3 | ---- |
4 | !!Tropes: |
5 | * AnimalVehicleHybrid: Dragoncycles, dragons whose arms and legs are permanently connected to wheels, and can of course be ridden like motorcycles. |
6 | * BadassCape: As an adult, Marco wears his hoodie as a short hooded cape. |
7 | * BadassNormal: Hekapoo lampshades that Marco is "fun" for a human with no powers. |
8 | * BittersweetEnding: Marco comes back to Earth with his own pair of dimensional scissors to replace Star's and his body mostly back to normal, but he leaves behind his new [[FutureBadass adult life of adventure]] and there's a somber implication that he's going to have some trouble readjusting to his old life again. Plus, he's forgotten his passwords. |
9 | * CharacterDevelopment: |
10 | ** Marco's experience makes him much more mature and responsible, as he immediately agrees to walk the Laser Puppies when he returns. |
11 | ** Star is shown practicing magic on her own without needing a TricksterMentor like Glossaryck to manipulate her into learning like before. |
12 | * CoolBike: Nachos, Marco's Dragon-Cycle. |
13 | * {{Determinator}}: Marco. It took him sixteen years and loads of NoodleIncidents for him to find and blow out the flames of all of Hekapoo's clones, just so he could get the dimensional scissors. |
14 | * DistinctionWithoutADifference: Pony Head didn't "steal" Hekapoo's dimensional scissors, she found them… when Hekapoo left them in the ladies' room at the Bounce Lounge. |
15 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Star fails to hear most of Marco's story about his adventures because [[EatingTheEyeCandy she's too busy drooling over his abs]]. |
16 | * DopeSlap: Hekapoo keeps slapping Marco on the back of his head, burning a bald spot she calls the "mark of Hekapoo". Marco is peeved that the bald spot is the only thing that remains after he returns to Earth. |
17 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: Star can't help but admire Marco's aged-up self. |
18 | * FailedASpotCheck: The man walking his dog who wanders into the Diaz's house through a portal seems to be totally oblivious to the fact he's now indoors and nearly gets his dog Joffrey to pee on the couch. |
19 | * FoeRomanceSubtext: The way Marco and Hekapoo interact gets suspiciously flirtatious at times, not to mention him calling her [[AffectionateNickname H-poo]]. |
20 | * FutureBadass: Marco becomes a buff, leather-jacket-wearing tough guy after sixteen years of hopping through dimensions. He's thoroughly disappointed when [[ResetButton he goes back to being a scrawny teenager]] after returning to Earth. |
21 | * HeIsAllGrownUp: Marco becomes [[HeroicBuild a total hunk]] as an adult, and Star definitely notices. |
22 | * IChooseToStay: Subverted as Star convinces Marco to go back home. |
23 | * InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: Hekapoo refers to Earth as a "stinky dirt rock". |
24 | * IWantToBeARealMan: Marco spends ''sixteen years'' becoming manly. |
25 | * KarmaHoudini: Flying Princess Pony Head was the one who stole Hekapoo's scissors, but Marco is the one who gets in trouble for abusing them. |
26 | * MundaneUtility: Marco gets "scissor happy" and starts using the dimensional scissors in increasingly trivial ways. Unfortunately for him, this draws the attention of Hekapoo. |
27 | * NobodyCallsMeChicken: Marco goes after Hekapoo because she goads him about being a "little boy" and not being man enough to get the scissors back. |
28 | * OlderThanTheyLook: |
29 | ** While Marco is back to being physically fourteen years old at the end of the episode, he still has his memories of his extra-dimensional adventure and is technically thirty. |
30 | ** Hekapoo herself looks and often acts like a teenager or young woman but is clearly much older, considering her spot on the Magic High Commission and the [[YearInsideHourOutside nature]] of her dimension. |
31 | * PetTheDog: While goading Marco, Hekapoo does offer him a portal that immediately leads home. [[{{Troll}} (If we can trust her word.)]] |
32 | * ResetButton: The minute Marco returns to his dimension, he's de-aged back to a fourteen-year old. Marco is not happy about losing his hot bod. Or keeping the bald spot from when Hekapoo slapped him on the back of the head. |
33 | * SelfDuplication: Hekapoo has the power to generate hundreds of clones of herself, which vanish into thin air when the flames on their heads go out. |
34 | * ShipTease: Marco once again gets some more ShipTease with other characters. |
35 | ** After tracking her down for nearly two decades, Marco and Hekapoo seem to have a flirty thing going, as mentioned above. Hekapoo gives him a bald spot as a parting gift and hints that she'd like to see him again. |
36 | ** Star is seriously DistractedByTheSexy when she sees the FutureBadass Marco, is barely able to finish her sentences, and is a key reason he decides to return to Earth instead of staying with his exciting new life. |
37 | * ShoutOut: Marco's Dragoncycle looks like Music/JudasPriest's Painkiller Album cover |
38 | * TattooAsCharacterType: Marco gains a tattoo of a pair of scissors on his left bicep. |
39 | * ThisIsThePartWhere: When Marco finally corners Hekapoo in her workshop, she quips, “This is the part where you blow out my flame…” |
40 | * UnusualEuphemism: Hekapoo calls Marco a [[PrecisionFStrike flesh]]-wad, in much the same manner that someone would say... something else. |
41 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Hekapoo's clones disappear when the flame on top of their heads is blown out. Blowing out the actual Hekapoo's flame appears to have no effect on her whatsoever. |
42 | * WhenYouSnatchThePebble: Hekapoo confiscates her scissors from Marco, but tells him she'll give him a new pair if he can track her down and blow out the flame on her head. |
43 | * YearInsideHourOutside: While it's been sixteen years for Marco in his quest to catch Hekapoo, it's only been about eight minutes back on Earth. This shocks Marco to the point of near-speechlessness. |
44 | -->'''Star:''' 16 years? You've been gone from Earth for like, eight minutes.\ |
45 | '''[[FutureBadass Marco:]]''' '''...EIGHT MINUTES?!'''\ |
46 | '''[[{{Troll}} Hekapoo:]]''' Yeah, I forgot to tell you that [[LampshadeHanging time passes differently in this dimension.]] Not sorry. |
47 | * YouDidntAsk: Hekapoo doesn't respond with much compassion when Marco finds out only eight minutes have passed on Earth. He does go into StunnedSilence. |
