THIS. Especially if the bully is popular.

Whenever the popular kids are shown to be dumb jerks who pick on the smart, kind unpopular kids for no reason, you can just see the author projecting way too hard.

It's one that's really started exploding just recently: The nerdy fanboy/fangirl who excitedly comments on story tropes as they happen ("You have an archnemesis? THAT. IS. AWESOME!") and uses internet slang or memes ("Epic fail!").

I've run into it on Warehouse 13, Eureka, Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD, and a few others.

The oldest example I can think of is Hiro from Heroes.

>>69001014
there's one redeemable point that makes alfrid kinda bearable. he defeats the trope because he gets away with it. in the end, he steals a bunch of gold, dresses as a woman to avoid going to battle and flees. all ends well for him.

>>69002551
perhaps you should be watching different shows then
or better yet no tv at all

I stopped watching all of them because I couldn't put up with those characters. I wanted to give them a chance, but they were just too shitty.

holy f never mind, I read what happens in the extended version.

>In the Extended Version he later hides in a catapult attached to a dead Troll, watching as Gandalf confronts another Troll unsuccessfully trying to use his staff's power. However, one of Alfrid's coins slips off his corset and falls on the catapult lever. The coin acts as counterweight, throwing Alfrid inside the troll's mouth. Both Alfrid and the troll are asphyxiated, unadvertently saving Gandalf.

o shit no. bugger me with a bloody spear.
