>Earlier antagonist joins up with protagonist to fight greater evil
>protagonist is the one who set the evil scheme in motion before losing his memories
>villain has a cat
They don't really do that anymore after James Bond
>anti-hero saves protagonist from villain so he can kill him himself
Inspector Gadget.
>4channer posts green text thread
I love those
>What is every Bat Man story
Name 3 movies that do this, apart from Memento.
Predestination is one that I know of.
Death Note
Antagonist was only doing what he's doing to safeguard against a greater evil
> Protagonist becomes exactly what they were fighting against, maybe even worse.

Love this trope
>villain lairs
>death traps
>superweapons
>confident girl strips/change clothes in front of shy girl who gets embarrassed
The Grudge
>villain appears
>they're introduced playing classical music
>protagonist takes a big fat shit in his hand and eats it, winks at the screen and says "Yummy!"
ah, a fellow connoisseur of scatkino
any use of the chekhov's gun technique gets me hype, especially I they blueballs you with not letting a character use it in a various scene before they actually do
Name minus one daguerreotype collection that does this.
The Chinese version of Shrek
Touché
The sad clown.
They always manage to be at least captivating.
You don't really see this that much anymore.
Besides in Warcraft
>Antagonist realizes is evil, antagonistic ways are wrong and becomes the/a good guy by the end of the movie
>Meanwhile, the protagonist who is fighting the antagonist in the name of good and justice becomes obsessed with catching/defeating him and strays farther and farther from the side of justice - becomming the villain in the end.

>protagonist is the bad guy or morally ambiguous if good
if it's done good, it's great
>female character acts like a bitch
>other characters call her out on it instead of completely ignoring or forgiving her
My nigga. You just know if they weren't in a movie the confident one would get excited and they'd have some lewd interactions
This one is good but I can't think of any real great examples
Wasn't there also a scene in this where Seth Rogen's character has a monologue about how he's not ignoring the issue but until his friend is dead he's not going to mourn or something that was really nice and justifiable for the "happy go lucky friend stays happy go lucky in the face of tragedy" trope?
>protagonist saves everything but is left with nothing
Is that tripod cat
>The final boss of the movie is the protagonists former mentor
yeah, but he's not really a tripod. He just dislocated his hind leg.
Not a movie but Knights of the Old Republic springs to mind
...
>villain defeated in his lair
>lair starts collapsing around him
>villain uses a bottle of olive oil for each dish
>main bad guy is destroyed
>all the lesser bad guys are disabled/die
Not canon anymore.
>sidekick proves their worth
I hate olive oil. It taste like shit to me.
You're not supposed to drink it
>Death Note
>a storm or other natural disaster brings destruction but also allows for positive change and growth for the characters
lmao this
Every slasher trope. I love that shit.
I hate when they try to 'subvert' tropes too much in that kind of movie.
I have to. I can't take a shit without some lube in my belly/collon for some reason.

>the bad guys the protagonist was sent to kill turn out to be good guys and the good guys the protagonist was working for turn out to be the real bad guys
>bitch/dick in horror movie turns out to have a heart of gold and dies saving the life of the main character
Ah yes, Shuhrekuh. I believe I've seen that one.
nono, that's the Jap version. The Chinese version is Shi-Lek
>seemingly unstoppable villain is taken out by a completely random incident
Kino trope
No, that's the jap version. Chinese version is called Xuhreik. In english, it's translated as Human Ogre: First Sequence for some reason...
>villain defeats hero
>then ejaculates in the hero's face
Name 4 films
Total Recall, motherfucker
No Country for Old Men
Although he isn't quite "taken out"
I disliked that. I thought Javier Bardem was meant to be the inevitable Death, but then he gets fucking rammed anyway.
>character confesses an important secret but no one believes it because it's absurd
>Character has erectile dysfunction because his cat keeps staring at him with soul-piercing eyes
>turns out the protagonist was recording it and the villain is busted
>villain knew they were being recorded the whole time and foils the snitch's plan
i like this one better
But that never happens
I'm Ozark the redneck girl realises she's being recorded and tells the snitch really clearly that it was his idea to kill someone and not hers
Oh i was thinking of getting into that series
i guess not then
It's painfully average
So am i
