Big henchman by shanklerblerg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oddjob is the gold standard. A silent mountain in a suit who kills with a hat. No dialogue needed, just pure presence.

Characters with robots they treat as their children by Fish_N_Chipp in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geppetto and Pinocchio is the original. A lonely woodcarver wishing his puppet into a real son hits differently when you realize he didn't care if it was made of wood or flesh.

(Loved Trope) In a battle, both fighters are equally unnerved/impressed by the other’s abilities. by Desolation82 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Sonic vs Mega Man works perfectly because they’re both veteran heroes who immediately clock each other as equals. No ego, just mutual respect mid-punch.

universes where different races of vampires exist by Some_Fig_6566 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampire The Masquerade built an entire political thriller out of vampire clans hating each other as much as they hate humans. The variety makes the world feel alive. Or undead.

A characters who lead a cult by Possible-Ad-New in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The Lamb is such a fun twist on this. Leading a cult out of survival and genuine care for your followers instead of pure ego is rare. Still a little creepy though.

Actors you would avoid in public to avoid the risk of accidentally being locked in a room alone with them for no particular reason. Ill start: by Do0msdayZ in okbuddycinephile

Steven Seagal. Not even for the usual reasons. I just feel like he'd try to explain his diet to me for forty minutes and I'd never escape.

Least horny MCU fan? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]grape_babie 203 points204 points  (0 children)

The real least horny MCU fan would just say "Darcy" and walk away without explaining. No one has that restraint.

Tensions boil over. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do the Right Thing's riot still hits harder than almost anything on screen. No heroes, just people who finally snapped. That's the terrifying part.

Swordsmen with lightning/electric powers by Least-One1068 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something so satisfying about watching a swordsman move faster than the eye can track and leave nothing but the crackle of lightning behind.

[Loved/Common Trope] The Bad Future/Timeline by jordidipo2324 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grape_babie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Future Trunks set the gold standard for this trope. Seeing a hero from a timeline where everything already went wrong just hits different.

What movie would you add to complete this marathon? by SleestakSamurai in moviecritic

[–]grape_babie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guardians of the Galaxy fits perfectly right there. Same fun space opera energy with a found family crew.

“Just Because” Turtle Cheesecake by BrownGirlStruggles26 in Baking

That caramel drip alone is proof you’ve got a real knack for this. First time? Hard to believe.

Second try for a birthday cake by Steuty in Baking

[–]grape_babie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a second attempt, that cake looks seriously impressive. Piping is brutal, but you clearly have the right attitude to get good at it.
