The Dark Side: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', this is represented by the "power of Darkness", which eventually corrupts all of the main villains and [[The Rival]] Riku. Later games establish that [[Dark Is Not Evil]] (sort of), allowing Riku to retain his good guy status ''and'' his [[Evil Is Cool|cool]] Darkness powers.

* While it can also be [[The Corruption]], the power of the moon functions this way in [[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles|Ring of Fates]]. As [[The Dragon]] puts it.

 

 

* In [[Coming Up Violet]] high school popularity is treated a lot like this. This is made all too evident when {{spoiler|Abby}} tries to convince {{spoiler|Violet}} to usurp the [[Alpha Bitch]]'s power and ends up sounding very much like [[Star Wars|Chancellor Palpatine]].

* Played for laughs in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'':

"Even if I could, I would not give into the dark side so easily." }}

* In ''[[Endstone]]'', Banestone corrupts [http://endstone.net/2009/06/15/issue-1-page-22/ through this] as well as through the [[Hearing Voices]].

* An episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' had Dark Laser offer Timmy a suit of dark powers, hoping to get him addicted to evil and [[We Can Rule Together|make him his apprentice]]. It almost works.

* Parodied in ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' when Barnacleboy tells Mermaidman he's crossing over to the Dark Side. It's then shown that half of the Krusty Krab restaurant is in a veil of utter blackness, to the point where we can't see anything within.

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' Firebenders have all been taught to fuel their bending with anger, enhancing their warlike tendencies and giving many of them anger management problems. {{spoiler|Late in the series Zuko learns to use [[The Power of the Sun|the sun]] instead, and Iroh may have been doing the same all series.}} Even Aang's [[Defector From Decadence|first Firebending teacher]] viewed it as a wholly destructive power.
