Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: Difference between revisions

* Some readers think that ''[[Code Geass Megiddo]]'' is heading this way.

* [[Jared Ornstead|Perfect Lionheart]]'s ''[[Partially Kissed Hero]]'', full stop. To sum it up: [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]] of the [[Black and Gray Morality]] type meets [[Ron the Death Eater]] (without hyperbole in this case), written by an author that believes that [[True Art Is Angsty|True Art Is Dark And Serious]] and that Harry's regular decency and occasional PSTD exhabrupts [[Stupid Good|equals idiocy]], so the best way to write him as a protagonist is to rid off of those qualities while bringing out the [[Marty Stu]] in him. Making the whole clusterfuck worse is that the fic reads as a [[Protagonist Journey to Villain]] but the author intends to the readers to actually cheer up for Harry & Co. as if they were actual paladins of justice.

** Starfire runs right into Herb of the Musk, {{spoiler|who is so dedicated to [[Just Following Orders]] that despite realizing that she's desperately trying ''not'' to kill him, he just uses her hesitation to [[Curb Stomp Battle|casually beat her unconscious]]. X-COM then [[Mind Rape]]s her and almost ''[[They Would Cut You Up|vivisects]]'' her. Only the appearance of the other Titans proves her a non-combatant(due to being more subtly Mind Raped), which leads them to instead draft her without a second thought and imprison her in an environment that browbeats her with UN legislature that [[Inhumanable Alien Rights|aliens have no rights]], and she's ''not'' an exception.}}

** Jinx makes a friend for the first time since she left both the HIVE Academy and the Titans, {{spoiler|a rogue alien clone of Akari Unryuu, only for X-COM to accidentally-on-purpose return her to alien control so they can [[Playing with Syringes|experiment on her.]]}}
