I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to Anakin slaughtering the younglings as "morally questionable".
-
I hate that feeling when I stand up too fast and start having vague and ambiguous visions of my future that prompt me to reconsider my life for a few seconds.
-
"The average character is unlikely to talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" gotta be one of my favorite quotes
-
“Call me Nat Geo because I’ve got a ton of gorgeous issues” is an amazing line and I am 100% stealing it
-
Ah, fiction, where "coma" always ends in waking up, fresh as a daisy.
-
"Oh my gosh are you okay?" - "I fly now" Gotta say I love the built-in jokes on the slides, they always get an unexpected laugh out of me
-
Describing Anakin slaughtering children as "morally questionable" is the biggest understatement I've heard in a very long time.
-
I love when Plot happens in Aurora and like two months later a trope talk comes out conveniently coinciding with that Plot
-
Someone literally fighting their own metaphorical character traits is my favorite
-
As soon as you mentioned dreams giving exposition, I immediately thought of Percy Jackson. Every dream he has is either symbolic or just straight up showing what is happening with the enemies. I swear, never once has this pour kid ever dreamt of going to school naked, or magically transforming the gods into gummy worms or something.
-
And once again we see Red's ongoing quest to implement footage from The Owl House into every single trope talk.
-
Lovecraft used to use fainting spells just to avoid having to write an end which would explain how his first person narrator survived long enough to tell the story.
-
My absolute favorite is when the character feels like they managed to solve all of their internal conflict through a dream but reality isn't agreeing with that and it becomes a problem
-
I wonder how much development I'm missing because I don't remember my dreams.
-
I love that almost any trope talk can circle to Avatar. What a great series.
-
Honestly, for Dragon Prince I think the answer to “why can’t other people have a dream and wake up with power?” is “they can”. Callum had already been trying to connect to wind magic on his own and finally made the breakthrough in his dream; which kinda fits as the place to cement the kind of innate connection required. Seems to me like anyone could theoretically make the same breakthrough, or at least any other human wizard in the setting.
-
my favoret character development was how blue and red have developed over roughly 10 years
-
To quote Dumbledore: "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
-
Practically, getting physically knocked out and sent into a character development coma is the storytelling equivalent of percussive maintenance
-
As a narcoleptic, this video was one inside joke with myself after another 😂 I will now be referring to cataplexy as a 'character development coma' and take daily power-up naps. (Also, it's an awesome trope talk.)
