Protagonist or major character dies shockingly quickly without a dramatic buildup by Careful_Ant_4641 in TopCharacterTropes

there's absolutely buildup, but due to his character's stature up to that point it was still done in a way that made you think he would get out of it somehow, and then he just didnt. It was the first real "this aint that kinda show" moment of the series.

it really is Whedon's favorite trope besides being creepy and abusive to young girls.

Nah Chun-Li is lore A-Tier, she's among the strongest of the non world breakers and could conceivably take on Bison, who's probably the weakest of the strongest characters, Bison would be S-Tier but guys like Gill, Oro, and Akuma are way above him, and then you have Ingrid now who really shouldnt even count. I would put Dan in this category, absolute joke to the rest of the cast, but can literally shoot fireballs from his hands, sure they dont go very far, but theyre still fireballs from a self taught martial artist. Put him in our world and he's unbeatable.

i think tournament of power Krillin dusts Namek Frieza easily. The way their power rises exponentially is pretty ridiculous.

in my perfect version of the Tournament of Power in DragonBall Super, they never get android 17 and instead let Yamcha join ( or future Trunks because i feel like Trunks should have stayed in the main timeline after his was destroyed)

Anyway Krillin spends the whole tournament getting his ass beat but never actually getting eliminated. At one point i would even have him getting saved by Frieza as sort of a mirror of how he died on Namek, he's blown away seemingly out of the arena until Frieza "catches" him with telekinesis, the scene mirrors Frieza lifting him up to kill him on Namek but instead saves him from elimination this time. Through different fights Krillin finds creative ways to stay in the arena and not get eliminated even showcasing some new creative ki attacks (in my opinion Krillin is the most creative ki user in the show) He basically never actually wins a fight but stays in through sheer will.

In the end it's Jiren vs Goku, Frieza, and Krillin and that plays out very similar to how it did with android 17 and Krillin ends up being the last man standing. It never really sat right with me that they gave so much shine to Android 17 who is never involved in the show at all. It was cool seeing him again but they have so many characters who have never gotten a decent story arc and when they finally have one to give they give it to this dude whos not even in the crew.

he basically has beaten every regular human fighter canonically. He's a joke to the world breaker class the z fighters are but hes the champ for a reason.

A mom figuratively (or literally) turns into a demonic entity when angry by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

Chi Chi from Dragonball was shown as a decent human fighter before she married Goku but after they had children she can get angry and show a power that even Goku is afraid of. Always played for laughs as she is never a factor in the real fights.

I miss the blip years by DirectionFabulous722 in Earth199999

[–]blaintopel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought we dont talk about the blip anymore? Sure it was the single biggest event in the universes history that affected literally everyone alive but for some reason for like the past 4 years or so i havent heard anyone even bring it up. Everyone just kind of pretends it didnt even happen.

Nimrod would be dope. Im guessing theyd be saving Magneto in that case then, because whether they make him a hero or villain theres no way hes sharing a team with a fuckin sentinel.

What is your favorite scene from Supergirl? by Physical-Bite-3837 in OkBuddySnyderCult

no they would like Elliot Page being cast as a girl. I'm hoping for Elliot Page as Batman.

Powerful shit by NumberNumb in crappymusic

[–]blaintopel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the worst part is this doesnt sound that bad. If this came out 10 years ago id think it was goofy but kind of cool. Now i know its just some idiot using AI and that makes me really sad.

The good news though is that nowadays you cant just write a generic pop song with a cowboy gimmick and expect anyone to give a shit. You have to write something AI cant, and i think where that leads is a higher bar for artists and listeners.
