It becomes Crazy Awesome instead. * Double Subverted: ...and then, it gets so much worse Crazy Awesome methods lose their efficency. * Parodied: Armed conflict erupts - but instead of drama, the tone switches to Black Comedy. * Deconstructed: * Author understands that comedic characters won't instantly turn into Badasses. They have a hard time adapting to new conditions. * The medium-aware characters don't like the dark, angsty changes to their world and their characters, so they fight to return their world to bright and happy place it was. * Reconstructed: Some of them, however, waited for this moment their entire lives - and jump straight into action. * Zig Zagged: Cerebus Rollercoaster * Averted: The work never gets more dramatic, opting for Surreal Humor instead. * Enforced: * Author is running out of good jokes, yet he has accumulated some good dramatic plotlines. * Fandom wants work to be Darker and Edgier. Now. * Lampshaded: "Is it me, or did our universe became much more serious overnight?" * Invoked: * "Joking around is all well and good, but I like it more the way it is now. Adventure! Conflict! High drama!" * A villain who is a Knight of Cerebus comes in at the start of the second half and makes things darker. * Defied: "Oh no. No. No-no-no-no-no. Even if it's war, i'm not gonna stop joking, no sir." * Discussed:"Remember when our lives were fun? When we had nothing but frivolity to worry about?" "Yeah. I miss those days, I really do." * Conversed: "Didn't this webcomic use to be silly?" Back to Cerebus Syndrome
