Tropes You Absolutely Love

>combatant tries every single dirty trick and underhanded tactic
>opponent shrugs it off and beats his opponent honorably
sometimes you are just so out of your depth, even your silly tactics do nothing

>The show's most frequent receiver of slapstick/misfortune is an attractive/cute female character with a likable personality.

>Character is finally confronted with a bad thing they did many episodes ago.

>villain finally wins
>realizes winning sucks and wants to go back to the way things were
>brings the hero back into the fight to beat an even bigger bad

>>88923953
One of the things I always loved about Azumanga Daioh is that the stereotypical "cute" character Chiyo-chan was the brunt of a lot of the physical comedy. She would get volleyballs to the head, pushed over in penguin costumes, and suffer all sorts of stuff. Lesser shows would just have her be cute and moe and...that's it.

The Wally episode in S1 of Young Justice did it pretty well. Made it seem like it was all about Wally learning that the little guy needs a hero too and it would be nothing but a gag episode and then lel no

>The Speech. At some point the hero, or the villain, gives a speech. Reference Superman's speech at the end of "What's wrong with Truth, Justice, and the American Way?". Or Doom's monologues. Or the page someone posted in the "What villain do you agree with?" thread with Black Adam addressing his people. Something like that: an inspirational explanation of why they do what they do, struggle through what the script throws at them, and why it's _right._

>>88923899
>Villain, while a bastard, is respectable in his/her own way. Follows strict code and if they waver they kill themselves or admit defeat or will serve willingly when called upon to seek forgiveness for misdeeds.

>Other villain is dirtbag. No real purpose beyond existing, never questions it. End of the series and they question themselves and become a better person or they lose power/ fame and become a nobody.

>Anti-hero realizing that he's making his anger into Gods anger/ justice/ what is right. Wants to be God's vengeance, but realize that in doing so they are just another psycho. Realizing that they where using this idea to justify everything they have done. Walks away a uncertain what to do, but more spiritually whole.

On the side note
>Transformers Prime
>In the Japanese dub of Prime, Airachnid's personality is completely different from her original interpretation. In the dub, she is a bubbly, giggling, high-strung chatterbox that is obsessed with collecting the heads of "handsome boys" as trophies rather than endangered creatures. Played up as something of a female Pepe Le Pew, she constantly swoons over Jack, calling him her "hunk," her "darling," her "cutie Jack-chan" and various other lovey-dovey remarks as she amorously pursues him (even going so far as to sing love songs to him, mid-chase). When she finally catches Jack near the end of "Mystery Insect Transformation! Forest of the Spider Woman!", she even proposes marriage to him.

>>88925120

The monarch in venture bros got his day in the sun once or twice.

Shredder's "i never bluff" during red sky also comes to mind.

Star vs. seems to be headed that direction, but other than that, I personally can't think of any.

I like how when the Digimon digivolved in the first two series they originally kept the same VA and nearly the same voice while of course they were changed in English. Then Tamers came out and the deals were switched.

>>88925194
>Did Ice King ever kick any ass?

The only memorable thing about Ice King was in "Betty" when he loses his powers and Death is looking for him, but at the last minute he gets them back and Death says to him, in a truly apologetic tone "You lose, Simon. Sorry, man."

It's not really kicking ass, but it's powerful stuff.

>>88927501
I know better than to discuss anime around here, but being made of rubber definitely doesn't make him immune to Enel's lightning-fast movement and reflexes. He fucking threw that fight and I'm never getting over it.

>>88926012
Just high school drama. There was this guy in my anime club I liked, he was down to earth and well-spoken, not super hot but he was clean cut and, y'know, decent looking by nerd standards. He didn't date and was kind of shy around girls but he was open with me which made me think maybe there were possibilities there.

We hung out for months and gradually got really close. I could cuddle him while we were watching Inuyasha or whatever and it wasn't weird. It basically got as real as it can be without actually officially dating or being 'together'. Then he started going out with this 9/10 volleyball chick he met through one of his friends and that was it. We stopped spending time together and slowly he stopped coming to club meetings altogether because she was more important. I still don't know what the fuck her problem was. She could have had anybody but she took him.

Bonus points if the partnership was believable/they altered the opening to include him in the cast.

You are wrong on all accounts, but your diminutive, withered and shitstained brain will never let up your moronic arguments.

It was pretty funny when Emma Frost and Bobby Drake switched bodies and Emma turned out to be far more imaginative at using Bobby's powers than he ever was.

Yeah but was thinking of KND

>The supervillain legitimately believes in his cause with all his heart and goes through identical tribulation, effort, and fierce persistence as the hero. Becoming devastated if he loses or realizes he was wrong.

>The supervillain's second in command who picks up for all of his boss's slack, is legitimately dangerous and competent, but stays subservient out of friendship or plain loyalty.

>The laid back, easy going and all around unassuming secondary character turns out to have been an army destroying, deadly, bloodthirsty badass but left it all behind because he grew sick of it.

>A character who, no matter what, is having the time of his life in battle and is utterly carefree no matter the struggle. He lives for this kind of stuff.

None of these are used anywhere near enough.
