Basic Trope: Water as a weakness.
- Straight: Alice douses Emperor Evulz in water, killing him instantly.
- Exaggerated: Alice throws Emperor Evulz in the ocean, and he vanishes from existence immediately.
- Downplayed:
- Alice douses Emperor Evulz in water, and he gets very sick.
- Alice plainly and simply drowns Evulz.
- Justified:
- Emperor Evulz is a robot, and not a waterproof one.
- Emperor Evulz is made of fire.
- Emperor Evulz is a species that cannot breathe underwater; Alice drowned him.
- Emperor Evulz is an alien from a waterless planet and his body isn't mostly made of water... but is made of a substance that dissolves in it.
- Emperor Evulz is a vampire. That was holy water.
- Inverted: Emperor Evulz is healed by water.
- Subverted: Alice pours water on Emperor Evulz. He looks like he's dying, but he then starts to morph into another form instead.
- Double Subverted: Said form is vulnerable to water damage...
- Parodied: Emperor Evulz is a fish, but the moment Alice pours water on him, he disintegrates.
- Zig Zagged: ...But that form needs a ridiculous amount of water to do the slightest amount of damage.
- Averted: Emperor Evulz is invulnerable to water damage.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Wow, he disintegrated from being doused with water!"
- Invoked: "Alice, pour water on him!"
- Exploited: Alice fights Emperor Evulz on the beach.
- Defied: Alice, needing to save water, doesn't douse him in water.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: ???
- Reconstructed: ???
- Played for Laughs: It takes a ridiculous amount of water to kill Emperor Evulz.
Back to Kill It with Water.
