Adding Failure Is the Only Option because I'm not sure if it belongs on the main page (I'm new at this), but I really liked those quotes. Also added Tearjerker because I wasn't sure about creating a separate page. I might add more examples later

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: A large theme of the story is Skärva attempts to avert this trope, as summed up by this quote
-->'''Courtney:''' Yeah, a lot of times the failure of villainy in a comical story can be attributed to the bad guys, from the workaday minion to the big boss, just being idiots. But it’s an important part of The Fourth that Skärva is [[VillainousValour competent and very smart and hardworking]] and, by and large, his minions are resourceful and flexible and know what they’re doing too. They lose because THE GODS. Because DESTINY. No matter how hard they try. Will this time be different…?
-->'''Courtney:''' The Third accepted his [[YouCantFightFate apparent destiny]] and made a successful business out of it. The Fourth [[ScrewDestiny refuses]] to. Where will that lead him in the end?
* {{Tearjerker}}: Despite being a fairly light-hearted comic fantasy there are a lot of sadder moments throughout. For example;
**Loreli has [[NightmareSequence nightmares]] about being unable to heal Skärva[[http://thefourthcomic.com/?comic=lol-title-20]].
**The Third and the Fourth [[IAmNotMyFather don't get along]] due to differing opinions regarding the curse and their place in the world:
-->'''The Third:''' You're being too hard on yourself, son. Being a villain isn't about beating the hero, it's about being an important part of the community. You have to try your best, but don't be afraid to fail. It's your destiny, after all.
-->'''The Fourth:''' What, and be a push over, like you were? Never!
-->'''The Third:''' Son...
-->'''The Fourth:''' I'm tired of you lecturing me about what kind of villain I'm going to be. Just because you were content to sit here and take the hero's beating every time, doesn't mean I am!
-->'''The Third:''' I just wish... you would be more like me, for once.
-->'''The Fourth:''' [[MoodWhiplash What, dead?]]

-->'''The Third:''' Sigh. Why can't you just be happy doing what our family is known for?
-->'''The Fourth:''' What? Losing?
-->'''The Third:''' '''YES.'''
