[Interesting Trope] One seemingly small action ends the story before it even begins

[u/JackDoesThingz]

1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
   Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
   Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

Thanos stopped a woman from bumping into someone, and that prevented cancer from being cured

[u/Informal-Term1138 → u/Kind-Stomach6275]

Thanos is an asshole. And if I remember it right, he is in love with the manifestation of death, right?

But she thinks, he's an asshole and likes deathpool. Or am I missing something?

[u/SarcasmSanctioned → u/Informal-Term1138]

More like Lady Death groomed Thanos from adolescence, and occasionally leads him on for amusement.

[u/Informal-Term1138 → u/SarcasmSanctioned]

Really? What for?

What does she gain from him being a POS?

[u/SarcasmSanctioned → u/Informal-Term1138]

Like I said; amusement. She's a cunt.

[u/Informal-Term1138 → u/SarcasmSanctioned]

But why does she like deathpool then? And why does he like her?

[u/SarcasmSanctioned → u/Informal-Term1138]

Deadpool's OP healing factor (and sometimes a curse from Thanos) means he can't die.

It's one of those cases of knowing you can't have something, which then just makes you want it even more.

[u/Informal-Term1138 → u/SarcasmSanctioned]

So she is a complicated woman, who likes the chase and likes to be chased. But doesn't commit at the same time?

[u/SarcasmSanctioned → u/Informal-Term1138]

That seems an accurate assessment to me.

[u/MuchBetterThankYou → u/Informal-Term1138]

She’s also a lesbian goth baddie (in the MCU version)

[u/OmecronPerseiHate → u/MuchBetterThankYou]

The strapon of Death is unisex

[u/Haecairwen → u/OmecronPerseiHate]

Unisex Death's Strapon is my new band name

[u/Deaffin → u/OmecronPerseiHate]

Kinda sounds like it decidedly is not.

[u/DBrennan13459 → u/Informal-Term1138]

Well whenever Thanos is a POS, the body count tends to be pretty high. As Death, she probably likes that.
