That happens in Ex-Aid

>character who's pushed around for the entire show is responsible for villain's demise

>villain has the same powers/abilities as the hero
>villain's design incorporates elements of hero's design but inverted/twisted

>Comic-relief that was never taken seriously is actually OP as shit

>girl power without feminism

>Heroes body is basically giving up after taking a serious beating
>He just keeps weakly trying to stand up and keep going

Better yet, an orchestrated version of the main theme ala Sonic games. The ending of Colors is Kino

>good character possesses aspects of a series antagonist
>bonus points if character is a descendant of the villain
>bonus points if the character is in the main cast
>bonus points if character clashes with the villain they share abilities with

Man I used to love this trope before the MCU ran it into the fucking dirt.

...

indeed

>Back in Black

which shows did this best, besides early Powerpuff Girls?

PPG a shit. It actually ruined girl power cartoons.

Look at the fucking pic and figure out which show.

Fuck off B.I.T.C.H.fag

>character is a well-known powerful figure in legend/fiction, but in the show is actually kind of a pushover
>everyone gets used to the fact that they're not as consistently intimidating as they're written about
>someone eventually pushes them too far and they prepare to unleash genuine hell onto the fool
>suddenly everyone in the show (and the audience) is reminded that this character, for all the goofiness, is still a fucking canonical badass

Show?

Grim does it periodically in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Satan kind of does it at the end of the South Park movie. Those are two that
I remember off the top of my head

Mlp

>heroes are getting killed during the ending.
>music thats happy and upbeat/contrasting the tone plays, such as youtube.com/watch?v=zhjNm20XbXw

>character has the option to do something that will help them, but hurt others
>circumstances are such that if they do the thing, nobody will ever know that they did
>they're tempted, but still decide to do the right thing

This one gives me a boner.

I was just about to say the same thing.

Also Lord Hater essentially. He starts off as the greatest evil force in the universe, becomes a joke, then not only comes up with a top tier plan but wrecks Dominator.

>Main villain is an abstract evil, essentially a force of nature beyond basic constructs, that plays a game far larger than most of the characters can comprehend

m.youtube.com/watch?v=pdOlZi7H90s

Also Great Destruction Bringer in Ultraman Gaia, which might be one of my favorite Ultraman enemies of all time.

>Villains are afraid of the IRS

Shadow Raiders

Jade a best

>Character turn himself into a pickle

>villain shit-talks the entire fight about how badass they are (destroyed worlds, slaughtered ,) and how weak the hero is
>Hero proceeds to beat the shit out of them last minute while tearing down said villain's claims
The JLU final episode and Superman vs. Ultraman illustrate this beautifully. Loved how Supes tore down Ultraman by how much easier it was to just kill an opponent rather than dealing with them as they evolve and grow, all while beating his ass with actual prowess instead of "hit hard."

>hero falls to the dark side
>becomes the scariest motherfucker alive, even moreso than the other villains
Hell yeah.

>guy is getting his ass beat
>time slows down
>classical/upbeat music is playing
>he's thinking about happy memories to distract him from the ass beating

Main villain wants the hero to join his side.

>girl character is the intelligent one
>just as wacky/same sense of humor as the male character

joke villain becomes an actual threat

Ludo's early S2 arc has to be one of the best villain lines that I can currently think of

It's a shame Toffee had to upstage him again

>Old character who is either in a wheelchair, or frail. Is considered extremley weak and can't fight anybody

>When Shit gets real, and he steps out of his wheelchair, or stands up tall and is actually one of the strongest characters in the show and stars to kick ass

coco makes me feel things.

What if it's a whole group of girl characters like that?

>hero and villain are friends outside of general conflicts
>villain does nice/everyday things
>hero is an active member of the community

>Character starts falling/drops something
>Melancholic choir plays
Bonus points if the falling includes flashbacks

>two recurring villains team up for an episode

Bonus points if:

>They sing a villain song together

>transformation episode
>character turns back to normal at the end, but there's signs that they still have physical and/or psychological leftovers from their transformation

>God tier mode: For the rest of the series, there are occasionally

any examples?

While Tv Tropes' community is pretty shit, this page sums up what I'm talking about pretty well

tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotQuiteBackToNormal

>ally suffers fall from grace and turns evil
>spends a great deal of time battling heroes
>gets finally taken down but gets mercy and a chance to come back to the good side
>ultimately stays adamant on the grudge and tells former friends to fuck off to keep doing evil shit
It's a nice kind of tragedy

>Big bad evil is unleashed/unsealed
>Rewards the person who unleashed them instead of killing them
>person who unleashed them becomes The Dragon

Bonus points if the person who unleashed the evil was a good guy and has reflected/corrupted powers he once had.

>character has a strict set of rules they follow religiously
>...to the letter, not the spirit
and
>character has a lot of self-imposed restrictions on what they do or say
>it's revealed that it's not a moral code
>they just like the challenge
I love both of these, but I've only ever seen my Mary-Sue OC have both. It's great when they come into play, though.

>cast need something or a job to get done and go to a certain character for help
>character gets offended for being thought to be able to help/ being stereotyped
>is actually able to do exactly what they needed

It's a great one.
"Oh, so just because I'm a nerdy shut-in, I must be able to hack into the most secure sites on the Web?"
"..."
"Okay, fine, I've got the FBI's database right here, what do you guys need?"

...

>older tutor or mentor has a showdown with his former friend- turned enemy
or
>he fights the minions with the young student and is still is able to kick arse

>character who is a goofball or weakest of the team can still beat up normal people because he's still trained
>even goes as far as to use street punks as sparring practice

Does Sup Forums really like the "comic relief/thought to be weakest character turns out to be really strong"? Because I see it or a variation multiple times in literally every thread like these

how does that quote in Bojack Horseman go?
>I don't know maybe because there's cameras all over the driveway and I've got a friend who works on the monitors and shit
>or maybe because SHE TOLD ME

Or maybe it's just 3-5 guys who post it on every single thread.

It's good when not overused.

>Character who starts out naive and inexperienced is a complete badass by the end

>Old flame of the MC is reunited with him

>Pick up their relationship

>relationship drama between them is minimal/caused by outside things rather than inexplicable bouts of douchebaggery

Again, Jade a best

My doggo used to do this when he was still alive. I always thought he liked it for a good stretch. That and/or it prolly felt good on his dong, cuz he drug his whole bottom half when he did it.

My dogs did it to, it's basically how they stretch

what kind of things does coco make you feel?

>Character, usually the protag, is absolute fucking badass, dreaded by basically everyone else
>Strikes genuine fear into a major villain
>Sequel/second season or whatever, character is gone and another cast has replaced the original cast
>Everything seems to be going usually, villain from original is back or is a recurring character
>Suddenly the character appears, older and more hardcore than ever, and the villain and literally anyone else who remembers him lose their fucking shit in terror
youtube.com/watch?v=wlFTRLKboFo

>the hero is pathological bloodthirsty homicidal maniac... that makes fun out of slaughter.

Deadpool movie kinda ruined this for me because exposed to greater audience.

>Evil wins
>Their victory is hollow and void, and they are left with a lifetime of misery of their own making

>Hero is Op, or pretty close.
>he/she lets herself get beat on, talked shit to by low-level punks/family.
>Only unleashes their full power on enemies that can take it.
>Shit-tier regular abusers catch sigh of their usual victim actually being nightmare-level badass.
>Realization of punks and shitty family when they realize their victim does not ever consider them a worthy threat.

>>person who is thought to be main bad guy or works for the main bad guy ends up helping the main character in the end or helping the next generation of heros.

>Asshole Chad learns from his mistakes
>becomes Good Guy Chad
WHY DID THE MODS DELETE THE KING STEVE THREAD?! REEEE---

>remember tropes that you love/hate
>forget them every time these threads come up

Any examples of this?

...

Seriously... Sup Forums has the worst mods.

>Hero has dual personality
>One good, one evil
>Good personality wins out

Don't I fucking know it? The thread got a 100 or so replies in an hour or so. People were having fun and there was agreat discussion. But some fuckface deleted it. And for fucking what?

>the two personalities merge to become something even stronger

>The villain wins.

>Villain who loses sanity regains a small fraction back
>becomes an even tougher opponent

>Hero is losing to main Villain
>Then sees dead Dad/Mom/Mentor
>Tells them he cant win hes not strong enough
>Then dead Dad/Mom/Mentor tells him the power is been with him the whole time then the Hero come back and beats the Villain

German

>it's only feminism when my cognitive dissonance doesn't shield my sensitive feelings
The most meaningless kind of hate.

You're right, but people will act as though you're not right. That's the way of things.

The Wormtongue effect.

That's a fucking bullshit and terrible trope please kill yourself.

>it's only feminism when my cognitive dissonance doesn't shield my sensitive feelings
It actually hurts trying to parse this word salad.

But to elaborate on my post, girl power is great if and only if (1) the girls are non-stereotypical and overall well-written, rounded characters and (2) still very much into boys. Any other instances of this trope are disgustingly feminist.

>Villain loses so hard his mind fucking breaks

I liked this before I watched Hunter x Hunter.

>co trope thread
>iit is filed with batle shounen tropes

every time

Isn't this Aangs whole character? A goofy kid that hosts the souls of an eternity of legendary warriors?

Tax evaison is no laughing matter.

And you expect something different because...?

Not even trolling, I just don't get your complaint.

I expected comic and cartoons tropes in the tropes thread in the comic and cartoons board

>villain attempts to give final speech after being beaten by hero
>hero shoots him in the head mid word

No such thing as "comics and cartoons tropes"...
The whole point of tropes is that they can be used in any medium, you literal dumbass faggot!

>all previous villains of the series team up
>bonus points if each one of them was a major villain in a previous season

They obviously didn't lose that bad if they'd still alive.

Name three cartoons with OP's troope

Why did you link my post?

>Heroes have trouble dealing with villain
>They recruit the previous seasons villain from jail/the past/Phantom zone to help them
>Villain is reluctant but in the end helpful and civil about the whole thing and casually interacts with the heroes
>Bonus points for variations of "How did you dumbasses ever beat me?"

>infighting occurs but the heroes don't just win because of it
>each major villain gets the upper hand in turn

>Hero is struck by revelation he was being played all along.
>Gets depressed, and just walks around the town
>Bumps into small timers who first think it's some badass, but one retarded guy attacks hero anyway
>hero is too depressed to fight back
>few days later hero gains new resolve to become anti-hero
>meets those small timers again who are now acting hot shit.
>destroy thems
