* VillainDecay: Mike is getting it ''hard'', leaving behind the central concept that he "just was" as he was.
** YMMV. Although Mike was generally the flattest character in the Walkyverse for [[RuleOfFunny comedy]] [[RefugeInAudacity purposes]], he did have a few hints of depth every now and then, especially in his relationship with [[TheWoobie Dina]]. For example, [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20031015.html this comment]] to Joe suggested that Mike may have actually cared for Dina and caused a firestorm of debate about Mike's character when the strip first aired.
** Faz even moreso. He has lost any semblance of power and has been so thoroughly defanged that he can no longer plausibly threaten Amber or Ethan - he's just a ButtMonkey now.

** Considering Robin has decided to actually date her (...sort-of), Leslie will probably become a bit less of a Woobie. Unless their attempted-relationship ends badly.

Early Bird Cameo refers to adaptations only, so this falls under Chekhov\'s Gunman, where it\'s already mentioned.
