Women Hunt

From Tv Tropes

Current revision as of 21:16, 16 May 2012

Part of the Fansadox franchise of webcomics.

A World Half Empty where a comet hit the Earth, and left it in ruins. Humanity's last hope for survival and civilization is Mars... which is run by a sadistic former convict.

Contains examples of

• Abhorrent Admirer: Mad Satan to the women he likes. He knows it and plays with the concept, because he knows he'll get what he wants.
• Adaptation Expansion: Everything that follows the novel. What took a couple of pages for Mad Satan's catch to be delivered, it took four image issues of 40+ pages each, full of Continuity Porn until then. And then it stopped. The revival is pacing apparently as slow.
• After The End: Women Hunt in general (and the novel).
• All Men Are Perverts: Colonel Wasp notes this ... it's arguable if she noticed the Hypocritical Humor involved.
• All Women Are Lustful: All Lesbians Are Horny And Active. A little justified in that they're oppressed on Earth and can't really find partners, but still...
• Amazon Brigade: The lesbian brigade.
• Apocalypse How: Class 2: asteroid/comet hit Earth, most civilization is destroyed, remainder is hunted down and brought to Mars by criminal space bounty-hunters.
• Arson Murder And Jaywalking: Mad Satan is a... man *gasp*:

  Colonel Wasp: Mad Satan may be a mutated psychic killer and suspected cannibal, but even worse... he's a man ! All men are hairy apes who think with their dicks, and Mad Satan's no different. [follows a long rant on why men are disgusting]

• Awesome Yet Practical: The torturing devices.
• Bald Women: Mad Satan prefers one of his slaves like that, for both humiliation and for her to put her head in his butt.
• Bounty Hunter.
• Brains And Bondage: Mad Satan.
• Butch Lesbian: Wasp.
• Career Killers: Colonel Wasp.
• City Planet: Mars in Women Hunt.
• Complete Monster: Wasp and her superiors, Mad Satan and his own cronies.
• Colonel Badass: Colonel Wasp.
• Continuity Reboot: Mars Penal Colony feels like that: it's based on the same novel, but it's drawn/created by a different author, it obviously got a different style, its events happen prior the continuity of the novel and the original Women Hunt series while acknowledging that it's in the same Universe (thus avoiding Continuity Lockout), it's got a different name/brand altogether and it's Trope Overdosed (to be read: full of every cliche available for that setting).
• Crapsack World: It's revealed the Earth wasn't too pretty Just Before The End either.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Colonel Wasp is a Psycho Lesbian assassin sent to kill Mad Satan. She comments this about her "lover":

  Ha Ha! You horny dyke ! I should write you up for slacking off on duty ! I could throw you in the brig and have you try to convince me you'd be a good girl if I let you out. Humm ! That's something I should remember for later...

• Dead Fic: The novel ends right smack in the middle.
• Death from Above: The asteroid/comet
• Electric Torture.
• Evil Vs Evil: Mars Penal Colony is made of this.
• Fate Worse Than Death: Being given to Mad Satan.
• Fun With Acronyms: WHIP-ONE is supposed to stand for something ... but we don't really get to know for what.
• Genre Blind: Colonel Wasp and the whole Amazon Brigade, especially her lover.
• Humans Are Bastards: Both the rulers of Earth and of Mars.
• Hollywood Homely: Mad Satan was presented as a mutant in the original novel, and an ugly one at that (judging at least from the art). In Women Hunt, he wasn't really ugly, but not something you'd want to see. By Mars Penal Colony, while some Complete Monster traits have been added to his already deranged personality, he's reached pimp levels, including his face and him wearing what look like gold chains around his neck.
• I Have Boobs You Must Obey: The lesbian guards pull this off in the revival number. They're probably set up for the subversion in the next number.
• I'm A Humanitarian: Mad Satan is Retconned into a suspected cannibal too...
• Inner Monologue.
• Just Before The End: Mars Penal Colony is set in April 2049. That's less than a year before the comet/asteroid hits.
• Right Wing Militia Fanatic: That's what rules the U.S. before the end.
• Lipstick Lesbian: Wasp's partner.
• Los Angeles: Collins (the heroine) was caught (and probably lived) there.
• Mad Scientist: Mad Satan.
• Mark Of Shame: Collins gets branded so that, if Mad Satan would tear her to pieces, they'd at least know who it was.
• Mars Needs Women: Literally. And booze and smokes.
• Meaningful Name: WHIP-ONE, Mad Satan, Colonel Wasp.
• Mercy Kill: Implied, but probably never done.
• More Expendable Than You: Collins is expected to be this, but Wasp promptly reminds her she's not (technically, she's less expendable for Wasp and less interesting for Mad Satan).
• Names To Run Away From Really Fast: Mad Satan, Killer, Hunter, Colonel Wasp...
• Not Distracted By The Sexy: Colonel Wasp's girlfriend thinks Wasp's mere presence will give him a heart attack so she won't have to kill him. You know, the guy that has tens of naked women per month around him, humiliated in every possible way. Wasp is not so convinced. Either way, neither seem to know how well it worked whenever a woman in a Fansadox world would claim this...
• N Word Privileges: Colonel Wasp calls her "girlfriend" a horny dyke in her Inner Monologue.
• Overly Long Tongue: Mad Satan extends his slaves' tongues.
• Penal Colony: Mars.
• The Place: Mars Penal Colony.
• Power Perversion Potential: The entire series is based around this (more obvious in the novel and in Mars Penal Colony): The systems Mad Satan employs is based on "correctional" options which kept hardened criminals in line, and while they were used in severe way, they were still Lawful Neutral. Now he's monitoring women's brains, telling the supercomputer what to do with the information so to break their spirit better, uses the entire system to control every man on Mars and keep them in line (read: he could kill or torture mentally whoever didn't follow his rules).
• Psycho Lesbian: Colonel Wasp.
• The Resolution Will Not Be Televised: Unless a miracle happens, the main Women Hunt Universe won't have a resolution. Most likely the novel too.
• The Red Planet: The setting.
• Red Shirts: Guess who gets raped once the riot starts.
• Robotic Torture Device.
• Sadist Show: You can't root for any of the "main characters" in Mars Penal Colony, because Andrea is going to have a Fate Worse Than Death anyway, and Earth officials, Wasp and Mad Satan are all strongly into Complete Monster territory.
• Space Marine.
• Straw Feminist: Colonel Wasp and her Amazon Brigade.
• That Makes Me Feel Angry: Yeah, we got that it's humiliating and it hurts in the last 265 issues...
• This Is My Story: Andrea Collins' story in Mars Penal Colony.
• Thrown Out The Airlock: It's suggested as a Mercy Kill in contrast to what happens to girls that are taken to Mad Satan:

  You must know about Mad Satan and his outrageous demands, colonel, He kept demanding new playmates, one after another until there were none left. It would have been more humane to just kick the bimbos out the airlock and finish them off quickly.

• Uncanceled: Takes the record from Confiscated Twins, although it's more of a Continuity Reboot.
• You Are Number Six: Almost a Shout Out:

  Collins: The searing agony tore through my leg, and I knew that a part of my humanity had been ripped away from me. I'd never be the same again. It didn't matter if I lived another 50 years or 5 minutes. From this point on I was nothing more than a number. A useless number at that.
