Lanfeust
- Darker and Edgier: The comics always had violence, gore, dark humor and a few moments of nudity, but the Lanfeust Odyssey series takes it even further by having more violence, a darker story, children killed onscreen and a few sex scenes.
- Didn't Think This Through: When Lanfeust sticks a rapier in Barbulio's neck, C'ian quickly heals Barbulio and realise too late that by doing so, Barbulio is now stuck with a rapier through his neck. Even after the rapier's extremities are cut, he still has a metal stem permanently stuck inside his neck.
- Dragon Variety Pack: Troy has plenty of dragons with numerous different designs. There's at least traditionnal European drgons, wyvern-like dragons, humanoid dragon, bat-like dragons and featered dragons. They also come in various colors, but it's mentionned that white is an unusual color for dragons.
- Informed Attribute: The most common Troll breed is called the "redhead trolls". While most of them do indeed have ginger hairs, some of them have brown, grey or blond hairs, but are still considered "redhead trolls".
- Made of Iron: Lanfeust and Qam come across a creature with a highly resistant body. Lanfeust concludes that this creature is literally mainly composed of metal.
- Plot Hole: It's revealed that the reason why Thanos is sensitive to the Magohamoth just like Lanfeust is because they have the same grandfather, making them cousin. The problem is that the reason why Lanfeust is sensitive to the Magohamoth to begin with is because he was genetically modified while in his mother's womb, meaning that being cousins shouldn't justify the fact that Thanos is has sensitive to the Magohamoth since he was not modified himself. What is particulary jarring is that both contradicting revelations happen in the same scene. The Dolphantes act like they modified Lanfeust and Thanos's grandfather (which would make sense), despite saying a minute earlier that they modified Lanfeust's direct parents' genes while Lanfeust's mother was pregnant.
Grow: YMMV
- Harsher in Hindsight: Grow Comeback was meant to serve as a comeback to On's creations after a period of online inactivity. Sadly, it ended up being a short-lived return, because On was victim of severe health problems shortly after the game came out. Said health problems slowed down On's projects alot.
Tintin: Referenced by
- One boss bloon in Bloons Tower Defense is called "Blastapopoulos", inspired by Rastapopoulos.
@ Melinda
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
- Tim utters a nervous exclamation of surprise when he learns his family lives in the old Myers house due to Beth mentioning that he's fine with that fact in a Rousing Speech while being unaware of Tim's ignorance on the subject.
- Voice with an Internet Connection: Deckard watches the live-streaming video that Sara and her friends are making with multiple cameras, and texts Sara directions on where to run to avoid Michael a few times during the final act.
- Deckard's room-mate Scott brags about how they are the first freshmen to ever be invited to a popular kid's Halloween party. An umimpressed Deckard reminds Scott that they only got invites because Scott blackmailed his sister (an apparent friend of the host) over how she got a tattoo and doesn't want their mom to know.
- Base-Breaking Character: One man Cargo Cult aspiring superhero Captain Iron from "Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass". Some fans view him as a brilliantly complex and tragic character who affectionately homages comic books and provides a believable look into how some kids who went through something like the Big Death would suffer from Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality and are unequipped to act on their fantasies. (remove space before period) Others view him as a ridiculous and underwhelming source of Padding who inadvertently mocks real comic fans with (superfluous word - cut) every line of dialogue he utters.
- Fillmore!: In "Two Wheels, Full Throttle, No Breaks", after the safety patrol fails to stop a ring of scooter thieves, Derrick Minna starts a patrol of skaters and wheelchair hockey players to pursue the thieves. They are decently competent, (comma) but mostly just chase the undercover heroes. It also turns out they are Unwitting Pawns, as Derrick is the mastermind behind the thefts and is using them to catch his accomplices so he doesn’t have to pay them and can look like a hero for his (move text) campaign to be elected class President.

Aine Yukimura
- The Baby of the Bunch: As a result of being a seventeen-year-old High-School girl, she is easily the youngest member of the record label, which causes her more than a fair share of grief.
- Just a Kid: Aine has been constantly mocked and not taken seriously as Sakuya's woman and Λucifer's lyricist by the band's staff and many in the media world as a result of her being an Ordinary High-School Student, requiring Aine to prove herself constantly.
- Another episode, "One Angry Lisa", was also not available in Hong Kong version of Disney+ due to one character mentions forced labor camps in China where children make smartphones. This could have make things easier with the offending line edited out, but still...

Thanks Clare.
- Cool Big Sis: Becky Beechwood is about eight years older than her sister Bunny, but is still willing to drop her off or pick her friends up for sleepovers and lets Shelly and Bunny sleep in her room when she thinks that they're scared of the rumored killer spiders.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Dr. Atherton argues that spiders in general are this, due to the rampantness of arachnophobia and how spiders kill millions of insects per acre that would otherwise inconvenience or endanger humans. Ross concedes this point, but does convince him that they have a particularly dangerous kind of spider on their hands.
- Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: Lloyd delights in using his power as sheriff to belittle or inconvenience the people whom he dislikes (although he does ease off some after Ross's theories are proven to be right), and his former teacher Margaret says he was the same way in her class.

- Terrible Interviewees Montage: In "Absolutely Crushed," a Stock Light-Novel Hero is looking for party members. His first interview is a flat-chested dark elf. Scholar Elf comes along to explain elf physiology. Light elves are known for being lithe, graceful and pure. Dark elves have curvier bodies which they use to torture their slaves. The Hero asks if she's less horny because she's flat.
Dark Elf: Nope. I'm still super horny.

hololive Japan - Original Generation
Folder->Miko Sakura
- While playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Miko wants to get a shiny Fuecoco (Hogechi) and breeds them repeatedly until after 3000+ tries, she gets one. During her celebration, she knocks the capture card out and has to put it back in to restore the picture.
Hey I got a CM write-up that I want to check for any spelling and grammar errors.
- Re Zero: Regulus Corneas is the Archbishop of Greed who murdered his own family because of their poor background. Regulus would then kill everyone in his village and nearby towns, including the family of a childhood friend who he forcibly makes his first wife, where he would abuse and rape constantly; He would enslave 290 more women to this horrific fate when his first wife commits suicide where he would kill 238 of them for petty slights or selfish gain. Recruited into the Witch Cult, Regulus would destroy the city Garkla, killing thousands, and would join Pandora in slaughtering everyone in Emilia’s village, while planning to make Emilia’s aunt, Fortuna his next wife. When Fortuna gets killed, the apathetic Regulus simply sets his sights on claiming Emilia years later, massacring a convoy and brutalizing her allies when they got in his way.
Anythought?
Edited by G-Editor on Feb 7th 2023 at 8:00:53 AM
Arivne, got it, thanks.
Acolyte
Acolytes are human worshipers of Ner'zhul, intent on spreading the will of the Lich King. Utterly fantastical, they do not fear death, viewing it and becoming undead as the ultimate rewards for their service.
- Boisterous Weakling: Unlike the Peon and Peasant, the Acolytes are oddly confident when sent to attack, despite being a weak unit.
- In the Hood: Acolytes all wear hoods, and most of their faces are covered as well.
- Summon Magic: Rather than constructing buildings, Acolytes use magic to summon them.
- Worker Unit: They are the builder of the Undead. Unlike the other Worker Units, the Acolyte only needs to start the construction of a building rather than work to maintain it, freeing up an Acolyte to create more buildings. As a downside, they cannot gather wood.
Ghoul
Once a zombie makes the final transition into undeath, they become Ghouls. They are bloodthirsty creatures who revel in combat and will consume the flesh of those who fall in battle.
Ghouls are the basic warriors of the Scourge. Of the basic warriors, they are the cheapest.
- Extreme Omnivore: Researching Cannibalize allows a Ghoul to eat a corpse to get back health, regardless of whether the corpse was a living or undead unit.
- Fragile Speedster: Of the starting combat units, Ghouls have the lowest HP next to the Archer and the lowest damage. Researching Ghoul Frenzy gives Ghouls a boost to their attack rate and speed, making them as fast as a knight
- Our Ghouls Are Creepier: They are ugly zombies with long claws who can eat almost anything.
- Worker Unit: In addition to fighting, Ghouls are also used to gather lumber. Since Ghouls cost more than a Worker Unit and take up more population space, they carry back twice as much wood as normal, so fewer are needed to do so.
- Zerg Rush: Ghouls are the cheapest of the basic land units and train slightly faster than others, so it is easy to mass them in large groups.
Crypt Fiend
After the Scourge destroyed the spider kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, its inhabitants, the Nerubians, were raised as undead servants called Crypt Fiends. These spider creatures attack by summoning swarms of insects to kill their enemies and can use their webbing to pull flying units to the ground.
- Anti-Air: While they cannot attack air units (unlike other ranged units), Crypt Fiends can force air units to the ground with their Web ability.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Undead Big Creepy-Crawlies, being mummified spiders.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Undead giant spiders with human torsos, giving them a centaur-like appearance.
- Non-Human Undead: In life, Crypt Fiends were giant arachnids in life rather than humans.
Gargoyle
Gargoyles are evil creatures brought from Northrend by the Lich King. Normally they attack from the skies, but can descend to the ground and harden their skin while regenerating their wounds.
- Anti-Air: While they can attack ground and air units, the attack against the former is very weak compared to the latter. Hence, their main use is to kill other air units.
- Glass Cannon: Gargoyles are fast and can inflict a ton of damage when attacking other air units, but have the least health of the air units.
- Healing Factor: Using their Stone Form causes their HP to rapidly regenerate.
- No-Sell: When using their Stone Form, they are immune to spells.
- Our Gargoyles Rock: They are flying undead creatures who can turn themselves to stone to heal their wounds.
- Stone Wall: Using their Stone Form causes their armor to skyrocket while also rapidly healing them.
Shade
An Acolyte can be sacrificed at a Sacrificial Pit to create a Shade. A Shade acts as an invisible scout who can see other invisible units, though he cannot attack.
- Fragile Speedster: Shades are fast to help with spying on the enemy.
- Invisibility: Shades are permanently invisible.
- Non-Action Guy: Shades have even less HP than the Acolytes sacrificed to create them, and they cannot attack. Instead, they are used as scouts since they are permanently invisible and can see invisible units. Voice lines for the Shades attacking exist in the game, implying that originally they were going to be able to attack but the ability was cut for balance purposes.
- True Sight: Shades can see invisible units.
Necromancer
Formerly aspiring mages of Dalaran, the Necromancers were tempted by the promise of power and knowledge by Ner'zhul. In service to the Scourge, they use their magic to create and command various forms of Undead and hinder their enemies.
- Animate Dead: Their Raise Dead spell allows them to create two skeletons from a corpse. The mana cost for it has decreased considerably since the last game and it can be set to autocast, meaning it is finally worth using.
- Evil Sorcerer: They are human mages who chose to fight for the Lich King in exchange for power.
- The Necromancer: It is in their name and creating armies of skeletons is their main purpose.
- Power at a Price: The Necromancer's Unholy Frenzy almost doubles the attack rate of the target, at the cost of draining their HP during its duration.
- Squishy Wizard: Necromancers are poor fighters and need friendly units to keep the enemy away from them.
- Support Party Member: Necromancers are frail, so they are meant to stay behind the more sturdy units while creating an army of Skeletons, using Unholy Frenzy on a powerful friendly unit and using their Cripple spell to weaken a strong enemy.
Skeletons Warriors and Skeleton Mages
- Achilles' Heel: Before Frozen Throne introducing the Skeleton Mage, the masses of Skeletons had no way of dealing with air units. Even with that they still have a weakness to Anti-Magic spells since the low health of the Skeletons means such spells will mow them down faster than the Necromancers can create new ones.
- Anti-Air: Skeleton Mages do less damage than Skeleton Warriors, their use is that they allow masses of Skeletons to attack air units.
- Cannon Fodder: Skeletons are fragile and do not do much damage. Their strength is that it only takes a spell from the Necromancer that can be set to autocast to create them.
- Dem Bones: They are Skeletons animated by Necromancers.
- Shields Are Useless: Skeleton Warriors carry shields, which serve no purpose.
- Zerg Rush: Raise Dead can create two skeletons from any corpse, including a skeleton. This allows the Necromancers to easily amass an army, especially if they have Meat Wagons to supply them.
Banshee
Some Night Elf women murdered by the Burning Legion remained in the world for thousands of years as vengeful spirits. When the Lich King became aware of these spirits, he convinced them to serve him in exchange for the chance to exact their vengeance on the living. They are granted terrible voices that they can use as weapons, striking enemies with sonic force and wielding magic to weaken them. If need be, they can drive out the spirit of a living being and take the body for their own.
- Anti-Magic: Their Anti-Magic Shell stops a set amount of magic damage.
- Enemy Exchange Program: Using Possession allows the player who is controlling the Banshee to take control of an enemy unit at the cost of losing the Banshee. This doesn't work on flying units, hero units, or Creeps above level 5.
- Grand Theft Me: The Banshee's Possession spell drives out the soul of the target unit, letting her take control of it and by extension, the Banshee's controller.
- Make Me Wanna Shout: They attack using screams.
- Our Banshees Are Louder: They are ghosts of elves with lethal screams and the ability to wield magic.
Meat Wagon
Unusual contraptions resembling catapults, the Meat Wagons are used to collect and store corpses from the battlefield so they can later be raised as undead warriors. In combat, the Meat Wagons fling diseased corpses at enemies.
- Abnormal Ammo: They are catapults that fling corpses at the enemy.
- Glass Cannon: Meat Wagons have the highest damage of the siege units next to the Demolisher, but have low health and die easily if they come under fire.
- Long-Range Fighter: Like the other long-range siege units, the Meat Wagon cannot attack targets that are too close.
- Siege Engines: An odd building destroyer that flings dead bodies at the enemy, that can be upgraded to release a cloud of germs wherever its projectiles land.
Abomination
By sewing together the various body parts from different corpses, the Scourge creates massive warriors called Abominations. These brutes delight in hacking apart enemies with their huge meat cleavers and giant hooks. Being made of several bodies sewn together, the Abominations are dull-witted creatures who think about little besides murder.
- Body Horror: It is a huge zombie made from multiple corpses sown together very crudely as it has a patch of flesh with no skin covering it.
- Dumb Muscle: Abominations are so dim they can barely use words.
- Elite Zombie: Of the brute variety, acting as the strongest of the Undead's land units.
- Extreme Omnivore: Like Ghouls, Abominations benefit from Cannibalize, allowing them to regain HP from eating corpses.
- Informed Flaw: Abominations are described as slow in the manual, but in-game they are not any slower than the average unit.
- Mighty Glacier: Like the Taurens, Abominations aren't any slower than the average unit, but their bulk means they have path-finding issues. In exchange for the lack of mobility, they hit hard and have high HP.
- Royal "We": In their quotes, the Abominations always refer to themselves as "we" or "us", likely stemming from them being made from multiple bodies sewn together.
Frost Wyrm
In the past, Dragons in their twilight years would fly to Northrend to die, leaving massive graveyards full of the bones and skulls of long-dead Dragons. When Ner'zhul took full control of Northrend he raised the skeletons as undead servants called Frost Wyrms who only think of serving the Lich King. Infused with cold power they breathe blasts of frost.
- Awesome, but Impractical: Frost Wyrms are the Scourge's most powerful unit in terms of raw stats. They also cost an arm and a leg, only reviving a high-level hero or hiring a Dragon costs more than a Frost Wyrm, and only a Dragon takes up more population space, so they are a huge investment that is difficult to create in significant numbers. On top of their cost and long build time, they require their own unique structure to build, so if an enemy scouts the base of an Undead player they can easily see the Frost Wyrms coming. Despite their high HP, they are still very vulnerable to Anti-Air attacks due to their poor armor and slow speed. As a result, they do not see much use outside of team games where it is easier to amass the resources needed to produce them.
- Balance Buff: Patches to the game increased the Frost Wyrms' health and damage.
- Breath Weapon: Being skeletons doesn't stop the Frost Wyrms from having a Breath Weapon.
- Draco Lich: Reanimated skeletons of dragons with no legs in the original. Reforged adds legs to them.
- Giant Flyer: The largest flying units players normally have access to outside of a dragon.
- Herd-Hitting Attack: When attacking land units, their attack has a small AOE.
- Mighty Glacier: They have the highest HP of any non-hero or non-Creep next to the Mountain Giant, and the greatest damage per attack of any unit in the game. Unlike most flying units, however, they are also slow.
Infernal
Near mindless amalgamations of fel energy created by the Burning Legion and summoned by a powerful Dreadlord with his ultimate.
- Anti-Magic: The Infernal is immune to spells.
- Infinity +1 Element: Infernals inflict Chaos damage.
- Lightning Bruiser: Infernals have the highest HP of any nonhero or Creep unit next to the Mountain Giant, hit almost as hard as a fully upgraded giant, and their Permanent Immolation ability damages any enemy touching it. Unlike most late-game melee units, they have a short cooldown on their attacks and are fast.
- My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Infernals are sometimes encountered as Creeps or built by the enemy during the campaign. In both cases, they are not considered summoned units and have no timed life.
- Scissors Cuts Rock: Infernals are immune to spells, so the various Anti-Magic spells that inflict heavy damage to summoned units do not work on them.
Obsidian Statue
Obsidian Statues are magic statues used at the forefront of Undead armies thanks to their ability to restore health and mana to friendly units.
Introduced in Frozen Throne.
- The Medic: Their Essence of Blight Spell restores HP to nearby units.
- Support Party Member: Filling a role the Undead were missing, the Obsidian Statue can heal units without them returning to blighted ground and restore mana to magic units and heroes.
Destroyer
Terrible creatures are held within Obsidian Statues. Once these Destroyers are released, they cannot be bound again. The beasts have an insatiable hunger for magic that they aim to sate by consuming any magic they come across on the battlefield, while using the magic they consume to rain destruction on the enemies of the Scourge.
Introduced in Frozen Throne.
- Anti-Magic: While a Destroyer can do fairly high damage with its Orb of Annihilation spell, since it doesn't regenerate mana it has to gain it from enemies with its Absorb Mana and Devour Magic abilities, the latter of which also removes buffs and debuffs, and damages summoned units. This allows it to fill a hole in the Undead’s roster as the Necromancer and the Banshee had no spells that could do this, unlike the magic units of other factions.
- Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Unlike most units that start with their mana partially full and slowly regenerate it, the Destroyer starts with all of its mana and slowly loses it. Aside from Orb of Annihilation, its spells give its mana back instead of costing it.
- No-Sell: The Destroyer is immune to hostile spells.
- One-Winged Angel: The creature sealed inside an Obsidian Statue breaks free to give a player a Destroyer. Once this happens, the Destroyer cannot change back.
- Stone Wall: A Destroyer has high HP and high armor for a flying unit. However, its damage is relatively low for its cost unless it uses Orb of Annihilation, which turns it into a Lightning Bruiser thanks to its speed.
Carrion Beetle
Beetles created by a Crypt Lord.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: They are not as big as the Crypt Lord that creates them, but these beetles are still big.
Just a guy.
- WTH, Casting Agency?: While the English dub is widely regarded as being a very good dub, many fans felt James Van Der Beek and Anna Paquin to be ill-fitting choices for Pazu and Sheeta, respectively, with the most common criticism being that their performances make them sound more like teenagers/young adults, even though they were intended to be kids in the original Japanese version and the Streamline dub.
- So Okay, It's Average: This sums up the general consensus on the film. It's nothing truly remarkable as far as Ghibli films are concerned and the story is a bit simplistic, clichéd, and lacking in depth compared to the studio's other films, but it's still a charming and enjoyable romp that is backed up by a fun cast and Ghibli's usual Awesome Art.

She is also Ambiguously Related to the namesake of the Esther Shotwell Memorial Jai Alai center, with jai alai being another game where attempts to score points are called shots.
@ Fillmore Red Robins Dont Fly
- Hero of Another Story: The briefly seen head of the fishing club is either this or the Villain of Another Story, depending on your view of fishing, as he is introduced trying to catch a large, infamous fish named Nicodemus and vows to keep trying after it turns out he's only hooked a sunken box of cookies.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: One of the rare times where school bully Rochelle says anything nice or touching is when she fondly talks about how her mother gave her her Signature Headgear bandanna when she was six to keep her bangs from getting in her face.
- Vigilante Militia: A group of frequently bullied students set out to subject the school's biggest bullies to disgusting pranks that leave them too traumatized to bully anyone else.
@ Fillmore Throttle recap
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After the BAGAST patrol chase Fillmore into a corn maze, one of them freaks out, recalling how someone once got lost in that maze for eleven hours before being rescued, and turns around rather than pursue them. Amusingly, the next scene reveals that he got lost anyway, and needed rescuing along with the kids who went further into the maze.
@ Absurdly Powerful Student Council
The episode "A Forgetten Yesterday" also reveals that the student council can issue search warrants, while a student council president candidate in "Two Wheels, Full Throttle, No Breaks" indicates that he'd have the power to disband the safety patrol if he wins the election.
@ Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat
- What Measure Is a Mook?: Amidst the many nameless and enthusiastic murderers in the villainous army is a recently turned young delinquent couple who, while not necessarily any less murderous than the others, get enough characterization to evoke a small bit of sympathy when they fall in battle. They seem to be a happy couple, briefly mention having parents, and the boy is devastated when his girlfriend is shot in the climax.
- Occasionally affable yet deeply unhinged and impressively dangerous zombie greaser delinquent Jack O'Toole and Xander's shallow gearhead short-term girlfriend Lysette only appear in "The Zeppo", but are decently well-remembered due to how well-known that episode is and they are generally felt to do a lot to improve it (especially Jack).
- Many episdoes show Jeremiah and Kurdy trying to recruit the leaders of various towns (such as a Black militiant in Moon in Gemini and Jeremiah's former lover Michelle in "Mother of Invention") for The Alliance, only for those people to never be seen or mentioned again in episodes where different local leaders debate joining the Western Alliance or decide how it will be run.
