{{quote|''"The ancient prophecy: that a girl of ancient name shall become queen, that she shall choose a king, and that together they shall rule our world, and that their son shall rule the galaxy."''}}
 
A [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|princess has been kidnapped]] by an [[Evil Overlord]], her father has been killed by evil minions, and it's up to [[The Hero]] to gather a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] to save her and avenge his father's death.
 
Sounds [[Strictly Formula|sickeningly derivative]], doesn't it?
Line 42:
** Don't forget the Old One. And in the case of the Widow it was more of a [[Redemption Equals Death]] kinda thing.
* [[Hypocritical Heartwarming]]: Ergo changed to a puppy to grant the boy's wish. After changing back, he said it was a stupid wish, although [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|no one is fooled]].
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Very much how the Beast treats Lyssa during her captivity, whether [[Scarpia Ultimatum|attempting to woo her]], offering her [[Pimped-Out Dress|gorgeous gowns]] and [[Requisite Royal Regalia|a floating crown]], or coming right out and telling her [[We Can Rule Together]]. The motivation for this seems to be a cross of [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]] (because her child is supposed to rule the galaxy) and old-fashioned [[For the Evulz|villainous nastiness]] so that he can taunt Colwyn with having claimed his love and inspired her betrayal. Of course, she refuses--the first clue that while she is a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]], Lyssa isn't just [[The Chick]] she seems to be.
** In the novelization, it's more of a case of [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]]?. The Beast says "You have been brought here for a marriage, though not of the sort you can imagine. It will be a much more intimate melding than you can conceive of."
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: The glaive, a giant, telekinetic ninja star, with retractable blades. And manually adjustable rotation rate; Colwyn uses it as a rotary saw at one point.
