Men in Black: The Series: Difference between revisions

* [[Art Evolution]]: J and K got character redesigns after the first season. L became less pale. The Worms also got a lighter yellow color instead of the darker brown they started with.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Jeebs, Frank and the Worms. Essentially one scene wonders in the first movie, but with frequent appearances in the series (each even scoring major episode plotlines to varying degrees).

* [[Bad Future]]: "The Future's So Bright Syndrome," where a tyrannical Worm has conquered Earth and is overseeing the extermination of the human race.

* [[Batman Cold Open]]: Almost every episode opened with J and K on a mission unrelated to the main plot.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Pretty much everyone.

* [[ET Gave Us Wi Fi]]: A plot point in several episodes where advanced alien technology humans won't be ready for until several decades/centuries causes serious trouble, most notably the Cosmic Integrator that allows Alpha to [[Muggle Power|chop up alien parts and tack them onto himself]]. It is also implied that some familiar technologies, including the 8-track tape and the Clapper, were alien inventions.

* [[Evil Brit]]: Alpha, just like virtually anyone else voiced by [[David Warner]].

* [[Expendable Clone]]: The Quick Clones, as noted above.

* [[For Halloween I Am Going As Myself]]: Or as a completely different alien species. Additionally, a good chunk of monsters in movies are actually alien actors in their birthday suits.

* [[Freeze Ray]]: The Icer, one of the more often-used weapons. Special notice should go to the fact that [[Beyond the Impossible|it can freeze fire]].

* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: Jeebs provides this, as his race can regenerate from nearly anything (even being reduced to gelatinous goo!) as long as oxygen is available, though he can still survive just fine even if there isn't.

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Season 1, episode 6: "Uh, Slim, you remember those Twin Towers? I don't they gonna be tall anymore..." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVuP--PeqaA&t=15m19s Here]. Oh 1997.

* [[The Unmasqued World]]: {{spoiler|1=During the [[Grand Finale]], an unmatched alien threat leads to MiB revealing the existence of aliens to the entire world, so that the entire planet can fight for survival. Then subverted, when the MiB are being honored by the American government, and J points out that everyone on Earth is watching the ceremony, so Z & K take the opportunity to neuralise the entire planet}}.

* [[The World Is Not Ready]]: MiB decides if and when certain alien technologies (like microwaves and time travel devices) will [[Reed Richards Is Useless|make it to market]].

** ''"Don't touch that!!!"''

* [[Trash the Set]]: {{spoiler|1=The first half of the [[Grand Finale]] ends with MiB HQ being destroyed.}}

* [[We Would Have Told You But]]

* [[Wreathed in Flames]]: The episode "The Hots for Jay Syndrome" has Jay gaining fire powers after eating alien food. Surprisingly, this was actually treated like a ''bad'' thing. All that energy has to come from somewhere, and in Jay's case was being leeched from every cell of his body. It would have killed him if it hadn't been reversed.

* [[You Hate What You Are]]: Alpha is a self-loathing human and has been forcibly grafting alien body parts onto himself in an effort to gradually remake himself as the ultimate Frankenstein monster of alien parts, and become functionally immortal. In one episode Alpha actually grumbles about how unhappy he is that he still has parts that are from his own "stupid" species.
