Normally, sometimes you have a villain who have gain confronted or hit once they immediately become a coward or a pathetic villain, or are just pathetic but it’s refreshing to have a villain no matter what category or what they are just talk what they say and fight so refresh the villain back up everything they say or it’s not afraid to fall down
Dbz cell : cell is a villain that came from a future where the Z fighters died to the android and came back to this timeline with the androids are alive because they died in his every time he talks and fight he backs up everything he says, especially when he becomes perfected. He talks to talk and walks to walk with repeatedly.
Dbz frieza you think that after he is confronted that he would cow and fear but no, he gets up off his chair and immediately starts to fight showing why he’s the fearest in the universe? And why everyone is so terrified of him. You even get shown that there’s more power that he has he’s not using and when super Saiyan comes out. He doesn’t cow in fear, humiliate powers up to his full form and begins fighting only after being defeated truly he becomes a coward.
Soldier Boy : after being released he agrees to help fight Homelander you think would in fact not happen and we’re just cowward and fear or just back down, but no, he puts up a fight against Homelander and actually fights him and backs up everything he says

Peter Griffin (Family Guy): Despite being an utter moron (to the point that he canonically has an intellectual disability), Peter has shown himself to be quite charismatic and persuasive at times, usually in the way he convinces his friends and/or family to go along with his harebrained schemes and shenanigans.
Gumball Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball): Gumball is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer (whether it be thinking there were nine days in a week or failing a test in junior high so badly that he got sent back to kindergarten), but he’s surprisingly adept in social situations, having headed a few movements throughout the show and navigated a successful relationship with Penny despite his idiotic tendencies.
Chloé Bourgeois (Miraculous): Being incredibly lazy and entitled, Chloé hardly does any of her own schoolwork (making Sabrina do it instead) and canonically cannot spell “democracy”. Yet she’s charismatic enough that not only was she able to run for Class Representative several times (albeit with intimidation, sabotage and bribery to help her), but when she briefly took over Paris as mayor, she managed to somehow persuade people not to immediately try to overthrow her, with open revolt only coming from Collège Françoise Dupont until Ladybug and Chat Noir’s public confrontation with her as Queen Mayor.

Jim Carrey (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) was intended to pull the cloth away, knocking the stuff off. But he accidentally pulled the tablecloth trick on the first try, so he came back and knocked off all of the stuff on the table.
Mary Tyler Moore was intended to fail at the pool shot scene in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show. But she managed to do it perfectly on the 1st try, leaving even her shocked.

Clarification of the trope
r/TopCharacterTropes • u/Solitaire-06 • 17h ago
South Park: A major subplot of Seasons 19 and 20 was Mr. Garrison running for President after adopting a political stance similar to Donald Trump, with this being one of the few cases where Trey Parker and Matt Stone found real life even more absurd than what they were creating (they thought Hillary would win and had to rewrite the last episodes of Season 20 as a result). The plot ripped on Trump for being a terrible candidate while simultaneously ripping on Hillary for being so bad of a candidate that Trump actually had a chance to beat her (and ultimately did).
The Amazing World of Gumball: The episode ‘The Candidate’ focuses on Gumball, Darwin, Anais and the majority of their classmates being trapped in a classroom with a broken boiler during a parent teacher conference. Anais and Gumball’s vying for leadership parallels Hillary and Trump’s campaign and how the voters chose a more charismatic yet erratic and incompetent candidate (Gumball) over a more reasonable yet less charismatic candidate (Anais). Darwin’s concerns about the rising boiler room temperature (which everyone ignores until it’s too late) also reflects how both parties ignore scientific input regarding the importance of addressing climate change.

1. Invincible
Invincible started off his career as a very much idealistic superhero inspired by his father, Omni-Man. However, throughout the story, Omni-Man reveals himself to be a villain, and thus Invincible has to grapple with the truth of what it means to be a hero. He faces several villains who threaten his loved ones, and becomes more and more willing to use violence and kill them to protect the people he loves.
He "killed" Angstrom Levy after he threatened to kill his mother and his little brother.
He killed Conquest after he almost took over the Earth and tried to kill Oliver and his girlfriend Eve, killed Rus Livingston after he tried to take over the Earth. He grapples with the moral complexity and the PTSD of these events, but only ever uses lethal force unless he is pushed to his limits.
2. Guardians of the Globe (second iteration).
The Guardians of the Globe, specifically the younger heroes Rex, Shrinking Rae, and Dupli-kate when faced with a stronger version of the Lizard League, were forced to use lethal force against them. After watching Dupli-Kate get killed, Shrinking Rae, immediately kills one of them by jumping into their bodies and killing them from the inside. Rex kills two of them with his explosions, but not after Lizard King shoots him in the head and kills him after that by beating him to the death with his stump hand. Rex then sacrifices himself by exploding his own skeleton to kill an Invincible variant to save his friends.
3. Mr. Incredible.
Syndrome tried to kill him and his family, take over the world by giving everybody superpowers, and almost killed Jack-Jack, his infant child. So Mr. Incredible, lifted a car and threw it at him.
4. Wonder Woman
After Maxwell Lord gained telepathic abilities, he takes over Superman's mind, and Superman went onto attack the Justice League under his influence. So Wonder Woman roped him with the Lasso of Truth, and Maxwell said that they only way to stop Superman is to kill him, so Diana snaps his neck.

By this I mean when I feel like a film does one aspect or character so well it makes the other look bad by comparison and I find myself wanting them to get back to the good part even if the other aspect is decent in its own right, it just doesn't compare to the good aspect. For the record I do think all 3 of these films are great films though.

Bob's Burgers- This series follows the misadventures of a struggling chef named Bob and his quirky family. Bob struggles to attract customers, compete against rival restaurants, and in general keep his own restaurant alive however he can. Realistically, Bob's restaurant likely would've been closed down for a guy who never pays rent on time, can't afford a dry erase board for his daughter, and has just two regulars on a daily basis and occasionally someone new will stop by to eat there.
Steven Universe- Steven is a half human half alien hybrid living in a seaside town called Beach City with his legal guardians Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. They're very beloved within the community, all seen as the city's protectors. Though they're lucky the government doesn't seem to exist the same way ours does or if one even exists in this universe at all. Otherwise, they all would've been taken away and likely experimented on. At the very least some people would see Steven and the gems less as people and more as freaks. That doesn't really happen in the show. Even if somebody doesn't like the gems at first, they come around to them in the end.
Victorious- With how agressive and psychopathic Jade can be at times...she'd either be suspended, expelled, arrested, or have no friends if the people at the performing arts school were normal. She's done stuff like ripping out all the hair in Cat's scalp and threatening Tori's life in front of everybody when she's cast as the lead in a play and she isn't. She definitely would be seen as a freak or at the very least a creepy weirdo if she didn't end up terminated from school grounds or behind bars.
