Anti-Anti-Christ/Playing With


 * Basic Trope: A character who is destined to end the world but does not want to.
 * Straight: Alice is the antichrist, but she likes humanity.
 * Exaggerated: Alice the Eldritch Abomination and The Devil him/herself is practically The Messiah who tries to please humanity and stops The End of the World as We Know It that she is destined to bring forth, even becoming a full-blown Christ Figure in the process.
 * Justified:
 * The Power of Love shows her that Humans Are Special.
 * Alice has free will, and ended up being raising by caring parents.
 * Inverted:
 * Dark Messiah.
 * Alice is a Messianic Archetype, but she decides she wants to do evil.
 * Subverted: The Big Bad raises Alice thinking she's the Anti Christ and Alice, being a Extreme Doormat, reluctantly goes along with it, but really wants to be a normal girl.
 * Double Subverted: She develops a spine and Calls the Old Man Out.
 * Parodied: "I am Alice the Antichrist, here to save the day from Pollution!"
 * Deconstructed: Alice learns You Can't Fight Fate.
 * Reconstructed: But what about respecting their elders?
 * Zig-zagged: "I don't want to end the world, until my favorite show ends."
 * Averted:
 * There is no Antichrist.
 * Alternatively, Alice is destined to end the world and totally wants to.
 * Enforced: We have to show people that you can Screw Destiny.
 * Lampshaded: "So you're the Antichrist, but you're saving kittens from trees?"
 * Invoked: "Don't worry, the Antichrist never likes their job."
 * Exploited: "I knew you wouldn't do it, you like us too much."
 * Defied: "You are going to destroy the world and like it."
 * Discussed: "You don't have to destroy the world, Alice."
 * Conversed: "Why did they bother making her the Antichrist?"
 * Played for Laughs: "I don't wanna destroy the world! *throws a temper tantrum*"
 * Played for Drama: "Alice is at a children's hospital: "I can't hold it off forever.""
