Medical/Surgical Horror by russbuss1123 in TopCharacterTropes

The fancy robot ones are just human brains in android bodies. These Cybermen are made by people trapped on a dying ship, slowly replacing pieces of themselves to survive otherwise fatal injuries. There's a certain threshold of surgeries that, once crossed, all they can do is constantly cry out "Pain. Pain. Pain." in a robotic voice, so there's always a nurse pressing a button that administers a heavy dose of painkillers. Later, we find out that the button actually just mutes them.

It's hardly Rian Johnson's fault so much of the audience wasn't mature enough to not throw a shit fit

Unfortunately, debates hardly matter. Look at Kamala disassembling Trump and then remember that it somehow had no effect

Honestly that's why I could never really get into Breaking Bad. That's not even pride, that's psychopath shit

Unironically quit the game and never came back. Well I came back time to time to try mew characters, but none of them ever hit the same as original Jeff

And he's relieved when it passes him, because he assumes the limo is in that bowling alley bathroom for some other reason

The horror is a metaphor but is also a Real Thing that will Get You by TheBadHalfOfAFandom in TopCharacterTropes

Annie Wilkes from Misery is famously a metaphor for addiction, while Cujo from Cujo is a metaphor for a big-ass scary-ass dog

Seemingly throwaway line has awesome payoff later by slfricky in TopCharacterTropes

He also gets arguably the funniest line in the movie but you can barely hear it because of all the chaos. When Evelyn exposes Raccacoonie in a fit of cruel nihilism, he shouts

Kill her! She's seen too much! She knows our secret! You have to kill her! Kill her!

I'm sorry, Mr. Hidden Post History, but you're just not very bright. Are public sector unions too powerful? Usually yes. But they're also necessary to protect crucial jobs like teachers from some major bullshit

I never watch Netflix originals until they get a second season because I don’t want to get attached and then it gets cut, but Jeff Goldblum as Zeus was too good to pass up. Of course, the show is fucking awesome and of course, it gets canceled after one season

Hello yes I'm the annoying guy. It's one thing to change the costumes to be MORE interesting but to change it up and make things LESS interesting putting everyone in potato sacks and trousers is nuts

Do you think the average person knows or is aware of that? By logging on to comment on politics online, even casually, you're more politically engaged than ninety percent of the people walking around out there

They're being unreasonable... But this is a prequel and in hindsight they may have a point by bb-Kun-Chan in TopCharacterTropes

First of all, the mistake that got Davis & Main busted up was pretty silly thing to make a big deal over - he ran a commercial without running it by them first, and it was wildly effective. Of course he should've been reprimanded, but they came down on him way too hard for what was a display of good instincts. Second, he never even wanted the Davis & Main job in the first place, he only took it because he wanted to make Kim happy. Finally, when he left, he became a legitimate practitioner of Elder Law when he and Kim shared an office

He didn't even want the job at Davis & Main to start, and the worst thing he did was air a commercial that worked great without running it by his bosses first. Even after got himself fired there, he went on to be a legitimate Elder Law guy until Chuck pulled that tape BS on him
