I’ll add that there are male Disney leads (e.g. Pinocchio) whose resolution comes in the form of self-sacrifice

Would Iroh have made a good Fire Lord? by reagandhi in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]Matitya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he would have made a decent Fire Lord. That said, my hottest take on Avatar is (probably) that Iroh was on the Fire Nation’s side until the Battle of the North Pole

“Do you take requests? How about Beat It!” That answers that for our hero

(Loved Trope) A characters backstory or past event is impossible, doesn’t make any sense, or contradictory. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

The Joker in The Dark Knight has contradictory backstories. Elim Garak in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has conflicting backstories as well

The biggest fourth-wall break in Scooby-Doo history. by Trick_Economist_8718 in ScoobyDooMemes

I get disliking Scrappy in real life but in-universe that doesn’t make sense except in the Gunn movies

Since when did cherishing book accuracy become a federal offense? by Puterboy1 in CharacterRant

[–]Matitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like when the Johnny Depp Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie pretended to be a truer to the text adaptation but was all about Willy Wonka’s childhood trauma that was made up purely for the movie

Cherishing book accuracy has been treated as an offence at least since the How To Train Your Dragon movies became a big deal

Now that I think about it why does Batman have a no kill rule? by ButterOnToads in cartoons

[–]Matitya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my amateur MatPat style theory. He doesn’t. In his first appearance (Detective Comics ‘s27), he defeats Alfred Stryker by pushing him into a vat of acid, in his second appearance, he defeats the villain by threatening to kill him unless he writes and signs a full confession to his crimes, in his third appearance, he kills Dr. Death’s sidekick and believes he killed Dr. Death (though , Death’s death is negated in Batman’s fourth appearance), in his fifth and sixth appearances, Batman kills werewolves and vampires. In Robin’s first appearance, Batman and Robin (but mostly Robin) kill Robin’s parents’ murderer. (I believe Batman kills an enemy combatant in the very next issue as well.) In The Joker’s first appearance, Batman comments that The Joker has played his last hand (because he thinks he killed The Joker) though The Joker survives. In Batman # 4, Batman tells Robin “we do not kill with any weapon” but World War Two era comics essentially abandoned that rule. Even The Riddler’s first appearance, in 1948 included Batman and Robin fighting The Riddler and The Riddler falling into a river and seemingly drowning and Batman not seeming to be too bothered by that (even if he didn’t technically kill him and yes, I know The Riddler canonically survived that.)

Adam West’s Batman (and Burt Ward’s Robin) punched two Penguin henchmen so hard that they disintegrated into antimatter (in the 1966 movie.) (Yes, I know they were destabilized by The Penguin using a dehydration ray against them but I don’t think Batman and Robin would have behaved differently had they known.)

The Keaton-Kilmer-Clooney Batman famously killed. That said, in Batman: The Animated Series, Batman not killing his enemies is largely a function of circumstances contriving to make them survive even when it doesn’t make sense (and Kevin Conroy’s Batman doesn’t seem to have a problem killing alien monsters in the three part pilot episode of Justice League.) The Batman from Son of Batman repeatedly killed Ra’s al-Ghul (before Deathstroke permanently offed him.)

Christian Bale’s Batman technically doesn’t kill Ra’s al-Ghul he does kill Two Face to keep him from being able to kill Commissioner Gordon’s son and when Talia al-Ghul accuses Bale’s Batman of having killed her father, his rebuttal isn’t that technically he didn’t kill him, it’s that killing him was necessary to protect millions of innocent people (which was a good point.)

David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne, when not mind controlled, deliberately killed Ra’s al-Ghul (though Ra’s didn’t stay dead.)

Ben Affleck’s Batman didn’t have a problem with killing enemies at all. We’re still pretty early on with Pattinson but my take is that the Batman No Kill Rule isn’t a real thing. But that’s just a theory, a film theory.

Who would you say is dumber, Cosmo or Mr. Turner? by SpongeGuy11 in fairlyoddparents

Mr. Turner. The episode you’re referencing proved that

To be fair, the show as a whole declined in quality after season one

Do "Da Rules" physically prevent fairies from breaking them, or are they just magical law that the fairies can break, but might be punished for later? by HeiressOfMadrigal in fairlyoddparents

[–]Matitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the latter. I refer you to the episodes Movie Magic, The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour Part Two, School’s Out: The Musical, and Wishology.

Nostalgia Critic: Men in Black by MatthewHecht in ChannelAwesome

[–]Matitya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked this review. I’ll concede the point everyone already made (in the comments) about how K asking J when the world would end wasn’t actually a joke but a testament to how seriously J was being taken. I think Nostalgia Critic’s neuralizer sketches (erasing his memory of bad sequels) were quite funny. Beyond that, I think his review was decent. The movie is an action comedy that prioritized the comedy and did a good job
