{{quote|'''Berserker Darkling''': I want to kill someone.
'''Gunner Darkling''': I am unfamiliar with the concept. ''[Attacks a mook.]'' Maybe not, I guess. }}
* [[Bloody Hilarious]]: The Darklings are [[Comedic Sociopathy|psychopathic]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloudcuckoolanders]]s.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: More than anything, one gets the impression that the Darkness simply ''does not understand'' how people work -- physicallywork—physically or mentally -- beyondmentally—beyond their capacity for receiving and causing suffering.
{{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}}.
Line 64:
* [[Hell Is War]]: The Otherworld in the first game is a nightmarish, unending version of [[World War I]] that Anthony Estacado is stuck in.
* [[Hollywood Darkness]]: Averted in the first game; areas without light can go completely pitch-black (but using your powers lets you see in the dark.) Played straight in the sequel; "dark" areas are so well-lit it's sometimes hard to figure out where the lights are at a glance.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: It is implied that the Darkness [[Dark Is Not Evil|wasn't originally evil]], but having to deal with human hosts for millennia (what with their wars, and greed and sickness) [[Humanity Is Insane|has driven it insane]]. [[Unreliable Expositor|Though this is learned in the Darkness' own realm, so it could be just another]] [[Mind Screw]] on its part...
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Jackie does not reload his pistols or SMGs. He drops them and pulls out new ones. This is shown when you notice different types of pistols in his hands, or when one of your SMGs suddenly has a silencer. This trope is played straight when you realize that each "clip" in your arsenal is actually a different ''gun'', and you can hold more than 2 dozen pistols and SMGs ''in your coat''.
** Then again, it's most likely justified here, as Jackie may well be keeping the Darkness under his coat, providing him with an actual pocket dimension to store said guns.
