Dominic Deegan/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Tons of it, though it's usually done for laughs. There's a interpretation for almost all the characters. See [[Fanon]].

** Some of it can be quite disturbing as [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6769015&postcount=631 can be seen here.]

** Luna's rather philosophical reaction after {{spoiler|finding out she's been rendered sterile via Maltak's restoration.}}

** There's a quick [[Lampshade Hanging]] about "not letting it spoil her victory," so this'll either be played straight or there will be massive angsting/questing for [[Phlebotinum]] down the road.

* [[Ass Pull]]:

** To many, Siegfried's [[Complete Monster|murderous racism]] just came out of ''nowhere''. The argument goes that he would have treated Luna a whole lot ''worse'' if he were as racist as he was depicted later on in the comic. It can be argued that it was implied earlier in a not very obvious way, such as Siggy being repulsed by Luna's tusks ''because'' they make her look like an orc. Also, he's pronounced the word "orc" in bold and used it as an insult even before the racism was ramped up to much more obvious levels. Of course, that sort of thing is commonplace in the [[All of the Other Reindeer|general population of Callan]].

** And he failed. [[Draco in Leather Pants|Badly]]

* [[Badass Decay]]: Jacob, who went from destroying five members of a death cult highhandedly, to having his arse kicked by Huk Thak, The Shintula Chief, and Neilen, all fights were essentially ended with one move.

** In the form of [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-06-01a knock-knock joke]

** There is a professor at Miranda Deegan's academy named 'Runcible Spoon', a nonsense phrase from the Edward Lear poem ''The Owl and the Pussycat''.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In the current story, Greg is about to invent heavy/black/grunge metal music (the [[Fan Hater|critics]] aren't exactly sure which), inspired by his [[Nightmare Fuel|hellish nightmares]]; in real life, god of heavy metal [[Ronnie James Dio]] passed away.

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Aside from the tusks, Luna is really not a bad-looking girl, [[Only Six Faces|as far as you can tell.]] Siegfried specifically found her quite attractive when her mouth was covered by a veil. When the tusks are visible, everyone acts as though she's thoroughly hideous. Most of those who find her ugly are portrayed as prejudiced or evil in other ways as well, such as the [[Muggles|idiot villagers]] who were also unkind to then-crippled Greg, the [[Fantastic Racism|fantastically racist]] Lord Siegfried, or her poor excuse for a family {{spoiler|who spent a good chunk of time off screen attempting to drive her specifically to suicide.}}

** For a specific example, [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2009-12-14 Luna's dying]. Yeah, right.

** {{spoiler|And lo and behold, she's alive, while technically dead for a few strips, everyone predicted she'd be brought back.}}

* [[Mary Sue]]: One of the criticisms most often levied against the strip is that the protagonists are all Mary Sues. Let's leave it at this and engage in neither snarking nor justifying edits.

* [[The Masochism Tango]]: Dom and Luna.
