History WMG / BrutalLegend

* Avatar: Woody. A man of about average height and thinish build with black bushy hair. Wields an acoustic guitar that has the words "This Axe Kills Demons Too" written on it in what appears to be sharpie and an indistinctive dagger for melee combat. Fights with an almost zen like calm and will compliment his opponents unless the fight starts going badly at which point he switches to a completely different persona one bursting with rage and often comparing his opponents to varying levels of evil. This personality change has no real effect upon gameplay only on his dialouge.

* Avatar: Amadeus Von Bludhaven, the first one. His orchestrations lead to the creation of all other life. Wields a sharpened conductor's baton for solos (called movements which cause phantoms of an orchestra to appear and play) and in melee combat. Some meele combos incorporate his clockwork implants as extending limbs.

J-Pop: An anime inspired faction that has {{Ninja}}, {{Samurai}}, HumongousMecha, {{Magical Girl}}s and other stables of Shonen. Lead by a [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya young woman with a yellow head band and a red arm band]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion a young angsty mecha pilot who wants to run away]] they come from across the sea in the name of exploration until Eddie offends them by accident and they seek revenge.

** [[spoiler:Drowned Ophelia is to Ophelia]] as Mr. Scratch is to Alan. You really might be onto something, here.

** Not sure, this actually might have some merit. If I recall correctly, it's only ever specified that the Coil are immune to the ''call'' of the Tears, not necessarily that they can't be affected by them at all. Doviculus was able to throw them around in the final battle, after all; stealing [[spoiler: Drowned Ophelia's heart]] couldn't be the only cause.

[[spoiler:Eddie's demonic]] transformation is not a result of [[spoiler:his mixed ancestry]], but inherited directly from her. Succoria's only depiction in the game does not have any visible wings, and yet she is described as "White-Winged Death".

Because as we know from the CreationMyth, [[GodIsDead Ormagoden is dead]] and [[PiecesOfGod everything in the Age of Metal consists of his Blood, Fire, Noise and Metal]]. Of course, gods have a tendency to come BackFromTheDead and the Age of Metal may be [[NeverTrustATrailer actually far future rather than ancient times]], but let's compare the Ormagoden of legend and the cutscene Ormagoden. The legendary Ormagoden illuminated the entire world and had enough blood in him to drown it completely and create it anew. The cutscene Ormagoden merely sent Eddie to the Age of Metal, then killed the Kabbage Boys and proceeded to roar angrily at their fans (which, if you think of it, is as impressive as writing them stern letters). The difference in destructive potential is obvious. So my theory is: the actual Ormagoden is dead, but Eddie's belt buckle contained a much inferior image of him, strong enough to fight off anyone pursuing its owner at the moment, then protect him until the transportation is complete. Would make sense for [[spoiler:the Demons to devise such a "getaway driver" for their Empress in case she was pursued, wounded, and needed a ride back ''fast'', and also to give it the appearance of the most horrifying thing known in the Age of Metal]].

* BetterThanCanon. It also perfectly explains why the alternate world can be so influenced and steeped in references and lore to heavy metal, not to mention why the Riggs managed to get things done so easily and so well in this world.

*** Or, pair meaning "[[BuxomIsBetter Huge... tracts of land]]"

As a part of the sequel "Brütal Legend: [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Return of the Queen]]" (complete with a teaser trailer consisting of Eddie Riggs running towards and trough the camera with a raised sword and an Army of Fans following him) comes The Queen Army.

[[WMG: The Next Leader of the Drowning Doom will be an expy of Voltaire]]
What better way to satirize Goths than have yourself be their leader in a video game?

* This Troper would not like this, since Classical music inspired Heavy Metal.

By analogy to the [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Middle-Earth]], Madranol (a.k.a. the Teated Tree of Drinking) was Telperion, and the Sacred Beer Tree, the White Tree of Gondor, the poor man's version of the lost Telperion.
