Is this [[Literature/WutheringHeights '''Heathcliff''' and '''Catherine Earnshaw''']] or [[Literature/{{Worm}} '''Amy Dallon''' and]][[Literature/{{Ward}} '''Victoria Dallon'''?]]

* According to [[https://www.tumblr.com/shakertwelve/724022518256648192/and-like-obviously-this-is-a-wildbow-book-so this blog:]] a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, conventionally organized, socially powerful but internally deeply dysfunctional family has a biological daughter who is conventionally beautiful and feminine. The family adopts a child and the adopted child grows close to the biological daughter because she is the only one who does not treat them like an outsider, but the adoptive child is unable to escape their physical contrast to the daughter's beauty and femininity no matter how emotionally close they grow. The adoptive child develops a [[NotBloodSiblings romantic fixation]] with the family's daughter, who is unattainable due to her relationship with a man who more properly "belongs" in her social world, so the adoptive child turns bitter and destructive (from the perspective of everyone else involved "giving in" to their inherently uncivilized birth nature) and leaves when it becomes clear that there's no place for them in the house anymore, if there ever was at all. Is this [[Literature/WutheringHeights Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw]] or [[Literature/{{Worm}} Amy and]][[Literature/{{Ward}} Victoria Dallon?]]

'''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward and Bella]]''' or '''[[{{LightNovel/Durarara}} Celty and Shinra]]'''?

* This cast consists of an Adorkable, [[CuteBookworm studious]] female protagonist, and her snarky, yet fiercely loyal sidekick. 2 of the other members are a Hot-Blooded character with traces of light-blue on them, and their longtime yellow friend, who is kind, loving and [[ShrinkingViolet soft-spoken]]. Rounding out the group is a high maintenance [[SuperOCD OCD]] character, a stetson-toting southern belle, and a [[GenkiGirl happy-go-lucky]] CloudCuckoolander. All of them are generally nice people, [[BewareTheNiceOnes but know when to get serious]] [[LetsGetDangerous when the chips are down,]] and fight with a [[ThePowerOfFriendship power reinforced by bonds]]. Is this the cast of '''Manga/SoulEater''', or the '''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Mane 6?]]'''

* A young man with green eyes and dark clothing is one of the most competent people in his field, but doesn't enjoy fame and would rather keep a low profile and a quiet life. He is highly intelligent, skilled with technology and so reserved that many people don't think very highly of his personality, but he doesn't let that get in the way of his work. He is later revealed to have [[spoiler:been orphaned at a very young age and doesn't have any familial relations left in the present day.]] While he starts off distant and indifferent toward social bonds, he meets a few others throughout the plot of his story and slowly begins to warm up to them, and often shows his care for others in ways that many people may not recognize immediately. '''[[Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS Yusaku Fujiki]]''', or [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Alhaitham]]'''?

* Because of an eccentric elderly figure he was supposed to trust, a male teenager is affected by a fantastic event, which causes him to be put through various unsettling situations, including being forcibly kissed by someone he's absolutely revulsed of being kissed by. He also has to face a school bully that harasses someone he has to protect, is pursued by a female character he wants to ged rid of, is involved in matchmaking, and has to disguise himself and to take an alias at least once. For a bit of trivia, he has the same French voice actor as Roger Rabbit. '''[[Film/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]]''' or '''[[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]]'''?

* A RichIdiotWithNoDayJob becomes a vigilante SuperHero, comes up with a gimmick and emblem designed to strike fear in his enemies whom he believes are "superstitious" and easily scared, and falls in love with [[DatingCatwoman a woman who is initially part of the enemy force he has made it his duty to fight against]], forcing him to [[CelibateHero subdue his feelings and hide behind a mask of indifference]].\\

* These two characters were once very close, until one day they have a fight involving a father figure that shatters their bond and leaves them on sour terms in the present. One of them is heavily associated with the color red and fire and has authority issues, while the other is associated with blue and water/ice and is a super-intelligent {{Troll}} who enjoys teasing the other. In spite of their resentment, the two still clearly care for each other in their own ways and have a lot of trouble communicating their regrets toward one another. '''[[Anime/K Misaki Yata and Saruhiko Fushimi]]''', or '''[[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Kaeya Alberich and Diluc Ragnvindr]]'''?

* A young man has a high-ranking position in his country's military force and is renowned for his intelligence and tactics. While he's outwardly charismatic and a smooth talker, this is just a front he puts up to hide how much he's hurting from both his past experiences and his fear of discrimination in the present. He has a tan complexion, wears a singular earring, and has an accessory that adds flair to his uniform (like a cape or a sash). It's later revealed that he wasn't born in the nation he's residing in, and if anyone else found out, it would spell trouble for him since his birthplace isn't on good terms with his current nation. He also frequently interacts with a rich heir who is brooding and troubled. Is this [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Kaeya Alberich]], or [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Claude von Riegan?]]

'''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Nightmare Moon]]''' or '''[[Wiki/SCPFoundation He-Who-Made-Dark]]'''? (look up SCP-435)

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjrN1X89uis This video]] points out similarities between [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Toy Story's]] Woody and [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU's]] Captain America.

* A man who works for an organization of futuristic do-gooders in a signature set of armor, has a distinct catch phrase, [[spoiler:and gets a severe case of TomatoInTheMirror by finding out he's actually artificially created]]. Are we talking about [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] or [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}} Paladin Danse]]?

* A non-human entity goads the HeroicMime human [[AmbiguouslyHuman (?)]] protagonist into [[KillEmAll killing everyone]], ''especially'' the supporting cast, in a bid to gain immense amounts of power together, with the {{Big Good}}(s) serving as the final line of defense for their respective civilizations, before finally moving on to a new world. Said entity also has the power to [[PeoplePuppet manipulate the host's body]] and the human side of the pair can be brought back to life via an in-universe mechanism should they suffer defeat. The player will most likely [[PlayerPunch feel like a horrible bastard]] for going along with their goals. Are we talking about '''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse Dagda and Nanashi]]''' or '''[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Chara and Frisk]]'''?

* These two leaders live in a world of [[BlackAndWhiteMorality moral absolutes]] and racist undertones and will lead their chosen nations against a veritable tyrant. But first, they need to get their swords fixed.\\
'''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn]]''' and '''[[Literature/{{Redwall}} Martin]]'''; as expressed by Webcomic/{{XKCD}} [[http://xkcd.com/370/ here.]]
* She's a character from an ultra-successful sci-fi show that reached mainstream recognition. She's a hot red-headed medical doctor who has bucketloads of {{UST}} with her colleague. She's wears a badge, a weapon, and is prone to get seriously injured in her line of work. She's a single mother and her child displays prodigious tendencies. Her boss is bald and awesome, she has a posse of geeky and brilliant males at her disposal, and her close female friend is a brunette psychic. Both she and her love interest have been abducted by aliens.\\
'''Beverly Crusher''' of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' or '''Dana Scully''' of ''Series/TheXFiles''? The picture on this page lists part of it; more similarities are to be found in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFXkMm7QmDg&list=UUSHYiySr4TRLa1KcV0x3o-w this video]].
* This male character is small, cute, non-human sidekick in a beloved Disney animated feature. Unlike some other Disney sidekicks, he not only provides comic relief, but gives good advice to the naive protagonist and serves as his/her conscience. The protagonist tends to ignore him, but though this upsets him, he (usually) stays loyal to him/her anyway. He is an excellent singer/musician and sings possibly the most famous song from the movie. The protagonist he tries to help is also non-human (though a different species than he is), but wants to become human, and finally does in the end; (s)he also has big blue eyes, and is the child of a single father, whom (s)he leaves behind for a while, but eventually reunites with. An important part of their adventures takes place under the sea.\\
'''[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Sebastian]]'''? (inspired by [[http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/11/08/sebastian-is-the-jiminy-of-the-little-mermaid/?cmp=SMC%7Cblgomd%7COMDNovember%7CFB%7CSebastian-LittleMermaid%7CInHouse%7C111913%7C%7C%7Cesocialmedia%7C%7C%7C this link]])
* A powerful man who once was a morally superior good guy gets seduced by a greater evil power. He becomes very evil himself, even though some doubt it has happened. He leads part of a huge army and is the public face for the larger evil that is widely feared but stays hidden for most of the time. In the end he inevitably meets his downfall by betrayal. Also, the man is played by Creator/ChristopherLee.\\
Is this man '''[[Franchise/StarWars Count Dooku]]''' or '''[[Literature/LordOfTheRings Saruman the White]]'''? (Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0412.html breaks it down]].)
* This character is an alien from a militaristic culture who is (or is commonly thought as) short for his species. He has [[NoIndoorVoice no indoor voice]] and thinks of himself as the leader of everything. He views a nerdy human boy with glasses and a blue shirt as his rival, though the feeling may or may not be mutual. The ruler of the alien's species are taller than the rest of their kind and is mostly seen in silhouette. This alien could be '''[[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Karkat Vantas]]''' if the rivalry with the human boy is not mutual, or '''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]]''' if it is, [[http://arsonsara.tumblr.com/post/73702551452/read-this-and-tell-me-there-arent-any according to this blog.]]
* The partner to the main protagonist (and the one [[FanPreferredCouple most often]] paired with them in fan ships) this character favors water/ice themed attacks and is remarkably skilled. Having had a difficult childhood due to constant attacks from family enemies, she can be bossy at times, and has to come to terms with her grudge against the loner of the main group of heroes.\\
'''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Weiss]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Katara]]'''? (Detailed in [[http://shauncochran.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-Rwby-Comparisson-466654821 this picture]])
* They both are HotBlooded loners, prone to angst, yelling a lot, acting like jerks to their friends and [[LeeroyJenkins taking enemies head on without thinking]], who fight against their own brothers. As VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment pointed out, '''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]]''' and '''Anime/TekkamanBlade''' have surprisingly lot in common.
* The drabble series ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1651187?view_full_work=true Runts]]'' portrays [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Rinoa Heartilly]] as [[ComicBook/XMen Dark Phoenix]]. Given that both are fiercely passionate activists with incredible magic talent, it's not hard to see why.
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick, on '''[[{{WesternAnimation/Gargoyles}} Demona]]''' and '''ComicBook/{{Mystique}}''' (in her [[http://chezapocalypse.com/episodes/nostalgia-chick-top-11-villainesses/ Top 11 Villainesses]] list): "Here we have yet another [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation blue-skinned]] [[EvilRedhead ginger]] who's motivated by {{Revenge}} and [[KillAllHumans bigotry against humans]]. Seems to be a thing." '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]],''' '''[[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]]''' and '''[[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]''' are also on the list, leading her to note "skins hued of cool colors seem to be optimal for evil ladies."

* A sapient monkey who was given physical form by the wind and possesses godlike powers- including shapeshifting, NotQuiteFlight, and SuperStrength- which he uses to assist the heroes. The scholar Hera Walker wrote [[http://sino-platonic.org/complete/spp081_monkey_sun_wukong.pdf an essay]] comparing '''[[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]]''' with '''[[Literature/TheRamayana Hanuman]]'''.
* A fearful yet determined SurvivalHorror heroine who journeys through an incredibly elaborate house while coming to terms with past trauma (most notably, the crash that killed her parents). Though not very combat-capable, she fends off her gun-wielding StalkerWithACrush with the help of a pet dog- a pale-furred stray she befriends after saving him from danger. [[http://bocsart.tumblr.com/post/100738370366 Becca Jones]] drew a series of fanart (titled "The Tragic Female Protagonists With Dogs Club") that compared '''[[VideoGame/HauntingGround Fiona]]''' with '''[[VideoGame/RuleOfRose Jennifer]]'''.
* A solar-themed god of fire (and their {{Determinator}} Chosen One) jointly rule a country of magic wielders who, centuries ago, declared war on adjoining lands in the name of "righteousness". Now this god works to erase the bigotry and government corruption rampant in his country. The fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7205551/1/Kindred-Fires Kindred Fires]]'' compares '''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Agni]]''' with '''[[Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar Vkandis]]'''.
* A cynical loner who wears all black, always carries a weapon on his person, and is prone to severe mood swings (often expressed through crying while punching a wall). As a result of feeling hurt and abandoned by a parental figure, he hates established institutions and wants to create a "new world order". To accomplish this, he goes on a killing spree, including murdering several of his classmates and attempting to burn down his school, all the while thinking he's benefiting the greater societal good. Along the way he becomes creepily obsessed with the female protagonist, asking her to join him in his killing spree; she at first tries to turn him back to the side of good before realizing that he cannot be saved, then tries to kill him. As compared by ''[[http://ew.com/movies/2017/12/21/who-said-it-kylo-ren-or-j-d-from-heathers/ Entertainment Weekly]]'', is this man '''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Kylo]] [[Film/TheLastJedi Ren]]''' or '''[[Film/{{Heathers}} Jason "JD" Dean]]'''?
* [[https://aminoapps.com/c/rwby/page/blog/the-similarities-between-rwby-and-mlp-fim-an-analysis-read-the-post-before-commenting/Z664_jRMIBueRgJxWVxQePD0LobYZD25Nbn This post]] talks about the similarities between the main characters of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''.
* An extraordinarily gifted and decidedly blue character lives among friends and family but struggles to control their powers, then, as the public turns against them after becoming terrified of the danger they pose, they flee into a desolate wasteland and magic up an elegant, transparent fairytale castle. Afterwards, the person closest to them risks their life to convince them back to the world. That's how [[http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/frozen/feature/a788700/frozen-inspired-by-watchmen/ one blog]] describes both '''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]]''' and '''[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]]'''.
* In a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Uslan Michael Uslan]], the first professor to teach a college course on comics, got his course accredited by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDgCgcY1TA making one of these comparisons]]:
--> "The dean let me speak for about two minutes before he cut me off and said, Mr. Uslan, stop. I read comic books when I was a kid. I read every issue of Superman I could get my hands on. All comic books are are cheap entertainment for children. Nothing more, nothing less, and I reject your theory.
--> I said to the dean, dean, may I ask you two questions?
--> He said, ask me anything you want.
--> I said, so could you just very, very briefly give me a synopsis of the story of Moses?
--> Well, he folded his arms, sat back in his chair and said to me, Mr. Uslan, I don't know what game you're playing here, but I'll play this with you. The Hebrew people were being persecuted, their firstborn were being slain. A Hebrew couple placed their infant son in a little wicker basket and sent him down the River Nile. There he was discovered by an Egyptian family who raised him as their own son. When he grew up and learned of his true heritage, he became a great hero to his people by--
--> I said, Dean, thank you. Stop. That was great. By any chance, do you remember the origin of Superman?
--> He said, of course. The planet Krypton was about to blow up. A scientist and his wife placed their infant son in a little rocket ship and sent him to Earth. There he was discovered by the Kents, who raised him as their own son. When he grew up--And with that he stopped, stared at me for what I swear to you was an eternity, and said, Mr. Uslan, your course is accredited. And that was how this whole thing started."
* Creator/TeamFourStar made a comparison is [[https://youtu.be/JQbV_ZBxeFc?t=2m14s this video]]: He's an aimless hero that always has a ferocious appetite, and when he actually does get committed to something [[BewareTheSillyOnes he fucks it up a million-fold]]. Also, he's reliant on abilities he copied from other people. They were comparing '''Franchise/{{Kirby}}''' to '''[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]]'''.
* Kaiju blog Monsters Conquer the World makes a comparison in [[https://monstersconquertheworld.com/2018/03/14/who-ya-gonna-call-the-science-patrol/ this post]] between the '''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}''' and the '''[[Series/{{Ultraman}} Science Patrol]]'''.
-->"They are [[BadassCrew plucky, lovable nerds]] that cruise around in a (potentially inappropriate for the job) [[CoolCar vintage car decked out with their logo]], wear iconic jumpsuits, utilize wacky new tech they invent on the fly, and shoot radical but insanely dangerous lightning-lasers at freaky-ass supernatural monsters in a modern setting. Said supernatural monsters include man-sized undead horrors AND [[{{Kaiju}} skyscraper-sized demigods]]. Their HQ features a fireman’s pole. They have [[EarWorm an awesomely catchy/singable theme song]]."
* A short blond boy and a cute child who possesses a giant suit of armor go on a quest to get the latter's body back. '''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Ed and Al]]''', or '''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Link and Zelda]]'''? Pointed out by [[https://www.deviantart.com/wonchop/art/FMA-vs-Spirit-Tracks-143087486 this fanart]], [[https://www.deviantart.com/buddha-cat/art/Fullmetal-Spirit-Tracks-207491725 among]] [[https://www.deviantart.com/drkzlave/art/Spirit-Tracks-Alchemist-563668146 others]].

* This sadistic sociopath is the head at an island where a group of quirky teenagers have been trapped on by them. They enjoy causing pain and despair to said teenagers in order to televise their suffering worldwide. Are they '''[[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Monokuma]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Chris McLean]]'''? [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1329674-danganronpa Pointed out here.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjrN1X89uis This video]] points out similarities between [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Toy Story's]] Woody and [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU's]] Captain America.

* [[WebVideo/MisterPlinkettReviews Mr. Plinkett]] from WebVideo/RedLetterMedia, in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYWAHuFbLoc review]] of Film/RevengeOfTheSith, compared '''[[Franchise/StarWars Anakin Skywalker]]''' in the prequels to '''[[Film/CitizenKane Charles Foster Kane]]''':
-->"So you got a boy who's [[YouCantGoHomeAgain taken from his home]] and [[MommasBoy his mother]] at a young age, and away from a bad environment. Eventually, he becomes an idealistic young man with a set of principles...Then, slowly, (he) is consumed and ultimately destroyed by [[ItsAllAboutMe (his) arrogance and lust for power and control]], and a fear of losing the ones that (he) love(s). A [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen fall from grace]], if you will."

* This [[https://twitter.com/StevenScrivello/status/1389296161081729025 Twitter post]] points out the similarities between Film/AustinPowers and Film/{{Gamera}}.
--> - Frozen by an ancient civilisation\\
- Reawakened in the ‘90s\\
- Powered by a mysterious natural energy (a four-letter word starting with M)\\
- Loses life energy mid-trilogy\\
- Shares an origin with their nemesis\\
- Trilogy masterpieces\\
- Represented by a symbol pendant
* The Redditor [[https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/comments/8sncev/clan_of_the_cave_bear_by_jane_auel/ lontanadascienza]] describes [[Literature/EarthsChildren Ayla]], a young woman cast out of her primeval tribe for being different, who learns how to double-fire a sling and is the first person ever to tame and ride a mount. They question whether she is related to [[VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn Aloy]].

* Despite being a principal character in the story, this teenage boy takes the EmoTeen stereotype and moves it UpToEleven -- he seems to perpetually shift between angsty brooding and social awkwardness. To his credit, he can also be a {{Determinator}}, and his [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]] moments are quite heartwarming. His personality to a large extent originated because of his father, a ManipulativeBastard who sent him away from the family as a young child for not being good enough -- and only later took him back when it seemed his son had something to offer him. (His mother loved him, but she disappeared from her son's life at an early age.) Luckily, he has an older adult in his life who serves as a cross between a guardian and a TricksterMentor, trying to get him to lighten up and relax while also take his duties seriously. His peer group includes two girls of about his age, one who is contemptuous, bitchy, and often mean to him ([[JerkassWoobie although this behavior is a front to hide her own insecurities]], which [[spoiler: later bring her to the point of insanity]]), and another one who is [[SugarAndIcePersonality unemotional and stoic]]. The character in question has romantic tension with one of these females (including an awkward kiss scene), and is related to the other one ([[IncestSubtext which hasn't prevented some fans from shipping them anyway]]). In the end, the boy is forced to face up to the expectations others have placed on him, and realize that maturity means choosing his own path.\\

'''Liquid and Solid Snake''' of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', or '''Jules and Vincent''' from ''Film/{{Twins}}''?

* A idealistic young man with a strong moral compass obtains god-like abilities, and decides to use them to make the world a better place by stopping criminals. He is quickly given a nickname by the press, and there is much speculation about the true identity of this great crusader for justice. Eventually, he comes to the attention of a [[TheChessmaster calculating]] man whose first and last initials are both 'L', and the two of them become archnemeses, with a good bit of FoeYay.\\

* A red-clad sword-wielding ChaoticGood badass hero. A GlassCannon fighter (Possibly) with a SwissArmyWeapon. He's affiliated with a LaResistance who goes against an Utopia-like, but actually corrupted [[TheEmpire Empire]]. He's also a OneManArmy who successfully makes TheEmpire having headaches, and thus, is hunted by them. Like the above, while he is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold certainly good-hearted, he acts cold,]] [[PerpetualFrowner perpetually frowns]] and [[GoodIsNotNice doesn't hesitate to]] ShootTheDog. It's hinted that he's destined to [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt bring out world destruction]], but he ultimately [[ScrewDestiny choosess to be]] [[AntiAntiChrist the one who bring world peace]]. Considered a [[TheWoobie Woobie]], but that will [[IronWoobie never slow him down.]] His enemies include an [[AnIcePerson ice-powered]] HeroAntagonist who is [[FoeYay too interested to take him down]], and a BigBad who is somewhat AxCrazy. His ending isn't very good, to say the least.\\

* A [[PrincessClassic Princess]] that is a [[CombatMedic healing]] [[ArcherArchetype Archer]] that is [[spoiler: AdoptedIntoRoyalty]]. Is this [[VideoGame/TalesofTheAbyss Natalia]] or [[WebAnimation/GwainSaga Ami]]?

* She's a character from an ultra-successful sci-fi show that reached mainstream recognition. She's a hot red-headed medical doctor who has bucketloads of {{UST}} with her colleague. She's wears a badge, a weapon, and is prone to get seriously injured in her line of work. She's a single mother and her child displays prodigious tendencies. Her boss is [[BaldOfAwesome bald and awesome]], she has a posse of geeky and brilliant males at her disposal, and her close female friend is a brunette psychic. Both she and her love interest have been abducted by aliens.\\

* An [[SinisterMinister evil religious fanatic]] treats their child horribly, partly due to believing them to be some kind of demon. They forbid them from [[FunHatingVillain having any fun, thinking it's sinful,]] and get furious when they want to go to a social event, as well as [[KnightTemplar thinking anyone who disagrees with them is evil and is going to Hell.]] Is this [[Literature/{{Carrie}} Margaret White]] or [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Claude Frollo?]]

* During a speculative ''WebVideo/WhatIfTheyWereInSmash'' moveset video for [[VideoGame/MegaManX Zero]], [[https://youtu.be/5ACi-YhxVpw?t=484 upon the subject]] of ''[=MvC3=]'' being referenced twice in a row for his series, BJ remarks that Zero is another [[RedIsHeroic red-colored]], sword and gun wielding, [[Creator/Capcom]] owned character, much like another he covered before in an episode, being [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]]. Before he completely [[TemptingFate dismisses the thought as a mere coincidence]] does the footage suddenly cut to both Zero and Dante's respective moments of love-lost {{Angst}}. The sudden revelation left BJ shook enough to leave his recording on hold for a short while.
