* PlayingAgainstType: In the US, Peter Serafinowicz is primarily known as the asshole roommate Pete in ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', the asshole Nova Corpsman Garthan Saal in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', and the voice of [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Darth Maul]], all very British. Here, he's playing a flamboyant BigGood CloudCuckoolander.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Creator/GriffinNewman has been none-too-shy about accusing Creator/PrimeVideo of treating the show with disdain and effectively dooming its second season to failure, and has since gone on to harshly criticize the streaming television model in general. Indeed, season 2 of ''The Tick'' received drastically less online advertising compared to ''Series/{{Hanna}}'' (which debuted just a few weeks earlier) as well as ''[[Series/TheBoys2019 The Boys]]'' (another Amazon superhero show that premiered just months afterwards, and whose second season was treated as a major event by the network).

Fixing the trope name and removing the My Hero Academia entry. The trope entry is just a list of similarities but doesn't seem to describe any actual dueling between them.


* DuelingShows: With two shockingly different takes on street-level Superheroes who follow The Hero's Journey and launching one week apart with similarly low episode counts, this and ''Series/TheDefenders2017'' have drawn inevitable comparisons in reviews. The Tick's main draw in comparison has been it's ability to keep a grounded, entertaining story without having to resort to a dark tone to keep audiences hooked, much like ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' did to ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' before.
** Also, we have a [[NarmCharm lovably hammy]] send-up of classic hero archetypes with SuperStrength taking a small, meek protege who lacks in self-confidence, but sincerely wants to do the right thing even when the world seems to be trying to tell them they can't. At the same time, we have a villain who is [[TheHeavy the main antagonist our heroes have to deal with]] over the course of the first season, but who is actually TheDragon for a criminal mastermind who's been around since the age of superheroes began, and with whom they have a surprisingly close mentor[=/=]student relationship. Are we talking about ''The Tick'' or ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''?
