Magick Chicks 01-04-11 I'm okay!

[Don Alexander]

Competent? I just assumed she was going to fall over stupidly in the next page comedic-ly.

Close enough to say that I called it.

So you did!!!

Anyway, yep, here's the Tiff we've all come to know and love!!

And I don#t really get Mel. Why is she lying on the floor, and looking deranged in the last panel??

[Kamino Neko]

Mel's not in the last panel. The blonde in the last panel is Tiff.

[Don Alexander]

Wait... Did Tiff throw the smoke bomb, run away, take off her mask, and then come zooming back, pretending she was someone completely different???

[Kamino Neko]

A-yup.

[Ravenhull]

Remember who we are talking about here, Don... Tiff isn't working with all four suits...

[David Johnston]

Wait... Did Tiff throw the smoke bomb, run away, take off her mask, and then come zooming back, pretending she was someone completely different???

Wait. Are you suggesting that the Mysterious Masked Academy Avenger might be Tiffany?

[Don Alexander]

And Sonya is totally not Lesbian, either.

[Mad Scientist]

I'm sure there's a trope for that, but I don't feel like being sucked in.

Oh, I'll do the leg work on this one.

The tropes are

1) Clark Kenting - person looks so much like the "hero" but is so differrent in personality that it "can't be him". IE Superman could never be mild mannered Clark Kent.

2) Paper Thin Disguise - A character that the other characters should recognize (or at least recognize as not belonging) dons a disguise. This disguise is so completely transparent that the audience wants to shout "For the love of God, it's him!" IE While obvious to EVERYONE in the audience that the character and masked hero/villian are one and the same, the rest of the cast cannot make the connection. Can also be played for comic effect

Can be subverted in We knew it all along. The disguise really didn't fool anyone but everyone willing played along thinking the secret was important or necessary to the character and not wanting to reveal the secret.
