Every new scene and location will be introduced with slow motion with a wide shot of the location with uplifting fanfare in the background. The characters talk only AntiquatedLinguistics. Heck, even a simple chase in the woods, with Theo, Arondir and Bronywn running from Orcs is made to look like the most epic thing ever, with the slow motion and Disa's amazing OneWomanWail in the background as the characters get out of the woods.

* It was a convention in some comic strips to use exclamation points at the end of ''every sentence''. This tradition reportedly began because with the older, fairly coarse four-color printing process, it was easy for a tiny dot like a period to be lost, but some of an exclamation point would survive! (Letters would also sometimes be joined by stray ink: writers were advised not to use the verb "flick" or name a character "Clint", lest the l and i run together and produce a [[PrecisionFStrike serious]] [[CountryMatters violation]] of UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode!) Serials such as ''ComicStrip/MaryWorth'', ''ComicStrip/Apartment3G'', ''ComicStrip/RexMorganMD'' and ''ComicStrip/MarkTrail'' are known for this, as well as ''Archie'' comics and many others.

* '''Mainstream comic books''' tend to do this with '''bold text'''. It's actually very '''strange''' and no one seems to know why it '''happens.'''

That way the '''readers,''' if they want to get to the guys in colored tights '''beating''' on each other, can skim more '''easily.'''

Often (though not always) the emphasized words are those that one would expect to be stressed slightly more in natural-sounding speech: "His '''power''' ... I've never seen anything '''like''' it!" Using '''bold''' text does come across as a bit overly dramatic and ''italic'' would probably be better, but a lot of letterers produce "normal" text that's already slanted significantly from the vertical so that italic doesn't stand out as much.
