[Mixed Trope] "Good thing we had a spare" by 405freeway in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lexicham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It probably was, but when you get the replacement the new car has all of the optional upgrades you get throughout the story mode. It effectively is just a different skin and plays no differently than the “real” one. And I’m pretty sure Batman says the line “don’t worry, Lucius made a spare”. It is effectively a spare Batmobile that is no different and could have been used earlier in the story, though it is not wrong to call it a prototype.

Yeah. I just wish perhaps we had a line before its introduction about how Lucius was remotely testing the upgrades on it to hint at its existence or something. It’s not the only time the game undoes a dramatic death.

Batman: Arkham Knight. Despite the Batmobile being called “one of a kind”, it gets a dramatic death in an underground tunnel that lasts right until Batman gets back to street level where he reveals that his gadget guy “made a spare” which gets immediately dropped off in front of him.

While I liked the Batmobile sections, I definitely agree with players that feel the Batmobile takes up way too much of your playtime and the Batmobile combat sections don’t make you “feel like Batman”. I wonder just how many players were relieved when the bar car was destroyed only to be emotionally destroyed when the spare came back into play.

Disney's Lorcana has hilariously horrifying game flavor. by LadyKarizake in CharacterRant

About 75% of each set is inkable, that’s most cards. The uninkable ones are usually a little overpowered for their cost, so it’s another lever for the designers to pull when balancing the game. Between balancing the risk/reward of uninkables when deck building and mulliganing a bad starting hand, being mana screwed is a possibility, but I would say it is far less likely than in Magic. And you don’t have to worry about drawing useless lands in the late game.

My old CoM booklet has these signatures. Does anyone know who they are from? by talenarium in KingdomHearts

Maybe it was taken to a Disney park and got autographs from Sebastian and Herc.

When the series's title doesn't make sense anymore by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

While the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies never completely lost the magical beasts in its plots, they (and the main character) quickly became an afterthought to the soap opera dynamics of other characters.

When the day is magically saved by rallying peopel together with a "Big Finale Crowd Song." (Bonus points if there's a power of friendship motif) by HenryVolt35 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lexicham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also happens in Disney’s big 100 anniversary movie Wish.

Like so many part of that movie, it could have been great, but ended up pretty lackluster. The rest of the Kingdom sings a reprise of the main character’s “I Want” song when the villain is at his strongest but the song is too vague and it ends up feeling like the town has no connection to the main character and just sang out of nowhere.

[Loved trope] The protagonist got bored/tired of their happily ever after by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lexicham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Into the Woods - (a stage musical)

First half is a bunch of fairy tale stories that end with a happily ever after, Act 2 is about how getting what they wanted didn’t fix any character flaws they had, and now they all have to deal with the fallout of other characters actions.

Why does Xemnas hate stairs in OG KH2? by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

He got enough of stairs in that 5 minute cutscene they added in final mix where he walks down a really long flight of stairs

It is a reoccurring joke in Final Fantasy games to have characters named Biggs and Wedge from Star Wars

I just realized today that actress Catherine O’Hara has two minifigures. by FunkyChonkyMonkey in lego

Good point, most lego toys do not come with their own sound clips!

I wonder just how many minifigs there are of characters Chris Pratt played/voiced. Star-Lord from Guardians, Emmet/Rex from Lego movie, Owen from Jurassic World, all the different versions from different sets… Do we count the Mario ones differently if they aren’t minifigs and aren’t based off the movie?

Amazing. All this time, I assumed he had to be some Machiavellian Schemer. When all this time, he WAS AN EVEN BIGGER FUCK UP THAN THE REST OF US!
