>Heroes team up to fight a "perfect life-form", adapter enemy.
>Enemy becomes too perfect, and starts kicking hero ass.
>Heroes use its own adapt ability against it, to force it into a weaker form to kill it.
Rare trope, but I love it.
Rare Tropes
Kayden Sullivan
Josiah Reed
if it's only happened once is it even a trope?
Robert Gutierrez
Hell yeah. I think its rare because its hard to do it well. You gotta be slick so the audience doesnt see it coming.
David Flores
I personally consider anything that can be an "episode topic" a trope, but I'm probably wrong; I just wanna see more of this scenario though.
Xavier Thomas
Male and female dual protagonists don't fall in love but still have chemistry.
Adrian Sanchez
also
>enemy copies all of their opponents and their fight styles
>to beat them, the hero has to learn a different fighting technique unlike anything hes used to
alternatively, the shite bootleg version of that trope
>"HAHA ILL JUST ACT SUUUUPER RANDOM AND DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I THINK OF DOING!"
Cooper Murphy
>boys vs girls episode
>boys win
Thomas Thomas
>Enemy is simply too powerful to defeat.
>The only way to survive is to get the fuck out of there.
>That's it that's the end of the series
Jonathan Smith
A good subversion would be "poisoning" the perfect life-form's learning.
Pic related.
Ian Mitchell
I think they did something like that in JLA where they got someone to copy the Martian Manhunter's jobbing abilities and then beat him with fire.
Charles Wood
isnt that literally what OP meant tho?
Caleb Brown
It was one of the two times he ever showed up in that show. I think he jobbed in the second time as well.
Evan Gray
>On a spacestation
>Enemy is too powerful
>Has to burn it in the atmosphere to kill it
Carter Stewart
Forcing it to downgrade vs Poisoning it's knowledge
It's a subtle difference,but it's a difference.
Owen Gutierrez
like Shirley from Fairly Odd Parents
he ditches his colossal size so he can become small enough to play basketball, ditches his weapons so he can enter a fancy restaurant and ditches his fairy powers to stop being paralyzed by a butterfly net
Justin Nelson
ooooh I see what this user meant now
thanks bruv
Xavier Martinez
Not really this to a t but the copy creature was outsmarted in Adventure Time (Tree Trunks) and Mao Mao (Enemy Mine).
Christian Nelson
Yeah, trope is shorthand for "recognizable, common narrative device". Something like a love triangle is a trope. Something specific that happens one time in one episode of one show is not.
Levi Bennett
>comedy cartoon has a moment of heartfelt sincerity that doesnt immediatly go back to buisness as usual
Im not asking for wristcutting edge or depressing melodrama, its just nice to feel like the writers care about the characters and arent just using them as a means to an end for joke telling.
Luis Cooper
Welp, since it's here, we may as well...
Camden Ward
>Enemy becomes too perfect, and the heroes become incapable of defeating it
>It's so strong now that it no longer sees them as a threat/worthy opponent, and just fucking leaves
Luis Cook
if it happened less than 2 times then it's a thing and not a trope
Wyatt Brooks
>"perfect life-form" copies hero completely
>Fights the villain because the hero has a better mind set and thus copied it's morals
>At the end leaves the planet to fight for good.
Connor Perez
Justin Foster
>villain hallucinates a past version of themself who they believe to be the perfect version of them in the throes of despair
Jacob Torres
This sucker.
Mason Murphy
>villain meets the mentor of hero he killed in the form of a imperfect AI or clone or whatever.
>Imperfect copy still outbants the villain
Charles Thomas
>Hero has to fight their past self
Joshua Foster
>you have our strengths so that means you have our weaknesses as well
Ian King
>enemy becomes so perfect that it loses its reason for fighting and wanders off
Jack Myers
Leo Flores
Male and female dual protagonists have chemistry and do fall in love.
Charles Baker
