I'm pretty sure their failing to eliminate the Warners and ending up imprisoned by King Salazar (albeit temporarily) counts as karma.

Added DiffLines:

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: It's established from the very start that King Salazar is a very unpopular monarch. Other nations disapproved of him seizing Warnerstock by force, and the economic sanctions that followed caused his royal coffers to dry up, which is why he begins taxing everyone in Warnerstock, which makes him even more unpopular. By the time the movie ends, even Salazar's own troops have turned against him, leaving him powerless to stop the Warners from literally booting him out of the palace.


Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: Salazar is pretty nasty to Plotz, Ralph, and the Goodfeathers, causing them all to eventually turn against him.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllAboutMe: King Salazar's attitude in general. When he, Plotz, and Ralph finish singing the line "the Wishing Star belongs to three", he adds, "Me, myself, and I."
