Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

* The team Ichigo gets together during Soul Society in ''[[Bleach]]''.

* ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' has the corporation Nergal throw together an entire crew of [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Lawyers]] in order to get the best of the best in every field. The character Prospector [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this trope.

* And then there's ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'', whose crew is mostly composed of the kind of people you don't want near pencils for fear of what they might do to each other with them, much less a destroyer-class military space ship.

* ''[[Black Sheep Squadron]]'' (originally titled ''Baa Baa Black Sheep'') is about the exploits of a squadron of misfit pilots fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific during [[World War II]]. One pilot has crashed so many times he's technically a Japanese ace. Others are drunks, insubordinate brawlers, Japanese-American pacifist mystics, or just plain crazy. Their commander is a drunk, insubordinate, over-the-hill ex-Flying Tiger who whips them into shape and turns them into the terrors of the South Pacific. It's based on a true story, and while the misfit tendencies of the squadron members themselves are highly exaggerated, Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, the squadron commander, was if anything MORE of a drunken misfit [[Magnificent Bastard]] than the one in the TV series.

* ''[[Torchwood]]'' details the exploits of a band of misfits who seem to have nothing in common save the fact they are [[Everyone Is Bi|all inexplicably bisexual]]. In fact, almost as many episodes (including the apocalyptic season finales) deal with the team members fighting each other as with the supposed premise of protecting Earth (or, at least, [[Aliens in Cardiff|Cardiff]]) from aliens.

* ''[[Firefly]]'' is essentially the ragtag bunch of misfits [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]].

* ''[[Farscape]]'' is basically this [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]] too. Of course, they're pretty awesome anyway, since the misfits are comprised of kick-ass ex-soldiers and convicts.
