Oops, superhero related but more a novel than a comic book, my bad

That's because it's not a real trope.

>crying fixes it

>hero does literally all of the work to finally save the girl
>gets sidelined by another guy who did fuck all

>BEST.... (THING).. EVER!

Oh boy that's a rough one

It's not from a cartoon, but the Nickelodeon movie Snow Day. The cliche is:

"Average dude works hard to impress the Hot Girl at school and it seems to be working. However, his mediocre dumpy looking Girl Friend kisses him. He has a talk with the Hot Girl and though she is willing to give him a chance after having a bad break up with her Bad Boy Chad Boyfriend the Average Dude? He takes the general advice given to him by the Hot Girl that he should still go and hook up with the Dumpy Average Girl Friend of his."

That never stopped making me angry.

The "will they or won't they" is usually done to keep the spergs happy. I don't understand why not having a heart warming union would be the focus if it's only making a micro percentage of your fanbase happy but sometimes a character remaining "pure" gives them legs within the fandom. Still don't like it, though.

One of my biggest peeves is any character that is an asshole and never gets any sort of comeuppance.

Another is when a character has been treated unfairly and none of other characters apologize or make amends for the unfair treatment.

Two examples at the top of my head would be Josh's birthday party in Clarence and the ending "Family Fracas" from Bob's Burgers. In the former, Josh had his face scarred, cheated on and dumped, had ear bitten off, lost an eye, became depressed and obese, lost his right hand, had his tail bone broken, and just treated like scum by everyone for literally no reason so him having one moment of fleeting joy before having to continue his painful existence is nothing but a shameless attempt at throwing the audience bread crumbs.

For the latter, after being humiliated on national tv, losing out on a car, and having his enemy completely get away with fucking him over, was watching Bob take pleasure in Jimmy not knowing how to change the tire of the car the Belchers should have won really supposed to be cathartic to the audience after the shit that preceded it?

Go ahead and tell me that I'm seeing the glass as half empty but you can't deny that these are unsatisfying payoffs. Why couldn't we get an episode of Josh actually taking more steps to improve his life and come up on top in spite of it all or at least give us a reason why we should take pleasure in his suffering? As for something like Bob's Burgers, I don't know how I would ended the episode but anything would be better than what we actually got.

>Protagonist has a best friend of the opposite gender

But then you get the faggots demanding that said race be put in the story, or worse if it's vidya. i.e. High Elves in Warcraft got 90% of their race killed, then the remaining ones turned into Blood Elves because they drank infernal energy to gain powers to fight back. The early books were super specific in that High Elves had only less than 1% of the original numbers left. But despite Blood Elves being -the- High Elves with added energy that never stops faggots from demanding them every fucking year.

ISHVALANS

Always bugged with with the Red Sky seasons of TMNT.

But the whole point of the episode was that Terry believed in him, right until the end, to the point that Bruce even believed him to be right.

Ishvalans weren't completely exterminated, but they were basically broken up, but to be honest the Ishvalans had it coming starting a war over some dumb religion and some little girl getting shot.

Then when they get their ass whooped their dumb religious leader wants to act like he's some kind of big spot and his surrender will end the war. Fuck the Ishvalans they unironically had it coming and fuck Mustang and Armstrong for being bitches about it.

It's one thing when this is played as a joke, but sometimes it's like they legitimately want you to believe that the person being lied to is actually that oblivious in a non-comedic way, and I just can't buy it. I have a theory that they do this so viewers who aren't paying too much attention can tell that the person is lying so they don't get confused.

This is so exhausting. What kind of writer wants to write an endless of cycle of "are you the superhero? Haha no way!"

It would be more realistic and pragmatic for an AI to just gradually remove any and all power from humanity while also providing for their every need, making them too fat and lazy to stop it.

Because it's so realistic and grounded in society. Zero tolerance and the like are what's causing more school shootings than bullying itself should ever hope to just because they'd rather brush the problem under a rug than waste tax money doing their goddamned jobs.

Fuck you. Everyone has problems. Just because you were an infantryman doesn't give you the right to beat your kid until he turns into a basket case. This goes double for women, because they usually get away with a lot more. Just once I want to see a female villain try to sob her eyes out for the protagonist only to have the protagonist's GF shoot her in the fucking face.

>villains are just Nazis.
come up with something better guys.

To continue on: Perhaps there is narrative beats where its TOTALLY the moment he betrays the protagonist - and even the protag is starting to suspect something.

But then nothing actually happens - nothing bad at all. The dark silhouette that the protag has seen the last few episodes in the corner of his eye or in newspapers or photos? The one that turned out to be the Master?

Turns out he was following the protag and protecting him from various thugs so that the protag could enjoy a day off heroics and be a normal 10-13 year old kid.

Tie it up in a nice knot with a 'don't judge a book' moral.

There should at least be someone explaining to the kid after the fact what's happening and/or some foreshadowing that the master is there to protect the kid.
Because really, if there's a 13-year-old chosen one present and his salty as fuck master magician who has seen some shit and can force-pull your heart out of your chest is in the area, you don't bother the fucking kid while he's on vacation.

>>villains are space Nazis.

Heres how I would do it. Have the next episode be a 'limelight' episode based on the master's dealings during that episode, showing events that happened in it from a completely different view.

Perfect.

Hero defeats villian and he doesn't rape him.

>Villain and hero start relationship
>One always changes to the other's side
You'd think that at least once they'd just drop out of the fight, flee the country, and bang. Especially if it's two characters with extremely similar life philosophies on opposite sides of a conflict that they gain nothing from.

anime is just cartoons for japan

I really love this entire premise. The AI basically gave the humans exactly what they wanted and gave them no reason to fight back while it simultaneously stripped all control from them, only delegating the meaningless tasks to them while controlling everything else.

I interpret it more as a jab at Nice Guys(TM) who believe that being nice to someone means they must reciprocate to "even the score".
Which is fine and all, but I do think it's not very compatible with "normal" stories, where a lack of karmatic consequences for villains and heroes usually feels unjust and anticlimactic.
Could work in a short story all about this lesson, or a Tighten-type villain who thinks they're the hero, or a setting(/backstory) that's supposed to feel unjust and shitty.

Sounds like that episode of justice league that I hate.

In incredibles it made sense considering super heroes were banned.

That's hot

They gutted every character in that show. Last good episode was the fight between Lapis and gems, because of all the OH SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL AND STAKES ARE THERE but it all got killed off with "nope just want to go home".
