>super specific scenarios are tropes now.

A thread does for this

Give me 4 Sup Forums examples you dumb frog poster

Anything can be a trope.
Trope is not the same as cliche, you know.

>Your fetish happens
>Only happens to the girls

>Old mentor/hero figure sacrifices himself for the younger generation
It's so fucking cliche. But I love it.

...

>elaborately long and specific flashback
>character having it gets asked how he remembered scenes he wasn't there for
It's simple but I find it humorous.

>main protagonist isn't the chosen one but does his/her part assisting the chosen one

I can play that game as well

Why does Sup Forums have such a hard-on for redemption, I will never understand.

not Sup Forums, but dragon quest V did this trope very nicely.

Maybe it's the social/"I just want to have friends" aspect. Problem is, only strong people's redemption matters, and the average Sup Forums user isn't "strong" in any meaningful real life sense (money, power/connections, etc.).

Or maybe it's the starting over aspect which Sup Forums users wish they could do.

Van Rook from Secret Saturdays
Skurge from Simonson Thor
It's the premise of Incorruptible
Doom in Hickman FF

...

>hero is being mind controlled; starts attacking an ally
>"I know you're in there. You have to fight it!"
>clipshow of all the good times the hero & ally had together
>hero successfully breaks free

>It only happens to guys

To be flawed, make mistakes and to learn from, become better and not only cast those flaws away but try and make amends it is a very well wanted feature both in others and ones self.

This is actual worse.

>hated person full of hate finds reasons to live beyond hate

gee I dunno, cocksucker.

>main character is not the chosen one
>chosen one gets BTFO

This is only fun when it's reversed and the antagonists have to convince one of their colleagues to return to villainy

I know it's Sup Forums but goddamnit look at this fucker.

This is Mumen Rider. In a world full of powered capes he's literally just a guy on a bicycle. He's liked and respected because while he has no powers he's still just an all around great guy. His character establishing shot is him getting a balloon out of a tree for some random kid.

But what happens when the bad guy of the week turns up and slaughters half the main cast, half the secondary characters and is about to kill a stadium full of innocent people?

He. Throws. The. Fucking. Bike. At. It.

He knows damn well he doesn't ha e a shot. He has no powers. He has no weapons. He's not even licensed to DRIVE. Even the bystanders know he's fucked, and so are they.

But he's all there is.

So he'll stand.

So he'll fight.

Because someone has to.

And just as he's about to get finished off, there's that same kid, cheering him on with all he's got. The stadium erupts. They don't have a chance, but for a moment... They have hope.

And if that doesn't put a fucking tear in your eye, mcfucking kill yourself.

>I'm a piece of shit so I have no desire to be any better than I could be. I'm very fine with being a piece of shit

I hope you never understand.

>I'm a piece of shit so I have no desire to be any better than I could be. I'm very fine with being a piece of shit


Why do you think people come here in the first place

speaking of great characters

>that annoying character that you wish would fucking die, dies. In a heroic way.

good guys become bad guys


hero goes on the run

Reminded me of freakin' bing bong... lords how I hated that character ... I still hate the whole movie because joy didn't die too...

>bing bong.

who? oh,that guy, i forgot the movie the moment i left the cinema.

>normally sweet and harmless character goes into a rage

Well, he we was chosen to carry the ring later...

a team of heroes, only one female, sharing a ship

Armada Starscream

Wish I could forgot it too... so annoying. And I didn't even watch it in cinema - I played it year after on some website while baking.

>only one female
Ah, those were the days... good old days...

Are we talking about one action or some yandere style shit?

>it's a "name 1488 times that's happened" episode

P5 was mediocre.

>Villain has sidekick
>Villain's sidekick realises all is lost
>Stays to help villain out of loyalty

TV series need more loyal villains.

>Tries to commit suicide by stupidity, while achieving nothing.

Seriously if you can't win at least come up with a good distraction.

But he actually was a distraction, the MC arrives after he gets pounded and defeats the bad guy, user just didn't mention that

>normally sweet and harmless
Go fuck yourself, Jimmy is an absolute backstaber cunt, He is the type of kid I would have enjoyed beat the fuck up when I was a little shit

The Villains also have to have some level of honour or something like that and not be the trope that kills his henchmen just out of shit and giggles

My mind automaticaly jumped to this guy...

The villain is married and both fuck with the protagonists

My favorite part of Rock and Rule is when one of the henchmen kills Mok.
>MY BROTHER'S DEAD

>Old hero is past his prime
>Returns to fight and cleans house

And if MC hadn't arrived, something this guy couldn't have know would happen, he would have died for nothing.

That pic reminds me of Tarakuto from Jackie Chan Adventures.
>Henchmen lose
>They expect to get thrashed
>Tarakuto just tells them it's not a big deal and to rest up for the next mission

you're a faggot dude holy shit

to stave off suicide impulses.

Sure, everyone that comes here is a friendless sociopath, amirite guys?

more or less this

There's some decent people.

Doesn't reddit have more sociopaths than Sup Forums in general or something?

Dunno if your post is about you actually read my post way too literally...
Hopefully if not, yeah /r/eddit legit takes the cake on that regar

whatever we derailed the thread too fucking much. I just want goddamn good tropes for my shitty comic so I can please faggots

>good tropes for my shitty comic
Of course, why else people make Tropes and ITT threads, to data mine ideas.
The best shit so far, We need more of that, like Villain treating humanly its henchmen or even in the free time sharing little moments to out right aventure of some degree

>comic relief character gets serious

This one is so underused, 99% of henchmen just get trashed whenever things go bad, one wonders why they even follow the villain.

>We died once to save this earth, and we can do it again.

>hero is being mind controlled
>"Fight it! Remember all of the good times we had together!"
>clipshows of all the terrible situations the hero and ally were in. Bonus points if it was caused by the ally
>all this does is just make the mindcontrolled hero pissed off

Just the fact that redemption is taking place means there's a dynamic character who's changing the status quo, two things that make stories more interesting.

subtle

Nice plebbit spacing you fucking retard.

>This guy is an idiot, he could have at least been a distraction.
He was.
>H-He couldn't have known that. If he didn't sacrifice himself meaningfully, it would have been meaningless.
Holy shit dude move your goal posts more.

>Villainous couple both genuinely love each other
>If one dies, the other goes absolutely fucking nuts (i.e. doesn't pull the whole "he was weak" shit that happens 99% of the goddamn time) and stomps the hero's shit in for killing their beloved.

You know any stuff with that trope? I only remember something and is an Sup Forums series

Seeing as they've been the same thing sharing plenty of users for years now, not likely.

>some characters are meant to be intimidating or serious.
>fans (or other characters in the show) don't take them seriously in the slightest.

...

>evil villain turns out to be insignificant compared to an out-side threat that suddenly arrives/kills the villain

It's Sup Forums, but Baby Driver. Worth watching for sure.

>look at these fat cow titties

His fat is from the souls of obese children he's absorbed, and he wears that black robe to hide their screaming faces that emanate from beneath his skin.

I too enjoyed Ronin Warriors OP.

>characters are doing a wrasslin' bit
>they have cheep costumes
>they also have pyros somehow

>it only happens to the ugly characters

Sorta with Zaheer and whatserface from LoK. He didn't flip out but it was portrayed as a genuine relationship, and instead losing her allowed him to achieve nirvana. It was pretty cool. Season 3 was the best.
and not just cause I have a crush on Henry Rollins

Sup Forums but this made me think of the dogamy fight in undertale

>robot soldier is freed from his servitude by accident
>frees his brethren expecting them to take up oragami and 3D chess like him
>they kill humans even harder than before because it's fun.

>Old hero is afraid of dying in his bed
>is helped onto the battlefield by young hero
>He holds the gates and dies with a sword in his hand.

>hero is being mind controlled; starts attacking an ally
>>"I know you're in there. You have to fight it!"
>>clipshow of all the good times the hero & ally had together

>the mind controlled hero apologizes as his body kills his friends
>mind controlled hero appears later as a gibbering lunatic in anguish.

That was good

I see someone saw the Reinhardt short.

similar trope but just as awesome
>the hero knows he/she is the only one who can save the day.
>the hero tells people that he/she will live in their hearts.
>then the hero performs a heroic sacrifice.

bump

>Villain protagonists.

There aren't nearly enough.

>timeskip happens
>former villain and main girl are a happy family with children
>MC is still a childish buffoon obsessed with his childish dreams
>Bonus points: MC ended up having a family too, but he's a neglectful moron and his wife is on the cusp of cheating/leaving on him. His son also hates him and is taken under another man's wing.

I doubt Reaper was ever intended to actually be taken seriously.

dragon ball, but who else does this?

Digimon with that bastard Matt.

>like Villain treating humanly its henchmen or even in the free time sharing little moments to out right aventure of some degree
that's not even a fucking sentence

...

To some degree Boruto.

Buzz, Jessie, and Woody in Toy Story 3, though they don't have kids.
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura.
Peter Pan, Wendy, and Edward.
The Illiad/the Oddessy
Bleach, but the genders are reversed.
Nearly every iteration of TMNT where April doesn't end up with Donnie.
Tarzan, Jane, Terk, (genders are flipped).

Maybe pic related depending on where season 3 goes.

>TFW you thought of Boruto before DBZ.

>Crappiest hero on the team dies or goes MIA
>returns but now he's evil and actually poses a threat to be reckoned with

back to /reddit/ with (You)

>hero gets injured or is away training and can't fight alongside the team for an arc
>relatively weak villain proceeds to kick the rest of the teams asses while the MC is not present, because for some reason or another, they are all now magically weak low level fighters that can't even work together to hold their own without the MC being present.
>MC eventually shows up after the villain has gone through several power ups and fights toe to toe with the villain solo while all of his worn down or dead comrades watch in awe, as though they weren't on the same level as the guy a week ago.

>villain is more honorable and moral than the heroes; when he's defeated even the heroes cry for him
>villain catches the hero off duty but lets him go so they can finish things on the battlefield
>villain gives the hero advice that eventually helps him to defeat the villain
>soldiers on opposing sides refuse to fight each other and work together

>one-off gag in a series takes becomes true in real life
