* AnAesop: Each episode after the trailer has at least one.
** "Ten Steps to Saving the World that Totally Won't Work": The state of society can only improve through mass-collaboration and putting aside petty differences to make sure the material needs of struggling individuals are all met.
** "The Most Epic Superhero Origin Story": All emotions are valid, but you should not use them to hurt other people. Also, feminism has done a lot of good for the world.
** "The Most Epically Inspirational Sports Movie": Your hobbies are just as valid with or without the support of your friends. Also, as whispered at the end, trans rights are human rights.
** "The Most Epic Crime-Stopping Mission": Paperwork is often an unnecessary annoyance, but you still need to get it done. Although the necessity of running society by paperwork in the first place is still left up to interpretation. Also, law enforcement isn't perfect and can target the wrong people.
** "The Most Epic Romance": Romance isn't necessary for happiness, and you definitely shouldn't approach it with an EntitledToHaveYou mindset. Also, "romance experts" online often have terrible advice.
** "The Most Epic [[SuperVillain SuperVILLAIN]] Origin Story": A collaborative, unionized workforce is much more effective than one where one person makes every decision. Especially when the person in charge is a PointyHairedBoss like [[EvilIsHammy Ridiculously Epic]].
** "The Most Epic Sci-Fi Adventure": Immigration can be a beautiful thing by bringing together two different worlds peacefully. It also doubles down on the previous episode's pro-union Aesop.
** "The Most Epic Day in the Life at a Soul-Sucking Job": Be kind and reasonable to employees and don't blame them for the decisions that their managers make, because they are simply trying to make their living in a capitalist world. It also doubles-down on the "excessive paperwork is an unnecessary annoyance" Aesop of episode 5.
** "The Most Epic Teaching Experience": Teachers are typically only trying to help you. Being unnecessarily antagonistic to them only hurts your own learning experience and makes it more difficult for them to pass on knowledge. A secondary Aesop is that classroom education should evolve to more effectively account for different learning styles.
** "The Most Epic Introspective Journey on a Nautical Voyage": The best cure for a bleak outlook on the world is to believe in the possibility for change, and to hold on to one's goals and aspirations even when not seeing immediately obvious results for them. A secondary Aesop is that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you may be more of a positive influence on those around you than you know.]]
** "The Most Epic Mystical Quest": [[CapitalismIsBad People will exploit you for money if you are not careful]]. But if it happens to you, do not blame yourself for it. Instead question why the world values money over people in the first place, and challenge that way of the world.

He spends the entire episode completely ignoring one assistant ([[OnlySaneMan Epic Robot Guy]]) while insulting and being a JerkAss to his other one ([[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ridiculously Epic Fail]]).

* CapitalismIsBad: A running theme through the series, directly called out by [[TheHero Epic-Man]] himself on most occasions, though other characters arrive at similar conclusions through their experiences too. The message is most blatant in “The Most Epic Mystical Quest”.


Added DiffLines:

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: When Captain Epic is feeling down about himself, [[HeelFaceTurn Epic Robot Guy]] informs him that he was inspired to become a better person because of Captain Epic’s dedication to doing good. This promptly revitalizes Captain Epic’s spirit.

** “The Most Epic Introspective Journey on a Nautical Voyage”: The best cure for a bleak outlook on the world is to believe in the possibility for change, and to hold on to one’s goals and aspirations even when not seeing immediately obvious results for them. A secondary Aesop is that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you may be more of a positive influence on those around you than you know.]]
** “The Most Epic Mystical Quest”: [[CapitalismIsBad People will exploit you for money if you are not careful]]. But if it happens to you, do not blame yourself for it. Instead question why the world values money over people in the first place, and challenge that way of the world.

* DullSurprise: [[BuffySpeak Epic Robot Guy]] is a deliberate example. He is completely unenthused and seems bored about singing the "epic" trailer song, in contrast to the enthusiasm of the other characters.

** “The Most Epic Sci-Fi Adventure”: Immigration can be a beautiful thing by bringing together two different worlds peacefully. It also doubles down on the previous episode’s pro-union Aesop.
** “The Most Epic Day in the Life at a Soul-Sucking Job”: Be kind and reasonable to employees and don’t blame them for the decisions that their managers make, because they are simply trying to make their living in a capitalist world. It also doubles-down on the “excessive paperwork is an unnecessary annoyance” Aesop of episode 5.
** “The Most Epic Teaching Experience”: Teachers are typically only trying to help you. Being unnecessarily antagonistic to them only hurts your own learning experience and makes it more difficult for them to pass on knowledge. A secondary Aesop is that classroom education should evolve to more effectively account for different learning styles.

* BigNo: Ridiculously Epic [[EvilIsHammy unleashes one]] at the end of “The Most Epic Supervillain Origin Story” when it turns out that he accidentally helped a bunch of orphans instead of causing the destruction that he intended to.



* VillainProtagonist: Ridiculously Epic, the BigBad, takes center stage and is more or less the main protagonist of episodes 2 and 7, “Ten Steps to Saving the World that Totally Won’t Work” and “The Most Epic Supervillain Origin Story”, respectively. He is just as evil as usual during these episodes.
