Lanfeust: Character (Glin)
- The Power of Glass: He has the power to mentally break glass. He can only uses it when he's angry.
Adiboo: Magical Playland
- Animate Inanimate Object: There is several sentient objects, including a radio, a swing and a ball.
- No Fourth Wall: The characters always talk to the player.
- Perfectly Cromulent Word: If the player clicks on the swing, it will grow a face and say "Akalibada".
- Pointy Ears: Adiboo has pointy ears.
- Primary-Color Champion: Adiboo has yellow-ish skin, blond hair and wears red and blue clothes.
- Protagonist Title: Adiboo is the hero and his name is in the title.
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Adiboo is an alien who looks like a normal human aside from the Pointy Ears and yellow-ish skin.
- Shout-Out: There's at least two Tintin references:
- In the original French game, one name Adiboo suggests for Buzzy Galump is "Bachi Boulouk", which is taken from one of Captain Haddock's insult: bachi bouzouk. Adiboo then says that this name isn't really good and that it reminds him of something.
- One element the player can place in the drawing minigame is a rocketship with a red and white squares color pattern, just like Professor Calculus's rocketship.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: The female bird has eyelashes.
Gaston Lagaffe

@ Melinda (page 900)
- The Goonies: One-Eyed Willy is a legendarily successful, self-made pirate who warranted having a whole armada sent after his ship, the Inferno. This armada chased Willy to uncharted territory and trapped his ship in a grotto, but he and his crew survived and spent years setting traps throughout the surrounding caverns, which killed at least one treasure hunter centuries later. Willy killed most of his crew to keep his treasure secure, (comma) but one man escaped with a map and the story. When 1980s schoolchildren find his map, they enter the caves and barely navigate a series of deadly traps. Willy's respect for anyone capable of making it a certain distance is demonstrated by how his later traps have posted warnings offering people a chance to go back, (comma) but also allowing treasure hunters to continue forward if they display enough intelligence. The final trap is only triggered by taking gold that Willy was weighing for himself before his death, while the rest of the treasure is available to anyone who wants it.
- The Great Greene Heist: Kayla Hall is a technological prodigy and rival of Caper Crew member Megan Feldman, who Kayla resents after Megan gleefully got her banned from their favorite robotics competition for illegal modifications. Kayla is hired to frame Megan, Jackson and their friends for vandalism and cheating and get them expelled. She loyally abides by the terms of her contract with her employer, even as she comes to dislike him. She repeatedly performs complicated hacking and tinkering jobs in a fraction of the time that Megan assumes it will take her. Despite her ruthlessness toward the Greene crew, she is willing to make polite conversation with them and even offer them some of her mom's cookies. She stands out as the most intelligent enemy Jackson and his friends face, as well as the most affable.
In the Presence of Mine Enemies
- Fanfic Fuel: Readers well-versed in real-life stories about people who survived the Holocaust in hiding might wonder which (superfluous word - cut) real-life (superfluous word - cut) Jews across Europe managed to remain alive and in hiding in a timeline where the Nazis won, given how the main cast shows that some Jewish groups did so successfully.
- In Carnival of Souls:
- After ruining an outfit, Buffy laments about the unfairness in how the Watchers' Council won't give her a clothing budget.
- Harmony is in charge of coming up with fundraising ideas and demonstrates her usual level of (in)competence at it. Her first idea is a blood drive and she is shocked to learn that blood is donated rather than sold. Then she dismisses Willow's book fair idea and gets a Sarcasm-Blind moment of agreeing with Buffy's joke that no one buys books when they can buy shoes.
- Snyder refuses to punish two bullying football players because they have the potential to give the team a winning season, as long as no more team members die this year.
- After being cursed with gluttony, Xander even eats some of the food intended for Giles' cat (move text).
- When Willow announces that Snyder has disappeared and a local woman has been murdered, Xander says that's great news, then quickly clarifies he meant Snyder vanishing and not the murder.
- When Cordelia comes out of an enchantment that made her rob a clothing store and attack a clerk, she's horrified that she may never get to shop there again.
Sunnydale High
The Hahn Twins
David and Stephanie Hahn
- Pursued Protagonist: Early in the first chapter after the prologue, Buffy (who is on patrol) sees them running through a cemetery, being chased by vampires. They alternate between showing some strategy and behaving in a panicked fashion, (comma) but Buffy does kill their pursuers, only for the three teenagers to blunder into a sinister carnival whose proprietor covertly curses the twins as part of a soul-stealing gambit that they barely survive.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: Played with. Buffy comments on their poor grooming and clothing choice in their first scene, but they look more ridiculous than appealing when they do clean up and wear clothes designed for sex appeal.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Invoked. Being cursed with vanity makes David temporarily act like a Casanova Wannabe and Stephanie like someone who can challenge Cordelia for the position of queen bee, to the bewilderment of everyone around them.
Carl Palmer
- Big Brother Instinct: He spends all of his scenes before he is brainwashed by the carnival distributing missing person flyers for his sister (who, unknown to him, was turned into a vampire and later staked).
- Disappeared Dad: His father left the family to move to Texas.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He is brainwashed into robbing and killing his mother and has enough memories of this that even after being freed, he is last mentioned as being resistant to Giles' efforts to exonerate him.

Arivne got it.
Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Under Adaptational Badass
- The mutated Batman villains pose far more of a threat than in the comic where the threat is due to their sheer numbers. In particular, Mr. Freeze is too strong for the heroes to defeat and is only beaten by a mutated Batman.
- While their fight is intense, Shredder actually defeats Batman, unlike in the comic.
- Adaptational Comic Relief:
- Damian's Comically Serious and immature traits are given far more focus than in the comic, where he was mostly played seriously.
- Surprisingly done with the Joker, since his brief appearance in the comic presents him as a serious character. The movie gives him more screen time, putting his Laughably Evil traits on full display.
- Adaptational Curves: Raphael is given some extra muscle compared to his appearance in the comic, making him noticeably bigger than his brothers.
- Adaptational Wimp:
- Poison Ivy actually proves less of a threat than in the comic because she's turned into a plant who is rooted to the floor, allowing the heroes to avoid fighting her.
- Ra's al Ghul goes from taking all four of the turtles to defeat him to getting defeated by Leonardo, albeit because he got careless and Leonardo fought dirty.
- The version of Baxter Stockman created for the movie exists to act as a comical minion for the Shredder, as opposed to being a threat to the Turtles in his own right like he normally is.
- Ascended Extra: As opposed to just being another criminal broken out of jail, the Joker is instead the ringleader of the Batman villains released from Arkham.
- Decomposite Character: Penguin is Demoted to Extra compared to the comic, with the role of Shredder's unwilling lackey being given to Stockman.
- Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Shredder is a brutal murderer who will see Gotham in flames to get what he wants. For minions, he has Baxter Stockman, a small flyman who notes he's more a hostage to Shredder than he is an underling.
Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game: D under Dark Magician
- The Juggernaut: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon has 3000 points and can't be destroyed or targeted by card effects. If a player does find a way around these immunities, it still can negate the activation of a card or effect per turn, which destroys the card in question and gives it an extra 1000 attack points.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Blood Bowl 2, Bob and Jim are fully aware that they are characters in a video game.
Under Card-Carrying Villain
The Dark Elf Hubris Rakarath is Ax-Crazy even by the standards of Blood Bowl players and also mocks other elves as lesser. That doesn't stop him from working for them, saying that a player can't let "integrity and hypocrisy" get in the way of getting paid.
- The Dreaded: Hubris Rakarath is a player so feared that the reporters avoid talking about him, as it may incur his wrath.
- For the Evulz: The Skavenblight Scramblers in the second game come up with an Evil Plan to summon a Verminlord in the final game of Blood Bowl II to murder the opposing team and the spectators. Why? Because they felt like it.
- Graceful Loser: In the campaign of Blood Bowl II, Bob makes an agreement with the Reikland Reavers' coach to commit three fouls in the playoff match with Gouged Eye in exchange for a favor on Bob's part if he loses. While not the nicest guy in the world, he does take losing surprisingly well, since he enjoyed seeing the violence and the coach has started to grow on him, so Bob doesn't mind owing him a favor.
Under Guest-Star Party Member:
- In the second video game, Bob Bifford joins the Reikland Reavers during the match against Gouged Eye.
- I Resemble That Remark!: In the story mode of Blood Bowl II, after Jim says Bob needs to overcome his problem with the elves, Bob says that he's not racist. He simply hates elves and wishes they would all die.
- Logical Weakness: Despite the setting operating heavily on Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny, weapons have the drawbacks you expect them to.
- Players using chainsaws risk injuring them with them.
- A player constantly spinning a massive ball and chain risks injuring their own team.
- Dwarf deathrollers are hard to knock over, as they are machines. But they are machines, and their sheer bulk means anything that hits them hard enough to knock them over will wreck them.
Warlock:
- The Juggernaut: The Warlock has extremely high stats, is immune to spells, and has Divine Armor, so most attacks only do one point of damage to him. As such, he is very hard to kill.
- Lord British Postulate: This unit is designed to be too strong for players to defeat. It hasn't stopped players from doing so by building a big enough army or exploiting his Artificial Stupidity. note
- One-Man Army: Because he's so resilient, this hero can take on entire armies and win even without his spells.
God of War Series – Norse Gods
Under Heimdall
- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- Atreus's first meeting with Heimdall results in a short, one-sided battle where Atreus can't land a single blow on him. Atreus only survives because Odin calls Heimdall off.
- When Thrud has enough of Heimdall's insults, she tries to shut him up. Like Atreus, she can’t land any blows on him either.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: When Atreus faces Heimdall, the fight is unwinnable because Heimdall will dodge or parry any attacks against him.
- Just Toying with Them: Since Heimdall is so confident no enemy could ever strike him, he allows them to attack him while weaving around their attacks. He more frequently uses his sword to block attacks than actually striking his enemies. Once Kratos finally does hit him, Heimdall gets more serious but still has an attack where he mockingly strikes Kratos with his sword still sheathed. After losing his arm, he stops messing around.
If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: The Forces of Chaos
Be'lakor The Dark Master
An ancient daemon prince leading the Black Legion in an assault on Baal with the intent of permanently ending Sanguinala.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He takes being called a "bastard of the highest order" as a compliment.
- Dark Is Evil: He is a pitch-dark daemon who calls himself the Dark Master.
- Evil Is Petty: He assembles an army to invade the recruiting world of the Blood Angels Space Marines, not to eliminate the Blood Angels like most Chaos Champions would, but to end the Imperium’s equivalent of Christmas.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Speaker D provides an extremely deep voice befitting the oldest daemon prince.
- The Grinch: Parodied. Sanguinala is depicted as the equivalent of Christmas in the series and Bel'lakor is out to ruin it For the Evulz. He even references the Trope Namer by boasting he will be remembered as the one who "STOLE SANGUINALA!"
- Laughably Evil: He is a daemon of Chaos who is invading a planet with the intent of ruining a holiday. This is inevitable.
- Major Injury Under Reaction: He mildly complains about his head being cut off. In his defense, this just banishes him to the Warp instead of killing him.
- Tempting Fate: Right after Celestine flies past him, he assumes her attack was harmless and boasts "NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO BE'LAKOR!!" After that, his head falls off and he's banished to the Warp.

- One Thing or Your Mother is one of the darker books in the franchise, but does have a couple of the franchise's trademark funny moments.
- Spike watches an episode of the Soap Opera Sunset Beach and vents about how the plot drives him crazy and he hopes a Love Triangle will be resolved with an ax murder.
- The demon that used to be Snyder's abusive mother (who Mayor Wilkins banished to a Hell dimension to gain influence over Snyder in the first place) rants about how the worst thing about the place that she was sent was the lack of detergent and bed-making.
@ Vampires Buffy
Callie McKay
A preteen girl who Drusilla turns into a vampire on a whim of wanting a child/pet in One Thing or Your Mother. She doesn't get along with Angelus or Drusilla, but develops a bond with Spike.- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: She repeatedly begs Spike for help after Angelus decides to kill her, calling him "Daddy", but his reluctance to alienate Drusilla and doubts about being able to defeat Angelus and Drusilla keep him from intervening on her behalf.
- Bullying a Dragon: She carves a drawing of a stake with Angelus's name on it onto his bedpost, and he wastes no time in tying her up outside to be burned by the rising sun.
- Corrupt the Cutie: She initially refuses to kill people for blood due to retaining enough child-like values to argue about right and wrong, comparing it to cheating on a test or lying. Sadly, Spike convinces her that it will be fun to kill other kids who teased her and she quickly becomes a Fully-Embraced Fiend.
- Undead Child: She is a little girl who is turned into a vampire and is willing to commit murder, while also fruturating Drusilla and Angelus with ocassional tantrums.
@ Magnificent Bastard/Batman Characters being voted on but who seem to be doing well and who I won't have as much time to do write ups for when the voting period is closer to ending. Hopefully getting them approved early isn't Tempting Fate.
- Jenna Duffy, AKA the Carpenter, is an affable and resourceful career thief and hustler who is also a talented builder with carpentry-themed weapons like hammers and buzzsaws. She goes from an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain who meekly surrenders to Batman to someone who bravely fights the Bat-Family and successfully manipulates Batman. After several failed bank robberies, she becomes a contractor specializing in supervillain lairs and Death Traps. She remodels buildings for the Gotham City Sirens and helps rescue a kidnapped Harley Quinn. When a client wants her to build a trap to kill Batman, she doubts that he will succeed but still gives him quality service while planning to leave before Batman can arrive. After realizing that her employer plans to Shoot the Builder, she manages to play dumb while covertly summoning Batman. Together, they defeat her clients, after which Jenna convinces Batman she was coerced into building the trap. She leaves with part of her fee having been paid in advance and takes up another job even after Batman tries to run her out of town.
- Batgirl (2000) # 37: David Sullivan is a professional burglar who kidnaps his young daughter Jill from her exploitative and unloving mother, after previously having done so before, been arrested, and escaped from prison. Complicated security systems are no match for him, but he only cares about reuniting with Jill (who is delighted to go with him) and making her happy, ignoring the valuable glass sculptures she crafted except for one that she requests they take. When Batgirl tracks them down, David nearly spirits Jill away by hang-gliding out the window, and is only caught because he goes slower than possible out of concern for Jill's safety. When a distraught Jill threatens to commit suicide if Batgirl takes her away from David and returns her to her mother, David convinces her not to do this by promising that he will someday escape again to return to her.
- Crossed: The * +100 era stories are set in an era where people are accustomed
- The Book of Eli: The teenaged Solara asks Eli about the luxuries that people once casually discarded but now will commit murder over and has never seen a Bible before. Even some Mooks for the Wasteland Warlord who are several years older than Solara have never seen or heard of a TV before.
- Mad Max Beyond Thunderome: Max meets a Cargo Cult tribe of feral kids at an oasis, many of whom were born after the plane crash that brought them there at the tail end of the apocalyptic wars. In the Novelization, it is implied that all of them were born after the apocalypse and the original child survivors of the crash, their parents, died while searching the desert for a potential savior.
- Solarbabies: It has apparently been decades since most of drinking water was lost and wars ravaged the planet, as some of the main characters have been at the state-ran Orphanage of Fear since infancy.
- The Girl With All the Gifts: Melanie is a variant, being a sentient zombie child (not that she realizes this at first) born after the population of the U.K. was largely wiped out. She is being educated about the past while being kept prisoner for potential experiments by the military.
- Jeremiah: Since all of the (initially known) survivors of The Virus had yet to hit puberty during the disaster, all of the second generation survivors (including guest character children of two main characters) were born after society collapsedand are more self-sufficient and wary as a result. They aren't the focus of the show, but the ones in “Red Kiss” view Jeremiah and Kurdy as angels and the Villain of the Week as a vampire largely due to an arcade game in their community. The finale reveals that many, if not all, of the children born after the big death are displaying higher IQs than normal, which is suggested to be either evolutionary or a divine boon to compensate for the losses humanity has suffered.
@ Jeremiah
- The pregnant girl from "To Sail Beyond the Stars" never even gets a name, but her powerful interactions with Kurdy are compelling and memorable to many people.

I Here's an edit I woukd like to add under My Hero Academia:
- Does Class 1-A still have to finish their education at UA after the final war arc? This war, along with the collapse of hero society, not only gives Class 1-A a new perspective on the flaws of modern heroism, but it provides them with plenty of experience. The third act alone teaches the students how to be heroes, so is it wrong to think they will no longer need hero school after the final war?
- When Walt Disney was making sure the Carousel of Progress was ready for its premiere at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Alice Davis (Marc Davis' wife) was doing the costume work while simultaneously running the rotating theater. However, while putting the pants on for the animatronic for "John/Father". Alice was on her hands and knees near the animatronic's lap trying to reach behind to snap the pant's clothes behind him. However, she was unaware that the curtain opened up during the exact moment. This results with Alice hearing Walt roaring in the audience since it looked like she was performing a very adult act while John/Father exclaimed "Very hot for July!". Completely embarrassed, Alice runs off stage, before Walt later reassures her by telling to Alice "That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while!". Alice Davis would occasionally tell this amusing story to a handful of people at the folks at Disney in the later years of her life.
- What the Romans Have Done for Us: Part 4-5: World War 2 onwards, China's economy is much stronger than it was before it was a military dictatorship, almost defeating and even pushing back the Reich and almost defeating the Angeloi! That's something that was never done in World War 1, as in World War 1 they were pushed around by the Reich! China ended up losing in World War 2, unlike World War 1 where it was a mere stalemate. Also, on the other side of the equation, China's oppression of the native population caused a lack of innovation, leading to China losing the space race.

- Bayonetta 3 involves the titular character recruiting alternate versions of herself to fight against the Homunculi, who are trying to destroy the universe so The Singularity can happen. The Big Bad is indeed the Singularity and Bayonetta Prime calls upon her various versions during the fight against him, though he kills all of them but Bayonetta Prime. It's near the end that she gets a Big Damn Heroes moment from her first game version, but also her second game version. After the three merge together into Bayonetta Prime, she gets one last push needed to kill Singularity.
- Second American Civil War: Part 3. The First Eimerican Civil War started when the Lenape Republic, a tribe controlling a city in the Fox Empire's Deep South, seceded from the Fox to have the right to own slaves. The fight lasted for 1 month, until the Fox crushed the secession and killed the ringleader of the civil war. The Second Eimerican Civil War started after the end of World War 1 and was much more disastrous to the Fox than the First Civil War. The Confederation of Southern Alpatets (the CSA) fully broke off, unlike in the first Eimerican Civil War, as well as Lenape. The Cherokee, Pueblo, and so many other tribes seceded from the Fox Empire and it ended with Fox Empire turning to equalism (communism) and getting divided up into multiple different states.

Sensual Phrase
Sakuya
- It's All My Fault: Sakuya takes Aine's physical and emotional well-being very seriously. Just the thought of Aine being hurt and not being able to help her brings him to tears.
- The biggest example comes near the end of the story when Sakuya learns about Aine being brutally raped by Yoshioka, the president of Astarot Productions and, by extension, a bitter enemy of Λucifer and Sakuya. He was so devasted and fed up with rockstar life hurting Aine that he swore off singing, quit the band (for a time), and attempted to kill Yoshioka, before Ralph intervenes to arrest Kaito for tax evasion and fraud to avenge Aine and Sakuya that Aine needs him to be with her, not in prison. It takes a lot of time, effort, and recovery (with Takayama's death in a car accident) for the young couple to return to the band in time to move to New York City.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Gender Inverted. DO NOT HURT AINE OR ELSE!!! There is nothing Sakuya won't do to make sure she is safe and happy. Seriously, even suggesting trying to lay a hand on her makes him feral and then there will be hell to pay. Justified as he is aware of how his celebrity status and their whirlwind romance have put a big target on her back.

- Celebrity Voice Actor: In-Universe example: The first season of Pokémon the Series has Drew Barrymore as Cassandra, Jennifer Aniston as Suzie, Kelsey Grammer as Santa Claus, George Clooney as Dr. Proctor, Haley Joel Osment as Mikey and Christopher Lloyd as Blaine. Christopher Lloyd would later voice Nekojara in Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey speaking English with Japanese subtitles and a Russian accent very similar to Rasputin's from Don Bluth's Anastasia instead of speaking Japanese.
- Different World, Different Movies: In-Universe example: Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey is bit darker and longer than IOTL with Hachi voiced by Minami Takayama instead of Megumi Hayashibara and Nekojara voiced by Christopher Lloyd instead of Shigeru Izumiya as he turned down the role in favour of Christopher Lloyd as a Casting Gag due to other commitments, Nekojara's personality and motives are very similar to Rasputin from Don Bluth's Anastasia, They both sell their souls to the Devil, then become undead Evil Sorcerer to get revenge and abuse their minions Bartok and Sharmee, who will both later reform. They suffer a gruesome death, with Nekojara using Rasputin's death screaming sound effects. Lloyd also voices a Soviet mad scientist as the true main antagonist in The Iron Giant 2 as he send a Soviet spy voiced by Gwyneth Paltrow to steal the Giant and was responsible for killing Hogarth's father in the Korean War.

For Funny.The Kindaichi Case Files:
- "Rosicrucian Mansion Murder Case": In both anime and manga, there's a Furo Scene where Hajime comes out of the public bath after taking a bath and says it was the worst rose bath ever. The answer
is the scene that occurs before Hajime exits the public bath: there's Yoichi Takato (on the left, a.k.a. The Puppet Master of Hell) and Kyo Sakura, who bathe in the same place as Hajime. What's even funnier is that roses are both Takato's signature flower and a symbol of gay people, implying the Homoerotic Subtext between Hajime, Kyo and Takato.
For Paper-Thin Disguise Anime And Manga:
- The Kindaichi Case Files: The In-Universe characters don't know that someone in a head-only disguise (except his first appearance) is Yoichi Takato a.k.a. The Puppet Master of Hell, until the culprits (or rather, people who are willingly to accept his free perfect crime service offers to kill asshole victims for his victims' revenge) are exposed by Hajime. However, the audience knows that he is obviously Takato before Hajime can figure it out, no matter what kind of disguises he has. One of his disguises, Scarlett Roses, is the best example. There are times when Takato is obviously there at the beginning, Hajime only has to guess who is the perpetrator or his "puppets".
