- Gipsy Danger dragging an oil tanker (which actually lengths 180 meters… but the film portrays it slightly smaller than Gipsy) and use it as a bat against Otachi? HARD (Pacific Rim)
- Owen and a gyrosphere standing near Rexy, who’s crushing a Carnotaurus’ neck, and roaring while Isla Nublar’s volcano explodes? HARD (Fallen Kingdom)

Rick and Morty - S01E05. Whilst he and Rick are on a whimsical adventure, Morty strikes up a conversation with a stranger that escalates into attempted rape. Despite Rick being an unapologetically-drunk asshole, he makes a concerted attempt to cheer up his grandson, and later kills the Jellybean creature that assaulted Morty in the first place.

The White Lotus - S03E06. With Saxon and Lochlan Ratliff under the influence of drugs, an M/F/M threesome escalates into sexual entanglement between the brothers. They spend the rest of the season alienated/disgusted with one another, and Lochlan eventually expresses remorse for his actions.

Unfortunately, I've yet to encounter media that treats female-on-male sexual assault with the nuance or gravity it deserves. I believe this trope is important because it sheds light upon how men experience sexual assault, i.e. the interplay between masculinity and men being "shamed" for admitting weakness, or being called a pussy for "complaining" about unwanted sex.

Cecil Stedman (Invincible VS (and also just Invincible in general, if you want to count it)): A part of Cecil's moveset is the ability to teleport. However, according to the teaser trailer for Invincible Season 3, each individual teleport that Cecil uses is "more than the gross economic output of Lichtenstein". So it's safe to say that even just one combo is costing billions of dollars.

Goldlewis Dickinson (Guilty Gear Strive): Since he is the 'Secretary of Absolute Defense", it would obviously make sense that a good part of Goldlewis' arsenal costs a great deal of money. However, we do get an insight into this dilemma in a recent short animation, "The Melancholy of Erica Bartholemew". It's basically confirmed that the Thunderbirds (a tool used in Dickinson's moveset" costs 5 million dollars. And the fact that he goes through about 500 of them in a month, totals to 2.5 billion dollars spent per month, and that's not including the 1 million minigun shots he goes through and the literal on-demand satellite orbital strike in his moveset.

Heavy (Team Fortress 2): Kind of cheating with this one, because it's not exactly clear (to my knowledge) if RED and BLU are sanctioned by any government, but of course I had to include this one. Why? "It costs $400,000 to fire this thing... for 12 seconds."

Most common example I could think of was the old “I just want a BLACK COFFEE” shtick where the protagonist encounters a coffee shop that must obviously be completely run by snobs and morons while they themselves are a classic American hero who doesn’t know what a latte is.

(Louder milk) the main character Sam insults an (admittedly annoying) barista over her exaggerated valley girl accent.

(Bad thoughts) tom segura fantasizing about how coffee shops are actively trying to do their jobs incorrectly and he must be the benevolent voice of reason (rage)

(Roel models) apparently every coffee shop in the world would be dumbfounded over the concept of ordering a simple black coffee.

W'Kabi (Black Panther)

W'Kabi was introduced in Black Panther as T'Challa's friend and Okoye's husband, who becomes a minor antagonist due to his adherence to Killmonger's beliefs.

He was originally slated to appear in Wakanda Forever, but due to scheduling conflicts with actor Daniel Kaluuya because of his participation in the film NOPE!, his appearance was omitted. His absence is explained in the film with the scene where Ramonda strips Okoye of her rank, mentioning that W'Kabi is imprisoned in a cell for his betrayal of the royal family, where Okoye visits him whenever possible.

In fact, in some deleted scenes, it appears that W'Kabi's tribe was going to have some relevance, as in one of them, the tribe's leader suggests that Okoye participate in the combat ritual to become queen.

Quico (El Chavo)

Quico was part of the main trio of the series along with El Chavo and La Chilindrina, being the rich, boastful, and spoiled little boy of the neighborhood.

The character was never intended to be eliminated from the series, but internal conflicts with the actor Carlos Villagrán led to his departure from the show. To justify the character's exit, Quico's mother mentions that he went to live with his godmother.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby

In the first season, animated by P.A. Works, the animation was decent, but the audio was quite poor, and the races didn't seem very exciting to watch or cheer for. In the second season, animated by Studio Kai, despite using 3D models that sometimes looked strange, it added more interesting camera shots and slow motion. In the third season, it improved the 3D models and added more distant and dynamic cameras. And in the spin-off, Cinderella Gray, animated by Cygames itself, it did a great job of incorporating the concept of zones and changing the background of the races to add drama (I didn't include the movies because I thought it was unfair to compare a TV series to them).

Senki Zesshou Symphogear

The animation in Symphogear became impressively more fluid compared to the first season following the departure of Studio Encourage Films

Disclaimer: the first example shown is actually outdated as when I bought this game the developers listened to the feedback and made the final level accessible to all difficulties.

I'm not talking about locking cutscenes, achievements and other non-gameplay content. I'm talking about games not allowing the player to progress unless they choose a specific difficulty.

I'm not against games mocking the player for choosing low difficulty. That can be pretty funny sometimes, assuming the game is still playable.

I feel like the worst part about this trope is how deceptive it actually is. When I pick the difficulty for a game, I want to play a game at that difficulty. And the game wastes the players time by forcing them to play higher difficulty after finishing.

Platypus Reclayed - due to community feedback, this feature was removed, and the final level is now accessible to everyone. Considering that the game substantially increased in difficullty this was especially painful. I'm glad devs realised that though.

Cuphead - not only simple mode prevents your progressing and is not accessible on final bosses, it also straight up doesn't allow you to experience some phases. Which means it cannot even be used to practice the bossfights, unlike some other incarnations of this trope.

The Binding Of Isaac: Fiend Folio - calling "Super Easy mode" a "difficulty" is a little bit of a stretch as it plays more like a minigame than a variation of the base game. And it's so short you can't even complain about your time being wasted.

Undertale - reverse trope: the "hard difficulty" ends prematurely. This one works because it's: a) the mode is very quick, b) is NOT treatet like a hard mode for the base game c) the reversal of this trope is actually pretty unique IMHO.

- Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2: I could’ve easily add all scenes where you remember Sam Raimi directed this… but personally my favorite one is when Doc Ock’s tentacles [which by that point gained self-conscious] attack and KILL the surgeons.

- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Easily everytime the Indoraptor’s on screen, the horror stands out nicely. I know hybrids are very criticized, but personally I don’t care at all, if it makes me feel tense, then it’s doing something good.

Examples:

• Abijah Fowler (Blue-Eyed Samurai) - Fowler was a child during the Tudor conquest of Ireland, when the O'Neill clans were subjected to the English scorched-earth tactics. Fowler's parents starved, and he did whatever he could to keep his sister alive, even feeding her his own blood, but when she starved, he protected her body until he couldn't bear the hunger anymore and devoured her liver. He decided from then on to make his own fate and live on his own terms rather than by survival. Fowler would be one of the white men who went to Japan during the Edo Period, where one of them (possibly him) bedded with a Japanese woman and had Mizu, a mixed-race child. Fowler was kept locked up in a castle on every pilgrimage he made to Japan, where he would import foreign contraband into the island, making the Shogun one of the richest men in the world. In his frustration, he planned to kill the Shogun and take Japan for himself, colonizing it just like the British did for his island.
• Silvermane (Spider-Noir) - Silvermane is an Irish bootlegging mob boss who craves power and control and gathers this universe's version of the Sinister Six to take on the Spider. Silvermane mentions how he grew up poor in Ireland due to persecution by the British, which is why he tells Cathy, "Never be satisfied"
• Remmick (Sinners) - Remmick was a vampire who lived in pre-colonial Ireland before the British colonized it, genocided his family, and forced the Irish into protestantism. He wants to infect as many people with Vampirism as possible and use Sammie's music to bring his family back to life.

Raya and the Last Dragon — Trust blindly, even if it costs you everything

The core theme of the movie (which it makes very clear) is to have faith in the goodness of people, and to trust those you otherwise might not. Good, simple moral. But what they actually show is Raya being punished over and over for putting faith in people, even getting Sisu (the Last Dragon) killed because she “didn’t trust” the antagonist Namaari, You know, who currently had a crossbow pointed at her friend’s heart. In the end, everyone basically dies except Naamari, who only saves the day because she has a last minute crisis of conscience. So the takeaway is to blindly trust people who’ve repeatedly screwed you over, because not doing so might ruin your life. And if you (very understandably) view certain people with suspicion, whatever harm they might do to you is actually your fault.

Peppa Pig — Mr. Skinnylegs

This one isn’t serious but it’s fun so I included it. In episode 47, season 1 of Peppa Pig, Peppa and George find a little black spider hiding in their toys. The kids initially freak out, before being calmed by their dad, who explains that spiders are harmless friends. The episode ends with the kids holding the spider in their bare hands and having a tea party with it. In Britain, spiders by and large are harmless. In Australia, where the show is also popular, they very very much can kill you dead. So for a few years, the ABC had to take down the episode, lest Australia’s children start thinking huntsman spiders and redbacks are playmates. The episode has since been allowed to be shown.

1. Pennywise (IT) - Pennywise arrived on Earth millions of years ago after Maturin vomited the universe into existence. It settled in the area that would later become Derry.

2. Dr Frank N Furter (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) - Frank N Furter and everyone else in the Frankenstein Place are actually aliens from the Planet Transexual in the Galaxy of Transylvania.

A lot of people just equate “fanservice” to being bad and it always deserves hate, but you can have a sexy character that’s designed to turn heads still make them cool and well written.

Bayonetta (Bayonetta)

Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)

Yoruchi Shihoin (Bleach)

(Vikings - 2013/2020) - **the Mercian soldier appears in one episode where Prince Æthelwulf sends a party to rescue his fiancée and his son, who are being held prisoner in a small fort in Mercia.

During the fight, this henchman is ordered to execute the bride.

Æthelwulf is seen cutting through several soldiers, but for some reason, the director decided that this anonymous guy should get to brutally beat his ASS for like a solid 2 minutes straight —slamming him into the ground, headbutting him, and basically kicking the shit out of a competent fighter and major character.

And the best part? Æthelwulf isn’t even the one who kills him.

Bro deserves a raise.

(House of the Dragon - 2022) Jon Roxton not necessarily anonymous per say but a minor character in the show get to duel Deamon during the siege of Tumbleton

Daemon Targaryen who as always been represented as one of the finest knight in the realm and one of the most dangerous fighter in Westeros gets his ass absolutely obliterate by Jon roxton

Ood slavery (Doctor Who) - An episode during the 10th Doctor's era introduced the Ood, an alien species that loves being humanity's slaves. 2 seasons later, it's revealed that this was just a lie pushed by the company that tortured and enslaved the Ood in the first place, and that the Ood had a plan to regain their freedom.

Various characters' homo/transphobia (El Goonish Shive) - When EGS first introduced genderbending, several characters act like it's a weird and freaky thing because at the time, the author was embarrassed by the idea that people would realise he's into genderbending. Later stories recontextualise this as the characters not yet understanding the LGBTQ+, and that they grew to become more accepting and often regret their past actions.

Anti-Serpentine behaviour (Ninjago) - The Serpentine were originally written as a bunch of evil henchmen, but as the series progressed, their portrayal became more nuanced as neutral or even heroic Serpentine were introduced. This meant that the treatment of Serpentine in older seasons came across as more discriminatory than intended, and Dragons Rising reveals that Serpentine actually did suffer from discrimination.

Basically antagonists who realize the weight of their villainous acts after it's (presumably) too late and genuinely wish they could make amends. (Whether or not they actually get the chance to is optional)

Caine (The Amazing Digital Circus): Over the course of Episode 8, Caine goes from ignorant to outright malicious towards the people in the circus over their anger about being lied to, which he perceives as ungratefulness. In an attempt to temporarily shut Caine down to undo the madness, Kinger accidentally deletes Caine. Caine's VA stated that he recorded it in the mindset of "what have I done?" rather than "I'm done for" Lo and behold, in Episode 9 (the finale), it's revealed that Caine survived and does everything in his power to change for the better, including but not limited to, revealing what the member's real life versions are like today, allowing a more open approach to adventures and treating himself as an equal to them rather than a ruler

Magolor (Kirby's Return to Dream Land): In the final level, Magolor betrays Kirby and his team, revealing that he wanted the power of the Master Crown the previous boss was holding all along so he could rule the universe. Halfway through the final battle, the crown takes near-complete control of Magolor, and he realizes that he ruined an amazing friendship with Kirby & the others, only for this to happen. Future appearances imply that he does feel remorse for his actions and is actively working to atone for them. The game's remake follows through with an epilogue where you play as him stranded between dimensions trying to get home, which ends with him destroying the Master Crown after it fused with a giant tree

Spiderman 2(2004) - Peter narrowly dodged the robbery's car by somersault. Two kids witness and ask "How did you do that?" Peter says "Work out, plenty of rest. You know, eat your green vegetables." Kids believed it.

Spiderman Homecoming(2017) - Ned used a classroom computer to helping Spiderman. Teacher entered the classroom and asked, "what are you doing in here?" Ned said, "I'm looking at porn."

Haru Urara (Haru Urara Ganbaru: Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

Uma Musume Pretty Derby is known for having only mild fan service, but *Haru Urara Ganbaru* features fan service on par with an average manga—and to make matters worse, it involves Haru Urara, a character whom fans view as a beloved daughter figure

Clefairy and the manga in general (Pokémon Pocket Monsters)

The manga features crude humor involving urine, balls, and feces, as well as a lot of fan service that goes against the rules of the current franchise.

iMeet Fred (iCarly): The episode is about Freddie getting socially lynched for saying that he didn't like Fred's videos, which causes Lucas Cruikshank to quit making videos. Freddie gets kicked out of all of his extracurricular activities, bugged by his relatives, and harassed by the media for this, and he gets beaten half to death by Sam when he sticks to his guns when they talk to Lucas. To make matters worse, Lucas faked quitting to spike the views for both their shows. So, Freddie went through all that abuse for a publicity stunt. Some people defend this episode as a commentary on Stan and cancel culture, but the narrative treats Freddie like he 100% deserves the abuse.

Operation: H.U.G.S. (Codename: Kids Next Door): The episode is about Numbuh 4 getting sacrificed by a cult to a giant Rainbow Monkey. Why? Because he crashed out at Numbuh 3 and went on a rant about how much he despises Rainbow Monkeys. While he was pretty rude about it, Numbuh 3 should have known he wouldn't like getting tricked into going to a Rainbow Monkey themed carnival, so his frustration was a smidge justified, not helped by him not being allowed to leave unless he gave a cheesy hug. However, getting ritualistically sacrificed and getting harassed by a technicolor King Kong for having an opinion and setting boundaries is treated as Numbuh 4 learning a lesson about kindness.

Spider-man (marvel): this "friendly" neighborhood is a menace and must be stopped!

Superman (DC): why does everyone trust this alien so much? clearly, he's up to no good!

Sonic The Hedgehog: this accursed hedgehog is always foiling dr. eggman's plans! he can't keep getting away with this!

A sound effect, special effect, or design feature that is inaccurate but has become so ingrained in viewers minds that its absence would feel jarring, so creators continue to include it despite its inaccuracy.

The name of the trope comes from the sound of a horse galloping, which is created by rubbing two coconuts together. This can sound like a horse galloping, but it would only be accurate on cobblestones or other hard surfaces. On softer ground, the sound would be muffled, but in media, this sound effect can be used whenever a horse is galloping, regardless of the terrain.

1. Lion Roar (or any big cat) (Pictured: MGM logo) — The long, continuous, thunderous roar usually associated with lions is actually the roar of a tiger. For MGM, this sound began being used in the 1980s, and sound editor Mark Mangini used it because lions sounded to him more like a deep yawn or a series of grunts and lacked the kind of ferocious sound he wanted.

2. Ancient statues are always white marble (Pictured: Spartacus TV series) — Statues in ancient times were often painted in bright colors, but by the time they were uncovered, the colors had simply worn away.

3. People instantly freeze or pop like a balloon when exposed to the vacuum of space (Pictured: Mission to Mars, Total Recall) — As unfriendly as space is, a human wouldn't instantly freeze or pop like a balloon. If a person were exposed to the vacuum of space, bodily fluids would begin to boil, exposed skin would suffer severe sunburn, and they would lose consciousness after roughly 15–20 seconds. Death would occur after roughly 90 seconds.

Vox - Ruined both hell and his reputation over Alastor

Syndrome - Got killed by his own jet after kidnapping Bob's baby whose name i forgot

Bear - The movie wouldn't even happen if he was just a somewhat normal guy about nikki
