YMMV / Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Secundus is a former finder who was partnered with Abraxas. Eventually, his lust for power grew out of control and he decided to seek the Anti-Life Equation, not caring that using it would cause a wave of planet-destroying energy. In his pursuit of the Equation, Secundus comes to Earth and forcibly impregnates a human woman with an embryo, which is key to finding the Equation before Abraxas captures him. Five years later, he escapes to Earth to find his son, assaulting and killing anybody who stands in his way, culminating in him holding a class of children hostage. After the son comes out, Secundus tries to Mind Rape the Equation into his conscious mind.
  • Funny Moments: After eating a diner’s entire breakfast section, Secundus is presented with the bill for said meal. After asking if everyone gets one, and is answered in the affirmative, he eats it, calling it “refreshing.”
  • Heartwarming Moments: When Sonia asks why Abraxas spared her life years ago despite having orders from his superiors to kill her, Abraxas tenderly says, "You had done nothing wrong. You were an innocent. I couldn't kill you."
  • Retroactive Recognition: Secundus is Sven-Ole Thorsen, after being Lt. Michael "Tank" Ellis, but before his gig as LaFours.
  • Spiritual Adaptation: Beyond namedropping the Anti-Life Equation and the Answer Boxes being named similarly to the Mother Boxes, there is plenty here that makes the film look like a low-budget adaptation of Green Lantern with the serial numbers filed off: Abraxas is a Space Cop imbued with superpowers by other aliens, who carries with him a tiny supercomputer with an extensive database and scanning abilities. Secundus, as his former friend who turned renegade out for personal power, closely parallels the character of Sinestro.
