Minimonsters/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

== El Perfeccionator (The Perfeccionator) ==
 
* The comic's [http://www.normaeditorial.com/libros_img/01203308601_G.jpg book cover] features Frank protecting Henrietta from a ''very'' [[Slasher Smile|evil-looking]] [[Big Bad|Miss Hit]]. Especially moving {{spoiler|considering both girls' [[Jekyll and Hyde|true relationship]].}}
** The back cover is even better: It features Frank showing his heart-shaped brain to Henrietta, and her being flattered by it. It's [[Better Than It Sounds]].
** And if that doesn't convince you they're an [[Official Couple]], [http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1350/2865/1600/Ilustraci%3F%3Fn.gif this image] features Henrietta clearly fawning at Frank. Isn't it adorable?
 
* Throughout the entire album, it's shown how [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|amazingly embarrasing]] Frank's parents are. Yet, for all this, they're ultimately [[Good Parents|well-intentioned and caring]], doing their best to cheer their son up, fully aware of his [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|self-esteem]] [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|issues]].
Line 34 ⟶ 38:
* When Frank has an [[Tender Tears|emotional breakdown]] over the aforementioned rejection, both [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[The Big Guy|Momses]] quickly go to comfort him, and defend him when [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's gang]] [[Kick the Dog|laugh at him]] for this.
 
* Frank and Gus' brotherly relationship is one of the most heartwarming in the entire comic, and it shows there at full force. Gus [[Big Brother Worship|adores and idolizes]] Frank greatly, enthusiastically telling Miss Hit how much of an honor is sitting with him in class while complimenting him. When Victor tries to take over as leader, Gus is the most outraged at this, and immediately joins Frank in investigating the disappearances. It goes around the other way, too: Is [[Word of God|pretty much stated]] Gus is Frank's best friend and, rather than putting him in danger, tells Gus to call the police and stay away from the conflict while the rest of the Gang goes to stop Miss Hit personally. Seriously, these two [[Heterosexual Life Partners|really care for one another]].
 
* Frank, despite being annoyed at Lupo's [[Sleepyhead|constant sleepiness]], shows he cares a lot for him when he made him a security belt for his narcolepsy as a school project. This gets even more heartwarming when at the end {{spoiler|Lupo was the only one who managed to pass the school assignment, and gave him Victor's truth mirror as thanks.}} Lupo's [[Batman Gambit]] against Victor was partially motivated by him considering Frank the gang's true leader, and happily calls him such when he comes back after (accidentally) defeating Quasim in Victor's place.
 
* [[Jerkass|Victor]] has spent the entirety of the album being a jackass [[The Starscream|starscream]]-wannabe. After the reveal of {{spoiler|the whole [[Jekyll and Hyde|Henrietta/Miss Hit]] trainwreck}}, you would think he would just go back home and get out of this, especially after being utterly humiliated. Instead, he joins Frank, Lupo and Piruja in stopping Miss Hit and rescue everyone. Granted, he's still abrasive as always, but the fact [[It's All About Me|he]] '''willingly''' joined to help his [[With Friends Like These...|disliked]] friends to save people he normally doesn't give a crap ''for no reason whatsoever'', it's an incredibly powerful [[Pet the Dog]] moment. Maybe he's [[Hidden Heart of Gold|not so bad]] after all...
 
* At the end of the album, {{spoiler|after Frank saves her, Henrietta sends him a photo of her as thanks. Frank himself ''tried'' to give her a gift: A Perfeccionator-ized butterfly. It's rejected by her dad due to her [[Ill Girl]] status, but his sister Francesca compensates by giving him a photo of her brother.}} Aaaww...
