Make sure it’s not too general, please!


I love seeing movies where an apartment/house previously seen as inhabited turns out to look completely different without the implication of someone freshly moving out or be completely abadonned for too long to had looked like this at the time of previous insepction.


Movie I know of where it has happened

They Cloned Tyrone had this happen and I loved it so much.


I think I remember seeing this trope at least twice in some horror movies, but I don’t remember their titles. It always gets my attention.

This applies to movies, games, comics etc

I really like when there’s some kind of super form the main character has that’s difficult to control/can only be used temporarily, and by the end of their character arc they are just permanently in that state/can be effortlessly

For example, banner and hulk merging into professor hulk and just being able to chill in that state

Or Goku and gohan getting to the point where they can just chill and go about their daily lives in super Saiyan

spoiler ::: spoiler Or eda from the owl house (spoiler)

when she gets her harpy form. Especially cool because she’s also lost her magic but doesn’t really need it to be badass anymore

Oh, I like this one too, at least on paper, specifically the one where they’re in the form permanently.

discussing the spoiler stuff

I’m not into Marvel so I didn’t know Hulk was perma-Hulkd. I also didn’t continue watching the Owl House, because I’ve heard they cancelled it. I might have to look up when I last watched and catch up, because it sounds really cool. :)

They finished owl house, it got cancelled but they made 3 hour long episodes to finish it off that are pretty cool still

Sorry if I spoiled you on the marvel stuff I had assumed that was common knowledge at this point

Basically the part of movies where the characters come to realise their whole life or perception of the world was a deception.

Example Spoilers:

  • Truman show at the end when the boat hits the studio wall
  • The Island when EM and SJ run out of their compound and they realise it was a hologram
  • The Matrix when Neo wakes up in the power plant

I knew nothing about The Island and that reveal was amazing

When a woman needs a plumber. Even better when they the younger brother can get involved, but not really necessary for every scene, I’m just a Luigi fan.

As a plumber I haven’t yet seen a movie/commercial with a realistic plumbing scene and the inaccuracies drives me crazy.

My two “favourite” ones are when they’re using a giant wrench to tighten the p-trap under the sink and then water starts spraying everywhere as if there’s pressurized water in the sewer lines. Another one is when smoke sets up spriklers and usually all of them at the same time. Also that the water coming out of those is always clean (it’s black sludge in reality)

I love watching doctors really about how stuff in movies doesn’t like up with realty. Thinking about your comment, now I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy watching any profession explain that sort of thing.

I want a plumbing scene to look like a hacking scene.

Plumbing can be intense at times. Water is kinda like fire and there’s potential for very expensive damages.

As a musician, most scenes with characters “playing” an instrument are ridiculous. I mean, they do all this research for rolls, but they can’t be bothered to figure how to put their mouth on the instrument and some basic things that make it look like they’re really playing?
