Me: I sure am hearing a lot about this Cruelty Squad game!

Me: I wonder what new and exciting ideas it explores! Guess I'll check the TVTropes page!

“No one has ever gotten rich by improving other people’s lives!”

Huh?

Wow, that’s crazy! 

Hey, Siri, who’s the biggest organ trafficking orgqanization in the world?

Right, while I'm on the subject, fandom please learn the difference between an anti-hero, an anti-villain, and a sympathetic villain.

Anti-hero: A protagonist who lacks traditional heroic qualities and nobility, but ultimately works towards good or better ends within the world of their narrative. Can be pretty reprehensible as an individual depending on the cynicism of the story and world they inhabit (i.e. The Punisher, The Bride from Kill Bill, Batman in certain incarnations), but often develops more into a hero classic in more idealistic works (see: Han Solo, Wolverine, also Batman again depending on writer/incarnation).

Anti-villain: An antagonist who, while nominally opposing the goals of the protagonist, has a core of nobility and traditional heroic qualities, or understandable sympathetic motivations. Is a "bad actions, good motives" character but approaches the issue from the opposite end of the spectrum as an anti-hero. Again depending on the cynicism/idealism of the work and the character's actions may complete a Heel Face Turn and ultimately become more like a protagonist or hero classic (Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender) or make a slide into full-on villany (Thrawn, several incarnations of Magneto). Many Well-Intentioned Extremists fall under this umbrella, along with a lot of Lawful Evil characters, but whether the label applies to them or not depends on how heinous the actions they take within the story are. Generally there is an in-narrative "line" these characters cannot cross before their evil actions outweigh their noble or sympathetic motives.

Sympathetic villain: A villain who has sad, tragic, affable, understandable or sympathetic qualities which makes them pitiable and/or likeable. While similar to an anti-villain, and they may start out as one, the major difference is that this character has already chosen, or repeatedly chooses, to cross the aforementioned narrative "line" within the story. They are a villain who "has a sad", basically. (Examples include Darth Vader, Mr. Freeze, and Megamind--who as a bonus is operating as a Villain Protagonist.)

There is obviously some gray area and as I've mentioned some characters slide up and down the whole range and gamut depending on how they're written but I promise they are in fact separate categories.

I used to frequent tv tropes A LOT. I quickly became familiar with the term ‘Woobie’. It’s a term used to describe a pitiful character who you feel sorry for. People ‘woobify’ characters in fandom, like in canon they’re bad but in canon they’re sympathetic in canon works as a lot of bad things happen to them (like Draco Malloy). Obvs woobification js not necessarily a bad thing— some Draco writers put more thought into Draco than JK Rowling did— but can be used negatively when people use it for head-canons being canon, etc.

I’m very familiar with it and used to reference it, but since tvtropes has become less popular I see it less and is generally irrelevant.

Anyway, supposedly the term ‘woobie’ being used on tvtropes appeared to be derived from a term for a military blanket that the American army uses. It’s basically like a security blanket. The nickname Woobie? From the film ‘Mr Mom’, where there is child with a security blanket he doesn’t want to get rid of. The child that held the Woobie? Played by Taliesin Jaffe.

Weird Tal lore, lol.

I’d really, really love to know why “some people” think an atheist can’t write a Christian character. Heck, that sounds a lot like prejudice against atheists, and I say that as a Christian.

Especially since I’m pretty sure Whedon had written multiple Christians by the time he made Avengers.

Are there people who think all atheists are like the stereotypical reddit atheist?

The tvtropes editor had a valid point, but I’m not sure why it’s in Fridge Brilliance. This isn’t some sort of deep realization about the show. This is just basic writing.
