Trolls Band Together:

• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Branch is able to get his three brothers back to their senses during an argument when he reminds them to think about Floyd.
• Heartwarming: Despite making it clear the first time to John Dory that he preferred Bruce instead of Spruce, he didn't mind that his older brother still called him by his birth name instead of his nickname.
• Heel Realization:
  • John Dory, Bruce and Clay realize that their selfish actions and behavior not only hurt Branch but tore their family apart.
    • John Dory is hit by this trope the most as he realizes that his obsession with control and perfection deeply hurt his brothers.
• Stunned Silence: Branch is in stunned silence when John Dory unintentionally hurt his feelings.

Ride.Universal Studios:

• The Artifact: Toon Lagoon has become regarded as increasingly outdated, as it is based on cartoons, while, while popular-ish at the time of the land's opening, have since fallen out of relevance with modern audiences (some as early as the early-to-mid 2000s), such as The Rocky And Bullwinkle Show, Heathcliff, Blondie (1930), and Flash Gordon, many of which are likely to be more familiar to older generations than the park's target demographic. The only cartoon represented in the land that remains relevant today is that of Popeye, who is still active and well known, but even he is no longer as popular as he once was. Despite this, the land still stands today.

Thanks

@ Attack of the Clones

• He's Just Hiding: Given the number of cool briefly seen or background Jedi during the battle scene and the confirmation that there were unseen survivors who escaped through the tunnels in both Canon and Legends, it’s nice imagining characters like the various background Jedi whose kicks and Dual Wielding stand out during Freeze Frame Bonuses and the duo who toss spare lightsabers to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon survive offscreen.

@ Rushmore

• The opening scene where Max solves an impossible math problem without a sweat.

• Escaped Animal Rampage: Downplayed, but most books have a scene where at least one animal gets loose (often due to the machinations of a villain) and causes chaos, although the animals tend to be just as scared as the humans are and far more easily calmed down, and rarely endanger anyone except while feeling trapped.

@ Big Fish in a Bigger Ocean

• John Putnam Thatcher: In Going for the Gold, Olympic downhill skier Dick Noyes may be capable of some Big Damn Heroes during a Race Against the Clock, but, while better than most skiers in the world, he is also the second slowest downhill skier (at least in non-emergency situations) in his event and has no illusions about this.

@ Cold Case

• In the prologue of "Stealing Home," Cuban rafter and baseball star Gonzalo Luque dodges past some Coast Guard personnel out to stop his group from wading to dry land and asylum while imagining himself stealing home on the baseball field.
• In "The Long Blue Line," when a misogynistic fellow cadet uses a ceremonial sword to threaten Kate Butler in the shower and moves it toward her breast, she grabs the blade in her fist, jerks it away, and holds it there for several seconds while shooting a Death Glare at her assailant. Part 2, Into the Blue, reveals that Kate sought out a pugil stick duel with him shortly afterward and beat him despite his role as the school champion.

@ Cold Case

• In "Stealing Home":
  • Gonzalo's widow Piedad's confidence that her husband wasn't up to no good when he was killed in the Badlands isn't just spousal love and trust but the knowledge that he was going to a meeting with a dangerous guy whom she is afraid of on their family's behalf shortly before dying.
  • The flashback where Gonzalo shows his dazed cousin Juan around the luxurious new apartment he got with his baseball earnings takes on a new light after the reveal about Juan's past. Gonzalo isn't just flaunting his new wealth and/or being generous to a less fortunate relative; he's giving Juan a demonstration of the lifestyle that he thinks Juan will be able to afford and enjoy himself in short order due to being an even better ballplayer than Gonzalo is. Juan's overwhelmed reaction is sadness and maybe just a little jealousy as he realizes that (due to his secret Career-Ending Injury) Gonzalo is wrong about that being his future as well.
• In "The Crossing":
  • Geoffery Manning is still working for a Gibbs Family-owned business decades after the murder and says that they appreciate loyalty. It later becomes clear that he personally knows the Gibbs', and the loyalty he is being rewarded for isn't just for being a regular longtime employee but for being the son of their butler, a childhood playmate of at least one younger Gibbs, and safeguarding their personal happiness as well as their business interests.
  • The scene where Grace drunkenly flirts with someone in the ballroom isn't her being unfaithful to a loving husband back home but instead might be the one time she briefly comes close to giving up her Happy Marriage Charade and moving on from pining over the husband who deserted her (whether deliberately or only in a dazed and confused state as she later claims).

• Even among the many sad Accidental Murders in the show, the one in "Stealing Home" stands out; the killer strikes Gonzalo, the victim, in the chest with a baseball bat in a split second of anger but never wanted or intended to kill or seriously hurt him. It happens so fast that it takes a couple of seconds for him to even realize Gonzalo is seriously hurt, at which point he frantically tries to get Gonzalo medical attention before he dies.

@ Reluctant Fanservice Girl

• Intermedio: Gen spends half of the film wearing a shirt that's short enough for the occasional Underboobs shot and plenty of more shots of her lower back and thong, but this is only because she has to tear up the bottom half of her long and relatively conservative shirt to make bandages for her boyfriend after his fingers are severed.

@ Cold Case

• Given how much of "Into the Blue" is All Just a Dream, but the clues and culprits in the dream are real, were lots of events accurate or just in Lilly's head? Were Ryan's motive for killing Kate, suicide attempt, confession, and even his actual status as the killer (although he is seen being arrested at the end) real? Was Lawrence actually the mysterious cadet who threatened Kate in the shower^note  Lilly had identified him as a suspect but hadn't singled him out? Did Hank Butler's failure to reconcile with Kate during their last meeting and subsequent remorse ever happen. Was , James's crush on Kate and Kate eventually being accepted enough to hang out with the others real? Are Moe Kitchener's rampant misogynistic tendencies (the last of which shapes a lot of his interactions with Lilly in Season 7), willingness to kill a scapegoat, and family background true to his actual self? The bits with Hank and Kitchener in particular feel believable given their later actions, but could have also easily been Lilly projecting about her own Daddy Issues and the misogyny she faced as a rookie detective.

@ Buffyverse: Willow Rosenberg

• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Her hairstyle and role as a brainy, relatively shy, and conservatively dressed friend of Buffy's are reminiscent of Cassandra, a Sacrificial Lamb friend of Buffy's Girl Posse (partially because she helps them with their homework according to the Novelization) in the original movie.

Thanks Arvine

Jellystone!

Elektra's friend group

• Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed. Charlie is the Monster of the Week in his original appearance but only acts malevolent because he had been sabotaged. The Charlie in this series is already a friendly robot from the start, much like Charlie the Second.
• Adaptation Personality Change: Unlike his original appearance, in which he is a simple robot without emotions or even the ability to speak, Charlie in this series acts more like a human.

One Piece: Donquixote Doflamingo

• Evil Power Vacuum: Per his statement, his defeat would incite a power struggle among the pirates, Marines, and Revolutionary Army to control the New World. Doflamingo, who had the most authority and influence in the black market underworld, bore the brunt of his downfall. This loss impacted all his business dealings, and the Revolutionaries emerged victorious in several wars in kingdoms that purchased weapons from him. Furthermore, the pirates who depended on him to acquire weapons and Devil Fruits were stranded without any means of recovering their goods or money. Among them, the most significant buyer was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, who regularly purchased substantial quantities of Artificial Devil Fruits called SMILEs from Doflamingo to bolster his troops. While being taken to Impel Down, Doflamingo acknowledged that he kept all the "monsters" in check and that his absence would soon trigger the greatest war for supremacy of the sea. Only time will tell if his prophecy comes to fruition.

Uncrushing Defeat!

Ash is feeling down after his devastating defeat against Paul. It's crucial for him to figure out what he can take away from this experience and how he can apply it to grow and progress. What key lessons can he learn from this loss, and how can he use them to move forward?

God of War Series – Major Supporting Characters

Sindri

• Ambiguous Situation: Could it be possible that Sindri didn't seek the Dwarves' aid for Ragnarok? Or was it because he was an outcast, primarily due to his improper resurrection of Brok, and his pleas went unheard? Perhaps, given the circumstances, he had no choice but to act in their stead.

Some tropes add for the Utawarerumono Lost Flag page

• Mascot Villain: Orishiro, the main antagonist of the story has been featured in various promotional materials more so than the main protagonists.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Minagi is the princess of Karaza, this doesn't stop her from traveling with Akuta party and helps solve various problems across the country.

Utawarerumono Lost Flag

Thanks you both @ Clare and @ Arivne!

Hated by All

• Urusei Yatsura: Ataru Moroboshi is a dumb pervert whose selfishness and hitting on girls have made him many enemies in the series, who often punish him with physical violence, sarcastic insults, or utter humiliation. Even his own parents don't like him. Although Lum loves him, she doesn't like it when he tries to cheat on her.

Some addition's I'd like to add for

Horizon Zero Dawn - Far Zenith

In General section

• Culture Blind: Given how misguided faith in technology while not realizing that in and of itself is a design flaw that could lead to devastating results by one act of catastrophic incompetence something which precisely happened twice with these guys. One would think Far Zenith wouldn't tamper with digital immortality without any necessary safeguards or, at least, a backup plan. You'd be very, very wrong on both counts.
• Dirty Coward: What the Zeniths are beneath their misbegotten posturing as Almighty Idiot's who cannot fight their way out of terse situations (save Erik to an extent), much less adapt to a pretty irregular turn of events that demand forward-thinking spontaneity when recent developments call for it. The most glaring example is when Aloy and Sylens perfect a way to permanently level the playing field by shorting out their protective Aegis mantels. Many of the remaining Zeniths fly off to the escape ship instead of taking their chances against the enemy forces in the natives. Something also made extant by their entire exodus from when they left a dying world behind to save their rotten hides while betraying and sabotaging everyone around them, including their most faithful, to the point in time when the colony on Sirius imploded as a result of catastrophic incompetence on their part. They didn't stand, they didn't fight, they didn't even so much as grow a sense of spine. They just ran and hid for their own selfish little lives.
  • This doubles as a Break the Haughty moment, showing that not only are they far from invincible like the Zeniths make themselves out to be, but they quickly ditch the air of arrogance when things don't go their way. One of whom had a personal breakdown when said "vermin," as she called them, dissipated her force-field before getting Impaled with Extreme Prejudice.
• Hypocrite: The reason why Far Zenith excluded Ted Ferro from their little space opera tour ended up being they didn't consider him trustworthy enough due to how far gone he was, and given that Elisabeth Sobek practically had a tight hold on his reins every step of the way. Given that these rich pricks aren't anyone to talk to in the reliability department you can ask Tilde Simmons and Walter Laundra on that part, it's made all the more redundant given that it wasn't even for a personal reason, such as hating him for rendering humanity extinct for a fast buck. In the end, the Zeniths somehow managed to one-up their fellow money grubber in the accidentally blow up the world and themselves along with it department; by creating a nightmarish amalgamation of everything that sucks about their character and personas, in the form of a hostile super program which went gunning after their asses with the intent of burning their world which Far Zenoth originated from out of existence for sequestering it. These uber-spoiled rich shits slighted Ferro as an unreliably complete idiot (and weren't wrong for doing so), yet they proved 20x stupider and more bafflingly arrogant than he ever was. Primarily, when you draw up a scale of messing up royally between them, Ted only scoured Earth clean of all life within less than a generation due to bugs in the system. The Zenith's A.I. doppelganger snafu is guaranteed to obliterate the world they left behind to save their rotten hides twice over.
• Didn't Think This Through: Far Zenith elevated Lethally Stupid into an art form on so many levels that it's not funny. A millennium of being made to remember their mistakes did nothing to broaden their horizons and make them any wiser than they were when attempting to save themselves at the expense of their former homeworld.
  • Gravely underestimating a near-perfected replicant of their former adversary, Elisabet Sobeck, thinking some primitive using spears & pointy sticks wasn't a threat to them nor their more significant plans in the long run.
  • Repeating, if not improving upon, prior mistakes that led to destroying all life on Earth within their breakaway civilization. And through an attempt at digitized eternal life going as horribly wrong as it did no less.
  • They refuse to learn from past mistakes and attempt to form proper alliances between themselves (figuratively and literally) and amongst the resurgent humanity of the reformed Earth to get what they need instead of sleazing their way towards it.
  • Far Zenith had what amounts to an eternity to improve their fantastical technological and engineering designs, far surpassing almost anything found on Earth in the current era. Yet all they did was squander it, indulging in every selfishly perverse indulgence on a utopian bastion for The Beautiful Elite.
  • A lack of strategic or patient thinking, coupled with supreme general arrogance, shows what abysmal decision-making skills they'd garnered over a thousand years hopped up on living entitled, decadent lifestyles—for example, their attempt to kill Aloy without proper situational assessment.
  • Being faced with the mirror image of all their faults, shortcomings, existential hubris, and reviled character defects did nothing to wisen them of how revolting as people they are, still clinging on to everything that sucks about themselves right up to their ruination.
  • Living lives of self-fabricated lies only made them incredibly ill-prepared for the dangers of traversing an old haunt, now home to two unstoppable geniuses, they long since left behind. Their inflated egotism ended up being their undoing on that front.
• Karmic Butt-Monkey: This is what the Far Zenith collective measures up to. See below for more significant details. But none of them are more deserving of this title than the deserter Walter Landra. He ruined his married life by creating the very scenario believed initially to be happening behind the scenes. As if his own cyberized assistant manager's dumping him flat isn't enough of a kick because he was too much of an insufferable JerkAss.
• Laser-Guided Karma: In many ways, the Zeniths had been dealt far more severely for their litany of mistakes than even Ted Farro ever was. Being screwed over by Zero Dawn's resident hacker, Travis Tate, with some bad malware for their attempt at stealing the Gaia A.I. for their ends. Creating a festering chamberpot of artificial intelligence based on their suckiness, which inevitably destroyed the supersecret space society they made for themselves with no intention of sharing with the rest of dying humanity when they left the world for dead. Returning to Earth only to be massacred by the same resurgent humanity they'd all written off as non-entities because they repeatedly underestimated their resourcefulness and creativity, all for the intent of leaving said world in the path of their own dastardized creation while strip-mining it for the same thing they tried to possess a 1000 years prior in an attempt to save themselves, AGAIN.
• Pride Before a Fall: The very signpost of failures that the Zenith's have built themselves around. Their entitled apathetic tendencies got them all screwed over by the very people they underestimated twice, past and present. The narcissistic carelessness coupled with the combined megalomanic callous selfishness made virtually manifest later on in their waste of lives displayed by its membership. Destroyed their hedonistic colony paradise, leading them right back into a kill box of their creation on the planet they left behind. Senselessly basking in their pseudo-divinity, endlessly flaunting it in the faces of one whom they really shouldn't have crossed, only served to hasten their well-earned end to life at the hands of a renewed humanity found on Earth they betrayed. Needless to say, for these guys, it was a fitting demise.
• Upper-Class Twit: What does the consortium of Far Zenith boil down to in the end other than this? Presuming there is a physical representation of defining not clever enough by half, these guys would be it. Even the sad undertone of Tilde's recollection detailing what her cohort's lifestyle was like before Sirius ended up destroyed pretty much sells, albeit underscoring just how many squandered opportunities they racked up with their overindulgent procrastination in the long haul. Despite all of their advancements in technological assault and protections, having veritably cracked the code on biological immortality, made themselves nigh-unstoppable in a fight or in general, even creating what can only be presumed to be Hard Light interactive holo-imaging to enact their debauched sleaze fantasies. Far Zenith was failing when it came to being a credible existential threat to anybody, having quickly been overshadowed by the looming threat of their inadvertent creation of Nemesis when Tilde revealed its existence near the end. Essentially, showing the Zenith order to be a pack of yellow-bellied has-beens who have been running scared from a poisonous soup of their toxic narcissism and selfishness made electronically manifest this whole time. Even towards the climax of the story, they ended up being outclassed by the very non-entities they'd written off as disposable pests due to two of whom being more innovative than a pack of The Upper Crass who only knew how to pay actually intelligent people to invent their wonders for them.
• Rich Idiot With No Day Job: Mean-spirited, entitled on top of being stupid to a tee, with nothing better to do than indulge in their latest depravities. These traits summarize what Far Zenith had been founded and built around from the beginning. The only reason they conceived of the Sirius colony was so they could ditch their dying world and bask in their prior glories in peace. That's all.

Does anyone know any good spellchecker extensions for PC?

Climax Boss

• Fire Emblem:
  • Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light: Gharnef, the mastermind behind the War of Shadows, is fought in Thabes at the end of the game. Once you beat him, you get Falchion and unlock the two-part endgame.
  • Fire Emblem Gaiden: Desaix and Grieth are the two most prominent antagonists during the first half of the story. After their defeat, Princess Anthiese (AKA Celica) takes back the throne of Zofia from the villains.
  • Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem: Emperor Hardin is the primary antagonist for most of the game, but the real main antagonist is revealed after Hardin's demise.
