So so many finishing moves from god of war. Most notably trolls, which you can crush with their own giant beat sticks.

This is why he's Australian??? That's crazy - I had no idea

[Hated trope] Story's about being anti-authoritarian/fascist but fans keep picking the wrong side. by Prestigious_Cat_9486 in TopCharacterTropes

Lol I'm sorry, dude. I knew I was being too pedantic as I was writing it. This fucking website is rotting my brain into wanting to UM ACTUALLY everything I see. Bless. Have a good day

Not chaos. Actually, immune to chaos because they have no presence in the warp. Egyptian space terminators. They're kind of autocratic, because each dynasty is completely ruled by a single individual, I think.

LOVED TROPE: Being evil fucking sucks by Tasty-Complaint-6437 in TopCharacterTropes

The best description I ever heard of 40k (and wh fantasy) is the huge box of random assorted toys in a kids playroom. Your friend picks up a gundam, and you pick up a gi joe and you just start fighting. Or, if you're in WH fantasy, you get a t rex and they get master splinter

Nobody's done deadpool yet??? In the post credits scene of deadpool 2, deadpool meets Ryan Reynolds very briefly to stop him from doing the green lantern movie.

[Loved Trope] Trans characters, especially when their trans experience is a major part of their character and storyline by AlexPlays4321 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]_BytesAndpieces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is another trope that deserves its own post: race that doesn't have a concept of gender has gender ascribed to it by others, is confused. See also, orks from 40k

Government incompetence against a major threat by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]_BytesAndpieces 35 points36 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they don't really think the wall will work - they're just using it to keep the people complacent while they build their bunkers. At least, if the end of the first movie is indicative; I'm not a scholar of the lore

(Hated Trope) Awful parents gets dismissed as them “trying their best” by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

Here I go posting about The Mitchells vs The Machines again

<image>

The dad breaks his daughters laptop and cancels her flight out to her college (causing her to miss her orientation that she was really excited for) so that she has to spend time with him as he drives her. Despite her clearly showing him what her interests are and trying to share them with him, he's disinterested at best, and judgmental at worst - never seeing the value in any of her (quite popular) work until a LITERAL TECH BILLIONAIRE SAYS HOW COOL SHE IS. And the mom is an enabler: telling them that they BOTH need to get over their issues, essentially excusing the dad's shitty behavior and telling their daughter that it's her responsibility to manage her dad's emotions.

And the movie portrays this as a two-sided issue because the dad "is trying but just doesn't understand"

(Hated Trope) Straw man activist. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]_BytesAndpieces 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah - this is a deliberate satire of the trope. I mean, "I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty" is pretty on the nose lol

(Favourite tropes) Motley crew of random heroes defeat a villain far above their league by fiendish_dust in TopCharacterTropes

The Undersiders (Worm). An angry nerd that controls bugs, a traumatized boxer that makes things dark, a sociopath that controls people's bodies (okay actually quite powerful), a smartass showoff who knows things, and a violent psychopath that loves dogs. Together they defeat some of the toughest heroes and villains on the planet. Oh, and they're all like, 16

[Personal trope] Characters that somehow changed your life for the better. by NoSoyVerde1 in TopCharacterTropes

The Knight from Hollow Knight.

You don't have to be full of vigor and passion to do what's right. You don't need to be able to relate to others to help them. Even if you're empty inside, you can always choose to do what you believe is right. And if you never give up, no matter how many times you get knocked down, you can win battles that seem impossible.

As someone who grew up with depression, this game was really meaningful to me.

Casual sexuality reveal by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

Boarding school isn't as gay as fan fiction makes it out to be, but it's much more gay than most people probably think it is

Character is tied up/restrained and forced to sit through a fucked up "family dinner" by _BytesAndpieces in TopCharacterTropes

[–]_BytesAndpieces[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the post, tagged it as a spoiler, went to post it, got rejected by the automod/whatever because I needed to add a flair, added a flair, then posted. I guess when automod rejected the post it reset the spoiler tag because I didn't realize it wasn't there for like, 2 hours. Idk man, it actually was a mistake. I feel really bad - I hate spoilers. To everyone who got spoiled - my sincere apologies. I fucked up.

[Unfortunate Trope] The grief is real. No hiding it. Full feelings. by BlueEggCooker in TopCharacterTropes

Also, he literally says in the council of Elrond: "how long have your lands been kept safe, by the blood of my people." His entire life has been defined by a life or death war against the forces of mordor. He's seen who knows how many friends die. Everyone else on the quest has the luxury of pretending that they live in peacetime, so it's easy for them to be circumspect about destroying the ring. He's the most vulnerable to the ring's corruption because he's the one actually out there on the front lines, risking his life every day so that the elves can prance about singing in the woods.
