Basically well-endowed characters whose larger than average penis is not only acknowledged by the narrative, but this fact is also portrayed as being part of the reason they’re great at sex

Iron Bull (Dragon Age Inquisition): Let’s just say he’s not called “the bull” just because of his horns…

The MC (Being a ΔΙΚ)

Max Walker (Elmwood University): guys at r/powerscaling should talk more about this dude, ngl

Basically when a protagonist is written to be a Mary-sue who can do no wrong. While every supporting character has better depth and writing. Yet they all basically INSIST that the main characters life is more important than all of theirs combined.

Blacklist

Elizabeth keen is a very run of the mill protagonist. Very often in the story all the supporting characters have their little moments of “wow I would DIE so Elizabeth can figure out who her mom was, she’s THE BEST”.
Meanwhile the writers barely give her more than a surface level of character depth most of the time.

Mission impossible franchise

Ethan hunt is literally written to never have an embarrassing moment and never make any sort of serious mistakes. And if he does it’s corrected seconds later or written to not really be his fault.

ALL of the side characters have their moments to say how awesome Ethan is and how they’d literally die if it meant he got a happy ending etc.

One of the characters that takes over the IMF as the new director literally says “he is the manifestation of destiny”.

This whole franchise is just a big ego stroke for tom cruise and his obvious self insert character.

they dont fall under the classic non-feminine archetypes but is an authentic blend of nuanced traits.

not damsel in distress, no the classy soft girl.

Idk if these people have ever met a grumpy good-looking guy irl but unless you're their type there's a cold reality to face:

its not that they're misunderstood they're usually FULLY aware of how they look and unless you try hard to find something they're interested enough to engage with it's extremely hard to penetrate their personalities even on a platonic level, as peers, during group discussions or as colleagues

worse, I've met far more attractive women than men and the only time they'd act like this was maybe in like high school (pre frontal lobe).

there's not some cold barrier protecting a sweet guy, he's just a cunt.

Ninjago - Morro was trained by Sensei Wu, who believed he was gonna be the green ninja, and became vengeful after not being allowed to fulfill he believed was his destiny and what he had trained all these years for. In this way, he is very similar to Tai Lung.

Avatar: Rise of Kyoshi - Yun is also very similar to Tai Lung. He was taken by Jianzhu who believed him to be the Avatar, however it turned out that the Avatar was not him, but Kyoshi instead, which led to him being rejected and left for dead by Jianzhu, who he looked up to. After that he also turned vengeful as he believed he was lied to by everyone around him. Unlike Morro and Tai Lung he did have a legimate reason to be vengeful

Cobra Kai - Axel fills a role pretty similar to Jiren from Dragon Ball Super. Being cold and stoic fighters who are the extremely strong adversary to beat in their respective tournaments

Both examples are stokely Hathaway cause he got the easiest examples on top of my head

- Stokely Hathaway vs Adam Copeland:The faction he is in is a storyline with Adam Copeland and scenarios happen and he is a match against Copeland. You know how some people aren't meant to do certain things ? Stokely sure as hell wasn't meant to wrestle because he then got murdered by Copeland and got called bitchless by a fan

- Stokely Hathaway vs Hook:if you think that was bad imagine him going against someone that is the equivalent of a monster that is capable of murder on live TV. Have I mentioned Stokely managed to piss Hook off so Stokely fight the equivalent of a demon and this is a hardcore match so Hook get to use things ?

Why aren't mods more active and getting rid of low effort bullshit posts like the one in the picture?? I can't be the only one tired of them

I mean do they ever have that conversation? Seems like a pretty basic thing to discuss when you get together. Then usually one of them dramatically changes their mind. See Amy and Jake from B99

Brian Griffin— He was the voice of reason in early Family Guy. He had intelligence, he was a realist, and a way with speaking. An asset in the household, like how some might picture their own dogs. Now he’s a self-absorbed, known-it-all hypocrite. He is written to be unlikeable on purpose. This goes for multiple characters in that show, so he’s not the only victim. His words and actions now are direct opposites of how he was initially written as.

Deadpool: For years, Deadpool was a complex written character who is a mentally unwell merc that masks his low self worth, tragedies, and pain, with dark humor as a defense mechanism. From 2008 to 2012, Daniel Way’s writing paved the way for Deadpool’s comedy era, fundamentally shaping his portrayal. What really sealed the deal was his game in 2013, where it narrowly focused on Wade being a chaotic jokester and a smidge of depth. I did like the game, it is just since then he is reduced to the exaggerated zesty, one sided Memepool we see advertised today. Admittedly, he always had funny moments, but there aren’t moments anymore— that’s his whole identity now. Deadpool is no longer a depressed assassin wearing a clown mask, he’s an entire circus. Deadpool the Merc, more like Deadpool the Merch.

I still like Deadpool, despite his loss of depth. So sadly what made them *them* in the first place is just a thing in the past now.

The shows/game are Pre-timeskip One Piece, Team fortress 2, arrested Development.

Tyler comes from a wealthy background, as his family owns a mansion, and he can pay Mei 200 dollars without hesitation yet he goes to the same middle-class middle school as Mei and her friends. (From “Turning Red”)

Rancho Carne seems to be a wealthy neighborhood where very nice houses are the rule, but Darcy stands out because she's known to be able to secure money from her father so reliably that she can guarantee the rest of the Toros $500 to help finance hiring professional choreographer Sparky Palastri. (From “Bring It On”)

Sharpay and Ryan Evans, whose wealthy parents own a country club, still go to the largely middle-class East High just like Troy, Gabriella, and others. This is especially evident in the second movie, where practically all of their classmates work at their parents’ country club doing summer jobs. That said, Sharpay is far more prone to flaunting the family's wealth than Ryan is. (From “High School Musical”)

Harry Osborn, despite his dad being rich enough to be driven in a vintage Rolls Royce, goes to the same public high school as the financially struggling Peter Parker. It's explicitly because Harry’s been kicked out of every private school Norman could send him to. There’s also the matter of the school being a stand-in of The Bronx High School of Science, which is quite a prestigious school in its own right. (From “Spider-Man”)

Sugar Motta, whose extremely rich piano business owner father may or may not be in The Mafia. She's rich enough to easily help fund the school’s glee club, New Directions, for Regionals and to have her own glee club, The Troubletones, with Shelby Corcoran as its director, but still attends the public school of McKinley High, just like the rest of New Directions. (From “Glee”)

London, the daughter of the extremely wealthy Wilfred Tipton. While she was originally in a Catholic School with Maddie, she was later transferred to a public school as it was the only school she'd not yet been expelled from. She continues going to public school when traveling on the S.S. Tipton, along with all the other students. (From “The Suite Life”)

Fiona and Declan Coyne come to Degrassi in season 9 as this. They spend some time being at the center of several plots because of their wealth, such as Holly J. stealing from Fiona to pay for a private tutor and Declan in turn trying to rekindle his relationship with Holly J. by offering to help her financially. In season 12, it’s flipped when the Coynes lose their wealth after a scandal and Fiona is broke until the end of her tenure on the show. (From “Degrassi: TNG”)

Miles Hollingsworth III is introduced in season 13 to fill the role. The Hollingsworth mansion ends up being a major hang-out spot for the rest of the series thanks to its expansive grounds and big pool. (From “Degrassi: TNG”)

Even though Dash and Paulina are both wealthy and go to the same public high school. Sam is definitely the most baffling, as she seems to be the wealthiest kid there and has very prim, socialite parents who'd definitely be the types to want to send their rebellious daughter to a private school. (From “Danny Phantom”)

Courtney is your typical airhead, flaunting her riches and fancy clothes, while her little brother Blake actually seems to like getting his own money, even if just to show that he can. (From “As Told By Ginger”)

Trixie Chang, Veronica, Tad, & Chad are group of four kids that are so wealthy that they can pay to have separate areas for them in school like a cool booth at the cafeteria, cool restrooms, and cool seats in the bus (which consists on a dance floor and a jacuzzi.) From “The Fairly OddParents”)

Rhonda Lloyd is always flaunting her wealth and her parents are so rich that they considered having to sell a yacht to afford their honeymoon a “financial crisis” in spite of it being just one of the three they owned at the time, yet she attends P.S. 118 along the other kids. (From “Hey Arnold”)

Chloé is the daughter of the Mayor and Adrien is the son of a fashion tycoon. They (Chloé especially) tend to show their privileges a lot around school (like arriving in limousines) yet we are not given any indication that any other of the kids are that well off. (From “Miraculous Ladybug”)

Diamond Tiara’s family is very wealthy, but she still attends the same school as every other foal in Ponyville, likely because it's the only school in town. (From “MLP: FIM”)

Princess Morbucks is a rich Spoiled Brat who first debuted as a New Transfer Student to the same public kindergarten the Powerpuff Girls and other normal students attend. In later episodes of the original show, they were rather vague about whether Princess was still attending Pokey Oaks or left (for another school or prisoner). (From “The PowerPuff Girls”)

Veronica Lodge is the usual token rich kid of fictional media, serving as the blueprint for the archetype across comics, television, and pop culture. As the billionaire heiress to the Lodge Industries fortune, her staggering wealth is a core driver of her identity and storylines. (From “Riverdale”)

Tolkien Black pulls double-duty by being the only rich kid in school as well as the only black kid. In the episode “Here Comes the Neighborhood,” Cartman complains because Token’s resources enable him to produce better schoolwork. Token begins to feel like an outcast and campaigns for more rich kids to move to South Park, attracting wealthy families who just happen to be black. (From “South Park”)

Richie Rich has everything material but lacks ordinary friends. His plot line revolves around trying to fit in with a group of normal, neighborhood kids who play sandlot sports, highlighting the stark contrast between his hyper-luxurious lifestyle and their everyday lives. (From “Richie Rich”)

1. Alexander Hamilton (Hamilton/ Burr/John Adams): the Treasury Secretary of the US had been a relatively minor figure in popular memory, with most Americans being familiar with him due to his face on the 10$ bill. Before the mammoth lionizing portrayal in the musical Hamilton, he had at least been portrayed quite negatively in the Gore Vidal novel Burr as an antagonist and a ambitious political climber in John Adams actively opposed to the administration of the second president. The release of Hamilton caused massive cultural awareness of Hamilton in a positive way, but the counter work the Haunting of Lin Manuel Miranda by Ishmael Reed depict Hamilton controversies.

2. Andrew Jackson (Davy Crockett, Buccaneer, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson): the general turned seventh president of the US. Early romantic portrayals made Jackson to be a stern but ultimately virtuous advocate for the common man, while increasingly balanced portrayals include his more vile actions such as his policy of Indian removal.

3. Henry VIII (Shakespeare, The Private Life, Six Wives, Tudors, Shardlake etc.): a seminal and controversial controversial king of England. Portals have included him as a good natured jovial mischief maker while others have made him a bloodthirsty tyrant, especially in the Shardlake series.

4. Thomas Cromwell (Wolf Hall): usually relegated as a villainous side character in Tudor related media, the minister takes center stage in the Wolf Hall series as a forward thinking administrator of a changing England.

5. Oda Nobunaga (anime/manga): often shown as an outright villain in Japanese manga due to his ruthless conquests and actions other media such as Hyouge Mono and Taiko novel, portrayed him more positively.

6. Julius Caesar (Rome/Masters of Rome/Imperium): has been shown as valorous general and reformer or a ruthless egotistical tyrant.

7. Augustus (Rome HBO/Imperium/Shakespeare/I Claudius): either a necessary unifier of Rome or a cold calculating sociopathic politician

8. Richard III (Shakespeare/The Sunne in Splendour, etc): controversial king in life accused of murdering his Royal nephews, historical fiction that portrays him positively or neutrally pin the blame on someone else like in the Sunne in Splendour or have the princes survive, while Shakespeare makes him guilty of those deaths and more of his York family.

9. Hernan Cortes (Aztec/Batman Aztec): older works tended to portray Hernan as a heroic bringer of Christianity and civilization to the Americas. Newer works such as Aztec and Batman Aztec highlight his ruthless self interest in subjugating the native peoples he encountered.

10. Cao Cao (Soten Koro): a late Han warlord who established his supremacy in northern China. The ROTK portrays him as a wicked schemer and plotter. More positive works see him as principled if pragmatic such as Soten Koro and later Dynasty Warrior entries.

11. Brigham Young (Brigham Young/American Primeval): the second broadly recognized leader of the LDS faith who was territorial governor of Utah. His treatment in historical fiction varies wildly. His racism, forced polygamy, and hostility to forces opposed to his theocratic rule are more commonly acknowledged in modern works like American Primeval.

12. George Armstrong Custer (They Died with their Boots/Little Big Man): a decorated Civil War officer who engaged in brutal campaigns against Native Americans in the west before dying at Little Big Horn. Works that glorify him try to show him as a brave faultless man while other critical takes portray as a foolhardy buffoon.

1) Near Dark- This cowboy at the beginning of the movie is giving a girl a ride home and she’s urgent to get back. He shuts his truck off just miles away from her house, puts the keys down his shirt, and says he’s not going anywhere until she gives him a kiss. That’s just creepy and weird. If the girl wants to kiss you, she will do it on her own.

2) James Bond- I haven’t seen all the movies, but most of them, and he is constantly putting women in a position where he has power over them or uses the situation to his advantage to get a sexual favor. “Oh, we are stuck on this boat, we might as well get jiggy with it”, “The walls are closing in and we have minutes to live… get jiggy with me”, “We are fake married to trick people, but to make the marriage feel more real we need to absolutely get jiggy together after I finish these oysters”, “I have a gun and you don’t…jiggy time”.

I just hate it because it’s like the writers put it in because they themselves have no idea how to get laid or maybe they want us to think the characters suck. I know there’s hundreds of examples, but I just kept it at two to give you all more free roam of the topic.

Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer....drawn the typical large-boobed thin-framed manner typical of a lot of female characters in shounen anime, the writers try to claim that her body contains "extremely dense musculature" ....and then does everything in the show to deny that.

Saber from Fate Stay Night....tries to act as if she is overly muscular when her body resembles that of a young teenage girl, not an adult with muscle.

Any example of firearms being lazily or incorrectly depicted, whether for dramatic effect or simply because the writers didn't bother to check.

Rango (2011): Rango's Single Action Army is depicted with a swing-out cylinder. While extremely common in revolvers nowadays, the SAA used a loading gate, the cylinder was unable to be moved from its position without disassembling the firearm.

Ant-Man (2015): During the mexican stand-off, all of the characters are seen cocking the hammers of their Glock pistols, of which all models have internal hammers.

The Walking Dead S1E1 (2010): Rick tells the new guy to take the safety off his Glock 17, which has no external safety mechanism. Instead, he simply wiggles the slide release.

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008): When reloading the "Carbine Rifle", Niko will yank on an imaginary charging handle and wills 30 new rounds into the magazine with the power of happy thoughts and well wishes. While crouching, he does replace the magazine, however.

Various FPS Games: In many depictions of weapons where the fire selector is visible to the player, more often than not it is set to "Safe", if not completely broken, such as the case of the M16A4 in Modern Warfare 3 (2011).

While seen as stoic, quiet, and reserved, these are characters who are portrayed as eating very often throughout their appearances in their respective series.

Chisa (Wuthering Waves) - The city where she's from was struck by a cataclysmic event, essentially trapping the citizens in a time loop. Because the people there no longer feel hunger, Chisa eats a lot to not feel "numb" like them.

Oguri Cap (Uma Musume) - Eats a lot as a reference to the real-life Oguri Cap racehorse she was based on, who also possessed a voracious appetite.

Akame (Akame Ga Kill) - Can't remember if there was a lore reason for it since it's been a long time since I watched it... but yeah, she just eats a lot xD

Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time
Maisie Lockwood from Jurassic Park/World series
Flag Smashers from MCU
Danzo from Naruto
Lysandre from Pokemon X/Y

I have a love/hate relationship toward “Well-Intended Extremist” tropes. At times, they function effectively—such as Nagato/Pain, Mr. Freeze, Lady Eboshi, Henry J. Waternoose III, and Miguel O’Hara—serving as cautionary figures whose consequences challenge protagonists to improve the situation without making destructive choices. In other cases, the handling or portrayal can become irritating or exhausting.

What If - In one of the comics Miles becomes Thor, and it's full of stereotypes about black people such as the Mjolnir having graffiti on it and the infamous "by Odin's fade"

Emilia Perez - Everything about the movie

Bohemian Rhapsody: they change a lot of the dates, especially when it involves certain songs. The scene where Freddie and Mary break up, they're watching the Rock in Rio show. The part where the crowd sang did happen, however this happened in 1985, not in the 70s. Freddie finding out he has AIDS, in real life, he didn't get AIDS until April of 1987. Also, Mike Myers character Ray Foster isn't real, although he's based on an actual EMI Executive.

Michael: The thing that the movie got sorta right was Joe Jackson. The movie sugarcoats his character a lot. While it is true that he did beat Michael, it wasn't just him, all of the Jackson kids got the same treatment.

CHAOS - Castlevania Franchise

It was introduced chronologically in the penultimate entry of the series. Chaos was explained as the source of Dracula's power, a sort of Lovecraftian entity that is just quite literally pitch black.

This type of trope can get divisive or hated immediately, but why I think Chaos works is that it doesnt take much agency from Dracula himself and still plays with the themes of the game.

Dracula's Castle is often a symbol for humanity's darkness and the reason why it always appears both during times of unrest (both World Wars) or when humans just want to fuck around and find out. Chaos is fueled by the negative emotions of humans, and Chaos powers Dracula and his castle. Dracula then becomes an agent of Chaos. It can also explain as to how even after Symphony of the Night that he returns evil every time.

What's cool about this is that Chaos lives in the Chaotic Realm, where amalgamations of the Castle live, which directly calls back to Alucard saying that the castle is a creation of Chaos back in SotN.

So when you go back to previous games and encounter Dracula in his second form where the background changes, you can relate the black hole in the Background as Chaos. These visual choices are of course not intentional to be Chaos, but after its entry, we can assume.

Unfortunately, the entity, just like it, does not give a lot of information or was never fleshed out cause the franchise died for almost 2 decades before Belmont's Curse so we only have theories. One theory relates Chaos way back to Dracula's first attack against humanity in 15th century during the events of Dracula's Curse. If the Japanese manual was properly translated, it's revealed that Dracula made deals with entities more powerful than him in order to acquire more power. The series is not unfamiliar with retcons (Alucard was human, but Dracula sold his soul to one of these entities and he became a vampire, but literally no one knows this backstory now and only remember him as the retconned Dhampir in SotN), and the theory states that Chaos is either one of the entities or the only entity. What also holds this theory weight is how Igarashi (main guy in SotN and future Igavanias) have stated that his favorite Classicvania is Dracula's Curse, which is reflected with how he tells the 1999 Demon War as a sort of modern parallel of the events in that game.

Arkham from Devil May Cry 3: Arkham messes with Dante when you first meet him, and goofily dances around his bullets when trying to shoot him

Jevil from Deltarune: His name is a portmanteau of Joke and Devil

Bill Cipher From Gravity Falls: He messes with the cast constantly such as calling Grunkle Ford "sixer" or playing "Eenie Menie Miney YOU!" when picking which child to turn into a corpse.
