Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* While it's [[LaserGuidedKarma somewhat deserved]], Giselle turning back into a parrot at the end of the movie, with the [[UncannyValley uncanny]] visual of her sprouting feathers and a beak whilst shrinking and squawking. Could double as a slight AlasPoorVillain moment too, as she sounds [[OhCrap genuinely terrified]] as she realizes what's happening to her and desperately tries to convince Archie to reverse it, only for her voice to completely regress to avian squawks. In the end, it's implied that [[FateWorseThanDeath she's now trapped in that form forever]].

* The wizard boy hypnotizing his parents.


Added DiffLines:

* While the implications aren't lingered on, TJ from the early episode "Disenchanted Evening" is pretty scary in FridgeLogic: a teenage wizard who effectively brainwashed his ''own parents'' into being [[GettingSmilesPaintedOnYourSoul mindlessly and cheerfully compliant]] with anything and everything he does or says; it is ''exactly'' as creepy as it sounds, and viewers would be forgiven for being reminded of ''Film/TheStepfordWives'', especially when he cheerfully brags to Alex and Justin about how they're more like robots than parents, something both are understandably disturbed by. He ultimately gets what he deserves when his parents are freed at the end of the episode, but it's still disturbing, even more so because he's such a laughable, vaguely pathetic loser in every other way, just like any VillainOfTheWeek. If Alex hadn't caught on to him, or if he hadn't tried the same trick on ''their'' parents, it's likely they ''never'' would've been freed from his control.

* Stevie's [[spoiler:death.]] First, she get's turned to ice. No big deal, Justin and Alex will probably change her back and get rid of her powers, right? Then [[spoiler:Max accidentally ([[ObfuscatingStupidity or was it?]]) knocks her over, ''shattering her into a million pieces''.]] What's worse is how indifferent everyone acts about it, even her ''own brother''.

* Abercrombie. Especially when he likes Harper’s brain.
* The monster hunters going after the Van Heusens. Then they start going after Harper after she switches places with Juliet.
* It’s implied that Juliet’s parents killed King Arthur.

* Mason eating Dean. Alex starts crying, and we don’t blame her.
* Harper’s stalker-level crush on Justin.
* Alex turning into a chocoholic after the pocket elf bites her is several levels of disturbing.

* Manny falling apart.
* Alex’s hands for feet spell is mild [[Body Horror]]. Same with Juliet’s wing arms.
* The wizard boy hypnotizing his parents.
* Mason accidentally going full wolf and scaring Alex.
* Alex getting stuck in the ceiling when Frankie throws her too high. Who knows how long she was up there?
* Alex drinking both halves of the love potion, causing her head to grow. If it weren’t for Max’s hat, her head could have exploded.
* Justin nearly getting his powers drained at Volcano Land.
* The mummy, especially when he makes Juliet work for him.
* Mr. Laritate turning into a zombie. He just looks so... off.
* Alex using a positivity spell and acting uncharacteristically kind is kind of disturbing. Fortunately, Harper changes her back after the home team loses.
* Harper and Alex survived outer space exposure. Real people, not so much.
* Justin’s talking zit sounds a bit rapey. Especially when he wants Justin to kiss his date.

** Involved Justin giving up wizardry attempting to become an angel of darkness. When he meets with the leader of darkness, Gorog, they use powers to shroud NYC [[spoiler: (and plan to get the world)]] in darkness, turning the citizens bad at their will. It also gets scary when he and Alex are fighting over the moral compass that controls good and bad, because at one point they're both floating high above the city. Doesn't that scene make it look like they could fall to their doom from there? I know they're angels, but still...
** The eerie storyline is inclined to portray some sort of incoming Apocalypse, and the way the Dark Angels look gives a demonic impression. Seriously, some viewers may not take it very well.
