but whenever a guy becomes a huge he does the same shit

what's your point

I've never understood that trope in general for any character. Unless you are the Hulk or something the amount of aggression you have would not change. It would be more awkward and unintentionally dangerous.

contain your autism

Gonna need some examples. Asking for a friend.

You can tell from the wording at the end that this was just a shitpost thread and not genuine. Why can't Yea Forums tell these things at all.

in all fairness if you woke up with amnesia, and someone adressed you as something you're not familiar with then at the very least youd be confused as fuck. its also probably the easiest way to show someone has it.

'scuse me when the fuck has this ever happened? never.

Imagine how interesting would be Total Drama if it wasn't for kids

That's a lot of shows with talking animals.
Animals seem to have this universal language they can all understand, but humans can't speak to anything that's not human.
All Dogs Go to Heaven kinda played with that.
The dogs couldn't understand what the rats were saying (then again neither could Anne Marie), and the horses never actually spoke, either.
The alligator could speak to the dogs though, so it's inconsistent anyway.

>garbage people
When you say that, do you mean waste disposal, or actual human rubbish?

It impedes character development. As a kid, I used to watch Hey, Arnold, and it was mostly great, but a character would get a new job or shit like that, and it would all be gone in the next episode. Even back then it was really weird.

>all meaningfull character moments are either forgoten or shat on and forgoten

Always hate this shit. Like yeah, my friends and I rib each other, but it's not a constant 24/7 thing, especially if something serious is going on in one of our lives, the rest lay off.

I don't mind this.

This gets annoying

This needs to fuckin stop.

Also you all need to play Final Fantasy Mobius, pictured here . It's about an amnesiac hero who doesn't want to be a hero fighting to stop chaos because a prophecy says he has to and complaining every step of the way. Every single character is pissed off at the world for shoehorning them into their roles and it's great. The main character (Wol) doesn't take any of that tropey bullshit.

It'd make sense to say something like "Do you mean me?" or "Is that my name?"

The "Who's Steve?" reply would make sense if they woke up thinking they were someone specific. I honestly think writers use it in an amnesia plot just because they're lazy and get those plot types mixed up.

A lot of the time this would be OK if the guy being joked about would laugh it off & wisecrack in return, but writers seem to think it isn't funny if it seems goodnatured, so they have to play it like a legit putdown.
It would honestly be funnier seeing these people being wiseasses to each other like actual friends, but nope, they just act like assholes who have no good reason to be hanging out together.

And then other writers do the same thing just because they think it's standard.

>I don't mind this.
It wouldn't be so bad on its own, but it's too often played like the audience should be surprised as well. It's annoying when the show acts like "you thought only a man could do something badass, right? Gotcha!"
It acts like the audience is stuck in an 1800s mindset or something.

Yeah it's a bit tired at this point. Everyone wants their STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER to be Eowyn.

I've noticed that a lot of the art types have no clue how things work IRL, and frequently overcomplicate systems, equipment, and procedures, while managing to get all of it completely wrong.

The Level 0 thing was stupid too.

>Female fighter

Ironically the writers do this to show that she's not a strong-armed brute. However drawing a bow need some serious upper-body strength especially if she's doing it in rapid succession during a fight. Fighting with a sword would have been much easier.

>Heroes are young freedom fighters

It just screams uninspired.

Any specific examples, out of curiosity?

You hit the nail on the head as to why these "jokes" fall flat. Why go through the effort of coming up with hilarious banter between the characters when you can just have them straight up verbally and physically abuse one person as a substitute for "comedy"?

Pretty much any of the big "unwieldy" weapons would be better than bows. While they are not exactly lightweight they are designed to be as light as possible while still effective. Plus since they are usually used by two-hands they are somewhat easier to lift.

This is more rare for male villains, a dude crying and a woman crying are two totally different things. Besides that half the time the male villain is faking it and does a sly eye or stops crying for a second, looks, and starts pouting again. Or the sob story is real but it's what he likes and it doesn't actually make him sad.

What's so hard to understand?
A lot of stories feature moments half-assing the characterization of the female character as being strong and thus simply tell the audience she's strong, whereas SHOWING them through her actions would be much more effective.
