Kingdom Come/YMMV

• Anvilicious: The series is not exactly subtle in it's themes, metaphors and particularly religious symbolism.
• Badass Decay: Poor Lobo, getting on in years, has gone from the Main Man to the Main Homer Simpson Lookalike.
• Chaotic Neutral: The Creeper, of course. The Novelization even states that he switches sides a few times during the final battle before dying in the nuclear blast.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Boston Brand's (Deadman) four page cameo. He's even wittier in the Novelization.
  • Magog ended up becoming this for the writers; they initially made him a cliched representation of everything they hated about Nineties Anti-Hero and the the culture he represented, but he gained unexpected depth through the writing of the series until he ended up being one of their favourite characters from it.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Deadman's appearance in this series: he is reduced to his skeleton in his uniform. Now take a look at what his Black Lantern self looks like...
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The entire Silver Age generation of heroes.
• Sequelitis: Kingdom Come was followed by The Kingdom, which was... underwhelming.
• Straw Man Has a Point: From one of the younger heroes...

"Who bagged Eclipso, huh? Who toasted Ra's Al Ghul? Guys like us, that's who! We saved lives, man!"

• • And they also note that the traditional heroes never had to deal with threats like Genosyde and the Murder Squad - if they had a better answer for those situations, the anti-heroes are all ears.
  • When Superman questions Wonder Woman about bringing a lethal weapon (a sword crafted by a diety) to quell a riot, she shoots back that not everyone has built-in deadly powers like heat vision or bullet-proof skin.
• Stronger with Age: Superman, who is not vulnerable to Kryptonite anymore.
• Uncanny Valley: Averted, one of the main praises of the painted artwork is how realistic it is.
