    I see a lot of these "Pokémon store in real life"type of stories, and usually they take advantage of how in the setting of this so-called real life there isn't a Pokémon series, which is kind of bogus

    But I got me thinking you know like if you actually had a pet shop that had unlimited Pokémon to sell how much would you sell each Pokémon for?

    For some reason, "Advanced Research Group for Uniting Superhumans" or "ARGUS" got translated as "天眼会" or "The Sky Eye Society". Weird. How did this come to be?

    Acronyms be silly and DC really likes surveillance state plotlines for some reason

    If Barry Allen changed the predetermined outcome of his mother's death by undoing everything that happened in the coming years afterwards, then it could be said that Barry Allen killed an entire universe of people, all their potential and futures gone. So we could say that Barry Allen is actually a villain worse than Thanos.

    Taking that logic to an extreme, the same can be said for a lot of things, for example a lottery means one person wins the prize, but that doesn't mean the winner "made" everyone else lose, random chance did, and Barry going back in time just rewinds everyone's potential actions, it doesn't erase it entirely.

    One day, Zam woke up as meme-Gudako, with all her servants in Skyrim, who just simultaneously became the leader of the thieves guild, nightingales, the companions, college of winterhold, dawnguard... just to run into two pushy old ladies, one of whom wants to force Zam to join some dark brotherhood and the other wants to force Zam to kill some old paarthydragon

    the world is more than black and white (good and evil) and more shades of grey because good guys aren't strong enough strong enough to kill every single evil

    The Japanese pronunciation of "Ultraman" (when spoken with emotion, especially rage) sounds like the Chinese words "鱼头喇嘛"

    I hate it when you have the stories where the antagonist is shown on screen scheming or whatever and you just see the protagonist being completely oblivious, instead of counter scheming, it's like if you're in a fight and you know someone's gonna repeatedly punch you in the face and you kind of have to just stand there and take it

    I like it better when they're both scheming, but most writers can't rub enough brain cells together to do that

    Because Protagonists having plans to counter a villain's plans (and by that I mean "on-screen" plans not "We pulled this No U out of nowhere to win the day) means Villains might counter that plan, and so on and so forth, and many creators just want to have the Protagonist be reactive rather than go that deep into planning.

    I really dislike these "I'm a small time private farmer in the Pokemon world with a breeder shop" type stories, like because they make no sense when they try to make the MC unique, but on the other hand, they're so heart warming, you know, like hugging a happy fox in a pile of snow

    hehe contrary snivy so tsundere
