I'm going to take a piss. And when I come back, I'm going to talk about "The Mighty Duck" movies.

Oh Meg, I haven't seen you smile like this in a long time. Probably not since you were in that music video.

The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga. If you move one thing it all falls apart.

Oh, you're not getting into Heaven in those, honey, no. I'm sorry. I died for your sins, but those pumps are unforgivable!

Hey all. I've experienced some computer trouble earlier today, but just managed to get it to startup again through a different method. I'm in the process of fixing the problem with my computer, so depending on how it pans out, I might be offline for a while..

Why this trope exists
The simplest explanation is that the woman is simply bigger than the other female characters, or simply older and thus more fully grown and developed, or both at once — unlike a flat-chested woman, who is more likely to come across as small, young and more delicate. In American Superhero comics, this is often touted as the reason the Most Common Superpower exists—to establish the difference between younger girls and older women (however, as the trope became more common, there has been less and less distinction between the body types.) In any case, her greater general size leads to both larger breasts as well as greater leverage and muscle mass (not that you'll often see much physical evidence of the latter—compare the biceps on the ladies in the trope image, for instance). If all of the female characters are physically active and she is the oldest, it can also be assumed she's been actively building strength and learning how to use it longer than her juniors have.

My dad used to tell me I was lazy. I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze. I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey.

Owl House is the Dark Souls of Disney animated shows. Owl House is like Kiki's Delivery Service fused with Beetlejuice with a hint of Little Witch Academia along with a few touches of Harry Potter, Kingdom Hearts, and Jupiter Ascending, on top of being an animated fantasy that is one part Adventure Time, two parts Gravity Falls, three parts Logan meets Shrek, five parts Steven Universe, equal parts Star Vs. the Forces of Evil, and as well as Hell's Kitchen, Seinfeld, Grand Theft Auto, and Blair Witch Project in spades, and not to mention the similarities to The Looney Tunes Show in a castle far far away where no one can hear you Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
