>You missed.
>I wasn't aiming for you.
>Bunch of crazy contraption shit straight out of the boardgame Mouse-Trap happens
>Hits the target

character is undisciplined but has more potential than the ones who chose to train diligently/ training suits them rather than conform to the training like everyone else.

Wasn't there a Burger King ad that went like that?

...

nips pls go

>Red Herring is more interesting than the actual answer
>plot twist/twist ending makes the story worse

>Character appears to die.
>Is later revealed to be perfectly fine, even if it makes no logical or narrative sense

I tried that and it didn't work

i actually like the second one, since it helps set underscore that the person is wired differently, and the coach is observant enough to note that the normal way isnt working, smart enough to devise an alternative, and caring enough to do so

the first one can go to hell though, training is everything

>It's a "ditch the supernatural and go back to your life of complete mundanity" ending

>It's a your fetish episode
>It happens to everybody except the female character(s)

>Male character makes a mistake/lapse in judgement with minor negative consequences
>Publicly humiliated, badly injured, and/or nearly killed

>Female character makes a mistake/lapse in judgment with major negative consequences
>Utterly unscathed physically and emotionally

Was there?

>MC has a useless fat ass sidekick who gets in the way all the fucking time.

Most recent examples is Trollhunters, Tobias is fucking annoying.

What is The Legend of Korra for 500

I loathe that shit. That and...
>final conflict results in all magic and wonder to be removed from the world because the setting is ancient Earth and needs to explain why modern day Earth has no magic

>mc finally tells his friends/family/love interest of his secret magic power/love
>they handle it pretty good
>finally some character development
>end of thr episode they get amnesia and forget everything

Are you mad ? Tobias is the best fucking character

>character is smart
>their knowledge is shown by them reciting the dictionary definition of some uncommon word
>even though there's no indication otherwise they're the kind of sperg who just commits dictionaries to memory
>they're just SO SMART, apparently, that for this example and this example only they're suddenly speaking in word-for-word dictionary format

it sounds like something you'd see only in dumb kids' cartoons but I've seen it in a lot of things. if it's part of someone's character that they normally talk like that or make a habit of memorizing dictionaries or something, that's one thing, but it never is

What the fuck.
I feel like I already read these tropes a thousand times before, come up with something new for fuck's sake.

this is a trope because it happens often with actual people in the real world

tropes I hate:
Goths or edgy characters that dress in black but you get to know them and they are softies.

Goths should just die. Its overdone. Find something else to exploit

I don't normally read these threads so it's definitely possible someone's posted the same shit

no he's not, the shapeshifter baby and the protagonist are

Personally that joke will always be funny, it's the execution and delivery that mates most

>bully character turns over a new leaf
>becomes well-liked and is finally happy
>due to some bullshit problem, they have to be the bully again for everyone else's sake
>nobody ever acknowledges that they're anything more than a bully again

>overly nice and/or weak-willed character gets power/influence/etc
>goes out of control with power and acts like a dick towards their friends
>only goes back to their old self and apologizes AFTER their power is stripped, implying that they would still probably behave like an asshole again if they were to ever get that power back

>bully character shows up and antagonizes the main characters
>bully never turns over a new leaf
>not well-liked but won't stop showing up
>he mellows out and just enjoys the main character hijinks
>but he's still "the bully"
>eventually the other kids warm up to him more
>he never officially changes his stance as a bully but it's pretty clear he's friends with the other kids
>later on in the series it's brought up how is close he is to "his nerd" and vice versa
>he and the other kids are increasingly nice and kind to each other, they have in-jokes and quip witticism, even refer to each other as friends
>but he's still "the bully"

But new shit wouldn't be a trope, new shit is what we want.

Are you referring to Spectacular Spider Man?

A few shows have done that. Phineas and Ferb did it too.

This made me angry. Too many shows have done this

I think Herald from Hey Arnold, and Nelson from the Simpsons also felt the bill. Maybe MuscleMan, though towards the end they treat him as a true friend.

>Maybe MuscleMan, though towards the end they treat him as a true friend.
Even better

>new villain is introduced
>wrecks everything
>proves to be a psychopathic piece of shit who cares only for his goals
>"why are you doing this?"
>"because -extremely minor offense that could have easily been talked out and solved in a conversation-"
>instantly forgiven and allowed to go free because he just "made a mistake"

You know who else used to be the bully?

>I am an asshole because my mother hit me once
>now forgive all my past crimes
no, that's not how this is supposed to work

works for me

Tu madre es mui calliente

huh

That cannot be for real....FUCK!

fuck you, that's hilarious

How about, almost EVERY current Disney trope?

>Girl meets a "hot" boy (he's just twink trash)
>So entitled, she expects him to fell in love with her at the first moment.
>Boy doesn't feel attracted to the girl, because he doesn't think she's hot.
>Girl gets offended and later punishes the boy, telling him that there's more than the exterior (despite the fact that she only fall in love with the boy just for his exterior).

>Girl (16 or 17 y.o.) dreams with dating a muscled and chivalrous man.
>Such man finally appears.
>Girl like always manages to hook up with the man instantly because plot reasons.
>Man is such a 9/10 bf.
>Man doesn't want Girl to be near the danger.
>>"You are being a sexist piece of shit! We're done with this fucking relationship, because us girls are better than you"

>Boy loves a certain Girl.
>Such girl also loves the boy.
>Girl's friends happens to love the boy too, and she asks him out before the girl.
>Boy rejects her because there's someone else.
>Boy later asks the girl out.
>Girl has to rejects him because of her friend.

>Show has an episode dedicated about how women should wear whatever they want, because men should accept them as how they are.
>Later episodes a woman tells a boy (usually it's the brother) that he dresses so dorkly, and that he should change to suits because no girl will ever date him like that.

Don't you think we already have enough whining about Glimgollum on /mlp/?

What about when they teach him wrong on purpose?

>girls vs boys episode
>the little sister is conniving and always gets away with it

Pt. 2

>Girl dreams with dating a certain boy because he's so perfect for her.
>Boy finally accepts being her boyfriend.
>Girl starts changing every aspect he had.

>Girl celebrates with her boyfriend their one week/month // half year anniversary.
>She gets mad because the boyfriend didn't considered such day as something so important to celebrate it.

>Typical "boys vs. girls" episode.
>A female character mentions how boys are the ones who always wins in the media, and how girls deserve to finally get a victory.

>Boy tries so hard to get hooked with the girl he always have been in love with.
>Girl usually ignores him.
>Despite all the failures, boy doesn't give up and stays persistent about it.
>Boy usually does great things to get the girl.
>Girl ends up telling him that he's great, but not enough for her to want to be her girlfriend.
>Morality is that girls aren't forced to accept a relationship from a guy that's nice to them, but which they don't feel so attracted with. (That's right, the morality was set for the girls the whole time)

Just, how hard it's for Disney to not have a show centered on relationships?

I'm getting sick of hallucinations in general. They're just used so the director can make shit appear random and scary without it having to make sense, and can get lazy on things like scene transitions. Oh he sudden;y woke up in his bed even though he was at his office,w as it all a dream?

>girls vs boys episode
>all previously established personalities and virtues the characters had are thrown out the door
>All the guys act like meat-headed 'brawn over brains" brutes
>All the girls act conniving and underhanded

Futurama is the only show that comes to mind that handled a battle of the sexes episode at least somewhat decently

Love triangles, period. Also evil businessmen/politicians who rule the world/city.

Iron Man 3. Terrorist Mandarin even made more sense in general.

I like Tobias, but best characters are Blinky, Aaarrrggghhh and Angor Rot.

>"this isn't what it looks like"
>"let me explain"
>"wait character hear me out first"
>"it's all a misunderstanding"
>instead of just FUCKING TELLING WHAT HAPPENED

And here is the one that angers me the most.

>Father usually celebrates the daughter(s) merits, and keeps encouraging them on everything they want.
>Father neglects the son(s) (or even despise them or say how disappointed he's about them) because they're autistic / not as successful as their sister(s).
>>Mother does no shit about it and sometimes even support the father.

The reason why this is the one I hate the most, is because how writers usually add different kind of salt to it:

>Sister mocks the brother about all his defects in front of the parents.
>They do no shit and sometimes they even give her the right
>Brother remains silent.
>>Alternative
>Brother makes a comeback.
>Parents jump on and nags the brother about not being mean with his sister.

>Little sister which happens to be the favorite one.
>Sister comes and manipulates his brother.
>Brother doesn't want to do what she wants him to do.
>Sister tells him that she will tell their parents a lie about him if he doesn't cooperate.

>Brother manages to be successful at something.
>Parents out of nowhere becomes proud of him.
>They stop once recon time comes and takes out his talent.

>School dance is coming.
>Parents encourage the daughter that she will get any man she wants.
>Brother tells them that he's also going to get a date too.
>"Sure"

>Parents give their daughter all the money she wants.
>They tell the brother that if he needs money so bad, he should get a job.
>Brother reacts, and asks them how come his sister doesn't have to work too (she's older or near the same age).
>They tell him that she isn't a disappointment.

Or better yet,

>You missed.
>I wasn't aiming for you.
>crazy contraption shit
>takes ridiculously long
>person has plenty of time to avoid it
>and so they do

Are you talking about the Disney live action shows? I can't think of a single animated Disney film where these things happen.

Projecting there much, buddy?

No, I only got an older brother, and I was the favorite little brother prick who always got everything wished for, and that always mocked the brother for everything

But seriously thought, I'm regretful about that.

>His gibberish actually was the trigger phase for a sleeper agent
>Mayhem ensues

never ever

I'm pretty sure every single one of those was in an episode of Simpsons, so it's not like it isn't something that happens in media.

>Female villain gets off easy no matter how evil she is due to some sobstory about how she went bad
Really wish we had more female villains in the vein of Black Manta/Reverse Flash: hilariously petty, spiteful, and horribly evil for funsies.

actually referring to this (both of them actually applies to this)

but yeah, it often falls on japanese fiction.

You called darling?
youtube.com/watch?v=E6HEG-hw82w
Too bad they made that shitty reverse-heel turn movie.

Pretty much like pic related
The trope is mostly common on almost every sitcom

i thought it was more of "i did no wrong" POV?

like seeing a lex luthor version of the first superman movie with a different take on things.

She literally replaces Prince Phillip as the one whose "True Love Kiss" wakes Sleeping Beauty.

And I can't remember her being ever even close to Maleficent's pure joy in taking vengeance.
In fact, as I remember it wasn't even about not being invited, but because Maleficent was basically the Lorax and the humans were mean to her trees or something.

>character is an asshole to everyone even if they never did something to him
Fuck you Kevin

>Character gets super smart
>Somehow develops psychic powers because they're just sooo smart

The "we're not so different you and I."
Or
The strong female character is really just a jerk, but never gets called out on it.

>the anti social wanker is part of the hero geam by virtue of saving people, but is a massive dick otherwise
Johnny Storm, and Hawke from A.T.O.M.

Same guy here.
Tobias sucks.
The fake baby, strickler and blinky are the best.

Korra was both physically and emotionally rekt though

You think that's bad? How about
>Character is not only stripped of powers and supernatural know but literally forced to strip of all memories of anything but the mundane
>All without their consent while the characters who "decided it" get to keep their powers and continue their adventures, acting smug and superior because they "protected" them or something by erasing their memories and keeping them blissfully ignorant
Hate that shit.

>Bully char turns a new leaf and joins protag as best buds as one of the good guys
>But somehow loses all their aggro and becomes a complete pushover as a result
More prevalent in anime. I don't know why the biggest bullies like Joey or Kuwabara become joke characters after joining up with MC.

Yes!

variation of it

>bad guy who gets beaten often suddenly becomes competent as a good guy

>Characters blandly state something they already know for no reason other than exposition to the audience.

I hate how children are handled in sitcoms and some cartoons. They act to smug or bossy. A good example are the kids from abc sitcoms like Blackish.
>lammmmmmeeeee
>We're having a moment here!
Or when the kid is "smarter" than the parents. Like the parents are okay with their children looking down on them all the time

>Subverted by Totally Spies

Proud Family had a great boys versus girls episode
>Girls condescendingly challenge the boys to football
>screen wipe
>girls are upset and lost like 70-0

>it only happens for a few seconds/minutes
>meanwhile people's shit fetishes are catered to for an entire episode

Man, parents can be fucking retarded.

Zuko.

That's how kids act.
Have you met kids?
They're smug assholes.

Having a villain be "scary" by either being crazy, the literal embodiment of evil, or some allusion to the devil

>It's a feminization/brainwashing episode
>We never get to see it happen to the protag it's intended for a proper Bad End
I know TG is a shit fetish too but still.

>>Sitcom Cartoons
>> Bumbling sometimes idioitic Dad
>> originally used as a counterpoint to Ozzy Nelson and Ward Cleaver.
>> Now has overstayed its welcome.

The blowjobs she could give...

Does anyone have those lists of fetishes each episode caters to?

Arthur? Is that you?

Fucking Nelson.

I think so. The Hamburgler said something and the sports star advertising was all "What'd you say about my mama?" or something.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

>"baby overwhelms babysitter" episode

I swear to fuck, every single cartoon has done this episode at least once

I fucking hate it

There's no formalized list, but this link should detail all the major examples.
fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/Totally_Spies!

I hate that shit but in vidya
Almost dropped skyrim because your protag is such a mary sue

But your character does train dilligently, only bypassing theory and going directly to practice.

In a past thread there were lists posted with fetishes next to episodes that featured them
But thanks

I usually don't like t/f stuff, but that's firmly sitting on the fine line between "cute" and "fappable" for me.

I thought this was tropes we hated?

Well then, enjoy.
