1 | '''Basic Trope''': A member of an otherwise identical group has a distinguishing feature. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Alice is the only member of the Tropian RedshirtArmy who doesn't wear a helmet. She's the only Tropian with a name and any character development. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': All of the Tropians are identical looking 4' high, blue RubberForeheadAliens, except for Alice, who just looks like a human with blue skin. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': All the Tropian characters dress the same except Alice, but they're each portrayed by actors with unique prosthetics. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Alice is the only Tropian who's interested in interacting with humans. [[HumansAreSmelly The rest wear their helmets to keep out the smell]]. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': Alice is the identical twin of an important character, making her the only Tropian ''without'' a unique appearance. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': Alice proves to be a Redshirt. The rest of the army remove their helmets at her funeral and several become important characters. |
8 | * '''Double Subverted''': Outside of this group, Tropians still wear their helmets. |
9 | * '''Parodied''': The Tropians pray to "Makup D'patmnt", the god of individuality, for permission to remove their helmets. |
10 | * '''Zig Zagged''': There are several Tropians who don't wear helmets, but they don't always appear with the rest of them. |
11 | * '''Averted''': None of the Tropians wear their helmets (all the time at least). |
12 | * '''Enforced''': |
13 | ** The makeup for Tropians is too expensive to apply to all the extras. |
14 | ** The creators of the work want to make it obvious which Tropian is supposed to be Alice. |
15 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Are your friends gonna take their helmets off?" |
16 | * '''Invoked''': "You guys keep your helmets on; I'll do the talking." |
17 | * '''Exploited''': The Tropians actually hire quite a lot of human criminals as mercenaries. Having them wear their helmets all the time helps keep this secret. |
18 | * '''Defied''': Bob refuses to let Alice on board unless her comrades remove their helmets too. |
19 | * '''Discussed''': "OK, find one without a helmet; they're probably going to be our token Tropian." |
20 | * '''Conversed''': "So, are the rest of them keeping their helmets on to save the budget?" |
21 | * '''Implied''': Alice is mentioned in passing, and one of the RedShirt Tropians has a slightly different helmet, but it's never confirmed if they're her. |
22 | * '''Deconstructed''': The lack of any individuality means that non-Alice Tropians are dehumanised in the eyes of everyone else, and treated with less respect. |
23 | * '''Reconstructed''': Alice delivers AnAesop, causing the rest of the cast to be more polite in future. |
24 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Even Alice has trouble telling her comrades apart. |
25 | * '''Played For Drama''': Alice is given a unique appearance to help rub it in when she's dramatically killed off. |
