** Buck himself proves to be fascinating as an EnsembleDarkhorse character, as the movie he appears in canonically provides him no {{Backstory}}, and for all his {{CrazyAwesome}}ness, there is not much ''else'' to him....

** Scratte pretty much qualifies as well.

** A lot of fans like to think that Diego and Soto are brothers. But this interpretation turns sour when you realize that in the entirety of the Original, Soto is subtly making plans to kill Diego himself. Which his [[DracoInLeatherPants DILP]]ing fans conveniently don't notice.

But this interpretation turns sour when you realize that in the entirety of the Original, Soto is subtly making plans to kill Diego himself. Which his [[DracoInLeatherPants DILP]]ing fans conveniently don't notice. notice which leads to a CainAndAbel motif in the first movie you subscribe to this fan theory that Soto and Diego are brothers, the Original film displays this trope terrifyingly, as every move Soto makes towards Diego is to ''devise the death of his own brother.'' Making it even MORE DarkerAndEdgier for the first installment.

*PortmanteauCoupleName: Several within the fandom at fanfictiondotnet, notably "Mellie" as a name for Manny and Ellie, and "Sillie" for {{CrackPairing}}s such as Sid and Ellie, oh, and "Siego" for [[HoYay Sid and Diego. Ugh.]]

Added DiffLines:

*{{Tearjerker}}: Several in the first film, to wit;
** Nadia using her last ounce of strength to push Roshan over to Manny in hopes that he will be saved,
** The ArtShift {{Flashback}} in the cave that reveals Manny's DarkAndTroubledPast. Even ''Diego'' has tears in his eyes at that scene.
** Diego [[TakingTheBullet taking the mortal blow]] for Manny during the battle with Soto at the end to protect him, as it is obvious that Soto's incisors slashed him fatally, and even as he dies (the commentary for the first film confirms that he actually '''did''' die in that scene) he selflessly insists that Manny and Sid forget about him, since he wants to make sure Roshan gets home as much as they do now. This scene is especially heartbreaking if you remember that Manny has only recently lost his family, and now he is losing someone close to him all over again. His brimming eyes as he watches Diego leave them only serve to drive the point home.

* FollowTheLeader: The Original film is often termed so derisively by people who are fans of ''{{Shrek}}'' and ''MonstersInc'', which is totally unfair. ''Ice Age'' is a film that deserves to be considered by itself despite these accusations that it was a "rip-off" of the two aforementioned movies.

*FanDumb: People who believe ''religiously'' the Diego and Soto are brothers bit, all due to one deleted scene that had Soto telling Diego he was "the only one he trusts". For crying out loud, Blue Sky has done '''nothing''' to confirm them being brothers at all! Diego does NOT deserve to be turned into RonTheDeathEater because of the FanDumb!

* BrokenBase: ''Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'' has caused a split within the fandom. Some love it for [[CrazyAwesome Buck]], the revival of the [[HeterosexualLifePartners camaraderie between Manny and Diego being tested]], and being able to see favorite characters (like Scrat) return again. Others feel that this film has JumpedTheShark for Blue Sky. End result: BrokenBase. And rumors about the 4th movie aren't helping things either.

* CompleteMonster: '''Soto'''. Full stop. Let's see, he causes the death of Roshan's mother and widowed his father all for the sake of making Runar suffer his same angst over his own loss, he is heavily implied to be setting up Diego, his own second-in-command for slaughter by making him go off on a wild goose chase after a baby who ''rationally'' must be dead, and he has no real FreudianExcuse besides his unholy desire for revenge that he will stop at nothing and ''no one'' to see it finalized at last. In some ways, he is like [[TheLionKing Zira]], as both are consumed by vengeance and will stop at nothing to see their revenge given to their foes.

*UnintentionallySympathetic: Soto tends to come off as this, as people feel sorry for him that he lost his entire pack/family, and was probably a pretty amiable guy once, and some people ignore his bitter desire for vengeance against the humans as it detracts from him being UnintentionallySympathetic.
