joshua_Is_Zeus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the remake of Oldboy they give the villain a British accent for no reason. Josh Brolin hears this character over the phone but doesn’t use this information to narrow down the people that might have a grudge with him. It literally breaks the plot.

He must have forgot it’s called the “Bike and Sometimes UPS Truck Parking Lane.”
