I want more; it's such fertile ground for both philosophy and cosmic horror.
>>80860532
Yeah but it requires an ending of sorts, that doesn't go back to status quo. So there's a limited ground for that.
Remember when Cable was Jesus?
>>80860340
It's a "I need to arrest you, but i fuck you" Plot
>>80860340
>It's a santa is trying to kill me plot
>>80860575
I totally don't. Never read anything of Cable.
Pic related is, of course, the iconic example.
>>80860664
Unless it happened more than once I think they're talking about cable and deadpool which was pretty entertaining. It's been hard but I remember when he made his own country or whatever there were a few Jesus things going on there.
>>80860664
It was an alternate timeline that lasdted less than an issue, in true Cable fashion.
>>80860340
>it's a hero's powers are amplified by [blank] but it makes them lose control of themselves and they have to give it up episode
>>80860717
he made his own floating utopia city. He had to (reluctantly) kick Deadpool out and after that it went without a hitch
y'know, until he was killed and the whole thing literally came crashing down
>"You may be an evil genius
>who has killed and tortured dozens of people

>and caused several rare species of frog to go extinct

It's a "Superman's strength is used as a prop in a philosophical dilemma" episode
Why doesn't this show up more often?
>>80860891
killing is also illegal
>>80860340
>it's a who watches the watchmen plot
>It tries to justify the presence of superheroes who consider themselves above the law
>>80860340

faggot

>>80860891
>BUT IF I KILL YOU I'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU!!!"
This one gets greentexted all the time but I've seen like maybe one actual example ever.
>>80860340
It's a "how autist can I be" thread.
>>80861519
autist, how can I be?
>>80860340
>it's a hero's identity becomes public plot
>everyone IMMEDIATELY turns on the guy saving lives on a daily basis

>its a close friend becomes a monster but the hero tries to talk it down saying "I KNOW YOU CAN FIGHT IT! REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!" episode
>>80861306
So is jay walking.
Being a faggot is also illegal in some places but that doesn't stop you.
>>80861488
Bats and supers are too good examples i guess, i mean, fuck, look at all the shit Joker and Luthor alone already did, yet they never fucking kill them already to preserve countless lives, the green lantern corps are also to blame for this, shit went so far the book of oa had to be rewritten because they literally weren't allowed to kill anyone even during wars
>>80862042

>>80861618
>male characters acting extremely ooc
>its a series of competitions to test their strength, speed, etc
>get too cocky and lose a bunch of times
>at the end males learn to not underestimate females
>>80862104
I never see the "I'll be just like you" argument used, though. Bats doesn't kill because he doesn't trust himself to draw the line anywhere else, and Supes doesn't want people to be afraid of him.
It's an "I'm you.... __ years from the future" episode
>>80860532
Read Divinity.
>>80862290
>i came from the future to warn you about something terrible
>character proceeds to do things differently, which implies a different ending
>it just ends in the bad future again, creating a loop
>episode ends with character going back in time again
>>80862143
>Plot needs a physically strong female character
>Show puts an attractive girl in who is still skinny as a pole
>Just magically is stronger than anybody else.
>>80862353
I know it is a common plot, but I really like episodes like that.
>>80862441
While that scene was bullshit, the actions of Iroh cuddling up to her (or trying to) all episode make it worth it.
>>80862441
CNS gains over mass.
>It's a transexual character
>Played by an actor who was born the gender they are
>That's supposed to be progressiv for some reason
>>80865200
Not even remotely /co/, but pic related is probably the only reverse example of that.
>it's a Loser being bullied episode
>the Loser is being bullied by everybody in the episode, even his closest friends
>Loser finally snaps and lashes out at everyone who wronged him
>"You know what, Loser? I think the real bully was YOU all along."
Alternate ending:
>the Loser fucks off; finds new friends who like him for who he is
>the old friends suddenly want him back
>the Voice of Reason tells the Loser that he's the show's punching bag and that he should learn to like it
>Loser ditches the new friends without a second thought
>>80865654
Being bullied isn't an excuse for being a dick.
>>80866947
You're right, it isn't.
However it is an excuse for fighting back, unless you like being a doormat.
>>80867110
>unless you like being a doormat.
So, pretty much the majority of japanese male protagonists?
>>80867227
The majority of Japanese people as a whole

>it's a trying to catch / kill santa plot
>>80860340
>it's an episode where the main character wants to be a little more popular but when it happens it's too much to handle because the whole world wants to fuck your little kid bones out
pisses me the fuck off, wanting to be slightly more popular than who you are now doesn't mean you instantly jump to god-tier levels. Why did they never just show this shit?
Worse than the Rocko episode where he wants to be a little taller but when his wish comes true he's too fucking tall to do anything but kill people.
That wasn't what he fucking wanted.
What is this fucking trope
>>80868087
Adults not understanding subtle shit.
>>80860362
Courtney
Yo, good taste brotha
>>80867110
Give an example where it was defending onesself and not revenge.
>>80862202
Also, if Supes starts interfering too deeply, it inevitably turns into yet another "Superman takes over the world; becomes fascist dictator" plot.
