History WMG / ThePurgeUniverse

Likely as part of an anniversary event (the founding of the New America) or as a means of quelling a coming revolution. It will be extended from 12 hours to a day, a week or even longer, and will provide the series with ample amounts of DaylightHorror.

* FromACertainPointOfView, [[OneManArmy Leo]] was this during ThePurgeAnarchy, in that he's out that night on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against a man [[YouKilledMyFather who killed his son]]. [[spoiler: Subverted in that the man [[AccidentalMurder only killed Leo's son in a car accident]], and [[{{Forgiveness}} Leo forgives and spares him when he finally confronts him]], and then Double-Subverted when [[ChronicHeroSyndrome Leo goes out of his way to save Eva, Cali, Shane and Liz]], and [[KickTheSonOfABitch brutally takes down the Purgers hunting them]], even though it would've been easier to avoid them]].

* Also, nearly every crime we see is also a tort, subjecting the perp to civil liability. so all those rich people abducting people to purge are going to be sued into bankruptcy barring broader protections.

[[WMG: In future sequels, more and more sci-fi elements will be introduced.]]

It would certainly lead to a delicious HoistByTheirOwnPetard[=/=]DeathByIrony to the New America, but also gives plenty of room for an even bigger DownerEnding than the other Purge films - such as if the new government extends "The Purge" [[ForeverWar to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year]], [[KillEmAll until all of America is obliterated and eviscerated in the process]].

* According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, there are two rules to The Purge: no harming government leaders, and no weapons higher than "class 4" (probably military grade), and anyone who breaks those rules is executed. So no, there can't be an ironic take down. Even if a revolution is successful, there won't be any irony to it.

** Explored in the Purge TV show. The TV show featured two groups of people who, while not in costume, basically engage in vigilante behavior. One is a group of paramedics who illegally provide medical attention to the wounded and who fight back against Purgers doing bad, if encountered. Another is a group of female vigilantes who target men who attempt to harm women during the Purge and brand them so that women they might date know they are rapists/abusers.

''The Purge 4'' will open with the Supreme Court kindly explaining to the President that, no, she cannot just overrule a Constitutional Amendment via Executive Action!
* It was never said in the movie that she will use an executive Order to get rid of it, it was said that her first action as a president will be to "work on getting rid of it", so this troper figures that it is a long term thing. But what she could do if there will be another purge before she can stop the purge, she can limit the purge. For example immunise children (who do not participate) and forbid other actions.

He stars in a somewhat-popular television drama set in a boarding school or similar, the gang is a bunch of co-stars and extras, and the masks and suits are actually cosplays of his character. The women are dressed like the female lead.

** [[spoiler: Jossed; He really was just a random bystander who happened to be targeted by a group of vicious psychopaths. Their logic for going to such extremes to get to him is essential "He's a filthy homeless person and we're spoiled rich brats who have the right to kill him." He is also stated to have killed one as well, further drawing their wrath.]]

In return for a massive human sacrifice on Purge night they get prosperity for the rest of the year.

[[WMG: President Roan's attempt to stop the Purge will face a big case of RealityEnsues.]]

** Explored and deconstructed in the Purge TV show. The TV show featured two groups of people who, while not in costume, basically engage in vigilante behavior. One is a group of paramedics who illegally provide medical attention to the wounded and who fight back against Purgers doing bad, if encountered. Another is a group of female vigilantes who target men who attempt to harm women during the Purge and brand them so that women they might date know they are rapists/abusers. The show also deconstructed this with Lee Tergeson's character; who is shown as a masked vigilante type rescuing random people from Purgers... only to reveal that they are people who have wronged him or committed unknown slights towards him and that he's only "rescuing" them so he can kill them himself.

[[WMG: a future sequel will have police officers taking their weapons, uniforms, vehicles, and equipment and forming their own resistance group during The Purge.]]

* Jossed. The first Purge explicitly states that the rest of the world exists as normal after the New Founding Fathers took over. Furthermore, Purge: Election Year makes a huge point about establishing that the US has managed to create a booming "Purge Holiday" style sub-economy where people from all over the world come to the US explicitly to participate in the Purge. And the Purge TV show even states that other nations, like France (who were among the nations that denounced the Purge when it first started up) were going to set up their own version of Purge night due it's "success" and popularity.

[[WMG: One of the sequels will be set in UsefulNotes/LasVegas]]
One of [[Creator/BobChipman Moviebob]]'s questions (in addition to other crimes that can be committed on Purge night other than, well, "[[ThePurge Purging]]") is "Is Vegas taking odds on things?" This would give another twisted image of American excess that would be right at home with the New America that The Purge-universe is set in, as well as dogpiling other crimes ([[DrugsAreBad drug-taking/selling/producing]], [[SexSlave prostitution]]/[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping]], [[BlackMarket black marketeering]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking financial fraud]], etc.) in addition to the run of the mill Purging, all to simulate a WhileRomeBurns effect

* According to the website, the borders of the United States are entirely open and apparently there's quite a bit of immigration. That would suggest that the U.S. isn't the only country, but if it's good enough to attract immigrants who know that they're in danger, then that doesn't say a lot of good things about the rest of the world.
* Or other countries just simply ignore The Purge when it happens in this cinematic universe's America, for whatever reason.
** The other countries might be like the Purge every day. (Many countries are already like that in real life. Immigrants might prefer America because they would only have to worry about their safety one night a year while being assured a much better life for 364/5 days a year.

I'm not talking about a bunch of overweight nerds who would get killed on the first day, I'm talking about competent BadassNormal guys who are well trained. Somewhere out there, these men are fighting back and saving people.

[[WMG: There are/were Kick Ass type vigilantes patrolling the streets.]]
Since they lack the training of Bruce Wayne, they most likely got killed on the first day of the job.
