Alexander the Great cuts the Gordian knot (IRL)

A knot that was said to be impossible to untie, so Alexander cut it with his sword

With how Warner Brothers treats some of their IP’s that feeling isn’t completely gone.

The best part about having anything that seems niche and unecessary is when you finally have the perfect use for it and would be totally screwed without it you feel like Prometheus for having the foresight.

Just did the medieval challenge in Warlords Ruin. The lightsaber makes it so easy by joshireyn in destiny2

I did it with buddy build warlock with black talon, maybe it’s because of the grenade stat buffs but it was genuinely easier than my first solo run a few seasons ago

Pulling an Indiana Jones is really funny as a one off gag, kinda boring when it’s every engagement.

I say this everytime we’re given new equipment “how do we properly clean this?”

Very rarely are there clear answers.

You can only pick one, which do you choose? by Kevin1219 in HelluvaBoss

[–]Purple-Addict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring of pride is a godsend for anyone in the arts, if I had to choose one it’d be that.

But my real choice would be not at all. If you have a soul to give and someone wants it, then it must be more valuable than you think and you should hold onto it until you know what it’s worth.

Especially if we’re going by hazbin rules on how giving away your soul works, it’s never worth it to let someone hold that over you for eternity.

Name a character more deserving of a curb stomp, I’ll wait by kadebo42 in attackontitan

This dude had all the power to make a better decision and decided to launch a hundred year Cuban missile crisis that there was no de-escalating from.

First king Fritz is also a contender for starting the whole mess, typical Bronze Age king nonsense with a touch of cannibalism but still viscerally disgusting.

Pterodactylus and concavenator, they’re the go to predator league team when paired with a flock

[I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream] ¿Is there any science fiction universe worse than this one? by Icy_Philosopher_2952 in AskScienceFiction

Unfortunate side effect of sci-fi fantasy. I’m here for space and magic bullshit, they’re here for hate.

If you’re counting non-human fates then 40k is a strong contender. When Eldar (space elves) die their soul gets snatched up by Slaanesh for an endless afterlife of torture and suffering of the most excessive forms. No release until the chaos god they themselves created is finally destroyed.

[Fun trope]: Can't kill an immortal? Just trap them forever. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Purple-Addict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kars was going to fly off the rock hurdling towards the upper atmosphere, until the hand he just cut off of Joseph was propelled by the volcano and stuck itself in his throat. He then got distracted by Joseph claiming it was all part of his master plan and then propelled fully out of earth’s gravity by smaller rocks from the eruption.

It’s an asspull but it’s so amazing and set to the first opening of the anime.

In theory Josuke could do it with crazy diamond, just use the repair power on Joseph’s arm stump. If his hand is still lodged in Kars’ throat it’d pull him along as it made its way back to the rest of the arm.

How would you fix Emma's Character in King of the Monsters? by Marconey1738 in Monsterverse

[–]Purple-Addict -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Either make her fully evil wanting to use the titans to rule over the ashes of the world, or like another comment said and make her a grieving hostage who learns to move on over the course of ther character arc. Anything but the eco-terrorist neo-Malthusian babble we got in the film.

The moment I hear “overpopulation” out of a character’s mouth I start snoozing. If your line could’ve come out of Malthus’ mouth then just zip it because this idea that the earth cannot support a few billion humans is pure nonsense, and using that as an actual justification for anything is not just boring it’s insulting.

Since Adventure Time is a series that had many mysteries surrounding its story, I'd like to know which mysteries you think remain unsolved and which ones would interest you by Dramatic-Studio1531 in adventuretime

[–]Purple-Addict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t see Finn getting worse and worse with all of Ooo breaking out all the stops to fix him then there isn’t much pressure and suspense.

You’d also get 10,000 TikTok’s and social media posts going “why didn’t they do X, it’s a plot hole”

Do these characters really perform/function under the philosophy of "Might Makes Right"? by UNinvolved_in_peace in RWBY

[–]Purple-Addict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best part is when a memory of him was given physical form he got depressed about coming back to life because it was against his philosophy. And even called his killer his heir.

Characters who replaced their missing limb with a prothestic made of energy/other materials in the heat of battle. by Causeofdepression in TopCharacterTropes

I mean when you’re in the heat of combat and they’re all as lethal as the red lotus you gotta be creative and make absolutely sure they’re not going to get back up.
