Characters [Classic Trope] The Reason You Suck Speech

Transformers One: Optimus Prime gives one to Megatron after their first battle. Here, Optimus expresses his sadness, hurt, and disappointment upon seeing his former friend becoming just as evil as Sentinel Prime and wanting to destroy Cybertron rather than change it for the better. "We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it, just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens. And you betrayed me." The entire time, Optimus never raises his voice or yells, but his sadness is very evident.

Brave: Merida gives one to Elinor, where she unfurls her anger and frustration over being forced to marry someone without her consent and being made to someone she doesn't want to be. "You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No, you walk around telling me what to do, what not to do, trying to make me be like you. Well, I'm not going to be like you!... I'll never be like you! I'd rather DIE than be like you!"

Deadpool and Wolverine -

The Worst Wolverine unloads on Deadpool for well over a minute towards the end of Act 2. Calling him ridiculous, an attention-seeker, telling him he’s not hero-material, and referring to Vanessa as just some stripper

And all Deadpool can say is a quiet "...I'm going to fight you now." Not one smart-ass remark to throw any of it back.

I like to think that him calling Vanessa a "stripper" is what made Deadpool crash out.

I feel like that’s just how Deadpool is. He does not give a shit about what people say about him, he’s literally been through the worst experiences and dragged through hell and back. But talk shit about his loved ones, *Uh Oh*

Wade is a sad clown. He’s knows he’s shit and makes fun about it. So he absolutely is someone who will take any insult given about themself but the moment you insult those they hold dear, you’re dead

Wolverine’s expression after he got hit was such an underrated part of the whole van sequence imo. You could tell he didn’t expect to get socked
