Millvale/Tropes



Millvale is a Paramount/Nickelodeon franchise created by Xavier Shaquille. It is centered on the High Fantasy genre and takes place in the 15th century. The franchise focuses on a trio called the Fellows; Xavier the Red, Sir Cedryc, and Braden the Archer; who are the eponymous land's sworn protectors.

The entire franchise was made with inspiration from The Lord of the Rings, especially with its characters. In other cases, it serves as a spiritual animated take on the franchise.

 * Bittersweet Ending / Downer Ending: Used as cliffhangers for its story arcs.
 * Darker and Edgier: Unlike any other Nicktoons franchise, fitting given its genre, this franchise is with more serious content and nightmarish locations. The creator even claims "it wasn't meant to be a comedy franchise".
