** Both the series' promotional material (including the tie-in comics) and most fanart depicts the half-Vietnamese Artemis with a more "white" complexion and bright blue eyes[[note]]WordOfGod is that early promotional materials showing her with blue eyes are the result of a miscommunication[[/note]]. The actual show has her with noticeably darker skin than her Caucasian teammates and dark gray eyes.
** In "Beneath", Dick is explaining to Batgirl, Wonder Girl, Miss Martian, and Bumblebee that he put together an all-female team to investigate Queen Bee because her persuasion abilities don't work as competently on women as they do on men. Batgirl then asks Dick if he would've "felt the need to justify an all-male squad for a given mission?" At which point the rest of the squad gives Dick a dirty look and sheepishly asks "there's no right answer to that, is there?" When he logs out, Batgirl quips that Queen Bee's not the only one who can mess with men's minds, and the team laughs. Batgirl felt that Dick was being sexist when he was explaining that the team had a logical advantage against Queen Bee that a team of male members wouldn't, and was simply explaining in an intelligent manner that they had an advantage. Batgirl acted as a StrawFeminist and had no reason to jab at Dick. This was a FunnyAneurysm moment for some fans who laughed the first time, then realized what happened and felt Batgirl was being stupid.
** Any episode that deals with international politics tends to fall into this, especially for non-American viewers. The Episode "Targets" portrays "North and South Rhelasia", a paper-thin expy of the two Koreas, as being run by essentially bratty children who continue to fight with each other for no particular reason until Lex Luthor steps in as a white savior to point out that they apparently have no reason to fight, as being persuaded to peace... by promise of advanced military tech on both sides. The episode "Image" presents Quraq as essentially the culmination of all neoconservative propaganda about what Iraq would be like post-invasion with a leader who is Definitely Positively Democratically Elected and beloved by his people and supports the United States until the supervillain who runs Bialya corrupts him to want to hand his country over to her, at which point the heroes need to intervene to save Quraq from itself. The tie-in Comic has the democratic leader replaced by Sumaan Harjavti... who ''is'' in league with Queen Bee, willingly.

** In "Beneath", Nightwing is explaining to Batgirl, Wonder Girl, Miss Martian, and Bumblebee that he put together an all-female team to investigate Queen Bee because she can mind-control most men, but not most women. Batgirl then asks Dick if he would've "felt the need to justify an all-male squad for a given mission?", at which point the rest of the squad gives Nightwing a dirty look and he sheepishly resigns that "there's no right answer to that, is there?" When he logs out, Batgirl quips that Queen Bee's not the only one who can mess with men's minds, and the team laughs. Apparently Batgirl thought Nightwing was being sexist for neutrally explaining that an all-female team would have a logical advantage over Queen Bee and that putting males on the squad would be a hindrance. This was a FunnyAneurysm moment for some fans who laughed the first time, then realized what happened and felt Batgirl was being a StrawFeminist and giving Nightwing grief for no reason.

Their motivation is given in the show itself: They want to advance and evolve humanity through galactic conquest and accelerated evolution. Their methods are villainous, but they do have a definite goal given clearly in the show itself.

* VillainSue: To some fans, the Light as a whole is starting to become this: almost all episodes end with a "[[TheUntwist twist]]" revealing that 1) [[TheManBehindTheMan the villain from this episode (even if he appeared to be an independent villain at first) was working for them]], and 2) The apparent defeat the protagonists inflicted them end up at best retarding them a little, [[XanatosGambit at worst went as they planned and allows them to go further in their grand scheme]]. Even when the heroes undid the damage the Light dealt in the season 1 finale (which had been brewing for all of season 1, and actually had been pulled off), they just went ahead to "[[WhamLine Phase 2]]", and [[KarmaHoudini they still have yet to be completely defeated]]. The worst are arguably Vandal and Klarion--these two escape easily as soon as things go south. Klarion's powers make him a borderline instant win button for The Light, and the defeat in "Summit" didn't stop Vandal from [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomping]] three Justice Leaguers in under four in-universe minutes to activate the War World.
