Mythology Gag | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: When the Gremlins cut the power to Greene's ship, Greene demands that his henchmen sound the alarm, followed by the Gremlins poorly imitating alarm sounds. This is an obvious reference to Gremlins 2 where a similar thing happens with Kate in the elevator. Noggin consuming a potion that makes him intelligent and articulate is similar to the Brain Gremlin, albeit with magical potions as opposed to technological ones. | |

Kick the Dog: Elle is treated very poorly by her boss despite being highly useful, which he is willing to admit openly towards her. Mr. Greene also uses the knowledge he has gained from Sam's grandfather to claim that his second to last thought was to wonder if Sam would be able to do what his grandfather asked of him. It brings the paralysed Sam to tears. | |

Bad Boss: Mr. Greene is not treating Elle well. Despite her doing everything he wants her to, he flat out tells her that she will never be able to pay off her debt and will serve him forever as his left hand (useful but not essential). Later on it becomes clear that he treats his other henchmen even WORSE being completely uncaring towards their injuries and refusing to remember or even hear their names. | |

Immortality Inducer: Episode 3 confirms that Gizmo and the other mogwai are essentially immortal as long as they aren’t injured badly. As a result, there is a previously unrevealed rule that if one eats a mogwai (provided that it hasn’t eaten after midnight), that person gains the creature’s immortality. Green’s plan is to capture the mogwai and auction them off to those desiring immortality, using water to make more. | |

Last Chance to Quit | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_a0ccd559 | comment |
Last Chance to Quit: Surprisingly Mr. Greene does offer both Sam's grandfather and later on Sam to leave without further trouble if they just give him what he wants: Gizmo. The offer is strongly implied to be geniune since he does NOT care about them, he only wants the Mogwai. | |

Retcon | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: The series ignores the fact that Gizmo was given his name by Billy's father in the first movie, by making it that Mr. Wing called him it first, due to mistranslating him saying his actual name. | |

Amnesia Danger | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_c20a3586 | comment |
Amnesia Danger: Played with Sam in the fourth episode. He did not lose any of his medicine skills so all he needs to have is for somebody to ask him to mix an antidote. After all he doesn't know that he is suffering from amnesia. | |

No Sense of Personal Space | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_cdb45c07 | comment |
No Sense of Personal Space: Mr. Greene can often get uncomfortably close to others, especially Elle. It is creepier than most examples because of his ability to perform paralysing body strikes. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: The trailer uses a remix of the Gremlin Rag leitmotif from the films. The tune Gizmo sings in the first episode Cold Opening has the beginnings of the melody of Gizmo's leitmotif. The opening title sequence is a flythrough of Mr. Wing’s shop from the original movie, ending on Gizmo's box being opened by what is clearly a Gremlin. It's revealed that Gizmo is a close enough translation of his actual name. Elle’s dislike of the Mid-Autumn Festival due to it being related to her parents’ grim deaths when they attempted to steal lanterns, brings to mind Kate’s dislike of Christmas because of her dad dying trying to go down the chimney as Santa in the first film. Im episode five Sam's parents use the Wand of Sunlight against Mr. Greene as he covers his eyes and says "Bright Light! Bright Light!" in a very high pitched voice. Then he stops the act and points out that it does nothing to him since he is human. In episode six, one Gremlin drinks a potion that gives him the ability to speak and understand all languages, basically making him a precursor to Brain Gremlin in The New Batch. | |

Dwindling Party: The second episode features a non-lethal version. First Sam's grandfather is trapped and devoured by Mr. Greene. Then Sam's father has to keep a door shut to buy his wife and Sam some time to escape. Finally Sam's mother is forced to use herself as a decoy so that Sam and Gizmo have a chance to escape. This results in both parents being captured by the villains as well, leaving Sam and Gizmo on their own. | |
