character is undisciplined but has more potential than the ones who chose to train diligently/ training suits them rather than conform to the training like everyone else.

it sounds like something you'd see only in dumb kids' cartoons but I've seen it in a lot of things. if it's part of someone's character that they normally talk like that or make a habit of memorizing dictionaries or something, that's one thing, but it never is

>>93240600
this is a trope because it happens often with actual people in the real world

How about, almost EVERY current Disney trope?

>Girl meets a "hot" boy (he's just twink trash)
>So entitled, she expects him to fell in love with her at the first moment.
>Boy doesn't feel attracted to the girl, because he doesn't think she's hot.
>Girl gets offended and later punishes the boy, telling him that there's more than the exterior (despite the fact that she only fall in love with the boy just for his exterior).

>Girl (16 or 17 y.o.) dreams with dating a muscled and chivalrous man.
>Such man finally appears.
>Girl like always manages to hook up with the man instantly because plot reasons.
>Man is such a 9/10 bf.
>Man doesn't want Girl to be near the danger.
>>"You are being a sexist piece of shit! We're done with this fucking relationship, because us girls are better than you"

>Boy loves a certain Girl.
>Such girl also loves the boy.
>Girl's friends happens to love the boy too, and she asks him out before the girl.
>Boy rejects her because there's someone else.
>Boy later asks the girl out.
>Girl has to rejects him because of her friend.

>Show has an episode dedicated about how women should wear whatever they want, because men should accept them as how they are.
>Later episodes a woman tells a boy (usually it's the brother) that he dresses so dorkly, and that he should change to suits because no girl will ever date him like that.

Pt. 2

>Girl dreams with dating a certain boy because he's so perfect for her.
>Boy finally accepts being her boyfriend.
>Girl starts changing every aspect he had.

>Girl celebrates with her boyfriend their one week/month // half year anniversary.
>She gets mad because the boyfriend didn't considered such day as something so important to celebrate it.

>Typical "boys vs. girls" episode.
>A female character mentions how boys are the ones who always wins in the media, and how girls deserve to finally get a victory.

>Boy tries so hard to get hooked with the girl he always have been in love with.
>Girl usually ignores him.
>Despite all the failures, boy doesn't give up and stays persistent about it.
>Boy usually does great things to get the girl.
>Girl ends up telling him that he's great, but not enough for her to want to be her girlfriend.
>Morality is that girls aren't forced to accept a relationship from a guy that's nice to them, but which they don't feel so attracted with. (That's right, the morality was set for the girls the whole time)

Just, how hard it's for Disney to not have a show centered on relationships?
>>
I'm getting sick of hallucinations in general. They're just used so the director can make shit appear random and scary without it having to make sense, and can get lazy on things like scene transitions. Oh he sudden;y woke up in his bed even though he was at his office,w as it all a dream?

And here is the one that angers me the most.

>Father usually celebrates the daughter(s) merits, and keeps encouraging them on everything they want.
>Father neglects the son(s) (or even despise them or say how disappointed he's about them) because they're autistic / not as successful as their sister(s).
>>Mother does no shit about it and sometimes even support the father.

The reason why this is the one I hate the most, is because how writers usually add different kind of salt to it:

>Sister mocks the brother about all his defects in front of the parents.
>They do no shit and sometimes they even give her the right
>Brother remains silent.
>>Alternative
>Brother makes a comeback.
>Parents jump on and nags the brother about not being mean with his sister.

>Little sister which happens to be the favorite one.
>Sister comes and manipulates his brother.
>Brother doesn't want to do what she wants him to do.
>Sister tells him that she will tell their parents a lie about him if he doesn't cooperate.

>Brother manages to be successful at something.
>Parents out of nowhere becomes proud of him.
>They stop once recon time comes and takes out his talent.

>School dance is coming.
>Parents encourage the daughter that she will get any man she wants.
>Brother tells them that he's also going to get a date too.
>"Sure"

>Parents give their daughter all the money she wants.
>They tell the brother that if he needs money so bad, he should get a job.
>Brother reacts, and asks them how come his sister doesn't have to work too (she's older or near the same age).
>They tell him that she isn't a disappointment.
>>
>>93240599
Or better yet,

>You missed.
>I wasn't aiming for you.
>crazy contraption shit
>takes ridiculously long
>person has plenty of time to avoid it
>and so they do

She literally replaces Prince Phillip as the one whose "True Love Kiss" wakes Sleeping Beauty.

And I can't remember her being ever even close to Maleficent's pure joy in taking vengeance.
In fact, as I remember it wasn't even about not being invited, but because Maleficent was basically the Lorax and the humans were mean to her trees or something.

Kuwabara is the strongest human of all time. Yusuke doesn't count because after his second revival he's part demon and Kuwabara and the squad surpassed where Yusuke was before dying after their butthurt power up.

Likewise Joey is a beast at Duel Monsters he's easily the number 3 or 4 best duelist in the entire series especially impressive since he has no hax like literally EVERY OTHER Duelist in his tier. [Yes Kaiba, infinite money is a hax ability]

Sounds like the mother has some kind of mental disorder like NPD which has her project onto her children, making one the 'golden child' and the other the 'scapegoat'. This is unfortunately common enough to have established naming conventions and studies done on it and shit.

The good/bad news is that the golden child is as fucked as the scapegoat in these relationships and usually grows up with a host of complexes of their own, so the sister isn't walking out of it scott free.

In the first movie he didn't have more potential then anyone, his fatness just happened to be the perfect counter to specifically Tai Lung's hard style. Thus the message 'be yourself', he didn't need to change to be like the five or better then the five or anything, because he already fit a niche as-is. The 3rd movie and TV show really fucked it up but originally it wasn't really about 'the chosen one'.

Skyrim is designed to be a mary sue simulator.

>Hey, welcome to the college of magic! Can you do magic to get in? (Hey, tell you what, that shitty fireball spell you got at character creation will do the job!)
>Okay, let's do one class and go on an excavation and- what's that, the super secret order of secret mystic guys says you're the chosen one! Well, damn, I guess we can forget about talking about magic ever again!
>Hey, could you grab a staff for us? It's in a draugr filled dungeon, just like the 500 other draugr filled dungeons you've already torn through, so it shouldn't be any trouble at all!
>Damn, the arch mage died. Well, we've got a lot of respected professors with 50+ years seniority on you, but, hey, you did such a good job with getting that staff that you should be arch mage instead!

And that's how you become the greatest wizard in Skyrim by firing one apprentice-level fireball. Everything is designed like that, every encounter in the game is carefully sculpted to pat you on the ass and suck your dick and make you a mary sue.

kuwabara ends the series as the strongest human. the rest of the team members are demons. while he had more wacky moments than the others he was far from the usual joke character.

Joey is the 3rd best duelist in the world which isn't bad considering the only two above him are a guy with obscene amounts of money that can get him almost any card he wants and the other has a fate changing puzzle.

Changing and aging often results in late-season decay like Doug and MLP, as the writers write themselves into a corner. I get what you're saying, but it's easy to see why it's avoided.

>>93252941

Yeah, I guess. The popsicle scene felt just as common as the DMV scene, to me. More like easy commercial bait than any indication of a running gag. The only real problem was that they used the same scenes repeatedly in different commercials.

>>93253105
What I'm saying is that they wrote themselves into a corner with the main characters, and had to introduce new things and have them grow laterally, rather than continue forward on a path that's ended. It's not an easy thing to work around, so it's understandable that many writers would avoid it.

Then neither are Black Manta nor Reverse Flash evil "for funsies" because they have the equivalent purpose of "Being pissed off at X".
Black Manta and Reverse Flash aren't called "Evil for Funsies" because they have absolutely 0 reason to do the shit they do, but because they take a petty offense and turn it into an eternal quest for vengence, because they revel in the joy of inflicting misery on the person they choose for no reason truly worthy of the ends they go through.
Maleficent went out of her way to conduct a 2 decade long plan of vengeance, then added onto it the torment of Prince Philip, boasting that she'll allow him to be the hero, but only after a few more decades of torture, then she went and turned into a fucking dragon just to fuck everyone over even more.

If that's not for "funsies", then no villain that isn't complete and utter garbage has ever been evil for "funsies".

Recall a Batman series that defies that trope, where Batman starts killing off every villain on earth in secret. And the world actually becomes a better and safer place. Heroes even retire since they aren't needed anymore and lives regular lives.

The shot they use is from an episode where he tries to teach mutant gym class with no powers, he gets blasted to the floor, puts his head in his hand and says "hoo boy".

like imagine an x-men comic where all of a sudden wolverine actually sits down and teaches philosophy for this one certain student while the rest of the class get the danger room treatment. like even the guatemalan crab boy gets the training from hell while this special guy despite being physical and mentally fit only gets the sit and talk treatment.

Not really desu. I mean I tried it just now and got a few actual words back. "Oog" (pronounced oh-g) does actually mean "establish," more specifically "to make known." To my knowledge Somali was one of the newer languages added to Google Translate and seeing how that pic is from 2014 a lot of the translations are faulty. For example "hoop" is not a Somali word, we don't use the "P" sound or letter

Yeah but those villains always go about their business in the most suspicious way possible and when people figure out they're up to something, they never try to explain themselves.

Atleast most of the time when I witness it, they say this because they're already being attacked and given shit from the heroes and completely not allowed to even explain themselves. It usually seems to be the good guys who act completely unreasonable and don't stop for even a second to question their motives before they resort to slinging fists.

Granted, sometimes they have a reasonable doubt because the villain is connected to something shady or past villains, but when it's a newly introduced stranger it just comes off as the heroes being huge blindsided dopes.

I don't really mind the first two at all. Aging characters usually aren't necessary at all unless it's one of a few zombie series where it would probably ruin the show.. An iconic look can be great and at the very least it's a cost-cutting measure that doesn't really harm a show.

The status quo, though, fuck that. I get that not every show needs or benefits from dynamic characters, not everything has to be some serial drama. But if your show needs to have a static cast with static personalities, don't fucking put them in situations where they should logically change somehow. If in an episode a character learns they're a father and has to drop some of the bullshit they do to be responsible for another human being, that might make the audience feel more sympathetic for that character... up until you try to undo everything by coming up with some stupid reason to return to the status quo. The more bullshit the excuse, the less the audience gives a fuck about your cast.

The worst sin is when a show tries to frame that return to the status quo as some sort of life lesson. "Oh, no, I can't be a dad for you because I'm just too zany. I'll always love you, kid." No, that's not a fucking life lesson, that's rationalizing being a deadbeat dad and all your writers are apparently fucking sociopaths.

So many shows have inherently unsustainable premises and dig themselves into deeper and deeper holes to justify the bullshit.

Not sure if this is really a trope, but...
>lets ignore character progress and development when starting a new season

Thinking of a series where in the first season, the main guy and main girl start off on the wrong foot. But over time, the main guy and main girl gets along better and better, until the season final, they realize and admit to eachother they are in love.
Over diffrent episode other girls were also constantly flirting with main guy but as he got closer to main girl, he was less and less okay with it.

Then suddenly...
>SHOW RENEWED FOR ANOTHER SEASON!
>Lets reverts characters back to how they were mid-season 1, but with a few entirely new traits.
Main guy and main girl don't really get along anymore for no reason, also main guy now has no problem flirting with every girl from before, even acting strangly pervy around them suddenly.
Second season ends with main guy and main girl again admitting they love eachother
>SHOW RENEWED FOR ANOTHER SEASON!
>Reverts characters back to how they were mid-season 2, but this time enhance the new traits So we can continue the silly slapstick gags/jokes from the last season.

I'm feeling autistic today so here's a real argument.

Your problem is that by boiling it down to "tried hard -> screwed over" you're pushing a narrative that leaves you as the sole human fighting against a vague notion of fate or happenstance. In many contexts, this is close enough to reality as to permit sympathy, but by trying to extend this narrative to romantic relationships you are denying agency and importance to a specific individual whose situation and feelings are, to any outside observer, of equal value to yours. What's more, you're playing a negative-sum game, as your win condition (shackling yourself to a woman who doesn't want you) hurts the other person more than your loss condition (having to meet someone else) hurts you. In each of my posts I have attempted to establish the existence and importance of other people's feelings, and you have conveniently failed to pick up on or at least engage with this.

Lemme put this in a way that's maybe easier to swallow than what the other guy's saying.

Relationships often take work. You do have to improve yourself to make yourself attractive to others, physically, emotionally, financially. And if you're willing to do those things, great! You don't expect people to like you "for you" as if that's a pass to be a cock.

But if your feelings aren't reciprocated, that's not her fault. It's OK to think it's a sucky situation and be upset, but it's not OK to blame whoever it is you were crushing on.

I'm going to assume you're a straight dude. Unbeknownst to you, your best male friend has actually been in love with you for a while. You probably care about him a lot and you don't want to hurt him, but you're not going to take a dick up the ass just because he's been so nice to you, right? That's why it'd be a problem if your best friend then started acting as though you did something wrong by rejecting him. Everything he did was fine up until he stopped respecting your decision to not slob on his knob and decided to make a bunch of angry posts about how you're such a tease.

People like your friend are who's being made fun of as fedoras and nice guys, not because they were nice, but because they were only nice in the belief that it would eventually entitle them to plundering your boipussy, as though your ass is his right so long he manages to convince you he's a good friend first.

>Unbeknownst to you, your best male friend has actually been in love with you for a while.
Haha jokes on you I don't have friends.

But to take the hypothetical seriously, that you have to compare a women being attracted to a person to sexual deviancy is disturbing. You can't deny women is fucked up if you have to compare a women not being attracted to a decent man to homosexuality.
Again, women are dumb so don't make that comparison. It's insulting to homos who find out their crush is hetero.

A better comparison would be that I'm gay and my best friend that I thought was straight was actually gay and had a crush on me. In which case I would at least give him a chance instead of the "let's just be friends" bullshit women come up with. If I thought he was disgusting enough to not potentially date, I wouldn't be his friend in the first place.

And I'm saying this as someone who briefly acquainted with a gay guy who was after my ass before. If I was gay I would have given him a chance despite not being physically attracted to him.

Excuse me while I post infographics that justify my own beliefs with data, while you offer nothing to me but platitudes and anecdotes.

>>93265577

Yes, I do think personal experience regarding women is better than just listening to whatever other people tell me.

>"let's just be friends" bullshit
Ever stop to think that some women having no interest in dating you & would rather stay friends is not a reason to hate women, anon?
>>
>>93265606
>Yes, I do think personal experience regarding women is better than just listening to whatever other people tell me.
So you're saying personal experience, which isn't statistically reliable, only a handful of samples and you only know the outcome after the fact is better than statistics and anecdotes from several dozens of people?
That literally makes no sense, "works on my machine" bullshit.
As someone who has no experience, even if I do listen to you, that's only +1 on the "women are okay" side. That's doesn't nearly make up for the massive gap between you and the "women are shit" side. And that's with a massive fucking bias of people who won't talk shit about women because they want to get their dick wet.
>>93265636
You can talk shit, but I'm just going to point out your shittalk is weak if it's that predictable.
>>93265644
>Ever stop to think that some women having no interest in dating you & would rather stay friends is not a reason to hate women, anon?
You're right, except women have actively shit taste on top of having no interest in me. If it was simply "I'm not attracted to you, there are better people I'd rather spend my time on" it would be acceptable. But when literal murderers, rapist, abusers, and addicts are successful with women on top of that? The problem clearly isn't only myself.

I don't know, I've seen & heard countless other examples of women being good people. I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna let what some retards tell me about women ruin the good relationships I've had with them, because "muh statistics." Also, have you ever thought that maybe there's just as many awful women as there is good women out there, like there's just as many awful guys out there as there is good guys?

>shit taste on top of having no interest in me.
Judging from your posts, I think women having no interest in you is a sign of good taste, desu.
>>
>>93265716
>I think women having no interest in you is a sign of good taste, desu.
I was waiting for this.
I want you to realize that you're saying someone with nasty private opinions is objectively worse than literal murders, abusers, rapists and all other sorts of social undesirables.
Please contemplate your philosophy that caused you to arrive at that conclusion.
>>
>>93265670
First of all, look up selection bias. Secondly, if you're so convinced that women prefer criminals and serial abusers, and you don't seem to care about much more than getting your dick wet, why not try that and see how it works out for you? If you're such a fan of hard data and evidence, what could be better than a good old-fashioned experimentally testable hypothesis instead of just accepting the convenient excuses of a few dozen washed-up neckbeards?
>>
>>93265778
>Secondly, if you're so convinced that women prefer criminals and serial abusers, and you don't seem to care about much more than getting your dick wet, why not try that and see how it works out for you?
Because I'm NOT and that's my POINT. I'm not that kind of person, and far less successful with women who are. Really makes you wonder when badthink makes you a worse person ( at least as far as romantic prospects are concerned ) than going on a shooting spree in the eyes of society.
>First of all, look up selection bias.
I could say something similar to those who defend women. There's an obvious conflict of interest there, of course you're going to defend women.
Funny how the only people who defend women are successful with them.
But the people who detest women are both people who are unsuccessful AND those who are successful.
>>
>>93265773
Someone who lashes out at all women & cry about how evil they are because they're a bitter virgin has a less likely chance of getting laid than everyone else? Shocker. Anyways, this isn't the thread for this, so take your rage to a proper board, like /r9k/.
>>
>>93265834
>Funny how the only people who defend women are successful with them.
Wow, yeah, I completely forgot that every single man who's ever been dumped by a pretty girl immediately joined your dinky little MGTOW forum. Can't believe I missed that little detail.
>>
>>93265884
I don't lash out at women publicly, obviously.
Again, realize what you believe. Someone with nasty opinions is worse than the actually bad people. This is seriously what women believe, and you're defending that belief.
>>93265911
I haven't seen someone with no romantic success ever defend women, not even anonymously.
Also you forgot the normalfag golden rule: If you can get a girlfriend once, you obviously have something that means you can get a girlfriend again.
So of course they aren't going to completely lose their shit when they lose that girlfriend. They might not consciously realize it though.
>>

>>93265940
Anon this may be shocking, but I was a virgin once, just like you. I've never had a problem with women & I treated them politely, and eventually, that lead to me getting laid. Maybe you could do the same too.
>>
>>93264674

Imagine if I started being nice to you and you had to date me. What? Dont like me? Dont like dudes?
Tough. I did a nice thing so you fucking owe me.
>>
>>93266012
But I don't want a girlfriend ( for the sake of the argument I'll pretend I do because no one will believe that statement), I want to know why there's guys that do want a girlfriend whose only problem is being a neckbeard are worse off than said undesirables.
The only conclusion I can come to is that women are shit.
>>93266023
Like I said earlier, if I was gay I would give you a chance if you were a friend. I literally cannot comprehend friend zone. But women friend zone guys all the time, despite it not making sense. If you didn't like the guy why are you his friend?

There it is.

Youre acting like youre some amazing catch any woman would be lucky to have.
Newsflash, if your spending your time conplaining about how stupid women are and how they are bitches for not dating you on 4chan... maybe you should look in the mirror, all Im saying

>>93266124
>just b urself
And one of those things is something you can't even control
>>93266139
>Youre acting like youre some amazing catch any woman would be lucky to have.
Nope
More like >I see news that killers like Breivik are getting love letters in prison. Meanwhile I'm entirely unsucessful with women. What the fuck is wrong with women?
Not so much "I'm an amazing catch" as "I'm at least a better person than -that-"
And of course, a normalfag such as yourself never even contemplates that because you never had to. Even when I point it out to you and even say THAT is what I have a problem with and not the lack of success itself, it completely flies over your head and all you can think of is "gross neckbeard thinks he's entitled to pussy"
>>
>>93266163
>just b urself
I didn't say be yourself, because that's obviously why you're never getting laid.
>>
>>93266163
Breivik is an international name and you're just another Tom Dick or Larry, you fucking mathmagician. Of course a few fish will bite if you cast a net that wide.
>>
>>93266193
You don't know anything about me other than what you can glean from my ranting, so you can't give good advice on what to do to get women.
But I don't even want that, please justify women's fucked up taste where a rapist is more appealing than a neckbeard. Or not even a neckbeard, just a typical /v/irgin who isn't too fat, not too skinny, not muscular, not tall, somewhat intelligent, etc etc.
>>93266204
>Women are attracted to fame
I'm aware, I hate them for that
>>
>>93266163
You keep bringing up the idea of killers, criminals, and the like getting women but have you ever considered that you might be unfairly generalizing to half the world's population? It makes sense that serial killers would get love letters, not because women are inherently shit, but because their existence and location are, uniquely, publicly broadcasted to every one of the rare crazy bitches out there. There are women who are dumb enough to do that, or to get back with their abusive exes, or do all kinds of other dumb bullshit, but thanks to selection effects I never have to interact with them and I can instead spend my time with the nice, normal girls you don't seem to believe exist.
>>

A-anon...

>>93266227
Because anon, I understand that there's such a thing called "crazy people." You see these types all the time amongst men & women but if you're smart, you don't generalize an entire group of people because of those crazy ones.

>somewhat intelligent
I highly doubt that judging from the posts you've made itt.

Anon, haven't you heard? He has no experience being in a relationship with women, but some random jerkoffs said all women are evil, so he believes it.

I'm saying that those -are- normal women. It's just that normal women have the option of selecting overall better men.
But make them choose between a rapist and a neckbeard and it's in the rapists favor. I see that fact as disgusting.

And it's because of those random jackoffs, you're never gonna even bother trying with women & instead cry about how they're evil on 4chan? You're hilarious.

No, you're dumb because you're acting like a fucking idiot & posting infographs from okcupid as "proof" that women are shit.
>>
>>93266364
How many people in prison are virgins ( rape notwithstanding)
Now how many neckbeards on /v/,/r9k/,/pol/,/a/ ( I think you get my point ) are virgins?
What could possibly be the cause of this?
>>93266397
>And it's because of those random jackoffs
Have enough random jackoffs and it's not just random jackoffs anymore it's a statistic.
>No, you're dumb because you're acting like a fucking idiot & posting infographs from okcupid as "proof" that women are shit.
As opposed to your cutting wit and worthless platitudes? Sorry for thinking at least -some- kind of data ( data that also corroborates what those random jackoffs are saying) is better then generic NAWALT that I've already heard before.

Anon, you've shown in this thread numerous reasons why no woman in your area would date you.

Some anons were actually nice enough to give you solid advice. Take advantage of that, for your own sake. No man or woman is gonna stoop to your level, regardless of flaws they themselves may have
