comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Jebus, by contrast, is shown to be a self-centered dictator rather than a Well-Intentioned Extremist looking to bring order like he's usually depicted as. |

Adaptational Heroism: Hank is usually portrayed as a violent sociopath and a Nominal Hero at best, but here he's more of a straight-up freedom fighter. |

Why Am I Ticking?: A two-person example. After killing Hank, Jebus hears his body ticking and lifts open his coat, revealing a time bomb and a note reading "be Alive". |

| | Madness: Ascend (Web Animation) / int_863fa679 |
comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The Sheriff only appears in the propaganda video for Jebus' regime and never shows up in person, so as such we don't know what happened to him. Parodied with the Auditor, who doesn't appear until the very end of the credits, where he reveals he was in the bathroom for the entire thing. |

Art Shift: While most of the animation is done in a similar style to the original, including its the trademark red and gray color palette, when Hank reaches the top of the tower, he comes across an area with vibrant greenery and a bright blue sky, colors you rarely if ever see in a Madness animation. |

Non-Standard Character Design: All of the characters in the propaganda video are shown to have faces, instead of the facial cross Madness characters usually have. The end of the video implies their current look is due to them being exposed to the factory's pollution. True to the source material, Jebus has blood red eyes. So does Hank. |
