History Film / DoRevenge

* EverybodyHasStandards: Drea's former friend group are more than okay with [[spoiler:spinning Max's cheating as him and Tara having an open relationship to save his reputation. When they find out that he really did leak Drea's tape, they immediately turn on him.]]

* EvilIsPetty: Downplayed. While [[spoiler:Eleanor has a '''very'' good reason to want revenge against Drea, not only does she continue her plan even after Drea was suffering when after a nude video of her went viral online, but Eleanor persists in even after she causes Drea to lose her scholarship, reveals that she was faking being friends with her the whole time and breaks her up with Russ. When Drea refuses to cooperate, Eleanor even threatens to frame Drea's mother for drug. She is also this to Carissa, willing to expose her ex-girlfriend's drug operation despite knowing and understanding how afraid she was.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Eleanor. Once the truth is revealed, she switches back and forth from talkative, bubbly, and even apologetic to bitter and resentful at the drop of a hat.]]

** [[spoiler:After Drea uses Carissa's psychedelic mushrooms to drug everyone at a dinner, she also tips the headmaster off to the source, explaining to Eleanor "It's called double insurance sweetie. Look it up". In the climax, just when it appears Max will get away with everything, Eleanor reveals she recorded his confession with a hidden backup camera. She then repeats the same line to Drea.]]

** When remembering her, Drea mocks Carissa as a granola-munching lesbian before Eleanor glares at her. [[spoiler:It's far from the first time she did or said something homophobic to Eleanor (though if one hadn’t known, they might think this was just Eleanor feeling betrayed that the girl who outed her eventually came out herself).]]

** When remembering her, Drea mocks Carissa as a granola-munching lesbian before Eleanor glares at her. [[spoiler:It's far from the first time she did or said something homophobic to Eleanor.]]

* FullNameBasis: Eleanor's emotional support bearded dragon is named Oscar Winner Olivia Coleman and is always referred to as such.

* UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: The quirky Eleanor has an emotional support bearded dragon named Oscar Winner Olivia Coleman.

** Eleanor saying she doesn't believe Max leaked the video of Drea, and claiming Drea overreacted, is pretty cold—Max's own sister (who overheard the argument between the two girls) calls Eleanor out on it and claims that she believes Max leaked it too.

* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Rosehill is stated to be a boon for any student trying to get into Ivy Leagues, and Drea specifically is gunning for Yale from the moment we meet her. It's to the point that when a party is held exclusively for people who got into Ivies, basically every character who's been seen in the film so far is there. [[spoiler: Subverted in that Drea fails to get into Yale due to her revenge schemes being leaked to their admissions board, and when she's offered the opportunity to get back in their good graces she chooses to forgo it as she's become disillusioned by the entire idea]].
* IronicEcho:

** [[spoiler: After Drea uses Carissa's psychedelic mushrooms to drug everyone at a dinner, she also tips the headmaster off to the source, explaining to Eleanor "It's called double insurance sweetie. Look it up". In the climax, just when it appears Max will get away with everything, Eleanor reveals she recorded his confession with a hidden backup camera. She then repeats the same line to Drea.]]
* JerkassRealization: After [[spoiler: humiliating Eleanor at a party, Drea comes to apologize, saying she always thought she was doing terrible things to fit in at school and "this isn't me." But she now realizes this ''is'' her and is truly regretful for the kind of person she was with Nora and others]].

** Drea forgets Eleanor’s birthday and then crashes her surprise party— when Eleanor asks if Drea remembered or would have if the circumstances were different, Drea admits she wouldn’t have remembered and insults Eleanor for wanting her to.
** Eleanor saying she doesn’t believe Max leaked the video of Drea, and claiming Drea overreacted, is pretty cold—Max’s own sister (who overheard the argument between the two girls) calls Eleanor out on it and claims that she believes Max leaked it too.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the mid-credits scene [[spoiler: Drea sneaks into Russ' workshop to apologize, he asks her how she got in, and she tells him not worry about it. Similarly, Eleanor waits for Gabbi to happen by at their old spot but Gabbi takes too long and she falls asleep waiting for her.]]

--> '''Drea''': Looking back, it was a classic Icarus story: I flew too close to the sun and my boyfriend leaked my sex tape.
* MushroomSamba: [[spoiler: Drea uses the psychedelic mushrooms that Carissa was secretly growing to drug the entire senior class at a special dinner for them, leading to everyone losing their minds and flailing about the green while the two tip off the headmistress and steal Max's phone.]]

* OnceMoreWithClarity: After realizing [[spoiler: she was the one who outed Eleanor years before, Drea starts thinking as we see scenes from the film, now showing how Eleanor had set up this "accidental" meeting with Drea and was working to set her up along with the rest the whole time.]]

* PoliticalOvercorrectness: A majority of the students are "fake woke", advertising themselves as allies of important causes for social clout while failing to actually help said causes. Gabbi points out that the protesting environmentalist students all use single-use plastics regularly. Max tries to deflect blame from himself over Drea's video leaking by forming the "Cis Hetero Men Championing Female-Identifying Students League", clearly turning a bunch of actual words into meaningless buzz to make himself look better. The students also ostracize Drea after her humiliating video was leaked (which should be an issue of female autonomy) rather than pitying and comforting her (though they don't antagonise her over it and [[spoiler: are disgusted with Max when it's revealed that he was behind it after all]]). The school also has a designated "safe space" for students who get offended.

* StrangersOnATrainPlotMurder: Since Drea and Eleanor have nothing connecting them to each other when Eleanor arrives at Rosehill, Drea suggests the two take down each other's bullies. Partially subverted since the two of them still assist each other when they can, and because [[spoiler: the Eleanor and Drea ''do'' have a connection from their past - but Drea's since forgotten.]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Eleanor is the Tomboy to Drea’s Girly Girl.

* VillainProtagonist: Both Drea and Eleanor use their social wits and status to manipulate their targets and make them miserable. [[spoiler: The reveal doubles down on this, as Drea was the one who ruined Eleanor's life first and Eleanor has spent the entire movie trying to pay her back]].

-->'''Carissa''': That is so weird, first that she told you it was me and second, you didn't call bullshit...You seriously don't remember? Drea, [[spoiler: ''you'' were the one who started that rumor! Yeah, Eleanor is Nora Cutler from day camp?]]

* YesMan: Erica's friend Jessica, whose only lines consist of her tearfully repeating everything Erica says as she's kicked out of Tennis Camp.

** When remembering her, Drea mocks Carissa as a granola-munching lesbian before Eleanor glares at her. [[spoiler:It's far from the first time she said or did something homophobic to Eleanor.]]
** Rather than being scared or contemptuous of her, Carissa is slightly surprised but mostly nonchalant to meet Eleanor. [[spoiler:Carissa didn't do anything that would warrant a complicated revenge scheme, but someone else does.]]
** Eleanor gives Drea a few annoyed side-eye looks throughout the movie, such as when Drea says narcissists are too focused on themselves to realise they're being manipulated and when she notes that there's one to go after Carissa's defeat. [[spoiler:That quote applies to Drea all too well.]]
