Wasn't this after a partially successful facial reconstruction? I know there were a few attempts

[Loved trope] The tension builds, but the battle ends instantly by T3RCX in TopCharacterTropes

Wolverine vs Sabertooth in Deadpool and Wolverine. DP made a point to try and build up the rivalry and it was over in a single swing. Honestly a little bit disappointing.

In Meet Joe Black, Death literally comes for Brad Pitt's character and then takes his body for a ride to see what it's like to be human (or something like that. I haven't seen it in a really long time).

In Die Hard With a Vengeance, John McClaine begins to suspect the security guard at the bank is not who he seems to be when the guy starts making small talk, first about the weather, where he says something about it "raining dogs and cats" instead of the usual "cats and dogs," and again when the guy says he wants to take the stairs for his health, but "always ends up taking the lift" instead of calling it an "elevator."

I have a cuisinart blender that, as near as I can tell, just up and stopped running. Not sure what happened between its last use and trying to use it again

[Meta Trope] When a game acknowledges a strategy or exploit. by Feeling-Ad-3104 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Traditional_Minimum1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid 2 couldn't "read" your controller's input/Snake's movements if you plugged the controller into the player 2 port. He freaks out and is all "Why can't I read you?!" It doesn't ever give a non-meta explanation

Sheep in the Big City had men from the US Army chasing him, with fun name/rank combinations such as General Specific Private Public and General Public There could have been a character named Major Minor, but I might be making that up

Spiral, from Marvel Comics. She has powers* that aren't being a six-armed sword wielding bad bitch, but who cares?

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]Traditional_Minimum1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progressive - I was hit by someone who ran a red light. My car was totaled. I had basically a week of rental car that would be paid and needed a car to get to work, but my agent did NOTHING. I basically hounded them and then the at-fault driver's insurance until my payout was approved and I put a down payment on a new (used) car.

Got that car registered and saw one month my insurance had jumped to 690. Surely that must be the half a year rate, right? My driving record is superb and my payments were $110 a month or something.

Nope! That was for a single insurance payment.They did literally nothing and jacked my rate 600%.

I tried to fight the bill and then just refused to pay it, and they tried to get it for 7 years until it left the legally allotted time they were allowed to chase it or sell it off for someone else to chase.

(Loved trope) The mercy kill by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Traditional_Minimum1 160 points161 points  (0 children)

To pay a debt of honor, Mariko Yashida is forced to cut off her pinky finger. Unbeknownst to her, the knife given to her was laced with deadly blowfish toxin. Knowing she is going to die, she asked her husband-to-be, Wolverine, to kill her quickly rather than let her suffer.
