101->''"Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Analyzing Evil"''
102
103"Analyzing Evil" is a Youtube series by The Vile Eye that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin analyses and discusses villains from various media]]. In it, the narrator covers a villain's history, motives and personality in order to get a better understanding of them and determine how evil and/or sympathetic they are. Occasionally episodes will not just analyze one villain, but a group/setting.
104
105Most villains discussed are from films, however some villains from other works like [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Griffith]] and [[VideoGame/Bioshock1 Andrew Ryan]] are discussed. There is also an episode called "Ranking All The Villains I've Covered (So Far)", which is a tier list of the villains he covered on that point based on how evil they are based on a personal level and the damage they cause.
106
107!!Analyzing Evil provides examples of:
108
109* AprilFoolsDay: A few "Analyzing Evil" videos were released on April Fools. The first pretends that the Gingerbread Man from ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' was the real villain, while the second reviews ''Film/{{Rubber}}'' and The Vile Eye pretends that Robert the Tire is a serious villain. The third has him review ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'' in a casual, [[StylisticSuck intentionally amateurish manner]] [[BlatantLies while pretending the 2006 movie is a great movie]].
110* EvilVirtues: More sympathetic villains will have their good qualities analyzed in order to better see how they're still villains at the end of the day. For example, the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Thanos]] video explores how traits like honesty and conviction in his beliefs can flesh out the villain and make them less evil than, say, [[ItsAllAboutMe Pal]][[TheSociopath patine]] despite having a much larger body count.
111* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: A recurring theme in "Analyzing Evil" is that no matter how sympathetic the villain's backstory is or how justified their anger may be, it doesn't excuse their actions, and nothing justifies murder. The narrator acknowledges characters like [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Maul]] have a tragic past, but it doesn't take away that they're hateful and despicable people.
112* HateCrimesAreASpecialKindOfEvil: Villains motivated by racism and hate crimes like [[Film/DjangoUnchained Calvin Candie]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Judge Claude Frollo]] are put in the highest tier of villains ranked by how evil they are. [[Film/SchindlersList Amon Goeth]] [[ThoseWackyNazis is especially notable]] as the only villain ranked more evil than him (when the original list was made) is ''[[GalacticConqueror Pal]][[SatanicArchetype patine]]''.
113* LoveToHate: In-universe, The Vile Eye considers [[Franchise/StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] to be his favorite villain of all time, while also acknowledging he's completely evil and he ranks him in his original tier list as ''the'' most evil character he's covered so far.
114* NonMaliciousMonster: Discussed and [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] with [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]]. As Pennywise survives [[ToServeMan by eating people]] this can't be considered any more evil an act than a lion hunting a gazelle. What makes IT evil by human standards, however, [[{{Sadist}} is the needless cruelty and joy Pennywise takes in hunting]].
115* NotSoDifferentRemark: The ultimate conclusion the Vile Eye makes after analyzing [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Skynet]] is that humanity's motive to destroy Skynet is fundamentally the same as Skynet's motive to KillAllHumans-[[KillingInSelfDefense an act of self-preservation]].
116* ObliviouslyEvil: The Vile Eye ultimately concludes that [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]] can't be ranked as evil, by virtue of being victim of his own limited programming rather than any malicious intent.
117* PayEvilUntoEvil: Mentioned as a common occurrence when focus is put on organized crime like in ''Film/TheGodfather''. The narrator sees the VillainProtagonist antagonizing other villains as less evil since unlike innocents, the other villains know what kind of work they're in.
118* RonTheDeathEater: PlayedForLaughs in [[AprilFoolsDay Analyzing Evil: The Gingerbread Man]] where he reimagines [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} The Gingerbread Man]] as an evil mastermind and the true villain of the movie, [[DracoInLeatherPants while Lord Farquaad is reimagined]] as the HeroAntagonist.
119* SatanicArchetype
120** The video on [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Mr. Potter]] muses that the tycoon is the movie's equivalent of a Devil figure-he's prideful, jealous, and covetous, resents humanity, and uses temptation as his main advantage like how the Devil does to coax mankind into sinning.
121** His analysis of [[Literature/BloodMeridian Judge Holden]] goes even further and runs off the theory that Holden literally ''is'' the Devil, based on comparisons between his actions and Biblical lore, and his obsession with war and debauchery matching the Devil's goals to defile and rule over God's creation.
122* SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness: The Vile Eye made his own Tier List based on the villain's evilness rather than a typical ranking on his least to most favorite, factoring in their actions, motivation and moral agency. In the original list Palpatine is ranked as the most evil, while [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] is ranked as the least evil (HAL 9000 is in the ranking, [[ObliviouslyEvil but the Vile Eye doesn't think he's capable of counting as evil]]).
123* VillainHasAPoint: Whether the villain has a point is often discussed by the Vile Eye, but two episodes have this as a major sticking point.
124** He expresses that while a scumbag, [[Film/CapeFear Max Cady]] is justified in condemning Bowden for screwing him over legally, leading him to a HellholePrison. What pushes him over to being the villain ([[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil besides the crime that got him arrested]]) [[DisproportionateRetribution is how far he goes to get his revenge]] [[MisplacedRetribution and involving Bowden's family who are entirely innocent]].
125** One of the reasons he can't judge Skynet as truly evil (at least [[BlueAndOrangeMorality by its own machine standards]]) is because [[KillAllHumans while how it goes about it]] [[DisproportionateRetribution is excessive]], Skynet can't be faulted for acting out of self-defense because its creators planned to turn it off[[note]]which would equate to a death to a machine[[/note]] and even if it were to behave, there's no guarantee they'd let it "live".
126* WellIntentionedExtremist: The narrator puts this into test analyzing certain villains like MCU Thanos and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Ozymandias]], trying to figure out if [[VillainHasAPoint they're right]] (though this doesn't mean they ''aren't'' evil) or [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist if they're wrong or just self-centered]].

132[[Film/TheDarkKnight The Joker]] and his friends fight for "[[MemeticMutation gamer]]" rights.

134
135%%Description
136
137On June 2023 Kent Mansley would announce that he plans to eventually leave Youtube and delete his channel due to personal issues with the platform and delete his channel. However he has allowed fans to download and archive his videos. He intends to proceeded to move the Society Squad series to his Twitter label of [=SquadHub69=].
138
139!!Society Squad provides examples of:
140
141* AdaptationalHeroism: Many members of the Society Squad are villains in canon, and while [[AntiHeroTeam they're not outright heroic]] they're portrayed as a lot better here. This is particularly notable with the Joker, who goes from the nihilistic sociopath he was in Film/TheDarkKnight to AFatherToHisMen and a true friend, who's worst crime is being a proud racist[[note]]ironically a vice [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain the original Joker didn't have]][[/note]].
142* AdaptationalVillainy
143** The Yoda of Society Squad takes after [[MemeticPsychopath the ketamine-obsessed meme version]] of the character, being guilty of a mass shooting and attempted genocide of the furries. Initially it seemed he was also a rapist too and sexually assaulted Peter Griffin, but this turns out to be the work of his [[EvilKnockoff Liberal clone]].
144** [[AmbiguousSituation Possible example]] with Austin Powers. While on the Society Squad's side, he is allegedly guilty of sexual assault when in canon he was very conscientious of consent [[AboveTheInfluence and refuses to sleep with anyone intoxicated]]. The "possible" is because it's unclear if he's guilty or simply accused of said crimes like he claims.
145* AntiHeroTeam: Most of the Society Squad are a bunch of racist gamers with their own foibles, some even guilty of murder, but they're all united in a heroic effort to stop gamers from being repressed.
146* BadFuture: Part 1 of "Nightmare" has two different visions of a dystopian future.
147** The [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse "Knightmare" timeline]] is parodied with ruined, post-apocalyptic society where the liberal Joker clone [[EnemyMine teams up with Commander Joker]] to try and undo it. It's revealed as a premonition to the present day Commander Joker by Joe Swanson's ghost.
148** In order to convince Arthur Fleck to embrace his cause, Palpatine shows him a future where the gamers prevail; there are riots in the streets, Commander Joker has set himself up as a king and [[Franchise/MassEffect the Harvesters]] have ravaged the Earth. Unlike the above this (probably) is a fake timeline he concocted to convert him.
149* BerserkButton: Do not bring up the time he was sexually assaulted to Yoda. He shoots Series/DrPhil when he makes light of the time he was raped in a KFC bathroom, and Commander Joker unintentionally making him recall the clone Yoda's assault helps lead into a fight between the two of them.
150* BigBad: Initially Supreme Leader Snoke is built up as the main villain, being the ringleader of most of the liberals and the one behind both the revival of Hank Hill as Vader and corruption of Bobby Hill. In "Palpatine's Episode" his role is swiftly usurped by Palpatine, who takes charge as the new leader of the liberals. Part 1 of "Nightmare" reveals he's TheManBehindTheMan to Hillary Clinton, though it also reveals [[AlwaysABiggerFish he has a master]].
151* BigotryException: Despite being racist and bringing up the whole "13% crime statistics" meme Commander Joker is close friends with Music/KanyeWest. The only time he uses the N-word in his vicinity is when he's really mad due to feeling replaced by Arthur Fleck, and as Kanye is killed shortly afterwards he deeply regrets it.
152* BlackAndGrayMorality: On the one hand you have the Society Squad, who are mostly comprised of racist gamers and some even have criminal offenses, but they also believe in free speech and camaraderie. On the other you have the liberals, who want to take over the world and [[DystopianEdict arrest people who play video games]].
153* CompositeCharacter: Hank and Bobby Hill end up taking the roles of Darth Vader and Kylo Ren, with a bit of Han Solo for Hank as he is mortally wounded by Bobby when trying to reach out to him.
154* CreateYourOwnVillain: Part 2 of "The Nightmare" reveals Yoda's DarkSecret, that being he's behind Bobby's fall to the liberals due to trying to kill him in order to prevent him from becoming a furry. Understandably Hank Hill is furious and kicks his ass.
155* CrossoverComboVillain: In order to increase his powers, Palpatine schemes with Dio Brando so he can be given a Stand of his own to use; On the Dark Side.
156* DecompositeCharacter: [[Film/Joker2019 Arthur Fleck]] is treated as a different, newer Joker who tries to apply for the position after [[Film/TheDarkKnight Commander Joker]] is presumed dead. [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 The Jared Leto Joker]] is also a different person, more specifically a clone of Commander Joker.
157* EvilKnockoff: Palpatine creates a clone of Yoda and later the Joker aligned to his interests. They're distinguished from the original by Clone Yoda being the CGI Yoda while the OG Yoda had surgery to become a LEGO minifig, while Clone Joker [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 is the Jared Leto version]].
158* FreudianExcuse: Yoda hates minorities because he was raped by a black man in a KFC bathroom.
159* GreaterScopeVillain: We're initially led to believe that Palpatine is the biggest threat to gamers and the Society Squad. As such it's a shock that Part 1 of "The Nightmare", he reveals that he has a (yet unseen) master.
160* HeelFaceTurn: Boba Fett is initially a bounty hunter who works for the liberals and kills Kanye West as a loose end. Eventually the liberals prove too much for him to stomach so he helps breaks out Austin Powers and aid the Society Squad.
161* IFightForTheStrongestSide: The Illusive Man is initially a MysteriousBacker for the Society Squad, but after mistakes on the Joker's part he decides to side with the liberals instead as he's come to see gamers as on the losing side.
162* LukeIAmYourFather: "Remember" has Palpatine reveal to Arthur Fleck that he's his father, with the same wording Vader did in canon. He uses this knowledge, alongside playing on his resentment to try and convert him to his side.
163* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: After being mistreated by Commander Joker and called a joke, Arthur Fleck defects from the Society Squad. He's captured shortly afterwards and his resentment plays a part in his siding with Palpatine.
164* MoneyFetish: [[GreedyJew Mort Goldman]] is a very literal example, as he's seen masturbating to cash. Unfortunately for him Arthur Fleck [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown caught him with his pants down]].
165* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Jotaro helps break Austin Powers out of jail and aid gamers, but not because he believes in the cause. Rather he's after Dio who happens to be working with the liberals.
166* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: The Society Squad plays on the meme that gamers are racist and hate minorities and women, and the Joker even uses the N-word on Kanye in anger. However they're trying to save the day from liberals trying to take over the world and oppress gamers.
167* ReforgedIntoAMinion: After being mortally wounded by his son Hank Hill is reconstructed by the liberals as Darth Vader. After being broken out of it, Palpatine inflicts a similar fate to the mortally wounded Kanye West, turning him into Electro to psychologically torture the Society Squad.
168* SerialRapist: The Liberal clone of Yoda is a psychopath who sexually assaults different characters, including Yoda himself. It's revealed that the Yoda in "Yoda Sexually Assaults Peter Griffin" video was actually the clone Yoda and Hillary Clinton tries to frame the real Yoda for his crimes in order to impeach him.
169* WeCanRebuildHim: Grievous (already a cyborg) ends up being overwhelmed from the Joker's epic gaming skills and bursts into flames. They're able to save his consciousness and have his body rebuilt thanks to Ultron.

181!!This work provides examples of
182
183* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: "How Drinking Almost ENDED Me" has TBA have sex with a girl without a condom due to his judgement being impaired by drinking. He only avoids a OneNightStandPregnancy [[ConvenientMiscarriage because of a miscarriage]].
184* ApprovalOfGod: In-universe, TBA says he appreciates reaction videos of his content in "How To Print Money On Youtube", saying while it can definitely be seen as lazy content [[MoneyDearBoy it's a valid means of making easy money]].
185* AssShove: "17 Strangest Things Found In Peoples Butts" is, well, all about this trope. Highlights of bizarre things found up there include a hamster and a gun.
186* BadSanta: "Telling Santa My Intrusive Thoughts" initially doesn't seem like an example since Santa is disturbed by the intrusive thoughts TBA has...at least until the end when a kid asks for [[CreepyUncle his uncle to stop touching him]]. The fact he knows his name heavily imply Santa is said uncle.
187* BlackComedy: A staple of the channel is jokes that make light of serious subjects, living up to the "offending everybody" part of the channel name. Some highlights include "[[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood How to Be a Terrible Father]]" or "[[BlackComedyRape Which Celebrities Are Freaks]]"
188* BlackComedyRape
189** A number of videos have jokes about an [[CreepyUncle uncle]] or [[PedophilePriest preacher]] who touches kids inappropriately.
190** "Which Celebrities Are Freaks" is all about making jokes about what degenerate things the celebrities and politicians who were on [[HumanTraffickers Jeffrey Epstein's]] flight list got to on his island, though with a disclaimer at the beginning that just because someone's name was on the flight list doesn't mean they were involved in criminal activities.
191* ConvenientMiscarriage: Well, for TBA at least. In "How Drinking Almost ENDED Me" he makes the mistake of having sex with a one night stand without a condom and panics, until learning she had a miscarriage. While it definitely isn't convenient for her, TBA can barely contain his relief he's not going to be a father.
192* DoubleStandard: [[PlayedForLaughs Done tongue in cheek]] in "How To Bang Your High-School Teacher" where he says male pedophiles should be hanged but female pedophiles should be celebrated ([[EveryoneHasStandards so long as the student is above 16 and the teacher is hot]]), though [[SubvertedTrope he says that you shouldn't feel guilty if she gets arrested since she was a pedo]]. [[DoubleSubverted Only to contradict it for laugh]]
193-->'''TBA''': ''"Remember, it's not trauma if you get blown in a sauna."''
194* AGoodWayToDie: "20 Worst Ways to Die" actually argues a number of deaths would arguably be a good way for your life to end, such as cancer (because you could skip free lines and get a bunch of benefits due to how bad people would feel for you) or botched skydiving (less so with someone else because of the guilt you'd feel[[note]][[PayEvilUntoEvil unless you knew they were a pedophile]][[/note]] but more solo skydiving because your death would be instantaneous and preceded with a huge adrenaline rush).
195* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: "How To Be A Terrible Father" explores how to raise a baby Franchise/{{Superman}}, doing things that would normally harm them as a trick to show off their powers or having them bait a pedophile just close enough that when the kid grows up he has reason to PayEvilUntoEvil the attempted predator.
196* ILoveTheDead: "20 Worst Ways to Die" as a segment imaging how traumatic [[DeathBySex dying during sex]] would be for your partner, only for the woman to try to get rigor mortis to do its duty and finish their session.
197* IronicFear: Played for a joke in "20 Worst Ways to Die" when TBA states his biggest fear is drowning, but his biggest fetish is "being suffocated under a girl's [[UnusualEuphemism Tonka Truck]]".
198* NonIndicativeName: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] with "20 Worst Ways to Die". While some are legitimately sucky ways to go out like burning alive, most of the deaths are framed as AGoodWayToDie.
199* PedophilePriest: A regular punchline of pedophile jokes involves Catholic priests and alter boy, with said priest being represented by "Father Cunningham"
200* TakeThat: The entirety of "Why Andrew Tate is WORSE than Cancer" is a call-out on how Andrew Tate is a misogynistic douchebag and most likely sex trafficker who exploits impressionable men.
201* TeacherStudentRomance: "How To Bang Your Teacher Your High School Teacher" is dedicated to (joking, obviously) tips on how to seduce your HotTeacher, partly out of lust but also for the bragging rights.

214
215* AnAesop: Concludes his review of ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' comic with one; that sometimes making fun of something can be just as annoying as the thing you're making fun of.
216* FanDislikedExplanation: In-universe, Cody is not a fan of [[spoiler:Black Noir having gaslit Homelander]] since it removes anything that made the latter remotely worse than the other supes, and robs him of the agency that made [[Series/TheBoys2019 his TV incarnation]] compelling.
217* NotSoDifferentRemark: The thesis for ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' comic book is that for all of its' hatred for the superhero genre, it's no less of a power fantasy. It's just that the superhero equivalents are guys in trench-cloaks beating up idiots in regular superhero costumes.
218* RealismInducedHorror: In Cody's opinion, this is what makes the supes better antagonists in ''[[Series/TheBoys2019 the TV show]]'' compared to [[ComicBook/TheBoys the source material]]; by acting like realistically awful people and egotistical celebrities it makes them more effective of an antagonist. By contrast, [[ComicBook/TheBoys in the comic]] they're act so absurdly evil [[CartoonishSupervillainy they come off as "crazy cartoon people"]].
219* SeriesEscalation: Discussed in his review of Roland Emmerich disaster movies; he notes that said disasters have become bigger over time, going from [[Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow a glacial cataclysm]] to [[Film/TwoThousandAndTwelve a global flood]] all the way up to [[Film/{{Moonfall}} the moon itself almost colliding with the planet]]. After reviewing ''Moonfall'' he pitches a movie idea that'd escalate things even further; have Andromeda and the Milky Way collide a few billion years early.
220* SoBadItWasBetter: This is Cody's opinion of the post-Michael Bay live-action Transformers. While very flawed movies "Bayformers" had enough quirks and flaws that it gave the movies a unique flair. By contrast, Bumblebee and Transformers Rise Of The Beast come off as either "good" or simply SoOkayItsAverage for him.
221* TakeThat: In his review of "The Boys Comic Was Kinda Terrible"
222** When he mentions what makes the supes work as an antagonist is that they are based off "shitty, real-life people", he cuts to a black and white picture of Harvey Weinstein to make a point.
223** While not as harsh of a take that, he compares Creator/GarthEnnis to an edgy teenager in the way he writes stuff like ''ComicBook/TheBoys''.
224* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Something that Cody brings up in reviews of adaptations
225** He expresses this opinion about ''Film/WorldWarZ'', believing that the plot of the books was a lot more interesting and inventive than the movie, which leaned into a more generic ZombieApocalypse than anything.
226** "'The Boys' Comic Was Kinda Terrible" acknowledges that a lot of people believe this and say "the book was better", in order to preface how ''The Boys'' is one of the few cases where it inverts this trope by [[Series/TheBoys2019 the adaptation]] is considered by most to be better [[ComicBook/TheBoys than the original]].

307TheGrimReaper or GodOfTheDead hates those who cheat death.
308----
309
310The [[GodOfTheDead death god]] or [[TheGrimReaper reaper]] of the setting can vary wildly in characterization. [[DontFearTheReaper Sometimes they're reasonable]], [[EverybodyHatesHades sometimes they're malicious]]. And occasionally [[DeathIsALoser they're the butt of jokes]]. However if there's something more likely to get their goat, it's whenever someone cheats them. Be it coming BackFromTheDead, looking for or even obtaining a form of immortality, or just escaping what should've by all rights killed them defying Death is a good way [[EnemiesWithDeath to make them your enemy]]. Or at the very least they won't like you.
311
312Given their role, the Death entity may perceive cheating death as an insult to their power and their domain. Sometimes it's less out of a personal vendetta and more that it goes against the natural order, and as a being intrinsically tied to said natural order they cannot abide by it. Or maybe it's a bit more selfish and they are worried their station is threatened. That said, just because they don't like you cheating them doesn't mean they'll go after you personally, and the whole cheating death thing is more of a pet peeve. Sometimes they'll even give the person defying them a "fighting chance", possibly via ChessWithDeath.
313
314Sub-trope of EnemiesWithDeath, which details Death being antagonistic in general instead of having a specific motive to be peeved.

327* Creator/DCComics
328** ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'': While Nekron, Lord of the Unliving, [[EnemyToAllLivingThings sees all life as a transgressor]] [[OmnicidalManiac to be wiped out]], he and his herald Black Hand hold particularly umbridge to those who have cheated death, which in the DC universe [[DeathIsCheap applies to a lot of people]]. The latter even thinks that [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Donna Troy's child]] should never have existed because he was born after she'd come BackFromTheDead, and that's why he died young. This viewpoint turns out to be hypocritical on Nekron's end because he himself allowed death's cheapness so the now living superheroes could be used as "sleeper agents" by turning them into Black Lanterns while still alive.
329** [[DefiedTrope Defied]] with [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death of the Endless]]. [[ComicBook/TheBlackRing When Lex Luthor has a near-death experience]] he confronts her with the recent ZombieApocalypse, and is flippant to how she was not only uninvolved but why she's never done anything about the countless examples of cheating death. As it turns out she really doesn't care, arguing that it doesn't matter since ''eventually'' even seemingly immortal characters will die and enter her domain, so they aren't really cheating her when resurrecting in the short term.
330[[/folder]]
331
332[[folder:Films]]
333* ''Franchise/FinalDestination'': Cheating death by surviving when they weren't supposed to is the primary motive behind Death causing [[RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts the elaborate and gory deaths]] of its victims; people cheating death thanks to the visions of their untimely death really ticks it off, [[DisproportionateRetribution so it makes them die often brutally because of it]]. [[spoiler:Like [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Nekron]] Death in ''Final Destination'' proves to be a massive {{Hypocrite}} since it gives those visions in the first place...that or it's a massive {{Troll}}.]]
334* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Death; he admits that he's not a cat person because he resents the fact that cats have nine lives, as he finds it "absurd" that they get to have extra lives when everyone else only has one life. [[spoiler:Ultimately his reason for going after Puss is down to him ''wasting'' those lives rather than having extra lives in the first place, however it's also clear he doesn't want him to use the Wishing Star to get his nine lives back.]]

342* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': [[spoiler:After the original Death [[TheDeathOfDeath is killed off]] his successor Billie has grown tired of all the times the Winchester brothers have cheated death and intends to reap them and keep them dead. Her ultimate goal is to make AllDeathsFinal in order to re-impose the natural order, which would result in the death of everyone that was ever resurrected. [[OrderIsNotGood Unfortunately a lot of innocent people fit under that description]], [[GodhoodSeeker and her desire to become the new God to finalize it]] [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist makes one wonder how necessary or well-intentioned this is]].]]
343[[/folder]]
344
345[[folder:Mythology And Religion]]
346* ''Myth/ClassicalMythology'': Compared to his brothers [[EverybodyHatesHades and some portrayals]] Hades is one of the more reasonable and [[TheStoic stoic]] gods, however [[BerserkButton one of the few things to get him angry]] is whenever someone tries to break the laws of death. Despite Zeus' own grandson he demanded he strike down Asclepius on the spot when he started using his medical knowledge to revive the death, and one of the main reasons behind giving Sisyphus an IronicHell was punishing him for the time he tricked [[TheGrimReaper Thanatos]] into being sealed away, [[DeathTakesAHoliday which preventing anyone from dying until Ares rescued him]]. That said on very rare occasions he is willing to bend his rules, such as allowing Orpheus to rescue his love from the Underworld [[TearsOfJoy after being brought to tears by his music]] (albeit on the stipulation he can't look back to check until Eurydice, which he did anyways [[AllForNothing and rendered bringing her back pointless]]).

354* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'': One of the fallen gods is Dhuum, a cruel and unjust god of death who once ruled the underworld. During his reign he tolerated neither resurrections nor the existence of the undead, and he hunted down all those who cheated death, having promised "death undeniable." He was eventually overthrown by Grenth who doesn't share this viewpoint and is fine with [[DeathIsCheap death being cheap]], which pisses Dhuum off.

369** Wicked Black In A Sea Of Blue/Orange-in a race or group of beings with clear [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien]] [[AboveGoodAndEvil morality]], one EldritchAbomination is clearly shown with a human morality/being good or evil by human understanding. Examples include [[Franchise/TheElderScrolls Molag Bal]] (while even "evil" Daedric Princes like Mehrunes Dagon operate [[AboveGoodAndEvil above normal morality]] and has positive traits, he's the one member to be completely and unironically evil), [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]] (the Outer Gods are described as being beyond good and evil, but he is the one exception by being a malicious SatanicArchetype)
370** Specially Built Earth: When Earth's formation has some special or otherworldly reason for its existence unlike most planets, or even if it was an artificial creation ala That's No Moon to our homeworld. Sub-Trope of RealEventFictionalCause. Ie: [[Series/DoctorWho Earth formed over the Racnoss ship]], [[ComicBook/BlackestNight the entity formed Earth around it as its home]], Earth being a giant computer in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
371** Multiversal Singularity: In TheMultiverse, a character is unique/doesn't have alternate versions. Examples have propped up in DC, Marvel and Transformers
372** Dawn Of Life: Exploring the events of life beginning on Earth, maybe even what caused it. Examples include Series/DoctorWho (Scaroth kick-started life by his ship exploding), VideoGame/{{Spore}} (the game starts with a comet crashing and bringing the cell into the world)
373** Cool Liquid Metal: When liquid metal shows up, usually because of the RuleOfCool and doesn't always behave as it physically should(like taking a semi-solid form or being a metal that melts at much hotter conditions in room temperature). Includes [[VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee the Meltan line]], the Film/{{T|erminator2JudgmentDay}}-1000
374** Our Matter Is Unorthodox: Unorthodox forms and states of matter and particles, like strange matter, muon particles, neutronium and such(or made up alien matter), which can have a lot of weird and interesting results in fiction. SuperTrope of {{Antimatter}} and OurDarkMatterIsMysterious. Examples include neutronium in ''Franchise/MassEffect'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' ([[EldritchAbomination Yivo]] is made out of electromatter, which can't be harmed by regular matter)
375** Our Celestials Are Different: Cosmic beings of vast power, and entities from a higher plane of existence are typically referred to as celestials. Examples include [[Creator/MarvelComics The Celestials]] ({{Precursors}} who are giant god-like aliens in many ways AboveTheGods)
376** Neutral Hater: A character who has a dislike of those who are neutral, don't want to pick a side or don't have a strong opinion. One of the possible reasons for a NeutralityBacklash (when a neutral is the target, instead of people targeting the neutral). Eg: WesternAnimation/SouthPark (Stan is ostracized for not choosing between two terrible mascots), [[WebVideo/{{Jreg}} Jreg the Anti-Centrist]] (despises the political center), [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zapp Brannigan]] (regards the Neutral Planet as no different from AlwaysChaoticEvil)
377** Temporal Do-Over Fight: Time travel is used to win a fight by attacking the opponent at a more vulnerable point. Examples include WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack, Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019, [[Franchise/{{Dragonball}} the ending of the Android Saga]] ([[AlternateTimeline in a way]])
378** Layered, Visceral Reconstruction: A character is shown resurrecting/reconstructed with their body growing back from a face, typically starting with a skeleton/nervous tissue. For example [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr Manhattan's gradual reconstruction of his body]], [[Film/{{Hellraiser}} Frank Cotton]], [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 Ego]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime the Lich becoming Sweet P]], it's also featured in the title card of WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy
