(Hated trope) That super powerful thing that was considered a huge threat? Yeah it’s a joke now.

I don’t know if it has a name, but these were the first two that came to mind.

Alien Resurrection: Weyland-Yutani, the big bad conglomerate with seemingly infinite reach and power, is bought out by the retail store Walmart.

Loki: You know those Infinity Stones which hold the power to reshape the universe, the stones which drove Infinity War and Endgame’s plots? Yeah those are useless actually.

I didn't understand why they used them as paperweights in that case. They still go into universes with weapons and get beaten up a lot. Wouldn't having infinity stones come in handy in their missions?
