Line 65:
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Mother]]
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: While not as extreme an example as Carrie, in both movies she was played by actresses far more attractive than the white-haired, heavyset woman she was described as in the book (Piper Laurie in '76, Patricia Clarkson in '02, Julianne Moore in '13).
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]}}
* [[Ax Crazy]]
Line 117:
Thomas "Tommy" Everett Ross is one of the stars of the school's baseball team and the boyfriend of Sue, and their relationship has recently become more intimate. After taking part in Carrie's humiliation in the shower, Sue, feeling sorry for what she did, asks Tommy to take Carrie to the prom in order to make up for it, to which Tommy reluctantly agrees.
* [[Ambiguous Situation]]: Whether or not he felt something for Carrie. In the 1976 film and in a deleted scene in the 2013 remake, he and Carrie share a kiss.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: In the novel, he's [[The Smart Guy|a straight-A student]] and a talented amateur writer who has had his poems published in several journals, and wants to get a university degree before pursuing a career in professional baseball. Both film adaptations retain his niceness, but turn him into a [[Brainless Beauty]] for no readily apparent reason.
* [[Lovable Jock]]: In addition to being a star athlete, he's also a very good-hearted, likable person, and one of the few people who stands up for Carrie, though he is reluctant to take her to the prom.
