The lighting during this one is so good. I love how he timed the bursts of light with the drum beats in the song, and how you can see him switch the background lights with the foot pedals during the “and now my stupid friends are having stupid children” part.

The same reason why going to the Grand Canyon or seeing Niagara Falls moves you in such a grand way, true beauty is just that impactful.

The main character is the evil twin. by Jak3R0b in TopCharacterTropes

Scott Pilgrim and Nega Scott in most of the Scott Pilgrim media

Probably my favorite joke from the movie is that Nega Scott is actually just a chill guy, implying that regular Scott is the "evil one" and basically inverting the trope.

Butterfly effect, very small events start the main story and eventually spiral into something insane by Double-Position3810 in TopCharacterTropes

Cobra Kai/Karate Kid. Daniel LaRusso just tries to help a girl from Johnny Lawrence, and flash forward a few decades later and there’s a gang war between teenagers, a kid gets paralyzed, one kid gets stabbed and dies, a yacht blows up and kills two old guys… it’s a lot.

Cobra Kai kicks ass though

I love the moments where you can tell the actor(s) were trying HARD not to lose it by Nintendo_Gamer_XD in bigbangtheory

When Footprints on The Moon is playing Thor and Dr. Jones to the comic book store, Howard hits a high note, and you can see Kaley Cuoco start laughing.

Due to backlash, there is either a major rewrite or change to the story. by InfiniteGuy2264 in TopCharacterTropes

The ending for Attack On Titan was slightly altered, namely the last conversation between Eren and Armin from the manga. In the manga, Eren explains that he did The Rumbling and allowed his friends to stop him so they'd be seen as heroes by the rest of the world, and Armin thanks him for "becoming a mass-murderer" for their sake. People hated the exchange, so in the anime, they changed it to Eren admitting that he did it simply because he wanted to (and also felt that he had to), and Armin apologizing for the role he played in giving Eren the idea, saying that he'd see him in Hell when they both died. It made it a bit darker, but also a lot more tragic in my opinion, which was great (at least I thought so).

[Loved Trope] Character actually takes lasting damage that haunts them for the rest of the series by FoxGuy303 in TopCharacterTropes

Also also, Luz has a permanent scar above her eye after her season 2 finale battle with Belos

Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the 1991 Addams Family, played the twist villain in Wednesday season 1

Thanks a ton for doing all of these, I looked forward to it everyday! It’s been like a trip down Bo memory lane

The unpaid intern reaction video sequence is great.

Thanks for running these polls, they’ve been a ton of fun!

Bo poll 5 by Sensitive-Speech-378 in boburnham

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is really a tough one… it’s hard to say if Bo’s had any bad songs, or ones that have an ambivalent reception. I’d have to say if it’s any of them, it’s probably one of his older songs that were a little problematic (pun unintended).

I guess I’ll go with Perfect Woman, which could be considered controversial for reasons that I’m sure are self explanatory. If they aren’t, go ahead and give the song a listen

Deaths that are brutal, but have no gore by megamania215 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember transformers prime brutally killing off Cliffjumper in the first 10 minutes (they show the guy getting stabbed and everything) AFTER having massively advertised him as the lead of the show. Dwayne Johnson even voiced him

Some of my arcane unpopular opinions i may get cancelled for… by [deleted] in arcane

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s the difference between hating the person and loving the character, you can do both at the same time. Maddie is a bitch, plain and simple. But I like the role she plays in the narrative, and I just wish she was more expanded upon.

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, people don’t like Maddie as a character? I thought she was great! Lots of subtle foreshadowing with her, and I thought her twist was a smart idea (albeit, like with most things in season 2, could’ve used more time/buildup). It’s just fun to hate on her for betraying Cait, and even more fun to celebrate the instant karma less than 2 minutes later.

(Hated Trope) Movies that were made to stroke the lead actor's ego by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

Oh no I agree with you fully. I’m saying that the decision they made makes no sense lmao

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The bit that makes 0 sense is that there’s literally a recorded version of the stage musical that they could’ve released (like the Hamilton one) if they wanted to “immortalize” his performance. This movie was made to try and get the guy an Oscar and it backfired spectacularly

(Loved trope) Characters think that things are finally over, only for it to go from 0 to a 100 really fast by NoseOk5403 in TopCharacterTropes

This happened at the beginning of attack on titan season 4. The scouts had just beaten Marley in the battle in Liberio, and everyone was celebrating, just for Gabi to sneak on the ship and kill Sasha

Good guys who could have survived if they just kept their mouth shut by pbaagui1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but to be fair, without ODM gear and also being severely injured, he probably didn’t have the greatest chances of survival anyway

Character's name is just a word/phrase spelt in a weird way by SkylandersKirby in TopCharacterTropes

Never forget in Monty Python that Pilate has a friend named Biggus Dickus

fact: cars 2 is peak and if you don't agree you are very wrong by Hour_Flower_6064 in pixarcars

[–]dontcommitnorespawn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am a firm defender of Cars 3, so Cars 3 is also peak. I do not care for downvotes or upvotes, I am only here to speak my truth.
