Tropes you love

>character is introduced for a single episode to be killed or written out as part of a "this could happen to anyone" gimmick
>Other characters excessively act as if this character has always had a major presence on the show and in their livea

So... Ponce de Leon from Clone High?

No, Seymour from Futurama

>villain is normally a failure and often played for comedy
>episode/movie where their plan succeeds and they’re a total badass

The Colonel from American Dad
Roy from The Simpsons

MORRRRRPH

he has another thread up right now

i have nothing to add to the thread, this is my absolute favorite everytime

>Characters try get rich quick scheme.
>Being rich fundamentally changes them and everyone around them.
>They go back to being poor/moderately wealthy.

>Someone in power wants a break, but can't have others liking their replacement.
>They pick the spineless most weak person they can think of and then disappear for whatever reason.
>The spineless weakling becomes a mad tyrant that everyone fears.

Genuinely one of my favourite episodes of Recess.

But Seymour did have a massive presence in Frys life.

MOOOOOOOOOORPH!!!

when did that ever happen?!

Morph from X-Men: The Animated Series

Not him, but Jack Spicer took control of the world and imprisoned all the other villains in apocalyptic future.

>Goofy villain is actually a fucking menace when fighting literally any other person than the specific hero they usually face
>Goofy relief character loses their cool and turns into a walking engine of destruction
>bBg bad is actually a really cool employer that cares for their minions in unexpected ways

I don't think it's a fair example if the episode is episode 1. Though it qualifies when you look at it franchise-wise, I guess.

Can someone give some examples of the first one? That seems like a cool concept

The Monarch from Venture Brothers.

Munchkin Mouse

Rick and Morty literally did a whole episode about this trope.

In a way, Drakken from Kim Possible was this. None of his hairbrained schemes worked until he was trying to save the world.

I knew Clone high stole it from somewhere smart makes sense it was Rick and Morty.

And it sucked

Fair enough, but that's more cause he's a rat bastard who doesn't play by the book.

>new villain is introduced
>is extremely powerful
>completely BTFOs everyone else
>the only one who can stop them is the previous villain

HATE'S GREAT BEST VILLAIN

YES

At least it allowed them to kill someone in the first episode. Made the stakes seem higher to an audience of kids who knew little of the characters.

>all the characters we’ve come to know get captured/frozen/zombified
>MC has to stop the villain on their own

10/10, you totally got me.

>hero has to fight off the villains without his powers/technosuit/whatever

Literally every "bad future" episode of any cartoon ever.

GI Joe did it like 3 times

Character bullshits their way through life with misunderstandings they're not even the sponsors of

>Oh no someone we know got sick!
>We better shrink down and enter their bloodstream and physically fight off the germs!

Dr. Drakken got pretty close to actually winning in the second Kim Possible movie.

>hero and villain team up to fight bigger villain

What are the best examples of this?

So The Drama was rad.

In Spider-Man TAS, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Venom team up to stop Baron Mordo, Dormammu, and Carnage.

>villain constantly changes his wardrobe or appearance
>he's goofy and hammy but is also a legitimate threat to the heroes

>Protagonist is mostly lighthearted and even silly at times
>becomes a serious badass when facing off against the villain

Your favorite trope is trash.

The Spongeob Movie

Characters using their powers in creative combinations.
Bouncing stuff off Cap's shield, big characters throwing small characters, etc.

most nick movies/specials

Ending episode of JLU Unlimited

Zurg from the Buzz Lightyear cartoon fits the second criteria
