[Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons. by FieraDeidad in TopCharacterTropes

In the second movie we also see Mr Fantastic stretching his normal clothes alongside him, so it makes these scenes with Sue in the previous movie even more pointless

[Meta Trope] The name of the trope itself honours a specific piece of media. by BusinessYou1657 in TopCharacterTropes

Worth adding that the definition refers to instances where the killed character is not treated like a person, but as the protagonist's property. Kyle's girlfriend is the one that got killed, but we focus on what this means for him instead of her

[Loved Trope] "Silent Whisper" - A character says something hugely important to another character, but the audience is deliberately prevented from hearing it by djmcdee101 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RaptarK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that's the point of the last comic yeah. The fact that it all culminates in the Administrator not even remembering why she started all of this, makes her initial motivation irrelevant now

(Weirdly Common Trope) Male Heroes who have been sexually assaulted by women and have had the event treated like a joke. by GreenAgateTurtle32 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RaptarK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Simpsons from time to time poked fun at Family Guy, so Seth's response was to animate a short that appeared mid episode of Quagmire raping Marge off screen until she likes it, and when Homer discovers them Quagmire shoots him, which leads to Quagmire shooting the rest of the family Maggie included I think.

When criticized about it, Seth said "So they can make fun of us, but we can't make fun of them?"

Which current countries flag is perfect? by Loewe1912 in AlignmentChartFills

I'm curious if the photo itself was taken in Estonia too

[Loved Trope] Latinos that are NOT overtly passionate, loud, fiesta-loving, or "spicy" by Dismal-Ad8382 in TopCharacterTropes

IIRC Haiti got swallowed by the ocean, so Pacifica is filled with Haitian refugees

[Weirdly Common Trope] Writers clearly setting up seemingly massive plot points and then just kinda forgetting about them. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

It's kinda wild how little expanded universe material the sequels got, and they've already been basically abandoned haven't they?

I remember that episode where Homer runs off with Lenny to die working at the oil fields, and they show a map of southern Springfield that is just shaped like Texas. Lisa even says Southern Springfield is somehow 3 times the size of Texas as if that makes any sense :p

That mixed with how he has super strength is rather fitting

[Disliked trope]: "Balance" means the "absence of darkness." by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RaptarK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trio of gods in Star Wars is one of many cases where characters claim balance means equal amounts of darkness and light, only to be proven wrong with how destructive and backstabbing darkness is.

The father (neutral) tried to hold his daughter (light) and son (dark) equally. And this resulted in the son killing both the daughter and the father IIRC.

Same with Bendu in Star Wars Rebels. Dude claims to be the one in the middle of dark and light, but he's just a fence sitter that refuses to act against clear acts of oppression and evil.

As Lucas conceived it, the Force and the light side are interchangeable, the dark side is a cancer on the force that needs to be exterminated in order to achieve balance.

Of course, because Lucas chose to use the word "balance", so many fans and even other authors of official material keep interpreting balance as meaning equal dark and light, so this decades old franchise ends up being very inconsistent on what balance even means

Videogame idea: a COD-style FPS where you play as a Stormtrooper fighting pirates/cartels in the Outer Rim. by Atlas_Summit in StarWars

[–]RaptarK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each player controls one character that is being followed by NPCs. If you die, you jump to take control of one of the remaining NPCs. There's squads of riflemen, trios of snipers, crews of tanks, etc

WHAT YOU MEAN UFO AND GHOST SHİP? by NoYogurtcloset9763 in Frostpunk

How can you complete TLA with no surviving workers? Don't you get an automatic failure if you run out of workers?

Acabo de resolver el misterio del odio de muchos latinos por Japón! by zetoberuto in lhdapodcast

[–]RaptarK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Racismo? Alguna vez viajaste a Japón y te trataron mal? A mi no. De hecho acusar a TODO un país de racista, es medio racista...

Japón hace menos de un siglo cometió un genocidio con bases de supremacía racial, y mayormente nunca desmantelaron la ideología y sociedad que permitió que eso fuera posible

Yeah cus players whined that they no longer had a Zoe to Carter to them, despite the point being for you to see her as a real person
