Captain Buccaneer’s smirk and salute when Major General Olivier Armstrong rolls out of the elevator in a fucking tank is arguable one of the best scenes in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
no offense but the soft uncertain kiss followed by a pause where the people look each other in the eyes and then fucking pull eachother back into a more passionate kiss will always be the most soul destroying trope , catch me lying on the fucking ground sobbing and rewatching The Scene™✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X
the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies
people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them
alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit
bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”
someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)
choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character
the “hands go down” trope
example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*
(in reference to the continents) “yeah it broke apart, don’t worry about it, happens all the time” same
“sweet dank valley"
“whoops half of Europe just died"
“wait! said Christopher Columbus probably smoking crack"
“damn, said amsterdam” *moment of silence to let the viewer think about that*
“you could make a religion out of that”
‘let’s overthrow the palace’ said robespierre, cutting everyone’s head off until someone eventually got mad and cut his head off- you could make a relig-no don’t “
The best part about that last one is that Robespierre actually did make a religion, the Cult of the Supreme Being, which was France’s official religion for about three months before someone got mad and cut his head off.
How could you forget
*loud rumbling sound* HOT
“Don’t worry about Rome, it won’t fall”
“That’s bullshit. This whole thing is bullshit. That’s a scam. Fuck the Church. Here’s 95 reasons why.”
“There’s the kid we know and love? And then there’s the motherfucker between the poles.” Shitty shrugged. “I dunno, Bits. You gotta be a lil’ nutty to get in the cage.”
“so what if that book had a bad movie adaptation? it’s impossible to make a completely satisfying movie version of a book, stop complaining!”
Wasn’t he fat tho
They considered letting Shia Lebeouf put on pounds before the filming, and lose them throughout the film, but that would have been extremely unhealthy, especially for an actor his age, so they decided to cut that aspect out.
