2	-->--The stories description
3
4	''Thumper Conquers the Universe'' is an...unusual fanfic centered around Thumper the Rabbit, and a lot of other characters too.
5
6	It all starts with Thumper being bored out of his skull, and pondering how much of a wimp he is in the context of all things. Fortunately, he stumbles across Genie's magic lamp, and after a brief talk with Genie about the nature of cosmic power, he wishes for it himself. Genie reluctantly grants him it, but the little rabbit is so overwhelmed by the sheer raw power he's just gained, that it drives him insane and turns him into a bloodthirsty genocidal maniac, and the rest of the multiverse is forced to band together to stop him.
7
8	If the opening headline doesn't tip you off, the story is meant to be a sendup of DarkerAndEdgier takes on Disney stories, as well as a {{parody}} of the MemeticBadass internet trends.
9
10	!Tropes:
11
12	* AdaptationalWimp: Darkseid, one of the most powerful characters in the DC Universe, is effortlessly defeated by Thumper by the rabbit simply stepping on his toe, sending him fleeing and weeping like a crybaby.
13	* AdaptationalVillainy: Thumper, an adorable baby rabbit who is as far from evil as you can get, becomes the villain of this story.
14	* AlternateContinuity: The story isn't set in any particular continuity. Its just an excuse to have Thumper become an all powerful evil character and have a lot of crossover characters team up to fight him.
15	* BullyingADragon:
16	** Newscasters [[VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked Dallas and Juanita]] frequently pop up during the story, offering their own commentary on whats going on and make frequent jabs at Thumper, who mind you is tearing apart the whole planet with his actions and could effortlessly kill them if he wanted to. [[spoiler:It eventually comes to bite them in the rear when Thumper finds their TV station, and Thumper makes Dallas' head explode, leaving Juanita to mourn over him.]]
17	** The Condiment King purposefully invokes this to distract Thumper so a group of innocent people can escape his wrath.
18	* CarFu: [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Marty Mcfly]] tries to get rid of Thumper by ramming him with the [=DeLorean=] just as it travels through time, attempting to trap him at the very end of time itself in a last ditch effort to stop him. [[spoiler:It doesn't work--Thumper kills Marty and uses the [=DeLorean=] to return to the present.]]
19	* ComesGreatInsanity: Thumper wishes for ultra phenomenal cosmic power with a cherry on top, two eggs and a slice of bacon from Genie, and he gets just that--and it drives him insane in the process.
20	* CrackFic: There aren't many other things you can call a fanfic where ''Thumper'' of all characters becomes an OmnicidalManiac.
21	* DancePartyEnding: [[spoiler:After Thumper undoes everything caused by his first wish, he uses Genie's last wish to have a disco dance party with a colony of Rabbids.]]
22	* DarkerAndEdgier: The fic is meant to be a parody of the trope.
23	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Genie is seemingly killed by Thumper early in the story--except he wasn't. Thumper's energy blast just severely weakened him to the point that he can't even manifest his corporeal form or even speak for a while, much less use magic.]]
24	* DramaPreservingHandicap: The reason Genie is [[spoiler:seemingly]] killed off early on is because if someone else got ahold of his lamp, [[StoryBreakerPower they could use one of his wishes to end the conflict right then and there]]. [[spoiler:Ironically, by the time Genie has recuperated, its just in time for Thumper to finally despair at all the horrible things he's done, and he uses his second wish to undo the entire story.]]
25	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
26	** PlayedForLaughs at one point. Thumper may have become an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac with his first wish, but he draws the line at laying a paw on [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mister Rogers]], saying that even harming him is [[LampshadeHanging "too evil, even for me."]]
27	** [[spoiler:Played straight when Thumper accidentally kills Bambi, which is what finally snaps him out of his evil maniacal power trip.]]
28	* ExcusePlot: Don't even try to make sense of the story, or why ''Thumper'' of all people would want any kind of power--its just an excuse to make a ridiculous crossover with Anime/DragonballZ and Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann-scale battles.
29	* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After killing Bambi, Thumper finally breaks free of his power-induced insanity and falls into despair about all the lives he destroyed because of his thoughtlessness.]]
30	* HeroicSacrifice: The Condiment King distracts Thumper from attacking a building full of innocent people with a punch of terrible food puns before he inevitably gets killed by him, all to buy time for them to escape.
31	* HopeSpot:
32	** PlayedForLaughs when Mickey Mouse calls upon God himself (who apparently has the likeness of Creator/WaltDisney), expecting him to join the fight. He promptly responds with "I'm not in this."
33	** PlayedForDrama when Marty Mcfly uses the [=DeLorean=] to try and trap Thumper to the ends of time. [[spoiler:It fails--Thumper kills Marty and steals the [=DeLorean=] to return to the present.]]
34	** Hope blooms when an ensemble of characters, which consists of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White]], [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail And Monty Python And The Holy Grail's Black Knight,]][[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini and Benito Mussolini,]] [[WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine and the Blue Meanie]] [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie]], {{Franchise/Robocop}}, [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} The Terminator]], [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk]] [[Franchise/StarWars and Darth Vader]], [[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Lo-Pan,]] [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Superman,]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers every single Power Ranger]], [[Franchise/BillAndTed Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan]], [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Spock]], [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], [[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Doc Ock]] [[Wrestling/HulkHogan and Hulk Hogan,]] come out of nowhere to fight Thumper. [[OneHitKill He immediately vaporizes them]] [[AntiClimax all in one energy blast.]]
35	* HurricaneOfPuns: The Condiment King delivers a bunch of food-related puns to Thumper to distract him. Thumper just gets annoyed by him and tries to move on, but the King finally [[BullyingADragon provokes him into a fight]] by [[EyeScream squirting mustard in his eyes.]]
36	* IWarnedYou: Genie, knowing he can't stop Thumper from making any wish that doesn't break his four rules[[note]]no killing with the actual wishes, no making people fall in love, no resurrecting the dead, and ixnay on the wishing for more wishes[[/note]], tries to warn him that, being as young as he is, he probably couldn't handle the sheer amount of mental stress his newfound power will put on his mind. Thumper doesn't listen, makes the wish, and is driven insane by his new abilities. Horrified at what he's become, Genie points out that he warned him, and offers to undo it with one of his other two wishes. [[spoiler:Thumper (seemingly) destroys him in retaliation.]]
37	* LoopholeAbuse: How the conflict is finally resolved. [[spoiler:Genie points out that he can't bring people back from the dead, but he ''can'' grant time travel wishes to undo a future event. It doesn't give your previous wishes back, though.]]
38	* OhCrap: When Thumper is thinking about wishing for power, Genie tries to talk him out of it by pointing out what happened to the last person who got it (Jafar becoming a genie, but getting trapped in a lamp and being subservient to others and bound to the rules of a Genie), thinking he'll take the bait--but to his shock, Thumper astutely points out that that happened because Jafar specifically wished to be a ''genie'', not just an all powerful being.
39	* {{Parody}}:
40	** The whole fic is meant to be a spoof of the MemeticBadass trope by taking the least likely character to ever be a badass, Thumper the Rabbit, and make him into a ludicrously overpowered demigod who can wipe the floor with ''any'' foe he comes across.
41	** Its also meant to be a send-up of the idea of Disney works being made much DarkerAndEdgier by applying it to one of Disney's cutest characters and the rest of the Disney universe in general.
42	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Thumper is less than a foot tall in height, but his first wish makes him so powerful that he can hand powerful characters like ''Darkseid'' their ass on a silver platter.
43	* RunningGag: Dallas and Juanita frequently popping up to offer news commentary on Thumper's worldwide rampage. [[spoiler:Gets RunningGagged midway thru when Thumper kills Dallas. The Ed Boys take over their news station from then on, and thankfully survive the rest of the story.]]
44	* ShockwaveStomp: Thumper's namesake habit becomes weaponized by the rabbit this way, and it is able to level an ''entire city'' with just a few of them.
45	* ShoutOut:
46	** The title is a reference to ''[[Film/FlashGordonSerial Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe]]''.
47	** Among the characters banding together to fight Thumper include the group of characters from the climax of ''Music/TheUltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny''.
48	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After Thumper [[spoiler:kills Bambi and falls into a state of despair upon comprehending all the chaos he's done]], [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone Merlin]] verbally rips him a new one, topping it off with "Congratulations, boy! You've [[TitleDrop conquered the universe]]...and yet, you're '''nothing'''."
49	* TakeThat: UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is among Thumper's initial victims. His death is met with [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing thunderous applause from a crowd]]--[[MassOhCrap until Thumper tells them he's going to kill]] ''[[MassOhCrap them]]'' [[MassOhCrap as well.]]
50	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Thumper wishes for phenomenal cosmic power, Genie at least tries to talk him out of it, pointing out the ramifications of what could happen. Thumper just gets annoyed and orders him to go through with it, and Genie has no choice but to comply, with a look on his face that screams "You don't know what you're in for, kid."
51	* ThreeWishes: Thumper gets three of them from Genie, with the rules that apply. The first one sets off the events of the fic. [[spoiler:The second wish undoes all of it. Since he travelled back in time to before he made his first wish, Thumper asks if he gets his first two wishes back, but Genie tells him not to push his luck. The third wish is just to take part in a disco jam with a colony of Rabbids.]]
52	* TheWorfEffect:
53	** Thumper's very first victim is Genie, one of the most powerful characters in the Disney pantheon. Also justified, considering Genie basically handed him unimaginable power. [[spoiler:However, it's revealed he wasn't killed, just severely weakened and forced into hiding until he could recuperate.]]
54	** Broli is summoned to take down Thumper early on. Thumper shrinks him down to the size of a pin and chews up him like candy.
55	** The Silver Surfer also shows up to try and stop him. Thumper beats him by [[VideoGame/SilverSurfer1990 throwing a rubber duck at him, knocking him off his board and putting him out of commission]].
56	** Curiously, Princess Celestia does '''[[AvertedTrope not]]''' suffer this like she does in the show she hails from, and at least manages to hold her own against Thumper for a while until he eventually overwhelms her with his sheer raw power. Its justified, as it happens fairly early in the story, where Thumper is [[UnskilledButStrong still trying to get ahold of his newfound powers.]]
