*** A week before Aimee Kelly competed, Hannah Laing (Galna) placed 5th in her heat. She would later go on to be a successful DJ who had a U.K. top 10 hit during summer 2023.

** In the original iteration of The Last Stand, the warriors had to dodge [[ShockAndAwe lightning bolts]] from Nevar, which in reality were paintballs. It’s not uncommon to see the paint either on the armour of someone who was hit, or on a nearby palisade after a miss.

* ValuesResonance: The fact that Raven never comments on some of the warriors having disabilities and instead treats them equally to their abled peers comes across as an example showing able viewers how these warriors are just as human as anyone else without falling into the PositiveDiscrimination or FlawlessToken tropes. That (possibly unintentional) lesson is just as important in the 2020s and beyond as it was in the early 2000s.

As the show first premiered in 2002, I think this can safely be added now.


** Hanso [[spoiler: losing every single challenge on the last day of series seven and throwing her substantial lead away to finish second to Versad is almost hard to watch, especially after she's TryingNotToCry after failing Boulder Run because she dropped a ring.]]

** Thyran's elimination in series 8 as a result of injuring her wrist in Ring Rack. This incident resulted in the challenge not returning in the two revival series.


Added DiffLines:

** Fire Demon in series 2 seemed more luck based than skill based to most viewers and it didn't help that the challenge was played twice a week and the CGI effects were not great. Fortunately, when the challenge returned in series 6, it was only played once a week and the CGI effects had improved (even though it still isn't liked by some).

* {{Wangst}}: In WCW, Raven's nihilistic attitude was revealed to be a result of his incredibly wealthy family being annoying rather than due to depression. This was officially declared CanonDiscontinuity by Wrestling/{{ECW}}, and Raven has not mentioned the angle since it happened. Which sucks on some level, since it could easily tie every single one of his characters together, with Johnny Polo's sometimes-eccentric commentary hinting at mental issues that a family so blinded by wealth ''would'' miss and Raven being the result an irreversible psychological break caused by this strange spoiled young man having one too many disappointments their money should've protected him from.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: He had two themes based on Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Come As You Are" - his WCW theme, imaginatively titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON_BqmOCXQY "Raven"]] (and written by Wrestling/{{Jimmy Hart}}), and his TNA theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XCJYw_9v8U "Scream"]], which was a remix of the WCW version. His other TNA theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9N_1DPKP_Y "Offspring"]], was heavily based on "Come Out and Play" by Music/{{The Offspring}}, which had been his RealSongThemeTune in ECW.sampled from his WCW theme, but some people prefer TNA's version.

** His [[?v=ON_BqmOCXQY WCW theme]] simply known as "Raven", which is an instrumental cover of Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Come As You Are". Agressive and somewhat mournful, it fits the Flock's nihilistic cult leader very well.

** Some fans had this opinion as early as series 8 when Raven switched filming locations to Aviemore after having been filmed around Castle Toward for the first seven series. Other changes fans disliked were showing CGI scoring in place of the live scoring scenes and the warriors responding to being asked if they were ready to start a challenge by shouting "Ready" when before, they would nod their heads.

!! For the Comic Book Character.

* CantUnHearIt: Quite hard to not hear Creator/TaraStrong's version of Raven when reading the comics.
* LesYay: Her and Starfire in many versions of the characters, notably in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne.''
* MemeticMolester: Especially with her demonic tentacles.
* TheWoobie: Her past and what she goes through could make you feel sorry for her.
** IronWoobie: She's the most hopeful of the team and tries her hardest to protect her friends no matter the situation.
** JerkassWoobie: Her witty remarks and sarcasm can make her this.
** StoicWoobie: Due to her keeping her emotions in check.
* TearJerker: Moments before Trigon's first reign of terror begins, Zatanna spills the beans on what Raven did to get Kid Flash to join the Titans, causing them all to distrust her and disband. Leaving her to tearfully beg them to come back for it is mere seconds until he arrives. What makes it a moment of heartwarming though is of all the Titans, Robin and Starfire are the ones that still believe her.
