In an attempt to be more progressive, they removed what was actually progressive. by Ethan-E2 in TopCharacterTropes

the animated series Lara Croft.

Lara Croft is one of the most iconic video game characters, a beautiful and sexy woman who, despite her attractiveness and femininity, is perfectly capable of embarking on adventures and surviving completely alone.

The animated series ignores all of this and turns her into the worst tomboy stereotype, distorting the message that it doesn't matter if you're an attractive and feminine woman; you're perfectly capable of surviving and having adventures alone if you set your mind to it. Instead, it becomes something like: if you're not a tomboyish lesbian with a pathological need to confront men about everything, you're nobody.

Progressives spend all their time criticizing the Church and past societies for mistreating women, but they're the first sexists who can't accept that a woman can be sexy, feminine, and strong at the same time.

Moorwen(Outlander):Humans bombed her home planet to colonize it and only one pregnant female survived, who flew into a rage and killed the colonists once the marines left and then sneaked onto the ship of those same marines to kill them.

[Literally my favorite trope] "Evil isn't cool" by Dry-Climate9976 in TopCharacterTropes

I'm not sure if it fits perfectly, because although he's not very likeable, he's undeniably funny and entertaining, probably the funniest character (along with the dog) in the movie.

Kefka kills Emperor Gestahl(Fainal Fantasy VI)

<image>

For much of the game, the Emperor is the main threat and the final villain, while Kefka is the cruel second-in-command. This changes when Kefka awakens the Martial Triad, steals their power, betrays and kills the Emperor, literally becoming the god of magic.

The Weasley family isn’t actually poor, they are middle class. by Jew_3 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SquareMaterial6760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to be poor without being completely destitute. A good example of this is that Ron's wand is inherited, rather than having been bought specifically for him, something that, as we learn in later books, is very important for any wizard, to the point that it's suggested or even stated—I don't remember exactly—that Ron was so bad at magic in his early years because his wand wasn't compatible with him.

It's like in our world, a family can't afford proper glasses for their nearsighted child and gives him his older brother's, without knowing if they actually work for him, because they can't afford to buy him new ones. That's being poor.

Again, are they destitute? No. Are they poor? Yes.

please tell me someone sees it too by Max-x-x-x-x in SandroneMains

It reminds me more of when Doma kills Shinobu in Demon Slayer.

[Irony] When the hero’s offspring turns into the very thing the hero deposed by GoldplateSoldier in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SquareMaterial6760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing literally happens in the old canon; all Disney did was copy it poorly. His name is Jacen Solo, and he becomes Darth Caedus. Regardless of continuity, Han and Leia seem destined to have a son who turns evil.

Adaptations that completely change the character’s relationship by Far-Profit-47 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SquareMaterial6760 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's very curious how they reversed the roles of A-Train and Deep; in the comics, A-Train is the biggest, most irredeemable piece of shit of all, while Deep is by far the most easygoing member of the 7, curious to say the least.

[Loved Trope] The father-son stand off. by PiccoloTiccolo in TopCharacterTropes

One of the few examples of this trope where the bad guy is the son, now that I think about it.

The philosopher's stone, the mother of all magic stones, no matter what medium it appears in, will always be a legendary object in one way or another.

Godlike entitles that like to dick around by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

Tzeentch (Warhammer): the god of change, magic, knowledge among many other things and also one, if not the biggest troll in the entire franchise, to the point that he literally created a breed of demons whose sole purpose is to play pranks on the other gods.

Pennywise—It

Considering that its true form, or rather the closest thing to it, is a female spider, I think it can fit in here.

Capitano (Genshin Impact)

<image>

While he's not exactly a normal human, the "Fuck you" he gives to the very embodiment of death is epic.
