Gold Digger (Comic Book): Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Action Duo]]: Gina and Britanny, [[Brains and Brawn]].

* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Gina, Penny, Lord "Pee-Wee" Talon, and many others.

* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]

** In fact, the shout-outs have become so common, numerous, and a close to the source material that some critics feel it's led to a bit of [[Seasonal Rot]], that the homages have come a little too close to crossing the line into just yanking whatever he likes from other canon and using it directly. (Example: Gina basically just builds herself an exact copy of the Lagann, complete with similar abilities to hijack whatever it attaches to.)

*** It wouldn't be so bad if these things were just done as gags all the time, but often they're ''plot relevant'' in working just like the original reference material. Gina's [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Lagann]] knockoff's ability to, well, act just like the Lagann is extremely important in the storyline. Same with the [[Transformers|Matrix of Leadership]] [[Expy]] the Edge Guard have (which was transferred in a [[Whole-Plot Reference|whole scene reference]] right down to the use of "'Til all are one") (Granted, the Matrix analogue contained a planetoid-sized spaceship in its own pocket dimension, so it didn't function ''quite'' the same. Still, Fred ''does'' love to riff blatantly on ''[[Transformers: The Movie]]''.)

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Rather averted by, for starters, Gina's father Theodore, an arch-mage with a trim, hard body -- who's been shown looking only a bit irked when she [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|accidentally shot a '''10-inch-wide''' hole completely through his chest]]. He explains at one point that every molecule of his body is under his conscious control; a werewolf breaking his spine is annoyingly painful, but not incapacitating.

* [[Start of Darkness]]: Tirant, Dreadwing, the Lich King

* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: Oracle, Azalea

* [[Super Mode]]: Britanny's "Tempest Mode".
