Basic Trope: Another world is similar to this one, but with key differences.
- Straight: Alice and Bob travel to a universe where everyone's genders are flipped.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob travel to a universe where everyone is a Starfish Alien.
- Downplayed: In the dimension Alice and Bob travel to, everyone wears a nice hat all the time.
- Justified: Alice and Bob exist in The Multiverse, so anything conceivable (and everything else that's not) exists somewhere.
- Inverted: ???
- Subverted: Alice and Bob thought it was an alternate universe, but it was just another planet with eerily similar denizens to them.
- Double Subverted: But that planet was in an alternate universe.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: There is only one universe, the one Alice and Bob are in.
- Enforced: The creators want to create interesting scenarios and allow the franchise to continue for a long time, and find Alternate Universes a good way to do that.
- Lampshaded: "This dimension is pretty similar to ours. Hmm..."
- Invoked: The Multiverse they are in can be changed, and Alice and Bob set out to do something to their universe to create a split Alternate Universe from the original universe.
- Exploited: Alice and Bob use the alternate universe for their potentially world ending experiments.
- Defied: Alice and Bob destroy the rest of The Multiverse so that they're the only Alice and Bob.
- Discussed: "Hey, Bob, have you ever imagined an alternate reality where all of our genders have been swapped? That would be so weird—if our parents' genders swapped too, we'd probably have different surnames. Imagine if I were 'Alan Laconic' instead of 'Alice Troper'."
- Conversed:Alice: Hey, look at this fanfic of The Adventures of Charlotte and Damian!
Bob: The Adventures of Charles and Dahlia? What is that, a Genderswap AU fic? No, thanks. I think I'd rather stick to canon, all these alternate realities and such are too confusing for me. - Played for Drama: Alternate Alice and Alternate Bob are planning to destroy Normal Alice and Bob's universe.
Back to Alternate Universe.
