* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Fans of low-budget NarmCharm type fantasy media might recognize Jake Stormoen (Dagen) and Adam Johnson (Thane) from their leading and supporting roles in the quite successful TV series ''Series/TheOutpost'', which started airing a couple of years after the last ''Mythica'' movie was filmed.
** There are quite a few viewers who are seeking out these movies specifically for [[Creator/MatthewMercer Matthew Mercer's]] involvement, thanks to his very high recognition in the Dungeons & Dragons player community as the DM of the highly popular actual-play webseries ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', which started live-streaming in the same year as the release of ''The Darkspore'', but took a couple of years to really gain a large audience. And the fact that Critical Role has now started producing more [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina mainstream animated series]] based on their adventures in that webseries (still with the same group of voice-actors, with Mercer voicing several important antagonists) might give these indie movies yet another lease on life.

* SameLanguageDub: Due to the target audience's [[WebVideo/CriticalRole greatly increased familiarity]] with [[Creator/MatthewMercer Matt Mercer's]] voice since the release year of ''The Darkspore'', it has become quite obvious that he didn't just play Szorlok, but also overdubbed Kishkumen's dialogue in post. Given that this film is Ryan Palmer's last IMDb credit, it seems likely that the actor wasn't available for necessary ADR.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Qole was originally written as an assassin orc that would hunt the team down initially, only to experience a HeelFaceTurn later on. Unfortunately, the actor set to play him was unable to apply the prosthetics in time as he had portrayed an alien beast in another Arrowstorm production ''Survivor'' and the latex's glue badly affected his skin. The character was ultimately changed to an elf.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The first three films were picked up by [=CONtv=], a streaming service owned by Cinedigm, and ''A Quest for Heroes'' and ''The Darkspore'' were billed as [=CONtv=] Originals. While the plan was to debut all three films by the end of 2015, the network delayed the release of ''The Necromancer'' for an unknown reason. During the delay, DVD rights for the series were obtained by a small distributor called [=SunWorld=] Pictures. They ended up releasing ''The Necromancer'' ahead on any digital release. When it finally premiered on [=CONtv=] in September 2016, they dropped the "Originals" brand from that film. The remaining two films bypassed the platform altogether, leaving [=SunWorld=] to [[ChannelHop take over]] VOD duties.

* CelebrityResemblance: The physical similarities between Creator/KevinSorbo and Creator/MatthewMercer have been noted. Mercer even jokes in an episode of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' that while filming their first scene together, Sorbo gave him a quizzical stare and playfully asked ''"...What's your mother's name?"''
