* This wacky but lovable cartoon MadScientist (arguably the most popular character in his series), recognizable by his unusual nose, tall, slender physique, and brown hair, is well known for his close friendship with a robot and his ridiculous but complex rivalry with an unusual small mammal. Living in an uncertain region of the United States, he became who he is today due to his unhappy childhood, but even as an adult, he still can't catch a break, with far more attractive people often overshadowing them in everything he does.\\
Is he '''[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/CloneHigh Principal Cinnamon J. Scudworth]]'''? ([[https://www.reddit.com/r/phineasandferbmemes/comments/1avmksb/i_hope_no_one_else_made_this_yet/ Inspired by this Reddit post]])

\n* Video-essayist schnee, opens [[https://youtu.be/X5tmC9oo9XQ?si=rEKAFY2Ir4wChJ7O this video]] by a comparison between '''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse Spider-Gwen]]''' and '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}} Vi]]'''
-->''Creator/HaileeSteinfeld is amazing at playing female leads who are effortlessly cool, especially if they have a side-shave, a pink side-shave that is. Especially is they're great at fighting, and also great at swining around, at climbing and jumping through cityscapes. You know, that kind of female ActionGirl who is more athletic than buff, but their strength really comes from form, from skill, skill they earned. We can really see the signs of how long they worked at it, how much it's a part of who they are. I'm not talking just about any athletic action girl with a pink side-shave. Specifically, it's protector types. Characters who have a favorite person in the whole world. You know, someone younger than them, someone who looks up to them, tries to keep up with them. And there's this great learning relationship, Halee Steinfeld will test them and they'll succeed. And for these younger characters Hailee Steinfeld is jsut their most favorite person ever in the entire world. All they want is to be with her, and there comes a time where they can't, but they go anywayn. And that really messes everything up, in fact this younger character as a whole kinda messes everything up. It's kinda this character's whole arc actually and ends up being about embracing this distruptive nature...But again, I'm sidetracking here, back to our action girls. It's a kind of character who is tought, but also emotional, they;re willing up being vurnerable, but only with the people they love. They may hold back from big displays of affection, but that's only because they prefer subtler gestures, like, um... I don't know, leaning agaisnt their shoulder maybe? I don't know, something like that. In general they are comfortable with the idea of attraction, but in their own romantic life they prefer to take things slower. Sometimes so slow their relationships fall apart before they can even start. But I mean it's kinda feat that thay can't be together, after all, they're from different worlds, that's ultimatelly what keeps them apart. That and her romantic interest's parents don't really like her, although they can be won over. And we kinda roof for their romance to work out because they don't have anyone else, they're orphans, sort of. depending on whenever we're in part one or part two of their story. Really ,they both have like a, tough, principledfather figure they can model themselves after completely. Father figures they don't always see eye to eye with how they do things, but who end up making an unexpected sacrifice and ultimatelly leaving them, or end up inevitably leaving and then making an unexpected sacrifice. But either way we end up their arc with a warm father-daughter moment full of empowerment and encouragment, which gonna lean into their reunion with the younger character, the msot cherished one whom they wronged...So if you have a character like this, the kinda girl who is not girly at all, but still feminine in her own way, who is kinda a jock but not dumb or anything. The kind of character who gets awesome characters, and moving emotional scenes, who seems pretty emotionally stable day to day, but is also haunted by trauma in her past, the kind that forced her to grow up too fast and then more trauma that forces her out of her own world, which is the worst thing ever for her. But hey, at least she can spend more time getting stronger as if, you know, getting better at action girl stuff is gonna solve her problems, when really, the true obstacles in her life has always been emotional and won't be about confronting the villan but confronting the reality she's been avoiding. If you have character like that, I strongly recommend casting Halee Steinfeld.

* This character is an [[ArtificialHuman artificial being]] created by the EldritchAbomination BigBad of the show for data-gathering purpose. They are sent to human world without being aware of their nature. Living as a brave and cheerful youngster, they contrast yet befriend the reluctant goggled main character who doesn't actually act like a hero at first. After the hero gets some CharacterDevelopment, they become the hero's most important person that he would risk his life to save. When it's revealed that they are the big bad's tools [[ApocalypseMaiden destinied to bring upon the end of the world]], and no human to begin with, the hero utterly falls into despair. They wear [[MsFanservice black tight]] [[MrFanservice suit]] as the big bad's servant, and emotionlessly announce to the broken-hearted hero that their good relationship before this means nothing to them. But when they are shown something that binds them to the hero, it turns out that the consciousness of them as the hero's friend are genuine and still there, struggling to return to their old self. Knowing this, the hero promises to save them from the big bad's dominance and save the world. Unfortunately, because they are still part of the big bad's entity, [[HeroicSacrifice they have to 'die' following the big bad's defeat, in order to save the entire world]]. The hero felt devastated for losing this character, but he believes that they are always connected forever. Is this character [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann's Nia Teppelin]], or [[Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters Digimon Universe's Oozora Yuujin]]? In addition, the 'father' of the said character also becomes the hero's greatest enemy at some point, but later acknowledges the hero and trusts the world on the hero's hand upon his fall.

* Making his formal debut in the sequel installment to a certain series, this WellIntentionedExtremist strongly believes that a certain segment of the setting's populace (those who'd more-or-less be regular, everyday people, by our real-life standards) are getting pushed to the sidelines where instead they should be ruling the roost. Taking a new name to hide his old identity, he gathers an army of ruthless extremists, outfitting them with an arsenal of devices from electrified melee-weapons to fighter-aircraft and armored [[MiniMecha mech-suits]]. The vanguard of his forces are an elite cadre of [[GasMaskMooks gas-masked]] ninjas who specialize in the one-hit takedown, headed by his {{Dragon}}- a stern martial-arts expert probably identifiable by his distinctive eyewear. One member of the team of protagonists opposing our villain's plans is an intelligent, combat-capable brunette who happens to be the estranged daughter of one of his key allies. '''[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Jack Harper / the Illusive Man]]''', or '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Noatok / Amon]]'''?
