* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Well, ''stand-alone'' sequel to put it techincally, but Loki serves as this to Dorian. Dorian was a regular human being while Loki is a God. Dorian's actions stemmed from greed and power and is proven to be more heartless while Loki's actions stemmed from father issues and is shown to be more redeemable.

* BabysFirstWords: The moment where Tim realizes Alvey [[EnfantTerrible is not normal]]: one day, Alvey suddenly says "mama". A delighted Tim then tries to encourage Alvey to say "dada", and after a few tries, Alvey suddenly responds by saying ''"Mother"'' [[VocalDissonance in deep, perfectly articulate, adult man's voice]].

* QuestionableConsent: Tim has sex with Tanya while under the Mask's influence, which she didn't realize (he crawled into bed in the dark). It's quite likely she wouldn't have if his appearance was clear to her. This leads to the conception of her son too, and so there's the implication that he may be a {{child by rape}}.

%%* AmusingInjuries
* AnimalsLackAttributes: Otis the dog is partly played by a real dog and partly by horrifying animation. When the dog is real, it obviously has the equipment you would expect but as soon as it puts on the mask and becomes animated the downstairs department is noticeably lacking. This could have been handwaved as being an effect of the mask itself, had it not been for the fact that the whole premise of the movie is that a human male impregnates his wife whilst wearing the mask, not to mention the original movie had Milo, Stanley's dog, also wearing the mask and peeing on one of the thugs. With a visible penis.

* AmusingInjuries: Most of the comedy is slapstick. The scenes with Alvey and Otis fighting get especially violent.

** Tim's car at the end is possibly the only cool thing in this movie.
** Don't forget Loki's black and green '66 Ford Mustang Coupe. That was a pretty nice car.

* MsFanservice: A bespectacled woman wears a slinky black kitty-cat costume to the office Halloween party, to which the professional and monogamous Tim as the mask does a [[EyePop wild take]] on her. [[BeautifulAllAlong In order to bring her out of her shell]], Tim wraps the woman up like a mummy, spins her into a tornado, thereby unraveling her, ultimately changing her costume into a red swimsuit. You know... typical office flirting.
** Tim's best friend, Jorge (Kal Penn) catches the woman as she falls, following up on a romance that was only barely briefed on before.

** A more traditional example would be [[spoiler:Alvey's vision of seeing his father landed in a psychiatric hospital due to nobody believing the fact that he was being tormented by his mask power-endowed one-year-old son]], which has the surrounding environment (albeit crudely) traditionally animated, with a live-action Tim interacting with the storybook-esque environment. Don't worry, it [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext makes just as much sense reading it as it does watching the scene itself.]]

* PlotHole: After Odin, possessing Tim, strips Loki of all his divine powers, Alvey grabs two dumpsters and clearly crushes Loki between them which only results in Loki being dazed and stumbling into another dumpster instead of turning him into a mangled bloody corpse, despite his invincibility having been revoked just seconds ago.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Mixed with DullSurprise; Dr. Newman is completely unfazed by Loki roaring his disagreement before being consumed by black smoke which turns him into his true form. Even when he faces is removed, his tone of voice never changes.

* SadlyMythtaken: Among its many other faults, the movie also gets Norse mythology wrong. Odin and Loki are not father and son in Myth/NorseMythology, they are bond brothers. It's such a huge mistake that either the writers just didn't care or their only familiarity with Norse mythology was from Marvel's version. They're second cousins at most. And Loki would not have fooled Odin by telling him Balder was coming back because Balder is [[DeadToBeginWith dead]]... because Loki killed him (indirectly, but still).

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: OK, so, Fringe City is located 270 miles southwest of Edge City. Stanley Ipkiss tossed the Mask into the ocean ten years previously. At the start of the movie, it's floating upriver near Tim's home. So, to recap: not only did the Mask float the wrong way up the river, it also took ten years to travel 270 miles. And it's going at about five miles per hour.
