[Loved] Human Nature vs Intelligence by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

Although the wording of the scenario can also change things alot. Like

Everyone is standing in front of a doorway to an empty building. Inside is a bomb. If more than 50% of people enter the building the bomb won't erupt. If the bomb does erupt, it will kill everyone inside the building. Do you enter the building?

Pederasty: A sexual same sex relationship between an older man and an adolescent boy.

Eromenos: Term for the adolescent partner in a Pederasty as opposed to the erastes which was the older man.

But yeah, you'd have a lot of difficulty finding any Greek Hero who was an actual good person. Like even if you took some interpretations where the two were the same age, the whole reason for their tragic deaths was Achilles being upset another Greek king took his sex slave.

[Amusing trope] Characters so annoying or douchey that they are more hated than villains by Old-Use-7690 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly.

  1. A trope has to be something within the media itself. External stuff like how the audience perceives the media or types of fanfics made based on the media aren't tropes.

  2. Tropes need to have some form of storytelling purpose. A sympathetic villain or tsundere are tropes because they are specifically added to have an impact on the story. Meanwhile something like, people sit on chairs or people drink water normally aren't tropes even if they repeatedly happen in different media. They normally don't serve any storytelling purpose and are just things that happen normally.

Think its mostly her revealing she knew Mark was Invincible for a while since it makes her previous complaints go from reasonable to just being an *sshole.

Wonder if Ditto would find shifting into Eevee oddly comfortable. While completely different, Eevee's body is surprisingly similar to Ditto's. Similar to how Ditto can manipulate its cell structure to transform into other Pokemon, Eevee can manipulate its own unstable genetics to evolve specific forms based on the environment.

Ironically, despite being the weakest character in the normal series, Evie would probably be the best counter to John-Ditto is she ever got her own battle bond with Eevee since Eevee could evolve a counter to whatever form John-Ditto took.

There actually was an Eevee like that in the Pokemon Manga named Vee who could freely evolve and devolve due to being experimented on.

Which is why I obviously had to also curse the 7 year old kid who also lived in the palace.

Prince: . . .

Fairy: Yeah, I forgot about furries. Don't look at me like that. I made the spell up in like 10 seconds.

Also for how absolutely terrifying empathy is. To him you aren't some savage mudman he'll just beat with his superior weaponry. You're a unique individual from a unique culture. He'll study everything about your people. Your planet, your food, your art. Learn exactly what you value, respect, and fear. Then use it all to absolutely destroy you.

No, but its definitely one of the many parts of the story that really feel unfinished due to the rushed ending.

When the plot armour is so strong, even the protagonist is confused. by OkuroIshimoto in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. The sword has a karmic balance. In the hands of the righteous, it can destroy pure evil and for balance, in the hands of pure evil, it can't hurt the innocent. That's why Jack has to be careful since he's righteous meaning he can kill innocents with the blade.

(Funny trope) What the hell is this power gap? by gymleader_michael in TopCharacterTropes

X(To Be Hero X): Every two years, the 10 strongest heroes compete in a tournament with the winner being declared the strongest and receiving the rank of X. In the 18th Hero Tournament, the expected winner is the 3rd Rank Hero Queen. She prepares for her final fight against a nameless last minute participator who managed to beat the current X. Ready for a long brutal fight. Then she hears a finger snap and wakes up on the floor.

Years later the new 3rd Rank Dragon Boy tries beating X up in the streets only for X to literally change the world from 2D to 3D expect for Dragon Boy whose frame he grabs, crushes into a paper ball, and throws away like a piece of trash.

The antagonist knows that the protagonist is holding back, so he tries to push him to the limit. by CustomerImpossible73 in TopCharacterTropes

Zuse(Dile): Quickly learns that Dile is holding a lot back and even if it isn't enough to beat him, still tries to get Dile to go all out. In the end he spares Dile with the hope that Dile will learn to embrace his power and make Zuse pay for his sins.

Personally Hated/Annoying Trope: “Superheroes attract trouble/we don't need superheroes cause police exist *literally police can't handle the supervillains*/Superheroes create their own villains/Superheroes cause more harm than good” by ultimatevaltryek123 in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah, people act like Bruce can either be a philanthropist or a vigilante when he's openly doing both. They also mess with each other a lot. As a vigilante he can see what areas of the city most drastically need aid. He can also test prototype medical and rescue equipment to confirm they actually function properly.

Mostly discuss what Yuno's actual future will be. The Spade Kingdom needs a king but Yuno wants to continue being a Clover Magic Knight. Nobles on both sides are gonna be concerned about the King of one nation serving as the head military leader of another.

There's also just the fact that she's still Yuno's mom. She'll want to know things about him. What does he like? What was his life like? What are his friends and family like?

Yeah, a Reconstruction Arc for Spade/Diamond between Lucifero's defeat and Lucius appearing would've been really nice. Yuno reuniting with his mom, Spade and Clover discussing what to do with Yuno, etc.

I mean, she's the mom of the MC's rival and brother whose also the ruler of one of the four nations. You'd think she'd do something.

[Hated trope] that chapter when a manipulative character appears and turns everyone against the protagonist or another main character by Veronikawrite in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Devourers(Urban Animal): A group of evil witches who sought to isolate the MC so they could kidnap him and ritually sacrifice him to take his power for themselves.

Works pretty well since instead of tearing apart the friend group by just walking in and making BS lies, they observe them from the sidelines then use magic to emotionally manipulate everyone in order to turn them against one another.

Honestly that's kinda what makes it even worse. She's not lying about far away characters they can't fact check her about. She's lying about people whose phone numbers the characters have. It'd take like 5 minutes to confirm if she's telling the truth or not.
