Magi Nation: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

=== Tropes common to the franchise as a whole include: ===

* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Paradans tend to be green, the people of Nar are frequently blue, and Bograthians come in a whole range of sort of sickly-looking hues. And Core Magi just get ''weirder...''

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Being that it's a fantasy world, probably justified--but why are these people from a fantastic realm eating jellybeans and quoting ''[[The Princess Bride (~~Film~~)|The Princess Bride]]?''

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: ''Many'' of the Magi. Being an elder in the Magi-Nation universe is essentially a one-way ticket to [[Badass]] land.

* [[Big Bad]]: Agram.

Line 37:

** In Japan, this was changed into Dan, an [[Idiot Hero]] with tons of fighting spirit who rarely thinks things through.

*** This probably says something fairly deep about the cultural differences between Japan and America, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

* [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]]: [[Zig Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged!]] While the Cald region does get a number of damaging and destructive abilities, they're ''also'' big on healing and rejuvenating abilities, providing the warmth of life.

* [[Puni Plush]]: Straight lines? Angles? Never heard of 'em.

* [[Shout-Out]]: ''Many,'' from the generically nerdy (Such as ''[[The Princess Bride (~~Film~~)|The Princess Bride]]'') to the more obscure. And, for some reason, lots to the [[Disney Animated Canon]].

=== Tropes found in the video game include: ===

Line 77:

** Finding one isn't the hard part. Not getting maimed by them is.

* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: ''Several'', actually:

** The fourth Shadow Geyser appears to be the final dungeon, because once you got all those core stones...you can go home. [[The End - Or Is It?]]

** The fourth Shadow Geyser appears to be the final dungeon, because once you got all those core stones...you can go home. [[The End - or Is It?]]

** Then you get the Fifth shadow geyser in the Arderial region.

* [[Doomed Hometown]]: {{spoiler|The Underneath is completely destroyed after Tony takes care of the shadow geyser there.}}

Line 130:

* [[Edutainment Show]]: The show certainly isn't entirely edutainment, ''but'' every episode will have at least one moment where the characters discuss some random bit of educational matter for the viewers to learn. Depending on the episode, this can seem completely natural (before going into the desert, the characters discuss [[Real Life]] desert survival techniques), a little forced (describing ecosystems with the mad zookeeper), to totally anvillicious (discussing what shooting stars and supernovae actually are while watching a magic ''astrological event).''

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: The heroes in the second season

* [[Magical Native American]]: Strag has shades of this, especially his clairvoyant "Moonsense".
