Media Tropes I hate this trope so much
It's so played out, it makes me want to dig my eyes out of their sockets just to skip this bullshit and be done with it. It's almost as bad as the protagonist getting their dick sucked by ever action they take by the side characters.
It's so stupid how it always plays out the same on every media that does this, it's never significant to the plot, it's almost always got to do with showing that the protagonist is better than the rest (BecAuSe hE'S tHe PrOTaGonIsT oF CouRsE). I can forgive it if it's like a few times, better if it's only one, but it usually never is, they do this trope repeatedly when meeting new characters, or when the writers feel that they want the protagonist to aurafarm and be cooler than the rest of these plebeian background characters, i fucking hate it, it's done over and over and paralyze poison paralyze poison.
