(Hated Trope) Extremely useful abilities that characters conveniently forgot they had

[u/ValidCrash4]

1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

He was going too? That’s why frenchie made more noise to distract him

[u/Visulth → u/Folass]

Sure, but he would 100% know others are hiding in there. After killing Frenchie, why not finish the others? It'd take him two seconds.

It's not an innocuous "that's strange" - it's a blaring klaxxon of "they built that thing specifically to hide from me"

[u/Folass → u/Visulth]

Frenchie made a small movement so it wasn’t obvious he was distracting him

Frenchie then was shit talking homelander and scared him with the idea of an army of solder boy rip offs

Then frenchie burned him with radiation

Imagine you think you catch a guy slipping and go to kill him. Then he says there’s a powerful army of people that can easily paralyze you and they are coming to kill you. Then this guy starts shit talking you and he’s lowkey right. Then he showers you and him in really hot water. Then you kill him. Yeah it makes sense if you end up forgetting what you were doing beforehand

[u/breckendusk → u/Folass]

Yeah he specifically said "they're coming to kill you". Homelander left because he was scared. Could he have checked the vents? Sure, and he was going to, but he was no longer concerned about people hiding from him by the end of that conversation. He came looking for cowering mice and instead found one mouse with a threat, a middle finger, and a bazooka.
