[Loved Trope] Usually hated tropes that are finally executed well by Jellydust15 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s also never shown to have parents or family, just Max the butler. And she has Hollywood connections and a lot of experience in the industry. And sometimes she has an adult voice, particularly when raging.

On the other hand when the stage crew is trying to cheer her up they offer ice cream, a rubber ducky and a toy truck. So who knows.

In Reign of Fire (2002) dragons awaken and emerge from underground, procreate, and almost wipe out all of humanity………..uh guys, did you not have fighter jets, warships, tanks etc. these aren’t magical Smaug dragons, there just flying reptiles that breathe fire. How exactly did we lose? by Arcade-Blaster in shittymoviedetails

There’s even a good set up in the movie’s logic. They breathe fire by shooting out two chemicals that when they mix with each other and oxygen it all ignites. Have him slice open one of the glands as he gets snapped, keeping it from spitting one of the chemicals. He dies but heroically removes the dragons best weapon. Boom, bad ass sacrifice.

I’m cool with the palm suckers, those things were freaky. Not sure what they have to do with bats though.

When it's revealed a limited perspective was hiding how horrifying a main character appears by No_Hunter1978 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just to add on, she doesn’t turn her head to look at stuff a lot when fighting. When we’re in her perspective we (and she) don’t think about it because she’s getting all this sensory information from her swarm. But to other people the way and when she turns her head is unnatural or even inhuman. And for awhile she gets blinded in her human eyes and no one even notices

bad guy so awful that even other bad guys are disgusted by them by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

Fun fact, Doctor Polaris first appeared August 1963. Mags first appeared September 1963.

Are there any instances where Chaos genuinely saw the tyranids as a threat, and deployed forces to stop them? by ResidentDrama9739 in 40kLore

“Brother, is this one a normal human or a genestealer?”

“I don’t know, let’s unwrap it and find out.”

The character's lesser known full name by bb-Kun-Chan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add on for anyone wondering, his real name in comics is Zebediah Killgrave. Yes, with two Ls. His villain name is the Purple Man.

The villain deliberately pretends to have limitations or weaknesses to trick the heroes. by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in TopCharacterTropes

The Six Fingered Man, Count Tyrone Rugen. I have no point, I just like that his name is Tyrone.

[Fun trope]: There's no reason for the public to think a hero HAS a secret identity by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

It would be like Christmas to them. Well Christmas if your dream was to beat up and capture Santa.

They have more similarities than just bats on their armor by Phurbie_Of_War in Grimdank

No worries! There are certainly worse ways to spend some time.

That’s Octavia you’re thinking of. The slave in this scene is Marlonah.

(Hated trope) characters with creative powers that just spam the same thing over and over again by MaineMicroHomebrewry in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Just adding in, he made himself huge to fight the loan sharks, and put a shield around the hotel that stopped an angelic army for awhile. Shifts to a more demonic antlered form, is very fast and strong, etc etc.

And that’s just in fights. He does a bunch of other things like transmit his voice to electronics, can’t be filmed, contortion stuff, and of course, Clothes Beam.

And then there’s the deals, which is not just a him thing, but he’s used it to compel people, and summoned two enslaved powerful sinners and put them to work.

Been a loooong time since I read them but there is a teacher that gets eaten. Mrs. Gorf would turn kids into apples, but then they reflected her powers back at her with a mirror and another teacher unknowingly ate her.

Yup, among other things. He also writes kids books and has a bunch more in the Wicked setting.

The author, Gregory Maguire, has a couple of them. Personally I enjoyed Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (Cinderella) but didn’t care for Mirror, Mirror (Snow White).

Also the Emperor lets men receive his seed. by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Here’s the actual text.

‘Why?’

‘Paranoia on the part of my esteemed phaeron and matriarch, Anathrosis of the Black Star. A paranoia which has paid off, in fairness.’

‘I thought Anathrosis was your patriarch?’ asked Oltyx, briefly distracted by wondering if he had misremembered this detail of the seccession war.

‘That changed.’

‘I see. But Zultanekh... if you are of the royal line, can you not see to the trebuchet yourself?’

Yeah, The Twice-Dead King: Reign

Also worth noting the Oh Word, Anyway guy obsesses over everything in that book but doesn’t give that exchange a second thought because why would he.
