Topic | Best of the Trope Season 2: Day 197 - Acrofatic |
GavsEvans123 07/05/19 4:28:21 PM #3: | Today's trope is Acrofatic. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Acrofatic This is when a fat or heavy character is much Faster Than They Look. After some chuckles from the audience, they reveal that they can maneuver like a gymnast, sprint like an Olympic runner, or kick you like Bruce Lee. This trope is likely a subversion of the Mighty Glacier and the idea that someone large is automatically slower because of their size. May intersect with Stout Strength if the character is also strong and tough, although being merely fast and easily hurt is not unheard of. The character may be a Heavyworlder, explaining some of their ability and density. TL,DR: This character is fast and agile, despite being fat. Nominations: Bob (Tekken) Obelix (Asterix) Kingpin (Marvel Comics) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
