There are probably a ton of examples from this trilogy, some I might not know about still. Edit: Another cool detail is the song in Elvish that plays when Boromir is dying is a quote from his brother, Faramir, in the books: “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”
S
There is a quick shot of him putting them on after they send Boromir down the river and it’s meant to signify Aragorn growing to embrace his Gondorian heritage. The extended editions also have a scene or two where Boromir calls him out on trusting elves moreso than their own people. Aragorn only ditches Boromir’s bracers when he puts on gondorian chainmail armor to fight at Black Gates which signifies that he’s fully embraced Gondor. It’s all subtle visual storytelling through details that makes these movies so precious! (Also, Peter originally meant for Aragorn to wear a full plate armor to the Battle of the Black Gates but Viggo pushed back that full plate didn’t quite fit his character. They eventually met in the middle with the chainmail and white tree surcoat)
T
Oh for sure! Tons of details that make these films so special. Another one I remember seeing is that all of the Nazgûls’ horses have the eye of Sauron as the breastplate.
M
I remember reading once that Bernard Hill, who plays Théoden, was getting into costume and realised his tunic was embroidered all over with horse motifs – on the inside. Something that would never be seen in the movie. If I remember right he said the level of care and detail really helped him get into character.
P
There are great videos showing the workmanship of the clothes in the movie. Gandalfs clothes were filled with elven-patterned embroidery that was never on camera
M
I really feel for actors these days who are expected to just stand in front of a greenscreen for months and get on with it. You’re obviously not going to get their best.
A
Viggo and every gaming nerd on set: “Peter, rogues and rangers can’t wear full plate without a taking hit on dexterity, which is like one of his main stats so….”
P
This is a great way to justify getting free loot when a party member dies. “Boromir would have wanted me to have this +1 AC.”
S
If I die on a quest and you leave my armor behind that would help you on the quest I literally died for I won’t need resurrection to come back and beat your ass for not taking the better equipment. If you die before you complete the quest I died in vain so take my armor please
I
Sure, let’s go with that. Or: https://i.redd.it/u8t1ww73lggg1.gif

I can hear the song with this gif

played exactly this way in apocalypto with the character “middle eye” (the little psycho dickhead) nabs a trinket from his fellow warrior as he lays dying “he wanted me to have this” edited because my engrish was all over the place

Z
Acshually… The trees were attempt number two. The first lights were the Two Lamps. But after SOMEONE knocked them down, they made the Trees of Valinor. And after SOMEONE helped a giant spider drain the light out of those… we got Sun and Moon. Good luck knocking these over, Melkor!
T
This SOMEONE guy sounds like a real threat. Maybe Melkor will take him out, cant have two evil people running amok.
N
Maybe he’s not evil at all, just really clumsy! Also explains why he is so bad at making music.
T
The two lamps were the first light, but still a cool detail
A
Addendum to your correction! The elves woke after the destruction of the lamps in darkness. It’s why they love stars.
T
Yep, and dark elves aren’t bad, they’re just any elf that hasn’t seen the light of the two trees
K
You actually see him putting them on (which I didn’t notice for a long time!) when gimli tells him that Frodo and Sam have crossed the river and they need to follow them he is seen tightening them on his forearm.

M
Holy crap, I can’t belive I’ve missed this. That’s wild.
U
IIRC radiation poisoning causes extreme vascular degeneration and thus cyanosis in the extremeties but I think Bobinsky is way beyond that. Likely more a stylistic choice to make him that color. But the medal holds up.
H
It’s an animated character. It can be an allusion to a real thing without it having to be realistic in presentation, if anything it perfectly suits the ‘amplified reality’ nature of the medium.
O
That’s also why he grows beets I was reading online somewhere once about how people used to use beets to treat people with radioactivity
M
Beets are also just a Russian food trope

Another thing to add is Britta’s strained relationship with her parents. I think it’s speculation, but when seeking her parents’ help on her trauma, they blew it off or thought she was lying, which is apparently fairly common among people who have experienced sexual misconduct, especially with a relative. When we meet her mom and dad we’re kind of meant to believe that it’s just in character for Britta to rebel against anything, but going down the rabbit hole of her backstory, It kind of makes sense why she’d resent her otherwise good-natured parents. Not sure if confirmed Edit: I woke up to a lot of people’s personal experiences and just want to say you are heard. I have a daughter on the way and the list of fears keeps growing, but seeing stories of survivors and what one could do to prevent this kind of thing is uplifting.
N
To add to that, they’re children so they don’t have the faculties to process trauma so they develop emotional and behavioral problems. They act out and then get punished by their parents. The parents don’t stop to think about the why, they just go into parenting mode and try to correct the behavior. So now the victim is being punished for being a victim and not knowing how to handle it.
O
iirc there was an ep about annie and abed getting to know britta’s parents behind her back for money when she’s living with annie/abed bc shes too broke to pay for stuff herself. annie and abed dont understand why she hates them so much bc theyre perfectly nice but its revealed that they were super strict and overbearing and honestly straight up abusive (she mentions being drug tested as a kid for being too happy or smth), on top of the molestation betrayal. i think she said specifically her dad took the offender’s side :/ no wonder shes so against authority, it always failed her :(( so to have your closest friends be like “i dont see why you hate them so much!” is so…..
B
> which is apparently fairly common among people who have experienced sexual misconduct, especially with a relative Just to note, this is because when good parents hear their kid is uncomfortable around someone they stop the problem before it starts. Lotta people hear this stat and think all family protects family and that’s the psychology at play.
O
It’s also part societal programming, which absolutely does not excuse neglectful parenting that lets abusers abuse their fucking kids. Which makes said programming just that much more insidious. Even in the heights of the stranger danger moral panic of the 80s, the stats were fairly clear on child domestic abuse and child sexual abuse. Your mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle – people in your immediate family were the most likely to abuse you, followed by church pastors, camp counselors, teachers etc. Vs random complete strangers. Which if you think about it for just 2s, it makes complete sense. In order to find a child victim, access a child victim, abuse a child victim and continually abuse a child victim, you need *both* *constant access* and *social power*. An abuser needs *something* to protect themselves from consequences when a normal community rightfully loses their shit over a child being abused. It is often why *abusers tend to target a community around the child first* to infiltrate, build up clout and protection, and *then* attack the child. Which then e.g. gets their parents to act like monsters and not intervene because: * They don’t want to acknowledge something horrible happened and process those emotions. * They don’t want to acknowledge that someone they ‘trusted’ breached that trust. * They don’t want to feel like the bad guy because they obviously missed a ton of signs and acknowledging that the abuse happened means that they were ‘bad’ and are a ‘monster’, but in their minds that cannot be the case because ‘they love their child’ and ‘parents can’t be bad guys’. (Abuse of children isn’t a new revelation. Progress is usually halted via politics and culture. Parents in the 50s knew that kicking and punching your child is bad via surveys. However they didn’t view spanking and welting as physical abuse despite science conclusively saying it was just as bad on the child’s psyche.)
R
For what I’ve seen others say, Britta’s dad taking the abuser’s side was part of her character bio in the website

Some of them are more obvious like your character’s hair changing, but others are more subtle like your ‘puppet’ starting to gasp when dodging or taking damage, the hotel cat slowly warming up to him, or the puppet getting better at playing the piano in hotel krat. There are also a lot of ‘secret’ ways to gain humanity, such as praying at a statue.
B
You can’t forget the small detail of your nose growing longer but only your shadow and only while in the main hub location.
C
Also my favorite detail. In the snowy areas of the DLC if your humanity is “You Feel Warmth” or higher, P’s breath will be visible. Fantastic detail from the devs
C
I’m playing right now and I didn’t even notice the breath thing. I love this game more every day 🥰
B
You can also see the shadow of your nose grow longer when you stand next to the stargazer in the hotel
_
I gotta become more human, I wanna be good at playing the piano.
L
Have you tried lying?
R
I think that his movment also becomes different. Like twitching and more smooth if that makes sense. Not as ridged as in the beginning and the more he becomes human.

In *The Force Unleashed* while Starkiller is trying to mediate he’s noticeably shaking and getting frustrated while doing it. In an interview his actor Sam Witwer explained it was a choice by him for the character because he rationed a Sith apprentice would have never been taught to properly meditate so he thought he was doing it right.
E
What’s funny is that I think this was the same interview where Sam Witwer mentioned he outnerded Dave Filloni with another fact in The Clone Wars
T
It was the “Anakin’s Mom already met Padme”
P
In Star Wars survivor there is a tech/skill tree like in any classic video game but there is a section of skills and branch that’s far out and unreachable this is because the Jedis of old were super powerful and can do god like abilities that make any of the movies and tv shows look like child’s play but jedis lost the way to reach those heights but in the game you can see them just out of reach. Their powers can be crazy like energy absorption (we see yoda do this with lighting), light force lightning, a wave of light energy, deleting people’s memories or entirely the mind, wormhole/mega storm of the force, knowing the weak points of enemies structures and more, breaking people’s ties to the force, and lastly luke once became one with the force and was a being of light as if he was Wally west with the speed force. The darksides powers can be worse in power tho.
R
Tbf, shatterpoint was used until like right before the events of Cal’s story. So perhaps these skills will not remain buried
C
“…I have found ancient scriptures. They… don’t feel like a story the Jedi would tell. It’s all written in a language I can’t fully decode yet, but the first page says *D.L.C.*…” oh god dammit, EA
C
“D.L.C.” on the first page is the real jump scare. Ancient Jedi wisdom, locked behind a deluxe upgrade and three cosmetic packs.
S
What tree is this? I don’t remember this in Survivor.
