The Fourth: Difference between revisions

* [[Big "What?"]]: Ecta will use this a bit if she can't believe what she's hearing and gets infuriated ([[Hair-Trigger Temper|more than usual]]), but when she does it to Skärva, he's not intimidated.

* [[Blatant Lies]]

'''Davis''': Uhh...meh...dical...re...search? }}

* [[Bookcase Passage]]: In Skärva's office.

* [[Death Glare]]: Skärva, natch. Ecta does well too.

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: In some of the earlier comics, Skärva would make a sadistically evil proclamation and the art would shift to a grainy black and white just to demonstrate how evil he is.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Skärva furiously wonders aloud how he'll conquer Idenau when his plot for the princess to fall in love with Blank fails. He then remembers that [[Oh Crap|Blank is standing right there.]]

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Skärva's latest plan is for Veronika to fall in love with Blank, so Blank will be too preoccupied to defeat Skärva. His minions are astonished by the ingenuity of it.

* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: The hero is actually ''named'' Blank.

* [[Hermit Guru]]: A little light on the Hermit side, since they're pretty common.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: One page dedicates a panel to Blank rummaging around in his pocket to pull out a spray plunger.

* [[I Am Not My Father]]: Lord Tiberius Skärva the Fourth WILL be the one to destroy that pesky [[The Hero|Blank]] if it kills him!

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Blank defeats Ecta and the ghosts with a spray plunger full of starch.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Skärva is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of this. He's actually a threat worth noting, but is continually defeated and the audience feels quite bad for him.

* [[Insult Backfire]]: Skärva's father isn't insulting Skärva, exactly, but the way he operates.

'''Skärva the Fourth''': What, dead? }}

* [[Intangible Man]]: When she tries to block his way, Davis walks right through Ecta. Ecta is not impressed. Tends to vary, though, as she's later seen dragging him around by the horns.

* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] with Molten Mountain; Skärva notes with mounting dismay just how un-lethal it is.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Turns out light magic is Derk's weapon-of-choice.

'''[[The Dragon|Derk]]''': Well, you figured wrong. Besides, you may be protected by the Gods, [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|but only against dark magic.]] }}

* [[Literal Surveillance Bug]]: Veronika's birds spy on Skärva.

* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Averted; Veronika does ''not''.

* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: A rare non-shouted version, instead more exasperated.

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Lorelei has quite the pair.

** So does Davis.

* [[Terrible Trio]]: Skärva, Derk, and Lorelei are shaping up to be something akin to this. Aren't they terrible.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Blank cuts down Skärva with a single sentence.

* [[Then Let Me Be Evil]]: Implied in Skärva's character bio; gaining the trust of the people isn't easy for a shark man, so he just said 'screw it' and went for their fear instead.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|Throwing The Orb of the Gods Always Works]]: No, no it doesn't.

* [[Unconventional Formatting]]: Each character has his or her own distinctive font for their speech bubbles.

* [[Verb This]]:

''Blank tries to slash Derk with his sword.'' }}

* [[Villain Protagonist]]
