Line 4:
* '''Exaggerated''': Stacy hates and fears Supers for personal reasons and her oppressive ideas for registration border on [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]. However, this is a [[Crapsack World]] where [[Smug Super|Smug Supers]] [[Beware the Superman|freely abuse their powers]] and treat [[Muggles|normal people]] like her as expendable playthings.
* '''Justified''': The work is meant to be ambiguous and make you examine how a [[Super Registration Act]], if implemented, could work or backfire.
* '''Inverted''': Heather, our [[Designated Hero|Designated Heroine]], is revealed to have superpowers herself, and is a [[ItsIt's All About Me|self-absorbed]] [[Jerkass]] or a supervillainess who was afraid of being regulated.
* '''Subverted''': Stacy's points seems perfectly fine at first glance, but later it's revealed that her most compelling argument is flat out wrong or misunderstood.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...However, closer examination and [[Fridge Logic]] enable the audience to see the matter from her point of view and realize that one of her lesser arguments was even more relevant than her primary one.
