[Mind boggling stupid trope] Removing the thing that made something special

[u/Character_Growth_397]

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien - The gimmick of Ben 10 and what makes the show so popular is the fact that he's able to turn into a large variety of aliens. In one episode of Ben 10 Ultimate ALIEN we are introduced to a new version of Ben 10000, a Ben from the future who, no longer transforms into aliens, instead using his powers in human form...

Mortal Kombat(2021) - In the games Mileena is known for two things. Being a clone of Kitana and her tarkatan teeth. In the 2021 movie she looks absolutely nothing like Kitana and doesn't have tarkatan teeth

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief - The movie removes the main villain of the movie and the main villain of the franchise

But it lead to the introduction of Paul. Marvel editorial has stated that we canonically like him

[u/darthleonsfw → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

We do currently like where he is right now

[u/Broken_Moon_Studios → u/darthleonsfw]

I find it hilarious that even though Torment is a forgettable edgy bad guy, he'll still go down in comic book history as the hero who finally killed Paul.

What a legend.~

[u/EmpressClaraB → u/Broken_Moon_Studios]

Thats pretty cool design, I like how tanky his gauntlets are

[u/StageHandRed → u/EmpressClaraB]

Those are Shocker's gauntlets he... Acquired to help fight other symbiotes. F for Shocker.

The hero we needed.

[u/revbleech → u/darthleonsfw]

moving forward Dylan will wear a pendant made of Paul's manbun and thus gain his powers

[u/Canai97 → u/darthleonsfw]

Yeah, on the ground. Bleeding.

[u/kupozu → u/darthleonsfw]

It's kinda funny no one in the comic funeral seemed particularly upset 

[u/Impossible-Bison8055 → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

Wait where did that come up? Never heard Marvel tried to gaslight the audience in that way about Paul

[u/Bitter-Marsupial → u/Impossible-Bison8055]

They told us around his introduction in one of those text boxes

Photo pls

[u/Bitter-Marsupial → u/Gaming_with_batman]

my bad it was in a script to page

[u/TrillingMonsoon → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

I'll take this to also mean that Paul is canonically a chud

[u/Independent-World-60 → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

I thought y'all were joking wtf

[u/DullSpecial1013 → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

Is there a screenshot or a link to this? It's sounds stupid enough for Marvel editorial, but this comment is the first I've heard it.
