Scary Shiny Glasses | comment |
These are definitely not mere Nerd Glasses, although they are sometimes mistaken for them at first. This is a variant of The Faceless. Traditionally, one's eyes are an indicator of one's character. Large eyes represent honesty and innocence, while smaller eyes indicate darker personalities. This is because eyes are very important to conveying emotions. If you can't even see their eyes because of light reflecting off their glasses, beware — for these are individuals who deliberately wall themselves off from the people around them. If the symbolism is particularly ham-handed, you can even expect the glasses to be non-prescription lenses, easy to break or take off during a moment of epiphany — or death. The Scary Shiny Glasses can be turned on or off at will by the wearer; they can especially crank it up for intimidation. When they are in effect, the glasses reflect light such that all you can see are two white circles, nothing is visible of the eyes. Often for extra effect their bodies will just be a black outline, with the glasses as the only visible detail. People with Scary Shiny Glasses never have The Glasses Come Off for just fights. A single flash of the glasses can represent a sudden increase of intention, but to really be Scary Shiny Glasses they need to have an even, creepy glow. A variation is to have the glow complete on one lens, but just a flash or not there at all on the other, allowing the audience to see just how sinister the character is being behind his eyepiece. Sometimes the glasses are a visual metaphor for the bearer's inhumane qualities. Other times the possessor is Not Even Human. The shades worn by The Men in Black are a lesser variant; see Sinister Shades. Characters with Four Eyes, Zero Soul are prone to this. Character Tics involving adjusting one's glasses — particularly by pushing them up the nose — has an alarming tendency to trigger this trope. Compare Malevolent Masked Men and Opaque Lenses. Can also be combined with a High-Class Glass for use by a Nazi Nobleman or Evil Aristocrat. |

Cloud biologist Dr. Claude Belgon in the beautiful gothic-steampunk animated short film The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello (Australia, 2005) is a textbook example of the creepy scientist with shiny glasses. In fact because all the characters have been rendered as layer-on-layer black silhouettes (in the way of Balinesian shadow puppets) with silvery highlights, all you get to see of his eyes are the white circles of his glasses against the black background of his head. | |

Dr. Bull from The Man Who Was Thursday by Chesterton indulges in this trope and with a good reason - without these sinister specs he looks like such a nice, jolly chap that he'd never pass as one of the bad guys he's supposed to be infiltrating. The glasses make him appear nearly inhuman. | |

Albert Wesker from Resident Evil does this a lot, although with Sinister Shades instead of normal glasses. Come 5, it's gotten even worse, as the Virus has apparently done a lot of good for Wesker in this case. He wears mirrored glasses to keep people from seeing his obviously-infected eyes, and the second Jill and Chris open fire, begins Flash Stepping around the room and dodging bullets like he just stepped right out of the Matrix. All without losing the scary shine. | |

Played for laughs in Persona 3 FES. In one of the new extra features for the original storyline, Shuji Ikutsuki's glasses do this whenever he thinks up one of his terrifyingly bad puns. This happens a lot. Also, when he goes into full-on Straw Nihilist slash A God Am I territory, his glasses do this too. It abruptly ceases being funny. Players familiar with this can spot the twist a mile away, as all but one of his evil mode pictures show up before he reveals his plan. | |

Tales of...: It is implied that Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss wears his glasses to protect the environment from his eyes. They flash often, especially in the anime adaptation. In both the game and anime, the only time you ever see both of Dist's eyes is when he's not wearing his glasses. Julius from Tales of Xillia 2 gets this from time to time, though he's not a bad guy. His Alternate Self that's encountered early on, however, tells a different story. |

Willy Watt develops these in his debut episode of Batman Beyond. The closing, silhouetted scene of him in juvenile hall just makes them scarier, to such a degree that it seems to be affecting the other inmates. (Well, okay, maybe it was really because he made a TV explode, but the glasses played a role in it.) The next time he shows up, he's ditched them because they don't really work with his new tough guy persona. | |

Occasionally used to great effect for Dr Harrison Wells in The Flash (2014). One occasion is when Barry agrees to focus on improving his speed, something that has been Dr Wells's goal from the beginning of the series and is heavily tied to his mysterious ulterior motives. The lightning Barry is producing while running on the treadmill reflects in his glasses, partially obscuring his eyes as he smiles to himself somewhat deviously. | |

In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Kristoph Gavin develops this◊ this when things cease going his way. When using Perceive on him during Turnabout Succession, you can look through his glasses and see his eyes shooting daggers at you. It's very, very unnerving. Also subverted with Winston Payne, who has shiny glasses, but is a spineless wimp that is easily rattled. His brother, Gaspen, uses shiny sunglasses instead, but is as much of a pushover as Winston. |

Dante's Legendary Dark Knight costume in the Devil May Cry series references the human form of his father Sparda, who has a one-way purple monocle over his left eye. In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, the costume's official artwork has the monocle obscuring his eye in white light, which contrasts the official artworks of the first and fourth games where the monocle is transparent. | |

The Haunting of Bly Manor Dani is haunted by visions of a shadowy man with shiny glasses that glow in the dark. It turns out that he's her memory of her late boyfriend, who was run over immediately after she broke up with him. The light reflected in his lenses are from the headlights of the truck that killed him. | |

El Goonish Shive: Tedd subverts this. His glasses look like this trope, but function more as Nerd Glasses. They once functioned as true Scary Shiny Glasses while he was ranting in full Mad Scientist mode about a new invention. His father, on the other hand, has nearly identical glasses and works as a The Men in Black. Even compared to the other The Men in Black he works with, he's shown to have an unnervingly clear picture of all the weirdness going on in Moperville and the surrounding areas. Tedd's father also demonstrates this when he's extremely angry and at risk of losing his temper. Luke, a newish character as of this strip, apparently activates his after being called gay by another card player. |

Secondary villain Mars from Broken Saints sports a pair of glowing red shades, which are appropriately knocked askew when he gets his ass kicked by the heroes. | |

In Villainous we see Flug get these in the ending of one of the villain orientation videos when he's explaining to Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls while he's strapped to a torture table in Flug's lab that the injection he's about to receive won't kill him, but he'll probably wish that it would. It's the first time we really see the reason why Flug works for Black Hat. | |

It is implied that Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss wears his glasses to protect the environment from his eyes. They flash often, especially in the anime adaptation. In both the game and anime, the only time you ever see both of Dist's eyes is when he's not wearing his glasses. | |

In an episode of The Batman, these were the only sign that Clark Kent wasn't Clark Kent, but Clayface posing as him. That and his terrible acting. | |

Never Satisfied: Tetsu, on several occasions. Typically it's to indicate their somewhat flat, detached demeanor, but it's just as frequently used to show things have gotten serious. Seiji gets this as well, when January finally pushes her unapologetic treatment of Sylas too far.note tfw you're so mad your eyes and mouth disappear |

The clever costume builder can achieve the effect in City of Heroes by combining the glasses costume part with the "glowing eyes" aura. | |

In Deep Secret, the normally mild-mannered Rupert's glasses are described as doing this at one point when he's especially angry at someone. | |

In Gravity Falls Ford's glasses do this in The Last Mabelcorn, making it unclear whether or not he is being possessed by Bill Cipher. Candy's glasses do this in Roadside Attraction, when Dipper is being cornered by all the girls he flirted with. |

Julius from Tales of Xillia 2 gets this from time to time, though he's not a bad guy. His Alternate Self that's encountered early on, however, tells a different story. | |
