History YMMV / TheTribe

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: [[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-tribe-2015 Scout Tafoya of RogerEbert.com slammed the film]], arguing that it was empty violence for shock value and that the use of deaf actors was an [[DancingBear exploitative gimmick]], as the characters involved are overwhelmingly negative and without a positive representation. This caused a backlash from fans of the film, who argued that the film was about disenfranchised youth rather than deaf children, and that the challenging material of the film should not be discounted because it made him uncomfortable. [[note]]For what it's worth, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSzP9YV3jbc Roger Ebert himself]] argued that characters, regardless of who they are, should be allowed to represent whatever they want without their creators fearing backlash that they're being bad representatives for the rest of their group.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Ryan giving Ebony his $10,000 savings (all his money in the world) in order to save Dal from slavery in [=S1e28=], especially considering that she laughed and burnt it in his face. For someone who hadn't really interacted with Dal beforehand it really seems like a crowning moment of friendship on his behalf. Infact, the riot that breaks out at the 'festival' (this troper can't remember what it was specifically called) breaks into the tearjerker category considering, after all they had been through over the past 28 episodes, The Mallrats are willing to fight to the end for each other, in order to make sure that they're all safe.

* NeverSayDie: of course there are several very strong aversions to this trope, with numerous on-screen deaths and even funerals for even the main characters. But there were also plenty of characters, during the rise of the Chosen and later the Technos, who mysteriously "disappeared"- and it seems pretty obvious that quite a few died (especially Danni).

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ebony. While she was't a main character at first, she eventually stuck around for all seasons of the show.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was popular in quite a lot of European countries.

* {{Shipping}}

* TearJerker: Bray's memories of his father's death bed as the man was dying from the effects of the virus. It's a lot more tragic because Bray promises his father that he will look after Martin, when it's already established that Bray failed utterly at that, considering what his brother became.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: It's hard enough for even interested parties to watch given the level of bleak cynicism and brutal violence that occurs onscreen. Nearly all of the characters seem to be either violent sociopaths or passive accomplices, the teachers are either crooked or ineffective, [[spoiler:and even the protagonist isn't above raping the object of his affection]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ebony.

* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed: despite the fact that the producers ''tried'' to pull out all the stops to do the whole CanadaDoesNotExist thing, the obvious UsefulNotes/NewZealand accents, the vague similarity of the City to real-life UsefulNotes/{{Wellington}}, and the fact that every time they go outside the City, there's invariably an establishing shot of wildlife which... well, clearly isn't British, kind of lets it down somewhat. Also, the tribe which kidnaps Dal and Trudy and attempts to sell them into slavery, has a tent which clearly identifies it as belonging to some community group from Upper Hutt, a satellite city of Wellington.
