It's a Good Life | comment |
A 1953 short story — er — a very good short story by Jerome Bixby, set in the small town of Peaksville. The town used to be in Ohio, but it has since been completely cut off from the outside world (assuming the outside world still exists) by the first manifestation of Anthony Fremont's powers.Anthony Fremont is literally omnipotent. He's also only three years old and had his powers from birth. He's not completely human.The plot of the story shows a day in the life of the town. It does about as well as you would expect under the thrall of a being with the power of God and the moral understanding of a three-year-old who's never been disciplined in his life, i.e. pretty crappy....wait, no! Meant to say it's good! It's a very good life!This story has been adapted several times by The Twilight Zone. The original series did a very faithful adaptation, with Bill Mumy as Anthony and Cloris Leachman as his mother Agnes; the only major change being that the character of Anthony was aged up to six. The 2002 revival series had a sequel episode, "It's Still a Good Life", featuring a grown-up Anthony (played again by Bill Mumy) and his daughter Audrey (played by Mumy's real-life daughter Liliana Mumy), who also has powers. Cloris Leachman also returned as Agnes. Twilight Zone: The Movie gave the story a Setting Update to the 1980s (with Anthony terrorizing a single mansion rather than an entire town) and the happiest ending that the premise would allow.For The Twilight Zone (1959) episode and other adaptations, see The Twilight Zone (1959) S3E8: "It's a Good Life".The TV series Johnny Bravo and The Simpsons both also did episodes which are homages/parodies of this story.Compare and contrast with minus.. Definitely not to be confused with It's a Wonderful Life. It's still a good life, though. Yes, a very good life indeed. | |

Ambiguous Innocence | |
It's a Good Life / int_149605c1 | comment |
Ambiguous Innocence: Anthony is not a malelovent person, but his young age means he has a very hazy understanding of right and wrong and lacks the ability to understand other people's feelings. That being said, he can switch from helping to hurting living things on a dime. And when he hurts them, he's disturbingly creative. | |

Carnivore Confusion: Anthony disappears a weasel for trying to kill a smaller animal, but happily delivers flies to a spider. He's vaguely aware that the two situations are related, but he seems to make all his decisions based on which creatures he's currently taking an interest in. | |

Unstable Powered Child | |
It's a Good Life / int_3a2f01b1 | comment |
Unstable Powered Child: Anthony is pretty much the poster child for this trope. While Anthony sometimes gets angry or frustrated, he seems to fundamentally mean well—the narration points out the essential innocence of his thoughts—but he's a very young child, with a very young child's understanding of the world...and god-like powers capable of warping reality itself. | |

Tragically Misguided Favor | |
It's a Good Life / int_47ada33a | comment |
Tragically Misguided Favor: The townspeople fear Anthony trying to help them as much as or more than his lashing out in anger. Since he's a small child and doesn't fully understand the adults' problems, his attempts to solve those problems are often disastrous. This is why the "real good" mantra is applied to everything that happens, whether or not Anthony is involved; no one wants him to sense their unhappiness and try to help them. | |

It's a Good Life / int_5cdbd1f9 | comment |
You Could Have Used Your Powers for Good!: An incidence of this in the past is alluded to, but it didn't go well. Suggesting that Anthony do anything other than what he wants to do is usually a bad idea. It's not that he doesn't want to help — but since he's three, his help is very likely to go wrong. | |

Kids Are Cruel | |
It's a Good Life / int_63389b0b | comment |
Kids Are Cruel: The thing is, Anthony isn't any different from regular little children, as far as his mental and emotional states. The problem is that he has complete omnipotence over his environment and everyone in it, and that does not go well with the mood swings and lack of empathy common to every preschooler. Especially since nobody dares to try to discipline him. Ironically, the other children aren't allowed to go near him after an unfortunate incident with another child. Apparently, Anthony doesn't get along with others his own age. | |

Humanoid Abomination: Anthony. There are hints that he does not look human, though there are no details about what he does look like. He is described as having a "wet, purple gaze", an "odd shadow", and he's said to go "smoothly" over a fence. He is weird-looking enough that when he was born the doctor screamed, dropped him and tried to kill him, and he is at one point referred to as a "goblin". | |

Psychic Static: The residents of Peaksville try very hard to fill their heads with nothing in particular whenever they're tempted to think a negative thought, because there's always a chance that Anthony will choose that moment to listen in. This is somewhat effective because it forces Anthony to go and play in the grove all day with animals who can't shield their thoughts. | |

Children Are Innocent: No, really, he is. Anthony has the mental outlook of a normal three-year-old child, which is what makes him all the more terrifying. Anthony doesn't understand why the people of Peaksville fear him. He likes to go out to a clearing and enter the minds of the animals, who aren't smart enough to fear him. | |

Eldritch Location: The Fremont cornfield. It's full of corpses and malformed monsters that Anthony has created, so no one goes out there. They don't even use it for corn anymore as the whole area's started to weed. The Nothing outside of town is a lesser version of this, we don't get much of a description of what it is, but the villagers use it as a place to dump excess grain. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Don't ask Anthony for a favor, ever. Even when he's genuinely trying to help, the results can be horrific. One time he sensed that a woman missed her dead husband and tried to bring the husband back to life, causing (evidently) the husband's decomposing body to dig itself out of the ground and walk to the wife's house. | |

Spoiled Brat: Most of Anthony's reality warping power is used trying to help people, often in ways that are destructive to them or others. When he gets annoyed, however, he's quick to punish in horrible ways. Because of this, nobody has the courage to discipline him when he misbehaves, and as a result he's become accustomed to always getting his way. | |

Closed Circle | |
It's a Good Life / int_e2a6ebc1 | comment |
Closed Circle: Outside of Peaksville is only a gray nothingness where the rest of the world used to be. The people of Peaksville aren't sure if Anthony destroyed the rest of the world or took Peaksville to some alternate dimension. What is for sure is that the town is suffering for being isolated; the people are barely eking out an existence by growing their own food, and they pass certain material items around to each other as "presents" because that's all they have left. | |

No Ending: We're left with the impression that Peaksville and its remaining residents will continue to exist under Anthony's power indefinitely. | |

Creepy Child | |

Creepy Child: Anthony. Unlike most examples of this trope, his behavior isn't that different from an ordinary child his age; his creepiness comes from how he causes trouble for everyone else with his powers because he lacks the wisdom to understand other people's wants and needs. | |

Running Gag | |
It's a Good Life / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Not a particularly funny one, but every time someone complains or gets unhappy with Anthony even slightly, the others are quick to assert that it's actually a good thing. | |

Pet the Dog | |
It's a Good Life / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Anthony likes to care for the animals in the grove behind his house, creating a small clearing and stream for them— though he sends a predatory weasel to the cornfield and inadvertently injures a small bird. | |
