Misuse. It is never suggested that farming Pando caused any trouble, therefore Searcher did not "instigate" anything.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Searcher farms Pando, which appears to be a plentiful and reliable power source [[spoiler:but is actually a virus that is destroying the planet, or rather the giant creature everyone lives on]].

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: [[spoiler:The purpose of a heart is to pump blood and other fluids throughout the body using its contractions. However, the creature's cells, including its equivalent of blood cells, are self-propelled and autonomous, not even requiring veins to contain them, so it's not clear what the point of its heart is.]]

Most notably, [[spoiler:the creature has symbiotic organisms that can instantaneously regrow dead tissues, its "blood" appears to be giant schools of flatworm-adjacent cells, it's possible to travel directly from a hole in its back to its lungs to its stomach to its heart, and its heart lies in a cavity near an opening that is also near its face. Despite this, the end of the film depicts it as turtle-like when seen from space]].

* ContrivedCoincidence: Mere moments after arriving in the subterranean world of Avalonia, an environment the size of an entire ''continent'', Searcher encounters his long-lost father.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: A plane and a hover-bike both crash in huge, fiery explosions, even though they're electric vehicles that have no combustible fuel.

* ParentalSexualitySquick: Ethan is grossed out whenever he sees Searcher and Meridian show affection to each other. At the same time, Jaeger annoys his son when Searcher asks rhetorically how Jaeger is his father, by taking the statement literally and starting TheTalk, leading Searcher to tell him to stop talking.

* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Searcher remembers his father as obsessive and uncaring, focusing on his goals and adventuring lifestyle rather than listening to his son about what he wanted out of life. Now that he's an adult, he puts his family first, and wants nothing but for Ethan to live the safe life of a farmer...unaware that he's doing to Ethan exactly what his father did to him. [[spoiler: Ethan ultimately [[CallingTheOldManOut calls them both out for this]]. Ultimately, Searcher plays this trope straight by listening to what Ethan wants and encouraging him to lead the life he wants.]]
