* TragicVillain: The reason why he hates Lance so bad is that Lance killed Killian's crew in a past mission and scarred Killian. Made worse by the fact Killian truly did care for his comrades. BUT he was evil before he was scarred and his crew died and it doesn't justify him targeting all the spies in the world.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Lovey falls for Lance hard once he becomes a pigeon. While she is noticeably as surprised as everyone else at the sudden reveal that his pigeon form is biologically female, she still displays attraction towards him. Lance being turned human again does nothing to dull her ardor, to the point that she even actively tries to blow shoot Marcy with one of Walter's more volatile non-lethal weapons out of jealousy. Male, female, pigeon or human, Lovey only has eyes for Lance.

* JerkassHasAPoint: If you take away the morality of Walter's Do No Harm practices, Lance's contempt for him at the beginning of the movie isn't exactly unmerited. Regardless of the effectiveness of Walter's unorthodox gadgets, it doesn't change the fact that Walter meddled with Lance's equipment behind his back without his consent, and doing so caused Lance to be affected the same as his assailants and got a knife dangerously close to his throat due to being caught off-guard. Such behavior in spying and government businesses is inexcusable since as little as one miscommunication or mistake can mean the difference between success and failure, or life and death. Lance was the most merciful compared to how Joy Jenkins would've handled the news.
