History YMMV / MutantChronicles

* DuelingGames: With ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''. Both have TheLegionsOfHell screwing over humanity, massive battles, and crazy-awesome weapons. Warhammer 40,000 is, however, crispy-fried religious mumbo-jumbo SpaceOpera spanning light-eons whereas Mutant Chronicles is more secular about it (the [[ChurchMilitant Brotherhood]] and the Dark Legion nonwithstanding), with the backstory of various {{Mega Corp}}s taking over the solar system. 40k seems to have won, having several spinoffs and novels. MC has an InNameOnly movie and an [[VideoGame/DoomTroopers arcade run-'n'-gun game]] that, while well recieved in its day, has had nothing of the success of the various adaptations of 40k.

* EvilIsSexy: Illian.
** And the Nepharite Golgotha, who could seduce enemy soldiers into not attacking her.

* InNameOnly: The movie is often accused of this. It's a prequel far removed from the setting of game. As such, there are only a handful of elements from the game: the [[MegaCorp megacorporations]], [[ChurchMilitant the Brotherhood]], humanity having space colonies, and [[spoiler: a mention of the Dark Legion]] toward the end of the movie.
* WhatAnIdiot: The Brotherhood stopped and sealed the Machine centuries ago. They have devoted themselves to keeping the knowledge of the machine alive and stopping it should it get free.
** '''You'd Expect''': The Brotherhood, in the centuries between them sealing away the machine and present, would protect [[SealedEvilInACan the hole the machine is kept in]].
** '''Instead''': [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Two mega-corporations unknowingly open the hole]] thus causing the ZombieApocalypse.

* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: At the end of the movie, Mitch manages to launch the Machine into space thus saving the Earth. However, [[HomeworldEvacuation many of the survivor fled to off-world colonies]]. So, the Machine could easily land on one of the off-world colonies and [[HereWeGoAgain start all this over once again]]. This would be made worse by the fact that [[LockedOutOfTheLoop none of the colonists would know anything about the Machine]] let alone how to stop it, since [[SecretKeeper Mitch and the Brotherhood]]are the only people alive that know anything about the Machine.]]

* EvilIsSexy - Illian.

* HilariousInHindsight - One can say that Imperial is United Kingdom after Brexit.
* NightmareFuel - Enough to squick you out. Dark Legion basically RUNS on it, other factions also have squicky secrets.
* {{Squick}} - Used five times in various descriptions already, and that's far from done. Basically, Dark Legion is squicky. Cybertronic can be too, at times.
