History Fanfic / AvengersInfiniteWars

* TakeThat: Although the author does incorporate a lot of elements from current Star Wars Canon, he certainly isn't above taking several joking as well as deadass serious, fuming potshots at them, especially concerning both the Sequels and aspects of the various TV series which he considers to be either utterly stupid or as being crafted to be outright insults towards the intelligence of Star Wars fans.
** Which is also the reason for almost none of the MCU's property from Phase 4 or 5, except for f.e. the Shang-Chi arc and Rockets backstory with the High Evolutionary, getting incorporated into the story any time soon. Creator/{{freemanwriter}} has made it ''very clear'' on where he stands with these movies and series: A warpath, not missing an opportunity to point out & tearing apart the growing discrepancies of the current MCU's concourse, be it within the franchise itself or among its present creators.

** Pietro [[spoiler:wields the recently deceased Ima-Gun Di's lightsaber to fight Grievous during the Battle of Kamino]].

* TakeThat: Upon hearing that Nar Shaddaa is like Coruscant but completely lawless and crime-ridden, Spidey can't help but quip "Sounds like Chicago".

** In the final battle [[spoiler:with Ultron, it's noted that every Avenger present got a chance to land a blow on him in some form, followed by their various Jedi allies]].

** Steve basically ends up giving one to the Jedi when he reveals that he is uncomfortable with the Order 'recruiting' young children, which the other Avengers agree with after he tells them about his discoveries, although Master T'ra Saa attempts to give Steve a better understanding of the Jedis' motives.

* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: In-narrative, the Avengers all thwart Sidious's plan to try and lure at least one of them to his side just by being themselves. After Steve, Scott and Sam introduce themselves to the Jedi Council, the other Avengers find their missing allies because each Avenger was acting to help others on the planet they arrived on, and the only Avenger found by Sidious's forces first ([[spoiler:Wanda Maximoff]]) would swiftly see through any lies he might use to win their allegiance, so it isn't worth the attempt.

* WrittenByTheWinners: A minor example; while on Onderon, Barriss recalls that this was one of the planets visited by Exar Kun prior to his fall to the Dark Side, but the planet's exact history with the Sith has been essentially erased from the Jedi archives, and very few people on the planet are aware of its dark history.

** [[spoiler:Victory... For Now]] (111-)

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Invoked when the Avengers [[spoiler:discuss the problems with just exposing Palpatine as the Sith Lord, as they both lack evidence of their claim right now and want to avoid causing potential collateral damage by confronting Palpatine without sufficient evidence]].

* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: Applies in principle when the Avengers discover the programming chips in the clones and the existence of Order 66; until they know more about the purpose of the chips and who might be responsible for them, they only tell their closest allies in the Senators and the Jedi about them to control the information until they have a plan to deal with the chips on a large scale.

* {{Magitek}}: Discussed; in order to [[spoiler:deal with Ultron, one part of the plan involves essentially creating a mystically-enhanced computer virus]].

** At least Matt, Peter and T'Challa have explicitly acknowledged that the world will never be the same even if they can get back to Earth, T'Challa contemplating how Wakanda will have to open up and Peter wondering if he should even bother with a secret identity given the obvious issues of trying to explain how Peter Parker and Spider-Man vanished and returned at the same time. [[spoiler:When they actually get back to Earth, Peter visits his old school only to inform Ned and others that he's returned but makes it clear he'll be getting his GED rather than going back to regular education, with Steve making it clear that Peter is now an Avenger even if he doesn't explicitly reveal that Peter is Spider-Man]].

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Wenwu's death is way more tragic incomparison to his canon counterpart. Upon realizing he was tricked by the Dweller In Darkness and being mortally wounded, he can only apologize to his children over ruinning their family and pushing them away before reuniting with his wife's spirit and leaving the world for good.]]

* GoKartingWithBowser: After defeating what they call [[spoiler:the "Asshole Triumvirate" (composed of Pre Vizsla, Prince Xizor and Orson Krennic), the Guardians of Galaxy, the Ravagers, the Protectors and all their allies go to a victory party... with the the triumvirate's supplier, Ulysses Klaue, who bonds with Peter Quill over Terran music.]]

** After [[spoiler:Ultron's attack on Kamino, Palpatine reflects that Order 66 is now basically useless; even if the war can resume after Ultron's defeat and the Republic can rebuild its army through conscription, there won't be enough clones to overwhelm the Jedi when he gives the order, as other soldiers will be able to at least try to protect the Jedi from the clones' unprovoked attack]].
