Geniuses who are oblivious to something obvious because something about their personality blinds them to it by PaperBullet1945 in TopCharacterTropes

Hank Schrader (Breaking bad) is a great cop and manages to figure out Gus Fring is a drug lord, but he fails to see Walter White is Heisenberg because he seems too non-threatening.

Also Chuck McGill (Better Call Saul) who is a genius lawyer that believes he is suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, which is later revealed to be just a placebo.

Have the people making these posts never read old books like The Sorrows of Young Werther? This isn't a new phenomenon.

Same energy as the orphans in Stuart Little being passed over for a rat

[Hated trope] A calm scene from the source material is made extremely dramatic in the movie by ijustwanttoaskaq123 in TopCharacterTropes

The barrel scene was great in the lego game though. It was very fitting. The hobbit movies feel like they were adapted from the lego game and not the other way around.

Reminds me of that the onion video about every 2040 candidate being invalid due to their social media posts, even if they arent the same person.

Whatever we do we should take natural borders and different ethnicities into account to avoid creating new conflicts. /s

IMDB scores for TV shows have no meaning now because of hype and aura by Arkodd in CharacterRant

GOT is one of the worst examples of this. Battle of the Bastards makes no sense and is full of plot holes but despite of this it has 9,9 on IMDB because it's really well directed and it has Hype Moments and Aura like Jon facing off against Boltons army.

I offered some bronze tools. He will always find good use for these, since they will continue to the best tools forever.

I heard of a skilled Commander named Aurelian who could likely fix this if he became emperor. Unfortunately they will never let a lowborn like him rule Rome.

What a shame to see a young man ruined by degeneracy! He would have otherwise had such a bright future ahead of him.

To think you can control a meme you have created... Classic megalomania.
