Tiradesverse tropes[]
- Protagonists? - Wayne and Lennon
- Courtneys - Mailai, Rugby, everyone on the protagonist side except Wayne and Lennon; and all of the characters in the opening scene except Goad
- Guy Banter - Vendler
- SYMBOLISM!!! - We assume the incessant Shakespeare quotes are supposed to mean something, but we'll be damned if anyone knows what it is.
- The Future Sucks
- Pointless heel turn - Vendler and his crew turning on the others--it is pointless in the fact that it was about as obvious as humanly possible. Like, seriously, Helen Keller and Ray Charles would've seen this heel turn coming.
- Massive gunfight
- Curious Quartet - Vendler, Noel, Misha and Mailai
- Movie hacking - Nearly every single time Noel is on screen
- Five-Second Microcosm - Vendler saying, "This is getting monotonous."
- Where have you been??? - Noel saying that the program is just a continuous loop.
- Box of kittens - Vendler
- Eric Roberts Paycheck - Sandra Bernhard
- Killing Your Own Guys - Vendler, on the stupidest level imaginable...
- He kills Mailai just because she realized they were doomed if they didn't get off the ship
- He also repeatedly threatens to kill Noel (and eventually does shoot him to death) despite Noel being the only hope they have of solving Goad's doomsday computer program
