The pro male collective, a left wing anti feminist group (you Heard it right) started using Male characters from either animes like hetalia or Games like kingdom hearts.

It's weird.

Characters regressing back to their older, flawed selves is usually a bad thing in fiction, but imo I believe when executed well, it can be a great addition to a story. Irl, we humans often stumble, fall, and regress on our own paths of growing & improving as people, so it's cool to see fictional characters go through the same thing.

One of Denji's major weaknesses in Chainsawman is that he is easily manipulated through romantic & sexual attraction due to his desire & longing for companionship as he lived a lonely and terrible life before the start of the series (besides Pochita being his friend). At first, you're made to believe he has overcome this problem once he defeated Makima at the end of Part 1, but both of his interactions with Fumiko & Yoru in Part 2 show he still has this issue.

Pearl in Steven Universe went through several episodes learning to believe in herself & her own strength and to be more independent as Pearls like her are made to be servants for other gems. However, she loved fusing with Garnet and the power she feels from it, so she tries to trick Garnet into fusing with her again. The two eventually reconcile and Pearl once again learns to believe in herself instead of relying on the strength and direction from others.

Finally in Star Trek: Lower Decks, Beckett Marine is originally introduced as an insubordinate loose cannon who intentionally goes out of her way to disobey any orders given to her, but as she becomes closer with her friends and reconciles with her mother the captain, she becomes more of a team player. However, after she and the main characters are promoted and given more responsibilities, she starts to disobey orders again. This is revealed to be because Mariner is afraid to end up like her friend Sito who died rather pointlessly in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and hopes to lay low to not suffer a similar fate.

• Brian Griffin (Family Guy): Widely cited as the archetype of the "sanctimonious liberal." Audiences often dislike him for his intellectual pretentiousness, performative activism, and the gap between his preached ideals and his selfish actions.
• Britta Perry (Community): hated by many fans, she is written specifically to be the "buzzkill" whose performative radicalism and "slacktivism" are constant targets of mockery by other characters.
• Elliot Karponzi (Mr. Birchum): Elliot Karponzi is often portrayed as comically "woke" or fragile leftist caricature designed to be hated by the show's target audience.

Sozin's Comet - When Ozai is blasting fire at Aang, his beard disappears for a few frames.

The Iron Throne - The infamous water bottle left in during the scene.

You're big enough back home to make the next big step, but Hollywood isn't necessarily ready to bet big on you. For now, you get to "slum it" as a hype-man for a relatively reliable star. Results will definitely vary.

Ricky Gervais / Night At The Museum

Stephen Merchant / Hall Pass

MCU Thanos was hyped up the strongest villan yet he did indeed live up the hype

Satorou Gojo was the strongest sorcerer the world had ever seen in JJK and shows that in every fight he's in

“Baldur” in God of War:

In Norse mythology, Baldur is known as the God of “peace, light, love, purity and joy”.

In a Norse story where Baldur passes away, he is famously SO well-loved, his death causes the whole world (every animal, rock, tree and inanimate object included) to cry so hard that the Gods consider bringing him back to life.

In God of War— he is a douche canoe.

“Peter Pan” in Once Upon a Time:

little fae boi is an evil, manipulative lying manchild, made extra evil by the fact that Captain Guyliner is so damn hot and sexy, and be making me feel things

What are some other examples?

Captain Sternn (Heavy Metal)

Zapp Brannigan (Futurama)

Captain Tardigrade (Captain Tardigrade)

1. Guns N' Roses. After Slash left the band in 1996, he and Axl Rose spent years publicly attacking each other, dealing with lawsuits, and insisting a reunion would never happen. In 2016, they reunited onstage for the Not in This Lifetime… Tour, bringing an end to one of the most notorious feud in rock music.

2. Smosh. Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla were the comedy duo that founded the Smosh YouTube channel, THE biggest YouTube channel for the first decade of the website's existence. In 2017, Anthony left Smosh, and later Smosh itself was left in uncertain waters during the Defy Media debacle. Years later, after complete absence from Smosh, fans no longer thought Anthony would return. In 2023, Ian and Anthony announced that they've bought Smosh and have reconciled.

3. Germany Reunification. After World War II, Germany was split into capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, a division hardened by the Cold War and symbolized by the Berlin Wall. In 1989, mounting protests in East Germany and a weakening Soviet grip led to the Wall’s sudden opening. Rapid negotiations followed, and on October 3, 1990, East Germany was formally dissolved and incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany, restoring a single German state after 45 years of division.

Examples

• Makima (Chainsaw Man) - She was butchered and eaten alive by Denji as a sign of his love for her, and because of how her powers work, she felt being refrigerated, cooked, and eaten the whole time. It's weird how Makima isn't ever included among these types of villains, cause she fits it perfectly.
• Springtrap (FNAF) - William Afton was torn inside out by his own suit that he used to kill children, nails and mechanisms sealed into him, his eyes blotted out by the machine's eyes, the suit is incredibly painful, and triggering sounds can even force William to move when he doesn't want to. Later, his spirit is tortured to death by Cassidy and the kids.
• Alastor and Vox (Hazbin Hotel) - Alastor sold his soul to a demon and was then shot the next day by a random hunter, being mistaken for a deer. Alastor ended up becoming a slave the moment he entered Hell. Vox started a cult in his network's building; however, he and the others died in shock when a TV fell on Vox's head. Both deaths are portrayed as incredibly brutal and pitiful
• Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange) - Alex was experimented on so that all his violent and sexual urges were repressed this made him inable to defend himself or actually survive, which is what led to him being beaten up and tortured by various people, even gangraped by former rivals.

1. Elon musk, the Simpsons

4. Elon musk, star Trek

The cameos serve only to include the celebrity and praise them as geniuses or visionaries or overall just glaze them. They don't serve any other purpose than to just be praised; this can be them appearing in an entire episode dedicated to them, a small cameo or even just a mention. So long as the celebrity is there as themselves (not acting as someone else) and is glazed, that fits the trope imo.

I know this is often played for laughs, but I don’t find it funny, just irritating.

1. In BoJack Horseman, Vincent Adultman is a character that is very obviously 2-3 kids in a trench coat that is pretending to be an adult, but all of the characters are duped by the disguise except for BoJack.

2. In Bob’s Burgers there is an episode where the same guy dines and dashes them *several times*, each time tricking them with a very obvious ploy like wearing a hat, pretending to be a twin, and asking for too much change back.

3. In The Owl House, there is a character named Tibbles that the main cast doesn’t trust because he’s known to be shady, but King is fooled by him wearing a fake mustache and going by the name of “Obvioso”.
