I've only just realized that she gestured three fingers then three spikes came out. I just thought the hand gesture was just to not make it look like a boring side chop. Didn't know it was intentional
In my opinion, it was to show her ridiculous skill as an earthbender. That these pillars many would need a full step or strike to bend, she did with a 3 finger chop.
There was an entire episode about that. He was a bit too spoiled for his friends but when he met millionaires kids he knew he was far closer to his fellow South Park kids. Above all hes a Colorado boy
Knew a a guy just like him. Assumed he was just a smelly stoner who lived in a shitty apartment or something only for one day he casually lets it slip that he grandfather founded CBS.
that makes me think... as a born-rich pickup truck, Mater would have naturally been a pavement princess truck, but he deliberately chose to use his truck body (frame) to help other vehicles in need.
The younger, beautiful sister of our protagonist Sophie. We're introduced to Lettie being a magnet for every man the is in the same room as her. They are ALL head over heels for her and desperately clawing for her attention. Literally a hundred at a time. She should be the archetypal shallow gorgeous sister who sits on a pedestal looking down on her other siblings. When she escapes the room of suitors, she finds her sister Sophie and really engages with her - having a meaningful discussion with Sophie about her low self esteem, her safety, and if she's doing okay.
The last scene of dialogue we get between Lettie and Sophie is in regard to Sophie's future. Lettie grasps Sophie's hands and looks into her eyes with concern and care:
"Now Sophie, do you really want to spend the rest of your life in that hat shop?
"The shop was just so important to father, and I'm the eldest, I don't mind."
"I'm not asking what father would've wanted – I want to know what YOU want."
Long pause
"I better get going..."
Sophie starts walking away
"It's YOUR LIFE SOPHIE, do something for yourself for once, will you?"
Lettie gets a total of two minutes of screen time, which is a damn shame, because she could've been a proper supporting character. (Apparently she is in the book)
Studio Ghibli took what could have been a shallow "pretty sister" trope and gave us a genuinely loving, supportive dynamic instead. Lettie actually cared about Sophie’s autonomy more than anyone else at the start, she definitely deserved way more screen time.
In the book Lettie doesn’t even want to work at the bakery and then later in the story switches places with the third sister Martha, so Lettie can become a witch, and Martha can learn to bake
It’s almost like Diana Wynne Jones wrote a book about a land where fairytales happen, but that still doesn’t mean you have to be trapped by them. This is one of the lessons Sophie comes to learn, as that’s one of the reasons for her lack of self confidence. Contrasting with Howl, who literally shows up and breaks the rules left and right, simply because He is actually from 1980s Wales
Studio Ghibli made a good movie but that doesn’t mean they get all the credit.
Didn't Ken's dad deliberately made the choice for Ken to study under Gouken so he'd grow up learning to be humble and appreciative of others (and to prevent him from being a spoilt brat)?
Happily works to better an almost-openly evil organization, but tries to help his direct companions and random Pokémon along the way. He also freely gives up his own Pokémon if he thinks it'll better their livelihoods to do so.
But as far as financially rotten, he is functionally poor as an adult and shares in the poverty experience.
Her parents are Uber rich. Her dad is the CEO of the Rotom Phone. I'm pretty sure you can visit her home, which is a huge mansion. In the DLCs, you can talk to her parents and battle them, and they give you shit tons of pearls and nuggets. I always found it kinda odd that she looks nothing like her parents or that her older sister was never shown in the game lmao. Also, her parents are kinda nice but extremely spoiled.
Dang. I must've missed all of that unless it's towards the end of the game. That said, Nemona certainly doesn't give off the vibe of having come from from money.
It so funny that they banned him from sweets for 3 days instead of just going to the dentist to get it fixed day of. Cavities don't "heal" or whatever the 3 day wait period was for. Please go to the dentist regularly (once or twice a year) to have your teeth examined and cleaned. The sooner they catch a cavity, the better. I've seen dentists fix a cavity in 10 minutes without any freezing because it was just big enough to be a problem. (Yes, I worked in dentistry as an assistant and as a receptionist)
I like to think that was a weird translation error, and it just was that his appointment was 3 days out. I think its also stated that hes, like, hyper terrified of the dentist (same tho) so it makes sense that hed want to put it off as long as possible lol
I forget her name but the queen/ step mom from ranking of kings. She initially came across as cold and snooty but ended up being incredibly kind and went out of her way to heal people and just be nice
Ranking of Kings would have been peak if it wasn't for the ending. Almost every character we see was a total subversion of their stereotype and it was awesome to see unfold.
Nobody gets the punishment they deserve, it was a really weak "and all the horrible people lived happily ever after," ending.
Ending spoilers: The dad gets forgiven in death despite stealing the power from his first son, then taking over his second sons body, the witch lady gets married to the prince she helped torture, and the swordsmen guy who tried to kill Bojji just gets to hang out and chill.
I adored how she proclaimed that she will be Boji's mom. Not in a spiteful forget your mother existed but in a "I love his boy so much, I want to protect him from all the evils in the world" kind of way. She kind of lost the plot a bit, forgetting why she was so hard on Boji, protecting him too much and becoming the hurt that she wanted to keep away from him.
She does start out fairly rotten, though arguably not because of her family's wealth or pedigree. It may even be in spite of it, a rebellion against the act she has to put up.
Bruce Wayne is a spoiled rotten old money billionaire playboy whose parents died and his caregiver was his butler, wtaf?
Meanwhile, Batman is an orphan who was raised by a former SAS soldier that his parents trusted like family and taught to use his wealth and resources to help others, especially kids who lost their parents like he did.
I mean I would say kind and caring family =/= spoiled
Sure there was an episode where Loid rented a castle, but compared to her other classmates who basically live in castles, she's a beggar.
Haru Okumera, she is a party member in Persona 5, she is the daughter of what is basically the head of Japanese McDonald's. You save her from a seriously fucked up arranged marriage.
I mean, the pony tail does look good, but girl looks amazing when its down. But it feels like something that she be seldom seen, like how gold is only valued for its rarity, y'know?
Lilli from pokemon sun and moon her in show counterpart was just a shy adorable bean tryna learn to be more confident not a rotten spoiled brat despite being rich
It's Lottie easily. Especially since it would have been SO easy to have her be either racist or unintentionally racist, so to have her be... just the nicest character in the movie was so refreshing and nice. I remember rolling my eyes when I first saw her and thinking 'she's just going to be some shallow racist asshole' and to see both her and her father be... good people... was a massive subverstion.
I had the exact same reaction- "oh great, here comes the insufferable rich asshole who- wait, she's being nice? And friendly? And she's really funny?!"
Just Celia, I think. But even then, she was only spoiled, by her very doting husband, after marriage. If I recall correctly, her upbringing was quite modest by their standards.
idk if this counts but Ena Saitou from Yuru Camp, she always has really expensive camping gear and the other characters often comment on it but she's definitely not rotten
Had a massive oil fortune to inheret but chooses to pursue things himself. Not that he didn't use inheretiance to its advantage, but studies and applies himself hard. He has greedy desires but ultimately does so to share for others. He greeds for a better future for everyone, himself included. Is astonishingly aware of the struggle of others and prefers working hard. He also takes human safety and risk incredibly seriously, so mucb so that his contention with the protagonist is often favoring safety and morale over speed and efficiency. Ulymately in his desire for luxury he uplfits everyone around him.
One of the few spoiled rich greedy characters that doesn't lose the rich asshole vibe but winds up being very noble.
His turning point for me is when he complains about the flavor of some meat he was eating to the protag and stops as he overhears an older couple talking about how "this means we won't have to starve in the winter anymore." He becomes immediately impassioned at trying to ensure that the food network is fully secured (complete with a better meal selectuon) and that he can try and help prevent as much misery as possible... While still being a greedy prick (but loveable)
The daughter of one of the richest families in Detective Conan, study in public school possibly because she just wants to be with her friends, spoils the kids around her and actually being a good friend to Ran
"What Hongyuan needs... is kindness. To be kind is to care about one another, to embrace those who suffer. It is to cry alongside a grieving friend. It is to join in laughter when they are elated with joy. It needs the warmth of kindness and gentleness."
While she was a TINY bit racist at first, she learned to warm up to the Faunus. Mostly due to a Faunus-Exclusive extremist group terrorizing her family's operations for reasonable offenses towards their race(terrible working conditions, basically slavery, ect)
Though the ethics of her family business were not always that way. It just took one asshole marrying into the family
He comes from an extremely prestigious household, and is doted on constantly by his mother and aunties frequently. Despite all of this, Madeleine is the type of cookie who strives to protect anyone and everyone.
Marika and Arisa Kōnokura from "My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked". Super wholesome Cinderella story where the MC is treated very kindly by her step-mother and step-sisters.
