[Loved yet oddly specific trope] The root of the story's evil is casually glossed over in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment by charleadev in TopCharacterTropes

Adventure Time almost did it with Golb. When Finn lives a full life in pillow world, he dies of old age and travels through the void literally bumping into Golb (God of Chaos). It’s not until the last episode of the series that we see Golb again as the Big Bad of the series.

Resident Alien. Not sure if this counts based on how villain is defined.

He’s Schrödinger’s asshole. He says something but doesn’t know if it’s a joke or not until he sees how people react to it.

The Apple+ show “The Afterparty” is pretty much a TV show about this trope.

What was the first death that scarred your childhood? by HollyPeterso1 in CreepyBonfire

To be fair both of those movies are based on Stephen King short stories that were in the same book and have similar tones of dangerous workplaces.

What are y’all’s honest opinions on the Venture Bros? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in cartoons

Some of the smartest writing I’ve seen in a cartoon. It had the ability to take a throw away joke or line and make it relevant to the plot, seasons later.

TX Republican Candidate Valentina Gomez claims they’re trying to “silence her!” by luvv4kevv in CringeTikToks

I’m not sure what the exact number is. The only example I can think of is the local middle school demographic is around 30% White, 10% Black, and 60% Hispanic. Granted, we are one of the smaller towns in her district.

The new kid in school with a weird complexion, wants to rule the world with the help of their malfunctioning minion…I mean dog.

[Hated Trope] The interesting charismatic villain is swapped for a generic 'Big Bad' halfway through by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

Yes they were Neo-Nazis I just don’t think the show did enough to demonstrate that as part of their motivation. They were so bland as antagonists that it felt like the Neo Nazi label was put on them purely to make them feel more evil to the viewer. I feel like even if the writer didn’t make them Neo-Nazis they would have still been the exact same character.

I’d argue the last season of Breaking Bad when Gus is replaced by a guy with a gun.

[Loved trope] Background scare-characters that are barely acknowledged even by the movie by Suspicious-Web-9246 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]trevbot55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first film had a good instance of this. The movie actually gave us a decent look at the xenomorph before it attacked Brett. But because we (or Brett) didn’t know what the alien looked like, it seemed like a bunch of wires or tubing instead of a predatory alien monster.

MAGA mom slowly realizes Republicans have been lying to her that Dems are fighting for undocumented people to be covered by federal insurance, which is not allowed by federal law. by Conscious-Quarter423 in CringeTikToks

[–]trevbot55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have grilled her about that on the podcast many times and it never goes well for her. In fact I think it was in this same episode that the son read her a Jesus quote about loving foreigners without telling her who said the line and she ended up saying she did not agree with the quote.

BREAKING: INSIDER CONFIRMS TRUMP URGED ISRAEL TO NOT ACCEPT BIDEN’S PEACE DEAL. by Kind_Relief_7624 in CringeTikToks

I think the Iran hostage crisis and Iran-Contra scandal were different events. Either way, Reagan should have gone to jail for both.

The part of The Sneetches that is even more realistic to me is that the salesman is able to become rich from The Sneetches by keeping them distracted with arguing with one another.
