Epithet Erased

Epithet Erased is a comedy/adventure web series released on VRV in partnership with Brendan Blaber aka JelloApocalypse. In Sweet Jazz City, 1 in 5 people has a unique power from birth called Epithets. They are powers that use a random word that attaches to the soul. Such words like "Fire", "Coupon", or even "Soup" dignify the person's ability. After being locked after closing time in a museum, a young girl named Molly comes into possession of the Arsene Amulet whilst a fight between thieves trying to steal the MacGuffin. She then has to survive the night with her Epithet "Dumb" unless she gets her Epithet erased. The show is produced in a style of Limited Animation, similar to JelloApocalypse's web series, except for some pieces that are fully-animated like the opening which is made by Powerhouse Animation Studios.

The series premiered on November 8, 2019, on the streaming platform VRV. New episodes are uploaded weekly every Friday. The trailer for the show can be found here, the opening can be seen here, and the ending is here.


 * Animation Bump: The Limited Animation style is broken during climatic scenes for certain episodes.
 * Bears are Bad News: Averted with Molly's bear motif due to her kind personality. Invoked when the two bear statues are brought to life due to Sylvie's Nightmare Fuel bring them to life in order to attack Molly and Giovanni.
 * Barrier Warrior: While Indus looks like a musclebound warrior, his 'Barrier' is a defensive power, but the user doesn't seem to have much in intelligence to fully utilize it.
 * Blessed with Suck: Epiphets that have words like 'Coupon', 'Dumb', or 'Soup' would seem less glamorous compared to others.
 * Calling Your Attacks: Flashy Inscribed tend to call out the names for their attacks which isn't necessary for using them.
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: Molly's 'Dumb' can be used not only to use a bubble to nullify sound but to also 'dumb things down'. This means that she can make people dumber than are or even turns down someone's pain to lower damage.
 * One Person, One Power: Each Inscribed has one Epithet which is why the Arsene Amulet is valuable which allows the wearer to use a stolen Epithet with it.
 * Semantic Superpower: How Epithets work such as Molly's 'Dumb' can create a bubble where sound is muted while also 'dumb' things down that can affect even people.
 * What Kind of Lame Power is Heart, Anyway?: Some people's Epithets can be rather lacking compared to other. An example would be Giovanni's 'Soup' allows him to create ...soup which he tries to play it off as something deadly.
