Had an idea for a gimmick superhero character... say hello to the off-season hero, the One Trick Pony, Brandon Rumby! Genuinely really fun to design him

Hypocrite that I am, yes. I have been ‘keeping up’ and I CALLED that Gwen was gonna end up in that position. Way back in the first episode. I swear to god. None of y’all are gonna believe me but I did. Bite me.

How is bojack more loyal to diane?

It's demonstrated in many ways throughout the show, but the bottom line is that BoJack's affection for the people he cares about is a lot more unconditional than Diane's. Diane's Cordovia arc is a good example of this: when Diane was at her worst, BoJack let her stay with him for an indeterminate amount of time, no questions asked. But after this situation gets resolved, Diane starts ghosting him because she believes that they bring out the worst in each other. As she looked back on the situation, she analysed it entirely objectively, and although you could easily argue that she was right, she completely failed to notice that BoJack was able to uproot his entire life (including his girlfriend who he loved) for her. Diane's tendency to think about things on a purely logical and objective level means that she fails to develop close bonds with people, and this also often manifests itself with throwing people under the bus. Diane does this to BoJack twice in the span of the series: once with One Trick Pony*, and once in INT. SUB, and both times she completely fails to consider BoJack's side of the story (or in the case of the latter, Penny's side), to the point where BoJack has to directly confront her to make her understand that actually, writing the humiliating stories of him without permission was a shitty thing to do, and it is weird that she neither considered how he would feel, nor did she ever apologise for it. By contrast, in Hank After Dark, when BoJack is given the choice to abandon Diane in her endeavours, when literally the entire world is against her, and when he could easily be dragged down with her, he chooses to stay with her and support her.

Diane is, at heart, a utilitarian. She has plagued herself with the idea that she can Save The World, regardless of who she has to throw under the bus to get there. BoJack, on the other hand, recognises deep down that the only thing truly worth it in the end is the people he cares about. In his words: "in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make".

*Yes they agreed to have a "warts and all" version of the book, but they didn't agree on the format the book turned out to be in. Diane writing the book from her perspective made a significant difference, as it made it more mocking than reflective.

Bailey Hoskins (a.k.a., X-Ceptional) had the mutant ability to explode, but not the ability to heal from said explosions; in other words, if he uses his power, he dies. This kid was definitely no ​Robert Hunter.

One Trick Pony

[silveragelovechild]

I stopped going to see M. Night Shyamalan’s movies after “Signs” when I realized he was a One-Trick-Pony.

Apparent he taught his daughter his one trick.

“The Watchers”, written and directed by his daughter, currently has a 29% score at Rotten Tomatoes, which be better than the scores for four of Dad’s movies - After Earth (12%), Last Airbender (5%), The Happening (18%), and Lady in the Water (25%)

I like this too. But please use sparingly. <3 ... Except when it's all the writers can come up with for every single issue and every single season of a TV show. Example: The Flash. "I'm the fastest man alive!" except for 9 of 10 villains who also have speed powers and are faster than the hero. In the DC universe, it bothers me that the Flash and his entire entourage/family and the majority of his villains are all speedsters. =_= Just... why? The element of mystery, suspense, and most clever writing is lost when it's the only trick up the writer's sleeve. It also makes super speed the most common super power. After a while, I gave up on the Flash. Like, after season 5. It became too predictable. The Flash would just solve his problems by getting faster. The end. Yeah, I remember there was more than just speedsters, like Grodd and Hunter Zolomon were intelligence based. But then the writers forgot to play against the villains' intelligence with the Flash's own intelligence. In a battle of wits, the Flash relied still on his speed and used his team as a crutch. The writers forgot how to write Barry Allen as the smart Crime Scene Investigator that he was at the start of Season 1. He traded his brain for speed, I guess. Rant over. Sorry. I loved The Flash show at first, but fell out of love. Now I take it as a cautionary tale of not being a one-trick pony writing character dynamics. I hope anyone who reads my reply post takes it with a grain of salt.

I love antagonists who mirror the protagonist instead of contrast them. They are the most extreme version of the protagonist, someone with the same dreams and beliefs who believed these things could only be achieved by the sharpest tools. The crushing weight of knowing that could be you.

One-Tricks In Marvel Rivals, a Wonder or a Blunder? Celestial Demands More Than Your Lord Portrait.

"Where are the Damage dealers? Where is our Tank? Where are my heals?" Seriously, where are they? The term "one trick" refers to players who exclusively play a single hero, regardless of the team's composition or whether they're being heavily countered by the enemy. They rarely switch and remain committed to that hero in most situations. In team based games like Marvel Rivals, team composition is very important in order to win. It should be obvious that a team player game actually needs a TEAM to win. By cooperating with your team, assembling the right roles leads to victory. 

Balance is key. A team needs a mix of roles—In an article written by Ryan Gilliam it details their purpose; DPS to dish out damage, tanks to soak up hits, and healers to keep everyone alive. When half the team is playing glass cannon assassins while the enemy squad has a solid frontline and support, the end result is clear. You will be defeated. If your go-to character isn’t cutting it, then switch it up! Sticking to the same pick every match no matter what is like bringing a water pistol to a firefight—it’s just not gonna work. The best players aren’t the ones with the flashiest highlight reels; they’re the ones who can read a match, adapt, and fill in the gaps where their team needs them most.

Alright, let’s be real—The issue with Marvel Rivals lacking a role lock is that players often have to adjust their picks to complement a one-trick’s hero or fill a different role to make the team work. In a Reddit thread, one user expressed frustration, saying they’re “bored of being the only support or tank” while the rest of the team plays DPS in ranked. “I prefer to play DPS, but people need to learn to adapt to their teams. If you can’t, you shouldn’t be playing ranked!” Many in the comments have already agreed.

One player shared their frustration: “Had a Moon Knight one-trick say, ‘this is the only hero I’m good at,’ then proceed to get one elimination and nine deaths in the first match.” The team suggested he switch to a tank or support to be “more useful,” but he refused. Instead, he got upset and stayed in spawn for the next two rounds. Despite this, the team still won, with the user commenting, “He was more useful AFK.” Another player added, “One-trick DPS players make team games miserable across the board. This was never going to be any different.” Some were even more direct, with one user stating, “They shouldn’t be playing at all. Being a one-trick without getting paid for it is just embarrassing.”

At the end of the day, no one cares about how much time you’ve spent on one hero. It means nothing when you’re feeding the enemy because you refuse to switch it up. Sticking to your one-trick like it’s a personality trait doesn’t make you a master—it makes you a liability. So go ahead, keep insta-locking your favorite hero while your team scrambles to fill the gaps. Just don’t be surprised when the scoreboard exposes you for what you really are—a one-trick blunder.
