* LighterAndSofter: Downplayed. It's still ''very'' much a Creator/JamesGunn project with a lot off gore and off-color BlackComedy but it's also not as common as Film/TheSuicideSquad likely due to working with more TV guidelines.

** Music as an universal CommonalityConnection. Several scenes have different characters overcoming the differences between them and forming emotional bonds over listing to music together. From young Chris rocking out with his brother in a flashback as they listen to their record player, to Peacemaker and Amber, who are otherwise two complete strangers, starting to aggressively flirt when they find that they share a common taste in bands, to the team, who are always squabbling with each other, coming together in an actual display of team spirit and just having fun with each other when they discover that they all quite like Music/HanoiRocks.

* InformedAttribute: Bordering on Main/CharacterShilling, as everyone [[spoiler: talks of Adebayo as she has "a talent for this" but throughout the series she fails in every single thing she tries, apart from her marksmanship skills in the finale. She barely convinces the couple to point Auggie as their kidnapper, fails to talk Peacemaker out of speaking to his father, misjudges pratically every situation and is completely way over her head in anything related to the mission to the point she even messes up a briefing by including a nude of her wife. Even her talking Vigilante into murdering Auggie isn't really her doing, as Vigilante already hated Peacemaker's father long before and wouldn't take much convincing into carrying it out, given his own views on killing bad guys. Even then, it only brings more problems. As for her success in planting the diary, nothing Harcourt or even Economos couldn't pull it off, and again, only brings more problems to their mission.]]
