From movies to TV shows to literature to video games, stories are often built around repeated elements and we're here to talk about them all!In 2023, video games are more impressive than ever, they make billions of dollars, and they're played by people all over the world...so why are they so male and white? Every videogame protagonist looks like he'd have no trouble getting a business loan, even as more and more female developers and creators of color enter the industry. Is there just something about clapping on the downbeat that appeals to gamers or is there something more dangerous at work?

From movies to TV shows to literature to video games, stories are often built around repeated elements and we're here to talk about them all!Every single time that two superheroes meet...they have to fight. Every damn time. But why? Mistaken identity? Establishing dominance? Union rules?

This week, in addition to talking about the presence of this trope across all media, we're tackling the granddaddy superhero fight of all-time, the legendary and seminal "The Dark Knight Returns"!Now we see the violence inherent in the system!Check out Sailor Moon and anime podcast, Sailor Noob!http://www.twitter.com/noob_sailorCelebrate guilty pleasure movies with Kal on Craft Disservices!http://www.craftdisservices.comStrive with us on Facebook and Twitter and on our Discord!http://www.facebook.com/justenoughtropehttp://www.twitter.com/justenoughtropehttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfFollow our live stream adventures on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_yQ1TlPULKRSrlZa6JgtA/videosBuy us kryptonite on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/justenoughtropehttps://ko-fi.com/justenoughtrope
Welcome to the all-new Just Enough Trope, the podcast where we explore the reasons that your favorite media is the way it is. From movies to TV shows to literature to video games, stories are often built around repeated elements and we're here to talk about them all!Time loops in media are scenarios where the protagonist is trapped in a day or place and sees the world round him resetting itself over and over again (and again). Sometimes it's a narrative about self-improvement, sometimes it's a fitting punishment, and sometimes it's just plain fun. We're here to identify the types of time loop stories, what they want to say, and to highlight one in particular: "Through the Flash" by author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.Vampires are time-travelers!Check out Sailor Moon and anime podcast, Sailor Noob!http://www.twitter.com/noob_sailorCelebrate guilty pleasure movies with Kal on Craft Disservices!http://www.craftdisservices.comChat with us (again and again) on Facebook and Twitter and on our Discord!http://www.facebook.com/justenoughtropehttp://www.twitter.com/justenoughtropehttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfFollow our live stream adventures on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_yQ1TlPULKRSrlZa6JgtA/videosBuy us a clock radio on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/justenoughtropehttps://ko-fi.com/justenoughtrope

From movies to TV shows to literature to video games, stories are often built around repeated elements and we're here to talk about them all!On our inaugural episode, we're tackling one of the most recognizable tropes in recent cinematic history. Picture a man, ounumbered by foes, low on ammo, trapped in one location with his loved ones' lives in the balance, and maybe he needs a pair of shoes? Die Hard exploded onto the movie scene in the late 1980's and has been influencing the shape of the action film ever since. We're here to talk about all 5 Die Hard films, review the (possible?) first "Die Hard", and look at the ways in which Die Hard continues to remind us that good action movies are about stakes and vulnerability.Yippie-ki-yay, mothercaster!Check out Sailor Moon and anime podcast, Sailor Noob!http://www.twitter.com/noob_sailorCelebrate guilty pleasure movies with Kal on Craft Disservices!http://www.craftdisservices.comBe the monkey in our wrench on Facebook and Twitter and on our Discord!http://www.facebook.com/justenoughtropehttp://www.twitter.com/justenoughtropehttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfFollow our live stream adventures on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_yQ1TlPULKRSrlZa6JgtA/videosBuy us Twinkies on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/justenoughtropehttps://ko-fi.com/justenoughtrope
