* DecoyProtagonist: Inverted, so, Decoy Antagonist, actually. As in ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless'', Arnold Shpitz is, for the most part, built up throughout the downtown Olathe as the final boss for the area. The true final boss of the area, [[spoiler: Rando]] is built up a few times by being mentioned by various characters, but most of the on-screen build up and much of the dialogue build up still suggests an eventual confrontation with Shpitz. At the end of the Downtown Olathe segment, dialogue still takes place indicating that he and Alex's party are about to do combat. Before it can begin, [[spoiler: Rando]] falls from the sky, lands on Sphitz, crushes him, and acts as the true final boss of the area. As this is last real fight of the game, he also functions as the final combat boss fought in the game.

Added Early Installment Weirdness.
Added DiffLines:
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Joy and Joy mutants are still present in this game, unlike in VideoGame/BradHasAPain, where they are replaced with Stupid Balls and Stupid Ball Disciples, respectively. Items in this game are relatively in line with those found in the Vanilla VideoGame/LisaThePointless. For instance, if you need to resurrect a party member in VideoGame/BradHasAPain, you might feed them a Bottle of Live. In Alex Has a Point, as in ''VideoGame/{{LISA}}'', you would spray them with perfume.
** Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]]. In VideoGame/BradHasAPain, the world is on a cycle, with Brad having killed Lisa four times and her resetting the world. VideoGame/BradHasAPain takes place in the fifth such cycle/instance of him killing Lisa, assuming that he wins. It is not wholly impossible that Alex has a Point takes place in one of the cycles 1 - 4.

* ButThouMust: Alex encounters a man saying he must be killed by Hugo Leopardi in the desert. Alex says, to paraphrase, that 'no, you could be killed by me" and attempts to kill him. [[NoSell Alex bounces harmlessly off the man]], and he insists that, no, it really must be Hugo to kill him. This interaction gives Alex the Depression status effect.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Alex can encounter a pair of skeletons, impaled, in a hut in the desert. Examining them leads to a box coming up whose dialogue asks how they got their clothes on.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In the beginning of this game, Alex refuses to trust Joel. He can be re-encountered by entering a doorway near the starting location. If you encounter him again in this room, he will shoot Alex with his [[OneBulletLeft only bullet]]. This leads to an immediate game over.
* HistoryRepeats: Unlike in ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless'', but like in ''Lisa: The Painful RPG'', in Alex Has a Point, you do not ride a boat; you use [[spoiler: the body of a Hernandez]] as a boat.
* NarratingTheObvious: Checking a flaming barrel will provide the description "It is warm."
*NoFourthWall: A great many characters will refer to ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless'' and other non-diegetic video games, including ''Lisa'' itself and the fact that mods and fangames exist for it.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Averted. Before leaving the first location, a house, Joel offers Alex revenge against the men who beat him and disposed of him. Alex says no, quite emphatically.
** That being said, Alex eventually says that he is hunting down Brad Armstrong. The reasons are not especially clear. It may be because of Brad's complete defeat of Alex at the tournament years before. It may because Brad beat Alex and threw him out before the events of the game. It could be that Alex wishes to become the master of the Armstrong Style and must defeat Brad to do it.
*WeirdWorldWeirdFood: The first bulk food you are likely to encounter are One Dollar Bills, given to Alex by [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext his father as child support]].

Created page. Added basic summary and some tropes.

[[TitleDrop Alex has a Point]] is a joke/meme mod for ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless''. It offers a considerably easier, considerably quicker run through most of the areas visited in the original ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless''.
In pre-Flash Olathe, Alex Churchland was a practitioner of the Armstrong Style of martial arts and a Disciple of Brad. [[AfterTheEnd After the Flash]], he has, as in the original game, ended up wounded and thrown away with a large mass of garbage. As in the original game, he is discovered by Joel, alongside a bullet. Here, things take a diverging path. Alex knows exactly how he ended up in the situation he is in at the beginning of the game, and he explicitly states a disinterest in getting revenge. Instead, he traverses through Olathe, recruiting several companions and leaving a large wave of death in his wake.
This mod goes against the original ''VideoGame/LisaThePointless'' in several ways. It is [[SequelDifficultyDrop considerably easier]], contains multiple party members, has Joel as something of an antagonist, and has a much less serious tone.
It has a prequel mod created some time later, ''VideoGame/BradHasAPain''.
Alex has a Point can be downloaded [[https://gamejolt.com/games/THERECANONLYBEONEDISCIPLE/475174 here]].
