• The exact nature of the crew of the Cygnus. Lobotimized by Reinhardt into mindless, subservient drones who can only continue to perform their tasks aboard the ship... And as the Cygnus plummets into the black hole, Maximilian is seen looming over Reinhardt and somehow fusing with him. The last we see of either character is Reinhardt's eyes darting madly to and fro from within Maximilian's visor, undeniably mad, as the new entity rules over the wreckage of the Cygnus --and its mindless, but entirely innocent crew-- in Hell. And one wonders where Event Horizon got its inspiration from...
  • Then there is Maximilian's execution of Durant. Literally gave me nightmares.
  • Maximillian, just by himself, is a perfect example. Between the whirly-blades, immunity to lasers, some lasers of his own, a single glowing red eye with a particularly intimidating furrowed shape, the menacing hum of the servos as he moves, and the way he just keeps coming while completely ignoring terrain, and eventually engulfs his own creator and presides over hell itself, how could you not have nightmares for years afterwards?
  • In fact, Reinhardt even says: "Protect me from Maximillain!" after Durant's death.
