8 | !!This web animation provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AllThereInTheScript: Aviv Jacobi's name isn't spoken in the main short, instead featured in the credits. |
11 | * BringIt: Before fighting Encyclopath's henchmen, Origami settles into a combat stance and gestures for them to approach. |
12 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Jacobi tells the assembled villains that they all share a common problem, we get this: |
13 | -->'''Miss Conduct:''' Lack of... psychotherapy?\ |
14 | ''({{Beat}})''\ |
15 | '''Jacobi:''' I meant the Red Eclipse. |
16 | * {{Contortionist}}: [[ProfessionalKiller Origami]] is introduced by cutting herself out of the package she shipped herself in. |
17 | * ElementalHairComposition: Miss Conduct's hair is pure energy, just like the rest of her body. |
18 | * EvilOldFolks: |
19 | ** Verdict is a typical looking elderly cartoonish judge and he's also a supervillain |
20 | ** Miss Conduct also has some aspects to her design that imply she's an older woman. |
21 | * EyeScream: During her fight with the KingMook, Origami caves his face in with a headbutt. The man proceeds to spit out his own eyeball, get up, ''[[{{Determinator}} and carry on fighting]]''. |
22 | * FreezeFrameBonus: By pausing during the massacre, it's possible to see several moments where Origami shows herself to be NotSoStoic. For example, during the final sword fight with a KingMook, after he gets up following Origami's infliction of EyeScream, you can see for a split second that Origami has a "[[WhyWontYouDie holy shit, you survived that?]]" expression. |
23 | * TheGhost: In spite of being the title character, the Red Eclipse does not make an appearance. |
24 | * HandsGoDown: When the other villains discuss how to deal with the Red Eclipse, Blot raises his hand, hesitant. |
25 | -->'''Jacobi:''' Do you ''have'' a [[PianoDrop piano]]?\ |
26 | ''(Blot reabsorbs his hand)'' |
27 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: Miss Conduct gives Origami her phone number after witnessing the latter's massacre of Encyclopath's mooks. |
28 | * MeaningfulName: If they ARE even their names/codenames, then each of the words on each of the Factotums' hats each roughly describe them. The short first one's hat says "cockalorum", which means "a self-important little man", the sole female one's hat says "termagnant", which means "a harsh-tempered or overbearing woman", etc. |
29 | * OpaqueLenses: Verdict's glasses are completely white. |
30 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Encyclopath speaks almost exclusively this way. Blot engages in CopycatMockery, while Miss Conduct accuses him of having DelusionsOfEloquence. |
31 | * SoundtrackDissonance: Origami's massacre of Encyclopath's "factotums" is backed by "[[Music/RayCharles Hit the Road, Jack]]". |
32 | * TheStinger: After the credits, there's a short scene of Origami in her apartment, cooking on the stove. The camera zooms out to show a bunch of dollar bills on her table folded into origami cranes. |
33 | * WholePlotReference: The premise is that the villains are meeting in a warehouse to discuss a way to dispatch the Red Eclipse, it opens with them playing poker while waiting for Aviv. All of this pays homage to the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Almost Got 'Im". |
