* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In 1941 (after [[Adolf Hitler]] had established himself as a tyrannical conqueror, but before the true scope of the Holocaust had become public knowledge), the story "The Dictator's Reform" had a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of Hitler get taught a lesson by The Spirit, who showed him that people who have lived under free regimes will never stop fighting against oppressive conquerors. Hitler's response? "I ... I never thought of it in that way ... I ... I would have to kill all the once free people in the world before I can be ''absolute master!!''" In 1941, this is supposed to signify Hitler having an epiphany about how futile his goals are and pulling a [[Heel Face Turn]]. To later audiences, it seems uncomfortably close to what Hitler ''actually tried to do''. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Inspiring the Holocaust, Spirit]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] / [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Morgenstern (played by Stana Katic) is frequently told that she'll "make detective in no time." [[Castle|Yes. Yes she would]].
* [[Spiritual Licensee]]: To some, it feels an awful lot more like a movie of ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' rather than that of The Spirit, what with his running around narrating about "MY CITY!" and tortured metaphors.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] / [[Woolseyism|They Changed It Now Its Awesome]]: The healing factor. Take your pick.
