So, the movie is playing and you're watching and having a good time. Suddenly, a new character you haven't seen before shows up. Before you can ask "who's this," the frame stops on them for a few seconds, and maybe some super-imposed text or a voice-over ensues, to say who the new guy is. Then, the scene continues. Often in these shots, the character will be isolated from the background, may then be color-modified, zoomed, etc. for added effect. A minimalistic variation plays a short clip of the character turning around or raising their head to look towards the camera, at which point the shot freezes and their name is displayed. A frequently cited variant includes a Record Needle Scratch, followed by the character explaining in voiceover, "You're probably wondering How We Got Here...". May coincide with Boss Subtitles, when the freeze frame lists a boss name right before the fight commences. May also be used during a Mook Debut Cutscene, Framed Face Opening, Introductory Opening Credits, Video Credits, or Theme Tune Roll Call. Cool Shades and Badass Cape are commonly used in such moments to show how badass the character is, as well as the character's signature weapon. Examples |

All the title characters of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are introduced this way. The Ugly gets this introduction at the very beginning. Later, The Bad appears but gets his introduction only a scene later. Finally, we have The Good, whose introduction is even more scenes later, at around half an hour into the movie. | |

As each of the major characters of The Death of Stalin is introduced, the scene goes into slow motion for a moment as a caption appears giving the character's name and position. Mostly played for laughs — Khrushchev gets his moment in the middle of a drunken Wimp Fight with Beria, and Bulganin is speaking when he goes into slow-mo, causing his voice to stretch and deepen — although General Zhukov gets a reasonably dramatic (if rather hammy) moment. | |

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: Almost every major character, including returning ones from the first Puss in Boots film, receives a Freeze-Frame Introduction with their own "Wanted!" Poster to give us their name. Fittingly, only characters who are outlaws have this standard introduction, with Perrito, a friendly dog who most characters initially find annoying, getting an Unwanted Poster. The only one who gets no poster is the Wolf, as you can't put a bounty on The Grim Reaper, much less a version that's barely seen by the rest of the cast.note Of course, an alternate interpretation is that the Wolf did have a wanted poster introduction all along—he just used Puss' own poster to do it. | |

Starting from halfway through season 2, every episode of the My Hero Academia anime introduces every single character appearing in that episode with on-screen subtitles giving the character's name, hero/villain description, and Quirk. This applies only to the original broadcast (and simulcast) airing: the Blu-ray version of the series (which is also used for the foreign dubs) removes the subtitles, mainly because in a format where the viewer is allowed to watch multiple episodes one after the other reintroducing the exact same characters over and over every 25 or so minutes would feel kinda redundant. | |

Agent Ali introduces almost every new character in the series this way. The background blurs and darkens while a colored outline surrounds the introduced character. The name appears in the same color with a font befitting its futuristic sci-fi theme. | |

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse: For every returning character, they get their own freeze frame that shares trivia about the prior seasons or little details meant for a quick gag. Sam & Max themselves are both introduced in two different manners: Sam's listing his likes/dislikes and being one half of the freelance police, while Max's... a little more straight to the point. Sybil's particular freeze frame intro lists all her previous job titles. The list runs so long that it goes past the borders of the screen. |

In the introduction of It's a Wonderful Life, God is assigning a guardian angel named Clarence to protect a man named George Bailey. After God shows Clarence some scenes from George Bailey's childhood, God skips ahead to when George Bailey is an adult. When George Bailey turns his face to the camera, God stops time, says to Clarence (and by extension the audience) "I want you to take a good long look at that face," and introduces George Bailey as an adult. | |
