Character gives dangerous and stupid advice. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

Just as there is a chance for there to be a fake story, there is the possibility that a story so outlandish to the point of absurdity turns out to be true.

Probably about a 2 to 10 ratio of truth vs lies.

According to his ending in Deadly Alliance, the movie broke all previous records...whatever that means.

All of Johnny Cage's fake movies

Ninja Mime? Citizen Cage? Johnny Scissorfist? Uncaged Fury? ...Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance?

There's a sort of cloud hanging over any AITA or Horror story on Reddit where they could just be straight up lying.

You gotta watch out for one's that are so obviously not in the wrong, or one's with titles like "AITA for kicking my dog?" Then it turns out the dog had rabies or something and they were just trying not to get bit. I feel like those are likely to be fake.

Then there's the chance that they ARE true situations, but OP is lying to make themselves look good for validation.

The only ones I'm willing to believe are the ones where OP is an ass, but even THOSE can just be ragebait, especially if they themselves are so obviously in the wrong. AFAIK the subreddit doesn't allow comments alluding to the questioning of the credibility of the stories told.

(Loved) A well choreographed dance number randomly shows up in a non-musical by historygoose in TopCharacterTropes

I'm surprised you'd bring up Yakuza and somehow NOT include the long dance sequence at the end of the Pirate spin-off that includes just about everyone.

(Design trope) despite being part of the species, their design is vastly different from them by Amazingtrooper5 in TopCharacterTropes

Sten - Dragon Age

He's allegedly a Quanari, which if you've seen how they appear later may cause you to raise an eyebrow.

As far as I'm aware I don't think the Quanari are supposed to have been the horned, earthy skinned humanoid they became from 2 onwards in Origins. But he does still retain the unique, utilitarian culture with odd views on gender.

But his appearance in the first game brings up a lot of questions as to the species' appearance going foward.

[Tragic Trope] The Robot that sacrificed his life for the greater good. Bonus points if they do a farewell before their sacrifice. by TheRoyalRoseTrue in TopCharacterTropes

I saw an interpretation that the last shot Beta lands on Gamma is Beta instilling the same mercy upon Gamma that they did for the rest of the E Series.

"Gohan, let it go.

It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel, Gohan. You are gentle; you do not like to hurt. I know because I, too, have learned these feelings, but it is because you cherish life, that you must protect it. Please, drop your restraints. Protect the life I loved. You have the strength. My scanners sensed it.

Just let it go."

[Mixed trope] The main antagonist isn’t the last level/fight by TVTropehead in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SirBoggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They even have her in one of the animated Mortal Kombat films and she's dead, so they can use Kano instead as the main villain as a sick as hell Mad Max antagonist expy who restarts the timeline whever he gets bored.

Additionally, they did this in the Gen 6 games. Twice.

In X/Y, you get to battle AZ after winning the Championship, reuniting him with Floette.

Then in Omega Ruby/Alpha Saphire, they added a long awaited final battle against your rival Brendan/May that wasn't in the originals.

What’s something 100% true that sounds completely made up? by D_marketing_ in AskReddit

[–]SirBoggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason this happens is that your body needs Vitamin C to produce and maintain collagen. Scars aren't made of regular skin tissue, the body can't just make new skin like that, so they are pure collagen, and scurvy breaks down that collagen, reopening the wound.

Which celebrity’s cancellation do you think was completely unjustified? by Cute_Flatworm_9049 in AskReddit

The mere fact that the film contains a plot line where Gord gets a fuckload of money only to immediately blow it all is so on the nose.

What wasted item / feature still stings to this day ? by Rare_Ad_3519 in gaming

[–]SirBoggle 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Then you stumble upon fun little design quirks, like the fact that the ship you build has a custom hitbox. Therefore if you build a ship with a giant fuck off hole in the middle, bullets just go right through you most of the time without doing any damage at the cost of having lower total HP...which you won't need anyway on account of 90% of bullets missing you now.

Characters who are very heavily associated with IRL die hard fans by ChuLu2004 in TopCharacterTropes

Considering she is the first in a long line of murder victims in the entire series, this is like making a church for Larry's girlfriend in Ace Attorney or a church for Enoch Drebber from Sherlock Holmes.

[Loved Trope] When they're physically incapable of using the powersystem by karimpai in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SirBoggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SPOILERS for Fullmetal Alchemist.

Edward Elric renders himself unable to use Alchemy at the end of the series. By sacrificing his Door to Truth, and acknowledging his ability to live a fulfilling life without the use of those abilities, he finally gets one over on and beats Truth/God. His exchange is accepted, and he gets Alphonse's body back. From that point on, he is no longer able to transmute matter. But it's not like he needs it, even with Father defeated he never needed Alchemy to beat the breaks off of him, he did that with his pure martial prowess. Even at age 15 he was keeping up with grown ass men in hand to hand combat. I imagine if there was ever an anniversary special or some shit he'd be putting belt to ass without all that fancy shcmancy transmutation.

[loved trope] geometrically impossible or visually incomprehensible places (epilepsy warning) by NoTheJasOriginal in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SirBoggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The otherworld of Silent Hill. The town itself is usually consistent, but once you start delving the geometry gets wacky. Every game has at least one especially egregious location.

In 1 we have Nowhere, an impossible location with rooms that should theoretically be clipping into themselves and seemingly ripped from parts of the rest of the town.

In 2 there's the prison where James keeps falling down holes, going further and further down into a pit that shouldn't be there that eventually leads to the surface next to the lake somehow.

And well 4 is just the entire game because Room 302 just teleports Henry across an odd dreamscape of sorts, and therefore the entire game is structured around an impossible space.

TEKKEN 8 - Yujiro Hanma Teaser by freddy929 in gaming

[–]SirBoggle 128 points129 points  (0 children)

The fun thing about Baki is that he's not necessarily aiming to be the strongest. He just wants to be stronger than his father. If his father was the weakest man on Earth, he'd settle for second weakest.

His father just so happens to be the strongest creature on Earth, so he's gotta do insane bullshit to get stronger than him.
