Sexy Walk was renamed/retooled into Supermodel Strut by TRS.


* SexyWalk: How they approach Sam, high heels and everything.

Shes Got Legs is no longer a trope


* ShesGotLegs: To reiterate, there's the scene midway through during the explanation of how Kevin got stuck on the Grid. Whenever it cuts to Quorra, we inexplicably get a full shot that does nothing but emphasize this.

Not only is Zuse [[LesCollaborateurs a supporter of Clu's regime]], but both times [[StuffBlowingUp his club explodes]] in no small part due to the interference of the story protagonists (namely, Quorra)]].

* CreepyMonotone: They speak in low, static-ridden voices. [[TheQuietOne The few times they speak at all, anyway]].
* EmotionlessGirl: With the exception of Gem who sports an occasional smirk, none of them emote or even ''blink'' when dressing up Sam in armor.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Oh yes.
* MsFanservice: The trope above? An indicator. The trope below? Another indicator? The fact all four of them are played by models? [[RuleOfThree Bingo]]. One could argue this was invoked InUniverse to give the game volunteers [[EatingTheEyeCandy something nice to look at]] before they all die horrifically.
* SexyWalk: How they approach Sam, high heels and everything.

Added DiffLines:

* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: He has this dynamic with his creator Flynn. Besides their temporal ages, it's exaggerated by the fact CLU perpetually has a young Flynn's likeness, in contrast to Flynn himself physically aging within the Grid. CLU actually succeeds in usurping control of the Grid and making Flynn a fugitive for hundreds of cycles, and the FatalFlaw that led to [=CLU's=] FaceHeelTurn is that he's perpetually frozen at the mindset Flynn had when he created CLU whereas Flynn himself adapts and learns. CLU even briefly smacks down the aged Flynn and actually [[spoiler:has a chance to kill Flynn but doesn't take it]].

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousStartOfDarkness: It's unclear when exactly he made his FaceHeelTurn or for how long he was planning his StartOfDarkness before he attacked Flynn. The spin-offs seem to suggest he was a BastardUnderstudy, if they're considered canon to the film.

* SatanicArchetype: A sentient creation of the Grid's God who predates most of the other programs and was made when the Grid was still beginning, and he's the creator's EvilFormerFriend who turned on him. He even corrupts other programs into his servants, and verbally condemns his creator as a false prophet, while trying to usurp and surpass him. CLU and Flynn's interactions very much come across as an {{Expy}} of a tragedy about God and Lucifer. CLU's betrayal was even triggered by his creator favoring a younger form of life which CLU held in disgust, similar to Lucifer's refusal to bow to humanity.
