History WesternAnimation / XavierRenegadeAngel

!!This show provides examples of:

* BreakTheHaughty: Xavier does this to the spoiled child of the above mentioned rich old man to teach him humility.

* BloodyMurder: One episode ends with an army of killer indians made out of blood when a rich old man tries to mine an indian burial ground for blood to inject into himself so he can legally own an indian casino.

* BiologicalMashUp: Xavier is covered in thick fur, has six nipples, a beak, backwards bending legs, and a snake for an arm. Not even {{Wikipedia}}'s sure what he's supposed to be.
** When he gets a finger cut off, it grows back. As a ''snake''. While that may account for his snake arm, it entirely fails to address ''why'' it happens.

Explain ''Xavier: Renegade Angel'' here? [[StockPhrases Greater men than you have tried and failed]].

Created by PFFR (the minds behind ''WonderShowzen'') for Creator/AdultSwim, ''Xavier: Renegade Angel'' is (ostensibly) about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it says it's about]]; good luck finding out what it's ''really'' about, though. The eponymous Xavier is either an actual fallen angel or just some sort of cosmic abomination that was abandoned at birth. Forced to WalkTheEarth because everyone hates him, Xavier tries to help people -- but at worst, he invents problems where none exist and causes tons of carnage, and at best, he somehow gets ''everyone'' to put aside their differences towards the common goal of ''beating him senseless''.

The show was largely one huge MindScrew, with Xavier speaking in a near-continuous, stream-of-consciousness...well, ''stream'' of narrative/conversation/wisdom/puns/portmanteaux/"unintentional" double-entendre/callbacks. The show's only real narrative story is a ongoing subplot involving Xavier's incredibly screwed-up childhood and the death of his adoptive mother. Xavier was able to talk to himself as a child via a tear in the fabric of space-time, and this meeting caused Xavier's younger self to become a clingy freak of nature towards his apathetic adoptive mother, which drove her to drink and take pills to cope with life. Xavier convinces his younger self to switch his mother's pills with placebos, but just a few years later, Xavier tells his mom what he did; this causes her to think that she is hallucinating Xavier's existence. At this point, Xavier causes a fire to spread from the present into the past, which ends up killing his mother (since she believed the flames, like Xavier, were a mental hallucination).

''Xavier'' is uniquely abstract, showing concepts in a way that -- instead of using aspects such as plot -- creates connections in various patterns to prove a point. A good example is the episode "Signs From Godrilla"; this episode explores the aspects of choice and free will by using various themes, including recursion and mind/body dualism, to aid in its expression.

The show was animated in 3D with (some) motion-capture all done in {{CGI}}, which allowed for a vast range of [[UncannyValley strangeness]]; [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs it's all pretty damn trippy]], in any event. Do not take this as license to WatchItStoned: it might make more sense, but it's just as likely you'll be utterly terrified from the sensory overload. A third season was rumored to be in development after the second season's end, but those plans seem to have fallen through.

* DeadBabyComedy: Eight of them in ''a single episode.''

->''"If you so much as think about touching that boy, I'll so much as think about doing something about it."''

* TheMovie: According to the AdultSwim {{message board}}s.

* WalkingTheEarth: A parody of these kinds of shows, specifically ''Series/KungFu'' and ''WalkerTexasRanger'' (with a dash of ''TheIncredibleHulk'').

* WatchItStoned: [[YourMileageMayVary Indisputable for some, inverted for others]]. Some find the rapid-fire insanity of ''Xavier'' completely intolerable (as in, crying-into-their-hands-from-sensory-overload intolerable) on any kind of mind-altering substance (except perhaps alcohol), but find the show just fine (if confusing) sober. On the other hand, some find it intolerably boring when sober (or merely drunk) but fascinating while high (be it on cannabis, 'shrooms, or acid).

* YourMileageMayVary: Some consider it to be one of the worst show ever, but others see it as one of the most mind-blowing shows ever.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Xavier's frequent DoubleEntendre and AccidentalInnuendo (as well as having sex with a coworker while crossdressed as a gigantic black woman in the same episode where he marries the window of a man he kills) leaves it entirely unclear what his true sexual orientation could be. His snake hand, however, is decidedly straight.
