The Darkness (comics)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about The Darkness (comics) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Complete Monster: Paulie Franchetti.
    • Eddie Shrote is one nasty, sadistic son of a bitch as well. Not to mention, of course, the Darkness itself.
    • The Angelus isn't so heavenly either (see its Light Is Not Good entry below).
    • Sonatine probably quallifies as well what with handing out Mind Rape and Fates Worse Than Death like candy.
  • Crosses the Line Twice
  • Fridge Logic: Jackie lures Frankie and a lot of his mooks into an old warehouse, then drops a lit match through a floor grating and into a pool of gasoline, blowing up the whole building. But with that much gasoline open to the air, the mobsters should have been able to smell it from a block away and known they were walking into a trap.
  • Ho Yay - Wenders really wants to serve Jackie...
  • Les Yay: The Angelus and her "companion" in the first comic arc.
    • Recently, the Angelus' host was a lesbian with a crush on the next host. Guess how they transfered the Angelus?
    • Once the Angelus finds a host, it seems to get a girlfriend quickly afterward, whether it's one they made - the thousand-year-old Angelus in the comic's introductory arc created herself a female lover as one of her angel army - or one they met, such as Dani Baptiste and her girlfriend Finch. Even Celestine had a weird fixation on Sara Pezzini. While it's never been overtly discussed, it's possible that becoming the Angelus host actually makes the host a lesbian.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Paulie Franchetti blowing up an orphanage with a bazooka is what causes the rest of the mob to turn on him.
  • Squick
  • Uncanny Valley: A lot of the artwork lives there.
