A Miracle of Science: Difference between revisions

Given its Mad Scientist motif, one should expect that a significant number of tropes appear as important plot points in the comic. In fact, given the science of memetics, the characters themselves use tropes (common examples being the [[Chase Scene]] and the [[Denouement]]) as psychological aids when dealing with mad scientists.

== This webcomic provided the name of: ==

* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Mars.

* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] as actual insanity, but also subverted as mad scientists' inventions are quickly turned into useful technology for everyone. It's implied that [[The Government]]'s willingness to cut those checks is what led to the advanced society depicted in the comic.

* [[Da Chief]]: Agent Nyerere.

* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Caprice.

* [[Sanity Slippage]] Noticeable in {{spoiler|Benjamin}} if you know what you're looking for, though thankfully {{spoiler|he gets better.}}

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: The only time Dr. Haas doesn't have these is in the prologue, just before he catches SRMD

* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: {{spoiler|on the [[Last-Minute Hookup|penultimate page]]}}

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Solidly Idealist.

* [[Star-Spangled Spandex]]/[[Bishie Sparkle]]: Caprice's hair; [[Word of God]] says it's a fashion accessory.

* [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]]: subverted with the Martians, which are Sufficiently Advanced but actually human.
