Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Would like to add an example to the That One Boss page of Pokémon:
- Ultra Necrozma is notorious for how unforgiving its fight is for unprepared players, bordering on SNK Boss. It's got monster stats, including 167 base attack and special attack, 129 base speed, and it's at Level 60, which is about ten levels higher than you're likely to be at that point, AND it boosts all of its stats upon starting that battle, giving it the ability to outspeed and one-shot anything that doesn't resist it (and sometimes even the few that do resist it), and its got wide coverage which includes two moves it can't learn naturally. About the only saving graces are that it has six weaknesses due to its Psychic/Dragon typing and it being resisted by Steel-types, but then, good luck actually trying to take advantage of those.
De-potholed entry for Marvel Literature AND Marvel Cinematic Universe:
- Black Widow: Forever Red: Ivan Somodorov, Natasha Romanov/Black Widow's Evil Mentor, was a former instructor at the Red Room, and was known and feared throughout the institution for his intense cruelty toward his students, all barely teenage children; Ivan subjected his students to horrific emotional and physical abuse, and would then psychologically tear them down completely before reforming them into emotionless weapons with the sole purpose of assassination. After strong-arming numerous scientists into his service by threatening their lives and those of their families, Ivan forced them to build him the O.P.U.S., a machine that used electroshock torture to implant into its victims a latent assassination programming; Ivan used this technology almost solely on children, before murdering all those who assisted him in the project. After implanting his dozens of new, unknowing, soldiers into various governments, Ivan planned to use them worldwide to kill hundreds of high-ranking government officials, scientists, and anyone who could get in his way, at which point he would use his new army of assassins to institute his own government and Take Over the World. When Black Widow attempts to thwart his plan, Ivan sics his Child Soldiers on her, knowing she will be forced to go easy on them. Black Widow has dealt with tyrants, assassins, and superpowered monsters throughout her career, but Ivan Somdorov was the worst of them all.
One for Comic Books:
- Godzilla: The Half-Century War: Dr. Deverich is in the running for worst human being in the franchise. Having abandoned the Anti-Megalosaur Force (AMF) when they refused to utilize his designs, Deverich sells his psionic transmitters on the black market, enabling terrorists to summon kaiju to any city they want. He levels Hanoi and much of Vietnam when he tests his first device on Godzilla and Anguirus in the sixties, obliterates the city of Accra, Ghana, when he arranges for every kaiju on Earth to arrive there as part of a demonstration to his customers in the seventies, and after perfecting his design in 1987, uses it to reach out into space and summon SpaceGodzilla to Bombay, annihilating it as well. Worse still, the transmitter (accidentally) calls Gigan and King Ghidorah to Earth as well, resulting in the near extinction of the human race in nineties and early 2000s. With a criminal career spanning decades, and a death toll in the billions (millions of which were deliberate), Deverich outdoes every kaiju in the series when it comes to being a monster.
At Marvel Literature, there's a stray bracket in Kreeg's entry.

De-potholed entry for Jessica Jones:
- Complete Monster: Kilgrave, real name Kevin Thompson, is an amoral, mind-controlling sociopath responsible for the ruination and death of countless innocents throughout the series. As a child, Kilgrave turned his parents into his slaves after their painful experiments to cure him of a deadly disease resulted in him gaining mind-control abilities. Left by his parents when his torture of them became too severe, Kilgrave used his powers for everything from raping women, to ordering people who annoy him to kill themselves, and quickly developed a self-centered and petty personality, doing things like crushing a boy's toy car and then , or forcing a man to scald his own face with hot coffee for no reasons other than his own amusement. Turning the titular Jessica Jones into his slave, Kilgrave became obsessed with her when she broke free of his control after he ordered her to murder Reva Connors, who had videos of the experiments his parents performed on him. Kidnapping college athlete Hope Schlottman, Kilgrave raped her, then forced her to kill her own parents to send a message to Jessica. Revealed to have forcibly addicted Malcolm Ducasse to drugs so as to use him as a pawn, Kilgrave later commands Ruben, Jessica's kind neighbor, to slit his own throat while laying in her bed. When Kilgrave reunites with his parents, he has his mother stab herself to death, captures his father by using numerous innocents, including Hope, as hostages, then has him killed as well when he outlives his usefulness. Cornered by Jessica, Kilgrave orders dozens of people to start killing each other to distract her, and, in an attempt to hurt Jessica one last time, takes control of Trish Walker, Jessica's surrogate sister, in front of her while promising to rape Trish every day for the rest of her life. Refusing to take responsibility for his numerous crimes up until the end, Kilgrave, despite his Freudian Excuse, stands out as one of the most depraved villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
De-potholed entries for Marvel Cinematic Universe (1st 3 are movies; then Agents of SHIELD duo; then Netflix series):
- Captain America: The First Avenger: Johann Schmidt, aka the Red Skull, is a profound narcissist who believes himself a god that is no longer bound by humanity's rules. The head of HYDRA, a Nazi military organization, Schmidt has turned the group into his own personal cult. He's first introduced killing the guardian of the Tesseract and ordering the entire village where it was hidden wiped out for seemingly no reason. He goes on to betray Hitler and the Nazi party to pursue his own goals and murders the three men sent to check on the status of his research. Schmidt uses the Tesseract to make fantastic new weapons for HYDRA, and has POWs torturously experimented on in order to replicate Dr. Erskine's Super Serum. Despite their fanatical devotion to Schmidt, he continually shows no concern for the welfare of his men, having them chomp cyanide pills when captured to avoid giving out information on him, executing one merely for surviving an attack on a HYDRA base, and activating the self-destruct sequence at another HYDRA base when the Allied forces overrun it, not caring that hundreds of his troops will be killed in the blast. Schmidt's ultimate plan is to use his new weapons to wipe out half the planet, bombing nearly every major city including his own capital, just so he can rule over what's left.
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Ronan the Accuser is a genocidal Kree terrorist and renegade wholly devoted to the destruction of the planet of Xandar. Disgusted by his people signing a peace treaty, Ronan is introduced to the audience by confronting a captive member of Xandar's Nova Corps and crushing the helpless man's skull with his Universal Weapon. Beginning the film as a henchman of the Mad Titan Thanos, Ronan seeks to gather an item for Thanos so that he will destroy Xandar for him. Under Thanos, Ronan has committed multiple murders, including the deaths of Drax the Destroyer's wife and children. He later pursues the film's motley band of heroes to the space prison The Kyln, and orders a full massacre of every prisoner to leave no witnesses. When he realizes the power of the Infinity Stone he has been sent to retrieve, Ronan double crosses Thanos and vows to kill him after he's finished with Xandar. Assaulting the planet, he even orders his own men to become suicide bombers by flying their ships into Xandar, injuring and killing numerous civilians. He later kills over 80,000 members of the Nova Corps in one fell swoop note . After mocking Drax about finally remembering murdering his family, he declares Xandar "guilty" by his psychotic philosophy and attempts to purge it of all life. Brutal, violent, relentless and unforgiving, Ronan stands as an example of rage, fanaticism, unchecked hatred and utter cruelty, and really stands out in such a relatively light-hearted movie.
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Ego, Peter "Star-Lord" Quill's father and the Big Bad, is an immortal Celestial, who once traveled the universe seeking companionship, but found that other life utterly disappointed him and lost any interest in them. Ego instead decided upon a plan of assimilating all creation into himself in what he termed "The Expansion". Lacking the power to do so on his own, he sired countless children, hoping they would inherit his Celestial powers, killing them out of disappointment when they didn't. Traveling to earth, Ego met Meredith Quill, whom he developed genuine feelings for. Unwilling to deviate from The Expansion, Ego gave her the brain tumor that killed her to ensure nothing held him back from his self-appointed purpose. After learning Peter might carry the Celestial gene, Ego tracked him down, playing the good father to him before revealing the true purpose of The Expansion, revealing his true nature when he believed Peter wouldn't care. When Peter turns on Ego, Ego enslaves him to his own power to use Peter as a battery for the next thousand years before kicking off The Expansion to consume every living thing in the universe, spitefully destroying Peter's Walkman which was a gift from Meredith and his last link to his mother. When Peter attempts to stop Ego, Ego tries to murder Peter's friends as well with no care. Believing himself to be the ultimate being in the universe, convinced that all life is worthless save to be devoured and assimilated by him, and with his hands stained with the blood of thousands of his own children, Ego demonstrates the true terror of a godlike being hell-bent on imposing his nightmarish vision on the galaxy, while also managing to be one of the most personal villains in the franchise.
- The Clairvoyant aka John Garrett is the Big Bad of the first season. Heading the Centipede Project as a powerful figure in HYDRA, the Clairvoyant has superpowered individuals abducted and experimented on, implants his soldiers with explosive leashes, which he utilizes should they fail him or outlive their usefulness, had Coulson tortured to reveal the secret of his revival, and frequently kidnaps and threatens the lives of the loved ones of his "employees" in order to ensure their complete loyalty. At one point he implanted a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent with an explosive leash and forced her to work for him, work that included massacring a subway train full of bank security personnel to get what they were guarding. Later he implanted an Explosive Leash in Mike Peterson as well, abducted his son, and turned Mike into the cyborg villain Deathlok against his will. Despite his cheery demeanor, the Clairvoyant has no loyalty or empathy for anyone, not even to his undyingly loyal right-hand man, Grant Ward, whom he nearly killed to further his own plans. Later, he would force Ward to attempt to murder his two friends, Fitz and Simmons, in order to prove he's not weak. Ultimately, the Clairvoyant's true interest was extending his own life, and once he'd achieved that he went on to plan world domination.
- Dr. Daniel Whitehall, real name Werner Reinhardt, is one of the heads of HYDRA in season 2's present day, a former disciple of the Red Skull, and a true believer in Schmidt's cause of eliminating The Evils of Free Will. A bespectacled madman with a seemingly pleasant exterior, Whitehall has performed horrific human experiments during World War II and in the present, using the Obelisk to test how quickly people died after touching it. In the 1980's, Reinhardt brutally tortured and eviscerated Skye's mother, Jiaying, via surgery to obtain her powers of lasting youth, discarding her afterwards. Although she survived, Jiaying was warped by the experience and became a murderous villain in her own right. In the present, Whitehall brags about having mastered the art of keeping his victims conscious as he performs gruesome and invasive surgeries without anesthesia, brainwashes people, including loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, into becoming his slaves, frames S.H.I.E.L.D. for killing sprees that he himself organized, and ordered the Bus shot down, despite Ward promising mercy, after forcing its passengers to surrender Skye. Whitehall's goal is to use the Obelisk and the city it leads to in order to create a Weapon of Mass Destruction, which he will use to kill millions, if not billions of people. In his final appearance, Whitehall plans to torture Skye to death and force her father to watch. In his final moments of life, Whitehall smiles as he prepares to shoot Cal, only being stopped when Coulson guns him down. A sadistic, sociopathic Control Freak, Daniel Whitehall is a cold-blooded madman and one of the worst that HYDRA has to offer.
- Jessica Jones (2015): Kilgrave, real name Kevin Thompson, is an amoral, mind-controlling sociopath responsible for the ruination and death of countless innocents throughout the series. As a child, Kilgrave turned his parents into his slaves after their painful experiments to cure him of a deadly disease resulted in him gaining mind-control abilities.

Kidnapping college athlete Hope Schlottman, Kilgrave raped her, then forced her to kill her own parents to send a message to Jessica.

Too few inbounds and also just pluralizations to stuff that either don't need it (e.g. Novel) or stuff that isn't really helped by it (e.g. Literature).
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyWanted to add the Church of the New Dawn from Watch_Dogs 2 to Church of Happyology. Like you-know-who, they indoctrinated a famous actor to serve as a spokesperson, intimidate members into giving up their life savings, and preach that an alien created life on Earth with fake Sumerian tablets.

Can this be added to YMMV.Final Fantasy VII :
- Values Dissonance: The game's characters use the word "retard" and variants thereof fairly liberally, usually as a synonym for "dumb" or "stupid," as was commonplace at the time the game was produced. Nowadays, the word is considered an extremely offensive and discriminatory slur, and totally unacceptable for usage in conversation.
I screwed up the links:
Po Mo as a redirect to Postmodernism, please.
Rabbit Hole as a redirect to Down the Rabbit Hole.

- Averted on Star Trek: Discovery. One of the major characters, Lt. Ash Tyler, has spent months as a prisoner aboard a Klingon ship, only surviving due to the female torturer taking interest in him, both as a test subject and as a lover. When later facing her, we get to see his flashbacks to both the Cold-Blooded Torture and her having sex with him, with the latter shown as a perfectly horrifying experience.
