When someone mentions his or her “little brother”, you usually expect a smaller, weaker individual, most likely a child or teenager. The big'''Big littleLittle brotherBrother''' is the polar opposite of this. It’s someone who may be the youngest member of his family, but just so happens to be stronger, taller and overall more physically impressive than his older siblings. The revelation of this usually comes as a surprise to both the audience and the characters in a story. This trope is usually used for comical effect.
