Plot Tailored to the Party: Difference between revisions

 

Compare [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]], which is when the plot improbably makes use of a ''single'' [[Crippling Overspecialization|character's abilities]]. This frequently comes up in a [[Tournament Arc]], where the heroes will have to pair off against their [[The Psycho Rangers|equal and opposite villains]]. It's also common in [[Tabletop RPG]]s, where it serves as a way to ensure that everybody's doing enough stuff to have fun. In one-off works, it's a case of [[Chekhov's Gun]] - of course they're going to need to crack a safe, or they wouldn't have brought the safecracker.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The manga version of the Mew Aqua arc in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' had the aliens taking a mew aqua into the realm of each of the girls' influences (For example, Mew Mint, whose power is air, had a chapter with a mew aqua floating above [[Tokyo Tower]].), as they tried to use it to fuel a [[Death Trap]] for both the girls and the rest of the city. It never ended up working. In the anime, though, this was abandoned and Ichigo got every single mew aqua, ignoring the other girls' elemental advantages.

** In which case, Green Lantern should have permanently handcuffed himself to Color Kid, making both of them much more useful.
