Bibleman: Difference between revisions

** In ''Crushing the Conspiracy of the Cheater'' Biblegirl gets a message that Bibleman needs to meet with her right away. She takes the quickest route out of the building and falls into the villain's trap. You see kiddies, she ''took a shortcut'', which is ''cheating.'' Because you have to do everything the hard way, even if you have a job where time is frequently of the essence.

** In the episode where Biblegirl's added to the cast, when the idea of adding a new member's mentioned Bibleman says that God will let them know who the right person is if He decides they need a bigger team. It's kind of hard to reconcile this with the [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]] segments at the end of every single movie, that say anyone who accepts Jesus as their savior becomes a Bibleman or Biblegirl.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Unintentional. The villains usually sneak around getting kids to mildly misbehave or putting them in temporarily foul moods. For these terrible offenses against society, Bibleman obliterates said villains with his high-tech weaponry.

** This happened in early episodes, but later episodes had the villains ultimately doing themselves in somehow. By the ''Power Source'' series, it's gone right back to the old ways.

** Justified somewhat in the stuff they've been making since they replaced Willie, which is a lot closer to your standard superhero fare. The villains are a lot like they've always been, over the top and non-threatening, but a lot of the other silly stuff (the constant fourth wall breaking, the song and dance numbers, the overall off-the-wall goofiness) has been done away with. Bibleman's even taken out a few bad guys with a swing of his sword, whereas the Sword of the Spirit was purely a defensive/coolness-increasing implement in Willie's era.

* [[Strawman Political]]: Several of the villains, such as Wacky Protester, who apparently thinks the best way to make people atheists is to go around [[Anvilicious|burning their Bibles]].

* [[Viewers are Morons]]: In the new show, the end credits seriously display Melody's name as "Melody/Mel." As if even children couldn't grasp that the one character whose name starts with "Mel" would be the one they're talking about when using the abbreviation. Particularly when the only name she has is her real one.

* [[Villain Song]]: There was one an episode in the pre-Power Source days.
