* 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.]]
* [[Literature/TheBible The New Testament]] describes a pool that has healing powers, but only while an angel is stirring it up. When the nature goddess mocks Pit's love of hot springs, it's because she has no angels of her own and only knows them by definition one. She likely never saw, much less felt this recovery method of theirs. [[spoiler: Magnus doesn't benefit from hot springs unless Pit is around.]]

* 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.

* All the enemies look pretty colorful and cartoony, but if you look at them in a more realistic light they become deathly disturbing. The Underworld Army consists of such pleasant things as floating, disembodied eyes, mouths, hands and noses, green brains on mouth-covered pillars, giant, hulk-like hearts with skulls for fists, walking stomachs that devour it's fellow demons to grow bigger and more powerful, skull-shaped masses of tormented souls that mind-rape you on contact, demonic disembodied heads of sheep and elephants, cyclopic amoeba creatures in jars and venom-swollen mushroom people with agonized expressions on their faces as their overstuffed bodies can burst at any moment. The majority of the Underworld Army seems to be modeled after organs... [[spoiler:What makes it exponentially worse is that each of those monsters is actually an amalgamation of hundreds of innocent human souls, warped and twisted into these disgusting and humiliating forms by Hades. Hades might very well make his creations this hideous just to make the souls suffer even more.]]

** Something else could be considered. [[spoiler: The fact that Pit and Dark Pit are connected to each other means that whatever state Pit is in, Dark Pit does feel it. Dark Pit didn't explain in detail what happened to him during the time Pit was in the ring, but given that Pit was in an And I Must Scream situation, Dark Pit might have been going through the same thing or]] [[EmptyShell something else entirely.]]

* When you think about it, there's a pretty ironic joke in casting 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.]]

to:

* 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.

** In the same short, Palutena saying that Pit eats too many hamburgers, doughnuts, and cake may just seem like another joke at [[ButtMonkey Pit's expense]], until you remember that many players grab food whenever it's possible, meaning that Pit actually eats everything edible that's collected on a mission.

** For further contrast, they both have different roles. [[spoiler:Arlon]] first appears as a villain but later proves to not be evil [[spoiler:since he's just preventing the Chaos Kin from escaping.]] Meanwhile, [[spoiler:Pyrrhon]] first appears as an ally, but is later revealed to be a villain, [[spoiler: since he wanted to take control of the Aurum.]]
