Working Title: Memetic Badass: From YKTTW
Thatother1dude: I'm pretty sure Bonecrusher hating everything doesn't necessarily makes him a badass.
Scrounge: Does raping everything make Damon Gant a badass? When Bonecrusher hates something, he will grind it into a fine powder if given half a chance.
That Other 1 Dude: You know what? Sure. Bonecrusher's strong enough to kill most things he hates, I guess he counts.
Peteman: As Bad Ass as he is, I think the implication was that O-Chul won because he was turned to stone, therefore couldn't blink.
That Other 1 Dude: That thing about Tsukihime doesn't count because that's talking about canon Bad Assness, so it should be in the regular article.
- In a word: Wolverine.
- The Incredible Hulk.
I don't think these count; they seem to be more examples of Power Creep, Power Seep.
- The basilisk thing was a technicality! Stone doesn't blink
- It did after O-Chul stared it down long enough!
- ...The Basilisk wasn't turned to stone, O-Chul was. That's the joke.
- ....what part of "memetic badass" do you not understand? The point is veiwing the facts in such a way as to make the target's flaws non-existant. Next thing you know, you'll say there's no way Mr. Rodgers could beat Godzilla.
- I blame this on the comment saying so at The Forge. Guys? Being at Intimacy 5 might mean that you HAVE had sex, but not being at Int 5 ''doesn't mean you haven't.''
- The basilisk thing was a technicality! Stone doesn't blink
Conversation In The Main Page. Makes it much less funny, too.
- Snake Plissken? I heard you were dead.
- Name's Ash. Housewares.
- Everybody who has played Tsukihime fully agrees that Nanaya Shiki is the most badass character ever. I mean, the guy is an amoral sociopathic killer split personality who can kill *anything* in his way by cutting them with a fruit knife while laughing, speaking poetically, and showing nothing but a mixture of amusement and contempt for his enemy, despite the fact he is facing some of the most powerful beings on the planet.
- And speaking of TYPE-MOON, let's not forget the man they invented the word 'GAR' for.
- Kratos from God of War. Lets face it, anyone who can kill a hyrda, save a woman with seconds to spare before falling to her death, climb a titan for 3 days straight, solve EVERY puzzle in the Temple of Pandora, get Pandora's Box, get killed and come back to life, kill a god AND have such cool weapons while at all time looking like he could happily kill small puppies, fry them up and eat them for lunch is pretty badass in my books. And thats just the first game!
I'd say these are just regular Badasses.
Citizen: I don't think Kenpachi Zaraki and Aizen Sousuke from Bleach really qualify here, as the former really is badass and the latter has obscene hax. They certainly can't compare to a better example: Aizen's couch.
Arguably, this applies to many mythological character, making this trope [1]. Consider:
- One day Hercules felt too hot, so shot an arrow at the Sun God to make him turn the heat down. He also built the Pillars of Hercules, walked into Hades and beat up [[Hellhound Cerberus]], temporarily held up the sky for Atlas, etc.
- Finn McCool threw some rocks at a rival but missed, creating the Isle of Mann. He also built the Giant's Causeway so he could get walk from Ireland to Scotland without getting his feet wet.
- Meanwhile, an English giant called Vincent dug the Avon Gorge to impress a girl.
- And numerous other examples of hills (formed by a giant dropping/throwing rocks, or scraping the dirt of his boots), valleys (formed by giants sitting down), thunder/volcanoes (caused by giants/gods) having a tantrum.
- Cliché: Why do I get the feeling that half the examples on this page are forced memes?
R Taco: Removed the second example of Hogger.
Caswin: Removing the (second) Avatar entry on Toph. That's a different kind of overhyping. Although that has me wondering about the entry on Sokka now... (While I'm at it, most of the stuff on Gaston should be obvious, but I've never heard any connection between him and desu before now.)
Gaunt88: Would a troper tales page for this article be out of the question? I'm sure people would have examples of this meme from their friend circles, but it does have a lot of potential to be abused.
GG Crono: Sorry, didn't realize that a different picture was put on Memetic Mutation.
Lucky Mc Dowell: This really needs to be cleaned up and reorganized. There is a lot of overlap between the listings, and it's really cluttered and misrepresentative of a lot of the people.
Cut from Real Life, right under Gary Kasparov:
- Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux) is a Memetic Geek/Nerd Badass. No, seriously.
