* With Patricia raising the number of The Horde members who believe in The Beast's cause from three out of twenty-four to twelve out of twenty-four, The Horde is more evenly [[JustForPun split]] than ever.

* For all their manipulation and stamping out of comic book tropes, the Clover Group embodies a superhuman-verse trope themselves - groups of supposedly "normal" people prejudiced against those with powers who [[Comicbook/CivilWar try to control them,]] or [[ComicBook/XMen exterminate them, or force them to hide from the world]]. Despite all their efforts to ignore it, their world was always a comic-book world.

* With Patricia raising the number of Horde members from three to twelve out of twenty-four, Kevin Wendell Crumb is more evenly [[JustForPun split]] than ever.

* There's a lot of headscratching about the superheroes will always give rise to supervillains, because Mister Glass doesn't fit the Clover Group's professed pattern, but he does: he's the supervillain that was given rise by The Clover Group. It took a lot longer than their time frame expected, but Mister Glass wouldn't have had to engage in all those acts of terrorism looking for someone else like him if the Clover Group hadn't been erasing them for all of history.

* Dennis complaining about the pants being ruined when Kevin has been shot is a classic example of skewed priorities. But consider that Dennis was the one who transitioned to the Beast for the first time. Meaning the shirtless Beast running around on all fours and getting blood everywhere is wearing his pants. Dennis must expect his pants to be ruined everytime he takes the light after the Beast.

* The whole movie can be seen as "Epic of Gilgamesh" retold or repeated in the modern age, with the Overseer playing the role of Gilgamesh and The Beast playing the role of Enkidu. Even the hero name "The Overseer" tells of what the job of the king mostly is, the king oversees things and metes out justice. In ancient times, the Overseer might have become the King, Conan the Barbarian style, on his natural abilities alone if it were the world of might makes right and it would be one of his duties to bring justice to people and punish wrong doers, possibly by beating them up. In modern times, there are fewer Kings and society does not look kindly to people enforcing their own justice. On the other side of the coin, Enkidu is described as half man half beast which was terrorizing the countryside and was made to come to his humanity and to the light of civilization by a woman, a priestess of Ishtar (Patricia "brings Beast to the light" in the movie. Her name is spoken like Pa-trisha and in the real world often shortened like Trish or Trisha, the latter of which is anagram of Ishtar. He is sent to the city of Ur, fights Gilgamesh and they destroy a lot of the city in their battle. Once they realize nobody is a clear winner or stronger than other, they team up and have many adventures together. In fact, that Epic, one of the oldest in the world, might have been how ancient conspiracy in that world started! With common people getting sick of people with supernatural abilities ruining their day and deciding to stop them. The point of the Epic, the ultimate conclusion, is that everybody is mortal, even the mighty creatures such as Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Thus, the conspiracy has learned their lesson well: you see two "supers" fighting, you stop them before they settle their differences and start adventuring together!
