Tropes Used on PRMVF

[4EverGreen]

Wow! Personally, I never thought this series would utilize so MANY tropes, it would get to the point where we started a brand new PAGE of examples, but here we are! Here is another batch of tropes this series has utilized at one point or another in this series. I hope you enjoy reading them, as much as I did writing and researching them. /

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PinocchioSyndrome: One interesting variation of this happened in “Power Rangers Multiverse Force” season 2. The first time that D.O.G., an Eltarian canine saw Captain Retro, who was ALSO an Eltarian canine but anthropomorphic, D.O.G., wished that he could be an anthropomorphic canine the same way that Captain Retro was. In “Shock the Monkey!”, he unexpectedly got his wish, when he was FORCIBLY transformed by Psygorn, using one of Doctor Maniac's sinister inventions! Psygorn had attempted to turn D.O.G., into an evil monster, but because of D.O.G., having a unique alien biology, all it did was turn him anthropomorphic, and give him the ability of speaking English without needing an electronic dog collar.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Hawkians, namely BlackHawk and StarHawk, can be considered this. The former before he even found OUT he was a Hawkian! Abby Little is also this to, albeit, somewhat reluctantly and not ALWAYS for the same reason. So far, Coop has subverted this trope, although he HAS expressed interest in wanting to join IN on the fights with the Power Rangers! The Taurans and the Vyram (Radiguet's race), can be considered to be DARK versions of this trope!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RetGone: Arguably, could be seen as the reason WHY both Scorpina and Tor, just suddenly disappeared sometime during season two of “Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.” It's because, as explained in the episode of “Hot-Blooded!”, Naruto and BlackHawk had to travel to the year of 1995 (“It Makes Sense in Context”), and had to fight with Tommy, Adam, and Billy, in order to take down Scorpina! The only way they could do that, was by sacrificing Tor, to blow itself up in order to destroy Scorpina. Therefore, the reason WHY this event wasn't explained DURING “Mighty Morphing Power Rangers”, and wasn't explained UNTIL BlackHawk and Naruto had actually DONE the event, is because from THEIR perspectives, they HADN'T accomplished their task yet, and any prior knowledge that they had done so, might have affected the outcome of that battle!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PortalToThePast: This is how the Power Rangers travel to the past in “Return of the Green Ranger Part I-III”, Kimberly in “Wild West Rangers Part I-II”, the entirety of “Power Rangers Time Force”, “Reinforcements From the Future Part I-II”, “Wormhole”, and “Hot-Blooded!” in “Power Rangers Multiverse Force” itself! With the exception of “Wormhole”, all of the above examples operate on http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SanDimasTime, meaning that any amount of time spent in the past, will be the SAME amount of time that passes in present time, from when the Rangers initially went into the past in the first place!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScaleOfScientificSins: By the time season two of “Power Rangers Multiverse Force” has started, Doctor Maniac has already gotten to violating the first 3.2 sins of science, with every FULL intention of VIOLATING all seven of them! Of course, thanks to various elements of “Warhammer” having made its way to “Power Rangers Multiverse Force,” forces that Doctor Maniac cannot possibly HOPE to comprehend, have already BEAT him to violating all seven scientific sins LONG before he ever could!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SomeKindOfForceField: Justified two times so far in “Power Rangers Multiverse Force.” The first case involves a magical Force Field which is POWERFUL enough to keep Radiguet from being able to PHYSICALLY enter Core Earth in his OWN body, but sadly can't prevent OTHER forces of evil from being able to pass through it un-harmed, which Radiguet uses to his FULL advantage in order to BREAK the Force Field from the INSIDE! The second time was in “Vision Quest Part I: Head Games”, where BlackHawk accidentally ran into one, set up by psychic girl Alma (acting on the orders of Radiguet, posing as T'zeen'tch), to PREVENT the Power Rangers from RUINING his plans to early! The Power Rangers manage to break it by combining all of their fire-power at once, but Alma succeeds in bringing Radiguet to Core Earth, to temporarily inhabit Ace's body anyways.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClosestThingWeGot: Played for laughs in the Christmas special, “The Fight Before Christmas”, BlackHawk suggested that Toby could act in a Christmas play production of “A Christmas Carol”. When BlackHawk asks Toby if he can fill in for the actor who was SUPPOSED to play Ebenezer Scrooge, and whether or not Toby had ever acted before, Toby replies: “I once played a tree in an elementary school play once.” And BlackHawk replies: “Close enough!”

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensAndMonsters: Perhaps an easier question to answer is, when is this trope NOT in effect in “Power Rangers”?! So far, the biggest examples are “Power Rangers Zeo” (where sentient machines were the biggest threat), and “Power Rangers Time Force”, where they had to deal with rogue mutants, and robot machines.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeirdScience: Thanks to the presence of Billy, Alphys, and Doctor Maniac as a dark example, you can expect this trope to pop up with a dependable amount of regularity on season two of “Power Rangers Multiverse Force”.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingInYourDreams: This is one of Captain Retro's abilities. In “Vision Quest Part I: Head Games”, he reveals that when he sleeps, he is able to see the dreams of others, and talk with the mental representation of the one who is dreaming them; in this case, BlackHawk. Captain Retro informs BlackHawk that while he has the ability to talk to others in their dreams, he can NOT control, what it is they are dreaming about. And BlackHawk was dreaming about Ace being brought back to life! Which soon became very true, in a very DARK matter!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VirtualTrainingSimulation: This is what the Holodeck on “Power Rangers in Space”, and the Virtual Simulation Planet in “Power Rangers Multiverse Force”, are all about. It provides the Power Rangers training experiences in a controlled environment, with adjustable difficulty levels, and customizable experiences. In the case of the latter, it can also provide access to the Morphing Grid, seen in “Virtual Insanity!”, and can also serve as a portal into the past, seen in “Hot-Blooded!”

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UpliftedAnimal: Happened to D.O.G., and Captain Retro. D.O.G., was originally just fitted with a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslatorCollar, so that he could speak English like a human. Later, he was scientifically transformed into being anthropomorphic, and gained the ability to speak English without the need for an electronic collar. Captain Retro became an anthropomorphic canine, gained the ability to speak English, and got many super-powers, thanks to the magic of the Magi-Mother. Due to being from different dimensions, it is unknown whether this trope can apply to Pinkie Pie, Lettuce, or anyone featured from “Camp Lazlo.”

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TimeStandsStill: One of Alma's psychic powers, is that she can artificially make time APPEAR to stand still, and can mentally FREEZE people still, revealed in “Vision Quest Part I: Head Games”. As it turns out, if she doesn't REMEMBER to mentally reinforce her mental freezing constantly, than someone with sufficiently ENOUGH power can BREAK her mental freezing, as Radiguet did in “Vision Quest Part II: Orange Sunset.”

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoABarrelRoll: This trope was referenced as a cool thing to do, in a dream that Lettuce had, in “Heightened Anxiety”.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFightingNarcissist: Greater-scope villain Radiguet DEFINITELY fits this trope! For example, in “Land of Confusion: Part I”, when BlackHawk manages to make a SUCCESSFUL attack on Radiguet's FACE, Radiguet royally FREAKS out, and decides he needs to kill BlackHawk EXTRA painfully, as a form of disproportionate retribution!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In “Vision Quest Part II: Orange Sunset”, this is what happened to FireHawk, when Super Psycho Zero Girl 01, stabbed FireHawk with an energy spear, which eventually led to the death of FireHawk. Not too much later in the same episode, BlackHawk managed to do this to Super Psycho Zero Girl 01, by stabbing her with his Electric Saber and making it a https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArmorPiercingAttack in the process, but she used all her available energy, to try to pull an “I'm Taking You With Me,” on BlackHawk! Although she succeeded in destroying BlackHawk's Orange Spinosaurus Ranger powers, BlackHawk himself survived the attack.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoSell: This is what the Multi-Megazord (with only a few exceptions), and the Ultra Multi-Megazord (with no exceptions), are able to do to all of their enemies attacks! Radiguet (when he is in his own body), is able to do this with almost ALL individual attacks aimed AT him! It usually requires a COMBINED effort to even hurt him a little, and even THEN, he usually takes the attack with no more than a charred hand for all the effort required!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarGod: If the Blood God of Chaos, Khorne, doesn't qualify for this trope, nobody does! And even though only Radiguet HIMSELF, calls himself a God, he still likes to think of himself as qualifying for this trope!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnblockableAttack: Out of all the attacks featured on “Power Rangers Multiverse Force”, only the Ultra Multi-Meagzord's firing full arsenal attack (which is also a case of, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill) is TRULY unblockable! Only Radiguet ever TRIED to defend himself from the onslaught in “Land of Confusion: Part II”, and the force STILL forced him to revert back to his normal form! Whereas Emperor Diabolica was warped away to the Chaos Realm, before the attack could actually hit him, in “Laughter of the Thirsting Gods: Part II”!

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SanitySlippage: One of the things that Kras'hir has to constantly worry about, is the fact that if she doesn't satisfy her blood lust for Khorne, the Blood Chaos God, than she will slip into this, to the point where she WON'T be able to distinguish friend from foe! Usagi also initially had to worry about this in season 2, until FireHawk severed her link to Khorne, the Blood Chaos God.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: “Word of God,” is, Captain Retro has this phobia, only with bees instead of snakes!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeHaveReserves: Doctor Maniac's attitude towards the Power Rangers attempting to stop his evil plans. Kind of justified, since he DOES have cloning technology, and can simply re-clone any of his mooks, any amount of times that he wants to.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain: In the episode, “Follow You, Follow Me”, this was one of Doctor Maniac's reasons for NOT wanting to partner up with the alternate dimension Nazi's from the Nazi Realm dimension (despite the fact that they could arguably seen as a https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassArmy for having completely conquered over their entire realm!) In the first place, he didn't like working with them at ALL! In the second, he felt that past teams of Power Rangers (namely, the first ACTUAL team, the “Power Rangers Valor Force”, and the fifth ACTUAL team, the “Power Rangers Solar Force”), had already PROVED that an evil legion of Nazis, was no match for a team of Power Rangers!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViolationOfCommonSense: Anyone who personally witnessed Slaneesh FORCE Usagi and Kras'hir to make intimate love to each other in “Laughter of the Thirsting Gods: Part I”, was a big example of this. The only reason this is a Justified action, is the fact that Slaneesh is the Depraved Chaos God of Pleasure, and “It Amused Him.” Also, the marriage between StarHawk and her sister, FireHawk, was seen as this to a somewhat lesser extent.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VampiresAreSexGods: It has been largely hinted at that Ebony has utilized this trope to get people to sleep with her! Justified in the fact, she IS actually a quarter-vampire!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActualPacifist: So far, Lazlo and Sally Anne are the only characters who can actually be said to qualify as this trope, since they've never actually hurt anyone, not even out of retaliation!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysSecondBest: This is the way Queen Hedrian felt that everyone else thought of her, in comparison to her older sister Rita Repulsa, prior to Queen Hedrian's “Heel-Face Turn” in “Follow You, Follow Me.” Ironically enough, in “Land of Confusion: Part I”, Queen Hedrian's father Master Vile, actually told Queen Hedrian herself, that he ALWAYS thought of her as the more EVIL daughter!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Thankfully, subverted by Coop. He is intelligent enough to help out Billy and Alphys in redesigning the personal vehicles of the Power Rangers in season two, and it has been hinted at that he is more than capable of holding his own in a fight.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArrestedForHeroism: This happened to Usagi and Kras'hir in “Cosmic Guardians: Part II”! Justified, because it was actually a bad guy POSING as the President of Core Earth, who did the arresting!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BabyTalk: This is how Usagi and Kras'hir usually talk to their adopted daughter, Sally Anne. Justified, as she IS only three years old.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BenevolentBoss: Technically speaking, both Zordon and Omnus can be seen as one (even if they themselves wouldn't call themselves a boss).

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBadWannabe: Louie Kaboom was a short-lived one in “Power Rangers Zeo”. He briefly took over the Machine Empire until a suicide battle LITERALLY blew up in his face in a Megazord battle! Darkonda was this to Dark Specter in “Power Rangers in Space”. Although Darkonda succeeded in delivering the fatal blow to Dark Specter, Dark Specter managed to use the last of his life force to take down Darkonda with him! Deviot was this to Trakeena; and in an unusual bit of irony, his ultimate fate ended up being merged WITH her, leading to a transformation where Trakeena “Came Back Wrong”. Frax could be seen as this to Ransik, in “Power Rangers Time Force”. Zeltrax could be seen as this to Mesogog in “Power Rangers Dino Thunder”. Jarrod is an unusual case, in the fact that although he was physically and TECHNICALLY the Big Bad for most of “Power Rangers Jungle Fury”, he ended up just being the human vessel for Dai Shi, the true big bad of that season! Vrak and Prince Vekar, are this to Emperor Marvo in “Power Rangers Megaforce” and “Power Rangers Super Mega Force” respectively. For “Power Rangers Multiverse Force” examples, Demon King Banriki was this to Queen Hedrian. Vipera was this to Emperor Diabolica, and she actually SUCCEEDED in becoming the “Dragon Ascendent”, when she became the new ruler after Emperor Diabolica escaped into the Chaos Realm. And Psygorn (unknown to Doctor Maniac), is this to Doctor Maniac! Arguably, Emperor Diabolica, Vipera, Doctor Maniac, and Queen Beryl, are all THIS compared to Greater-scope Evil Radiguet!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigDamnHeroes: BlackHawk pulled one of these moments in “Orange Crush: Part I”; Captain Retro pulled one in “Land of Confusion: Part I”, and Woolbur Fleeceley pulled one in “Vision Quest Part II: Orange Sunset”.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BiggerIsBetterInBed: This is Ebony's attitude towards her preference in regards to a guy's 'size'. So far, she counts BlackHawk as the biggest AND best experience she has ever had! Too bad she HAD to go and cause BlackHawk to break up with her!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BitchInSheepsClothing: Arguably, this is what Vipera became, when she utilized her human Viola disguise in “Life is a Beach!”, in an attempt to steal the Orange Ruby away from BlackHawk!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: In “Land of Confusion: Part I”, this ended up happening to Naruto, when he TRIED to punch Radiguet un-morphed, with an elemental punch called “Firefox Punch!” Radiguet didn't even FLINCH from his attack, and Naruto even lampshaded this trope, by saying: “I think I broke my arm while trying to punch out Cthulu!”

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MidSeasonUpgrade: Happened to BlackHawk, in the form of a Six Ranger Addition. Technically, he was the seventh Ranger, but it counts. In “Orange Crush: Part I”, he became the Orange Spinosaurus Ranger, for his ability to bond the Orange Ruby with his own power.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HerHeartWillGoOn: “Word of God” is, despite having lost FireHawk, StarHawk will persist, and be able to move on from this unfortunate turn of events, and will be able to love again despite losing someone close to her.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButForMeItWasTuesday: Doctor Maniac said this trope, when Woolbur Fleeceley brought up the death of his older brother in “Shock the Monkey!” /

That's it for my list of tropes this time! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

After a long hiatus, here are a few more tropes utilized in "Power Rangers Multiverse Force." I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did researching them!  /

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CyberneticsEatYourSoul: In "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise", Dr. Maniac succeeds in breaking the 3.3 sin on the "Sliding Scale of Scientific Sins". Namely, he upgrades the Super Psycho Zero Girls with such DANGEROUS technology, it literally EATS away all former traces of their former human personalities, making them a case of "Were Once Women", and turned into "Complete Monsters", devoid of any traces of redeeming qualities.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnsembleDarkhorse: Your mileage may vary, but D.O.G., was originally only intended to be an occasional character who would pop up now and then, in the "Power Rangers Multiverse Force" story-line. However, he proved to be so hilarious, with many "Crowning Moments of Funny", he has often been elevated to regular co-starring status with the main Rangers, especially after he became anthropomorphic in "Shock the Monkey!"

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeastInTheMaze: Played straight in "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise", during the first of BlackHawk's three trials in order to repair his Orange Ruby. At first, it appears it will be subverted, thanks to the fact that it's only a Giant Cat in a mouse-type maze, but it's played straight, in the fact that BlackHawk can't reason with it, and he can't fight it without his Ranger powers, so he has to run away from it! Thankfully, he escapes the beast without any injuries!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards: Seems to be the case, at least as far as Kunzite and Benzite are concerned, among Queen Beryl's minions. They are NOTICEABLY disturbed when Dr. Maniac stooped so low, as to make his Cybernetics eat the souls of the Super Psycho Zero Girls, and state to each other that Queen Beryl should NOT have aligned herself with such a deranged Maniac!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyWontYouDie: Said exactly by Naruto, to the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters in "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise." Justified in the fact that despite the fact that a record TWELVE rangers were trying to blast and slice them to bits, they were STILL able to regenerate themselves thanks to advanced cybernetics after each attack! Even when Naruto blasted them SO fast, they SHOULDN'T be able to come back; Dr. Maniac revealed himself to be "Crazy Prepared", as he reveals an ARMY of 300 Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters, 99 copies for EACH of the original Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShoutOut: As of "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise", with the locations of Redwall from the "Redwall" book series, and Bird Island from "The Angry Birds Movie" making appearances, the shout-out of these locations mean that it's now possible for "Power Rangers Multiverse Force" to contain references or elements from those franchises as well!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CurbStompBattle: Once BlackHawk takes ANOTHER "Level in Awesome", by upgrading to the powers of the Golden Sun Lion Ranger, BlackHawk is able to do this to ALL 297 copies of the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters, slicing them and blasting them into nothingness EASILY, whereas BlackHawk STRUGGLED to bring down just one NORMAL Super Psycho Zero Girl before in his Orange Ranger form, and 12 of his fellow Rangers STRUGGLED to bring down just THREE copies of the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters! The giant forms of the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters fared no better, as they were taken down in just FOUR attacks by BlackHawk's new Leo Lion Zord!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SanitySlippage: Seems to be happening to Dr. Maniac, especially evident during his "Villainous Nervous Breakdown" near the end of the episode, where he starts BLASTING everything in side, SCREAMING about wanting the Power Rangers DEAD, and RANTING about wanting the McDonald's Mulan Szechuan McNugget Sauce, itself a popular "Running Gag" with Dr. Maniac.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to "Word of God", "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise", was supposed to feature a longer, COOLER fight between BlackHawk and Garudia, as well as a slightly longer fight between BlackHawk and the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters, which would've introduced another new Megazord combination, as well as an un-featured song for the End Credits. However, due to constraints of time, and limited space for the episode's running time, the above-mentioned stuff had to be cut, or postponed for another episode's plot.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PutOnABus: Has happened several times in "Power Rangers." Tommy HIMSELF, has had this happen to him quite a few times. For fourteen episodes in season one, two episodes in season two, his adult self in the "Mighty Morphing Alien Rangers" mini-arc; and seemingly departed for good in "Power Rangers Turbo" in "Passing the Torch Part II", only to return for the 10th season anniversary episode "Once a Ranger", returning for one full season in "Power Rangers Dino Thunder" (and un-officially, in the "Power Rangers S.P.D." team-up "Wormhole"), appeared again in the "Power Rangers Super Mega Force" 20th year anniversary episode "Legendary Battle", and now appears sporadically within "Power Rangers Multiverse Force". Scorpina had this done to her following "The Mutiny Part I", only to pop-up again in "Goldar's Vice-Versa", before disappearing entirely. The reason for doing this wasn't solved until the "P.R.M.V.F." episode, "Hot-Blooded!", where it was revealed that she was killed in-between the canon episodes of "The Wedding Part III" and "Return of the Green Ranger Part I", which also dealt with the disappearance of Tor the Shuttle Zord, as well as the entire season two absence of Titanus. Rita and Finster had this happen to them following "The Mutiny Part III", the former briefly returning in "White Light Part I-II", before returning full-time in "The Wedding Part I". Rita and Finster were put on a bus AGAIN following "A Zeo Beginning Part II", only to temporarily return half-way through "Power Rangers Zeo" and appearing sporadically after blowing up the Machine Empire in "As Good As Good", before Rita turned to good at the end of "Countdown to Destruction Part II". Rita herself reappeared as The Magi-Mother in "Power Rangers Mystic Force", and again, sporadically throughout "P.R.M.V.F". Jason had this happen to him after "The Power Transfer Part II", only to return in "A Golden Homecoming", and appearing until "Turbo: a Power Rangers Movie", where he was put on a bus AGAIN, only to reappear in "Forever Red". He has appeared in "P.R.M.V.F.". Master Vile managed to get himself put on a bus rather quickly after his impressive debut, in "Alien Rangers from Aquitar Part II", briefly reappearing in "A Zeo Beginning Part II", and in "From Out of Nowhere" in "Power Rangers in Space." He is revealed to have SURVIVED Zordon's purifying Energy Wave in the "P.R.M.V.F." two-part episode "Land of Confusion." Although he leaves after that, it is revealed that he is STILL plotting and planning elsewhere. Billy had this happen to him after "Rangers From Two Worlds Part II", returning semi-regularly in "P.R.M.V.F.". Rocky had this happen to him after "Shift Into Turbo Part II", but has since been rescued from the "So Okay, It's Average Heap" in "P.R.M.V.F.". Adam had this happen to him after "Passing the Torch Part II", briefly returning in the "P.R.i.S." Episode, "Always a Chance," and again for the "P.R.O.O." 15th season anniversary team-up, "Once a Ranger," appearing in "P.R.M.V.F.".

Generally, any and all Power Ranger members from the past team of the last season (Starting with the "Power Rangers Zeo" team-up "Rangers From Two Worlds"), and more or less lasting with regularity until the "Power Rangers S.P.D." team-up "Wormhole", have a chance of returning for the following season's team-up. Within "Power Rangers Multiverse Force" itself, Emperor Diabolica, Drako and Baphomet were Put On a Bus at the end of season one, the latter two justified as they were...well, killed, before they were brought https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BackFromTheDead in "Vision Quest Part I: Head Games!"; Vipera after "Cosmic Guardians: Part II", reappearing once within season two before getting a "Mid-Season Upgrade" in "Vision Quest Part I: Head Games!", and becoming a "Deadly Mini-Boss" within the "Vision Quest" mini-arc, before being Put On a Bus again, but at least, THIS time, with a Justified reason, as she needs to fulfill the second part of her bargain with Doctor Maniac, in collecting 200 Necron Robots. /

That's it for my list of tropes THIS time!  Enough said, true believers! 

[4EverGreen]

Here are a few more tropes that I have discovered, that have been utilized in "Power Rangers Multiverse Force". Read on, and find out what they are!  /

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FaceDeathWithDignity: A couple of villains have done this on “Power Rangers Multiverse Force”. Namely, BlackHawk's evil mirror copy in “Land of Confusion: Part II”, even going so far, as to admit that the Good BlackHawk was a https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WorthyOpponent. Drako did the same in “Laughter of the Thirsting Gods: Part II”, even though he was eventually brought “Back from the Dead.” Super Psycho Zero Girl 01 not only did this in “Vision Quest Part II: Orange Sunset”, she tried to pull a https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TakingYouWithMe on BlackHawk. She died, not knowing that it only destroyed his Orange Ranger powers, and not killing BlackHawk himself. A non-fatal version happened in “Reborn: Part I”. When Toby was informed by Omnus that due to his continued inability to focus and maintain civility and dignity to some of the friends that his other Rangers had meant, he was being forced to pass on his powers to a “Worthy Successor”, Toby accepted this fate with dignity. But when Ebony was told that the same fate also applied to her, she ended up being https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotGoodWithRejection, to put it mildly.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StrawmanHasAPoint: Used and even lampshaded in-episode, in “Genesis of Good, Genesis of Evil.” During the “Power Rangers S.P.D.,” memory play-back, when everyone was making fun of the designated “Scrappy” and https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtMonkey Justin, by saying that it was all HIS fault that the “Power Rangers Turbo” team lost TWO whole Megazords and lost to wimpy Space Pirate Divatox, Justin FINALLY got fed up with it, and said: “AUGH!!!! Why does everyone ALWAYS get that WRONG?! It was T.J.'s STUPID idea, to blow up the Rescue Turbo Megazord, and let the regular Turbo Megazord get THRASHED in our battle against Goldgoyle, before FINALLY figuring out how to destroy him! So why does HE get a pass in the 'Bad Ideas Department', whereas all I'M ever looked on is with disdain and distrust?!” And this prompts Bridge to say: “I hate to say this, but STRAWMAN has a point!” Sydney agrees and says: “Yes, he does.” But this results in an https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IgnoredEpiphany when Z says: “But still, isn't it EASIER to just put all the blame on JUSTIN?! I mean, he IS the designated Scrappy or BUTT-MONKEY!”

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterDerailment: Your mileage may vary, but the whole business of StarHawk suddenly revealing herself to be into Lesbian relationships, and WORSE, attracted to the idea of being into an incestuous relationship with her sister FireHawk (which was FULL of “Squick”), and the fact that the character trait reveal came out of NOWHERE without any proper build-up, was THIS trope in spades! This led to not only one of the authors, having to do an “Authors Saving Throw,” it eventually had to lead to a https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathOfTheHypotenuse, in the case of FireHawk being “Killed Off For Real,” which FINALLY led to...

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterRerailment: Once FireHawk was gone, and therefore the “Unfortunate Implications” of StarHawk's relationship with her sister no longer needing to be in place, thanks to FireHawk's spell over her being gone, StarHawk was free to pursue whatever relationships she wanted to pursue, and return to her original characterization.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BatmanGambit: Oddly enough, a couple of the main villains in “Power Rangers Multiverse Force” seem rather fond of utilizing this. Emperor Diabolica utilized this strategy, in trying to turn Red Power Ranger Naruto evil in “The Red Flaw: Part I”. Unfortunately for him, the plan ended up as one https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoneHorriblyRight, as Naruto proved to be TOO strong for Emperor Diabolica to control! Later, in “Reborn: Part I”, Queen Beryl decided to utilize this trope in order to kill off Doctor Maniac, for going TOO far in his evil plans, by using Cybernetics to Eat the Souls of the Super Psycho Zero Girls! “Word of God” is that, Doctor Maniac WILL get better, though!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HonorableMarriageProposal: Not one, not two, but THREE of these ended up popping up in “Reborn: Part I”. Usagi to Kras'hir, Lettuce to Pinkie, and BlackHawk to StarHawk! In all three cases, they all decided to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarryForLove, with Lettuce going so far as to give Pinkie an https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnormousEngagementRing!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarriageOfConvenience: On the opposite end of the spectrum, Queen Hedrian's first two marriages, to Demon King Banriki and Emperor Diabolica, ended up being these. In both cases, the only REAL reason Queen Hedrian married these two evil tyrants, was to BOOST her own power! In actual “Power Rangers” canon, Rita and Lord Zedd's marriage was initially this at first, until it was revealed that Lord Zedd had fallen in love with Rita for real!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpiritWorld: As of “Reborn: Part I”, it's been revealed that there is SOME type of “Limbo,” where spirits of the dead can reside in. Meaning that this is the place where Baphomet, Drako, and Ace were temporarily stuck in before they were brought “Back From the Dead.” Currently, this is where FireHawk, and the now non-evil and brought back to normal Zero Girls are currently residing as well.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePowerOfTheSun: BlackHawk's new ranger power introduced in "Vision Quest Part III: Golden Sunrise", DEFINITELY qualifies for this trope! His morphing call is even "Power of the Sun!" And his personal zord, the Gold Lion Zord, has it's powers derived from the sun, and was easily able to deliver a "One Hit KO" to the Super Psycho Zero Girl Monsters!

That's it for my list of trope ideas THIS time! Enough said, true believers!

Edited August 7, 2018 by 4EverGreen
I had one more trope I needed to add.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl]

Aaaaaand here's ya boy Renegade coming back at you with more tropes! Well, as many as I can find right now, anyway.

Author's Saving Throw: The "Reborn" three-parter does this in regards to the "lesbian hex" Starhawk used as an excuse for her questionable relationship (and that is all we'll say on the matter) due to, according to Word of God, unfortunate implications. Instead, it is retconned into being a lie used by Starhawk to justify being a closeted bisexual. Speaking of...

Bi the Way: Lettuce, Blackhawk, Starhawk, Firehawk, Toby, Ebony and Usagi are all confirmed bi. The only confirmed heterosexual characters on the main team are Naruto and Pinkie. (And even then, according to Word of God AKA me, she's experimented in the past with her friends). Naturally, this leads to...

Cast Full of Gay: a downplayed example, but LGBT characters feature more prominently in the story.

Badass Adorable: Lettuce and Pinkie are the most prominent examples. And starting from her introduction in "Lettuce Manchot, PI", Anna is DEFINITELY this.

Battle Couple: a number of them, including Usagi and Kras'hir and Lettuce and Pinkie (at least until their breakup), as well as Blackhawk and Starhawk (as well as Firehawk).

Bad Future: The future Aquila arrives from one at the end of "Lettuce Manchot, PI". And ye gods, is it a bad one indeed.

Back From the Dead: Two figures from Omnus' past-Amberley Vail and Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!)-in "Lettuce Manchot, PI". When asked how this is possible, Ciaphas explains that the God-Emperor isn't as dead as they thought (see Wham Line below; this also implies this of the Emperor).

In a more plot-relevant example, Usagi does this after being dead for a good majority of "Lettuce Manchot, PI".

Childhood Marriage Promise: An innocent and played for laughs example: in "Lettuce Manchot, PI", Sally Anne )who is three) casually says she wants to marry her new friend Anna (who is twelve). Anna lets her down gently, but promises they'll marry when Sally is old enough.

Creepy Child: Anna has elements of this, and this concerns Kras'hir that she may grow up to be a serial killer.

Depraved Bisexual: Emma is this on account of her Nazi affiliations. Malir, as with all who are affiliated with Slaanesh, is this by default.

Eye Scream: Anna experiences this, as well as An Arm and A Leg when she is captured by Nazis in "Lettuce Manchot, PI". Being only 12 years old, this also falls under Adult Fear.

Fake Defector: Emma is this, managing to falsely deceive Alma into believing she's defected from the Nazis of Reich-Earth. This is to contrast her with Heinz Guderian, whose Heel-Face Turn is genuine.

Fate Worse Than Death: Omnus subjects Dark Kaiser to this after he forces the latter out of Fuhrer Saturn; being a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, Kaiser is placed in a sensory deprivation chamber and is being kept there as of "Lettuce Manchot, PI", being too weak and in excruciating pain to do anything. Naturally, this overlaps heavily with And I Must Scream due to Dark Kaiser still being alive.

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: The Night Wolves, or rather the warband known as the Sons of Curze, Subject the Rangers to this in "Reborn: Part II". Fittingly, their leader is named Zaroff.

The Mole: Malir was this in the "Reborn" arc, posing as a hyperactive Daemoness named Twitchy. This turned out to be a ruse, and she attempted to subject the Rangers to various tortures, up to and including raping Usagi.

Motor Mouth: Twitchy, the persona Malir put on in the "Reborn" arc, was this.

Mental World: The spirits that reside in Blackhawk's head manifest themselves in one, resembling a tavern.

Mind Rape: Alma does this to both Toby and Ebony, leaving them heavily traumatized.

If It's You, It's Okay: Deconstructed in "Lettuce Manchot, PI" when Undyne makes Lettuce her "exception". Turns out your partner may not be OK with these developments, especially if you've lied and said they were OK with it. This leads to Undyne and Alphys breaking up when the latter catches the former having a date with Rosie Palms to a photo of Lettuce.

Loads and Loads of Characters: ...Yes.

Noir Episode: While not a straightforward example, "Lettuce Manchot, PI" definitely has elements of this.

Polyamory: A recurring theme in season 2 is relationships, and polyamorous ones are explored in great detail; while most are positive happy and stable ones, the idea is also shown in a negative light in the case of Lettuce, who wanted an open marriage with Pinkie. The latter was...unhappy, to say the least.

Private Eye Monologue: Lettuce, appropriately enough, has these in "Lettuce Manchot, PI". Deconstructed somewhat, as they either get in trouble or are unhelpful/irrelevant.

Journey to the Center of the Mind: The Emperor, manifesting as Usagi's mother Ikuko, leads the White Ranger on one to help cope with her trauma post-rape by Malir.

Rape as Drama: Usagi, in "Reborn: Part III", is assaulted by Malir in a nightmare-inducing sequence.

Stalker Shrine: One forms the catalyst for Pinkie and Lettuce's breakup in "Lettuce Manchot, PI" and damages Lettuce's friendship with Kira.

Straight Gay: Billy, Rocky, Undyne, and Kira.

Wham Line: A relatively minor, but still important one by Ciaphas Cain:  “It turns out He isn't as dead as you would think.”

[Rebel the Wolfgirl]

A God I Am Not: Captain Retro assures Starhawk that he isn't a god at the start of "Know no Fear" when he explains his powers to her.

And I Must Scream: Ebony and Toby are subjected to this in a non-lethal form of Dropped A Bridge on Him (a culmination of events begun in the "Reborn" arc) via Alma sealing them into her "Almaverse".

The Ageless: Blackhawk is this; though he is technically ancient as a result of being associated with Roland's quest for the Tower, he appears to be eternally 16 appearance-wise.

Adapted Out: The two Dark Tower characters not to appear with Roland's ka-tet in "Know no Fear" are Eddie Dean and Oy the billy bumbler. Justified; this is another part of the loop Roland had to endure with companions coming and going each and every time it reset.

After the End: the Bad Future Aquila comes from is implied to be this. All-World, the place where Roland and his ka-tet come from, is most definitely this.

Bad Future: As mentioned before, Aquila comes from one. Though the start of "Know no Fear" expands on it, explaining what exactly went on.

Back From the Dead: Although Usagi returned to life near the end of "Lettuce Manchot, PI", "Know no Fear" begins with the other Rangers finding this out and reuniting with her. Blackhawk does this as well after his deliberate Heroic Suicide (It Makes Sense in Context, see below under "Eternal Recurrence" and "Groundhog Day Loop").

Batman Gambit: Blackhawk engineers one in "Know no Fear", deliberately killing himself so he can enter All-World and convince Roland to abandon his quest for the Dark Tower. On a larger, more cosmic and villainous scale overlapping heavily with Xanatos Gambit, the Crimson King engineered Roland's quest to be this, constantly resetting time to the point where Roland begins his quest (as seen at the end of volume seven of The Dark Tower novels).

Badass Adorable: Jake Chambers from the Dark Tower series joins the roster once he and the rest of Roland's ka-tet come to Coastal Falls in "Know no Fear".

Sassy Black Woman: Susannah is this.

Beauty is Never Tarnished: Carrie when drunk is mentioned to still look cute by Usagi in "Know no Fear".

Cliffhanger: "Know no Fear" ends on one.

Deadpan Snarker: Mentioned by Usagi in "Know no Fear" as something Aquila inherited from Blackhawk and Starhawk.

Demonic Possession: Frisk undergoes one.

Eternal Recurrence: Roland is (or was, once Blackhawk brings him to Coastal Falls) destined to constantly journey to the Dark Tower over and over again. The cycle is finally broken in "Know no Fear".

Eaten Alive: Ebony's fate (see "And I Must Scream" above) once brought to the Almaverse is to be constantly eaten by eldritch horrors, regenerating only to be eaten again in an endless loop.

Friends with Benefits: Lettuce and Patsy now have this relationship.

Generation Xerox: Aquila is essentially a composite of both her parents.

Gender Reveal: Chara from Undertale is female in the PR: MVF continuity.

Gone Horribly Right: Drako learns this the hard way in "Know no Fear".

Go Mad From the Isolation: Toby, in contrast to Ebony, is sealed in a Void Between the Worlds, all alone. His eternal punishment is essentially the result.

Good Bad Girl: Patsy and possibly Carrie are implied to be this.

Groundhog Day Loop: See "Eternal Recurrence"; the trope namer is referenced, albeit indirectly.

Killed through His Stomach: Drako, courtesy of Paxton Fettel in "Know no Fear"

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Carrie resolves to become one.

Hollywood Exorcism: Omnus performs one on Frisk in "Know no Fear".

Long-Lost Relative: Overlapping with Canon Welding, Carrie White and Chara turn out to be Alma's daughters.

Multiple Choice Past: Blackhawk has this, the result being described as "ambiguous and contradictory".

Odd Friendship: The friendship between Lettuce and Heinz Guderian can be considered this; one is not only a Power Ranger, but a talking penguin. The other is a former (albeit repentant) Nazi Old Soldier who managed to kill Hitler via poisoning.

Pocket Dimension: The "Almaverse" is this, as is wherever Captain Retro's station is.

Parental Substitute: As in Dark Tower canon, Roland to Jake. This time, however, Carrie also sees Roland as this.

Not Worth Killing: Alma decides this is Toby's fate after he gives a "Reason You Suck" Speech to Ebony; instead, he is forced to be alone for eternity.

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Paxton has this opinion of Roland's ka-tet.

Ripple-Effect Proof Memory: Blackhawk has this, being able to remember each and every part of his multiple choice past with remarkable clarity.

Sequel Episode: "Know no Fear" is this to "Fear no Evil".

She Is All Grown Up: The narration implies this of Chara in "Know no Fear". Same with Patsy from Camp Lazlo.

The Reason You Suck Speech: A few are given in "Know no Fear", most notably Usagi to Undyne and Toby to Ebony.

True Companions: What the ka-tet actually are, also extends to the Rangers.

Also, here are at the very least a couple more tropes that will define PR: MVF for the next few episodes, as well as the rest of the season.

Character Arc: Lettuce will go through a small one (which started with "Lettuce Manchot, PI" and will conclude in "Yes Destiny") focusing on his attempts to redeem himself with Pinkie and Kira.

Dramedy: "Power Rangers: Multiverse Force" has become this, though starting with the "State of Shock" two parter by 4EverGreen, elements from season 1 will be mixed in.

End of an Era: By Word of God, "Know no Fear" is this to the tail end of season 1 and the majority of season 2, which was darker and moved away from the Monster of the Week-driven plots of season 1 to a more character and dialogue-driven style (which partly brings about the "Revisiting the Roots" trope, see "Real Life Writes the Plot").

Friendly Enemy/Go-Karting With Bowser: Queen Beryl will act as this to the Rangers, especially towards Usagi; when not trying to gather energy for her youma, she'll often be hanging out with them.

Kudzu Plot: As a result of having three writers on board, the series has (unfortunately) become this.

Lighter and Softer: Somewhat. "State of Shock" will start the rest of the season onto this path, but the more vital and darker bits of season 2 (The Necrons, Nazis, Alma, etc.) still remain in the background.

Meaningful Name: The "Reborn" arc is meaningful in three ways: it focuses on Firehawk returning from the dead, a restructuring of the team that turns her and Starhawk into the Black and Blue Rangers respectively, and the transition from season 2's writing style to a combination of season 1's and 2's (Monster of the Week plots, but still with a focus on character drama rather than pure action).

Real Life Writes the Plot: The more longer episodes written by Greyknight and I ultimately ended up being too much for the server to handle.

Retcon: "State of Shock" will acknowledge this trope by name and deconstruct it, as well as "Ret Gone".

Revisiting the Roots: As a result of "Real Life Writes the Plot",(at least partly, the intention of "Reborn" to "Know no Fear" is to act as a transition into this) the rest of season 2 will be this, focusing on the team as they battle Queen Beryl and Vipera in a deliberate throwback to mid-to-late season 1's dynamic.

Soft Reboot: "State of Shock" will act as this, acknowledging season 2's past events thus far, but bring the focus back to the Multiverse Force as a team of heroes fighting weekly monsters.

Edited December 23, 2018 by Hal Moose

[4EverGreen]

I've got a few new tropes to add in that I haven't added in before. I hope you like them. /

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoLookAtTheDistraction: Almost said verbatim by Usagi to Sans in “Follow You, Follow Me.” When Usagi was having Sans be her personal butler (it makes sense in context), it was fine at first, until Sans proved to be TOO good at it (“Gone Horribly Right”), by doing things Usagi DIDN'T want him to do! Usagi tried to tell him to stop, by Sans thought that Usagi was just testing him. When Usagi tried to walk away from Sans, Sans STILL followed her! And the only thing Usagi could think of, to give herself enough time to get away from Sans and be alone, was to shout: “Look at the distraction!” Although, it actually DOES make sense as a Justified trope, since Sans IS originally from the underworld, and things that are bizarre to MOST people, are just average things for Sans. So Usagi decided to just say something generic, and hoped that Sans' mind would fill in the blank of what would be distracting (“I Need a Distraction”), enough, for Sans to look away from her! Amazingly enough, it WORKED! Not that it KEPT Sans from finding Usagi wherever she hid or whatever she tried to disguise herself as.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BizarroUniverse: The Dark, Mirror Dimension that the Rangers visit in “The Land of Confusion” two-part episode counts as this. And while the Chaos Realm could definitely fit the definition of this, “YMMV” as to whether or not it counts as its own universe, or whether its just a separate section of the “PRMVF” universe.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyIdiot: Radiguet believes that the Chaos Gods, and Emperor Diabolica himself are this. Even though he knows that they are all impressively strong in their own right, he believes that they are absolutely STUPID compared to himself, and don't use their skills or powers effectively the way he would.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DidYouActuallyBelieve: Radiguet pulled an especially HARSH one on the “Good” personality half of Alma in “Vision Quest Part I”, after she summoned Radiguet into Ace's dead body, by reviving it with Radiguet's spirit hijacking it! (“Hijacked by Ganon/Grand Theft Me”). When Alma told Radiguet she KNEW he truly loved him, Radiguet delivered the “Wham Line”, “Oh, if only somebody truly DID love you, you STUPID little fool!” And in general, whenever Radiguet is NOT performing an action that is “For the Evulz” like “Kicking the Dog”, this is his general modus operandi for dealing with anyone foolish enough or stupid enough to help him carry out his plans!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: The Power Rangers reasoning that taking out Alma with a nuclear weapon would be the best way to get rid of her, as a form of “There's No Kill Like Overkill”. However, seeing as how she survived, it clearly WASN'T a good idea in the end.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TakeAThirdOption: This is BlackHawk's general modus operandi when it comes to combat situations. Whenever faced with two sadistic options that a villain gives him, he always takes one they DON'T present, which is always BETTER for BlackHawk in the end! D.O.G., actually pulled this off in “Shock the Monkey”, by convincing Psygorn to transform D.O.G., instead of Clam or Lazlo, into an anthropomorphic creature, as part of a “Batman Gambit”. Because D.O.G., was an Eltarian Canine (“Bizarre Alien Biology”), he KNEW the transformation effect would NOT turn him evil, the way it sadly did for Raj.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeingHumanSucks: In “Vision Quest Part I”, when Pinkie was being difficult about receiving a lesson from Alma, Captain Retro threatened to have the Magi-Mother turn her into a human if she REFUSED to cooperate. Seeing as how Pinkie Pie quickly changed her tune and decided to listen to Alma, it is clear that as far as Pinkie Pie is concerned, it would royally SUCK to be a human!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TemptingFate: Back when Vipera used to work for Emperor Diabolica, she would often accuse him of always tempting fate, when he said that a plan of his would be GUARANTEED to work against the Power Rangers! You can guess how often THAT claim would end up being proven true for him; ZERO!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThisIsGonnaSuck: Word of God says, that BlackHawk had this reaction when he realized that the only way to stop the vicious cycle of Roland trying to stop the Crimson King at the Tower, was to temporarily kill himself (since for BlackHawk, “Death is Just a Slap on the Wrist”), in order to reach Roland and his friends there. Even though BlackHawk knew that he was going to come back to life, it still sucked for him, because killing himself (even if it was temporary), still HURT, like HECK!!!!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Understatement: While this is mostly used for comedy and played straight in this series, in “Genesis of Good, Genesis of Evil”, it was actually averted when Captain Retro told the Power Rangers how BAD it would be if Radiguet ever got his hands on the combined powers of all the Chaos Gods. What he said was actually the antithesis of an understatement, because Radiguet is not a guy that can be messed around with!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbhorrentAdmirer: Ebony, didn't do any favors for herself or her popularity with the other Rangers, when she broke up with BlackHawk twice, and started messing around with Toby! It got even WORSE when they did a “Face-Heel Turn”, and started working for Vipera! By the time Alma came around to punish Ebony and Toby with “Fates Worse Than Death”, Ebony had devolved to the point where she had become an abhorrent admirer, even by Toby's standards!

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotAZombie: Subverted and averted in both “Virtual Insanity” and “Weekend at Ebony's”, in that both times the Rangers faced the Zombie Imps, and in the latter case, Zombee, they instantly realized they were zombie monsters, and that the only way to destroy a zombie was to remove the head! /

I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I did researching them. Enough said! 

[Rebel the Wolfgirl]

Here are some more tropes, in no particular order.

Badass Longcoat: Blackhawk tends to wear these in season 2 now (given his characterization from "Heroes and Villains" onward borrows many tropes from spaghetti westerns, especially those by Clint Eastwood. this is very appropriate), complete with a Nice Hat. The future Aquila inherits these traits from him. Firehawk also wears these.

Badass Gay: Kira and Undyne especially.

The Cynic: A number of these have shown up in "Power Rangers: Multiverse Force" season 2; appropriate given the more dark tone.

Antiquated Linguistics: Blackhawk tends to speak like this sometimes since one of his primary languages is High Speech, the language of the gunslingers.

Ass Shove: Pinkie does this with her plasma pistol when tied up in "Reborn: Part II"; she mentions it's uncomfortable.

Cool Sword: Saba is meant to be this. Too bad Blackhawk doesn't think so (and even goes as far as peeing on it).

Drugs Are Bad: Ebony and Toby embody this. Their relationship was built on vice and sin, and it didn't lead to good things.

Double Standard - Abuse, Female on Male: Averted with Toby and Ebony; while it wasn't shown explicitly, their relationship was very toxic, with Ebony effectively manipulating and heavily implied emotionally abusing Toby with marijuana and promises of sex, culminating in them both betraying the Rangers. In his "Reason You Suck" Speech, Toby finally stands up for himself and calls her out.

Dumb Blonde: Both averted, joked about, and downplayed with Usagi. While she is far from stupid and is a very capable leader, she still has her ditzy moments from time to time. Kras'hir makes a lighthearted crack about it in "Know no Fear".

Evil is Cool: Discussed in one episode between Blackhawk and his mother while watching The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Mrs. Little roots more for the villains than the heroes. Blackhawk disagrees.

Smoking is Cool/Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Blackhawk, Starhawk, and Firehawk especially tend to smoke like chimneys, Blackhawk especially since (again) he borrows a lot of tropes from Spaghetti Westerns and Firehawk since she has a few characteristics akin to a 1940s noir character. In terms of evil smoking, you have the Nazis and Vipera.

New Age Retro Hippie: Thanks to hanging around Lazlo and his group of friends, Lettuce has elements of this now (and Word of God confirms that in the aftermath of "Lettuce Manchot, PI", he converted to Discordianism; this is an element that will be explored in his character arc).

Medium Awareness: Pinkie, of course; also implied of Captain Retro, though he likely doesn't tell the others for fear of their minds not being able to handle it.

Meta Guy: Captain Retro, again.

Ms. Fanservice: Most notably, Ebony (overlapping with Femme Fatale), Starhawk, Firehawk, and Usagi.

Heel Realization: Toby has one in "Know no Fear"; too bad it doesn't convince Alma not to seal him into her pocket dimension.

Ho Yay: Blackhawk and Roland have a moment like this when Susan-in-the former's-body kisses Roland.

Pocket Dimension: Captain Retro resides in one; Alma is a goddess of one; and hammerspaces are effectively this.

Platonic Life Partners: Omnus and Amberley are this post-return for the latter, in no small part to them having romantic partners. Blackhawk and Usagi also have elements of this.

Refusal of the Call: Blackhawk does not seem to enjoy his position as the Gold Ranger once he gets his powers from the Guardians. He would rather solve his problems by shooting them.

Textual Celebrity Resemblance: Roland, just like in The Dark Tower, is said to resemble Clint Eastwood; while Blackhawk doesn't resemble Eastwood himself, his voice and mannerisms are said by Word of God to be based on Clint's characters such as The Man With No Name.

There is No "B" in Movie: Blackhawk enjoys cheesy Spaghetti Westerns without any hint of irony. And he will fully admit it.

The Lost Lenore: Until he fell in love with Starhawk, Margarita was this for Blackhawk. Susan is this for Roland, and until she returned, Amberley Vail was this for Omnus (who by that point had moved onto Hedrian).

[4EverGreen]

It's been WAY too long, but at long last, here are some more trope examples! /

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoulJar: Radiguet uses the "Warhammer 40,000" variant, in order to beat and seal the Chaos God T'zeen'tch, in a villainous version of "Did You Just Punch Out Cthulu?", in order to gain and use his powers as his own! And by doing so, he has trapped the powers, the body, and the soul, of T'zeen'tch, inside of a Waystone! In order to prevent the Waystone from becoming an "Artifact of Doom", Radiguet fashioned himself a Glove of Power, so that he could safely USE T'zeen'tch's powers, without becoming corrupted by T'zeen'tch's soul and/or personality. If the Waystone is ever destroyed, T'zeen'tch would be gone as well.

Chronomancy: Captain Retro reveals he is capable of this, and reveals he IS able to go to the past, but only to a time period where he hasn't BEEN to already! Captain Retro reveals that the reason for this, is because you can't run the risk of meeting your PAST self, because you run the risk of breaking reality, and nullifying all of existence! Even Captain Retro doesn't like to use these powers, unless Clifford tells him that he needs to do so. For example, Captain Retro will use these powers, in case he needs to "Set Right What Once Went Wrong." An unfortunate side-effect of time traveling to the past, is that it causes time-ripple wave effects in the present/future. That leads to...

Ret-Con/Ret-Gone: Captain Retro reveals that by traveling to the past, de-powering M.O.D.O.K., and saving the lives of Ramone Fleeceley and Prince Maniac, it would in turn, manage to Ret-Con the lives of Toby and Ebony, back into existence. BUT, there would be a catch to that! Due to the time-ripple wave effects of changing the past, it would ALTER Toby's and Ebony's personalities, making Toby less arrogant, and Ebony more of a "Shrinking Violet". And with their alternate personalities, they would have NEVER been selected to have BEEN Rangers in the first place, causing a "Cessation of Existence" for the OLD personalities of Toby and Ebony, and ERASING the memories of the old Toby and Ebony, for everyone EXCEPT Captain Retro and StarHawk (since they are the ones who CAUSED the Ret-Con/Ret-Gone to happen), and Sans, since he can remember any and all alternate time-lines that happen!

Stating the Simple Solution: Strangely enough, it's StarHawk who manages to come up with an easier way to get into M.O.D.O.K.'s Prison Cell in New Tech City, in the year 2028. Instead of going through the lengthy process of infiltrating Dr. Maniac's lair in order to catch two Mecha-Clones, they simply grab the first two Mecha-Clones they can find, so they can re-program them when they need to! Captain Retro initially thinks that: "It CAN'T be that simple!" Cue a "Gilligan Cut", to Captain Retro and StarHawk entering M.O.D.O.K.'s prison, and StarHawk says: "It's THAT simple!"

Eldritch Abomination/Our Ghosts Are Different: Seems to be the case for Alma Wade. Not only is she capable of harnessing a "Downplayed" version of the powers and energies of an Eldritch Abomination, she is also a ghost, who has turned herself into (most of the time), a little girl, who is made up of psychic energy. She is also capable of "Reality Warping Powers," and uses them to FREE Justin from being held prisoner by M.O.D.O.K., in a case of "Throw the Dog a Bone".

Not So Different: During Alma's "Curb-Stomp Battle" against Dr. Maniac, Kaolite, and Villuy, while she's giving them an epic "The Reason You Suck" Speech, she does admit that Dr. Maniac and herself aren't that different from each other, and that Dr. Maniac shares many similarities with her father. The one difference she notes, is that while they both hate living creatures, Alma has some living creatures she cares very much for! Namely, Omnus and the current Power Rangers serving him, especially Usagi! Although, it's implied that because she's a ghost made up of psychic energy, she has capable of understanding emotions, in an example of "What is this thing you call, Love?"

Alive All Along/Stable Time Loop: When Captain Retro and StarHawk return to the present in 2178, they reveal that Ramone Fleeceley and Prince Maniac were alive all along, due to the Stable Time Loop that they created, in order to ENSURE that Ramone and Prince Maniac would survive, and not be KILLED back in the year 2028! Captain Retro had to take them BACK to the year 2178, in order to ENSURE that the Stable Time Loop would not fall apart for any reason whatsoever!

Shoot the Dangerous Minion/Villain Has a Point: It is revealed that Radiguet already KNOWS how dangerous and unstable Dr. Maniac has become, and how Dr. Maniac NOW wants to target Radiguet himself! Although Radiguet knows he is fully capable of handling Dr. Maniac by himself, due to a prior commitment he has made for himself, Radiguet instead, decides to give the Power Rangers full permission to "Shoot the Dangerous Minion". Although Lettuce immediately suspects that this might be playing into Radiguet's hands, Captain Retro reveals that unfortunately, the "Villain Has a Point". They can't allow Dr. Maniac to run around anymore, or else, Dr. Maniac will just continue to resort to more and more desperate ways of trying to KILL all the Rangers, and any innocent people who get in his way! So, they HAVE to Shoot the Dangerous Minion, regardless of whether Radiguet wants them to do it or not. /

That's all the tropes for today! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

Again, sorry for the long delay, but here are a few more tropes, pertaining to "PR:MVF". /

Creator Breakdown: A couple of factors contributing to the fact why it took SO long for "State of Shock: Part I" to be written, was because of this. Renegade the Unicorn got into an argument with a user (and due to "Writer Discretion", I won't go into it any further), and because of that, he felt like he needed to leave this website, and was willing to hand over writing duties to me. Unfortunately, before I could do anything, not only did Renegade decide to come back, the Corona Virus also hit. Even though it thankfully hasn't affected either of us personally, my creative drive still suffered for a bit, and it was only recently that I felt inspired enough to take up writing again, in order to help finish the series, as originally intended.

Evil Sounds Deep: Proven true for both Drako, and Radiguet. After Drako was revived thanks to the Ret-con time loop Captain Retro created in order to de-power M.O.D.O.K., and save the lives of Ramone Fleecely, Prince Maniac, Ebony, and Toby, Drako was revived with M.O.D.O.K.'s powers, and got a deeper voice. As for Radiguet, it was revealed that he's been using a VOICE box this whole time, in order to SOUND like Him from "The Powerpuff Girls". Without it, Radiguet sounds just like Adam Driver; mainly, his role as Kylo Ren from "The Star Wars" sequel trilogy.

Foil: The main reason Eris, the Goddess of Discord was introduced into this series, based on her characterization and appearance from "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy", was to provide a foil for Radiguet. Whereas Radiguet does chaotic things in order to be evil and malevolent, Eris does chaotic things, because its her odd way of caring about people, and she's good and benevolent, ESPECIALLY when compared to Radiguet! Her establishing character moment, was using the Golden Apple of Discord, in order to bring back to life, all of the Power Rangers who USED to be alive in the "Power Rangers R.P.M." dimension, at the PEAK of their powers, whereas Radiguet is prone to killing anything that crosses his path, on a mere whim. And apparently, they USED to be lovers until Radiguet found out that Eris was barren, and could NEVER produce a suitable male heir to his lineage.

Eldritch Location: According to Radiguet, Endsville, from "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy", is one of these. Probably due in no small part, to the fact that DESPITE the fact that so many weird, crazy things have happened there, things that would NORMALLY have caused most of the people and beings who LIVE there, to have either DIED, Mutated, or MUTILATED several times over, everyone who lives there ALWAYS seemingly snap back to normal, as though nothing has EVER happened to them.

Society Marches on: Noted by Queen Beryl and her cohorts, when they were watching a NEW to them, but old to us, original viewing of an "I Love Lucy" episode. Although they don't go into specifics, they do mark the fact that of the THREE channels they have access to, the broadcasting is ALL Politically Incorrect Television from the 1950's.

Jumped At The Call: True for Krash'ir, Samson, and Patsy, when the former was given a Thunder Morpher in order to morph into the Blue Thunder Ranger, and the former recruited the latter two in order to become the Red and Pink Thunder Ranger's respectively. Although Coop and D.O.G., were willing to jump at the call, they STILL had to get the blessing of Ace and ESPECIALLY Abby, before Coop and D.O.G., were allowed to become the Green and Yellow Thunder Ranger's respectively.

Author's Saving Throw: A minor one, but it still counts. In order to address the fact that in the "Super Sentai" franchise, a LOT of the Yellow Rangers are Male, but in America, a LOT of the Yellow Rangers are female, D.O.G., reveals that the Yellow Ranger spectrum is more gender neutral than ANY of the other Ranger colors that one could select from, and the reason why most Yellow Rangers don't HAVE skirts, is so that EITHER a male or a female COULD become that Ranger color if needed.

Canon Welding: Of a sort. In "State of Shock: Part I", Eris reveals who Radiguet's father is, and it happens to be Egos Satan, the Big Bad of "Super Sentai Battle Fever J". Even worse, she reveals that it is Egos Satan who is mainly responsible for WARPING Radiguet into the sadistic psychopath he is today! In a more traditional sense, Samson reveals that the events described in the "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Pink Ranger Comic", where Kimberly leads a rag-tag group of Rangers in order to stop a monster created by Goldar, is now canon to "PR:MVF".

Accidentally Correct Writing/Mythology Gag: When I first decided to bring Dr. Maniac from his original "Super Sentai Bioman" series, into the "PR:MVF", canon, I knew of the fact that in the original series, Prince Maniac was created as a Mecha-Clone, to pose as his son, but this fact wasn't revealed until AFTER the first time that Mecha-Clone was destroyed in that season. In "PR:MVF", I made it so that Prince Maniac actually WAS human, but it wasn't LATER, that I found out, that before Dr. Maniac BECAME Dr. Maniac, he actually DID have a real son, who he based Prince Maniac on! So in other words, Prince Maniac is a composite character! To further the Mythology Gag, Prince Maniac was saved, because Captain Retro used his super speed, to replace Prince Maniac with a Mecha-Clone that LOOKED like him at the LAST possible second, and did it so fast, nobody NOTICED the switch. This was done, in order to ensure a "Stable Time Loop." Secondly, Coop becoming a Kid Ranger, growing into full adult size, is a Mythology Gag to the fact that the power Coop is using, based on "Super Sentai Dairanger," that season did in fact, HAVE a Kid Ranger growing into full adult size. only it was the WHITE Ranger who did so, and not the Green Ranger. Third, the Master Morpher was utilized by Captain Retro, as a source of all the Green and Black Ranger Powers of the past. However, this was written even BEFORE watching the "Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel" episode, "Dimensions In Danger", where Tommy actually DID utilize a Master Morpher, and morphed into ALL of his previous Ranger powers! Finally, Fruit Freak is based not only on the Carmen Miranda costume that Lucy wore in the second ever episode of "I Love Lucy", it's also based on a fruit monster created by Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, in the very LAST issue of the ORIGINAL 1990's "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers" comic book series.

Berserk Button/Locked Out of the Loop: A minor case for BlackHawk, but it still counts. When BlackHawk sees Sans' eyes grow RED when he learns that Dr. Maniac has taken Alphys, hostage, it really SHOCKS BlackHawk to find out that Sans DOES have a Berserk Button! While the viewers/readers know that this is par for the course for Sans, if one should disregard his warnings and take a "Total Genocide Route", than you WILL see Sans unleash his anger on you. However, since BlackHawk NEVER took the "Total Genocide Route", and instead, went the "True Pacifist Route", the display of anger is completely unnerving to him.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Arguably averted, for a change. The Astro Mega Ship Mark II, is said to be capable of traveling at speeds 4,000 times FASTER than the Speed of Light. To put that into perspective, such a speed would get you from Earth, to the Alpha Centauri Star System, in a matter of half a day. Hardly the instantaneous travel most viewers/readers are used to, but STILL a more realistic attempt than most!

Noodle Incident: A dark variation, as far as Radiguet in concerned. In "State of Shock: Part I", he reveals that he and the Pleasure Chaos God, Sla'neesh, have some prior history together. Radiguet only refers to it, as wanting to make him PAY for all the HORRID, HORRIBLE things that Sla'neesh did to him. "Word of God", says, that the Horrid, Horrible things that Sla'neesh did to Radiguet, WILL be revealed in a later episode!

Elite Mooks: Radiguet is revealed to have these, as his soldiers of choice are the Hell Fighters, straight from the "Super Sentai Jetman" series itself! How tough are these Mooks? Radiguet knows that while the Power Rangers of Corinth have probably had to fight the Machine Empire's Cogs in the past, Radiguet describes that fighting the Hell Fighters, is like fighting the Cogs on STEROIDS, and he HAS a few thousand of them at his disposal!

Not Worth Redemption: It's very telling when Captain Retro, of ALL characters, decides that Dr. Maniac is no longer a man, but a "Complete Monster". He even states that, "Once you've gone THAT far, there's almost NO coming back from it". Sans completely agrees on that front, and is willing to attack Dr. Maniac and make him PAY for all his crimes, even if it personally costs Sans everything in the process! /

That's all the tropes I can think of for now! I'll see you next time!

[4EverGreen]

A few more tropes, utilized within the the episodes of "Power Rangers Multiverse Force". /

Achievements in Ignorance: May or may not be the case for Samson, who, despite only having a little bit of Aura training with Adam, and no previous Ranger experience whatsoever, Samson still managed to EASILY power up his fist with a fire punch, and summon TWO Ranger weapons, which none of the other Thunder Rangers were able to do. Samson even makes a Lampshade Hanging of this, as he swears that he's not even trying!

Ripple Effect-Proof Memory: Downplayed in Krash'ir's case. While she can STILL remember everything she PERSONALLY did BEFORE Captain Retro's ret-con, she can't remember who it WAS that she replaced (Toby), the one time she temporarily had to become a Power Ranger before. Justified for Captain Retro and StarHawk, since they caused the ret-con, and also one of Sans' unique abilities, due to his nature of having had to live THROUGH multiple time-lines in the underground.

Dungeon Bypass: This seems to be a favorite tactic of StarHawk's to employ, whenever she has the ability to. Instead of taking a long, complicated maneuver in order to accomplish something, she usually "States the Simple Solution", on how to quickly solve or take care of a problem. It's because of this, that StarHawk and Billy, were the ONLY Rangers, to not set off any traps in Dr. Maniac's fortress.

Technology Marches On: Noted by several of the Power Rangers, during their fights against Dr. Maniac's monsters, as they continuously make a Lampshade Hanging, on how Dr. Maniac's creations, looks like something that was made in 1985!

Resurrected For a Job: Dr. Maniac did this for Scorpina. He went to the site where she fell in battle, gathered her D.N.A., and eventually revived her for the purpose of doing battle against Tommy! Scorpina agreed to help Dr. Maniac "On One Condition", that after she finished her battle against Tommy, regardless of whether she won or lost, she would be sent back in time to 1999, to train under Lokar, in order to become a better and MORE powerful sorceress, than Rita Repulsa could have EVER hoped to become! This also ends up setting up a "Continuity Connection", with the "Power Rangers" graphic novel, "Soul of the Dragon".

Revenge By Proxy: The main reason Scorpina WANTS to become a powerful sorceress, is so that she can get REVENGE by Tommy, by targeting his wife Kat, and his son, J.J.; she even outright states the trope by name, as the reason WHY she wants to get revenge on him, by targeting ANYONE who is close TO him!

Nothing Is Scarier: One of Dr. Maniac's monsters, Transparent Tank, tried to invoke this, by being invisible to the Power Rangers attacks. What he didn't count on, was the fact that Lettuce had received Aura Training from Adam, and utilized to produce a blast of Green energy color, in order to make the invisible monster, visible! Also doubles as a "Chekhov's Skill."

Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?: Or, in Captain Retro's case, bees. It seems that the one thing in the Multiverse that Captain Retro is scared of, more than anything else, are bees. It certainly didn't help that they were Dr. Maniac's evil robot drone bees, who were PROGRAMMED to attack him! Thankfully, he had Sans with him, to take care of them!

More Dakka/That One Boss: When Sans is facing off against an enemy, who has gone down a "True Genocide Route", his chief ability of choice, is to FIRE a BUNCH of energy blasts at his opponent, making it next to IMPOSSIBLE for them to DODGE the attacks, let alone survive it. It is for this reason, that Captain Retro believes Chara, when she says that Sans IS That One Boss.

I Owe Him My Life/My Master, Right or Wrong: It is revealed that up until "State of Shock: Part II", this was the reason Bionic Gorilla, soon revealed to be Windsor T. Gorilla, from "My Gym Partner's a Monkey", sided with Dr. Maniac initially. After being saved after a horrific accident, Windsor was convinced that he owed Dr. Maniac a life debt, and decided to side with him, whatever Dr. Maniac decided to do. Captain Retro reveals that Windsor CAN'T trust Dr. Maniac, and once Dr. Maniac gets what HE wants, he WILL dispose of Windsor, to! And neither Captain Retro or Windsor have long to wait, for Captain Retro to be proven right...

You've Outlived Your Usefulness/Kill Em' All: When Dr. Maniac grows IMPATIENT of waiting for Windsor to make a move AGAINST Captain Retro and Sans, Dr. Maniac decides to trigger the room's Kill Sat ability, by LITERALLY pushing a button that is labelled, "Kill Them All". Thankfully for Windsor, Captain Retro was able to utilize a "Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me" (and him) tactic, which protects them all from Dr. Maniac's machine gun attacks! When Windsor sees that Dr. Maniac's attacks were even aimed at WINDSOR, he realizes that Dr. Maniac is willing to have ANYBODY killed, just to have the Power Rangers killed!

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Zig-zagged with Dr. Maniac. During the first time he set up a password system, in "Shock the Monkey", even though Lettuce utilized an "Open Says Me", against the door, Dr. Maniac reveals that the password was "42-42-42", which is not necessary a number combination that one would just guess for a password combination. However, in "State of Shock: Part II", when the Rangers FINALLY finished all of Dr. Maniac's monsters, the combined combination turned out to be "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8", which Lettuce declares as the STUPIDEST combination he has ever heard in his life, and the kind of combination an IDIOT would have on his luggage!

Strange Minds Think Alike/Not Really Paying Attention, Were You?: As it turns out, Naruto wasn't listening to Lettuce's comment, and when he asks Sans to repeat the combination, Naruto reveals that he's got the SAME combination on HIS luggage, which also doubles as a "Stealth Gag". Naruto then immediately goes into a "Blatant Lies" territory, when the next thing he says, is that for a COMPLETELY unrelated reason, somebody needs to remind Naruto to CHANGE the combination on his luggage!

Shout-Out: In "State of Shock: Part II", Lettuce manages to channel Bugs Bunny, when he fights Transparent Tank. When Transparent Tank tells Lettuce and Adam, that they are finished, Lettuce replies: "You don't know us very well, do you?", which is something Bugs often says. And after making Transparent Tank visible, he says: "You're despicable", to which Lettuce replies: "Ain't I a stinker?" Also, Brain Beast is a shout-out to Andross' true form from "Star Fox 64", Psycho Puppet is an evil version of Pinocchio, there's a dialogue shout-out to "Spaceballs", the inner sanctum of Dr. Maniac's lair is a shout-out to the first and second meeting with the Wizard, in the 1939 movie, "The Wizard of Oz". After Captain Retro reveals the REAL Dr. Maniac, he even shouts: "Pay no attention to that Man Behind the Curtain". And finally, when Dr. Maniac FINALLY decides that "The Gloves Are Off", and goes "One-Winged Angel", he forces Mettaton Exe., to undergo a "Fusion Dance" with him, and morphs into a being similar to Tetsuo's "Eldritch Abomination" form, from the 1987 anime movie "Akira"; and when Dr. Maniac is finished, his body is rendered in 1995 C.G.I., very similar to Ivan Ooze's final form from the 1995 movie version of "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: The Movie".

Let Us Never Speak Of This Again: A minor case, in "State of Shock: Part I". Abby states to Ace, Coop, D.O.G., and Krash'ir, that she personally feels that while BlackHawk MAY be the strong of Abby's kids, Coop is DEFINITELY the SMARTER one of her kids. She then states to them that NONE of them are to EVER tell BlackHawk that Abby EVER said that about him. In a more, major case, when Captain Retro reveals that BlackHawk probably fought through a Beta Version of the underground (due to NOT encountering Mettaton Exe., before), he was probably in a version that STILL had Gaster in it! Alphys says that everyone in the Underground AGREED to never speak of his name again, for some unknown reason, thus, making Gaster an "Un-person".

Rhetorical Question Blunder: After having survived all of Dr. Maniac's traps and monsters, and unimpressed by Dr. Maniac's attempt to try to trick them into surrendering, Captain Retro reveals that he expected MORE from Dr. Maniac, but his attempts were just sad. Captain Retro than asks: "HOW stupid do you think we are?!" To which, Dr. Maniac replies: "You don't REALLY want me to answer that one, do you, you PEONS?!"

Mistreatment Induced Betrayal/Backstab Backfire: The reason Windsor T. Gorilla officially decided to pull a "Heel-Face Turn", and side with the Power Rangers, after Captain Retro saved his life; is not only due to the fact that Windsor could PLAINLY see that Dr. Maniac was WILLING to kill Windsor if it ALSO meant killing the Power Rangers, it's the fact that Captain Retro decided to RELEASE Windsor from having a life debt to ANYBODY, and allowed Windsor to make his OWN choices! So Windsor decided to use his bionic abilities, to fire back at Dr. Maniac, as Windsor hacked into Dr. Maniac's main computer system, and shut down ALL of Dr. Maniac's traps, that he had planned for the Rangers!

Sadistic Choice: Dr. Maniac presents the Power Rangers with a TRULY horrific choice, either they DESTROY Mettaton, or, if they don't do ANYTHING or do the WRONG thing, he WILL have Alphys KILLED, and they CAN'T "Mercy" their way through Mettaton, since all of his original programming was removed! Slightly mitigated by the fact that Alphys reveals that she DOES have a Hard-Drive back-up of Mettaton's original programming still at home, and she can re-build Mettaton exactly the way he was before. Even Sans decides that the Rangers HAVE no choice, that they HAVE to fight Mettaton.

Rapid Fire "NO!"/Villainous Breakdown: Dr. Maniac suffers through a REALLY major, epic breakdown, after the Power Rangers beat Mettaton Exe. (after Captain Retro exploits Mettaton Exe.'s only weakness), Dr. Maniac shouts "NO!", a bunch of times, and finally decides that the time has come for HIM, to pull a "Let's Get Dangerous", by forcibly injecting his OWN body, with FIVE vials of PURE concentrated, Super Psycho serum! The vials are even LABELLED as: "WARNING: DO NOT USE UNLESS THERE IS REALLY, REALLY, NO ALTERNATIVE!!!!"

Body Horror: To say that the forced "Fusion Dance" between Dr. Maniac and Mettaton Exe., was horrific, would be putting it MILDLY, to say the least! Pinkie even says that SOMEBODY should call for a Plastic Surgeon!

The Voice of the Legion: During Dr. Maniac's and Mettaton Exe.'s forced "Fusion Dance", Dr. Maniac's voice morphs into being The Voice of the Legion, and sounds really DEEP and menacing, to boot! /

That's all the tropes I can think of, this time! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

Sorry for the delay in posting more tropes! It's time to fix this with this installment of Tropes used on "PR:MVF"! /

And Now For Something Completely Different: "Yes, Destiny' is unique in the fact that not only is it the first episode to be a joint written effort between 4EverGreen AND somebody else, but the fact that it was co-written with Renegade the Unicorn! The reason why this was so, is so it could combine the two best traits of the two different writers, 4EverGreen's character introductions, motivational starters, and Renegade's fight scenes! Also, this is the first episode to take place on Valentine's Day, a feat which no other "PR:MVF" episode has ever done before, and the fact that it introduced so many different horror-based characters into the "PR:MVF" mythos!

Didn't Think This Through/Reality Ensues: Both of these tropes hit Dr. Maniac HARD in the final part of "State Of Shock: Part III". First off, he shouldn't have ASSUMED that his creations would be able to HANDLE the SEVEN different MEGAZORDS, even though they were all kept APART from each other! Secondly, he shouldn't have ASSUMED that his mutated body would be able to survive EVERYTHING that SEVEN Megazords could THROW at him, even AFTER he injected his OWN body with FIVE Super Psyco serums! Of course, this was later revealed to be a "Batman Gambit" and a "My Death Is Only The Beginning" on Dr. Maniac's part. He was actually PLANNING for the Power Rangers to destroy his MORTAL body! His brain SURVIVED, and was later put into a completely MECHANIZED version of his original human body, capable of storing and harnessing energy his mortal body could never dream of! Deliberately invoking "Came Back Strong" on Dr. Maniac's part.

What Happened To The Mouse?: Averted with Bash Buzzard and Smash Swallow. After having not been seen since after "Follow You, Follow Me", it might have been thought that they might have suffered from "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome", but as it turns out, they had just been "Out Of Focus", due to the fact that nothing of great interest had happened to them, as they had made no progress, towards revealing the secret identities, of the Power Rangers.

Cutting Off The Branches: This was done, in regards to Scrappy-Doo's fate, between his appearance with the Scooby-Doo gang after "The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo", and his appearance in "Yes, Destiny". First off, it was revealed that the live-action, 2002 movie of "Scooby-Doo" was non-canon, as Scrappy-Doo left Earth in an experimental rocket designed by Velma, and due to accidentally getting knocked into a Wormhole, didn't arrive on the Planet Onyx until late in the year 2178, even though only a few minutes passed from Scrappy-Doo's perspective. He also suffered from "Reality Ensues", as his punches and kicks didn't do diddly squat against real monsters (justified, due to Scrappy-Doo being only 2 feet, four inches high, and having no muscular mass to speak of), was tossed into a "Kangaroo Court" on trumped-up, phony charges, and sentenced to jail. The only reason he got out, was because the Rat Guardian, Templeton, vouched for his release, and offered to let Scrappy-Doo become his new avatar, in exchange for teaching Scrappy-Doo, how to be a true hero. When he revealed all of this to Captain Retro, he also revealed, that most of the actions of the Scooby-Doo gang, in regards to Scrappy-Doo, were actually a case of a...

"Could've Avoided This" Plot: It turns out, all the shenanigans that Scrappy-Doo went through with the Scooby-Doo gang, have been ret-conned to be this! If the Scooby-Doo gang would've just taken the TIME to EXPLAIN to Scrappy-Doo that the Scooby-Doo gang couldn't know for a FACT that they WEREN'T chasing down real monsters, unless they could capture them, and prove that they weren't, and EXPLAIN to Scrappy-Doo that he wasn't STRONG enough to fight them, even if they WEREN'T monsters, Scrappy-Doo would've LISTENED, and would've held back. He also admits that it might have been PARTIALLY his fault that they didn't, because he felt like he might have come on a little too strong, but that was only BECAUSE he wanted to impress Scooby-Doo so much! The reason Captain Retro sent him to live with D.O.G., and Coop, was so they could properly train Scrappy-Doo to be a proper fighter, and build up his muscle mass, so as to avoid those types of situations in the future.

Bowderlization: A rare, justified, "In-Universe" example. Not for the Power Rangers themselves, but in regards to Scrappy-Doo and the Scooby gang. According to Scrappy-Doo, the REAL adventures that the Scooby gang had to go through, in trying to find and capture ALL thirteen ghosts during "The 13 Ghosts Of Scooby-Doo", were MUCH scarier than what the animated depiction painted it as. It was REALLY horrifying for ALL involved, with Scrappy-Doo going so far as to basically say, "Take My WORD For It". And the real reason we never saw Scrappy-Doo helping the Scooby gang find the LAST of the Thirteen Ghosts, was that Scrappy basically pulled a "Screw This, I'm Out Of Here", and volunteered to be the test subject for Velma's experimental rocket, in order to SAVE what little sanity he had left by that point!

Brick Joke: A dark variation, in regards to Dr. Maniac. Ever since Dr. Maniac first made his debut, he would often rant and rave, about wanting the "Mulan Szechaun McNugget Sauce". This was justified at first, due to Dr. Maniac actually being a version of Rick Sanchez, as a purely EVIL Rick, who even the Council of Ricks, didn't WANT to deal with! Although later, when Dr. Maniac ordered his minions to save his brain, and put it into a completely mechanical body, what they ended up using as a synthetic source of blood and/or fuel for his cybernetic body, ended up BEING, "Mulan Szechaun McNugget Sauce!"

Self-Depreciation: Naruto, of ALL characters, does this, in regards to his OWN characterization, in "Yes, Destiny". When he starts complaining about his status, Coop offers to "Stating the Simple Solution", by getting therapy like BlackHawk did. Naruto's response is: "Look. I only have ONE defining characteristic trait, in regards to wanting to be better than BlackHawk. Now, it is a STUPID characteristic, but I'M GOING TO USE IT!!!!"

She's All Grown Up: The Grimwood Girls from "Scooby-Doo And The Ghoul School, Lydia Deetz from "Beetlejuice", and Wednesday Addams from "The Addams Family", are now all at least 18 years of age, and all living at the same castle residence, under the residential abode of Dr. Frank N. Furter, as are Toby and Ebony.

Berserk Button: Never, EVER mess with Lydia Deetz, especially while Beetlejuice is around! Thankfully, Naruto quickly GETS the hint!

Who Wants To Live Forever?: Captain Retro sure doesn't. Not only because he finds the prospect impossible, but he also doesn't WANT to, even if it were! Besides, he's fallen in love with a girlfriend, and doesn't want to invoke a "May-December Romance", by remaining young while she grows old, which is why he's hoping that someday, he can pass on the status of the Dog Guardian, to Scrappy-Doo.

A Woman Scorned: The whole reason for Queen Beryl sending the Love Bug into Coastal Falls, was because she had been scorned by her first love, 5,000 years ago, the first time the Sailor Scouts beat her in battle. Since SHE can't be happy, she doesn't WANT anybody else, to be truly happy EITHER, which is why she has the Love Bug created, in order to FORCE other people to fall in love with each other, "For the Evulz".

Villains Out Shopping: Or rather, having a day off. Benzite and Zolzite, were given the day off on Valentines Day, in order to have a day to themselves. Why they did enjoy their time off, they certainly DIDN'T like to having to hear people sing "Happy Birthday", EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW! /

That's all the tropes I can think up for this time! I'll see you the next time some tropes can be made! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

Again, it's been a while, but here is some more tropes for "Power Rangers Multiverse Force". /

"Bad", Bad Acting: Although not stated implicitly, Usagi's fellow Power Rangers, did think that Usagi's 'Acting', to get Sans to save her from a staged predicament in "Follow You, Follow Me", ("It Makes Sense In Context"), was REALLY bad! Of course, it quickly turned into a case of having to "Live Up To The Lie", when Gargoyle Falcon interfered, forcing Sans to have to SAVE Usagi from a REAL predicament, instead of a staged one! Averted in Toby's case in "The Fight Before Christmas", as despite only having previous acting experience as a tree, in a play of "A Christmas Carol", he showed that "He Really Can Act".

Brutal Honesty: Pops up in "Power Rangers Multiverse Force" from time to time. Most recently in, "No Train, No Gain". First, Omnus honestly ADMITTED to having taught the Power Rangers absolutely NOTHING in terms of their own fighting skills and fighting techniques. Secondly, Captain Retro "Reconstructed", why it is that "Good Is Not Soft", by pointing out the fact that the Thunder Rangers should NEVER expect the Bad Guys to fight fairly, because they WON'T, and quickly points out why Naruto's clone ju-jitsu technique, is a perfect example of "Awesome, But Impractical". First off, the technique conjures up 1,000 Naruto clones, which means 2,000 eyes, which makes ALL the Naruto clones 1,000 times more susceptible to being blinded by blinding techniques. Secondly, Captain Retro points out that by Naruto dividing himself 1,000 times, he also divided his OWN strength 1,000 times equally, into himself and all of his clones. So instead of one strong fighter, he ended up with one very weak army!

I Know "Mortal Kombat": Well, "Dragonball Z" in this case, but it counts. Captain Retro has learned his ability to use the Kamehameha attack, his ability to fly, detect Ki Energy, and the Solar Flare technique, all from watching episodes of "Dragonball Z".

Battle In The Center of The Mind: While training with Captain Retro, Naruto is suddenly taken away from the battle, and transported into a mysterious forest, with an eight-tailed Kitsune watching him. While it's not stated implicitly, "Word Of God" says that the Kitsune froze time for Naruto and Captain Retro, so that the Kitsune could enter Naruto's mind, and thus make this trope possible. In this case, Naruto had to fight off his own inner darkness, in order to purify his own soul. The inner darkness took form in Naruto's mind, as Naruto's former friend/turned enemy Obito. Which in this case, is a case of...

Villain Of Another Story: While the long history between Obito and Naruto is not implicitly stated during the episode of "No Train, No Gain", it's hinted at that there's a lot of bad blood between them, due to the fact that Obito betrayed Naruto, betrayed Sasuke, and betrayed the Hokage School. However, since the details aren't elaborated upon here, the fight between Naruto and the Obito image, clearly makes Obito into this trope.

Time To Unlock More True Potential: The training with Captain Retro, for Naruto, Scrappy-Doo, and the Thunder Rangers, was implicitly this trope! First off, Captain Retro, due to his ability to detect Ki Energy, in a case of "Awesomeness By Analysis", was able to figure out the energy techniques and levels of where everybody truly was; and therefore, was able to figure out just who the best sparring partners each of them should have. In Naruto's case, it paid off big time in "No Train, No Gain", as Naruto's Spirit Animal, an Eight-tailed Kitsune, ended up bonding with Naruto, and allowed Naruto to unlock a brand new Battlizer form for his Power Ranger power, letting him be on the same level as Usagi and BlackHawk! And surprisingly enough, the idea of Naruto having to purify his own soul within his mind, is a case of...

Older Than They Think/Accidentally Correct Writing: It wasn't found out until after the episode of "No Train, No Gain" was written, but the idea of Naruto having a "Battle In The Center Of The Mind", to purify his own soul, had actually BEEN done before, in Naruto's own ACTUAL "Naruto" magna, in one of it's final chapters. Naruto had to fight off the evil within his own mind, in order to banish the evil ten-tailed fox from his body, once and for all! While the ten-tailed fox isn't mentioned within the episode itself, the fact that Naruto's evil energy, manifested itself into the "Big Bad" of "Naruto"; namely Obito, clearly demonstrates just how much inner evil has been vanquished from within Naruto!

Strong, But Unskilled: Both Naruto and Drako found this out the hard way, in "No Train, No Gain". Naruto found out that the techniques he was fond of using in his own magna, weren't going to cut it against Captain Retro (and by extension, wouldn't cut it against the enemies he would have to fight in the future), as Captain Retro was either able to easily "No-Sell" his fighting techniques, or could easily spot the flaws within his "Awesome, But Impractical" techniques. With the help of Naruto's spirit animal, Naruto was able to overcome his short-comings, and use a new skill to finish off the monster of the week, Runaway Train. Because Runaway Train was created by Drako, it made Drako realize that while he now has the POWER of M.O.D.O.K., gifted to him by T'zeen'tch, he is absolutely unskilled in using it, due to the fact that Runaway Train was able to be beaten so easily by Naruto and the Thunder Rangers. He immediately accepts responsibility for the loss, and vows to gain mastery of his new powers someday.

Bitch In Sheep's Clothing: While not stated implicitly, it's clear that Captain Retro thinks that FireHawk is this. First off, the one thing he tells FireHawk BEFORE leaving with Naruto, Scrappy-Doo, and the Thunder Rangers, is to "Stay Out Of Trouble". To which FireHawk replied, "No Promises". Secondly, when Naruto thanks Captain Retro for helping with all the training in "No Train, No Gain", Captain Retro ominously replies: "I'm glad you think so! Just remember that sense of optimism for when YOU find out the AWFUL truth about FireHawk!" But Captain Retro leaves before Naruto can get any clarification on the matter. Although, given that FireHawk was directly within EARSHOT when Captain Retro said it, she probably just would've rebuked any clarification anyways. Whether Captain Retro turns out to be right or not, remains to be seen. /

That's my writing techniques for this time! Enough said, true believers! /

Hopefully, now that I have control over this series, maybe tropes will be written more often! Anyways, here are some more for you! /

The Bus Came Back: In a totally unexpected case, this happened for former one-shot monster, General Krush! In this case, he deliberately exploited Ahzek utilizing Chaos Realm powers, as a portal to allow himself to hijack General Krush's body, steal his mortal life-force, and transfer Ahzek's mortal life-force into his own body, severing his ties to the Chaos Realm, and making it so he can't be sealed back into the Chaos Realm again! However, instead of engaging in a fight right then and there, he opts for a...

We Will Meet Again: A justified one on General Krush's part. In the first place, he didn't feel like fighting the Power Rangers right than and there. Secondly, he was pretty sure that even if he WAS, he wouldn't have full access to his powers, due to having just acquired a mortal life-force from Ahzek, so he instead pulls a "Villain, Exit Stage Left", and vows to fight the Power Rangers another day.

What Happened To The Mouse?: Taken to RIDICULOUS extremes in "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode". Despite Queen Beryl having ALWAYS been in love with Abaddon before, she seems to have completely forgotten him with the appearance of Ahzek. But after Ahzek gets killed, Abaddon comes back, having revealed to have been investigating the Chaos Realm. Zolsite even LAMPSHADES this by saying: "Oh yeah. The guy we conveniently forgot about until just now has come back." Ironically, this happens to Ahzek himself as Queen Beryl COMPLETELY forgets about Ahzek's demise, despite "Inelegant Blubbering" over him just moments earlier, and proceeds to making carnal love with Abaddon!

The Prophecy: It's revealed in "The Obligatory Food Pyramid", that the reason Radiguet is making all his moves, is because of a prophecy passed down by Aslan himself, saying that the Chaos Realm WILL come to an end in the year that is 20 years before the start of the 23rd century, with next year (in-story) being that year! In other words, Radiguet is trying to ensure a "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy," by making it come to pass.

The Diet Episode: Inevitable in "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode". It is unique, that it wasn't ENTIRELY Lettuce's fault, but the Love Bug Viruses that infested him in "Yes, Destiny!" However, he doesn't get off the hook, as it WAS his hubris that allowed for him to get so fat, and necessitating a need to go on a diet in the first place!

Reality Ensues: Downplayed in "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode", but it counts. Despite going through an exercise montage for 50 minutes, while it DOES slim down Lettuce's body weight and mass considerably, it doesn't get him COMPLETELY back to normal weight, as Scrappy-Doo reminds him that he's only BEEN exercising for 50 minutes! Presumably, because it WAS Adam's gym (a former Power Ranger), Lettuce got much faster results than usual. Also, despite the Interbody Ship supposedly being able to stay shrunk for a full hour, Coop STILL insists that they make their mission only 55 minutes, and they make it out with not even one minute to spare for the fifty-five minutes! When asked why Coop wanted to get them out earlier than a full hour, Coop in the middle of stating his reason, the Interbody Ship, and the Thunder Rangers, grow back to normal size, proving that you should ALWAYS assume that you have less time than what it actually SAYS you have!

Evil Is NOT a TOY: Boy, did Ahzek find this out the HARD way! Despite INSISTING that he was only going to utilize Chaos Realm powers enough so that it would ONLY double the energy needed for Queen Metalia's revival, after fighting with the Power Rangers, and having his hands broken, Ahzek finds himself unable to resist General Krush's unexpected return, and is killed for his careless toying with the Chaos Realm powers!

Screw This, I'm Out Of Here: Implied to be the reason why General Krush TOOK the opportunity to steal Ahzek's mortal life-force, in order for General Krush's body to become mortal, and thus NOT being able to be sealed back to the Chaos Realm. Apparently, not only had General Krush grown tired of having to act on the whims of the Blood God, he is fully aware that the Chaos Realm is going to come to an end in just a year, so he took the opportunity to get out of the Chaos Realm while he still could.

Gender Confusion: Part of the running gag with Marilyn Manson. When Scrappy-Doo first describes the singer, Scrappy can't tell if Marilyn is a man, a woman, or even HUMAN! (For the record, he's a guy). This is alleviated as soon as Marilyn makes his appearance, and they address him with male pronouns.

At Least I Admit It: In the episode stinger, when Scrappy-Doo confronts Captain Retro, Captain Retro tells Scrappy, that the former NEVER said he was perfect, but at least he ADMITS that he's not perfect! He also tells Scrappy in no uncertain terms, that they are to "Let Us Never Speak Of This Again" to Omnus or anyone else. Scrappy makes no promises.

I'm Standing Right Here!: When FireHawk is "Leaning On the Fourth Wall", and complaining about the fact of how LITTLE a role she played in "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode", she complains that even the Thunder Rangers had more to do than SHE did, and they're just the Auxiliary Rangers! Samson states that they're right THERE and can HEAR every single word she is saying! FireHawk than adds that she DOESN'T have to repeat herself!

Why Would Anybody Take Him Back?: Justified, in regards to General Krush, when he goes to offer his services to Vipera. The last time Vipera et al., had to deal with him, he went crazy, trashed their base, humiliated Baphomet, and forced Drako to work with the Power Rangers (in a case of "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking"). General Krush says that the only reason he did that, was basically a version of "Gollum Made Me Do It". The Blood God was controlling him, so General Krush had no control of his actions, which is one of the reasons General Krush HAD to take a mortal's life-force (Ahzek's), for himself, in order to sever his ties to the Blood God. General Krush admits that this will mean his healing factor will be significantly reduced, but feels that the advantage of NOT having to answer to the Blood God, FAR outweighs the drawback. /

That's it for these tropes for now. Enough said, for now!

I'm AMAZED that it hasn't been over a month since I've LAST been here! In any case, time to list some more tropes! /

And Now For Something Completely Different: The opening of "Back To The 1980's Part I" evokes this. After all, it focuses on a group of five people who seem to be completely unrelated to the Power Rangers. However, the Cold Open was necessary to show the formation of a team of Power Rangers, who will be NECESSARY for the current Power Rangers team to learn about, as they are HEADED back for that time!

Take Our Word For It!: Due to not being present for the events at the end of Season One of "Power Rangers Multiverse Force", the Thunder Rangers questioned whether or not the Chaos Realm really IS as terrible as the Power Rangers say that it is, or that Usagi and Krash'ir were forced to do something THAT terrible! This is the only response they get for their questions! Fortunately, they all accept it as a valid answer.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Bound to happen, as the standards of the late 1970's through the 1980's were sadly, NOT as good as they are now! Diane Martin, to her credit, is at LEAST aware that "Society Marches On", and prepares Dan to do well, so that people like him, will be able to do BETTER in the future!

I Was Quite The Looker: Diane Martin, during the opening of "Back To The 1980's Part I". When the Power Rangers meet her, she's now close to pushing 64, but StarHawk, having seen some of her historical missions via the Viewing Globe, says that she's STILL very beautiful for someone of her age.

Women Are Wiser: Seems to be the case, at least for the past team of Power Rangers represented by Diane Martin. Diane Martin is a rich multi-millionaire heiress who frequents Studio 54, while Shiro is the resident genius. Ken and Dash Drew seem to DELIBERATELY check off every single stereotype for being Russian and French respectively! Dan Masao gets a pass because he just MOVED from Japan recently, and only STARTED learning English! Dan and Dash DO get better at NOT being stereotypical once they're older, as "Character Development".

Locked Out Of The Loop: Unfortunately, due to the times of the late 1970's and the 1980's, the American government decided that the world was NOT ready to learn about alien threats, or about a team of Power Rangers protecting Earth from them, which is why they KEPT the missions of Diane Martin et al, a secret from the public! At least the current team of Power Rangers know about their exploits!

Ethnicity Lift/Gender Flip: Happened, due to changing the source of "Super Sentai Battle Fever J", into a more Americanized version of "Power Rangers". While all the Power Rangers of that time (save for Dash Drew) have ROUGHLY the same names, Diane Martin is now a white-skinned American, Dash Drew is a White French Man, the original Battle Russia was a White Russian Male, and Shiro was a dark-skinned WOMAN from Kenya! Only Dan Masao, Maria, and Jim, kept their original ethnicity and gender, being Japanese.

Related In the Adaptation: A three-fer! It's revealed that sometime between Diane Martin's team disbanding and the present day, Diane Martin and Dash Drew married, and had a child. That child grew up to be Sydney Drew of the "Power Rangers SPD". Sadly, it was revealed that Diane Martin and Dash divorced sometime in the past, and Dash reluctantly had to let Diane and Sydney, keep their last names.

Art Shift: As much as there CAN be one in a literature! For the sake of a JOKE at Eris' expense, when Radiguet reveals that he plans to have a loyal monster of his give Eris back her old face, a LITERAL picture depiction of her old face is shown after said explanation, causing Eris to scream: "NOOO!!!! Where did you GET that?!" (Although to be fair, said picture seems to be a case of "Hollywood Homely", as her old face doesn't look THAT bad).

Rosseau Was Right/Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Happened to Radiguet, of ALL characters! While by Radiguet was no MEANS a good day even DURING his as of yet mostly obscured "Super Sentai Jetman" days, Radiguet DID love his mother Emperess Jooza, and HATED the fact that he HAD to kill her after she went CRAZY and tried to kill him! Radiguet even BEGGED Sla'neesh to even bring back a brainwashed version of his mother back to life, only for Sla'neesh to string him along for 300 days, using him as his own SICK, depraved plaything! Needless to say, once Radiguet finds out that it was SLA'NEESH's idea to brainwash his mother against him, it sets off Radiguet's "Berserk Button"!

Even Evil Has Standards: Once again, Radiguet, of ALL characters, has that! Sure, Radiguet may be an evil, galactic conqueror, but he absolutely ABHORS the fact that Sla'neesh did all MATTER of unspeakable things to him, AND the depraved thing he forced Usagi and Krash'ir to do together! Needless to say, Radiguet feels the need to MURDER all of Sla'neesh's followers save for Eris, as it's THE only way that Radiguet will be able to hold onto any semblance of sanity! As Sla'neesh finds out the hard way, Radiguet's desire is...

Not Hyperbole: When Radiguet SAYS that he NEEDS to murder all of Sla'neesh's followers , it's not so much that Sla'neesh thinks its a case of "Like You Would REALLY Do It", Sla'neesh thinks that Radiguet simply can't. But Radiguet BRUTALLY deconstructs "Orcus On His Throne" and "Hard Work Hardly Works", as Radiguet powers up a GIGANTIC Death Ball, and DOES destroy all of Sla'neesh's followers except for Eris! Sla'neesh even lampshades this by saying: "Wow, I didn't think you could actually DO it!"

No Holds Down Beatdown/And This Is For...!: Once Radiguet forces Sla'neesh into a mortal body in order to spare Eris' beauty, Radiguet proceeds to give Sla'neesh an old-fashioned one of these, by BRUTALLY punching Sla'neesh every time Radiguet mentions one of the "Long Laundry List Of Crimes" atrocities Sla'neesh has committed in the past! For Tranza, it's LITERALLY a case of "Pass The Popcorn".

Gone Horribly Right: Sla'neesh realizes ALL too late that this is what it's actions have caused Radiguet to become. Even stating, "After the untimely death of Dark Spectre, Khorne and I dreamed of creating the most POWERFUL villain in the universe...AND we succeeded!

No Kill Like OverKill: This was the ultimate fate that Radiguet gave to Sla'neesh, as Radiguet decides to unleash "More Dakka" on Sla'neesh, and SHOOTS Sla'neesh a total of 212 times (two 100 bullet machine guns, and two six bullet shotguns), and even THROWS Sla'neesh's body into a nearby star for good measure, burning him up entirely! Tranza even lampshades this by saying: "Wow! Now I know what the definition of 'Overkill' looks like!"

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": It seems that Dr. Maniac isn't the ONLY villain that was inspired by "Spaceballs". Khorne decided to make the combination to de-power the Chaos Realm, as "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Sla'neesh was even WORSE, as he LITERALLY wanted to make the password, "Swordfish!"

No...Just "No" Reaction/Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: This is the response that Captain Retro gives to FireHawk when she asks why they simply can't just kill Radiguet as a baby, and he actually gives THREE justifications as to WHY there is a Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act! The first one if that such a gigantic change in history could cause the Time/Space Continuum to become SO unbalanced, it could collapse in on itself and destroy ALL sentient life! The second justification is that even if reality DIDN'T collapse in on itself and successfully manage to create an alternate timeline, the chance is STILL too high that it would cause something like, Nazi's NOT existing, but something WORSE taking their place! In other words, "Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!" And the third, most important justification is that FireHawk is talking about killing a baby, who from his viewpoint, hasn't DONE anything yet! When FireHawk doesn't get it, that's when Captain Retro says...

And That's Terrible: Captain Retro points out that SUPPOSING everyone had access to time travel, and decided to "Ret-gone" somebody out of existence just because they COULD! Not only could they accidentally erase THEMSELVES out of existence, the logistical nightmare of trying to manage the historical changes would be too much for even Captain Retro and the other Guardians to handle!

Skewed Priorities: Even Diane Martin didn't seem immune to this, as she was more worried about the structure of her CAR, as opposed to the safety of the guy actually driving it! Radiguet gets this to, but when the brainwashed Maria points out there would be no benefit to Radiguet murdering all of Sla'neesh's followers, Radiguet responds to it, by using "Insistent Terminology", and calling it a "Public Service". /

That's all the tropes I can think up of for now. Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

Sorry for the long delay in writing more tropes; but I'm finally back, to present some more. /

Ridiculously Human Aliens: Any villain originally from the "Sailor Moon" franchise will qualify. Not only that, but Queen Galaxia; despite stated to being STRONGER and more ruthless than Queen Beryl, is a deceptively 20 year old looking blonde female, a case of "Older Than They Look".

Rewarded Like A Traitor Deserves: Queen Galaxia, Kaolite, and Villuy; plan to pull this off on the Nazi Realm! Their plan, is that after they siphon off the energy from Dr. Maniac's Wormhole Creator, they will create a rift to access the Nazi Realm, kill all the Nazi leaders in power, and have Youma possess any remaining Nazis, fitting for being such traitors to human kind!

Change The Uncomfortable Subject/Let Us Never Speak Of This Again: In the first part of "Back To The 1980's", Dr. Maniac pulls this off in the MOST Dr. Maniac way possible! When he speaks of how his Neo Machine Empire Gear is going to replace ALL humans with machines (an example of "Kill And Replace"), his loyal minion Farrah Cat, proved to be "Too Dumb To Live", by trying to point out that Dr. Maniac HIMSELF "Was Once A Man", only to be "Killed In Mid-Sentence" for her troubles, and Dr. Maniac just off-handed, says: "Oh look, that minion died. Kaolite and Villuy, would you clean up that mess please? I expect to continue THAT conversation NEVER!"

No More For Me: In the second part of "Back To The 1980's", when Ken of the "Power Rangers Battle Fever" sees a disguised Captain Retro coming out of a Wormhole, he actually WONDERS if he's THAT drunk, and Captain Retro even ADVISES him to lay off the sauce, as it's bad for him, and makes other Russians LOOK bad!

Wretched Hive: In a case of proving that Captain Retro is "Not So Above It All", the first thing he does when he arrives in New York City in December 31, 1979; is to DIRECTLY quote the original "Star Wars" film, and he says: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." And he laughs to himself, and he says: "I ALWAYS wanted to say that line!"

Chekhov's Gunman/Once More, With Clarity!: It turns out, Captain Retro HIMSELF turns out to be this for Diane Martin's memory of December 31, 1979! It turns out, Captain Retro's disguise, was of a 5 foot 8 inch white man with long green hair, and impossibly tacky clothes, was MISTAKEN for a parking valet, and Diane simply tossed the keys to Captain Retro without waiting to hear his explanation as to why he was there!

Drives Like Crazy: Downplayed, and Justified in Captain Retro's case. As it turns out, while Captain Retro DOES have a Driver's Permit, he has never BEFORE had to deal with such traffic like in 1979 New York City; and he has to multi-task, first with informing Omnus of why Captain Retro HAS to park Diane Martin's pink limo; than having to deal with Dr. Maniac's time-traveling Mecha-Clones! Even so, Captain Retro DOES manage to actually DRIVE and park the car safely, only to prove that even Captain Retro is not immune to "Tempting Fate", as the minute that Captain Retro states that there's not a SCRATCH on the car; the final surviving Mecha-Clone BLASTS the car simply to spite Captain Retro!

Calling Your Attacks: So far, this has been Naruto's strategy; a tactic THOROUGHLY deconstructed by Captain Retro! In fact, if you DARE mess with Captain Retro in anyway, don't even EXPECT to have the courtesy of Captain Retro announcing his attack WHILE he's attacking!

I Have Boobs, You Must Obey/Bait And Switch: Initially, it seems like Usagi's plan to get into Studio 54 is the former trope. She flashes her assets to the two guards guarding the front door, and seems to be WILLING to let them give her pleasure, only to KNOCK the two guards out cold as soon as they get into the building, and Usagi merely opens the door for BlackHawk and StarHawk!

Not Quite Herself/Alternate Identity Amnesia: Both Pinkie Pie and Naruto seem to be suffering from these tropes! Pinkie Pie doesn't even RECOGNIZE her own name (although she DOES call herself Diana MANCHOT), and wants to become a famous singer/actress/dancer, not unlike Madonna! In fact, Pinkie thoroughly PROVES she's not herself, when she decides to debut Madonna's debut single "Burning Up" early!

Been There, Shaped History: Or at least, a version of history. As it turns out, the Power Rangers didn't EXACTLY travel to the past, they've traveled into a COPY of the past, in a time rift; meaning that they could potentially make ANY changes in that version of history that they want, WITHOUT having to worry about the collapse of the Space Time Continuum. And it seems that in this version of history, the moment when Pinkie Pie sings Madonna's "Burning Up", just so HAPPENS to be the time when Madonna's real-life brother, Christopher Ciccone, HAPPENS to be in Studio 54, and in a "Shout-Out" to "Back To The Future", is the one who let's Madonna HEAR her song of "Burning Up", over the telephone!

One Hit KO/The Worf Effect: This is how the mysterious Emperor Catton (from "Super Sentai Dynaman"), makes his debut in the OFFICIAL "Power Rangers Universe". While the Power Rangers themselves have often had to struggle with Dr. Maniac's monsters; Emperor Catton simply one-shots Dr. Maniac's Disco Brawl Monster, proving how much stronger he is than Dr. Maniac's mechanical creations!

Circular Reasoning: Even Omnus isn't immune to this! When Emperor Catton says he's no one suspicious and reveals his name, Omnus simply states: "A suspicious character WOULD say they weren't suspicious!"

You Shouldn't Already Know This: A rare, non-video game example. Captain Retro HIMSELF had to check with the Akhasic Records, in order to CONFIRM that Emperor Catton's deduction of being in a time rift wouldn't affect THEIR version of history; only to realize that Emperor Catton shouldn't already KNOW that! This is what tips HIM off that Emperor Catton is NOT who he CLAIMS to be!

Fan Of The Morbid: Down-played with Emperor Catton. Before he leaves, he asks the non-brainwashed Power Rangers if he can take samples of their DNA with him; just a few drops of blood! Needless to say, StarHawk is REPULSED by the offer!

The Long Crawl: While the other Power Rangers get to skip STRAIGHT to Dr. Maniac's next attack, Captain Retro HAS to stay behind, due to the fact that he HAS to stay behind and make SURE Dr. Maniac DOESN'T kill an infant Radiguet, and therefore risk collapsing the Space-Time Continuum! /

That's all the tropes I can think up for this time! Enough said, true believers!
