Line 1: {{work}} ~~=== Movie ===~~ * [[Crazy Awesome]]: Attacking a guild of assasins with a trash truck full of peanut-butter-smeard bomb-rats? Shooting a bullet so that it flies along a CIRCULAR WALL and kills everybody standing along it, including the shooter? {{spoiler\|Sloan's}} "X marks the spot" death from LITERALLY miles away during Wesley's "this is (not) me" lecture"? * [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Danny Elfman]] does the soundtrack, and even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leJAPiaCx2c sings]! * [[Fridge Logic]]: There's a gun that can shoot from around corners so you don't have to get out from behind cover. This initially seems very useful, except for the fact that the guy it's being used against can curve bullets around corners anyway. * [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Shoot THIS motherfucker!" * [[Nightmare Fuel]]: A garbage truck chock-freaking-full of the {{spoiler\|aforementioned exploding rats}}. * [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Wesley's boss may be verbally abusive, incredibly obnoxious, and a poor manager, but she ''does'' have a point in that Wesley should perhaps be ''doing his job'' rather than surfing the internet. * [[Wangst]]: Everything until [[Angelina Jolie]] first appears. Fortunately, it's [[Played for Laughs]]. ~~=== Comicbook ===~~ * [[Complete Monster]]: A ''lot'' of the villains are this, with Mr. Rictus as perhaps the most obvious example. {{spoiler\|Wesley himself}} becomes one by the end of the book; an amoral [[Jerkass]] who thinks nothing of comitting even the most heinous crimes. * [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: {{quote\| {{spoiler\|'''Wesley:'''}} "Can you believe I raped an A-list celebrity and it didn't even make the news? That's how deep The Fraternity goes, my friend."}} * [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: Our protagonists are hedonistic rapists, murderers and torturers fighting one whose sole difference is his willingness to hurt children. The only thing you could cheer for is for a [[Mutual Kill]]. * [[Darkness Induced Audience Apathy]] * [[Evil Is Sexy]]: The Fox, who despite being a heartless murderer, would probably give you the night of your life. Before, you know, killing you. * [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The Fox is intentionally made out to be similar to Catwoman and her appearance was modeled after [[Halle Berry]]. Guess who ended up playing Catwoman ([[In Name Only]]) in [[Catwoman (~~Film~~film)\|the film]] released the following year? * [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Probably [[Readings Are Off the Scale\|over nine thousand]]. * [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: A lot of the main characters' problems would have been solved if Seltzer (who runs ''two continents'' to everyone's one) just let Rictus run South America.
