Minimonsters/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

** Victor himself is a downplayed example. He's not evil ''per se'', but he's still an unrepentant [[Jerkass]] [[Spoiled Brat]]. Fandom downplays his more unpleasant qualities.

* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: The third album's story about Skin and bulimia jokes can be considered this. Either that, or an example of [[Crosses the Line Twice]].

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] was this in the first album. He became a [[Breakout Character]] by the second album onwards, thanks to him being a [[Nice Guy|much]] [[Adorkable|more]] [[The Woobie|sympathetic]] and having more awesome moments than the [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]].

** [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]]. His [[Deadpan Snarker|putdowns]] are ''legendary''.

** [[The Pig Pen|Billy Rotten]]. He may not have as much spotlight as the others, but [[Nice Guy|his]] [[The Pollyanna|personality]] has made him very well-liked.

Line 22:

* [[It Was His Sled]]: {{spoiler|Miss Hit is Henrietta's evil alter-ego}}. It was so painfully obvious not even ''the album itself'' tries to hide it.

** In the fourth album, {{spoiler|Victor betrays the Frank's Gang and joins Morty's Gang}}. Again, the album's cover and description spoils it.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Victor Von Piro has shades of this. He’s undeniably a [[Spoiled Brat|spoiled]] [[Jerkass|jerk]] who treats everyone like total crap and only thinks about himself, doing such things like {{spoiler|helping the villain to achieve his goal and betraying his own friends by joining their rival's gang}}. However, those things were done to come back to his former home Miedópolis, failing in both cases. Also, his life ''really'' sucks, if you think about it: He has a [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parent|very embarrassing family]], is a [[Lonely Rich Kid]] who has [[No Social Skills]]; and, to top it all off, he's pretty much the universe's [[The Chew Toy|punching bag]] (although he sometimes deserves it). You want to punch him in the face for being such a jerk, but also feel sorry for the guy~~, or at least understand him a bit better~~.

** To say nothing on Miss Hit. Sure, she's a queen bitch, but {{spoiler|being the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of Henrietta}}, is not like she ''[[Tragic Villain|choosed]]'' to be that. {{spoiler|Her [[Freak-Out]] after discovering her true self is still Henrietta}} only remarks her woobie-ness.

** Add to that list [[The Hunter|Flan Hellsing]]. A monster hunter, he's absolutely pathetic and, deep down, [[Jaded Washout|he knows it]].

* [[Love to Hate]]: Victor, Morty, Rattus Sapiens, Miss Hit and Flan Hellsing. They range from being standard jerks to outright villains, but damn if they're not hilarious or awesome.

* [[Love to Hate]]: Victor, Morty, Rattus Sapiens, Miss Hit and Flan Hellsing. They range from being standard jerks to outright villains, but damn if they're not hilarious or awesome. Or both at the same time.

* [[Moe]]: Basically every minimonster, but [[Bedsheet Ghost|Gus]] takes the cake.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Morty Vivente was never a nice guy to begin with, but when {{spoiler|he hires a minimonster-eater giant spider to eat Piruja and her mom just to ensure the Frank's Gang's defeat}}, it shows his true sociopathy. Made all the worse when you take into account {{spoiler|Piruja is his girlfriend's ''best friend''.}}

Line 31:

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: There's ''hell of a lot'' in this series, along with [[Nausea Fuel]].

* [[The Scrappy]]: While most of the characters have some certain [[Love It or Hate It]] vibes, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who likes [[The Bully|Quasim]], an ugly, [[Dumb Muscle|stupid]], painfully unfunny [[Jerkass|douchebag]] whom [[Karma Houdini|rarely pays for his actions]]. The fact his favourite victims are [[The Cutie|Gus]] and [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Lupo's little siblings]] only makes him even more hated. He's so unlikeable that when [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] gives him a [[Megaton Punch]] ''twice'' in the second album, it comes as a [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|glorious]] and awesome [[Take That Scrappy|Take That, Scrappy!]] moment, [[Karma Houdini Warranty|finally getting some comeuppance for his actions]].

** To be fair, he's also this trope [[In-Universe]], which makes him more of a [[Hate Sink]]. Still, he qualifies for this trope due to the moments when he's present being the weakest parts of the comic.

** To be fair, he's also this trope [[In-Universe]], which makes him more of a [[Hate Sink]]. Still, he qualifies for this trope due to the moments when he's present being considered the weakest parts of the comic.

** Frank's older sister Francesca is also not very ~~well-~~liked due to being an insufferable [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]. Thankfully, she's a very minor character, so it's not as severe.

** Frank's older sister Francesca is also not very liked due to being an insufferable [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]. Thankfully, she's a very minor character and is nowhere near as awful as Quasim, so it's not as severe.

* [[Toy Ship]]: All canon and non-canon Minimonster pairings, most of them being [[Ho Yay]].

* [[Ugly Cute]]: Every Minimonster is cute, but Piruja takes this trope [[Up to Eleven|to a whole new level]].

Line 39:

* [[The Woobie]]: In Mini Monsters, most characters have moments, but these are the most prominent ones:

** The most straight-up example is Gus. Despite his cuteness, he's treated like crap by most of the characters. Although it's [[Played for Laughs]], the fact that '''GUS''' is the main [[Butt Monkey]] (If we don’t count Victor) makes you feel sorry for him.

** Frank is a huge one, as revealed in "El Perfeccionator". It makes his [[Break the Cutie]] process in there really hard to watch.

** Frank is a huge one, as revealed in "El Perfeccionator". It makes his [[Break the Cutie]] process in there really hard to watch. That said, he's also an [[Iron Woobie]].

** Poor, poor Henrietta. Being an [[Ill Girl]] who can't go out home most of the time {{spoiler|and having [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] as an alter-ego}} is really, really sad. Hell, her introductory scene is of her ''[[Cry Cute|crying]]'' in a corner! She does get better, but still.

** Mienai may not be a saint, but he does not deserve quite as much crap as [[Jerkass|his teammates]] do, much less being the gang's (''Especially'' [[The Sociopath|Morty]]'s) [[Butt Monkey|punching bag]]. The fact [[Token Good Teammate|he's the nicest and most pleasant member of the group]] just makes it worse. The only reason he isn't a [[Jerkass Woobie]] is because his jerkass tendencies are pale in comparison to the other characters, and may not even be ''[[Jerkass Facade|genuine]]'' to begin with.
