Minimonsters: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Frank gets put through hell in "El Perfeccionator". He recovers, though.

* [[Break the Haughty]]: Orchestrated by Frank in the first album when concerning Victor joining the gang, putting him through tests to take his ego down and integrate himself in the town. It didn't work, but Victor joins the Frank's Gang anyway.

** One could argue the whole series is trying to do this ~~for~~ [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Victor]].

** One could argue the whole series is trying to do this to [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Victor]].

* [[Brick Joke]]: In the third album's longest story, Frank makes a joke at his sister Francesca's expense by telling her [[Big Friendly Dog|Victor's dog Chopped]] is someone suited for her. Four pages later, we see her playing with said dog, and looking happy about it.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Lupo is slow due to his constant sleepiness, but he is very far from being stupid.

Line 146:

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] and [[Bedsheet Ghost|Gus]] are described by [[Word of God]] as "inseparable", and it shows. [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[Lovable Jock|Momses]] also have a very close relationship.

** [[Light Feminine and Dark Feminine|Piruja and Guillotine]] are a weird case. They belong to rival gangs, which would make them enemies. This doesn't stop them for being best friends, with Piruja asking Guillotine for love advice, and Guillotine gleefully helping her.

* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: Victor is implied to have one deep, deep, '''DEEP''' down his spoiled jerkassery, if his [[Pet the Dog]] ~~moment~~ ~~in "The Perfeccionator" is~~ to be believed.

* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: Victor is implied to have one deep, deep, '''DEEP''' down his spoiled jerkassery, if his [[Pet the Dog]] moments are to be believed.

** Guillotine has one too, only showing her loving side with her best friend Piruja, and sometimes Henrietta.

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Ruthlessly parodied with Piruja. She's seen as ugly and undesirable by everyone... because she has a wart in her face. She could be very well the minimonster version of [[Family Guy|Meg Griffin]] (only less of a [[Butt Monkey]]).

Line 173:

** Quasim himself has a moment in the first album when {{spoiler|he punches [[Big Bad|Rattus Sapiens]] down the sewers, bringing him back to a normal rat.}}

** In the fourth, [[Beware the Nice Ones|Robert Louis]] punishing [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's Gang]] for cheating in an over-the-top way.

** In the fifth album, Frank explains to Momses he's repairing an invention to save Victor from his disastrous new invention. Once hearing this, Momses happily breaks it, clearly wanting Victor to suffer. While Frank doesn't deserve that, Victor ''definitely'' does, especially considering {{spoiler|his betrayal}} in the previous album (which [[Fridge Brilliance|explains]] why Frank didn't get angry at Momses from doing so).

* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: In the second album, [[Break the Cutie|Frank]] has an [[Heroic BSOD|emotional]] [[Tender Tears|breakdown]] over Henrietta's perceived rejection of him. Cue [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's Gang]] laughing and mocking him for this. Thank God [[True Companions|Lupo and Momses]] were there to defend and comfort him, respectively.

* [[The Klutz]]: Momses. He doesn't have Buena Suerte’s "luck", but he’s extremely clumsy due to his physical strength.

Line 201:

Line 202:

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Guillotine trying to help Piruja in conquering Victor (with underhanded methods, but still), shows her [[Hidden Heart of Gold]] behind her bitchiness.

** Victor gets a huge one at the end of the second album, by joining Frank, Lupo and Piruja in confronting Miss Hit and save everyone. Considering he has spent the entire album being a prickly coward, and how lowly he thinks about the people in Villa Susto, this surprisingly selfless act may be the greatest example of this trope in the comic.

** He got an earlier one in the first album, showing clear concern for his family.

** Morty is pretty much [[The Sociopath]], but he treats his girlfriend Guillotine well, and is genuinely worried when one of his pet worms disappears.

* [[Potty Emergency]]: {{spoiler|The first album ends with one of these for the Frank's Gang.}}
