Basic Trope: A character who is destined to end the world but does not want to.
- Straight: Alice is the antichrist, but she likes humanity.
- Exaggerated: Alice the Eldritch Abomination and the Devil him/herself is practically The Messiah who tries to please humanity and stops The End of the World as We Know It that she is destined to bring forth, even becoming a full-blown Christ Figure in the process.
- Downplayed: Satan mentions that Alice is destined to destroy the world... but she goes back to whatever she was doing before and it never comes up again.
- Justified:
- The Power of Love shows her that Humans Are Special.
- Alice has free will, and ended up being raising by caring parents.
- Alice is lazy and doesn't want to have to do all that work .
- Alice has made friends with some of the humans.
- Alice thinks that destroying humanity is utterly pointless and doesn't see anything to gain from it.
- Inverted:
- Subverted:
- Double Subverted: She develops a spine and Calls The Old Man Out.
- Parodied: "I am Alice the Antichrist, here to save the day from Pollution!"
- Zig-zagged: "I don't want to end the world, until my favorite show ends."
- Averted:
- There is no Antichrist.
- Alternatively, Alice is destined to end the world and totally wants to.
- Enforced: We have to show people that you can Screw Destiny.
- Lampshaded: "So you're the Antichrist, but you're saving kittens from trees?"
- Invoked: "Don't worry, the Antichrist never likes their job."
- Exploited: "I knew you wouldn't do it, you like us too much."
- Defied: "You are going to destroy the world and like it."
- Discussed: "You don't have to destroy the world, Alice."
- Conversed: "Why did they bother making her the Antichrist?"
- Deconstructed: Alice learns You Can't Fight Fate.
- Reconstructed:
- Alice studied the Exact Words of the prophecy and found that it said nothing about being unable to recreate the world afterwards.
- ...and by fate, we mean cause-and-effect & that some stupid prophecy can't change her decision.
- Played For Laughs: "I don't wanna destroy the world! *throws a temper tantrum*"
- Played For Drama: "Alice is at a children's hospital: "I can't hold it off forever.""
