History Fridge / KidIcarusUprising

* Viridi has a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome badass moment against]] [[spoiler: Aurum Pyrrhon]] where she drops a Reset bomb on [[spoiler: him]]. You already destroyed her depots, so ''where did she get that Reset Bomb'', and if she had it all along, what stopped her from using it?

* Pit successfully disarms a reset bomb in midair, but a very large object, now on fire thanks to Pit, still lands on a human settlement from a very great height. Sure the damage it does won't be visible from space like the explosion caused by the fully armed bomb, but those humans will be lucky if it only turns out to be an inconvenience.
!!FridgeLogic
* During the fight against the Aurum Brain, Pyrrhon says he's been spending his time on divinipedia, to which Pit replies that he wants the link. Not mere minutes later, Pit screams "I never learned how to read!". How was he planning on looking at divinipedia then?
** One of those computer programs that read text aloud?
** Telepathic communication? We're never told that he has to "look" at it.
*** I think as long as someone reads the information to Pit, then he'll be able to "read". After all, it's not out of character to think that Pit will act like he can read in front of everyone and not know how to read the alphabet (whatever the language was in this universe.)
** He might have also been joking about wanting the link, or simply intended to look at it after he learns to read, if he ever intends to do that.
** Or he just wanted to verify that it exists and Pyrrhon wasn't making stuff up.
** Pit's also captain of the Icarus Army. During some downtime he can ask a grunt to read it for him.
** Given that Divinipedia is a divine construct, who says it stores information in textual form at all? Maybe it records knowledge in a magical way that humans can't comprehend, such that one doesn't need to be able to read to access it.
* Shouldn't it be called the "Exo Chariot"?'
** Because Exo Tank [[RuleofCool sounds cooler.]]
* So is it ever explained how Dark Pit's wings are *better* than Pit's? Dark Pit still lacks any inherent power of flight, but once he robs Pandora's corpse for that power, his wings are never at risk of burning up.

* When you think about it, there's a pretty ironic joke in casting Creator/TroyBaker as [[spoiler:both Arlon and Pyrrhon]]. Although it isn't explicitly stated, [[spoiler:Arlon's location and powers suggest that he may be the God of the Moon, complementing Pyrrhon's role as God of the Sun.]] Additionally, [[spoiler:the two characters are complete opposites: Arlon never loses his composure, while Pyrrhon is always hamming it up.]]

* In Chapter 15, when [[spoiler: the Aurum]] first appear, [[spoiler: Pyrrhon]] quotes the Book of Divine Prophecy, and [[spoiler: Viridi]] notes complete unfamiliarity with that chapter. [[spoiler: Phosphora notes in a throwaway line near the end of the flight segment of chapter 14 that Viridi is an expert diviner, so a prophecy that she isn't familiar with may not be so trustworty. Sure enough, it turns out that Pyrrhon was trying to gain the power of the Aurum for himself.]]

* In Chapter 12, Viridi tells Pit that he's more destructive than a reset bomb, while Pit retaliates that its different because he's destroying evil. While this may seem a bit naive on his part it actually makes sense if you think of it from a political stand point. If you think of the human world and skyworld as allied nations (whether the humans know it or not) then Viridi launching reset bombs at the humans is not only declaring war on the humans but also on skyworld. Therefor, the destruction Pit causes is completely justified (well, as justified as war can be) as he is only attacking and destroying military targets in [[VillainsActHeroesReact retaliation]], unlike Viridi, who not only attacks both military and civilian targets but does so completely unprompted.

* So did everyone laugh when Pit went through his {{Sanity Slippage}} in chapter 23? It's not funny when you realize what happened in the previous chapter. [[spoiler: Pit went through a major {{Break the Cutie}} phase from chapter 18-21 which included waking up to a destroyed world where Palutena turned her back on humanity, Pit's soulless body killing millions of people and all he has believed in is shattered before him. Viridi and Hades are not helping with their constant insults in chapter 19 and 20 when the topic concerns Palutena. Pit gets quieter in chapter 19 as a result of Palutena for not supporting him like during the Aurun arc and by chapter 20, he snaps at the possessed Palutena. By chapter 21, not catching the Chaos Kin makes his spirit break completely and at the end of the chapter, he sacrifices his wings to save Pittoo.]] Now given all that trauma, is it appropriate to make fun of Pit in that chapter now?

* During Chapter 9, while Pit is running through [[spoiler: Medusa's recreation of Chapter 3]], Pit questions if these locations are real, and Medusa responds by saying that they're [[spoiler: "as real as she is". Then you find out that she's a fake...]]

* More of Fridge Tearjerker combined with {{Funny Aneurysm Moment}}. The tearjerker is, throughout the entire game, Pit has been complaining about wanting to fly longer than five minutes and isn't happy how he has to rely on someone else to give him the power of flight. The fact everyone mocks him for not being able to fly doesn't help. [[spoiler: Then comes chapter 21, where Pit flies longer than the given time in order to save Dark Pit from Chaos Kin. Palutena even pictures Pit talking about wanting to fly...yet his wings are burned up as a result of the heroic deed.]] What makes this Fridge though is the fact that [[spoiler: Viridi warned Pit not to save Dark Pit because his wings would burn up. Pit doesn't listen to her and goes through with his rescue attempt at the cost of burning his wings. The game put an actual reference to Icarus by throwing Pit in this situation.]]

* [[spoiler: Amazon]] Pandora's idol description says that "''a blunder cost the goddess her body, forcing Pandora to take the form of a pure manifestation of her will,''" transforming her into that blue, fiery form we all know. Who else has a blue, fiery form? The [[spoiler: Chariot Master]], who's idol states that "''His body may be ruined, but by walking the soldier's path in death, the master's soul still burns.''

* In Chapter 9, Medusa says she'll remove Pit's wings and sever him from the heavens forever,[[spoiler:explaining why Palutena can't just heal Pit's wings in Chapter 21 when they burn up despite all the powers she's displayed before.]]

* In the levels, Palutena can create grind rails for Pit to hop on and grind his way through obstacles he can't pass normally. One wonders why [[spoiler:Viridi]] can't do the same thing. [[spoiler:She can, but in Chapter 14, Phosphora mentions that the Forces of Nature]] [[LameExcuse don't have the budget]]. The truth is that, more than likely, [[spoiler:Viridi has actually never made grind rails before...which probably explains why the rails randomly cut off during the moments when she's helping Pit.]]

** Not to mention: Where do you find the Gemini Orbitars? Chapter Six. ''The level where Pit fights his Main/EvilTwin.''

** Because Exo Tank [[RuleofCool sounds cooler.]]

* Some more FridgeBrilliance/FridgeHorror relating to Pit's inability to fly: It's stated several times that all of Palutena's Centurions are incompetent and have nothing going for them other than their loyalty and the fact that they're regularly brought back. Meanwhile, Pit is so competent at what he does that he defeats entire armies with almost no assistance aside from Palutena's blessing of flight, and the healing and support items she leaves for him. And yet he's the only angel serving her who ''can't'' fly without her permission? It doesn't make any sense until you consider the idea that Dark Pit is a true reflection of the darkness in Pit's heart. Dark Pit is only loyal to someone if they can provide him with something that he wants or needs. Even though Pit is loyal to a fault, she may believe that his loyalty only comes from the fact that he ''needs'' her favor in order to fly (something that may be hinted at with her disapproving comments whenever he remarks that it would be nice to be able to fly without having to rely on her), and that if he were to gain the ability to fly on his own he'll leave as soon as something displeases him. Really, she could be deliberately denying him the same kind of proper flight that the Centurions have just so that she can have a fiercely loyal and skilled servant who can't afford to leave her service even after all of the abuse she puts him through. If this is the case, her emotions over Pit's [[spoiler:wings burning up from overusing the power of flight in order to save Dark Pit]] would also be guilt over the fact that [[spoiler:Pit ''died'']] because she refused to give him that power.

* At one point in the second ''Kid Icarus'' game, Don mentions that the waterways you pass by are poisonous. Among the crimes Pit charges Medusa with in this, the third game, is poisoning w...well Medusa wasn't even in the second game but it's safe to say the world hadn't fully recovered from her rampage in the first.

* Pit and Magnus have noticeable differences in combat, even when using the same weapon. This seems strange until you read Magnus's idol text, which describes him as a swordsman. Treating his weapon like a sword, Magnus is most concerned with its sharp edge. When swinging at a target Magnus is trying to strike in a specific manner while Pit is simply swinging as hard as possible because to him it is a club. Pit thus follows through more and doesn't swing as many times. Conversely, Magnus doesn't perform as many continuous swings as Pit when Pit is deliberately trying too for the same reason, Pit is showing complete disregard as to whether a sharp or blunt part connects with anything. Why do the boots slow Magnus down so much when he can so easily jump in them? They don't, Magnus runs slower because he's taking care not to cut himself.[[spoiler:Why does Pit behave more like Magnus in "The Ring Of Chaos"? [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody For the same reason he takes on urges of a dog.]]
