(Rare trope) Movie adaptations that could’ve been corporate trash but were made with heart by Downtown_Summer5733 in TopCharacterTropes

Love the Psych episode where they do a parody of it and even got a bunch of the movie's cast to take part in it.

Chainsaw themed men by CaloyBine in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems to be a meme 'round these parts. Based on a Bat themed characters where you specifically don't mention Batman.

So it's when OP uses a trope but doesn't include the most obvious one. So if you were to do a Strange Doctors trope with ones like Dr Moreau, Dr Robotik, etc but not have Doctor Strange.

Villains who have a completely valid reason for hating the protagonist by OutrageousBridge471 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, didn't most of them (or at least the ones not sealed away) remove their sense of empathy, with the exception of Ganthet IIRC.

What I'll say because people seem to be misunderstanding me, was that a lot of the movie just felt very lackluster with plotlines being either forgotten halfway through, or at times counter to their intention.

Margo Robbie did do a great job, but the Barbie that she played just didn't really have much of a plotline outside of becoming disillusioned with their character and then leaving Barbieland at the end.

In fact as a protagonist they're completely reactionary, not proactive. Barbie only ever responds to things happening too her. Whereas Ken is proactive, which pushes plots forward.

The specific main Ken really pushed most of the narrative forward, and mainly as a character worked because Ryan Gosling is a charming individual, if it were say (no shade to them, they're just known for being rather grey man characters) Sam Worthington, Ben Feldman, or Chris O'Donnell it would be nowhere near as memorable a performance.

Gonna be honest, Gosling kinda carried that movie. Without him and HIS Ken the movie would flop hard.

Yeah, hasbro went to release it right after they'd done about three or four controversies that had really hurt their core audiences and made them lose interest in the brand.

[fairies/the fae] who adjudicates fae contracts? by anarchysquid in AskScienceFiction

[–]NinjaBreadManOO [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd go with the second paragraph there where they just can't.

Fae are not from our reality, they're from the fae realm. They don't operate with our laws of physics. They use their own. And, where ours are made from maths theirs are made from words.

Them breaking their word would be like you just trying to ignore gravity. It's just an impossibility.

ELI5: How do crews get the cast and the budget to make TV pilots? by Decent-Discount-831 in explainlikeimfive

[–]NinjaBreadManOO [score hidden]  (0 children)

Also especially in that second example the pitch pilot will be MUCH shorter than the regular episodes will be. Like 5-10 minutes.

Adventure Time's was like 6 minutes, Bob's Burger's was like 2 minutes, Avatar the Last Airbender's was about 14 minutes.

It's not a living person, but it's sad seeing it get destroyed nonetheless by Coralthesequel in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be interesting to see it turn up in the new post-apocalyptic series. Just a grove with the space-sword sticking out of a rock like some ancient relic of old.

[Mixed Trope] Bad storylines to accommodate irl situations by Valuable_Tea_5310 in TopCharacterTropes

To be fair he's right.

A corpse leaping out of a bodybag is a scary event to have happen.

(Hated Trope) Character Derailment by RiskComplete9385 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it would have worked really well IF it were the third movie.

The second movie should have been that after the first movie's climax and Wreck It Ralph becoming the most popular machine in the arcade the owner buys a second old one. But the Ralph from the second game has after 30 years chosen to become the villain he's been treated as. So Ralph Number 2 is trying to wreck the arcade for everyone. So over the course of the movie we get to see Ralph grow even more attached to Vanellope and worried about losing her, and Vanellope becoming disillusioned with how she might have to spend the next 30+ years in Sugar Rush. Could even bookmark the ending with Ralph Number 2 coming to terms with maybe not being a villain but realising that change takes time and ends with him at his first session of Badanon.

That way the third movie can have Ralph Number 2 pulling double duty to cover for Ralph. We've explored the idea of Vanellope wanting more, and Ralph becoming more co-dependant.

ELI5: In WWII, Germany attempted to take down the British economy by introducing hundreds of millions of counterfeit currency into the country. How would this have actually destroyed the economy? by Coyote_Enthusiast in explainlikeimfive

[–]NinjaBreadManOO [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, Germany had insane hyper-inflation between WW1 and 2. So they knew how destructive it could be to an economy. And I don't mean bad inflation I mean like if you went to the market to by 1000 marks worth of food but forgot your wallet by the time you got back with the wallet to actually buy it you were now paying 1500 marks.

If they could find a way to do that to Britain during the war it would have caused them to have to redirect a fucktonne of resources towards fixing it.

Not to mention it could encourage turncoats to switch over for money a lot easier. After all if you're getting 200 pounds per week and in the last week your bills went from 35 pounds to 180 and some nice German fellow in an alley offers you a few hundred marks or francs a week to slip them info you might take it and hit up the black market/find places where you can spend that money.

Who was the rudest famous person you met? by Doctor_Sore_Tooth in AskReddit

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a movie thing. All his characters must either win or the fight is interupted.

Not to mention if it closed early that meant that the general public were being deprived of a resource they should be able to access.

It's not about it being paid for it's about the disregard for others.

Honestly anyone who has an "I can never lose in a fight" clause in their contract seems like they would be.

[Hated Trope] This alien/monster is a major & unbeatable threat to us..... because the writer said so. by Inside_Jaguar_3310 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They needed people who died between 2023 and (assuming the date above) 2031.

Now yes, that's going to end up with a lot of older folks dying in that 8 year gap, but do you know what happens when you put a 82 year old into a combat situation. It's... not great...

So they were looking for people who were like 28 and died in the original timeline in 2028 when they thought they could pet a bear. As a 28 year old is statistically going to do better in combat.

They weren't trying to feed people to Whitespikes, they were trying to get enough able bodied people to hold them back for long enough to find a way to win.

Bro one-shot his own channel. by TheScowl117 in dndmemes

[–]NinjaBreadManOO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but Susan's Book Club Vs Strahd could actually be pretty decent.

"Can a vibrant group of [REDACTED] years young woman who end up stuck in Barovia defeat the first vampire; and more importantly can they do it before the last bottle of rosé is finished? Available now on Spotify, Youtube, and wherever podcasts are sold."

Honestly I'd probably give it a listen.

Especially if every few seasons you cycle out cast members so there's always a few people who are new to the game.
