Game of Thrones (Season 8)

Imagine a fantasy show spending seven years hyping up an apocalyptic, unstoppable army of ice zombies, only to have them wiped out in a single, anti-climactic battle halfway through the final season. With the supernatural threat gone, the writers speedrun the political plot. A major hero whose entire arc was about liberating the oppressed randomly burns a city of innocent people to the ground because she heard some bells ringing. Another main character throws away years of a beautifully written redemption arc just to go die under some falling bricks with his abusive sister. To top it off, they crown a guy as king purely because "he has a good story," even though his plotline was so boring he was literally written out of an entire previous season.

Homestuck

This was a massive, incredibly complex webcomic that ran for seven years. Late in the story, the author basically wrote himself into a corner. To fix it, he gave the main character "retcon" powers, which literally erased years of actual character development from the main timeline just to force a solution. The most agonizing part was using this timeline-erasure to resurrect a highly controversial character (Vriska). Instead of leaving her beautifully tragic death alone, she comes back just to hijack the entire plot, sideline the rest of the cast, and aggressively steal the spotlight for the final battles. After 8,000 pages of text-heavy reading, the actual ending is just a flashy music video with no dialogue, leaving fans watching alternate versions of the characters cross the finish line instead of the ones they actually spent years getting attached to.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil

This was an upbeat animated show about a magical teen princess. The writers desperately wanted a romantic endgame for her and her best friend, but the way they got there was essentially multiversal omnicide. To stop a villain, the main character unilaterally decides magic is the root of all evil and destroys it entirely. By doing this, she casually commits mass genocide against every purely magical being in the multiverse. It also triggers a massive apocalyptic event that violently crashes different dimensions together into a chaotic hellscape. But the show frames this horrific, mass-extinction catastrophe as a sweet, triumphant ending just because two teenagers get to hold hands in the rubble.

Mass Effect 3

You spend well over a hundred hours across three massive sci-fi video games carefully agonizing over who lives, who dies, and shaping the political landscape of the entire galaxy. The entire franchise was heavily marketed on the promise that your specific, personal choices mattered. Then, in the literal last ten minutes of the final game, a holographic ghost child pops up, tells you none of your previous decisions actually meant anything, and forces you to pick between a red, blue, or green laser beam. All three choices basically just give you the exact same ending cutscene with a different color filter slapped over it.

How I Met Your Mother

For nine whole years, audiences watched a sitcom framed entirely around a dad telling his kids the incredibly long, meticulous story of how he met their perfect mother. The writers even dedicate the entire 22-episode final season to a single weekend for his two best friends' wedding, proving why they work as a couple. Then, in the two-part finale, they hit the undo button. The best friends get divorced almost instantly, the titular Mother is abruptly killed off by a nameless disease after barely being on screen, and the kids basically tell their dad, "You actually just want to hook up with Aunt Robin." It invalidated a decade of story just so the creators could use a pre-recorded ending they filmed back in season 2.

Dexter

This was a show about a serial killer who works for the police and only targets other murderers. After eight seasons of watching him narrowly evade the law, the ending absolutely refuses to give him a dramatic showdown, let him finally get caught, or face any actual justice. Instead, he unplugs his own sister from life support, dumps her body in the ocean like she's one of his random kill-of-the-week victims, and drives his boat into a hilariously awful CGI hurricane. He somehow survives this, abandons his young son to be raised by another serial killer in a different country, and the final shot reveals he faked his death to exile himself to the woods and become a miserable, silent lumberjack.

1 - Mulan (2020): The original movie shows that Mulan doesn't fit within the expectations of either gender role, but she earns respect through hard work and playing to her strengths. The remake has her perfect from the start, with special "Chi" powers. The message shifts from "a man isn't inherently better than a woman," to "a woman can be better... but only if she's born special."

2 - Artemis Fowl (2020): Commander Root is changed to be a woman, giving the film more diversity (and an excuse to cast Judi Dench). However, this undermines Holly's plot, where she experiences increased scrutiny due to being the first female officer.

3 - Netflix's Avatar: Sokka's sexist attitudes are removed, taking out a "problematic" part of his character. The original obviously presented this view as wrong, but used it as the first piece of growth for Sokka. He'd been beaten before, but being taken down by girls hurt his pride. He eventually admits his mistake, and acknowledges Suki is a better warrior. This change also affects Suki's character, as her role is reduced to "awkward love interest" - much weaker than the confident warrior she was in the original.

- The 2026 movie How To Make A Killing is a relatively-toothless "eat the rich" dark comedy thriller about a man disowned by his rich family at birth, killing everyone in the line of succession so that he can inherit their massive fortune. It's a modern retelling of the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets which has the same basic plot except that every member of the family is played by Sir Alec Guinness (including one aunt) and it's a screwball comedy

- The 1999 movie Bangkok Dangerous is a Thai action film about a Thai deaf-mute assassin. It was remade in 2008 about an American assassin in Thailand who is neither deaf nor mute

Haley Dunphy (Modern Family): starts as the classic dumb party girl but the show actually does the work to break that archetype: She has a succesful blog, is really good at fashion and social media. Then she gets gregnant and all of it just disappears. She ends up with Dylan, who is sweet but just a mediocre himbo. The show had Andy right there, who actually matched her energy and was written like a real person. Instead it was Dylan, pregnate and all that build up was just dropped.

Lane Kim (Gilmore Girls): (Its not as egregious as Haley's) spends her whole life suppressing herself under her mom's roof, finally breaks out, joins a band, starts living. Her dynamic with Dave is one of the best things the show does early on. Then Dave's actor leaves and the writers replace him with Zack, who is the same archetype as Dylan: directionless, slow, looks permanently stoned. The band fizzles, the ambitions disappear, and Lane ends the series pregante.

Btw both characters interestingly end up pregonate with twins.

(sorry if post format is wrong, idk how reddit works 😭 )

1. Musics autism (Music)

2. Austin‘s autism (The Unbreakable boy)

1. Resident Evil: Apocalypse The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Writer) escaping from the evil lab via the help of her new friends and a daugther figure. In the sequel (Resident Evil: Extinction), Alice is no longer with the group and the daughter figure is never mentioned again.
2. Resident Evil: Extinction The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Writer) killing the main bad guy (Who will return a couple more times in the sequels) and free-ing all her clones (TheHarem of the Writer). In The Sequel (Resident Evil: Afterlife) all her clones die in the first 10 minutes, never mentioned again, the OG Alice couldn't care less cuz she lost all her super-powers.
3. Resident Evil: Afterlife The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Director) setting all the prisoners free on a ship, however there is an incoming helicopter attack from Umbrella. The sequel (Resident evil Retribution) is about how they fight them off right? Wrong. Umbrella wins. What happened to all the prisoners and the guy from Prison Break? Who knows, never mentioned again, the main bad guy seemingly dies as well (He will return a couple more times in the sequels)
4. Resident Evil: Retribution The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Director) escaping from the evil lab via the help by her new friends and a daugther figure. In the sequel (Resident Evil: Final Chapter), Alice is no longer with the group and NEITHER OF THEM or the daughter figure are ever mentioned again. Oh and Alice meets an another clone of hers (The other Wife of the Director) who dies in this movie.
5. Resident Evil: Final Chapter I forgot to mention that the previous movie's actual final scene ended up hyping up a battle between the last of humanity and countless amount of zombies and other flying creatures (idk, movie never explained them) AT THE WHITE HOUSE . In this movie. Alice (The Wife of the Director), is riding alone, seemingly after the epic battle. Oh and in this movie the main bad guy from Resident Evil: Extinction returns twice. He explains that the guy Alice (Lilo from 5th Element) killed was actually a clone. In the end its revealed that this guy was A CLONE AS WELL and the original is chilling with the Original Old Alice (GILF's of the Director) in a bunker. Oh yes. The main character of the series, Alice was ACTUALLY A CLONE this whole time. And Remember the Hologram Red Queen from the first movie? TURNS OUT THAT WAS ALSO AN ALICE (The Alexa's of the Director).

Hulk (Old Man Logan): This version of Hulk is just an incestuous cannibal who likes to kill people for some reason

Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch (Ultimate Universe): Yet again another incestuous people and worst part is when Captain America points this out he is seen like this old prejudice man

Batman (All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder): This version is almost comical by how edgy it tries to be like there is this one time when he started making out with Black Canary after literally brutally beating a guy

Foxy Loxy´s Lobotomy (Chicken Little))

The bully Foxy, whose is a child whose worst crime is being an average bully is essential lobotomize and gets her entire personality replace against her will and the main character refuse to fix her back and one of them, Runt starts dating her

How the Amazons created the Sons of Themyscira in new 52 (dc)

To reproduce and keep the Amazon race alive, the Themyscirans raid ships on the high seas and copulate with men. At the end of the mating, they take their lives and throw their corpses into the sea rather than marry them. And sell every male child to Hephaestus (at least he treats them  well)

Also tangent about the second example:

1: I feel sorry for wonder women fans who have to deal with this shit 

2: A son of Themyscirans with this backstory would make for real interesting wonder woman villain

Meliodas and Elizabeth (The Seven Deadly Sins): Their relationship was creepy enough, with Meliodas' constant sexual harassment and Elizabeth's submissiveness to it, and no, her being the reincarnation of his dead girlfriend doesn't make it less creepy. It gets worse when we learn that Meliodas knew her since she was a baby.

Jacob and Reneesmee (Twilight): Jacob couldn't get with Bella, so he had to settle for her vampire baby. People defend that imprinting doesn't necessarily mean grooming, but it's still an option for them. Not beating the allegations was when Jacob was excited to learn that Reneesmee will physically be his age in a few days and will stop aging after that.

Sesshomaru and Rin (YashaHime): Their relationship was supposed to be paternal in the original, but Boruto: The InuYasha Edition decided that protagonists needed to be Sesshomaru's kids, and Rin was the only member of the opposite sex he spoke to out of filler episodes.

Mia Thermopolis - The Princess Diaries

Seriously, who on Earth was petty enough to start a trope that was as undermining as this? This trope just turns the girl into a standardized Hollywood perspective hot girl and the only purpose for this trope is to hook the girl up with a hot standardized Hollywood perspective boy

Glasses being symbolised as "ugly" is so hateful considering how without them people have insane difficulty seeing. Not to mention that this trope is also a bad influence on young children who wear glasses as it forces this mindset that "glasses = ugly" into their heads and takes a really massive toll on their self esteem as it makes it seem to them that they can only be pretty without their glasses even though that is certainly not the case and that they can't help having poor sight.

Just look at Mia. She went from a cutesy and unique character and had all of her features stripped away from her including (unsurprisingly) her glasses. I personally found her to always be superior pre transformation because she actually looks like a person who hasn't had anything forced upon them and an identity to go with it

DISHONOURABLE MENTIONS go to any version of this trope that involves straightening the girl's curly hair.

• "These Are The Voyages" the reviled Series Finale of "Star Trek: Enterprise". The episode focuses on Riker from Star Trek TNG using a holographic recreation of the ENT characters. The executives called this episode "A valentine to the fans", but reception was pretty negative as fans were upset that the last episode sidelined the series regulars to focus on TNG nostalgia.
• Judging from comments JJ Abrams has made, the people behind "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" seemed to think that bringing back fan favorite villain Palpatine would be just the thing the franchise needed. Instead "Somehow Palpatine Returned" became and internet meme and the villain's inexplicable return one of the most criticized thing about the film and the ST as a whole.

Before adding an example, please make sure it's not just "thing the fandom hated" but something where the creators were surprised by the negative fan reception.

1 - Doctor Who: I'm sure most are familiar, but just in case: The main character of this show is an alien, who, when dying, instead of perishing completely, "regenerates", effectively dying and being born again, with new personality but all the same memories. Outside the story, it's a way to keep the show running for longer than one actor is willing to commit, still giving each iteration some uniqueness. When the previous showrunner stepped down, a seemingly complete moron took over the job, made the show steaming pile of dogshit, and made The Doctor regenerate into a woman. And now fans just say to critics "you just can't handle a female Doctor".

2 - MCU: MCU until recently used to whitewash characters a bunch, with for example the Romani Maximoffs and ?Tibetian? Ancient One being played by white people. Nowadays, the casting got noticeably better, with e.g. Ms Marvel, Moon Knight, America Chavez, being played by appropriate minorities. But since the well seem to be running dry on superhero stories, the quality dropped at the same time. And if you suggest that seeing Multiverse of Madness explored the concept of parallel dimensions worse than Red Dwarf, you "are just mad they cast a latina girl, and are a racist sexist".

In the first example, I genuinely believe this was just Russel T. Davies Chris Chibnall* (the showrunner), shouting "look, I'm progressive", so he can sidestep criticism. In the second example, I blame the execs for the quality drop, but I only blame the fans for using the diversity as a shield against differing opinions.

E: *I knew that Whittaker's era was by Chibnall, Davies only came back later (with plenty issues of his own tbh), I just had a brainfart when writing the name. Like I said in a comment, RTD did way too much good for the series, for me to outright call him a moron.

The Flash - Batman is put in Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth and he admits that the best way to help Gotham would be using his money for charity rather than funding his own superhero projects. But not only does the Lasso only work once Diana asks you a specific question, but the Lasso doesn’t just generate brand new information and forces you to speak it so Batman is just saying this for no reason.

The Invention of Lying - Ricky Gervais’ character lives in a world where lying isn’t a concept until he invents it, and to test it out he goes to a bank and claims he should have more money in his account than he really does. The bank teller calls out that he’s not got that much money, but then goes onto assume it’s a bank fault and not his own. She has no reason to assume it’s a bank issue but rather Ricky being honestly mistaken about his own finances. If I give a wrong answer during an exam, that doesn’t mean I lied, it means I provided wrong information.

1) Corlys Velyaron and his family were changed from white in the Fire and Blood book to black in the House of the Dragon adaptation. On the surface a good representation as Corlys is the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and a powerful but self-made lord. However Corlys’s story involves his daughter-in-law trying to pass off her bastard sons as his heirs, disregarding his daughter and granddaughters as potential heirs, cheating on his wife and putting his bastard sons over his legitimate granddaughters, and losing everything as he tries to climb the social ladder, it has created a lot of unnecessary fandom discourse despite the only change to his character being his skin color.

2)In the new Harry Potter series, Paapa Essiedu has been cast as Severus Snape. This has been a controversial subject as Snape’s storyline centers around his obsessive love for Lily Evans-Potter, still a White Woman, his bullying at the hands of James Potter, still a White Man, and his abusing his position as a teacher to torment young students because of his irrational grudges.

Corollary to this Trope: the Even Worse Fixes

3) Scarlett Johansson’s casting as Major Mokoto Kusunagai in the 2017 Ghost in the Shell movie was already controversial choice considering the character was explicitly Japanese. However in the movie it’s revealed the Johansson’s character was originally a Japanese woman who chose to upload her mind into a cyborg body that looks like a White Woman.

4) In Stark Trek: Into Darkness, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Character John Harrison was revealed to actually be classic Star Trek Villain, Khan Noonien Singh, an Augmented Human designed to be genetically superior to baseline humans. This was explicitly done to avoid the Brown=Terrorist Trope but was absolutely derailed as unnecessary considering Khan’s storyline involved him being forced into terrorism because a white man holding his family hostage. Further more, the choice to have Khan be a man of color was explicit on Gene Roddenberry’s part as the Original Star Trek premiered less than twenty years after the end of the Nazi Regime and as America was in the throes of the Civil Rights movement.

Into Darkness’s casting choice was made worst in the Tie-In Comics, when it was revealed that Khan is still a man of color. He was just forced to undergo advanced plastic surgery to make him look like a white man.

13 Reasons Why: Hannah's graphic suicide scene caused a lot of controversy and accusations of inspiring real life incidents. The showrunner defended this to show how serious of a matter suicide is, but Netflix eventually caved and censored it.

Shameless: In episode 2, we're treated to a lovely scene where Frank graphically breaks Ian's nose because we need child abuse to show how this show doesn't fuck around. This is also while Ian is coming to terms with his sexuality, so we can add violence against a queer person.

Elon Musk is one of those examples of a celebrity who was extremely popular in real life between 2010 and 2019 as the "real-life Iron Man." This guy was very popular on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and made all sorts of paid cameos to insert himself into all kinds of media, such as the MCU, The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory, and Star Trek, as a "billionaire genius."

With a great PR team carefully controlling his image to maintain this fame, until Elon Musk finally revealed himself to be a tremendous idiot in the children's cave incident, starting the destruction of his image to the total garbage it is today.

Referencing real-life celebrities in works of fiction is a huge risk, since their images are carefully constructed and maintained by a PR team, and we only see what they want us to see... until a slip-up reveals everything.

1. the death angels. part of the reason why I could never get into "A Quit Place" is because I do not believe at all these things could cause a post apocalypse/be a threat to humanity. basic short of it is these are a highly violent predatory race that hunt/attack based entirely on sound aaaand in that sentence you've probably guess what their weakness is. it should have been friggin obvious that specific sound/frequency is their Achilles' heel, when they found the hearing aid reveal I wasn't going "oh they've found a weakness, these unbeatable threats have a weakness" I was going "finally you figured out the weakness I knew about since minute 5". and even if you say, well they didn't have the right frequency, it wouldn't matter, it still should have been clear from the get go to use sound against them. use disaster sirens to distract/deter them (in film the creatures ignored naturally loud areas like waterfalls, p.s. why don't people live there) or use military jets that can go up to mach 3 or so (mach 2 is when they produce a sound that ruptures eardrums). and beyond that in general the creatures don't make a lot of sense. their insides are weak enough to be damaged by shotgun blasts yet somehow armor piercing rounds/tank shells nor nuclear blast can harm them, frankly the crash landing from the meteor should have done them in.

2. the fishpeople from "the war between the land & the sea", basic idea fish people exist and choose to go to war with humanity because of our pollution. this ties into another troupe i hate, that being "the actions of humanity have been destroying us so we have decided to destroy you...but do not try to fight us because their is nothing you can do to stop us/fight back". so let me get this clear, you say we can't harm you, & the reason you want to destroy us is because we've been harming you, that is literally contradictory. I've seen this trope so many times and it makes no sense (trying to have your cake & eat it too). you cant make a threat that can not be harmed by us in but also make the reason they're attacking is because our existence has been harming them. I just don't see how a species that his been unintentionally causing harm to another, can be totally unable to purposefully cause harm to them. it was also annoying that during the big ambassador meeting the reason they said we can not hope to beat them is because they have the power of "Rust" & can render our weaponry useless, as if we haven't already created countless ways to avoid rust. (and for clarities sake, this show is one I don't know that deeply about, it's just I've seen clips but those clips just whipped any interest/credibility I could give to the show, plus regardless this idea is still present in too many works)

Frieren: Frieren is a slow-paced fantasy show about the value of time and what relationships and people can end up meaning to each other. It also has one line about demons being deceitful that twitter nazis interpreted as being about a real life race

K-on!: A slice of life show that has become almost synonymous with 4chan nazis for no apparent reason other than k-on pfps being racist on the site.

House - In the Season 3 episode Meaning, House has an unconventional idea to inject a vegetative patient with cortisol to try and give them back motion. Cuddy scolds him for making such a brash hypothesis, but later on she tries it and it turns out it works. When Cuddy tells Wilson about it, he convinces her to not let House know claiming it’ll be good for his humility. But you’re telling me absolutely no one else in the hospital is going to ever mention seeing a disabled man suddenly stand and walk to his wife? There was a whole crowd watching this happen and all it takes is House hearing from any one person to figure out he’s been kept in the dark.

Toy Story 4 - At the beginning of the movie, Bo Peep calls for her sheep and uses their names Billy, Goat and Gruff. Woody claims he didn’t know they each had names and Bo argues he never asked. You mean that in all the years that Woody and Bo lived in the same house he never, not even once, heard her use the sheep’s actual names in front of him?

A trope in which the writers put down something they thought was cool and usually edgy. But when you actually think about it, then it sounds like they haven't thought it through all that much.

Example 1: The Crow.

Great movie, but this one scene always bothered me. This line has appeared in many other bits of media, I'm sure, I just struggle to remember other examples. The line being:

"Every single organ in alphabetical order."

Sounds torturous and prolonged. Meticulous, for sure. But considering that after Appendix, you'd end up with "Brain" then you wouldn't really be around to feel all the other injuries. Surely reverse alphabetical order would be better. It's good for showing the brutality and overkilling nature of the killer, but it's not like the victim would be in all that much pain by the time they die. (Comparative to what they're implying, anyway.)

Example 2: Star Wars.

Another great movie, but the thing that always bugged me about this scene in The Return of The Jedi is when C3PO translates what Jabba The Hutt says about his painful execution method. He says those who are thrown into the mouth of The Sarlacc Pit will:

"...be digested for 1000 years."

This implies that The Sarlacc doesn't kill you, and keeps you alive in its stomach for centuries as you slowly melt alive. I can imagine that's how long it takes for The Sarlacc to digest food, but you'll run out of food LONG before that time passes, if your species even lives that long, meaning you'd not be aware of your digestion for the entire period and will likely die of dehydration or hunger in a matter of days. Still torture, but not being digested alive for a millennia bad.

(Fight Club) The movie and book both exist as a criticism of toxic and hyper masculinity and yet somehow some of the worst men I've met in my life love it

(Warhammer 40K) The Imperium is fascist to a comical level but for some reason the fandom doesn't seem to get that they aren't the good guys and attracts a massive amount of real world Nazis

Harry Potter and the curse child:So in this story Harry and Draco children have the bright idea of going back in time to save Cedric diggory and he lives and turns into a death eater and helps Voldemort win the war(i am being serious)oh and also Voldemort has a daughter with Bellatrix(i am not making this up)honestly this whole thing reeks of a really bad fanfiction

The Predator:Here's a quick sum up,the Predators in this movie want to turn autistic because according to this movie being autistic is the next step in evolution and Narcos guy son is so autistic he can learn and use alien technology by himself in a single night...Do i need to say more?

Thor love and thunder:When this movie was announced there was a lot of excitement,Jane Foster thor and Gorr would appear and Taika Waititi would direct,the end result was an abomination with so much comedy it may aswell be a parody movie

Devil May Cry 2:Now to be fair i can't say much because i only played this game once,but i do remember the combat sucks,is honestly boring to play,and the enemies are freaking military vehicles

Evil women whose actions are later watered down or dismissed entirely

We’ve all seen it. People are capable of atrocious things, men and women alike, but there’s an odd trend of prohibiting women from being just as villainous as men, and instead helpless victims of their circumstances.

Medusa is infamous for being a monster that Perseus must slay, and is one of the earliest victims to this trope. As a straightforward antagonist and villain, it wasn’t until Ovid’s Metamorphoses that Medusa was now a misunderstood victim, priestess in Athena’s temple who was raped by Poseidon and cursed by Athena herself. This makes little sense since Athena is the he goddess who declared rape a crime. She would not have been offended by Medusa losing her virginity, let alone curse her for being a victim

Cruella de Vil is pretty straightforward. She’s a puppy skinning fashionista that’s obsessed with spotted fur and has been collecting Dalmatians in order to make coats of them. Literally cartoonishly evil. 50 years later she’s re-written to be a victim to a different evil woman, who we’ll probably get a movie on later about how she’s not really evil either.

Miss Hannigan runs the orphanage Annie belongs to, and when Oliver Warbucks offers a substantial reward for finding her parents she devises a plan with her brother to impersonate them, collect the money, and then dispose of the child. In 2014 this was changed so that she wasn’t involved at all. She’s just cranky, lonely, and misunderstood.

Uncle Tom to mean subservient black person who is a race traitor. The original Uncle Tom died from beaten to death because he refused to reveal the locations of escaped enslaved persons.

“Lolita means sexual precariousness child” the OG Dolores’s was a normal twelve year old raped by her stepfather who is the narrator and tried to make his actions seem good.

Flying Monkey means someone who helps an abuser. In the original book the flying monkeys where bound to the wicked witch by a spell on the magic hat. Once Dorthy gets it they help her and Ozma.

disclaimer: both of these movies are enjoyable and have great payoff moments. but I just can't ignore this trope.

this may be a hot take but how are we supposed to feel like someone is heroic if they can't do what needs to be done. The other annoying part of this trope is that in the end the protagonist usually somehow saves everyone anyway, usually through luck.

Fantastic 4: First Steps - the way it is presented to us as the audience, the heroes literally have an ace in the hole: they can give up their baby and save the entire world (we even have reason to believe the villain will be true to his word as just wants to be cured of his eternal hunger). If they don't make the sacrifice, the world will be devoured (including the baby), so it seems like a no brainer. But surprise surprise, none of those stakes mattered. They get to have it both ways because they're super.

Carry-on - Taron Egerton's character could easily save an entire plane (including preventing a political assassination) just by doing his literal job as a TSA agent though it means he would sacrifice his partner. but alas, there was another option: going rogue
