Rincewind.
This feels like cheating.
Road Runner. Pretty sure it was literally one of the rules the writers had for the show.
Road Runner ran so the rest of us could relate to Coyote:
Goku. DBZ constantly reverses deaths by turning it into another form of training.
Jesus. no wine? miracle. dead friend? raise em up. not enough food? miracle some up. get crucified? rise from the dead.
the whole letting himself get captured plot was so out of left field.
Don’t forget the cringy cult like fanbase.
And the wild fanfic.
no wine? miracle.
Metaphor for conspiracy.
dead friend? raise em up.
Metaphor for a friend leaving the cult and coning back. See “X is dead to me”
not enough food? miracle some up.
Metaphor for inciting wealth redistribution
get crucified?
Brother.
rise from the dead.
Metaphor for leaving cult, but coming back for transition when terms of separation were agreed.
Mr Bean
Thread over. The only three correct answers are Mr Bean, Mr Magoo, and Inspector Gadget.
All other answers are wrong.
One Punch Man.
It’s his entire schtick.
OPM is what you get when somebody asks themselves, what would the story be for someone that is completely, totally, absolutely, and indefatigably invincible in every regard?
In my defense, I have not seen the third season yet.
I feel like King fits more. OPM is depressed Superman, but King is literally taking all the credit and get out of deadly situations alive by being at the right place at the right time
No because he’s constantly terrified and lives in ultimate fear.
Plot armor has nothing to do with fear or bravery, though. King constantly gets out of situations that absolutely should have killed him. Situations that he was not actually equipped to handle. But he’s not only alive, but completely unscathed (with the exception of his one scar)
Except that’s his whole character arc. That’s literally his entire purpose. A normal human being placed into situations where you are dead only to be saved by one reoccurring character our hero.
So one might say the only reason he gets through those is… The plot requires it?
I don’t think that’s plot armor. It is just character design. They don’t keep him alive for plot reasons, the whole plot is that he is not defeated, ever.
It’s hilarious. It’s also different. I enjoyed all three.
It did disappoint a lot of people, and that’s fine too.
They put the bar too high up with the quality of season 1. I haven’t watched season 2 and 3 but still read the manga sometimes (not the web version. No offense but I couldn’t get on board with the art lol).
Kenny from South Park?
I love Akira but Kaneda has serious plot armor. He gets shot at by soldiers with automatic weapons countless times and survives. That and the collapsing buildings, psychics, and other hazards he just shrugs off. Meanwhile, Chiyoko gets stabbed by some random scumbag.
Rick Sanchez.
He’s supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren’t as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than how smart they can write him, to preserve his in-universe superior intelligence.
He can make anything out of anything. He has cybernetic implants that can do anything the plot needs.
I actually like the show (a social crime in 2026) but being an overpowered, plot armored, walking deus ex machina is his gimmick.
Isn’t that part of the plot though? He’s super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid
Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren’t hyper-intelligent themselves.
Its also a plot point in (after the recast) that he did this to himself. Evil Morty’s goal was to escape the cluster of multi-verses that Rick curated where he was the smartest person in that universe. I like the newer plot driven episodes, but writing this im noticing that while I like the show as its airing, I have never really rewatched it…
The intelligence to curate universes to ensure you’re the smartest person in them is like some sort of self sustaining Gary Stu feedback loop.
A social Crime ? I get it but I love Rick and Morty and I miss Roiland doing stuff. I’m so tired of the hiperconsequencialism …
hes basically a god in his part of the multiverse(finite curve), up until he met the “god-dinosaurs”. assuming the show is going to explore universes outside the curve, htere might be other beings that are equivalent to his. the only thing he couldnt do is resurrect his wife.
James Bond
"We have all the time in the world."😭😭😭😭😭
The Winchester brothers. They gave up even pretending as the show went on and just embraced the absurdity.
More than that, it actually became a canon feature / plot point.
Yeah, for those who don’t know, in the last season (spoiler ahead)
spoiler
Basically god reveals basically all universes were basically attempts at crafting a winchester story, God basically turns off their plot armor and their car breaks down, Dean gets sick from eating stupidly unhealthy crap, their car breaks down, their infinite money credit card stops working, dean needs a dentist.
Thats a lot of basicallies though 👀
King (one punch man)
Mr. Magoo
Daniel Jackson
He may die a fair bit, but he won’t stay dead for long.
When he gets his funeral card punched 10 times his next one is free.
Wolverine, who completely regenerated from a single drop of blood.
Does that, uh, mean that every time he bleeds he clones himself?
Not just blood…
Why you think he’s so grumpy all the time? He can’t risk a single drop of semen becoming an army of wolverines.
In one of the Frozen short films, Elsa creates an army of living snowmen by sneezing
Truly a #nofap for the sake of humanity
