Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns/YMMV


 * Badass Decay: Mewtwo, until the ending that is.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Domino, a girl with a little over seven minutes of screentime, and around seventy thousand words of fanfiction.
 * Well, Domino is very beautiful even for an anime girl. How can you not be when you get to wear opera gloves and thigh-high boots all day for a living, and have a cute hairstyle and a Nice Hat?
 * And not to mention, it must take real talent to do the things she does in her uniform.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Domino and (let's face it) Giovanni (not helped by the below-mentioned Foe Yay between him and Mewtwo.)
 * Foe Yay: And speaking of which, quite a lot of the dialogue between Mewtwo and Giovanni is bizarrely sexual, including Giovanni telling Mewtwo he is a 'good boy' and that now Mewtwo won't be able to 'run away from him again'. Mewtwo also asserts that he 'will NOT submit!' when he is being tortured by Team Rocket's machines.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Giovanni, of course.
 * Memetic Mutation: When it starts raining, "I'll use my trusty frying pan... as a drying pan!" from Brock.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Giovanni comes dangerously close to Complete Monster territory here. As evidenced by Giovanni's quote in the Bowdlerize entry, Giovanni fully intended to use Mewtwo's friends in Team Rocket's experiments if Mewtwo won't submit to him, and his choice of words also heavily imply that he also intends for the experiments that the clones be subject to be also given a vastly high mortality rate. The Rocket grunts are just doing their evil job, and even Giovanni's right-hand girl Domino, a fledgeling sadist, has limits... Giovanni's got no excuse other than he's an asshole who isn't afraid to let everyone else know it!
 * How about that. By Bowdlerizing Giovanni's line, the script writers arguably made it worse.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Mewtwo's effort to break out of the torture machines. Seriously, what the hell was that?
 * Wangst: Mewtwo has this, until he gets over it and has a Moment of Awesome in the end.
