1. Yin and Yang- lilo and stitch

2. Tui and la - avatar the last airbender

I’m not sure if it’s official, but I saw this image of Rei Ayanami fishing and it inspired this post (Neo Genesis Evangelion)

Yume Minami generally uses the spaceship portion of Dynazenon as a regular means of transport to get to school or to meet up with the group.(SSSS Dynazenon)

This soldier used the mech to drink water (Baki séries)

1. Diana (Pragmata)- dancing, learning about the world and constantly asking question about the earth

2. Lilo (Lilo and Stitch)

So sum up of these:

Reverse Flash. Guy from the future named Eobard Thawne. Originally just a theif who took inspiration from the Flash, he became the universe's biggest Flash Fanboy. He went back in time to meet his hero, only for him to figure out either that the Flash didn't view him as his best friend or that he was destined to die at The Flash's hands (take your pick). He since dedicated his life to destroying him. But he's still the world's biggest Flash fanboy.

Lex. Nothing more to say. Hates Superman so much but any suggestion that Superman isn't the best, most amazing dude ever that he is squaring off against is an insult to him that he will not abide by.

Joker. Once again, self explanatory. Joker loves Batman and thinks hes great and wants to play their game foerver and will become deeply hurt if anyone suggests Batman isn't fucking awesome.

Roadrunner: Roadrunners name being the same as the actual animal heavily contributes to this one

Knuckles the echidna: Knuckles even calls himself a porcupine in his Sonic Adventure theme song

Tasmanian Devil: same at Roadrunner (kind of strange that looney tunes has two of these)

Wolverine: even Hugh Jackman didn’t know what a wolverine was when he was casted to play the character

Perry the platypus: in the extended version of his theme song it goes on to mention simple aspects of his design like his bill and tail as if they would be uncommon in a platypus

Edit: for got to label this as a (Meta Trope)

King of the Hill: Bobby, now a young adult and successful owner of a restaurant, feels his father's frustrations with his friends in dealing with his own irresponsible childhood friend and roommate Joseph who can't even be relied on to pay their electric bill.

The Forgotten Island: Much of the conflict stems from the frustrations between friends Raissa, who intends to leave The Philippines to attend Caltek in the USA, and Jo, who has no plans for the future and struggles to hold onto a part-time job.

Coraline(Coraline):”It’s over and done with, for us.” Coraline finds the Ghost Children’s eyes and freed their souls from a child predator/spider lady and they’re telling her she’s still skulking around in the house?
Thanks for nothing.
Are we serious? And now she has to make sure she doesn’t come back and she has to do it alone? And she can still reach her parents? I would’ve been terrified. Coraline would need a lot of therapy. They never told her about the Other Mother being able to get back to her world.

Luke Skywalker(Star Wars):At the climax of Return of the Jedi Luke deliberately goes without the aid of his comrades to confront Darth Vader and the Emperor. Though as the Emperor disdainfully pointed out, Luke had faith that his friends would succeed.

Miles and Kingpin(Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), near the end of the final battle, Miles Morales sends the other Spider-People home, since they're in danger of disintegrating if they stay in his dimension for too long, and fights the Kingpin alone.

The final missions(Call of Duty: Black Ops II) become this, especially in the Golden Ending. For most of the game, David Mason has a reliable squad of SEALs under his command and is commanded by Admiral Briggs from the USS Obama. Then Odysseus happens. The Obama is suddenly stormed by Menendez's mercs and severely damaged, if not outright destroyed. Farid, if he survived "Achilles' Veil", is killed, Crosby is W.I.A., Salazar turns out to be Menendez's mole, and Briggs is critically wounded, if not outright killed. By the final mission, the only one of your supporting team that you can possibly still have with you is Harper - and even then, that's only if Farid didn't kill him to keep his cover in an earlier mission, which is a requirement for the best ending.

Galaxy Quest: a group of aliens find “historical documents” of an sci-fi tv show and begin modeling their technology and equipment after its set pieces. They even end up bring in the original actors of the show when they need help against a ruthless invader. All while they are under the impression that the things they’ve been watching are real events and not just a television show - with actors and fake props. They even go through the effort of duplicating the technology to an absolute egregious degree of accuracy. Like making it so a self destruct function only stops at the last second, even when pressed earlier. Because that’s what happened in the show.

Big Bad Beetleborgs: after a group of kids save Flabber(who is effectively a mix of a ghost and genie), he offers them one wish in return. They wish to become beetleborgs - Superheroes from a comic series they’re a fan of. Flabber agrees, but in granting them their powers he also accuse sets free the villians of the comic. The main story is about how the kids now need to defeat them and out the villian back where they belong, now actually taking up the roles of the heroes they admired from the comics as they defend innocent people and fight evil.

Agatha All Along: a group of witches(and one teen boy) want to go on a journey through the Witches Road, a legend about a magical road that would give whoever finishes the road something they wish to attain. But here’s the thing. The road is only a myth. It doesn’t exist. It never existed. It’s a con that Agatha Harkness created as a way to trick witches so she could lead them to their deaths and steal their powers. The titular “road” the characters travel on for most of the series is revealed to be an illusion created by Billy, the son of the Scarlet witch. He creates his own version based on the stories and legends he studied about it. The various trials the witches go through are also seemingly built by their own insecurities and trauma, with Billy’s mind reading abilities subconsciously turning them into another part of the road. He’s actually wracked with guilt at the end because he realized that means he got multiple killed on a journey HE manifested without realizing it.

1. Aqua from Konosuba:

Despite being a literal goddess, she's stupid, arrogant, selfish, dumb, and stupid - almost always causing more problems for her party than she solves. She also puts the world she is responsible for in danger by losing track of the powerful cheat items that she gave to people she reincarnated into said world.

1. Mega-mega from I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level:

Mega-mega is a goddess responsible for resurrecting people into other worlds. She has a fondness for young women and is demoted from her position as a goddess once it's found out that she has been reincarnating everyone as an immortal beautiful young woman.

1. Panty & Stocking from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt:

Panty & Stocking are a pair of angels who were banished from heaven due to their respective lust and gluttony. On Earth, it is their role to destroy ghosts in order to earn their way back into heaven. They do this but they also make absolutely no effort to stop the behaviours that got them kicked out of heaven in the first place.

• Smash Bros. Ultimate - In Min Min's reveal trailer, Ryō Horikawa; Captain Falcon's VA reprises his role only to record himself slurping noodles, that's pretty much it. 20+ years of no new recorded lines, just to make eating noodles noises for a trailer.

• Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Videogame - Sparrow's actor; Johnny Depp was brought back to "voice" his character, means just recording mumbling and grunting for the game.

One way to really set the oppressive atmosphere of a setting is by having our characters get randomly questioned or interrogated by a soldier/cop out of nowhere, often for very minor reasons

1. "Pick up that can." (Half-Life 2)

When Gordon first arrives to City 17, a Combine Civil Protection officer he's passing by suddenly drops a soda can in front of him and orders him to pick it up. If you comply here and throw the can in the bin he'll amusedly let you pass, but if you don't then he'll proceed to whip out his stunstick and attack you on the spot

1. "I'm just a tourist." (Andor)

In the episode "Announcement" of Season 1, a random shoretrooper on Niamos questions and threatens Cassian (using the fake alias "Keef Girgo") for nervously looking around too much while they're conducting a crackdown. The trooper asks if he's "a part of it" to which Cassian repeatedly protests that he isn't and that he's just a perfectly normal tourist; he's then violently arrested by him anyway and sentenced to hard labor in Narkina 5 without a fair trial

1. "Now, you. Show me your identification papers, please." (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus)

A Nazi commandant randomly sits down at Papa Joe's Diner, orders a strawberry milkshake for himself and then very casually asks Blazkowicz to show his ID papers to him. Here you can show him your fake IDs (where you use the alias "John Smith") which seems to fool the commandant for a bit before he looks at a wanted poster on the wall and immediately recognizes your true identity, frantically pulling out his pistol before being shot by the diner's owner

The Boys Lamplighter is supposed to be seen as a tragic character, who killed Mallory's grandchildren by mistake, and between that and his dreams of becoming famous for his father, has become a depressed Death Seeker. However, some felt this failed to make sympathetic, because he is introduced helping test Compound V, even killing people who Stormfront is displeased with, and isn't shown doing anything to help people he himself claims need it. This isn't helped by the fact that when he and Hughie are in the Seven Tower, Lamplighter sets himself on fire activating the alarms and alerting the building with little regard to what might happen afterward. Worse, his personality after escaping and hiding with the Boys makes him seem like an asshole who forces Hughie to watch porn that makes him uncomfortable. These traits make it hard to see him as a tragic character for some viewers.

Victoria in the Season 4 finale tries to pull a "Not So Different" Remark on Hughie, calling him on Butcher chopping off Sameer's leg so he could make more of the supe-killing virus, never mind that she was the one who put him in that position in the first place. In any case it pales in comparison to the numerous people she murdered and deceived during her rise to power, as well as turning her own daughter into a monster, who then committed murder herself. Given that her attempted turn to good was brought about more because she realized she'd have no power if she got elected president, she comes across less as being motivated to protect Zoe and more trying to dodge consequences now that her Karma Houdini Warranty has run out. Her sudden death comes across as very karmic rather than the Villain's Dying Grace it was ended as.

Justice League Cadmus the writers of this show has stated that Project Cadmus, the anti-Justice League government think tank in the fourth season, were supposed to be sympathetic Anti Villains with a strong point about the dangers of unrestricted superhumans. In fact, the writers found Cadmus so sympathetic that they introduced a Conflict Killer in the form of Brainiac so he could be revealed as having been manipulating both sides to avoid having to paint either Cadmus or the League as in the wrong. Fans, on the other hand, overwhelmingly sided with the League, considering Cadmus's deeds included attempting to nuke an inhabited island simply to kill Superman and Doomsday, creating Doomsday to begin with, manufacturing an army of cloned Slave Mooks and sending them to massacre the League, including the completely innocent Watchtower staff, and teaming up with supervillains including Lex Luthor, all before the League had done much of anything to them. If anything, the audience viewed Cadmus causing all that shit just to get justification for what they do.

Essentially this is a trope dealing with a piece of fiction that may have a stock monster but they have decided to change some part of the lore, the abilities or the design to make it stand out from the rest, the monster may be in any genre but it has to be significantly unique in some way to the stock idea of it

Wolfwalkers:

The Wolfwalkers change a lot of things from what someone what may think of werewolves though does keep some parts, they can turn into a wolf form and transmit it by bite but their souls leave their bodies and manifest into wolves

House of Ashes:

The vampires feed on blood, can burn in sunlight or UV light, can be beaten with a stake in the heart and have a bat like appearance but are actually aliens in origin and they are more monsterous then human looking typical vampires

Wish Dragon:

The titular dragon, along, resides in a jade teapot, can take back wishes if he misinterprets them and can shapeshift into human form, can grant three wishes and has three limitation, can’t kill, can’t make people fall in love, and can’t time travel, so there’s some similarities to the stock idea but enough variety

Ben 10:

Ripjaws clearly has some mermaid inspiration like some other aliens in the classic series being inspired by other monsters but it becomes clear when he gets his tail in the water though he is unique with having an angler fish light and very prominent and sharp teeth when compared to the regular mermaid

I hope my picks make sense and I may get some things wrong which I apologise for

I think it's just so goofy and silly every time.

-Akita being interviewed in Ninjago

-An Aspheera's Snake minion being inerviewed

-A dog from an old video about dog being interviewed

1- tony yelling I get it in top of the mountain because he was having a good day after killing Chris and getting away with it he realized he can do whatever he wants in this world and was the same moment where he never had a panic attack

2-the flowers in Walter house the lily of the valley which are the same flowers that are used to poison Brock so he could frame Gus and make Jesse side with him

Final Destination Bloodlines: The events of the tower collapsing, and leading to Death pursuing the protagonists and countless others, is the fault of 'the penny kid'.

Elevator (2012): Madeline, the granddaughter of the building's owner, sets the plot in motion by playing with the elevator controls to torture the claustrophobic George.

1. Dragon Ball Z - in order to buy more time for Goten and Trunks in the time chamber, Piccolo recommends that Super Buu kills some more time by... killing everyone else on Earth. I mean I guess you've got Dragon Balls but still, what the Hell, man? This backfires about as spectacularly as it sounds as Buu does exactly that, only he doesn't take his time with it.
2. Doctor Who - Amy and Rory are trapped in a TARDIS possessed by a malevolent entity called House. When asked why House shouldn't just kill the two right away, Rory replies "Well, killing us quickly wouldn't be any fun. Why not take your time torturing us." Like I get being a bit panicked but why was that your first suggestion?

1. Helena Bonham Carter playing Belatrix, who is suppose to be Hermione acting like she's Belatrix.
2. Chris Evans playing Steve Rogers, who is Loki mocking Captain America.
3. Sarah Michelle Gellar & Eliza Dushku trading places in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The Parson of the Canterbury Tales. While the other members of clergy are various members of corrupt or sexual promiscuous or greedy the Parson is a genuinely faithful member who works with his flock and even helps cover Tithes.

Father Maxi (South Park) the only Catholics priest in the South Park world that isn’t a pedophile

What do you mean this character has a lot of similarities to another, it’s totally a different original character (essentially parody characters or characters that it is very obvious where the inspiration came from, I’m gonna just do a bit where I pretend that they are totally not, okay, also I left out a fun one on purpose because i thought it would be more fun for the audience, I think it’s fun when they have to go around and make their own when its obvious whose it is supposed to be.)

Characters:

Agent Spider from Invincible:

What do you mean this character is similar to any Marvel character, just because he’s got spider abilities and is voiced by Josh Keaton, doesn’t mean that its Spider-Man

Rorschach from Watchmen:

This character may have a faceless mask and wear trenchcoat and fedora but that does not mean he is a knock off of The Question

Creature of the Clergy from Its Bunlith! The Witch Upstairs!

Okay this character may have some resemblances to other characters but it has a fluffy tail so it is in no way the Cleric Beast from Bloodborne

(I have no idea of the actual name of the last creature so I made my own, please let me know if there is one)

The examples are:

The Wicker Man: In the end, the protagonist begs for his life while being burned alive inside the titular object

Ibitsu: This manga is about an unknown supernatural entity that chooses people to force them to become its “older siblings,” obviously isolating them from their loved ones and killing anyone who gets in the way. When the protagonist is about to be killed by it, he gets down on his knees and begs for mercy.

1) Wilm Hosenfeld: Real Life, depicted in The Pianist

After the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, Władysław Szpilman is trapped in the ruins, forced to hide out and scavenge for food. He is found by Hosenfeld, who takes pity on him and gives him food and clothing. He was later made Righteous among the Nations.

2) General Kuribayashi: Real Life, depicted in Letters from Iwo Jima

In contrast to the abuse and suicidality prevalent in the Imperial Japanese army, Kuribayashi treats his soldiers with respect. He clamps down on corporate punishments and executions, and allows tactical retreat to preserve the lives of his men.

3) Lieutenant Dunbar: Dances with the Wolves

In contrast to the bigotry and disdain expressed against the Sioux by other cavalry officers, Dunbar tries to seek peace with his neighbors and advocates preserving their culture. And so when another Cavalry unit arrives at his post, Dunbar refuses to help them chase the Sioux and eventually turns on his country.

Torture is often shown as an effective way of interrogation, with writers forgetting one key detail: People lie. AAMOF, it's likely that they will lie and give you untrue information to not be tortured

The Last of Us - Joel has an interrogation map where he'd make two different people point to something on a map. If they both pointed the same thing it meant the info was true. Very often this wasn't the case

Mass Effect 2 - Garrus points out that torture is not effective because victims will lie to make the torture stop

Users whose weapons or powers are not the “standard” ones for their personality type. It’s not that the characters hate them as such, but that their powers or weapons are not what one would expect from their archetype.

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: There’s a theory that Master Splinter gave each turtle a specific weapon so that it would balance out their personality, just as the image shows.

- Bertolt Hoover – Attack on Titan: Bertolt was chosen to inherit the Colossal Titan because, according to his instructor Magath, he was the calmest and most composed of all the Warriors, and the Colossal Titan is a “god of war.”

- Seto Kousuke – Kagerou Project: His power allows him to read minds and maintain telepathic communication with his friends, but he rarely uses it because he is someone who values privacy and sincere connections.

- Sloth – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: He is the homunculus named after the sin of Sloth, and as such he is very lazy and only wants to rest; nevertheless, his characteristic ability is superhuman speed.
