* BadBoss: If his attitude towards the Tunes in general isn't enough to cement him as one already. The horrified reactions from the other Serververse residents after announcing [[DuelToTheDeath the Tunes' deletion if they lose to him]], or Kong's visible annoyance after getting insulted make it clear that he doesn't respect any of Warner's [=IPs=] and [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating vice-versa]].

* DigitalAbomination: He first presents himself to Lebron James as a giant floating electric-blue head. Al soon resizes himself into a more human form, the better to interact with his prisoner. He keeps this reduced form throughout most of the film, until the last minute of challenge match. It is then Al buffs himself up into a hulking, overpowered brute, the better to thwart Lebron from scoring the winning points.

* EvilCounterpart: Both he and [=LeBron=] are overbearing and self-absorbed when in their domain as "king." However, [=LeBron=] loves his son and the Tunes (especially Bugs) and legitimately thinks he's helping by stressing a serious playing style. Even his frustration with his team is because he thinks they're not taking their rescue mission seriously. By contrast, Al-G only cares about his own glory and gets frustrated with his team and Dom because they're not giving him what he wants.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: He's uninterested in Dom's passions for coding and instead has been pushing him to get into basketball, though it's slightly downplayed in that while he's hard on Dom when on the court, he does at least try to encourage Dom to not give up when his game crashes. He ends up adopting this behavior towards the Tunes, refusing to let them play their way even though they are down a thousand points by halftime.
* JerkassRealization: At halftime, he calls the Tunes out for apparently not taking the game seriously enough, until Lola and Bugs point out that they're ''trying'' but because he won't let them be looney, they've been trying to emulate him the best they can. [=LeBron=] is stunned silent as he realizes how harshly he's been treating them (and by extension, his own son), letting them play their way during the second half and properly apologizing to Dom during the game.
