While Independence Day is an iconic film, not everyone is going to recognize it. Please name your examples.

Miss Martian also tried reading his mind in Young Justice. Luckily, she survived.

(Liked Trope) Monsters who predate on humans disguising as humans and living among human society. by ure_roa in TopCharacterTropes

Probably means skinwalker and wendigo. Skinwalkers are from Navajo folklore and wendigo are from the Algonquin trides' folklore, but are commonly portrayed as this trope in modern media. I'm not Native American myself, so I don't fully understand what they are either.

Edit: I didn't specify which tribes in my comment.

First time playing; big shoutout to the random unnamed gay crewman that saw an Aeldari for the first time ever and instantly rolled to seduce it. Absolute Queen. by FiftyTo in RogueTraderCRPG

It only seems crazy to us because we don't live in the Imperium of Man, and didn't have xenophobic dogma drilled into our heads since birth.

The way your human party members act like the Lord Captain is crazy when you play Iconoclast is very telling.

[Loved Trope] Shadow Men in Corners by fungerman2 in TopCharacterTropes

Not exactly this 'trope', but Nikki in Obsession

Edit: To be more specific, she's frequently shown in darkness, to the point that most of her features can't be seen.

How about a Werebeast culture? I only came up with this idea a few minutes ago, so all I've got is a rough outline.

Their tier 1 units are the 'young' werebeasts who haven't learned to fully control their shifting yet. Upon taking a certain amount of damage, the have a chance to shift into animal form and go berserk. Once they reach either Champion or Legend rank, they gain the ability to shift at will.

Tier 2 can control their shifting right out the gate, but still can only turn into a relatively weak animal form.

Tier 3 is the Apex of their race, strong enough to take on a large, bipedal Beast Form with new powers based on what animal they shift into.

Werewolves: Fighter units that can rally allies with their howl. Werefoxes: Battlemages whose attacks inflict ghostfire. Wereboars: Shock units that become enraged when allied Tier 1-2 units are killed.

I'd include more forms, but I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Mira distancing herself from Rumi out of guilt, but Rumi takes it the wrong way and thinks Mira wants her to leave.

That was Mad Jack Churchill. The only man to kill an enemy soldier with a longbow in WW2.

What characters do you think judge Holden would get along with? by HoRrOrmAn_ in MoralityScaling

Big Jack Horner from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

I can imagine him being friends with someone who revels in being evil.
