I would say this is a more fitting trope to put this under.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Evan's "schizophrenia" is...dubiously portrayed, to say the least. "Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities." At most, we see Evan having a few moments of memories he can't explain and having the knowledge or abilities he isn't sure why he has, but he doesn't present many of the other symptoms. The closest would be hallucinations, but all of his other cognitive and social functions seem in perfect working order. He also only displays these traits for about 20 minutes of the film and then they magically disappear and he never once worries about the pills he was willing to kill drug dealers to acquire.

Crosswicking new trope.
Added DiffLines:
* CranialPlateAbility: It's mentioned that Evan [=McCauley=] suffered a mental breakdown due to the jumbled memories [[BornAgainImmortality of his past lives]] and attempted suicide via car crash, requiring doctors to install a steel plate in his skull. Late in the film, [[BigBad Bathurst]] shoots Evan in the head with the Dethroner, an attack that ''should'' kill Evan and [[SealedGoodInACan prevent him from being reborn]] - but thanks to the steel plate in his skull, the Dethroner bullet doesn't penetrate, and Evan is back on his feet in seconds. For good measure, Evan mocks Bathurst for forgetting about the plate [[FailedASpotCheck when he was the one who brought up this detail in the first place]].

Added DiffLines:
* DisabilityImmunity: [[spoiler:The metal plate in Evan's skull saves his life during the final confrontation with Bathurst; when Bathurst shoots him in the back of the head with the gun he uses to capture the souls of Infinites, the plate takes the force of the bullet while preventing it from actually penetrating Evan's skull]].
Added DiffLines:
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Bathurst needs to retrieve the Egg from wherever Treadway hid it because making it required various one-of-a-kind strokes of genius and most of the experts who helped Bathurst make it are now dead, so he can't simply track down his plans and rebuild it.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Bathurst wants to end all life on Earth just to ensure his ''own'' death, rather than trying to find a way to kill himself for good while leaving everyone else alone.

* JerkassHasAPoint: To be fair, it would ''massively suck'' to be reincarnated for all eternity, depending on your outlook on life. Most human beings find meaning in life knowing we will someday die and won't get another chance. With an infinite number of chances, how do you continue to assign meaning to what you do in each life?

With an infinite number of chances, how chance to do you continue better. Others would be horrified at having to assign meaning go through life, suffer, grow old, and die, and then be reborn to what you do in each life? it all over again and again and again, ''forever''.
