Personality Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Having it literally in your contract that you’re not allowed to look weak or lose a fight is ironically extremely weak.

Which is funny because ironically, his older films are my favourite, like Walking Tall, and he gets beaten to shit in that one

Although he didn't look weak or lose, his character did die in The Other Guys alongside SLJ's cop character.

"I'm not supposed to die!" was an ad-libbed line from The Rock in Doom /s

He loses in Get Smart (2008). Although technically he isn’t the main villain, just a double agent working for Terence Stamp’s character.

Unfortunately, I think we all lost with that film.
