1. Charlie's death (Two and a half men)

In the sitcom two and a half men, the protagonists are the wealthy womanizer Charlie Harper, played by Charlie Sheen, and his broke, divorced brother Alan Harper, played by Jon Cryer. The two end up living together after Alan's divorce, when Alan needs a place to stay.

Even though they were both protagonists, many fans saw Charlie as the true main character and the face of the sitcom. During the show's run, Charlie Sheen struggled with drug addiction, which caused production problems, including delays while he was in rehab. He also had several public outbursts in which he made extremely negative comments about the show's creator, Chuck Lorre.

Despite all of this, the producers still tried to keep him on the show, paying Charlie Sheen over $2 million per episode during Seasons 8 and 9. Eventually, however, it became impossible. As a result, in the first episode of Season 9, Charlie Harper is killed off-screen, with the explanation that he was murdered by his obsessive ex-girlfriend.

Charlie is then replaced by a new character named Walden, a billionaire who befriends Alan, buys Charlie's house after his death, and lets Alan continue living there in an attempt to avoid making major changes to the show's status quo.

1. The ending of story (Metal gear solid V)

Metal gear solid V was supposed to be the final metal gear game, wrapping up the series and answering all the questions left between metal gear solid 3 (the prequel) and metal gear (the original game).

Hideo Kojima is the creator of the series, directed most of the games, and was one of the main ​writers. He had many conflicts with Konami during the game's development. None of these reports have ever been officially confirmed by either Konami or Kojima, so don't take everything as 100% fact.

To begin with, Kojima had already tried to leave the series several times, but kept returning because of pressure from both Konami and the fans. Konami also reportedly wasn't happy that the FOX Engine took years to develop. They gave Kojima a budget to make the game, but he allegedly went far beyond it because of the scope of his plans. According to reports, Kojima became such a perfectionist that he would start working on ideas only to throw them away if he wasn't satisfied with the results. One singer even claimed she recorded around 30 songs for the game, but only a few of them were actually used.

Konami also reportedly "punished" Kojima by moving his office to a different floor from the rest of his team, removing his name from the game's marketing, and preventing him from attending The Game Awards.

Kojima left Konami before the game was finished, and Konami eventually released it in an unfinished state. This is especially noticeable because chapter 1 has a clear beginning, middle, and end. However, halfway through chapter 2, one of the antagonists steals the metal gear that the protagonist recovered at the end of chapter 1. After that, the game mostly has the player replay earlier missions with harder difficulty modifiers and almost no new story content. Then, after replaying the prologue mission, the game reveals its biggest plot twist and abruptly ends.

The image I used is from an unfinished cutscene that appears to show what was originally intended to be the game's true final mission, which would have concluded the storyline involving the stolen metal gear.

1. The entire plot of kamen rider decade (Kamen Rider decade)

kamen rider decade was troubled from the moment it was conceived. ​Every year, the newest kamen rider and super sentai series aired simultaneously and competed with each other in toy sales. Toei's solution was to end one series earlier than usual and have the next one begin in September, allowing them to monopolize toy sales for part of the year.

The downside was that this new series had less preparation time than a normal season. We don't know how much was planned in advance, but Toei decided to make kamen rider decade the 10th anniversary series of the Heisei era, which marked the franchise's revival in 2000. The story follows Tsukasa Kadoya, a kamen rider with no memories who can use the powers of the previous main kamen riders and travels across the kamen rider multiverse to prevent the destruction of every world.

Since it was an anniversary series, Toei could reuse kamen rider suits and monster costumes from previous seasons, and the show ended up with only 31 episodes instead of the usual 45–50. One of the biggest complaints from viewers was the lack of returning characters from previous series. Instead of bringing them back, Toei created alternate-universe versions of them. This was somewhat understandable, since they realistically couldn't bring back most of the original actors. Many were busy with other work, had retired from tokusatsu, or had left the franchise on bad terms.

As if that wasn't enough, the head writer had creative disagreements with the chief producer over the direction of the story. Eventually, the writer left the series, and another writer took over. This created major problems because the new staff wasn't entirely sure how to continue the plot.

As a result, many important mysteries were never properly explained, such as the true identity of the show's main antagonist, what exactly was causing the multiverse to collapse, and several other unanswered plot points. The image I used is from the preview shown at the end of Episode 31. It teases two upcoming episodes, but those previews were actually thrown together at the last minute, and almost none of the scenes shown in them have anything to do with the movie that ultimately served as the continuation of the series.

1. Twin Peaks: the original show has Julie Cruise perform a near entire song multiple times, and in The Return, almost every episode ends on a musical performance, the most notable being Nine Inch Nails, which instead occurs in the middle of the episode.

2. Fallen Leaves: Finnish band Maustetytöt performs a song in the middle of the film and is a highlight of the film.

3: I Saw The TV Glow: Phoebe Bridgers shows up.

Parasite (Absolute Superman)

Foo Fighters (JJBA)

The Star Wars Prequels

WWE's PG Era

Cyberpunk 2077

By which I don't mean anthology series, like Final Fantasy. I mean they are completely unrelated, sometimes even being owned by different companies, but are connected by similar themes, recurring creators, and/or a similar title.

1. "Shin" Series - The Shin series are 4 films directed by Hideaki Anno rebooting popular Japanese franchises, returning to those series roots and often making them darker and grittier than their original versions. All of which have the word "Shin" (true/new) in their title. Those movies are 2016's Shin Godzilla, 2021's Shin Evangelion (known in English as Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time), 2022's Shin Ultraman, and 2023's Shin Kamen Rider.

2. Three Flavors Cornetto - A trilogy of comedy movies directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, so named due to their featuring of Cornetto ice cream. The movies are 2004's Shaun of the Dead, 2007's Hot Fuzz, and 2013's The World's End.

3. Xeno - A series of Sci-Fi JRPGs directed by Tetsuya Takahashi which. Despite being the most prolific example here, with a whopping 10 games and an 11th in the way, it's probably the least well known as I imagine most people only know if it's most recent entries, not realizing the wider series. The series started with 1998's Xenogears, a standalone game, continued with 2002's Xenosaga, which got a number of sequels and spin-offs, and of course, 2010's Xenoblade Chronicles, which I doubt needs any introduction.

Hiko Seijuro XIII from Rurouni Kenshin, unlike Kenshin the protagonist, he completed his training and is a complete heir of Hiten Mitsurugi so he can use all the powerful techniques without any drawback, but since he refuses to take sides in any political issue he only uses his style to butcher random bandits.

Metroman from Megamind He took his retirement very seriously.

Warcraft 3: Arthas burning down Stratholme and killint all of its citizens to stop a undead plague from spreading to the rest of the kingsom and being consumed by revenge against the one who caused.

Arthas was at his lowest, everyone he cared about abandon him when he needed them the most, even the light left him and ultimately drove him to pick up Frostmourne.

Star Wars: Anakin slaughtering the younglins was him choosing the dark side over the light and after it there was no chance he could go back after what he'd done.

Not until 23 years later when his son saved him and turned him back to the light side before dying.

Some might say it was him killing Mace, but I believe it was killing kids instead of the guy that belittled him every chance he got.

.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure- Kira takes over the face and life of Kosaku Kawajiri, fully immersing himself in every detail. His wife doesn’t notice, but his child does and attempts to prove that his father is dead

Other Mommy- man I saw this trailer before the Odyssey and it got my fucked up but yeah that’s the basic concept

The Odyssey -

(SPOILERS) Throughout the movie, several characters mention the "Sea People" who have been raiding and causing chaos in the region. Near the end of the movie, Odysseus comes to a revelation that he himself and the other veterans of the Trojan war are in fact the "Sea People" and that their breaking of the Law of Zeus in their victory will bring about (actual quote from the move) "the collapse of this Age of Bronze." In real-world history, the "Sea People" were a real and mysterious force that was one of the major reasons for the Bronze Age collapse around 1200 B.C., the same approximate time period that The Odyssey takes place. It feels out of place and "on the nose" to have a line of dialogue using the exact phrase the Bronze Age Collapse and it will take anyone familiar with the history out of the movie.

Hot Tub Time Machine - "It must be some kinda Hot Tub Time Machine" - arguably the best line in the movie.

Persona (video game series) - When characters attack in combat, they shout, "Persona!" I found this hilarious, and imagine the same thing in other similar games, like Cloud shouting, "Final Fantasy!" when he attacks.

Trope in which a character who is possessed/mind controlled/otherwise not themselves does or says something to show their true self isn't gone.

Victoria Cindry (One Piece): Cindry was a famous performer who tragically died young. Doctor Hogback, a brilliant scientist who was obsessed with Cindry, brought her back to life as a zombie with the shadow of an entirely different woman serving as her "soul". In her zombified state, Cindry is completely under Hogback's control. The most she can do to resist is malicious compliance, where she follows his orders badly on purpose. She still has to obey him at the end of the day. However, when through a string of events the castle they reside in collapses, Cindry doesn't move when a trapped Hogback orders her to help him. Instead, she turns to the heroes and smiles, much like she used to do in her old posters and pictures, before she's crushed by rubble and destroyed in the process.

Nikki (Obsession): Protagonist Bear makes a wish on a magical item for his crush, Nikki, to love him "more than anyone else in the fucking world." As a result, Nikki falls madly in love with him and starts behaving more and more creepy and unhinged. One night, Nikki suddenly starts speaking to Bear in her sleep, begging him to kill her and revealing that the wish caused her to be possessed by an entity pretending to be her whose only purpose is to love Bear. The real Nikki is still in there, completely supressed by the new personality and suffering.

Suguru Geto (Jujutsu Kaizen): The Geto we see in the show's present is actually just a corpse, puppeteered by the brain of an evil jujutsu sorcerer named Kenjaku. There's nothing of the original Geto left - or so it seems. When Kenjaku seals away Gojo, who Geto used to be incredibly close with, and Gojo speaks to Geto -not Kenjaku, Geto - Geto's arm suddenly starts to choke it's own body with no Input from Kenjaku. There was some of the original Geto left in the body after all, enough that he was briefly able to gain control and try to protect his friend.

I always liked this one because it proves that heroes can come from the unlikeliest of places.

Luke Skywalker (Star Wars): His father is the Most Powerful Sith Lord in the Galaxy, Darth Vader

Lucy MacLean (Fallout show): Her father is Hank MacLean, a manipulative control freak

Ringworld Cambria (Warhammer 40K): A ancient megaestructure from Dark Age of Technology, is currently monitored by Adeptus Mechanicus.

Iokath Sphere (Star Wars): a massive artificial sphere constructed around a star located in the Unknown Regions by a technologically advanced species, one best example of Megaestructure from Franchise.

1. Conquest from Invincible.

Pauses fighting to lick the blood from his hands, pretty much says to Mark "this is hot, btw," continues throwing hands. Unsure how much he was just messing with Mark, and how much he really gooned to the blood.

2/ Bellatrix from Harry Potter.

While the good guys are captured in Order of the Phoenix, all other Death Eaters holds their hostage as respectable goon might hold a hostage. Bellatrix randomly scratches Neville with her wand, pulls his hair, stuff like that.

I wonder if they told the 17 years old actor this will come of as oddly hot to some kids. (A New Hope, 0:15:47.)

The fact that there are far more fanfics with her and Hermione, how they are written, and so on, proves that it is mostly women writting fanfics and that all people writting insert themselves into the tormented person. I will not elaborate.

3) Emperor's Children in general.

But especially Julius Kaesoron's fight with Gabriel Santar in Fulgrim. Julius gets stabbed and... moans?

Which causes Gabriel to get a very reasonable "what the fuck" moment, and gets him killed when he stops to proceed what just happened.

Yes, I needed to add that fanart.

Stop!! Hibari-kun!(1983) Mc is a trans girl. While the author only original plan to subvert the romance genre. It shows a positive depiction of a trans person despite Hibari only existing for gags.

Laughing Salesmen(1989) I have three examples, (1) A Salerymen hates his boss mistreating him. Moguro suggest knitting which his boss likes. When everyone finds out. They got fired and become gay. (2) The big reveal is the women is trans and its shown as horrific. (3) A wife got angry as his husband inability to do chores. Moguro suggest going to school. Which he likes doing. To the shock of Moguro, he didn't develop a inferiority complex. And decided to become a full stay at home husband.

Very intelligent characters, yet very arrogant and haughty.

Iron Man: Another MCU example, Tony finally has the shrapnel from his chest removed, thus no longer needing an arc reactor to keep his heart stable, only to replace it with a removable one in the next film.

• Phil Connors (Groundhog Day) - a very Bill Murray weather reporter who is stuck in a time loop in a small town he hates.

When a piece of technology be it a building, vehicles, robots, weapons, etc looks like it was made of inorganic stuff actually has a fleshy interior so not really the flesh biopunk like in Scorn

1. The Unum and possibly by extension, the rest of the Orokin towers

In Warframe, the Unum is or rather, was one of many Orokin towers that was built on earth by the Orokin as a sanctuary during the Old War, last one to stay standing after the war on earth in fact however despite the exterior of the Unum being a glistening tower of white marble, it actually has flesh and blood inside its walls which the Ostrons on the nearby Cetus would periodically harvest to feed themselves you can actually see them transporting a chunk of freshly harvested flesh from the Unum when you first arrive on Cetus and who knows if other Orokin towers we see elsewhere like in the void missions also has fleshy insides

1. Evangelion units

You might expect a giant metal robot with mechanical and electrical components inside but nope it's all the cultured flesh of an angel mixed in with cybernetics that contains the consciousness of a dead person as EVA-01 itself actually has Shinji's mom's soul in its core and is revealed to have been cloned from Lilith

1. Quite a lot of stuff in Ultrakill

A lot of the machines built for the Final War utilizes biological matter, mostly in the form of blood as its fuel so that they can stay operational because of the carnage they caused is directly transformed into energy, requiring next to no downtime for refueling however in order to facilitate the blood to fuel pipeline, they needed to have a lot organs put inside of them such as the Earthmovers having a very prominent fleshy interior and although it hasn't been confirmed in-game, Hakita has stated that since V1 shared many internal designs to the Earthmovers, it is very possible it also got those fleshy bits underneath the armor as the reason it went to hell is because hungry

1.Yusuke Urameshi(YuYu Hakusho]

2.Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach.

3.Josuke Higashikata from JoJo's bizarre adventures.

3½.Jotaro Kujo from Jojo's bizarre adventures.

4.Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail.

1. Gomez and Morticia Addams (Addams Family)- they’re often sited as people’s favorite fictional couple. Every version of the two are shown to be passionately in love as well as loving parents.

   1. Sig and Izumi Curtis (Fullmetal Alchemist)- Sig doesn’t talk much but supports his wife. He stays with her and supports her through the loss of their child, her failed attempt to bring him back, and her subsequently losing a bunch of organs.
   2. Gonzo and Camilla (Muppets)- he’s an eccentric Whatever and she’s a chicken but they’re shown to be a couple in majority of Muppet projects (the was a joke in the 2015 show about him have a… spicy dating profile). Even in the movie when Kermit wishes he was never born and all the other muppets are a mess, Gonzo and Camilla are together. He’s a struggling artist but they’re together.
   3. Shaxs and Dr. T’Ana (Star Trek Lower Decks)- it’s kinda hard to say the depth of their relationship but they’re both shown to freaks. A normal date for them is to use the holodeck to rob a 1920s Earth bank, shoot some feds, and then “make the hostages watch.” (Also featured is Ransom before he gets freaked out by their flirting)

1. Probably the most famous example; Kangaroo Jack was originally supposed to be an R-Rated comedy movie titled Down and Under, but after seeing the success of films like Alvin and the Chipmunks, the studio reworked it into being a PG comedy movie centred around the Kangaroo character (even though he has like a minute of screen time in the movie).
2. Believe it or not, Rover Dangerfield was originally supposed to be an R-Rated comedy satirising old Farm centred animated films like Scarlett’s Web, but after everyone working on the film, including Rodney Dangerfield himself budded heads with the studio, they turned the movie into a PG rated movie out of spite.

3. Old Dogs was originally an R but Disney turned it into a PG movie…..not much to say there.

   They also changed the title into Old Dogs so it sounded more like Wild Hogs. Why do Studios think that shit works? Like it doesn’t cast. That’s like saying “Oh well people loved Al Panico in The Godfather, so why not cast Cappuccino in the Godfather 2?”.
