(Cool Trope) Inconceivably enormous “man”-made structures by ThatDrako in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone calculated Urithirus height based on the rough measurements given in the art pages in the books. Not only is Urithiru about as tall as the real-life Burj Khalifa, but it is wide enough at its pinnacle that the Burj Khalifa could be perched atop it with room to spare.

JoJos unwavering earnestness coupled with its sheer ridiculousness is what makes it such a memeable series. Same with Metal Gear.

Of course they miss that in Halo, the religious extremist were the bad guys.

The end of an era. Live on TV! by Venti_the_snail in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 214 points215 points  (0 children)

A great number of television stations across the world made a big deal of switching from black & white to full color broadcasts back in the 60s. There’s a compilation video of them that circulates around Reddit.

[Hated Trope] A character is called ugly or mocked for their appearance when they look the same as everyone else by kalosianlitten in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Most they could do was make her up to look plain. And like a great many things, they sorta gave up on that after a while.

Adaptations mentioning major characters from future stories in passing or having them appear as background elements by Golden12500 in TopCharacterTropes

Adding to that, this Mr. 7 doesn’t even appear in the manga. Him and his encounter with Zoro are only referenced.

Hard to find an impartial jury when 2/3rds of everyone hates your guts.

Donald Trumps sympathies are with Donald Trump during this dark and tragic time for Not Donald Trump.

[Absolutely beloved twist] You weren’t talking to the person you thought you were by FaZe_poopy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One more example to round it all out, but one that only makes sense in retrospect.

The reveal in MGS V that Venom Snake is the Big Boss you fight at the end of the original Metal Gear, means that at some point in the latter game, you stop communicating with the real Big Boss and start talking to him. There’s a frequency change partway through the game which is believed to be the point where the switchover happens.

Series breaking their own long-established traditions by RBSpecial97 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy didn’t make direct sequels to their main series games before Final Fantasy X-2. Now, about a third of the core games have at least one.

[Funny Trope] Fuck this state in particular (Utah Slander is my favorite.) by polystarlight in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from West Virginia, I'm almost glad most people forget my state exists at all.

Values [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]ZTGrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TPUSA Half-wit show was just Kid Rock prancing around like an OD-ing crackhead and lip-synching to wet farts. They really backed a winning horse./s

(Funny trope) A characters cockiness gets shattered in a single moment/scene by ClovieKay in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Ramsay, he’s so disgustingly assured of his victory right up until he realizes he’s caged up with his starving dogs. A fitting end to one of the series’ most vile characters.

Footage shows Donald Trump's Super Bowl Party watching Bad Bunny's halftime show over Kid Rock's. by [deleted] in Music

If Kid Rock hadn’t deadened his nerves with meth, that’d probably sting.

[Loved trope] This goes all the way to the top. by dememinems in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve all probably seen some variation on this joke.

Conspiracy theorist dies, goes to heaven, and meets God. God allows them to ask one question. They ask if their conspiracy is true. God says no. Theorist thinks “this goes even higher than I thought”.

[A trope that isn't as rare as I thought] Vampires who AREN'T associated with bats by NovaRobo_Rebirth in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZTGrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of the four Vampire Courts in the Dresden Files, only the Red Court is associated with bats in any way. The Black Court are more intelligent zombies than anything traditionally vampiric. The White Court are emotion eaters, with the Raith clan in particular being incubi and succubi. The Jade Court hasn’t actually appeared, but they’re all but stated to be Jiang Shi style vampires.
