The Load: Difference between revisions

* Russell in the [[Pixar]] [[Film]] ''[[Up]]'' is one at first seems to fit this category: he loses his Wilderness Explorer GPS, literally acts as a deadweight while Carl is towing the house, cannot put up his tent, and reveals to Muntz that he and Carl have met "the Monster of Paradise Falls" (i.e. Kevin the Bird). However,..until he eventually [[Took a Level in Badass|takes a level in badass]].

** In another [[Pixar]] [[Film]], ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', the Pizza Planet Aliens are not a liability, but they have to rely completely on the other toys to save their lives (for which [[Running Gag|they are]] [[I Owe You My Life|eternally grateful]]). {{spoiler|[[Inverted]] brilliantly in the incinerator scene, in which [[Big Damn Heroes|the Aliens]] [[Deus Ex Machina|save all of the toys via]] ''[[Brick Joke|the claw]]''.}}

*** Depending on who you ask, [[The Chick|Rex]] is even ''moremoreso.'' guilty than the Aliens of this [[Trope]].

* InSubverted in ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'',; it seems like Brent will be this when he [[Tagalong Kid|invites himself along]] to help save the world, but he turns out to be a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]].
