The stock drama in which someone's aspirations are impossible because of a physical defect. Used for comedy and dark comedy just as much as it is for drama. This is often a crucial turning point in a story, so be warned that there are spoilers below.
Related to [[I Coulda Been a Contender]]. Subversions and aversions can lead to a [[Handicapped Badass]]. Inversions can be [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]] or have a [[Disability Superpower]]. If the character gains the defect during their life, then it's a [[Career
[[Sister Trope]] to [[Tragic Dream]], where the aspiration is impossible due to any of a number of things.
Not to be confused with [[All of the Other Reindeer]].
