Line 5:
''Galactik (sic) Football'', is a French produced animated series that mixes conventional 2D animation with 3D motion-capture. Think ''[[The Mighty Ducks (film)|The Mighty Ducks]]'' in space, but not THAT ''[[The Mighty Ducks (animation)|The Mighty Ducks]]'' in space.
The story centres around a group of misfit teenagers recruited by veteran footballer Aarch, to play in the Galactik Football Cup. His new team, The Snow Kids, must face off against a host of magically endowed alien teams and more teen angst then you can shake a stick at if they are to have any hope of advancing in the competition.
Notable because while the team is often surrounded by intergalactic conspiracy, corporate evil and the occasional off-screen genocide, the the Snow Kids are usually mostly unaware of the grand space opera brewing around them and are more concerned with team squabbles and perfecting their dribbling then they are with the evil conspiracy out to get them.
A third season premiered in Summer 2010.
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: (D'Jok's ego problems always get sorted by the end of the season and always return by the start of the next.)
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]] ({{spoiler|Mei and Sinedd}} in season 3)
** [[Romantic Plot Tumor|Which came out of nowhere.]]
* [[Asian and Nerdy]] (Thran)
* [[Beneath the Mask]] ({{spoiler|Sinedd}} after learning he has a real family and something worth living for turns out to have a sensitive and innocent side)
* [[The Big Damn Kiss]] (D'jok and Mei at the end of season 1)
* [[Big No]] (Multiple)
Line 33:
* [[Dysfunction Junction]] (The Snow Kids are pretty bad but they can't compare with the previous Akillian team.)
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]] (at least some of the cast don't have it that easy)
* [[Every Year They Fizzle Out]] (Oh for the days of the great Wambeezan dynasty Zoran old pal!!)
* [[Eyes of Gold]] (Rocket)
** Maya and Keira, too.
Line 49:
* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|Norata and Keira, when they finally get back together.}}
* [[Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist]] (Clamp and Artegor on Paradisia. Clamp also wears socks with Sandals.)
* [[Heel Face Turn]] ({{spoiler|Artegor}} halfway season 2 and {{spoiler|Sinedd}} at the end of season 3)
* [[Heroic Wannabe]] (D'Jok apparently learns his lesson at the end of season 1 but is at it again in season 2)
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]](Aarch wants Addim. Microice wants Yuki.)
* [[Hidden Depths]] (Sinedd, Artegor)
* [[Ho Yay]] (Most of the male cast, but most obviously Artegor and Aarch. They ran off to 'play for the other team' together and when Aarch went back to his own team Artegor never forgave him. He once greeted Aarch by saying ''"can't live another moment without me?"'')
* [[Ineffectual Loner]] (Sinedd in season 2. In Season 1 he's mostly a [[Jerkass]]. Also subverted {{spoiler|Rocket}} is a very effectual loner)
* [[Love At First Sight|Infatuation At First Sight]]: Micro-Ice with Mei and [[Shallow Love Interest|Zoelin]] in season one, and {{spoiler|Yuki}} in Season two. Justified by the fact he's very young and clueless.
* [[The Ingenue]]: Keira.
Line 68:
* [[Married to the Job]] (In the past this pretty much decimated Aarch's relationships with Norata and Addim.)
* [[Meddling Parents]] (Mei's mother is extremely ambitious on her behalf, even going so far as to encourage her daughter to [[Show Some Leg|use her feminine wiles ]] to create a rift in D'Jok and Micro-Ice's friendship.)
* [[Miracle Rally]]
* [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]] (When Sinedd reached the [[Despair Event Horizon]] the Shadows told him to forget it and get beck to work)
* [[Mundane Utility]] (Flux gives super-strength, super-speed, super-agility, teleportation, hypnosis and possibly flight but is used only to play Soccer. A Jedi Council is in place to rigidly enforce this rule.)
** Somewhat lampshaded, since in the backstory, Flux was used to fight savage wars, so the restrictions are seen as necessary.
Line 75:
* [[Nonhumans Lack Attributes]]: Warren is designed to look like down to the suit he wears for public appearances. However his appearance differs from Dr. Manhattan in regards to one large attribute.
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]] (Averted with the Shadows. Played straight with pretty much everyone else.)
* [[Off-Model]]: Season 3, especially episode 2.
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]] (D'Jok and Sinedd)
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] (Sinedd to D'Jok in ''The Duel''.)
Line 91:
* [[Remember the New Guy?]] (Apparently everyone knew Mark before he joined the team and at one point he was set to replace Micro-Ice.)
** Crosses over into [[Ass Pull]]. Supposedly, he was up for consideration when Micro-Ice had left with the pirates, but if that was the case, Aarch would have had him play instead of using a clone, as the clones at that point could have been beaten by a crippled 5-year old. They should just have had him be a friend of the players that had been away during the last cup.
* [[Punny Name]] (D'Jok is the Jock. Sinedd performs the [[Face Heel Turn]]. Who knows what Micro-Ice is a pun of.)
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] (The Snow Kids)
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Mei
Line 104:
* [[Space Pirates]] (The heroic kind, though Corso is the only one who says 'Aarrgh!')
* [[Stock Footage]] (Used so much this troper is surprised it wasn't mentioned earlier.)
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Talking to Himself]] (It's a pretty small cast.)
* [[Team Spirit]]
Line 117:
* [[Underdogs Never Lose]] (Even after they become the overdogs.)
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Sinedd can inadvertently further someone's plot for Galactic domination just by sitting quietly in his room. Rocket and D'Jok aren't immune to this either.
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]] (D'jok after defecting to Team Paradisia and {{spoiler|Sinedd to the Shadows}} both return to the Snow Kids)
* [[We Used to Be Friends]] (Aarch and Artegor)
* [[Worthy Opponent]] (Warren of the Lightnings)
