* PhlebotinumBomb: The Cataclyst is an artifact in the OASIS that can be used to wipe out every player on an entire planet. [[spoiler: It was used by Sorrento during the final battle, and he manages to detonate it, eliminating himself, Parzival (at first, since he luckily had an extra life coin), I-R0k and every other player (both Gunters and IOI) in the battlefield.]]

* BrokenAesop:
** One of the morals of the film is that you shouldn't play games to win, you should just play them for fun. However, if you lose in the OASIS, you "zero out" and lose all the money and items you've obtained. It gets worse since the OASIS currency is just as valuable as real-world money, meaning you can potentially lose all of your savings and go broke, as seen when Aunt Alice's boyfriend zeroes out and loses all of her savings. Additionally, Halliday left his fortune and control of the OASIS to whoever wins his [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame extremely dangerous contest]], which also conflicts with his "play for fun" message.
** Moreover the film ends with Halliday advising Wade to avoid his mistakes and find fulfillment in real life instead of video games, which Wade does by turning off the OASIS a few days every week so people will experience reality instead. Fair enough. But Wade found everything Halliday didn't (mainly a circle of close friends and a girlfriend) ''exactly because'' of his devotion to the game. It's the whole basis of his GondorCallsForAid speech.
