Line 6:
Yeah! We're really excited to be doing the [[TV Tropes]] page for the International ComicContinuity.
Ah... I'm a bit busy today. Can we start tomorrow? [[Development Hell|Or next week?]] [[Aborted Arc|Screw it,]] [[Self
...
Line 12:
Fiiine.
The International ComicContinuity is an [[All
...[[That Came Out Wrong|let's]] [[Hypocritical Humor|try]] [[Lampshade Hanging|that]] [[Overly Narrow Superlative|again]].
Line 76:
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Ravorhk and Taterman stand out as the best examples.
* [[Army of Lawyers]]: The OCLL has quite the amount of lawyers who often "attack" in "swarms".
* [[Animal
* [[Another Dimension]]: All of the [[Story Arc|Story Arcs]] in ''Gavla's Comics'' take place in an alternate dimension adjacent to the [[IC Cverse]].
* [[Antimatter]]: Getting more commonly used in ''Gavla's Comics''.
Line 83:
* [[Badass Spaniard]]: Gnuklear - at the very least, he speaks Spanish.
* [[Backstory]]: Nearly all of the series include some sort of backstory.
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Blade has never actually said "Its muffin time!", despite it being claimed to be his catchphrase.
* [[The Bechdel Test]]: Though they haven't had much time to speak with each other outside of combat, the main female characters of ''City in the Sky'' pass.
* [[Bizarro Universe]]: The Noob Universe, in which Noob War takes place. Also, the obviously named Bizarro Universe, although it ironically enough fits the [[Mirror Universe]] trope much better than this one (see below).
Line 119:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Part of the reason Gnuklear - and later, a large slew of parody [[Hero Factory|heroes]] - was devised was as a vehicle to play with and mock [[Alternate Character Interpretation|the prevalence of this theme]] in [[Hero Factory]].
* [[Fantastic Noir]]: Basically the whole premise of ''Private Eye Tapika''.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Blade
** [[The Lancer]]: Chokii
Line 146:
* [[GIS Syndrome]]: Used in ''Nuparurocks' Comics'' extensively, but has also made its presence known in ''The Newsroom'', ''Live Learn and Lawsuits'' and several of the others.
* [[Guardian of the Multiverse]]: Its strongly implied that there is at least one, although it is not known who.
* [[Good Ol' Boy]]: Mitch Menard.
* [[Halloween Cosplay]]: Numerous Halloween comics have used this trope, notably Blade dressing up as Link and little kids dressing up as Gavla and Dark709 when Trick or Treating at ''Nuparurocks' Comics''.
* [[Hammerspace]]: Justified, as the technology to use hammerspace exists in-universe and multiple companies sell hammerspace containers.
Line 152:
* [[Head Bob]]: Ennar's animations usually have the characters bobbing their heads to the dialogue.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Janaro and Tapika's relationship is like this, overlapping with [[Incompatible Orientation]] from Janaro's end.
* [[Infinity
* [[Infinity
** Along with the Gr'mahr Hammer.
* [[In Name Only]]: By design, very little of the ICC has any intersection with BIONICLE canon. Virtually all they have in common are species and naming conventions; the ICC sets itself in its own separate offshoot universe, which judging from the mess that was BIONICLE 2008's endless parade of pocket dimensions is actually plausible from a canon viewpoint.
Line 168:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: And how. Every comic series had its own set of original characters, villians, citizens, organizations and other various characters. Put them all together and you have a full fledged continuity.
* [[Metaplot]]: The current comics are all leading up to ''Mask of Existence''.
* [[Mid
* [[Mirror Universe]]: The Bizarro Universe, both visually (as all the colors in said universe are inverted from their ICCverse counterparts) and character-wise (all of the inhabitants are [[Evil Twins]] of their ICCverse counnterparts). Played with in ''SpoofQuest''.
* [[Model Sheet]]: All the sprite comics use spritesheets made from scratch, which basically are the "model sheets" of the genre.
* [[The Multiverse]]: The ICC Multiverse, affectionately nicknamed the "MultICCverse".
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: Averted - Matoran here can actually reproduce, unlike in canon, and several relationships have occurred throughout.
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]: After Kahi became one of the richest men in Taone Nui, things for the "Live, Learn and Lawsuits" cast changed.
* [[Official Couple]]: Ennar and Linnea are probably the most prominent examples in the series, as they are now officially married after about several years of [[Ship Tease|Ship Teasing]].
Line 183:
* [[Only One Name]]: Generally all of the characters, although it is averted with a few, such as Kahi Govaki.
* [[One Shot Character]]: The Geico Employee in the first comic for ''Live, Learn and Lawsuits''.
* [[One
* [[Original Character]]: Almost all of the characters featured throughout are original fan characters, with only scant appearances and references concerning canon ones.
* [[Orphaned Series]]: Almost half of all the series involved have been discontinued in one way or another. Plans to continue are unfortunately frequently left in [[Development Hell]].
* [[
* [[Parody Episode]]: ''The Newsroom'' had many of these, the last being [[CSI: Miami|Cake Surprise Investigations]].
** The current saga of ''Live, Learn and Lawsuits'' has Gavla and Eljay competing in an [[Iron Chef]] parody television special.
Line 214:
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The ICC series are infamous for this, often owing to [[Author Existence Failure]].
** Averted with ''Nuparurocks' Comics: Season Beta'', however, which has currently the longest running daily strip in [[BZ Power]] history and save for one or two weeks has not missed a day since.
* [[Serious Business]] / [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: In response to how disappointingly rampant this attitude is around [[BZ Power]], especially its sprite comic community, the ICC practically has it in their mission statement to go out of its way to poke fun at and [[Averted Trope|avert]] this attitude. Of course, the practitioners of said attitude don't really see the humour.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Polymath seems to be using this a lot, although it is more toned down.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Gavla and Chilly seem to be growing closer in recent instalments of ''Gavla's Comics''.
* [[Shout Out]]: The comics regularly refer to other media: The Newsroom and VakamaTK's Comics have several references of [[Pokémon]] and [[CSI: Miami]], most of Blade's work includes homages to [[The Legend of Zelda]] and [[Metal Gear]], Tapika's work has a lot of [[MS Paint Adventures (Webcomic)|MS Paint Adventures]] references and Live, Learn and Lawsuits has a multitude of shout outs ranging from [[Series/Home Improvement Home Improvement|Home Improvement Home Improvement]] and the [[The Cosby Show]] to [[
** Nuparurocks' comics in particular, liked to reference [[Music/Daft Punk Daft Punk|Daft Punk Daft Punk]], [[Manga/Ranma One Half Ranma|Ranma One Half Ranma]], [[Series/Mister Rogers Neighborhood Mister Rogers'Neighborhood|Mister Rogers Neighborhood Mister Rogers'Neighborhood]] and [[Western Animation/Dora The Explorer Dora The Explorer|Dora The Explorer Dora The Explorer]] among other things (up to the point where Both Daft Punk and Dora were recurring characters in the series).
* [[Something Completely Different]]: ''BIONICLES ADVENTURS COMIXS'' is this to "The Pirogi Vampire", being radically different from the main series.
Line 245:
** Molant, a liquid that is found in pockets of molten lava and can be cooled into a solid object that projects heat.
** Excidite, a much stronger but heavier version of Exidian, as well as being much more rare.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: Averted; all the islands are given placement within the world and there's been several rough maps and/or information about the relations between each island released.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Atoma and Myarti had it going from the [[Aborted Arc]] from the pre-daily strip ''Nuparurocks' Comics: Season Beta'' until it finally got resolved resulting in a [[Relationship Upgrade]] (see above). Ennar and Linnea also had it going from the beginning of the series, although they got promoted to [[Official Couple]].
** Ketoka and Tekatu have also been in this state for about three years now.
* [[Video Game Settings]]:
