First Squad: Difference between revisions

* [[The End or Is It]]: {{spoiler|Von Wolff escapes with his sword.}}

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Nadya is the embodiment of this trope. She's ostensibly an elite soldier, but not once in the movie does she defeat or even harm a foe by her own power. Contrast this with the number of times she runs from danger or is rescued by a male comrade. {{spoiler|Not even death itself can prevent her squadmates from doing her job for her.}}

** Leonya/Leo ([[The Hero]]--but not really)

** Zena ([[The Lancer]])

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]

* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Zena's [[Weapon of Choice]] is a flamethrower.

* [[Language of Magic]]

* [[Magitek]]: The astro-radar, among others.

* [[The Masquerade]]: Twice. The Red Army is trying to hide its own paranormal program, headed by Below, and the SS is trying to hide its infiltrators in the Red Army.

* [[My Life Flashed Before My Eyes]]: Provides the framework for the trauma-induced [[Flash Back]].

* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: The [[Faceless Goons]] aspect is even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].

* [[The Only One]]: Nadya is the only one who can [[Back From the Dead|bring the First Squad back]].

* [[Psychic Powers]]: All of the First Squad are telepathically linked.

* [[Ramp Jump]]

* [[Zeppelins From Another World|Semi-rigid Airships From Another World]]

* [[She Fu]]

* [[War Is Hell]]: On multiple levels--the [[World War II|Eastern Front]] is hell all the time, and then there's an actual hell of sorts.

* [[Warrior Heaven]]: The Gloomy Valley, or the Valley of the Dead in some translations.
