Also I’m probably going to be down voted to hell for this and probably receive a ton of hatemail…
J. K. Rowling used one of the oldest tropes in the litteraly world. “Harry learned the power of love to defeat his enemies”
Like I’m pretty sure they used that on Saturday morning cartoons. “Bad guy D’jour is impervious to our powers. What can we do?”
a small kitten out of nowhere just comes over and nuzzles the bad guy… Bad guy suddenly keels over in pain
“look everyone, this small kitten that has wandered onto set has somehow defeated this Villan with small nuzzles! He cannot love, that’s his weakness!”
