miscellaneous Everyone went through rough stuff, that doesn't give you the right to be a dick

When characters call out the fact that having a sad or traumatic story doesn't give you the right to be a dick

Guardians of the Galaxy - Rocket Rackoon says to Drax "I don't care if it's mean. Everybody's got dead people! But it makes no excuse to letting everyone else around get killed along the way!", which he is correct

BoJack Horseman - Todd tells BoJack: "You are all the things that are wrong with you, it's not the drugs or the alcohol, or any of the things that happened in your career and childhood". While BoJack is shaped by his trauma, it's he who he keeps making awful decisions again and again, and trying to externalize it won't make things better

essentially the entire premise of this movie a woman turns invisible. no one can see her except one person

>! turns the reason she was “invisible “ was because she was grieving her mother’s death. She was self isolating and self loathin. thinkimg no one truly saw her or understood . Once she realized she wasn’t the only one who was hurting and grieving. she stops being an asshole and starts to talk to her family and open up to them then she is finally seen and heard!<
