Dark Magical Girls are often depicted as understanding their Magical Girl counterpart far more than anyone else, and after inevitable redemption at the very least become Heterosexual Life-Partners, if not more. Terms of Endangerment often feature, and watch out for the "Take That!" Kiss. Other times, this trope can be invoked by a villain who seems to be too eager and persistent about trying to convince or force the hero to rule the world together, and eventually appear as a one-sided Villainous Crush. If enemies have to work together, it can give the impression that adversity makes strange bedfellows. This trope is much more likely to come into play if one is The Rival and The Only One Allowed to Defeat You, or a Rival Turned Evil, and is especially likely if one is an Evil Former Friend.

Just as Homoerotic Subtext is about the situation of implying romance where even the characters' canonical characterizations or sexual orientations make it implausible, this trope intentionally creates an even deeper paradox by subtextually implying love in a relationship that is, textually, the opposite of love. In the MIDA Multi-Tool's lore, Shaxx attempts to create a backronym: "Mars Is Damnably Arid".The implications of sexual tension between arch-enemies.The Marathon's massive size made it invulnerable to most normal space attacks, and it would have made a very stable weapons platform.Īfter the failed coup, the leaders of MIDA were executed for their crimes, and the political organization was banned in all forms. In fact, they never attempted to take over the Marathon, which was nearing completion and would have made a very powerful weapon. In an organization that was notorious for its long ranging policies and politicking, the coup was very short-lived: MIDA never seriously accounted for the UEG's overwhelming superiority in ground forces and warships. The MIDA coup was afterwards criticized for its shortsightedness. The terminal entry can be found here relevant portions of the text are quoted: MIDA is a direct reference to Bungie's Marathon series, specifically " The Rose" level where the history of MIDA is discussed.The weapons entered the Guardians' timeline, were discovered by Commander Zavala, and the details of MIDA were extracted from their log caches by Lord Shaxx using their electronic warfare functions. One survivor, Strauss, fled the planet, but the other traveled deep beneath the Martian surface, guided by their Mini-Tool in response to their request to "go somewhere better." There, they apparently found a temporal anomaly that allowed at least the weapons to pass through. Īround the date of November 17, 2472, in the alternate timeline, two survivors, carrying the MIDA weapons with them, learned the location of a "salvaged construct" that they hoped would allow them to flee somewhere safe and thus preserve MIDA's ideals. The government eventually fell, and its surviving loyalists were forced to go on the run from threats such as "battleroids". During its brief reign, MIDA was responsible for the deaths of 10% of the Martian population. MIDA was a rebel group that seized control of Mars. MIDA (an acronym with an unknown meaning) was a revolutionary government that came to power on Mars in an assumed alternate timeline, and the creator of the weapons MIDA Multi-Tool and MIDA Mini-Tool.
