Line 4:

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Elijah loves comics and desperately wants to be like the men he has spent his life collecting images of. Twelve years later, Samuel.L.Jackson is playing Nick Fury, a badass Superhero who is [[The Avengers|head of a team of badass superheroes]].

* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: Somewhat averted. While the "Realistic Superman" trope has become very prevalent in pop culture, this film gets a lot of praise for kick-starting it and is commonly viewed as being a good film released at the wrong time.

* [[Vindicated By History]]: When this film came out, superhero films were few and far between, and [[Deconstruction|deconstructing]] something so obscure seemed bizarre. Today superheroes dominate the box office and ''Unbreakable'' would fit right in.

** Double feature with ''[[Hancock]]'', anyone?

* [[The Woobie]]: Due to genetics being a crapshoot, Elijah has spent roughly a third of his life in a hospital bed. {{spoiler|In the end, he is revealed as a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]}}.
