Line 28:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: the office scene ends with Jensen (Chris Evans) claiming to possess [[Fantastic Four (film)|telekinetic]] [[Push|powers]].
** Which he received from a "[[Captain America: The First Avenger|secret government experiment]]".
** Might be more of a coincidence, but at the start of the film you get a close-up shot of aflag star and Jensen talking about how he died for this country.
* [[Adorkable]]: Jensen (at least in the movie).
* [[Anti-Hero]]: The majority the losers Are Type IV, while Aisha is a Type V.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]
Line 59:
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Bad Men Love Their Extended Families]]: Movie Wade is not pleased with being ordered to kill some random team he assembled to take down the Losers for this reason.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: The Losers aren't evil, but they do kill for a living, and even they are completely unwilling to allow 25 children to be killed while trying to take out a target.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: [[Zoe Saldana]] is fuckin' ''hot''.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Jason Patric as Max seems to get the idea, but doesn't fully exploit it. Shame.
* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Roque learns not to fuck with Clay in close quarters.}}
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Colonel Franklin Clay.
** [[The Lancer]]: Roque. {{spoiler|Also [[The Starscream]]}}
Line 69:
** [[The Chick]]: Pooch.
** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Aisha.
* [[Female Gaze]]: The women on the floor Jensen's elevator accidentally stops on while his, ahem, [[Harvey Birdman|dangly parts]] are exposed. They can't be blamed, though: Chris Evans is [[Mr. Fanservice]] to the umpteenth degree.
* [[Finger Gun]]: [[Adorkable|Jensen]] in the last part of the movie's office infiltration scene.
** It's in the book, too.
Line 77:
* [[Gun Porn|Gun AND Knife Porn]]: What the Losers are wagering while playing Liar's Poker.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Max was originally created to ensure and protect American dominance through less-than-legal means, but during a [[Villainous Breakdown]] he tries to order a nuclear strike on Washington.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: (In the movie, obviously.) Clay is played by [[Supernatural (TV series)|John Winchest--]]um, [[Watchmen|The Comedi-]]er, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
** [[Zoe Saldana]] as [[Avatar (film)|a native girl who hates American soldiers]], anyone?
** Max used to be concerned with ''not'' [[Speed 2|blowing up a cruise ship...]]
** Jensen is in his third movie [[Fantastic Four|based on]] [[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World|a comic]] ([[Captain America (comics)|with a fourth one coming up]]).
** Hey, it's [[The Wire|Stringer Bell]], er [[Luther|John Luther]], um, [[Thor (film)|Heimdall]]... yeah, Idris Elba must get this a lot these days.
** Hey, Wade is [[CSI: Miami|John Hagen]] and [[Lights Out|Patrick 'Lights' Leary]] all rolled into one, only more evil.
Line 129:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Jensen [[The Matrix|sneaking through an office, even saying "I need an exit."]]
* [[Shut Up, Kirk]]: In the book, Clay is stalking Wade through a hangar, ranting about how he knew it would come down to the two of them. Wade says "You talk too much" and shoots him through the shoulder.
* [[Single-Minded Twins]]: {{spoiler|Max}}
* [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Aisha is suspected of being one initially, but then it turns out Roque is really [[The Starscream]] and Aisha goes all [[Big Damn Heroes]] on them. In the book the same thing happens at the start, but then right at the series conclusion she reveals that she's been one all along, and now they've served their purpose she doesn't need to save them.}}
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: {{spoiler|Aisha bailing out the Losers with an RPG. More like Regular Girl HUGE Gun, really.}}
