YMMV / Dark Oracle

Go To

  • Adorkable: Sage, Lance's very weird, borderline Cloudcuckoolander girlfriend. Only true for audiences; in the series, she's regularly tormented by the other students.
  • Awesome Music: The opening credits and the ominous music that blares once an episode once things go bad.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Lance and Omen are the obvious ones.
    • Vern and Doyle have a creepy obsession with each other.
    • Dizzy seems to be really concerned with Lance.
    • Blaze and Lance.
    • Annie and Cally.
    • Cally and exchange student Claudia from Montreal.
  • Incest Yay Shipping: Not Lance and Cally, who successfully come off as a brother and sister. Blaze and Violet, on the other hand, do have a bit of this vibe going for them when they escape into the real world. Then again, this is Blaze and Violet we're talking about.
  • Paranoia Fuel: Let's see you go near a mirror after watching this show. Or read a comic book.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: An example of life during the early-mid 2000s, World of Warcraft (well, a fake version of it), computers running Windows XP, 'dumb' cellphones with monochrome screens, kids reading comic books, and more...
  • Villain Decay: Omen. In Season 1, he's effectively the Big Bad, despite his powers being partially sealed by his frog curse. In Season 2, he returns unsealed. You'd expect him to be more dangerous than ever, right? No such luck. He's being strongarmed into working for Blaze and Violet, neither of whom take him seriously as a threat. For that matter, neither do the heroes. They still think he's a bastard, but they aren't afraid of him anymore.
