* FixFic: Is an interesting example in that the story almost tricks you into thinking this was subverted back in Chapter 3, only for the antagonist to literally force it on all of the heroes in Chapter 16 ([[spoiler: by transporting them all to the part of the movie's timeline right before the invasion of Apokolips happened]]) whether he intended them to go through with it or not. [[spoiler:The fact the story features Jason Todd as the Red Hood and the original Wally West also ignores the WordOfGod that the Robin identity went directly from Dick to Damian in the DCAMU and the Kid Flash in ''The Judas Contract'' was a young Barry.]]

** In addition, literally any film made after ''Apokolips War'' is basically outright ignored in this fic, with any notion that they are the same universe being debunked in-fic during Chapters 17 & 18 which states they function as a separate but derivative universe instead.

* AdaptationalWimp: The Paradooms. In the film they appeared in, they were capable of killing most of the cast. By the time of Advent Solaris though, with their [[KrptoniteFactor weakness for kryptonite]] exposed, they are reduced to literally crying in ''fear'' and ''agony'' as the heroes they once were able to slaughter make short work of them. Even the [[spoiler: Changelings]] are easily able to tear through their ranks, the one who [[spoiler: ripped Starfire in half]] being EatenAlive while powerless to stop it's relentless devourers. Once Darkseid's trump card, they are reduced to little more than a joke when pit against even the Reach's larger warships which simply blast them out of the sky with lasers as if they are little more than mosquitos. It's highly implied that their weakness to kryptonite is why [[spoiler: Mephiles]] considers them to be a ''failure'' and ''waste of time'' to produce. Simply put, they are given ''no'' respect.

* AdaptationalWimp: The Paradooms, who in the film they appeared in were capable of killing the majority of the film's superhero cast, are ''majorly'' downgraded in this fic. While early on it is shown that Barry Allen is at least traumatized by the memory of them, when they actually do start physically appearing come Chapter 18 they are described as screaming in ''agony'' at being faced off with by the [[spoiler: Changeling]] swarm. The one who [[spoiler: ripped Starfire in half during the film]] is also EatenAlive while ''screaming in immense pain''. It's also pointed out that once the heroes (and other villains) are aware they are made with Superman's DNA and thus they would also be [[KryptoniteFactor weak to Kryptonite]], all they need is kryptonite and the Paradooms are no longer a serious threat to them. It's highly implied this is why [[spoiler: Mephiles]] considers them to be ultimately a failure and waste of time to produce.

* BuriedAlive: [[spoiler: Jessica Cruz]] attempts to actually bury ''Lois Lane'' alive in the Metropolis cemetery, though yes Superman does naturally interrupt the procedure.



* ReasonYouSuckSpeach: Lois Lane is given one by [[spoiler: Jessica Cruz]] during the confrontation between the two in Chapter 22; she is blamed for her inaction in ''Apokolips War'', sending entire teams of heroes to their deaths during the attacks on the reapers after waiting two entire years without doing much of anything - as well as being blamed (albeit without real justification) for what happened to Oa in the film. She is especially confronted about how her future self could just throw Conner away like that, though present day Lois asserts she views Conner as a family member (at least on Clark's side).

** The fic itself is a glorified take that to the ''Apokolips War'' film itself, drawing connections to it and one of the most poorly received video games within recent memory as well as dedicating one entire chapter to [[spoiler: undoing it's ending]] and another to [[spoiler: basically remaking it's entire plot]]. It's no secret that the author does not think highly of the film nor the films made sense.

* MortonsFork: It is revealed that in ''Apokolips War'', Darkseid was basically running rampant across the universe due to the Lanterns and New Genesis fighting amongst each other ([[spoiler:At least until Darkseid went to Oa, anyway]]) and being unable to impede him; Barda via her flashback essentially states he was indeed going to invade Earth ''anyway'' and purposely made himself appear vulnerable to the league in order to bait them into a trap on Apokolips. Which, as we know, ended up successful. But they would have potentially been screwed anyway as the implication is Darkseid would have attacked earth eventually regardless.

Which, as we know, ended up successful. But they (which was successful). ''However'', given that Barda in Chapter 21 spilled the beans about [[spoiler: radion]] it is possible the heroes would have potentially been screwed anyway as the implication is Darkseid would have attacked earth eventually regardless.stood a chance had [[spoiler: Mephiles & Granny Goodness]] not intervened.

* HijackedByGanon: Due to this being an adaptation of the Sonic 06 storyline, it was inevitable that Mephiles would hijack the main villain title from Eggman. He does it rather early too, literally the chapter right after Eggman shows up regardless of what site you read the fic on.

* HijackedByGanon: Due to this Two examples, both from the first and second half of the story:
** The first half example: As a result of the first half
being an a focused adaptation of the Sonic 06 storyline, 06, it was an inevitable conclusion that Mephiles would was going to hijack the main villain title role from Eggman. He does it rather early too, literally in the chapter right immediately after Eggman shows up regardless of Eggman's arrival no matter what site you read you're reading this on.
** The second half of
the fic on.storyline, which is more DC focused, sees Darkseid launch an attempt to hijack the villain role from Mephiles beginning in Chapter 21. We are currently waiting to see how it goes for him.

** The Paradooms are routinely insulted throughout the story at various intervals - the narration of the story itself remarks about how the creatures don't deserve existence, and later in Chapter 13 a certain big bad that is technically their own original creator remarks that they ended up being a failure while in the same breath stating making them serve as his elite military force is something he views as a mistake.
