Trope Talk: Tone Armor
You know how in some stories characters don't even bleed while in others they fully explode? This is about that!

After watching this THEN a few episode of Batman Beyond - can confirm that THIS IS REAL. NELSON THE JOCK BULLY SHOULD'VE UP AND *DIED* IN ONE OF THE EPISODES I WATCHED, BUT HE DIDN'T DUE TO TONE ARMOR!
It does make a lot of sense. Makes me think of a movie I saw at uni which was all about two neighbours from different backgrounds on a new building and how their personalities, tastes and morals clashed in conversations; at the end of the movie robbers enter the building and kill one of them. My professor wouldn't understand I found that jarring and that the foreshadowing of at one point buying an alarm in case of robbers didn't alleviate the tonal shift.
Also, poor baby Red in that flashback! Doctor Who will do that, yes.
Huh, you’ve hit on something pretty interesting here. Do you think that’s why brutal violence in a cartoony looking environment with talking animals very so uncomfortable when the same violence in something like game of thrones would barely be a shock?
I’m kind of amazed you called s4 of yu-gi-oh the objective best season when I’ve seen so many people say they hate it. I respect it!! still somewhat amazed
Well it made for a pretty good season of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged at the very least. “I’m going to try seducing this computer.” “I still after you for the crimes your adoptive father was vaguely associated with!”
