* {{Deconstruction}}: Of FirstContact and aliens in general:
** The aliens aren't portrayed as [[AliensAreBastards absolute bastards]] or [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens godlike]]. They can make mistakes just like anyone else, and the whole reason the webcomic even happens is because [[spoiler: Gharr falsified his report on humanity so he can explore Earth]]. Likewise, humanity aren't portrayed as [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters monstrous]], [[HumansAreMorons morons]], or [[HumansAreSpecial special in some way]]. Sure, their [[PunyEarthlings technology and population doesn't come close to that of the Alliance]], but most of them are ''not'' stupid or unreasonably aggressive. The alien shuttle was shot down because the Major thought it was a ''human'' aircraft making a re-entry. All in all, the conflict comes from a series of misunderstandings rather than malicious intentions on either side.

* InternalReveal: When Gharr wakes up for the second time, he notes that he doesn't remember what happened during the crash and thinks that his team is still alive. In Chapter 4, after he spends around a week in-universe learning our language to communicate with Dan, Val, and Mark, they finally tell him about how his shuttle was shot down and that he's likely the only survivor (albeit after Dan lets it slip during one of his rants.)

* BoomerangBigot: Dan is deeply unimpressed by humanity's moral fiber, and is convinced that other intelligent species would be better people pretty much by definition.
