  • Basic Trope: A character is put in bandages as Fetish Fuel. * Straight: After an epic battle, Alice is seen in hospital with some bandages around her torso. * Exaggerated: * Alice, Bob, Claire, Danny and Ellie are all wearing nothing but bandages. * Alternatively: Alice is wearing so many bandages she could be mistaken for an unusually attractive mummy. * Downplayed: Alice is only wearing a tank top while a bandage is being put on her arm. * Justified: They've taken some pretty serious damage, the doctor's had to cut them out of their clothing to save their life and they haven't had a chance to get some spare clothing. * Inverted: Alice is usually Ms. Fanservice, but this stops when she's injured. * Subverted: Alice's bandages are bloody and her injuries are clearly horrific. * Double Subverted: Oh come on, this still won't stop some people. * Parodied: Alice stubs her toe. Cue shot of her wrapped head to toe in bandages. * Deconstructed: * Alice feels vulnerable wearing nothing but bandages. * A show plays it so that the bandages are covering extremely gruesome wounds and she is slowly dying; in other words, the show reminds us that extensive bandaging is not a good thing. * Reconstructed: * The fact that Danny's in a similar situation in the bed next to her makes up for it. * Alice's wounds aren't half as bad as her myriad bandages suggest; her doctor is just prone to Minor Injury Overreaction. * Zig Zagged: Alice's injury is treated with due seriousness, but later we get a good look at her bandaging up after a shower when she's nearly healed. * Averted: They live in the future, where medical technology has rendered bandages obsolete. * Enforced: "We need more Fan Service." "We'll give everyone a Shirtless Scene in hospital after the big fight." "That sounds a bit risque..." "Fine, we'll cover the girls up with bandages." * Lampshaded: "Doc, stock up on bandages. Alice and Claire are about to fight Lord Lacerator. * Invoked: Alice asks the doctor to cover her in bandages (but not too many) so she can laugh at Bob's reaction. * Defied: Alice has a Healing Factor. She doesn't need any bandages. * Discussed: "Alice! Alice!" "I'm fine..." "You'll be OK...hell you'll look pretty cute in bandages." * Conversed: "Alice has been injured?" "Awesome, she'll be in bandages at the end!" * Played For Laughs: A combination of this being a good time to relax, her injuries and the restrictive nature of her bandages temporarily turns Alice into a Cute Clumsy Girl. * Played For Drama: Alice insists she's fine, however the bandages make her look vulnerable causing her to be attacked by a mugger. She fights him off but reopens some of her wounds in the process and must be rushed back to hospital before bleeding to death. * Exploited: Bob decides to have Alice debrief their superiors after the fight, knowing they'll be distracted and not ask to many questions.
