* {{Jerkass}}: While a lot of his behavior is [[JerkassHasAPoint somewhat reasonable if you considerable the circumstances from an impartial viewpoint]], it's still bad form to blow your lid at a clearly senile old man. The best thing to do was to speak to his carer and/or family member rather than borderline assault someone who clearly didn't know what was going on. However, his angry reaction is so suspiciously extreme that it feels more out of IrrationalHatred of his neighbors then just what Charles did.

[[spoiler:It turns out his son was a soldier serving [=McCullough=], and when he was infected with a mutated strain of the Simian Flu that stole his voice, [=McCullough=] killed him to stop the spread of the virus and "save humanity." Despite [=McCullough=] claiming it was necessary, he still clearly loves his son and feels some guilt off his death, displayed by holding onto a photo of him as a boy.]]

* HollywoodTactics: They throw their entire collective of infantry, tanks, trucks, and helicopters directly at the Alpha Omega base all at the same time despite visible anti-air weapons and the base itself being nestled between mountains and having only one frontal entrance. Once their entire army comes to a dead stop within this confined space, the subsequent avalanche kills them all.

*TheSpeechless: They do not speak, and the only vocalizations they make are unsettling yells when they successfully purge the entire Alpha Omega base of human life. This may be an implication that they have all lost their ability to speak due to the virus, but still possess their higher brain functions, as evidenced by their coordinated tank, truck, and helicopter attack.
