Line 18:
* [[Broken Base]]: The [[Focus Group Ending]] has practically split the fandom into two separate ones.
* [[Ear Worm]]: The musical contains among the most memorable songs inspired by 1950's gospel and Motown movement in Broadway history, and nearly all of them are catchy.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The original ending was faithful to the stage musical, with the classic Greek Tragedy arc: Seymour kills his enemy, kills his father-figure, kills his love, then kills himself, and then gigantic Audrey II's go on a [[Attack of the 50
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Seymour killed two people (he let Orin die despite making it clear that he could have helped him and he backed Mushnik into the plant) and considered going even further (he signed the contracts in "The Meek Shall Inherit", implicitly agreeing to kill others in the future. This is made clearer in the play where the song is extended, but the actions remain the same in the film.) but he gets away with absolutely no punishment whatsoever-Audrey likely never even learns that he is a murderer. Audrey II is a [[Karma Houdini]] in the original ending as well, but that is treated as a [[Downer Ending]] rather than a [[Happily Ever After]], so that would be a case of [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]].
** [[Your Mileage May Vary]]: It can be argued that Seymour {{spoiler|finally standing up to and destroying the plant thus preventing the destruction of the human race}} pretty much makes up for the world being less one sadistic dentist (which WASN'T his fault, despite intentions to the contrary) and one greedy, albeit somewhat kind, shopkeep (which may not have been entirely on purpose whatever the plant said).
