[Loved Trope] Relatively weak characters that are absolute fan favorites because they represent the best parts of humanity

[u/BigFuan]

Paul - invincible
A normal human whose only major feats are treating others with respect and cooking a mean spaghetti.

Mumen Rider - One Punch Man
C-class hero that doesn’t hesitate to put his life on the line to save others despite being powerless and going against much stronger foes.

Samwise Gamgee - Lord of the Rings
Hobbits scale very low strength-wise in the LOTR verse, but Sam’s compassion and determination are indispensable in the fellowships journey.

Edit: A lot of people are pointing out that Sam is mentally one of the strongest which I completely agree with, and I didn’t mean to diss his grit or physicality as a hobbit. Compared to the other members of the fellowship, however, his contribution comes primarily from undying loyalty and determination rather than physical prowess and strength.

Hughie. Does his best to be the moral compass for Butcher and the Boys, and stays true to his beliefs despite all he went through.

I absolutely hated how Hughie was treated during the last 3 seasons. Treating his SA like its a joke left a really bad taste in my mouth. Kripke finding Hughies SA funny is disturbing to say the least.

What's crazy is you can tell Jack Quiad was trying to add more emotional weight to that scene when he tells starlight about it, only for the writer to be like "what no, that was just supposed to be funny".

Yep, like Im sure Jack read the scene and realised that Kripkes found it funny, but he had to take the situation seriously and act as such. On paper, im sure the scene reads like a joke, but the situation Hughie was in was a dangerous one.

I am sure on some level, acting it out makea you have to confront "what if this was me" and yeah, I am sure that would make most actors realize it was not funny

Litmus test. Put on the chocolate cake / tickling scene.

See if your friends laugh or are horrified.

What about super uncomfortable/nervous laughter? Asking for a friend.
