Season 1, Episode 1: All Hail the Goddess of Likeability


Tropes That Appear In This Episode:

  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: After an entire episode of squabbling, Tyrannis defends Deliria's honor when Athena dismisses him, and Deliria shows up to defend him afterwards. When Athena turns him into a snake later, Deliria gives a Big "NO!" in response.
  • Cat Fight: Deliria and Athena wind up devolving into one.
  • Forced Transformation: Deliria has the habit of turning people who displease her into snakes. During her battle with Athena, both of them turn random people into snakes... including Tyrannis.
  • Gossipy Hens: Hermes is depicted performing his messenger duties, though most of his messages are just him running the latest gossip by Deliria.
  • Jerkass Gods: The episode shows how self-centered Deliria is, particularly when it comes to her social standing among other gods since she's banished from Olympus. She justifies it as mortals dying regardless of how they're treated, while immortal lives mean immortal social lives.
  • The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: After Tyrannis is turned into a snake, when Deliria changes him back to normal, he still thinks like a snake; his speech after transforming has him ranting about having strange legs and wanting to eat mice and lie in the sun. The Stinger shows Tyrannis giving the wives of those who got changed into snakes a bag full of three days' worth of mice after Deliria transforms them back, suggesting that's how long it takes for the effects to wear off.
  • Never My Fault: When Tyrannis tells his parents off for being so selfish, Deliria — the most abusive of the two — blames Shlub for it.
  • Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: Deliria transforms all the snakes back into men, starting with Tyrannis. Unfortunately, their clothes don't transform back with them, so they all end up naked.
  • Trojan Horse: Hippocampus and Stupendous give the cannibal tribe a wooden horse with Hippocampus' newest invention — the bomb — inside. The plan is that the cannibals will think there are soldiers inside, set it on fire, and get blown into oblivion. Instead, the cannibals are touched and decide to make peace with Krapopolis. Hippocampus and Stupendous break and confess their true intentions, leading to an all-out war.
