Playing With: Anti Anti Christ
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.""
