* {{Zeerust}}: To a modern audience, the idea that television is the primary medium by which media influences the human mind seems quite antiquated, what with the rise of the Internet and social media. The potential remake of ''Videodrome'' addresses this issue by using the Internet and nano-technology as the means by which society is controlled. Television ''itself'' has also evolved beyond signal broadcasts since the rise of cable. Those adorable Betamax cassettes and [=VCRs=] really sweeten the deal, not to mention the UsefulNotes/Atari2600 Max owns.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: Barry Convex may be a clear bad guy, but Bianca O'Blivion is no saint either. She uses Max just as Barry did, and the only difference is that she shows a ''little'' remorse, and that her actions seem to be in self-defense. [[spoiler: She still uses him to kill her enemies and drive Max to suicide.]]
