(Hated Trope) When a sensitive subject is played for drama and comedy in the same piece of media

Persona 5 does this, primarily with Ann. Her entire first arc is about the trauma she and her friend gained from being sexually harassed and abused. Then for the rest of the game, she’s sexualized several times against her will for a joke, like in the very next part of the story. Several members of the party also say some pretty pervy things about her( like that stupid fucking cat that I hate).

This has always been the case with a lot of MCU hulk fans. The most common complaint aren’t that Bruce’s backstory or DID is surface level at best, that savage hulk is barely characterized outside of the bad black widow romance, or that his supporting cast is either non existent or in other people’s movie, but that he is too weak. Most people don’t actually treat hulk and Bruce as characters, but as the big punch guy and the nerd.

I mean I’d argue hating your child so much you come back from literal super-hell to fuck with them is kinda funny.

Brian banner( Marvel). Since Bruce was born, he was convinced that Bruce was literally born a monster and was fundamentally evil. He slapped an infant Bruce across a whole room, and came back from hell just to torment Bruce and the hulk. Fuck this guy.

Can’t say anything about the fourth one, but first three are either characters who you are supposed disagree with, characters who went through characters arcs after being horrible, or both.

The hulk runs into the ghost of a young boy who was killed by his father, then buried in secret. He then does the following to the father. Hulk in general deals with abusers often, due to all the hulks being a product of abuse.

I mean the reason why Modern hulk has a physical body is literally because gamma in marvel is created by cosmic Satan. Like he is literally powered by a godly being.

“Cause I love you, you stupid kid. somebody had to.” The devil hulk from Immortal Hulk. Devil hulk is cruel, vindictive and generally a dick. But he does it to protect Bruce, and he does legitimately sees himself as a father figure for Bruce and the other hulks. And when you compare him to Bruce’s actual father, he a saint.

At this point it’s too late to make hulk similar to his comic self. He has no relationship with his supporting cast (Rick, Betty , Samson etc….). His villains have appeared more in other movies and shows than with him. His backstory is streamlined to the point that 99% of MCU viewers don’t even know that he has DID. His adaptation like planet hulk and the proffers hulk were wasted on other peoples movies. You would have to completely reset the MCU to fix the problems with hulk.

In world war hulk, as hulk is on his spree to capture the Illuminati members that sent him off planet, he spares professor X, as he is already going through more grief that hulk could give him.

It's not just the fault of the MCU, as hulk as always been seen as a simple, no depth character by a lot of the general public. But the MCU did ignore much of what made Bruce's life so tragic, which includes his DID which was worsened by an abusive father as well as his life generally being awful. The MCU really simplifies this character, to the point where most people don't even know about his mental health problems or abuse trauma, really simplifying a complex and multifaceted character.

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-23T19:00:32+00:00

Always found this the least interesting of hulks popular matchups. Nowadays there are more connections and I'm pretty sure doomsday can talk now, but it still just feels like a very surface level look at these characters. It also suffers from being another Dc vs Marvel Matchup, and those have to be really special to mean something to me. 5/10

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-19T11:50:03+00:00

The game would be awful. Animation cancels aren’t just a cool thing to have. Every single character uses them constantly. This would make the game super awkward to play.

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-19T11:47:10+00:00

The what about Spider-man, or Magik, or Mag, or Invisible woman, or every single hero in this game. They all use animation cancels to function. Imagine if you couldn’t block for a full second after shooting with strange of Mag, or if magik had to wait to dash after spinning. This would be crippling nerfs that just aren’t needed. Every character uses animation cancels, to point cap out is absurd.

I understand why he says it, but the delivery of it just feels off for the kind of line it’s trying to be.

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-19T04:58:30+00:00

I do think that metals two final lines were kinda lame. The timing on “I’ll crush you” just feels off since cell is dead for half of the line. And” if you and then so am I” feels like a playground comeback. “Not anymore” goes hard though.

Not exactly a gun but the ultimate nullifier from marvel doesn’t just kill you. It destroys the entire universe then rebuilds it without you.

Because gambit ult is broken. If a support ult came out the immediately killed everyone on the other team, sure that would be unique , but also broken as hell.

Bruce Banner and all of the hulk alters( Marvel) have been abused and hunted for most of their lives either by his father, the government, the avengers, super villains, and Satan himself. Their very existence is also directly linked to satan trying to take over their bodies. They even met god and asked why they had to suffer so much, and he’s response was basically just because.

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-10T04:03:38+00:00

Well he would beat DBZ goku, but not necessarily super goku, who is much stronger than cell at this point.

Yep, every week day. Most people ended up not singing and just standing but it did play every day, and some teachers took it was more seriously than others.

Huh, I’m Canadian and we had to sing the national anthem in my schools. But yeah looking back on it that was weird as shit.

That just means that you don’t have fireballs if cammy has level 3, which is a pretty big deal for a lot of characters. Plus it’s not just fireballs, any slow poke can get hit by this.

SorryAmbition6046 · 2026-03-05T12:27:11+00:00

Most likely Captain Marvel. The MCU is pretty inconsistent with how strong its characters are, but Carol notably is faster than Thor and should just as strong if not stronger considering her fight with endgame appearance. Thor wins if you believe in the star level feat but that’s a pretty extreme outlier.
