History WesternAnimation / AlienatorsEvolutionContinues

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Genus, with the exception of Gassie, who was created in a laboratory instead of being a natural member of the HordeOfAlienLocusts.

* {{Gasshole}}: Gassie, who can be described as a flatulent 3 eyed Pikachu made of slime. Hench the Meaningful nickname.

* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Scopes is constantly going on about how the Genus are a perfectly harmonious super organism, and at one point makes a beeline for Ira's parents while yelling, "You have wiped out my family, now I shall wipe out yours!" after a batch of fellow Genus are taken out in "Ira Knows Best."

%%* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: For some reason, our heroes need brightly colored jumpsuits. (ZCE- what is the significance of this?)

''Alienators: Evolution Continues'' (a.k.a. ''Evolution: The Animated Series'' for British audiences) was an animated series that ran from 2001 to 2002 on Creator/FoxKids, based on the 2001 movie ''Film/{{Evolution}}''. The story picks up after the events of the film, following the continuing adventures of Ira Kane, Harry Block, and Wayne Grey, and also introduces a fourth hero in the form of a Blue Beret soldier named Lt. Lucy Mai and a TeamPet named Gassie, as well as the BigBad known as SCOPES, leader of an army of StarfishAliens called the Genus.

* BigBad: SCOPES. Whenever one was destroyed another SCOPES would be generated, with each one being [[ItCanThink smarter]] than the last due to a "telepathic GeneticMemory."
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: For some reason ([[FollowTheLeader cough]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers cough]]) our heroes need brightly colored jumpsuits.

Lucy Mai and a TeamPet named Gassie, as well as the BigBad known as Scopes, leader of an army of StarfishAliens called the Genus.

* AdaptationalVillainy: It was inferred in the film that the aliens were merely wild and freaked out beasts reacting to their new, strange environment. In the series it's made explicit (via Scopes, once he becomes intelligible) that they're malevolent invaders.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: In the second episode Ira listened to a recording of Scopes' roars and [[HollywoodScience deduced]] that Scopes was in fact speaking in binary. He then translated it into English to reveal some generic megalomaniacal threats. The next time Scopes appeared he'd become fluent in English.

* BigBad: Scopes. Whenever one was destroyed another Scopes would be generated, with each one being [[ItCanThink smarter]] than the last due to a "telepathic GeneticMemory."

* GeneticMemory: The Genus has this as part of a HiveMind basis with Scopes acting as a sort of HiveQueen.

* LesCollaborateurs: [[InsaneAdmiral General Granger]] as part of his [[TyrantTakesTheHelm New World Order]] scheme teams-up with the Genus. Scopes however planned to have him RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.

* LesCollaborateurs: [[GeneralRipper General Granger]] as part of his [[TyrantTakesTheHelm New World Order]] scheme teams-up with the Genus. Scopes however planned to have him RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.

* SpiritualSuccessor (no pun intended): To ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''.

* ExactWords: In one episode Harry and Ira are in a military jail with Lucy as the guard. General Granger orders her to not let "those clowns" out. Since Harry and Ira are not "clowns" she lets them out after trolling them for a minute.

* TeamPet: Gassie.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: In one of the early episodes Ira listened to a recording of Scopes' roars and suddenly deduced that Scopes was in fact speaking in binary ([[HollywoodScience or something]]). He then [[HollywoodScience translated it into English to reveal some generic megalomaniacal threats.]] The next time Scopes appeared, he'd lost his inner mouth/ring of teeth and was suddenly speaking English.
* AnimatedAdaptation
* BigBad: Scopes. Whenever it was destroyed, another Scopes would be generated and, as a side-effect of [[GeneticMemory sharing the experiences and memories of their predecessors]], it started [[ItCanThink becoming]] [[SuddenlyVoiced intelligent]].
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: For some reason ([[FollowTheLeader cough]] [[PowerRangers cough]]) our heroes need brightly colored jumpsuits here.
* DaChief: General Woodman and Allison Reed.
* DefrostingIceQueen: If you thought Allison Reed was a little chilly in the movie, Mai takes it UpToEleven. Despite this, Ira still seems to be all over her.

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Apparently, the police and US military had switched wholesale to energy weapons after the events of the movie.

** Wayne isn't just a fireman in training now - for some reason he's an engineering genius who soups up their fire engine on a daily basis, even though by his own admission in the movie, Wayne's knowledge of science extended to doing some chemistry in High School.
** In the movie, Harry Block wasn't really interested in ''sport'' - he was interested in ''women's sports'' because... it was funny. In a Creator/FoxKids show that's completely unthinkable, so he's just a sports nut. He was a funny guy but he was still a qualified teacher. Now, you guessed it... sports nut. Oh, and he's got dreadlocks, because all black people have dreadlocks.
** Ira seems to be much younger. He has become so stupidly into science to the exclusion of almost everything else that it's not even funny.
** Woodman didn't hate Ira before; he was just an arrogant JerkAss who looked down on him because he had been fired, and for a good reason. Now he hates Ira because he's got a medal for saving the world and Woodman doesn't have a medal. He's also lost his BadassMoustache for some reason.

* HowWeGotHere: "To Carthage Then I Came", which begins with Lucy carrying an unconcious Wayne through the deserts of Tunisia, and then she narrates a flashback on what happened to them, Ira, Harry, and Gassie earlier that day, before returning to the climax.
* LesCollaborateurs: [[GeneralRipper General Granger]] as part of his [[TyrantTakesTheHelm New World Order]] scheme teams up with the Genus. Scopes however planned to have him RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.
* MeaningfulName: Scopes. Also, Gassie, who is a GassHole.
* RealityEnsues: At the end of the movie, Wayne was dubbed a honorary fireman by the governor, but in the three-part pilot episode "Survival", Wayne claims that he is still a "fireman in training." Just because you're an "honorary" fireman doesn't meaning your training's finished.
* SelfDestructMechanism: The Center for Impending Disasters has one in the form a NeutronBomb due to the fact that the lab used to be use for studying viruses and need to prevent an viral outbreak.

* [[WeaponisedCar Weaponised Vehicle]]: The team's ride, an old fire engine Wayne found and refitted [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Ecto-1]] style.

* {{Flanderization}}: Wayne isn't just a fireman in training now - for some reason he's an engineering genius who soups up their fire engine on a daily basis, even though by his own admission in the movie, Wayne's knowledge of science extended to doing some chemistry in High School.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Woodman describes Lieutenant Mai as being a reliable soldier, top in their class. In drives a slim young woman in a vaguely military-ish shirt on a non-standard motorbike and trousers who wears her hair loose and has dyed streaks in it.

** In the movie, Harry Block wasn't really interested in ''sport'' - he was interested in ''women's sports'' because... well, because it made him look like a bit of a pervert.

* {{Flanderization}}: Wayne and Allison, where Wayne is younger, no longer a skirt chaser, is much more of a jock, and has his surname changed from "Grey" to "Green." Allison, meanwhile, is far less clumsy, and her relationship with Ira is non-existent.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Harry Block wasn't interested in ''sport'' - he was interested in ''women's sports'' because he was a StealthPervert.
