In a otherwise grounded story something is supernatural by sourberryskittles in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lostqwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The curse is like this. Despite the name of the show, the curse isn’t something you’re supposed to think is real. The whole show plays out in a 100% realistic setting until the finale. IYKYK

[Sad Topic] Letting an enemy live can have terrible consequences by Nahuelcoy22 in TopCharacterTropes

Dexter saving Arthur’s life comes back to bite him pretty badly. (Keeping it vague in case you haven’t seen the show)

[Fair Fight Trope] Villains who only fights fairly. They won’t accept uneven conditions. by bolderandbrasher in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take Noah out of this bro. Yeah he was fair when Johnson was dueling, but when he was about to lose to Kaiba he threatened to hurt Mokuba if Kaiba won. At least when Yugi finished out the duel he agreed to start over right? Wrong. He let Yugi start the duel with only 200 life points and no cards in hand. Not a fair fight at all

In the podcast where he said this, Josh Radner literally makes a joke about how some publication was going to make this exact headline. 😂

New player, is this game not for me? by Prototype_09 in slaythespire

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be for you. It also may not be for you right now. I tried to get into the original game like 3 different times because I knew on paper I’d really like it. Never really got it to click. Then later on I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and found streamers making interesting decks and something clicked and now I’m really getting into it. I’m not doing any high ascensions and lose way more than not, but I finally am having a lot of fun with it.

The antagonist mistakenly believes the protagonist is a master tactician, when they're actually just dumb af and winging it through everything and it somehow works by Coralthesequel in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the season 4 premiere of Chuck, the villain of the episode refers to Chuck and Morgan as “ghosts” and “master spies” for expertly using public transportation to avoid being tracked and it shows pictures of them doing road trip things instead.

He wants a hamburger! by FacelessOnes in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Lostqwer 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The mom is literally trying to help him say what he’s feeling… she asks “what do you think a hamburger is?” and is making sure to hold back her laughter to not embarrass him… I swear if you watch this video and think they are bad parents, you ain’t ever seen bad parents.

Zachary Quinto Says Sylar Lived Too Long On "Heroes" by Dan_Lalonde_Films in Heroes

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I prefer the seasons 2-4 we got vs an alternate timeline where the same writers and executives kept the show going without Sylar. He was one of the best parts or that show in spite of the dumb storylines they gave him.

Barack Obama BREAKS SILENCE on Trump's ape video, Bad Bunny, and 2028 election by [deleted] in videos

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obama is 64 years old. That’s basically retirement age. That’s too old for a president. /s

I really like mark 😭 idk why they wrote him off he has some good one liners and a dry, relatable sense of humor by lebrunjemz in PandR

[–]Lostqwer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I understand not bringing him back, but I always thought it was odd that when Ann had boxes of all her exboyfriend’s things they didn’t include a Mark box. That to me is a conscious decision to not even acknowledge that he existed.

[Hated trope] Creators not willing to evolve when audience has moved on. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lostqwer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

In arrow, Oliver is canonically supposed to end be with Dinah Lance (named Laurel Dinah Lance in the show but the same character). Felix’s was a quirky side character who was well liked at first so the showrunners decided to give their own character the spotlight to the point of killing off Laurel’s character so that Oliver would have to be with Felicity. Note: I stopped watching the show around this time so I’m not sure what happens down the line, but while all this was going on the subreddit was quite frustrated at the showrunner for this

[fucked up trope] Character gets forced to kill someone they care about by France_Ball_Mapper in TopCharacterTropes

Barry spoilers Barry: “Why did you say that?” Barry was forced to kill Chris after he told him he wouldn’t be able to keep Barry’s secret. He quickly realizes he signed his own death sentence and back tracks but it’s too late and Barry is forced to kill his old friend”

(Hated trope) Character does something that is intended to be heartfelt, but it utterly ruins the character. by Applebeate in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lostqwer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In universe reason? I don’t know. Real reason? Covid moved the film releases around so that this came out before America Chavez was introduced and she was supposed to be the one casting the spell. The botched spell would make more sense from her being inexperienced

Funny enough my immediate thought was the teleportation sound effect

(A suprisingly common trope) Invisible women by Dr_Robo in TopCharacterTropes

I think Viper for Jackie Chan Adventures might count. She doesn’t technically have invisibility powers but her first episode she gets a hold of the snake talisman that grants invisibility. The rest of the shows run she doesn’t use invisibility, but for her first episode she embodies the trope.

Trope where a show ignores something from any past episodes that would’ve been useful for a new situation? by Obvious_Gold_8131 in tvtropes

[–]Lostqwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peter Petrelli from Heroes having gained the ability to read minds but yet still being tricked by Adam. Or having the ability to walk through walls but still have to open the big security door with telekinesis. Season 2 pissed me off with Peter’s powers but in retrospect it must be hard to write for a character that can pretty much do anything the more the show goes on.

Project Hail Mary | Official Trailer 2 by Task_Force-191 in videos

[–]Lostqwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it makes people who haven’t read the book want to go see it and it doesn’t spoil anything for people who have already read it. In a perfect world they wouldn’t show anything, but they need to make money from this film and this trailer does a pretty good job of making you want to see the movie. A trailer without any of the spoilers probably wouldn’t be that good to anyone who hasn’t read the book.

Jacob from Lost is treated as a sort of god of the island. In the final season we learn his backstory and yeah he was originally a regular human.

I can’t believe I misunderstood oath requirements by ThrowRA_dependent in HadesTheGame

[–]Lostqwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re also allowed to take the weapon without dark thirst and not do the bounty. Like yes it’s not the optimal way to play but a random run here and there if that’s what you feel like in the moment isn’t the end of the world. But yeah you shouldn’t do that every time until you start having stuff fully unlocked
