Arachne may not have been played for laughs, but her minions certainly were. And again, as soon as Asura's on screen, the comedy stops completely, to the point that even Excalibur got serious. And TV Tropes haven't abused it that much. Besides, you can hardly call it abuse considering, as I said before, they're the ones who invented it. If you want real abuse, look at their page for anti-heroes. They didn't invent that term at all and yet they abuse it so much it's almost scary.
