Joan of Arcadia/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Alas Poor Scrappy]]: {{spoiler|Judith}}

* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: {{spoiler|Judith}}

* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: The episode "The Rise and Fall of Joan Girardi" delivers two: Joan randomly going from a revered hero to a hated outcast based on one high school reporter asking completely unfounded questions about her heroism, and Adam's boss blatantly stealing his idea (i.e. committing plagiarism) and everyone's reaction is essentially "oh well, that's the risk of being a teen."

* [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]: Usually at least one an episode.

Line 15:

* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|Judith's death.}}

* [[Too Good to Last]]: It's like some kind of Greek tragedy. The show gets cancelled the moment it showed promise of recovering from [[Seasonal Rot]] and beginning an absolutely ''epic'' battle with the devil.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: In an episode where Will is talking with a rape victim, she snaps at him that rape is something that no man could ever possibly understand. Will agrees with her. [[Double Standard Rape Female On Male|Way to make]] [[Double Standard Rape Male On Male|male rape victims]] [[Prison Rape|continue to feel ignored]].

* [[The Woobie]]: Luke is very often neglected by his family in favor of Kevin and Joan, a fact he comments on frequently. His parents even forgot his birthday dinner, instead inviting Will's boss. Joan, Grace, Adam, and Friedman can all float into this territory once in a while, whereas Judith probably would as well if her problems weren't to a certain extent caused by herself.
