I don't think I've ever seen this. I want to know now.

Star Wars?

Huh, I guess so. Never really got that vibe, but I can see it.

People who claim to be progressive are just holding equality back by perpetuating the idea that a female character being badass is shocking.
>Goofy, dumb, plain-looking, dumb husband
>Pretty, smart, capable, level-headed wife
I'm looking at YOU, every sitcom ever made.
>>78276726
Don't feed the frogposter. You know better, /co/.
>>78278901
Isn't it, though?
In all seriousness, if they wanted to do it properly they'd just allow the character to be a badass naturally and not make a big deal of it, i.e. Fury Road.
>>78278925
Let's be fair. Everyone would oppose the opposite, and having an attractive man marry an attractive woman leaves us with no self-insert.
>>78278959
I like how Undertale handled it. It's not obvious Undyne is female when she's in her helmet and armor, but characters refer to her as "she" long before the helmet comes off and it's not treated as a big surprise.
>>78278901
This is when I dropped Doctor Who this season.
>>78279059
Yeah, I was going to post an addendum that it could never be any other way.
Sometimes the wife character can seem too flawless though.

>get married and stay married to each other forever

>Female character almost gets the entire team killed because she threw a childish tantrum
>She says she's sorry and the team instantly forgives her and acts like nothing happened.
>Female character meets with the villain later and they fuck like rabbits in heat.

Every sitcom ever made except Bob's Burgers and King of The Hill.
>>78279155
I think Lois Griffin and Bonnie Smith started out as the standard sitcom housewives but turned into sociopaths just like every other FG/AD character.
>>78278064
>>78278116
Pretty sure it happened to jack spicer too
>>78279255
I mean Francine Smith. D'oh.
>>78278595
Stars Wars did it.
>Muh Obi-wan who could jump around on Lava ramps of death
>Dies because he looks away just once
Shonen are weirdly fond the hell out of it. Writers just really like to make badass mentor characters just so they can Job.
>>78279155
I like how Gumball treats this. She's not the "Smart, caring sensitive wife figure" of most sitcoms, she's an overbearing psychopath who puts her kids through hell so they can succeed. She's like the "Good mom" trope taken to it's logical extreme in the form of a rabid Tiger Mom.
>>78279479
Obi-Wan purposefully let Vader kill him, though.
>>78279528
>Tiger Mom
>is a cat
Was this intentional, or do I have too much faith in CN writers?
>Christmas episode
>one of the main cast is suddenly revealed to be Jewish
>the black friend celebrates Kwanzaa
>This is never brought up again
>Enemy turns good
>He jobs super hard after
Looking at you Vegeta.
>>78280906
Who the fuck even celebrates fucking Kwanzaa?
>>78280972
Is it a cliche to him if he was pretty much the inventor of it?
>>78279117
To be honest though real armor wouldn't be form fitting so you could tell that someone inside is a girl or guy anyway.
>>78276726
>if you die here you die in real life!

What show did this happen in?
>>78281400

Holy fucking shit, it's more /a/ related but fuck, SAO is one the worst examples of having a mary sue protagonist

>Muh secret DUAL-WHEEL power

Fuck, i really needed to vent
>>78281720
Mahouka is even worse, plus there's added racism.
>>78281403
Dragonball Z
>>78281502
I'd be shocked it it only happened twice.
