Added DiffLines:

* CombatPragmatist: Mason goes to transform as he usually does, and Liam responds by attacking him - not even waiting for his transformation to complete. The rest of the fight is utterly brutal, with Liam instead of flashily fighting just brutally breaking Mason's arms, legs and slicing through his kneecaps.

Think of it as the last breaths before a nightmare...I am not a hero, so you don't have to worry about me failing to save everything. A god should answer all prayers without fail.

-> '''Iris:''' [[VoiceOfTheLegion You want punishment? I can give you that...]]
-> '''Liam:''' You know...your friends abandoned you, your tech is behind mine, you've got a boring fighting style...I'd say it sucks to be you, but honestly? If you've got even a slightly scientific mind, you've probably deduced that by now. By the by, RIP; your elbow.
-> '''Ellie:''' We kill people, but we kill the people who deserve it. We don't enslave or torture people. We don't force people to get married when they don't want to. We don't make them have sex with us. And we'll never do any of that. I'll never let anyone like that take power. Never again. No matter what it takes.

* '''[=AntiViv:=]''' Yes, it is too damned weird to just start slugging. I actually do want to talk to you. And murder gets too boring. For all of their pomp and drama, the rest of them never got their hands dirty before the Saint....changed his ways, I guess you'd say. They jumped in quickly, but there's a difference between killing someone with their powers and using a knife. You remember what that felt like, don't you? The fight and the sweat and the blood?

I'll also remind you that 1) that wasn't you on the TV and 2) the point of a school is to train the next generation to be better. If you don't approve of what you saw, keep being heroes, your kind of heroes. And less Disney, I know this sucks but take your time.

-> '''Sam:''' So, is there anything compromised in the systems? Or anything missing?



-> '''Liam:''' Well, that's interesting. I'm...just going to observe a bit more for now. Make sure I have a handle on them.

-> '''Not-Too-Bright-Random:''' Oh, grow some balls, Eugene! You're just giving them what they want! As for me, I'm never gonna bow down before some crazy demon chick who won't even bother to put on some fucking pants!
-> '''Prophet/[=AntiMartin=]:''' Okay everyone stop bearing your fangs at each other for a second and lets act like mature and reasonable adults for a second. You're going to give them the impression that they've entered a reality where we all ended up as monsters or something.
-> '''Lily:''' Ideals... never come about. We're human. We'll fail. But we fight. That's what makes us heroes. Not... fighting villains, either. Fighting ourselves. Fighting everything. Fighting everything that stops everyone else from doing the same. And it kills you. I know you're tired, and I'm sorry, but...no. I can't. You've given up. I'm sorry.
-> '''Liam:''' ...Seems to me you exalt the idea of hero as the underdog. That things are perpetually immutable, and we can't do anything but fight everything and keep fighting and fighting...well, I'd disagree. Saying people can't achieve something and that they should just keep on fighting and fighting nevertheless...that's delusional. Unscientific - it's mysticism, almost religion. Eventually, science advances enough that your mystical belief system there about heroes as basically martyrs ceases to be viable.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Every Savior gets one but the one that seems to catch the most eyes is 'Prophet'.



* FantasticRacism: The Savior Verse is demonstrably not crime-free. (See the AttackHello the heroes got). And it doesn't look like different peoples are any closer either.



* ImplacableMan: Savior!Zach is technically DumbMuscle. This isn't funny ''at all'' [[note]]unless you're into that kinda thing[[/note]]. He's a ready attack dog and gleefully and relentlessly charges against and tears into the heroes--who all resemble his 'friends'--as soon as he gets the order. [[SilentAntagonist Oh, and he doesn't spend time spelling out anything]].



* MotiveRant: To be fair, Nariko asked for [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15654498340A83003200&page=34#comment-832 it]].

He remembered the death of Leon and the betrayal of their foundation. No mercy. He remembered what just happened to Martin. No matter what. He threw the kick at the Saint as hard as he could. [[/quoteblock]][[/note]] It was also instantly parodied: [[note]][[quoteblock]]No escape. He remembered when the Saint ran over his puppy. No release. He remembered when the Saint gave him the finger as he passed him in traffic. No slaps on the wrist. He remembered when the Saint stole the last doughnut and devoured it in public for all to see.[[/quoteblock]][[/note]].

* MadScientist: Liam's role in the Saviors - lacking superpowers in the Savior Reality, he instead built himself up as a scientist...and became a cold, distant figure. He's also the head of surveillance via the odd little thopter robots that seem to be ''[[BigBrotherIsWatching everywhere]]''. He even comes complete with TheIgor; Barnett.

-> '''AntiSaint:''' As terrible and abominable as Gaea was, it was a wake-up call. For all the effort I put into changing things, for all the trouble I went through, someone like Gaea still came this close to bringing everything crashing down. And me with it. And I realized just how fragile it all was. Everything I made, everything I built up could be gone just like that. Like tearing off a band-aid. And I guess I was right. After coming over here, I saw how things would've turned out if they had managed to kill me. And it's exactly what I thought it'd be.

Classic soldier mindset. Keep that in mind and... actually don't. You'd just be thinking about dying– I'm not helping, am I?

-> '''Gloria:''' Goodness is not something that should be determined by one powerful man - I don't believe anything good can or ever has risen from that kind of thinking. ...The bigger battle is for the hearts of people who have seen a hero stray from the light, and have now become lost. A battle to show the world that it is our principles, not a singular individual, that should determine the path we take.
-> '''Viv:''' And I know no one's doing it, but let's not kid ourselves that anyone will miss Leon, first off. If one of your loved ones had died and he'd gotten away cackling you'd want to kill him too. That's just being human, and there are some arguments to be made that killing him was a good deed. Before my change, I might have done it given the chance.
-> '''Marky:''' I'm...I'm not Saint Lad any more. If you gotta call me something in the field, call me Ultra Lad. Or...or just Marky, or Marcus. Don't—-Don't connect me to the Saint any more. That man is dead to me.
-> '''Sam:''' So, is there anything compromised in the systems? Or anything missing?
-> '''Martin:''' Heroes have to take the harder road, work within laws to bring down threats. And when those threats are someone who talks and walks like the worlds greatest hero that means we need to rise higher to the occasion. Our actions from here on out decide what it means to be a hero in the modern era, because we are the examples that the Saint can't be anymore. I would trust each of you here with my life, we're going to win this.
