| Topic | Best of the Trope Day 67: Genius Bruiser |
| Johnbobb 08/11/18 10:25:36 PM #3: | Today's tropes is the Genius Bruiser https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeniusBruiser Want to know what happens when you put Brains and Brawn as one character, brawn dominant? The diametric opposite of Dumb Muscle. This guy has not only huge muscles and fists, but a very bright brain! Even if he's not a genius about fighting, he is otherwise the personification of Strong and Skilled. There is, however, a difference between "especially smart" and "not a total moron"; keep that in mind when adding examples. Here's a tip: A character who is strong but displays frankly average intelligence is simply not an idiot. But if they constantly spout technobabble and are considered an expert in some scientific field, that's especially smart. Similarly, if they're especially smart, they must also be unusually strong to qualify. "Beats people up" or "very physically fit" don't count. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard! |
