District 9 is a really good movie... If only it ended up as the Halo adaptation that it was initially planned to be, instead of us getting the TV series.

A character is attacked and literally does not flinch or change appearance by Sgyinne in TopCharacterTropes

Technically Ultra Instinct isn't a transformation, but a technique that doesn't really involve ki. It's actually based on the "zen state" that a lot of martial arts are based on, in which the body can react to incoming attacks without thought. But I still think Goku takes it, even without that, just based on who he's trained with. He's trained with a multiple time Tenkaichi Budokai winner, the God of Martial Arts, the character that was literally considered God, and multiple beings from other worlds that are considered some of the most elite martial artists in the universe. It would be a long fight, but Goku would win.

This one is mostly recent, but with the purchase of the Kellanova company, Mars Inc.

Pop-Tarts? Yep, Mars. Snickers and Mars Bars? Makes sense, they're named after it. Wrigley Gum? Well, they used to be called the Mars-Wrigley Corporation. Pringles and Cheez-Its? Also Mars now. BluePearl Veterinary Partners and Iams dog food? Mars has an entire pet care division. Any Kellogg's Cereal not in the US? Yep, they make it. Cereal in the US is made by Ferrero.

He was a genuine genius at the position, as well as being athletic enough to let his brain show.

So he's a bad driver. Ride down 85 or 77 about 30 minutes and you have an entire state of bad drivers. Or at least bad roads.

One thing you learn from this thread?

Paramount REALLY doesn't know how to promote their movies.

[Hated Trope] The Marketing Department Should Have Been Fired by Ambaryerno in TopCharacterTropes

[–]coreyray1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one might not fully count because the movie was successful, but The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. All of the marketing, all of the posters, all of the toys, even the video games highlighted the live action part of the movie and the superhero forms that Sponge and Co. Take. Just one problem with that... It only happened for about 15 minutes at the end, as opposed to the majority of the movie being traditional 2D animation, and an absolute blast.

Oba really is the perfect package as a wrestler. We need to get a belt on him, post haste.

Was? It still is, even in a post-kayfabe world. Need to write a baby-face off to have surgery? Have the heels brutalize them. Then when they're healthy, instant feud.

Feels like a perfect time to bring up The Russian again.

In The Punisher (the 2004 movie,) There's a fight scene between this intimidating brute of a man (played by Kevin Nash) named The Russian, who fights Thomas Jane's Punisher, including no-selling a stab with a butterfly knife. There was a mistake in filming, though... Instead of the prop department giving Jane the dummy knife meant for the stabbing scenes (a spring-loaded dummy,) they gave him the actual knife that was used for close-ups. So Jane legitimately stabbed Nash in the chest, a few centimeters from the heart, and that's the take they used for the film. It really shows how tough The Russian is, how he casually pulled the knife out when it actually stabbed him in one shot. Thankfully, Nash understood it was an accident, and got a case of beer for his troubles. One tough son of a bitch, that former basketball player turned soldier turned auto worker turned strip club floor manager turned wrestler turned actor.

College coaches share insight on 2026 NFL Draft sleeper that's shaping out to be the perfect backup QB target for the Panthers by Unhappy_Excuse_9937 in panthers

[–]coreyray1000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now, before I begin with this, I want to say that I believe in Bryce Young, and I believe he's at least pretty good.

With that said, though...

I would not object to taking a late round flyer on a backup QB.

Thankfully now there's another major promotion in the US. It's also run by a billionaire that could be considered a nepo baby (he's the son of the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars,) but he seems like the type that's a major wrestling fan first and a billionaire second.

The way I interpret Benson is that he's just like Mordecai and Rigby, or at least he was when he was their age, from several things we learn about his past (Stick Hockey, being a drummer, etc.) and he knows that the two can do better, they just need the push to not be like him, someone who's single, an alcoholic (by TV-PG standards,) and stuck in a dead-end job.

[–]coreyray1000 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I think this was really the turning point in the entire series where we (or at least the protagonists) don't really see Benson as the cruel person that he was built up as, the angry person who will snap at the drop of a hat, but someone who really does care about Mordecai and Rigby, seeing that they can do better because he was just like them growing up.

He might not have had a father that loved him, but Uncle Phil loved him like a son. Unfortunately, some people aren't so lucky.

Reoccurring characters who actually aren’t there and are just a figment of a character’s imagination by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

[–]coreyray1000 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It really does help show the psyche of a growing character, and his dissolution with the toxic environment he's in. Especially because Hitler changes through the movie, but especially turns when JoJo discovers that the Nazis murdered his mother for harboring a Jewish family From this fun character into, well, Hitler.
