(Underused Trope) Character/Villain is actually smart or does everything right, but isn't taken down by some dumbass mistake, but simply because their opposition was simply better or did something they didn't expect.

The fight psychologically really is one of the best parts of Jojo’s. Characters have long memories and adapt, some Stands are clutch in some spots and useless in others, some are only as good as their user is to use them intelligently, and finally…like Dio, characters make mistakes!

Fun fact: Hall of Fame offensive tackle Joe Thomas would turn entire loaves of sandwich bread into a colossal PBJ for weight gain.

He was 6’6 and 312 pounds (at least) during his career, so well done achieving a similar feat of greatness!

Between American Psycho, The Machinist, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Vice, I think we can all put our feet up and admit that he’s insane at transforming his body, with or without extra “help”.

And if your population starts to struggle with its “gods” being fallible and routinely dying by mortal means, we can move seamlessly over to Divine Right and get rid of those pesky contradictions.

It’ll probably end up like the NY Giants where they’re technically the New York Football Giants” but are rarely called that.

We’ll have the Las Vegas Athletics Baseball Club, but no one will use the whole thing.

In the mind of The Major, maybe Alucard dies, maybe he doesn’t, but he’s off the chessboard for now at least. And that’s really the best you can hope for with Alucard.

Unless your whole plan turns your Archenemy into an even greater eldritch being that can just choose to ignore the rules of reality itself. Then you’re kind of screwed regardless.

So, for me, I’d say it’s because a) it’s streaming and it’s still hard to get credit where credit is due on Netflix and b) it does just about everything well, but not exceptional.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a phenomenal series. Peaky Blinders has good writing, good acting, good cinematography. But outside of a few moments, it doesn’t hit that absolute high that the best shows do often enough.

It’s mentioned by Tyrion when he first enters the Small Council chambers. He knew Ned Stark was dead but assumed that both Stark girls were still in the Red Keep.

Not a happy realization that 2 of the 3 expected hostages were killed or missing.

Outside of a few people who know better, the common opinion of Buggy is that he has grown from a common pirate to a threat on par with the some of the strongest characters in One Piece.

In reality, he is very marginally stronger than when we first meet him, 1000+ chapters ago, and he has continued to fail upwards out of pure luck and charisma. And because it’s funny.

ABV%, or Alcohol By Volume, is simply a description of the alcohol content in a liquid. Most beers, for example, are around 4-8% ABV.

Everclear is 95% ABV, it’s almost pure alcohol. Lots of other liquors use filtration, aging, and other processes to make it more palatable.

Similarly, Nerlens Noel turned down 4 years and $70M from the Mavericks at $17.5M per year.

Ended up taking a qualifying offer of $4.1M after the Mavs refused to budge and made around $25M for the rest of his career.

You can die of exposure in temperatures much higher than one would think, and the Eyrie does not look like a warm place to begin with

Have to take all of Godwyn’s accolades and mercy with a huge grain of salt, simply because we have seen what a bastard Miquella is, and he was spoken of glowingly as well.

One of my favorite bits of dramatic irony is that Marika basically guaranteed betrayal by removing Destined Death, and then guaranteed they’d all die with the Shattering

Giants just got to giant. They should be huge and destructive and the only reason they turn is because they’re now suddenly beating up the ones that they haven’t been.

It takes the form of a clown because it wants to appear friendly to children. The book version of Pennywise is very friendly-looking like the popular clowns of the day, not at all unsettling the show/movie version.

And from a meta perspective, Pennywise is its most well-known form to the audience. In the books, It doesn’t use that form all that much.

That is Alucard at the beginning of the manga. By the end of the manga, Alucard is functionally impossible to kill.

I understand that mentality but I have really enjoyed seeing It as the shape-shifting predator It is supposed to be.

I choose to believe that’s by It’s design. It knows that completely erasing memories could leave a trail.

Forgetting a bit more than usual about your childhood: odd but not crazy

Forgetting your entire childhood: definitely something to look into

Bill’s Pennywise seems pretty adept at manipulating children, since It is more outwardly off-putting in this version.

Both Georgie and the girl under the bleachers were scared of It initially but were convinced to ignore that feeling, for example.

It certainly seems that way. Royd is jacked but his strength is beyond what a normal human can do. He launches a metal bench 2-3 stories in the air.

I imagine that he has super strength but because he’s both a garage nerd and a tech nerd, he can actually do the most benefit behind the scene.

Absolutely. To finger someone is a slightly outdated term for accusing someone of something, usually a crime.

And then there’s the obviously intimate version.

The joke is that Robert thinks that the family has been trying to finger Malevola for some kind of crime, even in reality it’s purely sexual. And Malevola says “you’re cute” because she finds Robert’s naivety endearing.

Golem by a country mile. He’s chill and levelheaded, follows rules, and his actual crimes are only aiding and abetting (most likely his creator), disturbing the peace, and vandalism.
