VG Exiles is a sprite-based web series by R1665 on [[Newgrounds]]. It is a primarily action based series with a storyline based on the [[Exiles (Comic Book)|Marvel Exiles]] series.
 
The first episode (episode 0) was launched on Newgrounds on May 10, 2008 and wasn't noticed by many. The next episode, launched on November 29 of the same year, was much well received and gained a lot of praise. The third episode (episode 2) [[Darker and Edgier|kicked the violence up a notch]] and was just as well received as the second if not more.
Line 16:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: It has an impressive storyline and to fully understand it you must read about the character backgrounds after the credits.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Sonya Blade, {{spoiler|thanks to precise genetic manipulation, based off of Sub-Zero's DNA}}.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: As with the original ''[[Exiles (Comic Book)|Exiles]]'', the heroes can be killed off at anytime. Their work is dangerous, and made even moreso due to the fact that the Acolytes (a rogue group of reality-hoppers) is out there trying to do them in whenever they get the chance.
* [[Art Evolution]]: CE-Rap has brought a serious quality shift in art style to the series as of Episode 3. In previous episodes, the seemingly endless dialog during art scenes----while still important----felt tedious and static. Though still not "full" animation, the art scenes are now FAR more engaging.
* [[Author Appeal]]: R1665 has stated on his Newgrounds account that the fight for Episode 3 was one that he wanted to do for years and was the reason he got interested in Flash movies.
Line 81:
* [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]: Doubly Subverted during the shower scene of Episode 3. The all-encompassing steam blurs the picture, making the viewer unsure if the nipple is actually drawn in or just their imagination creating what they WANT to see.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Jon Talbain, who in this series is trapped in a permanent Lycanthropic state and can never revert to human form. [[The Woobie|It becomes a major source of his woes]].
* [[Posthumous Character|Posthumous Team]]: Most of the team, in typical [[Exiles (Comic Book)|Exiles]] tradition. Thankfully, however, their sacrifice was honored in a brief flashback in Episode 2, and [[Darkstalkers|Jon]] is still alive to avenge them. {{spoiler|Rest in peace, [[Street Fighter|Chun-Li]], [[Mortal Kombat|Sonya Blade]], [[Fatal Fury|Terry Bogard]], and [[Strider Hiryu|Strider Hiryu.]]}}
* [[Power Glow]]: So far, every single character that has been in a fight has displayed this at some point, even [[Badass Normal|Stryker]], albeit through [[Green Lantern Ring|one of his toys]].
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Cammy White, from the universe where Shadowlaw was a force for peace, making the world a better place. She has yet to reappear since the flashback/recording where she was seen sparring with Sonya Blade.
Line 96:
** Stryker stands toe-to-toe with M. Bison, and more or less [[Curb Stomp Battle|kicks his ass.]]
*** He also gets to teach a few Tarkarans a lesson in stylish butt hurt.
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: Like [[Exiles (Comic Book)|the series]], this team of Exiles is doing the same thing, just with different realities than those of the [[Marvel Universe]].
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Mr. Stryker gets one in ''SHADOWLAWLESS,'' complete with a camera pan-up from his legs to his head. It's possible he'll be ''[[Mr. Fanservice|that guy.]]''
** Which would be fitting, considering his connection with ''[[Love Interest|Heart.]]''
* [[Shoryuken]] Performed by Ken Masters and Sakura appropriately.
* [[Shout-Out]]: largely to ''[[Exiles (Comic Book)|Exiles]]''
** ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' and ''[[Street Fighter]]'' are givens, as the series was also inspired by Proxicide's ''''MK vs. SF'''' Flash series.
** The series has made the '''"(!)"''' sound from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' a staple part of the series. It can be seen and heard in every fight to date.
