Dangerverse YMMV
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Which is not helped by the massive amounts of Grey-and-Gray Morality which abound.
- Ensemble Dark Horse:
- Dr. Death Defying and Show Pony. Possibly the Little Girl as well.
- In the comics, Red and Blue, the two porno droids, are getting a lot of fame for their tragic story.
- Epileptic Trees: This place
has coverage on what's been going on. - Fan Nickname:
- For Korse, "Sir Bald of Evil". Draculoid tends to get shortened to "Drac". Dangercar for the Trans-Am.
- The entire universe seems to have been dubbed the "Dangerverse".
- Harsher in Hindsight: In the wake of My Chemical Romance's break-up, the following lines from Goodnite, Dr. Death are particularly harsh:You may be goneBut out here in the desertYour shadow lives on without you
- Ho Yay: Many fans interpret the relationship between Dr. Death Defying and Show Pony this way. Also, in the song "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back", the lyrics, "I'm the only friend that makes you cry/ you're a heart attack in black hair dye/ so just save yourself and I'll hold them back tonight," are sung. Considering Jet Star and the Kobra Kid are already dead at this point, and considering that the lyrics are being sung by Gerard Way, whose alter-ego is Party Poison, and considering Frank Iero's character Fun Ghoul has dyed-black hair, this is interpreted as ho-yay between Party Poison and Fun Ghoul by some fans.
- Moment of Awesome: The whole concept, but Korse's way of raising his gun after coming out of the elevator in the "SING" video comes to mind.
- Narm Charm:
- The "Na Na Na" video and "Art is the Weapon" trailer.
- In general, the whole concept. But that's definitely not a bad thing.
- "Stop Having Fun" Guys: The sentiment of a lot of fans (especially on LJ) in response to the "shenanigans" the band did before the album's release, directed towards both the band and the fans who want to actually participate in the shenanigans.
- Wild Mass Guessing: The Continuity Snarl moments between the album and the music videos have caused a lot of speculation amongst fans. The official sequel comic may either make this better or worse, as it's a sequel to the album but treats the events of the videos as canon including the main Killjoys' deaths in the music video for SING, which contradicts the order of the Killjoys deaths in the album.
The Album and Music Videos
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The fact the album takes place in 2019 makes it more amusing that the band would reunite in 2019 to go on a 2020 reunion tour.
- Tear Jerker: "SING", "The Only Hope for Me is You", "The Kids From Yesterday", and "Summertime".
- Specifically whenever they mention loved ones that they had to leave behind.
The Comics
- Bury Your Gays: One of the bigger points of criticism for the comic was that both Korse's boyfriend AND Blue's girlfriend die. Both couples are the only major gay ones in the narrative.
- Cast Full of Gay: The only romantic relationships in the comic are gay. Everyone else is apparently celibate to various degrees. Likely deliberate attempts at Values Resonance given that the theme of the comics is how Battery City is hostile to the very concept of love, to a degree comprable to homophobia in the 2010s when the comic was written.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Vaya and Vamos, from the Ultra V's. Are they boys? Skinny girls? It doesn't help that they're also very effeminate.
- Tear Jerker:
- Blue and Red's misfortunes.
- The Girl can't remember the original Killjoy's faces.
- Volume's dead. He was relieved because he was tired of hiding.
- Cheri Cola and his guilt over failing to help the Killjoys save the Girl, noting that he, being there, could've probably keep the boys alive to this day..
- Korse's boyfriend getting killed by BLI. Something about seeing the formerly cold-as-ice Exterminator cradling his dead lover in his arms with tears pouring down his face is truly heartbreaking, and drives home that he is not the same man who killed the Killjoys years before.
