Is just someone with a mask breathing.
Yeah, those fuckers never visited hospitals.
Vader himself is basically wearing what amounts to a walking iron lung, and the “breathing” is the noise of the pump rather than his own breathing. It's hard to deny that intimidating breathing has become a staple of media nowadays, and Star Wars especially likes to invoke the sound with other characters now and again.

Oh, more like a oxygen tank being used underwater. I think the pump sounds near identical to Vader's.
Thanks for the info.
 
This is 2013 humor and I mean that in the worst way possible.

The thing about Vader breath is that while it's supposed to be scary, it's ultimately just a reminder that under all that gothic armor, he's just a sickly old man clinging to life. It's not cool that he breathes like that, it shows how far he's fallen and how all the power of the Dark Side ultimately just makes you a freak.

Both can be true. It may be another sign of Vader's miserable state for himself and audiences, but it is also horrifying to hear if you're on the receiving end of his wrath. Rogue One's Hallway Scene really showed that off well. Hearing that distinctive breathing from the darkness before seeing the red lightsaber truly is pure terror for the average rebel.

I want to remind everyone that this thread hasn't had a proper update since last year when they actually restored the trope. Warjay and some other prick were just trying to drag it out. Let's see how long it last before they get froggy again and start deleting popular pages.

I don't even know if those shorts are much better than the minidress Green used to wear, or the miniskirt she wore as Leaf in FRLG. They might even be smaller than Hilda's short shorts, and Hilda's canonically 16 compared to the possibly-11 Green.

Doubleposting, but I only need to repost the quotes that Birdman and Hbomberguy have on the section for The Reason You Suck Speech to illustrate what TV Tropes views as the "good viewpoint".

As a bonus, take a look at how they describe the latter on parts of his page.

Yeah.....talk about "Adorkable" huh?

And a few sections from his very own Awesome Moments section (yes, they gave him one of them, saying he "earned" the respect of his peers).

They're. Fucking. Cookies.
This is why we can't have darker, realistic shit in children's media, anymore. But aside of the obvious set of spastics, I genuinely doubt of this line of thought would actually become mainstream. Well, not in the short-term, at least.

And speaking of PTSD, the tranny jannies have repeatedly refused to see a shrink about it, since they still don't feel like dealing with the radioactive amount of autism that Complete Monster generates.

I thought there’d be more complaining about the movie’s glaring shortcomings in the Mario Galaxy Movie YMMV section but it’s mostly just glazing stuff that happens in the movie and also autistic shit like this. I don’t know why I expected otherwise given that this site is 90% manchildren who unironically love shows for preschoolers.
