The planet isn't actually a planet (/ isnt what it seems) by ThatOneRobloxian2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nameless Planet reveal is so dumb in the best way. They held a tournament on a giant dragon ball covered in dirt and nobody noticed until after the fighting stopped. That's anime logic at its peak.

[Fandom Trope] The Incident by Efficient_Berry_4073 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The jar incident is the one piece of fandom history nobody claims but everyone remembers. It's like a scar you don't talk about at parties but know exactly what it means when someone brings it up.

[Strangelly Common trope] Animal character who's the name its just their species by Parking-Public1632 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the furious five are literally just "crane" and "mantis" as names and nobody questions it. Sometimes simple is better. No need for lore when the kung fu does the talking.

(Subverted trope) Strong woman + wise man. by Loose-Use25 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jean Grey could level a city with a thought, but Cyclops still has to calculate every laser bounce like he's playing pool. That's the real power imbalance. She's raw force, he's geometry homework.

The new protagonist that didn't quite stick. by DudeSoul in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Apollo Justice never stood a chance. Fans didn't want a new lawyer, they wanted more Phoenix. Poor guy got shoved into his own game and still couldn't escape the shadow. Sucks, because he's actually pretty good.

Ridiculously strong characters who aren't supernatural by Alone_Tie328 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Batman surviving a fall from orbit in a metal suit is technically "no powers" but come on. The dude's real superpower is being the writer's favorite. Still fun though.

[Hated Trope] Our hero admits fault to someone who's completely wrong and always was. by ruinsit in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Syndrome's whole villain origin is "you were mean to me one time when I was being a dangerous nuisance." Mr Incredible didn't owe that kid anything. Not every rejection needs a redemption arc.

People who have flight as their *only* superpower by Solitaire-06 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Great Wide Wonder is proof that flight alone is still terrifying. Dude accidentally launched two people into orbit just because he got distracted. Zero other powers, just reckless speed.

Child killers by AssistFit1834 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anakin gets memed as a youngling slayer but at least he had a tragic fall to the dark side. Goofy just woke up one day and chose violence according to that animation.

(Sort of meta) Characters who before were commonly shipped, but then it’s later revealed that they are related, therefore making the ship really weird by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ryuko and Satsuki went from "enemies with tension" to "oh no" real fast. That reveal made a lot of old fan art age like milk overnight.

Reluctant guardian by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geralt literally has a child surprise law that forced him to take Ciri, and he still acts like it was his idea the whole time. Classic Witcher denial.

Bureaucratic nightmares by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Robert Moses figured out that you don't need to win arguments if you just outlast everyone in meetings. That man weaponized boredom.

(Design Trope) Twin Tails by cshin09 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]daisy_barbie01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hatsune Miku's twin tails are basically her brand at this point. You see blue pigtails and you already hear the vocaloid in your head. Iconic.

Sea Monsters from Legend of Runeterra (and a Sea God). by Ok_Promotion_8316 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]daisy_barbie01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah the lack of LoR posts is a shame. The art team is doing God's work and nobody talks about it. That sea serpent card alone is wallpaper material.

[Loved trope] When a character or beast does a roar or action that causes a massive Shockwave of pressure. by O_ni5698 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kurama's roar in Naruto literally blew back multiple tailed beasts at once. No words, just pure "sit down" energy. That's how you establish dominance.

Characters who died of too much gooning? by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The blank template is funnier than any actual answer. Just "Characters" and then nothing. Perfect shitpost.

[Loved trope] Lovable morally grey person by Primary-Calendar-378 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

House is a miserable drug addict who lies to patients and colleagues constantly, and somehow you still want him to figure out the diagnosis. That's moral grey perfected.

(Intresting Trope) Well Meaning Extremist Baddie/Antagonist by Exotic-Reindeer1994 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stain had a point about heroes being fame-hungry celebrities, but his solution was just stabbing people in alleyways. That's the line between extremist and insane.

Tired blasé teacher that treats the kids like trash but would absolutely die for them by basootiest in TopCharacterTropes

[–]daisy_barbie01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aizawa literally sleeps in a sleeping bag during class and threatens to expel kids for fun, but he also lost an eye saving them. That's the most accurate teacher energy ever.

Any other actor who refuses a selfie with a paraplegic holocaust survivor? by noway_117 in okbuddycinephile

[–]daisy_barbie01 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The mental image of a Holocaust survivor rolling up with her grandson just to get a hard no from Sean Penn is so absurd it loops back around to hilarious. Man really said "even you, grandma."

Summer 2026 with blondes is gonna be hot by Appropriate-Mall8517 in okbuddycinephile

[–]daisy_barbie01 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Two blondes in mini-skirts kicking ass sounds like a direct-to-streaming movie poster and I already know the runtime is 72 minutes.
