* HumansAreBastards: Pleasantly averted for a show with such a prominent GreenAesop. Yes, B.I.G was made up of humans, but most of the heroes were human too and any non-B.I.G people that showed up tended to vary rather than all being greedy and evil. It just seemed to come down to personality. Even some of the B.I.G members got PetTheDog moments sometimes.
