Added DiffLines:

* GangOfBullies: The Legacy.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: For all their SmugSnake behavior throughout the movie, The Legacy are surprisingly graceful with their defeat at Cass's hands. Louis, the leader, even remarks that it was the best game he's ever played.]]
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: To the Meach
* SmugSnake: The leader of the Legacy tries so hard to be seen as a MagnificentBastard by Cass. [[ShutUpHannibal Yeah.]] Cass' total irreverence is not limited to [=NPCs=] in an rpg.

-->Cass: No. I'm gonna call you Louis - you look like a Louis to me.
-->Weaver: [[WorthyOpponent I see that we are evenly matched...]]
-->Cass: Not really, no. Is this going somewhere?
* StrawMisogynist: The Legacy intentionally play this up to help make themselves hated, although a few other players are shown as just as bad and Leo kicks one particularly offensive player out of his store in the very beginning. Cass (and Lodge in the extended cut) getting over their own sexism and double standards is also a major subplot.
* VillainSong: The Legacy has quite a catchy one.
