* NightmareWeaver: Freddy specializes in exploiting people's fears to make it easier to kill them in their dreams. He demonstrates this against Wolverine by growing to giant size, depriving Logan of his claws, and turning his (Freddy's) arms into giant magnets to make sure Wolverine can't escape.

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Vlad claims that the LighterAndSofter vampires he inspired, like [[Advertising/MonsterCereals Count Chocula]] and WesternAnimation/{{Bunnicula}} have diluted his image to the point that he's no longer considered scary. Dracula doesn't seem to be bothered at all by being associated with such characters, and in his own verses, he proudly references his influence on [[Series/SesameStreet Count von Count]] and [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]] as well.

Playing Gertrude now isn't a trope.


* PlayingGertrude: Cara Francis is a young woman, and the battle depicts Mother Teresa in her seventies or eighties. Several commenters on the behind the scenes video were surprised to find out Francis's true age. Francis is no stranger to this trope; she first gained recognition for a web series called Fantasy Grandma, where she played--you guessed it--a grandmother archetype.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He mocks Che for [[MerchandiseDriven getting his image stolen and flipped for profit by corporations and businessmen]], despite the same thing having happened to Guy himself with the famous mask bearing his image (which appears throughout the battle.) Of course, since Fawkes fought for his Catholic cause and the Catholic religion has never really been consistently anti-capitalist -- in fact, the main charge against the Church by protestants was precisely its materialism -- it would not be much of a diss on Fawkes.
