what kind of fuckin cues did they give to the voice actor who was tasked with saying “Fullmetal Alchemist” a couple thousand times? bc like it varies based on the context, were they just like “ok now we want you to say it as if it means ‘your entire family was just killed and your town was burned.’ Ok that was great, now say it as though it means ‘i was the only one who bet on the right horse at the Kentucky Derby’”
The idea of any of the other Robins going back in time to when Dick was still Robin is so funny, because we just accept that Robin is a mantel to get passed on but back then it’d be like
Very good trope: Cartoon characters having grown long beards to signify a lot of time has passed, regardless of how nonsensical it is for them to grow one.
Even better trope: It turns out it’s a fake beard they’re wearing just because
Absolute best trope: It turns out a comically short amount of time has passed (like five minutes or something)
My favorite execution of this was in chowder when they we’re waiting in an elevator and when it opened up there were skeletons with beards covered in cobwebs and they immediately move it out of the way and are like “this elevator was such a great place to store the skeleton sculptures of ourselves”

There’s just something about watching a character come to the realization that they’ve just said and/or done something terrible, and it works no matter how they realize it. Whether the realization is immediate or delayed, sudden or gradual, it all demonstrates the character’s shock.
I especially love it when the realization triggers a physical reaction - things like the character collapsing in shock or hastily backing away from another character. But it can be just as effective when the character freezes in place, unable to come to grips with having done something that completely contradicts their morals.
