* RecklessSidekick: Averted quite strongly by the sidekick and the heroes. When the fanboy introduced himself in a somewhat obnoxious way, Hansel and Gretel were actually fairly polite to him and somewhat appreciative of his hero-worship of them and actually a bit impressed about all the research he did on witches and them, even if they did find it a bit creepy. When the fanboy got his chance to get a sidekick role, he actually did what he was told - to hide and stand guard for a few hours, leading to a successful ambush.
