Line 29:
{{quote|'''The Darkness''': "Jackie, I fixed your broken head ball."}}
** Hell, the Darkness expected him to be pleased after it forced him to {{spoiler|[[Forced to Watch|watch Jenny be murdered]]}} because this would "make him stronger" and it seemed utterly bewildered when he chose instead {{spoiler|to kill himself}}.
* [[Black and Black Morality]]: Johnny lampshades this in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Run5PYOy5ZQ Vendettas trailer]. Jackie might have the moral high ground, but that's damning with praise considering some of the stuff he does and the company he keeps.
{{quote|'''Johnny:''' ''Evil is '''evil'''. Face it, we're not talking about soda pop here. There's no 'sugar free' option.''}}
* [[Border Patrol]]: By all means, head directly into the subway tunnels. [[Too Dumb to Live|See what happens]].
Line 127:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Butcher Joyce barely gets screen time and only optional dialogue, whereas he had a mission devoted to him in the original game.
* [[Downer Ending]]: In the end, {{spoiler|Jackie goes to Hell to save Jenny's soul. And in doing so, releases the Angelus, the force of light opposed to the Darkness which needs a female host. Specifically, Jenny. And both Jenny and the Angelus agree that Jackie needs to be left in Hell, and proceed to do so.}}
* [[Easy Levels, Hard Bosses]]: Well, the boss fights aren't especially hard, but the fact that you can't heal your health in many of them (due to there not being any Mooks around and therefore no hearts to eat) does create a significant amount of challenge, especially if you've been going through the game by chaining executions together to constantly heal.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Brotherhood has a number of special units, including guys armed with floodlights, armored guys with energy whips that can disarm you of your weapons, knights in riot armor equipped with bulletproof shields, and [[Superpowered Mooks]] with enhanced armor and health who can [[Flash Step]] all over the place using Darkness power.
* [[Evil Cripple]]: Victor, leader of The Brotherhood. Despite the fact that he walks with leg-braces, he can simply [[Flash Step]] with the power of The Darkness.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: As in the original.
Line 150:
** [[The Lancer]]: Inugami, master swordsman and part of an entire bloodline of [[The Atoner|Atoners.]]
** [[The Smart Guy]]: J.P. Dummond; physician, [[Witch Doctor]], Darkness Scholar, and wielder of the [[Magic Staff|Midnight Stick]]. For good measure, he's one of the more eloquent team-members.
** [[The Big Guy]]: Jimmy, in spades. A [[Violent Glaswegian]] with [[Blood Knight]] tendencies. If his backstory is to be believed, he simply found his [[An Axe to Grind|Darkness-empowered axe]] and has been making a living off it ever since.
** [[The Chick]]: Shoshanna, a Mossad agent who [[Hates Being Touched]]. The only one of the group with a strictly-ranged Darkness weapon in the form of a handheld double-barreled shotgun. Fights [[Guns Akimbo]] as a result.
** Jackie and his lieutenants also function as this, for the most part:
*** [[The Hero|The]] ([[Anti-Hero|Anti-]]) [[The Hero|Hero]]: Again, Jackie.
Line 173:
* [[King Mook]]: Most of the bosses in the Vendetta co-op mode are versions of regular enemies with lots more health.
* [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere]]: [[Weakened by the Light|Light]] again. The Brotherhood has been fighting the Darkness for centuries, and have gotten good at exploiting this: at one point, they booby trap a chokepoint with at least a dozen floodlights, incapacitating Jackie and allowing him to be captured.
** The collectible Relics show that there are actually a surprising number of artifacts capable of harming and defeating the Darkness (or at least the Darkness Host), despite him being a walking [[Humanoid Abomination]] [[Physical God]].
* [[Large Ham]]: The Darkness itself, dear ''God''. Fittingly, the second game has it literally [[Chewing the Scenery]] on occasion (figuratively...all the time). The (cockney?) British Darkling as well, though not ''quite'' as much.
** The Vendettas characters definitely qualify, with lines such as: "This pain tastes... sweet", "THE HOUND FEELS NO PAIN!!" and "YOU MEN AND YOUR LITTLE TOYS!!", among others.
