When you hear the dog barking outside, and they’re like “What’s gotten into Sparky?” and then there’s like a little yelp and no more barking. Man, fuck that.
Give us the horror movie we really want. Everyone dies but the dog.
Right? This is why I respect Jason he won’t kill a praying child or a dog.

That dog’s name? Albert Lincoln.
it’s because the big bad gave the dog a nice treat and they’re yelping for joy

So this is a trope called women in refrigerators. Basically a women in the Protagonists life is killed or attacked in some way in order to give the Male lead the initiative to do something. Once you notice it you’ll see it everywhere. Action movies are the worst about it.
Literally the start of Fallout 4, if played by a male protagonist.
Not really. For one thing, the husband gets clapped instead if you pick female, so it’s Spouse in a Fridge, not an observation on sexism in media, for another all the plot and dialogue revolves around you finding your stolen infant and not finding vengeance for the spouse.
I legit wondered what you were talking about because it’s been so long since I’ve had anything to do with the main quest line.

Yep. I detest it. Biggest personal examples in my nerdy life I can think of: Mara Jade, and the main female leaders from the first Borne movie. Example 1 I love Mara Jade in Timothy Zahn’s work and honestly have very little experience with her outside of it, while the second is just a set of movies where this stood out to me.
This is what I loved about the first John Wick - they moved the whole trope onto the dog symbolising his wife and it worked so much better.
Spiderman and uncle ben
That still relies on building up the relationship Peter has with his uncle and showing him to be a good soul so you’d feel the death. The genius of using a puppy is that you don’t have to spend almost time explaining the relationship. It’s a puppy. Of course he’s gonna go murder everyone now.
Yeah, it seems like such a predictable way to make the protagonist have “nothing to lose” and allow him to do something crazy without abandoning his family. It’s way overdone.
And they ask themselves how did I get here?
And the days go by
Water flowing underground
There is water at the bottom of the ocean!
Happy families are all well and good until each family member gets headbit by a xenomorph.
When you know the star of the movie is playing a cold-blooded killer, but the star is happy and domesticated at the start of the movie.
Greek Tragedy Mode initiated…
I thought this meme was about having a newborn and still looking beautiful & being caring. I have a 1yo and I’m still a mess most days.
Right there with you.
