Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear. In the show's various challenges (convert a vehicle to be amphibious and drive it across a body of water; buy a cheap two-wheel-drive car and cross Botswana), he inevitably goes for more flash, more speed, and more power. As a result, he always seems to achieve magnificent success or equally magnificent Epic Failure.

Smallville, being a Superman show that ran for ten years, and with one of the producers a fan of the Silver Age madness, sure has its moments. Even if your personal preference is a touring bike, these bikes have their own distinctive deep-throated sound that portrays their raw power, waiting to be unleashed, and the yearning to go off on an adventure creeps into our minds.Several characters specifically invoke this trope, such as Luffy gaining power from an afro or Garp bursting through a wall because it's cooler than using the door. Nomura has gone on record by saying he told The Team to ignore the laws of physics and just do what looked coolest. Motorcycles awaken something primal within us, part of which is probably the fact that we control such a powerful beast of a machine, and it responds to our whim. Why is the planet Crait in The Last Jedi a red mineral planet covered with a layer of white salt? Because the visual of geysers of red earth exploding from beneath the white surface looks FREAKIN' AWESOME! The Negi vs. Rakan fight. The ridiculous lengths that it goes to ( Negi reveals that he is not left handed five times in a single chapter) would just be overkill if it weren't so freaking awesome.

Are those flaming chainsaw blade weapons of the Big Bad Jaeger in Pacific Rim: Uprising impractical? You bet they are, but they're wonderful to look at. But with typical humility, it soon knew that designer ‘edge’ doesn’t progress in remote, mountainous Saxony. Hence the establishment of Nomos’s design studio at ground zero for cool: east Berlin. Here, its unique modernism is painstakingly evolved at the hands of creative sorts with angular haircuts, fuelled by artisan coffee and avocado on rye. The titular protagonist from Sledge Hammer!; his catchphrase is " Trust me. I know what I'm doing.", and in the beginning of the first episode, he takes out a sniper by blowing up the building under him(after making sure everyone inside had been evacuated, of course). Rex the Wonder Dog is made of this. Initially, he was simply an ordinary, non-talking non-magical dog that could fish using a rod and reel, drive cars and boats, had a successful career as a newspaper photographer, and once killed a T. rex using a nuclear bomb. Then it was revealed that he was an decorated war hero from World War II, and a Super-Soldier with a similar origin to Captain America. Then, after all the newspaper photography career and T. rex killing, he drank from the fountain of youth, gaining the ability to speak the language of every thing that lives on planet Earth, as well as eternal youth and unspecified magical powers noted to be among the strongest on Earth.There is no doubt that motorcycles are viewed as cool, and motorcycle manufacturers perpetuate that image because it is good for business. However, this point is irrelevant to the bikers who have already been hooked by these fantastic machines themselves and developed an affinity to the lifestyle and sense of freedom that motorcycles bring.

They also bestow much enjoyment to their owner, so you could argue that if you love your watch, who gives a damn what others think? The Rule of Cool is another principle that seeks to dispel arguments among fans over implausibility in fiction. It has been cited by animation director Steve Loter (of Kim Possible, Clerks: The Animated Series, Tarzan, and American Dragon: Jake Long) in response to questions from fans attempting to justify temporary breaches in logical consistency. It is a complement to Bellisario's Maxim and the MST3K Mantra. We include the third-generation Riviera firstly because of its striking ‘boat tail’ rear, and partly because it is so evocative of the glorious excesses of 1970s American car design. Among the concepts that walk the infamous thin line between "clever" and "stupid" are a German ninja, a giant robot mummy, and a martial arts master who takes off his sash and uses it to slash an enemy robot in half.The Dresden Files is, by the admission of its author, constructed out of this. When the main character magically blasts werewolves through walls, fights vampires alongside mob bosses, running into the middle of a faerie apocalypse, reanimating a ZOMBIE T. REX and PUNCHING OUT SANTA CLAUS (who is also Odin) you KNOW it's this trope. There are now myriad iterations, blessed with all manner of GPS and Bluetooth wizardry, but as always it’s the purest version that remains most faithful and, yes, the coolest. Aleph: One of the things that Game Theory has as a major theme is that Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs, and that doing something crazy-awesome and insane... is crazy and insane, and doesn't have to work just because it's the hero doing it. Lelouch constantly uses Rule Of Cool to his advantage. He lampshades it saying that people don't give a damn about reason, but they can't resist miracles. However, this is more a case of Willing Suspension of Disbelief among characters than among the audience. Sometimes, out of nowhere, a star is born. This is exactly what happened with the Lotus Carlton. Originally designed as a brand-building exercise between Vauxhall and Lotus, who were both then owned by General Motors, the sports saloon burst onto the scene with an outrageous top speed and acceleration that could worry even the most exotic supercars of the time.

A Silurian lady fighting crime in Victorian England with her human maid/lesbian lover? WITH A KATANA?? Admit it, you want to watch that episode now. funny examples how Rule Of Cool can mingle with something and get rabies. "...should be pretty cool. Right?" Thursday Next. The hero, Next, can visit inside books. The mechanics of this are explained as, 'If it works, it works'. Which leads to the Chesire Cat manifesting a Kraken to defeat what is essentially a toast-based dictatorship. Gypsy Danger's pilots don't use their sword until halfway through the movie. If they had pulled it out right away, they couldn't have used the very cool tanker, and they couldn't have used the sword in midair!A specific example in soul society of bending the rule that meant they couldn't 'fly' in the first place - the Dynamic Entry into the cells where Rukia is held is assisted by a giant winged device that is ONLY useful in the Seireitei. A giant wing comes from nowhere while Ichigo radiates his badass aura, to the surprise of two captains, before discarding it and landing next to Rukia.
