Tropes that you love

>>87506837
Arguably one of the most memorable early KND episodes.

>>87506837
>Character hiding the fact they did something bad
> Start freaking out
> bad thing was completely unrelated to them in any way.

>prophecy about some chosen one that will save the world
>turns out it's bullshit and someone not mentioned at all in the prophecy saves the world because they weren't going to wait around for some prophecy to play out

>>87506837
The best rendition of this I've seen is still It's Always Sunny

>>87506837
>OP clearly says "Tropes that you love"
>that one anon that comes in the thread to make a paragraph long rant about a trope he hates with all his being
That's my favorite trope

Always gets me.
The Simpsons still has the best one-off Rashomon joke

>>87507103
For me it's "Bad Blood" from The X-Files

>>87508419
wow jojo straight up turns into a woman at some point

is it even worth getting into this series or is it justs sjw bullshit?

>>87506837
Boy, wait until you actually watch Rashomon.

>>87507021
>Chosen One Prophecy
>The Prophecy is some kind of scheme to create space in orphanages/control population in small villages
>Bonus Points: Despite the prophecy being bullshit, the Chosen One steps up to the fucking plate
The fact that Fell's Five will never continue hurts me.

>>87508618
Of course it is anon.

>>87508634
Bottle episodes and flashback episodes are two different things.

>>87508623
>Also no, it's as sexist as Japan is
> Part 6 has a female main character
> her introduction is her getting caught masturbating by a guard

I felt like Stone Ocean was a slow start compared to some other parts, but I really loved it by the end

it was hard watching Pucci wreck the whole cast.

I man, if Bugs Bunny can do it, why not Jojo?

>>87508770
Is it weird that I don't see JoJo as being homoerotic?
Like, I don't even bat an eyelash when you have Johnny and Gyro scissoring on the cover. For some reason, it just seems like normal Jojo shit to me.
I mean, Part 6 is pretty gay. But that's mostly Narancia's fault.

>>87508835
>Part 6 is pretty gay. But that's mostly Narancia's fault
Well Narancia was a woman the first two times he showed up. She just got turned into a man because someone above Araki wouldn't let him go through with his plan of a lesbian romance for the main character

>>87506837
Fucking love Cosmic Marvel for doing this

>A group of minor or joke characters who don't play that big part in the overall universe are involved in a crisis and devolp into utter badass.
>This devolpment stays and those characters eventually evolve into a major players in their corner of the universe.
>There is minimal shilling of these characters and they earn respect for actually doing things.

Also one thing I loved that was done by Cosmic Marvel
>A villain is always hyped as a major threat, but is always defeated.
>Under new writer, they remind exactly why they are seen as a threat.

The scene with FF's ghost or whatever telling Jolyne how happy she was to have friends and not have her memory stolen was brutal

One of the saddest deaths in the whole series, and it was just a swam of sentient plankton controlling a dead girl's body

>>87509146
yeah, I mean, Giorno is literally Dio's and Jonathan's son. This level of gayness puts Naruto and Sasuke to shame.

This is still weird to me because not only did Jolyne have confirmed attraction towards men incredibly early on, at no point did she ever actually show romantic interest in Anasui, the Annakiss situation notwithstanding

>>87509531
Part 6 JoJo is a girl. Her planned "love interest" was a girl. Said love interest outright appeared as a girl in her introductory chapter. She appeared later as a man with no explanation and spent the rest of the comic as a dude.

>>87506837
Batman: Gotham Knight, Episode 1.
Kids hanging around in a skatepark recounting stories of the Batman, and the way he appears changes each time (In one he is quite literally a bat-man fusion, in another he has a jetpack, in another he is a shadow with otherworldly powers.) but the real Batman shows up shortly afterward when a fight goes sideways into the skatepark, with the kid who says "Yeah sure he did" being the only one who sees Batman (Played by Kevin Conroy) through smoke.

Same thing happened to Kakyoin, he was meant to be a girl but execs saw this as a risky move as main girl characters in Shonen is very to execute, and Araki at the time wasn't as huge as he is now.

>The side character has an option to flee but won't because this means their friends/civilians/whatever would get killed

Bonus points if the character gets beaten (or even killed) but the villain was stopped in the process - allowing people to get to safety or whatnot. Double bonus points if the side character actually wins in a way that doesn't look like writer's fiat.

When characters have to disarm or empty their pockets and one just keeps pulling out new weapons from improbable places. Bonus points if someone goes "the rest too" and they pull out one final tiny knife/gun.

Whatever it's called when they had dig Aizen out of storage to fight off the eyeball monsters.

>it's a pro wrestling episode
>it's 100% real

I think the only one that did it well was an episode of the 2003 Ninja Turtle. Raph thought it was like the pro wrestling of his time, but it turned out things had changed in about a hundred years.

>Characters play a game together like poker, rock paper scissors or a board game
>Starts off casual
>Everyone slowly starts to treat it more and more seriously
>Soon all hell breaks loose and it turns into an all-out heated battle with intense music, shouting, battle auras and everybody cheating and trying their best not to get caught
Bonus points if the characters have superpowers and use them to help them cheat.

I think that would be The Godzilla Threshold, which is the point where the current situation is so terrible that any means of combating it are preferable to letting it continue.

>main character switch

Like seriously I love it when a secondary character is a primary character for an episode and viceversa. And I'm not talking about an origin or backstory episode. Just a regular one.

I'd love a Loud House episode where you follow one of the girls and Lincoln just pops up occasionally as a secondary character. Same for Star vs the forces of evil. Showing an episode focused on Janna or whatever while Marco/Star only pop up as a cameo would be great.

the Halloween episode (where dee dresses up like a big bird)

>>87508835
No, you're not alone. You reach a point in reading where you think Dio's lipstick looks cool.

The poses and the fashion are more "bizarre" than homoerotic if anything. We've got plenty of western characters who wear only underwear and boots, so the Pillar Men didn't really faze me.

>>87526068
I mean, Bruno's wearing a keyhole sweater and Gio has a heart-shaped boob window and it just doesn't phase me.

>>87526068
>>87526526
I think that kind of shit is still objectively homoerotic. It's the fact that it is presented in such a way that we come to accept it as part of the character's wardrobe rather than something meant to be conveyed as sexual. Which is a sign that the characters are in such a way that their appearances are made cool because of the way they are written, rather than the other way around.

I think one of the coolest things about JoJo is the confidence Araki draws his characters with. I'm not gonna deny it's gay as fuck, but there's such a strong dynamic presence that it makes the characters feel more unabashedly hyper-masculine than completely homoerotic. Like with almost any other artist, this pose wouldn't work, but Araki makes it seem like Giorno is on his way to fuck your bitch.

And though he's forgotten how to draw his old characters, I think Araki's art in the context of part 7 and part 8 is incredible.

>>87527324
I completely agree. Honestly Araki could draw Giorno buttfucking Mistah, and I'd be like: "Damn, he looks cool." Gay as fuck, but still cool.
