Recap: Justice League Unlimited S 3 E 7 Patriot Act
|
Tropes:- Black and White Insanity: General Eiling clearly suffers from this.
- Canon Immigrant: Eiling was first mentioned in the third incarnation of the Justice League (the JLA comics series). In that version, he was suffering from a brain tumor, leading him to give illogical orders and transplant his mind into the body of the "Shaggy Man."
- The Fundamentalist: Eiling again. He's just nuts.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Played with, as the members of the league aren't the immoral tyrants Eiling thinks they are, but that's what he becomes. (It doesn't hurt that the League members he's fighting have no powers.)
- Knight Templar: Inverted in that Shining Knight is more considerate of civilians and humane measures than his opponent.
- Secret Test of Character: The Shining Knight recounts one of these as a parable.
- Straw Character: Some of Eiling's arguments are rather obviously ultra-right.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Eiling genuinely believes that he's protecting the world from metahumans.
- What Measure Is a Non-Badass?: Invoked repeatedly, as the entire reason that Eiling's not fighting the JLA's A-team is that the parade was considered too unimportant for Superman's busy schedule.
