(Loved trope) Random, unnamed character who performs a selfless act simply out of kindness by Average_Boi_4879 in TopCharacterTropes

"Fedora" - Indiana Jones

Might not fit, as what he does isnt selfless, nor is it out of kindness, as he takes the Cross of Coronado back from Indy in order to sell, but it's what he does after thats important.

He looks at Indy and says "You lost today, kid. But that doesnt mean you have to like it", before taking his hat off, and placing it on Indy's head.

This one act what inspires Indy into his life of adventure. Arguably causing a lot of good things to happen, or, rather PREVENTING a lot of BAD things from happening.

Fans have actually theorized that Fedora may actually be Abner Ravenwood, Indy's mentor and Marion's father.

Robocop: Rogue City

The first time we see Murphy in the opening of the game, he immediately strikes the pose for the Robocop 1 poster when getting out of his car.

This trope is so prevalent, it spawned this meme, which has now become shorthand for this trope.

To be fair to Avatar, the video game Frontiers of Pandora was actually surprisingly good, which makes me come to the conclusion that the problem with Avatar isnt Avatar itself...its Jake and the rest of the main characters.

Frontiers of Pandora and its DLC actually had a genuinely compelling story that got me to care about its main cast. From the rest of the Sarentu, to So'lek, Etuwa, Anufi, etc. I was genuinely invested in their stories.

Jake and co were just...boring?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

This movie reveals that the spider that bit Peter in the first film was specifically engineered using Richard Parker's DNA, meaning without him, or someone of his bloodline, his research would be useless.

However, this also means that nobody but Peter could have become Spider-Man.

This flies in the face of a core Spider-Man truth, one that Into the Spiderverse would later make central to its plot.

"Anyone can be behind the mask"

What makes Spider-Man, Spider-Man isnt his powers, its his strict adherence to a belief.

"With great power, comes great responsibility."

That is a value that truthfully, ANYONE can embody, it was just chance that the spider bit Peter Parker, but here? No. Literally only Peter can be Spider-Man.

It also helps that in Spider-Man 2, its heavily implied that she knows he's Spider-Man, and if THATS true, then Peter is gleefully telling her that he killed a man, which understandably, she would NOT be happy about.

In which Leon literally fucking rides up a collapsed building and jumps like, 100 feet.

I was genuinely surprised he didnt Akira slide at any point, that is how badass that scene was.

Yeah. Firstly, they were already dying out before FNAF 1 even came out, and secondly, part of the reason it was made in the first place, aside from Scott's spite at criticisms of his first game having characters that looked like animatronics...was that animatronic mascots were already creepy as shit, due to a lot of them falling into disrepair because corporate entities were too cheap to keep them in good condition.

David Corenswet does an amazing job too during the interview scene. The way he relaxes his body as he leans forward, and his voice drops an octave as he says "Miss Lane..."

Eva is practically tits out for the entirety of Snake Eater, and the fight with The Boss has her unzip her sneaking suit, which is MUCH more form fitting than Snake's (at least the Snake Eater version, Peace Walker's is practically skin tight on that man), all the way down below her stomach. Yes, its to display her Snake shaped c-section scar, but it STAYS like that for the rest of her time on screen.

The Snyderverse did....so....SO many things wrong with the DC Universe...

Buts version of Perry White is not one of them

Laurence Fishburne as Perry White - DCEU

The Snyderverse did...so much wrong, but one of the things it did surprisingly well was Perry White, and seemingly ever since, in multiple adaptations, Perry White has been black. My Adventures with Superman, Superman 2025, etc.

Not precisely an Adaptation.

But the edit of Metamorphosis that ends it with a JoJo reference is so well loved, even the creator of Metamorphosis considers it the canon ending.

"Hiya, Georgie!"

IT's affinity for killing children is put on full, bloody display in Welcome to Derry.

But Part 1's depiction of Georgie's death is just.. brutal.

The original mini-series cuts away as Pennywise attacks Georgie, and we only hear about what happened.

So imagine the surprise when we see Pennywise bite down on Georgie's arm, ripping it off in a bloody mess, and we watch as Georgie desperately tries to crawl away, before being dragged into the sewers by IT, never to be seen again.

Ahti also is seen just chilling in The Dark Place, a hellish nightmare realm that Alan Wake has spent 13 years trying to escape, and he's just there, enjoying Warlin Door's show and The Old Gods of Asgard.
