** Seems like the entire game as [[JustForPun a whole]] is one big ol' fuck you to the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.'''' For instance, the Coon's film franchise plan involves getting all the white guys several movies in Phase 1, but saving Token for Phase 3 and only introducing a female lead at the very end of the franchise. He also delgates Mysterion to Netflix, similar to how Marvel will only give their darkest superheroes tv series but not their own films.
** There's also a few jabs at the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'', such as advertising [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice the second film as a direct sequel]] when it's more about introducing new characters and skipping to the big team-up film before making films about the less popular heroes.

* RapidFireFisticuffs: The final ability for the Speedster is a flurry of punches that would make [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] proud.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Cartman's concept of the Coon and Friends cinematic universe causes half the team to split off and declare civil war because he puts more focus on certain characters than others (Mysterion gets a Netflix series while Token has to [[Film/BlackPanther wait until phase three]] to get his film).
