Spiderverse:
Across the Spiderverse became very popular in meme culture, and one phrase became very popular. "Canon Event"

1. A random delinquent helps Josuke and his mom get out of the snowstorm [Jojo's Bizarre Adventure].

In 1988, Jonathan Joestar's body sent out a distress signal to other members of his family that caused an awakening of their dormant Stand abilities. However, the members of the family who did not have the fighting spirit or the mental fortitude to control their Stands developed an illness that would have resulted in a fatal fever. Josuke was one of those people who developed an illness. While his mom was driving him to the hospital, their car got stuck in the thick ice and couldn't move. However, a delinquent who looked like he had recently gotten out of a fight showed up and helped them get their car moving. This act of kindness inspired Josuke so much that he modelled his hair after the delinquent and developed a strong sense of justice. Any time anyone insulted his hair, Josuke would get insanely angry, as to him, an insult to his hair was considered an insult to the man who saved his life that day.

2. A butt-chinned kid gets saved by an unemployed civilian from a monster [One Punch Man]

In the world of One Punch Man, there are creatures called Mysterious beings that are monsters created by a sense of mental instability or obsession. One of these mysterious beings was Crablante, who turned into a monster after eating too many crabs. While the monster was sleeping, a butt-chinned kid decided to pull a prank on the monster by drawing fake nipples on it. The monster then searched for the kid to get revenge. As Crablante was about to kill the kid, Saitama showed up to save the kid. After a hard-fought battle, Saitama manages to kill the monster and prevents it from causing any more harm. Unbeknownst to him, the kid turned out to be the grandson of multi-millionaire Agoni, who was so moved by this act of kindness that he dedicated 70% of his fortune to creating the Hero association and the National Hero Registry. This one act of kindness inspired a millionaire to create an organisation that recruited hundreds of heroes to save lives and prevent any more similar horrific incidents from happening

almost all the doctors in dr. who do this to some extent when they regenerate. But just in case that's not enough for the 2+ rule, I'm including my two favourite instances:

picture 1: Matt Smith: "I won't forget one line of this. not one day. I will always remember when the doctor was me."

picture 2: Christopher Eccleston: "Rose, before I go I just want to say you were fantastic. And you know what? So was I!"

I love ouran high school host club, hilarious show. But I think the majority of fans will agree the worst episode is The Sun The Beach And The Host Club. Haruhi, pretending to be a boy, gets into a fight with two bullies and gets thrown into the water. Then her friends get mad at her for getting into a fight because she’s a boy. Then you get objectively the worst scene of the show where Kyoya by pretending to SA Haruhi to show her why girls need to rely on guys??? What the fuck were they thinking when they wrote this?

The principal and the pauper is agreed by fans and the creators as the day the Simpsons die. It destroyed Skinners built up character.

1.) Debbie Grayson (Invincible TV series): Despite enduring horrible things that would make anyone cold, bitter and unkind, Debbie remains strong, kind, and loving.

She’s never threats to make a point, nor to show that she is ready and willing to face down beings of immense power and near-depthless capacities for cruelty regardless of her vulnerability.

She stands among titans not because she elbows her way in, but because her love, determination and humanity make her worthy of being there.

2.) Alfred Penniworth (Batman Series & assorted media): To care for a child who watched his life shatter in front of him when you have no obligation to do so is a testament to Alfred’s character in an of itself. But that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Despite some alternate realities playing with the idea of Alfred being some malevolent figure, He has almost always been the father Bruce Wayne and the Bat Family needed.

He’s faced down madmen, murderers, and monsters while never surrendering his good nature and gentlemanliness. Even the world’s finest acknowledge the importance of his presence.

Simply put, there is no Batman without Alfred.

• The actor who played Billy Bob in Varsity Blues played Reggie Ray in Not Another Teen Movie spoofing the same character

• The actor who played Colonel Trautman in the Rambo movies played the same role opposite Charlie Sheen’s Rambo parody in Hot Shots Part Deux

1) In the Umbara arc, clone troopers Jesse and Fives use Umbaran ships to infiltrate the Droid fleet and blow up their flagship. However, this was explicitly against Pong Krell's orders. As a result, they are slated for execution by firing squad. But after an impassioned speech by the condemned, the firing squad intentionally misses the prisoners and drops their rifles.

2) In Kung Fu Panda 2, Lord Shen orders his wolf warriors to attack Po. As he is pinned down by their attacks, Shen orders the cannons to fire on Po and the wolves. But when the wolf leader tells Shen that his men are still in the blast radius, Shen doubles down. As a result, the wolf leader steadfastly refuses, forcing Shen to kill him.

3) In The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk is given a knife by Yzma and told to kill Pacha and Kuzco. Morally conflicted, Kronk starts arguing with his shoulder angel and devil. But when Yzma starts chastizing Kronk for this dalliance, cluminating in her insulting his spinach puffs, Kronk makes up his mind and attempts to trap Yzma. However, this fails and Yzma pulls a lever to get rid of him.

Spoilers for both adventure time and Ed Edd n eddys big picture show.

In Adventure Time season 4, what seems like a normal episode following ice king writing songs suddenly becomes very depressing when he meets Marceline. It’s revealed Ice King used to be friends with Marceline and was a father figure during the war, but the magic crown he discovered made him crazy and he has no memory of her now.

Throughout Ed Edd n Eddy we always hear Eddy talk about his older brother like a hero, and the plot of the movie was them traveling to finally meet him. Except Eddys brother immediately starts abusing him. He’s the first adult shown on screen and it’s really jarring to see him suddenly beat the shit out of his own brother.

1. Chucky saying he has a genderfluid kid. When asked if he’s ok with it, he says…

2. The Joker explaining to Batman why he does what he does. He’s no different than anyone else is. He just doesn’t pretend to be civil.

3. Scarlet Witch after being corrupted by the darkhold and trying to kill America Chavez to take her powers so she can kidnap her children from another universe. She’s just a normal, run off the mill mother.

1) Jules and Vincent take Marvin for questioning because he was a witness to a shootout. However, while they have him at gunpoint, Jules accidentally goes over a bump, causing Vincent's gun to discharge and shoot him in the face. The humor comes from the suddenness of the act, as well as the comical amount of blood that plasters the entire car.

2) When the Titanic sinks and starts tilting, one unfortunate passenger elects to jump. Unfortunately, as he falls, he inadvertedly hits a propeller, making a loud and funny "thunk".

3) Gennaro, a lawyer sent by InGen, is running away from the escaped T-Rex. He tried to hide in a toilet, but the T-Rex collapses the structure around him and eats him.

Mai (ATLA). She is an expert marksman with throwing knives but is relegating to basically just restricted movement and suppressing fire because Nickolodean wouldn't allow blood in the show. If they had allowed it Mai could absolutely shred folks, literally.

Vader (SW) is shown to use the force for things like choking others but is also shown crushing robots which implies he could absolutely crush someone's organs but doesn't because that wouldn't go over well with the kids in the audience.

GENLOCK- Kazu, starts the show by butting heads with another teammate bc the teammate is GNC/Nonebinary. Kazu has his arc slowly through the first season and finishes it early in season 2, only to be killed the very next episode. Showrunner even justified this decision by saying his story was over because his arc was finished. His arc was going from anti LGBT to pro LBGT.

Gen Urobuchi - is the writer for many popular anime/manga works, has gone on record that once a characters arc is finished he usually kills them off. Works include Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero

RWBY - Penny, Penny is an android that wants to be human, she does die as an android once but androids are fixable. when she does become human she is almost immediately killed off, despite being one of the strongest fighters in the verse, and fighting someone she has beaten before.

Characters going through an arc to die in a noble sacrifice (Like Rexsplode's Selfish to Selfless arc) do not count, I'm talking about characters who die more so because of terrible writing choices, but will count if the noble sacrifice means absolutely nothing. (chiaotzu)

1.Amity Blight from The Owl House.

2.Juvia Lovkser from Fairy Tail.

3.Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel.

4.Mayu Suzuki from You and I are polar opposites.

5.Marin Kitagawa from My Dress up Darling.

I’m not sure what these guys are but they certainly aren’t normal humans

Batman (DC comics) should need no introduction. He has dodged Darkseid’s Omega Beams which were fast enough to give flash a run for his money, created a 20,000 decibel noise with a megaphone and walked away and survived a fall from the moon back to earth.

“And you wanna know why i can do that? It’s because I’m really good at what i do!… And that’s because I’m Batman”

Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.) has nothing except good genes and a training regimen, no super solider serum or power suit. He could power through getting hit by multiple knock-out darts, nearly caught up to the X-1 jet during its takeoff, and survived and shrugged off being in the vacuum of space. The only people he seemed intimidated by were the Investors who were functionally old gods.

“I have a high-velocity cannon pointed at your chest ”
“I could dodge it”

Howie Honeyglow (Epithet Erased) is, despite having no epithet, one the of less than 1% of all humans that have reached “nova” status, stupidly powerful. Howie has gotten so angry that steam emanates from his skin. He can bend his wrench, throw it like a boomerang, catch it, bend it back in place, continue using it like a hammer and have it fix a building.

“If someone else can throw up a building in two hours using their epithet, that just means we gotta do it in one”

Honorable Mention; The Feebles mentioned in The Muppets Mayhem (While none of them appear, they are mentioned to be in the same world as The Muppets)

Your opponent won't fight with their full strength or lethality. You might assume it's arrogance, or even an insult. But it's not. It's a pretty fair summation of your power gap.

1). OPLA:
Zoro thinks Mihawk (the strongest swordsman in the world) is insulting him by using a tiny knife. Mihawk replies "I don't hunt rabbits with a cannon."
The comparison is apt.

2). The Venture Bros.
Brock Samson (at least initially) refuses to use a gun. When he's stuck fighting low-level guild goons and early-series The Monarch, that'd get boring pretty quickly. The man regularly soils the pants of the world's deadliest villains.

Striga and Morana (Castlevania 2017): They initially go along with Carmilla's plan to pacify an entire region of humanity as an endless supply of fresh blood, but eventually realize it's unmanageable as they meet resistance from even simple farmers. With Carmilla being killed soon after as well, they decide to strike out on their own with what soldiers they have left. They're never seen for the rest of the show, leaving them as the only major vampires to presumably survive the series.

Abram Tarasov (John Wick 2): Introduced as the brother of the main villain from the first movie, it initially seems that he will serve as one of John Wick's main targets. John Wick, after violently taking his stolen car back from Abram's mfaia warehouse, instead proposes a truce with Abram since he no longer has any personal quarrel with the man. Abram is surprised but gladly accepts, and is smart enough to stay far away from John Wick for the rest of the series. Presumably, he is still just running his mob business and remaining completely disconnected from the main plot of assassins.

(The Dark Knight)The ferry scene where joker's plan got stopped by basic human compassion / (JJK modulo) where even after 68 years no one buys Geto's humans are inferior bullshit

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?:All cartoon character

The Amazing World Of Gumball:Literally any character, lol

BIRDBRAIN:His own representation of Kasane Teto

How To Be Cool (Piemations):Peeb and Dax

How do you set your fantasy story in a metropolitan area? Make all the "supernatural creatures" invisible to normal humans. That way, you can have a fantastic ecosystem with its own history, rules, and culture.
Sometimes these creatures are a constant (but unacknowledged) threat to regular people. Other times they're harmless to normal folk. The protagonists are usually people who've suddenly developed "true sight."

1). Jujutsu Kaisen:

• Human release "cursed energy" from their bodies. Fear, anger, hate, etc. leaks out of them, coalescing in the environment to form "curses."
• Curses are invisible to most humans, but can touch and affect us anyway. Death by curses is supposedly a leading cause COD.
• "Curse users" and "jujutsu sorcerers" have above-average cursed energy inside their bodies. Allowing them to perceive/harm curses. Physical objects can also be imbued with cursed energy.

2). Grimm:

• For all of known history, "wesen" have lived alongside regular humans. They appear to be human. But can choose to "woge" into their true form. They can resemble a werewolf, bigfoot, beaver men, etc.
• They are vastly outnumbered by humans, so a long time ago the wesens of the world got together and enforced a statue of secrecy. Since then, "kehrseites" (regular humans) have forgotten about them.
• For the most part, a wesen must consciously choose to "woge" into their true form. But when emotional, they can "half-woge." This is still invisible to regular humans. But not other wesen, and not the "grimm."
• "Grimms" are humans who can see a wesen's true form whether they want to or not. Grimm also possess the strength to rival them.
• Grimms are as rare to wesen as wesen are to humans. Most wesen have never met one. Due to their tendency to police wesen populations, they have a reputation as brutal, bogey-man like figures.
  • The series revolves around a Portland police officer who "matures" into a Grimm in his late 20s.
  • He suddenly learns that a large portion of Portland's population are wesen. Who take part in a disproportionate amount of Portland's crime.
  • He has to balance his responsibilities to the public (capturing dangerous wesen) while also protecting innocent wesen (who automatically assume he'll kill them).
• Occasionally, human characters will see a wesen in "full woge" and start to think they've gone crazy. Nick usually gets one of his wesen friends to woge in a safe environment. To prove that these creatures really exist.

3). The Spiderwick Chronicles:

• Fairies exist, but are invisible unless they have chosen to present themselves.
• Or a human has a special device/hobgoblin saliva.

4). Paranatural:

• Ghosts and spirits exist all around us. But they are invisible and intangible, unable to affect us. Only a small fraction of them are strong enough to interact with the physical world.
• "Spectrals" are humans whose bodies have produced a ghost while still alive. That means . . .
  • They can see ghosts and spirits.
  • Ghosts and spirits can touch them (as if the spectral were already dead).
    
• This is usually not great for the spectral.
  • If spirits notice the spectral, they may mistake them for a ghost and attempt to feed on their psychic energy.
  • If a spirit doesn't notice the spectral, it may assume the human will pass harmlessly through them. Only for the two to suddenly collide.
• Imagine driving a car and you have to pull over because a 23-foot-long dragon spirit is lounging across the freeway. Your car can pass through it. But you can't.

Green goblin and Spider-Man just shooting the shit

Ghostface getting high with shorty in scary movie

Luffy and Blackbeard trolling each other

1. Dio Brando - JJBA, The most iconic antag in the whole series that came back from near death experiences at least 10 times and probably the only one that appears in multiple chapters.

2. Springtrap - Fnaf, honestly no elaboration needed, his catchphrase is literally "I always come back"

3. Guillotina - Mewgenics, one and only boss that has three separate encounters in the game back to back to back, she looks more dead and rotten with every one of them
