OTOH, Trek itself made a joke out of that in the 4th movie, when Spock tries to learn how to swear. "These are not the hell your whales!"

Since you didn’t give a genre/art style

We aren’t animated

We aren’t superheroes

We can’t turn into cats- a whisker away

We aren’t vampires- twilight

We don’t fight demons- Shadowhunters
