My very favorite trope though

why-bless-your-heart:

When characters A and B are facing some danger and character A puts out an arm to protect character B

Good variations:

-Character B doesn’t realize the danger until character A puts out his or her arm
-Character A isn’t the larger or stronger character but still takes responsibility for character B’s safety
-Character A doesn’t stand a chance against the danger
-Character A continues talking like there isn’t anything wrong while standing between character B and the threat
-Character A doesn’t get along with character B and/or vice versa
-The danger is comically minor
-Character A has seemed helpless or bumbling but is now revealing inner depths and hidden strength

other good variations:

-character B is injured

-character A is injured but trying to be protective anyway

-character B gets annoyed when they realize what character A is doing

Nuff said.

I like Bungie’s design for aliens because the ornate armor and helmets they wear makes them look seriously cool and sinister but underneath the helms their ugly little dorks and thats what aliens should be

cortnan:

ignoring halo 5… i always liked the implication that the promethean motifs in john’s armor in halo 4 were there bc cortana – destined to be the ultimate promethean (ie the perfect combination of mind and matter) – implemented them w/o totally realizing it, on an “instinctual” level much like john and forerunner tech……..

anyway ur-promethean theory is still very much alive whether 343i likes it or not !
