All of the sentences need punctuation at the end. Almost all are standard sentences and end with a period.

The last one ("Why does the show we're watching have so many Magical Girls") is a question and ends with a question mark (?).

• "Let's add a Magical Girl to make our show more popular.
• "That girl will probably transform now.

These are both quotes and need quotes at the end to enclose them.

I fixed it.

@Non Troper

The Invoked, Exploited and Defied examples now have an extra set of quotes at the end.

Alright, I was referred here to improve my English. I'm looking forward to working together. Here goes nothing:

• Ironic Name: One of the new units of Uprising, the Pacifier. On the first campaign mission it becomes available, your intel officer warns you not be mislead by the name, as the Pacifier's artillery mode has tremendous firepower. It doesn't so much as pacifies it's target, as it completely obliterates it.

I fixed that, too.

Sweet Sheep

• The 1982 Christmas Song "Baa Baa Little Lamb" by Betsy Hernandez mainly focuses on The Nativity since it refers to the birth of Jesus while also referencing Mary's Lamb from Mary Had A Little Lamb. The song of part of a 1982 Christmas album called "25 Songs Of Christmas".

@Ruben Ferro

• your intel officer warns you not to be misled
• It doesn't so much as pacify its target <- no comma as it completely obliterate it.

@brb1006

Put a song (short work) title in quotes and an album (long work) title in italics as per How to Write an Example - Emphasis For Work Names.

• Crosshair Aware: The Pacifier does this in Uprising. The unit's artillery mode paints its impact zone with a huge crosshair. A kind of balancing factor considering the Pacifier's ludicrous destructive capabilities.

• The Pacifier does this in Uprising.

I assume that Uprising is a work title.

• A kind of balancing factor, <- comma considering the Pacifier's ludicrous destructive capabilities.

• Awesome, but Impractical: The Pacifier artillery unit. It has tremendous firepower; a single volley of it can tear even the sturdiest units in half. There are few things quite as satisfying (or terrifying if you are on the receiving end) than watching a cluster of units getting caught in its impact zone. However, when the Pacifier is not in artillery mode, it's practically useless, and when it is, it's immobile. This limits its usefulness to defense, and even there, it's vulnerable by itself and needs support. Not only does it mark its impact zone and has a slow rate of fire, but its shells travel pretty slow too, meaning that even the slower units can dodge it, requiring several volleys and for the enemy to stop in order to score a hit. It's fairly expensive as well; there are just cheaper and more versatile units to fill this role.

• Affably Evil: While Tiger Lucy willingly do a De La Porta dirty job to get a money, she genuinely act very carefree and playfully with sarcastic tone mocking De La Porta after he scold her due her failure to let the stolen weapon is damage.
• Bad Boss: De La Porta willingly blame or scold his henchmen if their mission is failed or only thinking about their own goal like to earn a money from him.
• Damsel in Distress: While Lua able to take some action, she always get targeted by De La Porta due to her knowledge about Primal Stones.
• Dirty Coward: De La Porta willingly to framed Jason and his friend to evaded the capture and always runaway from them after his plan and his fight is failed.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Even they willingly to do some dirty job for money, the henchmen willingly questioned him about the situation and mission.
  • Frazetti confess his confusion and his fear about Kong Island after De la Porta wanted to get primal stone, and he tell to De La Porta that the island is dangerous.
  • In "The Thirteenth Stone ", Both Tiger Lucy and Omar absolutely unhappy after they arrived in dinosaurs era. They angered and confused to him due he deny their question, and Tiger Lucy also demand to him to find a way to return to current era.
• He-Man Woman Hater: While he never state this, his annoyance to Tiger Lucy, and harassment to Lua is proved he not very well to faces to women.
• Money Fetish: Casually admit to De La Porta that she will do his dirty job if she get payed and tell to him that she wanted to ilegally sell the stolen weapon as her bonus, which annoyed him very much.
• Villainous Crush: Tiger Lucy has a crush with Tann when she still as art dealer of his family. It seem Tann also crush on her proved when he so surprise after know she working with De La Porta, but its never stated if they ever dating or in relationship.

They are most notable for the creepy masks they wear, which are actually bulletproof, and the "music boxes" some of them carry, which repress any magical ability and damage anything supernatural.

Star Wars: Rebels

• Outside-Context Problem: Grand Admiral Thrawn is one the greatest strategist of his universe, known for coming up with extremely elaborate plans and predicting the unpredictable. It's probably safe to say, however, that giant force-sensitive space-traveling whales appearing and trashing his fleet is fairly hard to plan for.

I came here to settle the issue in regards to my suspension. Do I have to do some kind of Grammar test to get the suspension lifted, or do I have to get my posts approved through the Mods instead of posting directly until my grammar improves?

Bunnies for Cuteness

• One of the main families in the Sylvanian Families (Calico Critters in the US) franchise are rabbits. In the OVA, Western Animation, and the 2010's animated shorts and short films. One of the main protagonists is a girl rabbit. Starting in the mid 2010's, the main protagonist of the franchise is a female rabbit named Bell.

Beary Friendly

• In Sylvanian Families (Calico Critters in the US), one of the main animal characters are a family of friendly bears. In the 2000's the series introduced a male bear named Aidan who loves eating. Aidan is also one of Bell's friends.

Sylvanian Families

• Big Eater: Aidan a friendly bear from the 2010's CGI series and shorts. Has a big appetite and loves eating.

Sylvanian Families YMMV

• Moe: While the majority of the characters in the franchise are already adorable and hugabble. Bell the rabbit takes the cake since she's very optimistic and caring with her friends.

• Tear Jerker:
  • Two examples in the short film "Calico Critters: The Treasure of Calico Village". The first is Bell finding her friend Aidan after she hears that he's lost in the forest. Bell is relivable and starts breaking down in tears by telling him that she's been worried sick about her. Near the end of film, Bell is making her a project for the village's competition but accidentally breaks it. She is later seen giving an announcement to the other residents that she will be dropping out of the competition and runs to her mother in tears.
