Fan Casting The Glasses Come Off in Sort by Tropes

A good way to mark your hero as an intellectual is to stick him on the far side of a pair of Nerd Glasses. A good way to mark your character as a badass is to kick some ass. We also all know that guys who wear glasses can never kick asses. It's contractually forbidden. Thus, when an intellectual is about to kick ass, the first thing he has to do is take off his glasses. (See: Male version of Flung Clothing) For an additional humourous/intellectual touch, the characters may be shown taking especial care to put their glasses away in a glasses case before stowing it away elsewhere, before commencing the violence.
