Bloodless Carnage: Averted. Though not to the level of outright Gorn, there's decent amount of blood in the fights, the largest spilled being when Polar Bear!Maggie swipes Mannequin in the eye. | |

Ms. Exposition: Maggie takes a moment at a park to basically summarize the plot up until that point... out loud, to nobody(?) She might have just been collecting her thoughts, but the fact they animated her lips makes it confusing. | |

Oblivious to Love: Maggie is an intelligent young woman but she is painfully blind to the fact that Stephan is head over heels for her. When Mosaic asks if he's her boyfriend, she automatically corrects him with "best friend." | |

Fantasy-Forbidding Father | |
Mosaic / int_308ac24f | comment |
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Maggie's father is a sympathetic version as he's more concerned with her supporting herself than any disdain for her theater work. After he's injured in the line of duty by Mannequin, Maggie lightly teases him about how "safe and secure" his job is. He comes around at the end when he sees that Maggie isn't neglecting her school work and follows through on his promise to help her rehearse. | |

Mosaic / int_35ab4cec | comment |
A boy who sees Maggie climbing a wall mistakes her for the webslinger, his mother telling him he reads too many comic books. Interestingly, a similar gag also happened in Spider-Man's debut comic, in which the mother tells the boy he watches too many monster movies. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Maniken and his plans to revived his Wife and take the world has been foiled, Nathan Nelson (Maggie's Father) has been saved, but Mosaic presumably falls to his death taking Maniken (who is reveal to be his Father) with him. Maggie is sadden and learns his father plans to wipeout the Chamelials, Maggie is also reunited with him and decides to used her Powers for good, she sets out to find the remaining Chameliel Stones and to honor Mosaic's Memory, she becomes the new Mosaic. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Mosaic / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Chamelials have experienced this in the past and choose to remain hidden to avoid conflict; Mannequin certainly has it in regards to humanity, blaming them for the death of his power-mad wife even though it was an alliance of both humans and Chamelials that stopped her from devastating the world. When rescued at the end of the movie, Maggie's father unfortunately feels that all the Chamelials are dangerous like Mannequin and should be destroyed since he doesn't realize that the young man that saved him (Mosaic) was also a Chameliel and his daughter has their powers. | |

Missing Mom: Maggie's mother is mentioned when she and Mosaic go to Italy, Maggie saying her mother had promised to take her to Europe; this and other hints strongly indicate that she died some time ago. Mosaic's mother is also deceased, but much more important to the plot. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
Mosaic / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Not so much out and out romance as some light flirting between Maggie and Mosaic, unfortunately cut short by Mosaic's supposed death while fighting with his father. Maggie's discussion with Stephan at the end of the movie has her admitting that she regrets not telling Mosaic how she felt. | |

Cross-Cast Role: In-universe, Maggie is introduced playing Puck in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, the role of which has been played by women in Real Life, so it may be an In-Universe case of Ability over Appearance.) The end of the movie has her studying to play the lead role of Hamlet with some lampshading from her father. | |

Mosaic / int_9d1cc720 | comment |
Barbie Doll Anatomy: Maggie and the Chamelials get this when they turn invisible, even though they're actually wearing clothes and extends to anyone they're hiding as well, which leads to an awkward moment (for the viewer) when Maggie has to hide herself and her father when Mannequin's henchmen try to kill him in his hospital room. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Maggie, as much as the rating would allow. She spends most of her time at home in a midriff-baring top and sleep pants (even doing a hip-shaking dance to some rock music) and has a "Not Wearing Pants" Dream where she runs around in a bra and panties. Even her Puck costume in her introduction really shows off her figure for a male character. It's little wonder that Stephan is so smitten with her. | |

Shout-Out | |
Mosaic / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several to Spider-Man: Maggie wonders if it would have been easier getting bitten by a radioactive chameleon instead of being struck by lightning. A boy who sees Maggie climbing a wall mistakes her for the webslinger, his mother telling him he reads too many comic books. Interestingly, a similar gag also happened in Spider-Man's debut comic, in which the mother tells the boy he watches too many monster movies. One of the forms taken by Mannequin resembles The Lizard, a Spider-Man villain (and Stan Lee creation.) Mosaic's death seems awfully close to Sherlock Holmes and his temporary death. | |
