What's one cliche "Moral of the story" in media that you hate more than anything else?

"This character is a freak, let's make fun of them for being different, even run them out of town." Character saves their lives, usually using the thing that makes them different "Hey everyone, this character is the best, we love them!"

Acceptable theoretical moral: Love everyone. Actual implied moral: Love everyone because you'll never know when they might be useful to you.

Has anyone ever lost the Junior title due to gaining too much weight?

If I remember, someone (I wanna say Matt Hardy?) won the Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight title at one point, and the whole gimmick was people questioning his weight and him avoiding scales, etc

In combat sports usually if a champ doesn't make weight before the fight they either a) have to drop it or b) make a deal with the challenger that they get more of the purse to risk getting put in a coma by someone 15 pounds heavier than them, depending on the promotion

You can't have both. The platforms are not inherently evil, it's the money people/corpos that run them. None of them started that way, they were all projects started by small groups, and were even fun/useful at first. Scale -> corpo attention -> buyout -> slop. That's the cycle. It won't change. You can enjoy the smaller shit until it either dies because it can't be sustained, or is bought out by Monty Burns and he only knows one way to live. Either way, you'll then have to move on to whatever the current new is if you want out.
