* WeddingEpisode: One of the early videos on Elliot's first YouTube channel, which subsequently became the first on his second when he lost the first channel, was his and Steph's wedding.

* DefiniteArticleTitle: '''The''' War Hawks

* TheFace: Elliot, he may have Aspergers but Social Skills are one of his specialties, as evidenced by the fact some of his strongest bonds are with the anti-social/loner members of the group (ex. Beth, Amber, Nick) Beth even lampshades this by stating she was "adopted kicking and screaming" by him.

** And now from his [=RE3=] remake stream we have [[WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic "We're the War Hawks, we endure it (horrors in games such as The Nemesis) so YOU don't have to!"]]

* ZergRush: Much like [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder the nWo]] one of the things about the War Hawks (both in wresting video games and in real life) is that there's just so damn '''many''' of them. With 56 people being the Discord server dedicated to the group alone. And that's not even all of them! Elliot himself put it best: "We're not Wrestling/TheShield. We're not gonna all come at you from one direction. We're gonna come at you from every direction we can. Oh sure you can ''try'' to run. You're just not gonna get very far! You can try to fight back, it just won't do you any good!"

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Elliot frequently gives people speeches like this. Stephen once said to him "You have no idea what I'm capable of." To which he responded "Yes, I do, I saw your potential the first time I met you. Why do you think I befriended you and asked you to join this team in the first place?" He also frequently admonishes his teammates when they talk down about themselves. Is always hyping them up, and tells them things he loves about them. If you needed anymore convincing about his status as TheHeart of the team, this is probably it.

* EasilyForgiven: {{Averted}} HARD in a case of RealityEnsues. TJ was put through hell to rejoin the group. With Elliot refusing to budge on his ruling for almost a year. It took a request from Britt herself to even get a vote going with regards to allowing him back in. Even then, he almost considered requiring a unanimous vote, before finding it too harsh knowing it wouldn't happen.

** TJ and [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Big Evil]] are both second in commands to their respective leaders. However, while TJ and Elliot [[HeadbuttingHeroes don't always see eye to eye]] and TJ gives him a lot of shit. Big Evil is a DragonWithAnAgenda who usurped Xerios when he left and took over the second in command position upon the groups merging.
** Will and [=NyteRyder=] are TheBigGuy and TheBrute to their respective teams. However while Will is a lovable guy who is close to all his team mates and loyal. [=NyteRyder=], despite being BigEvil's twin brother is loyal to no one and plays more of a DumbMuscle role.

** Josh and Seito are the leaders of the respective "B Teams" of their groups. However, while Josh accepts that he's not the ''main'' leader he still has an important role in the group. Seito is portrayed as TheStarscream and who constantly plots to overthrow the main leader. Having already culled Xerios from his leadership position.

** Matthew and Ramseyes are late additions to the their teams who jumped at the idea of joining. However, while Matthew was welcomed into his group without an hesitation. Ramseyes was put through a brutal initiation, being brutally beaten up by the other members. Giving him strong BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil vibes.

** Elliot was originally one of the co-leaders of his group who had a ''severe'' case of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder but ultimately [[UndyingLoyalty remained loyal to them]] and eventually becoming the sole leader overall. While Xerios was the Leader of the Horsemen upon joining the up until he ultimately decided [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he didn't need them anymore]] and forming the Eternal Masters. Only to be DemotedToDragon upon doing so and being pushed even further down the totem pole when the two groups merged. For bonus points, Elliot and Xerios are often played up as TheRival to one another due to their [[SuperPoweredEvilSide unique relationship to one another]].

* ThePsychoRangers: Elliot actually made 2 of these in games to combat the original 10 members of the War Hawks. The Eternal Masters, a group of real life friends of Elliot's [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Xerios]] who let him make them in game with him explicitly stating this to be the case. And the Horsemen [[Wrestling/TheFourHorsemen no, not them]] more like [[FourHorsemenOfTheApocalypse them]]. There were even originally only 4 members. The two teams eventually merged taking this up to 11. While the War Hawks are TrueCompanions who came together out genuine friendship and a desire to achieve a common goal. The two teams coming together was more an alliance of convenience as they individually were outnumbered 2 to 1, with the Masters eventually pulling a HeelFaceTurn and joining the War Hawks proper. For the individual members:

* ShownTheirWork: Elliot actually makes a concentrated effort to do this when doing a review. Doing as much extensive research as he can to make sure all information he gives is correct to the best of his knowledge. Such as the reviews of the Franchise/ResidentEvil games he's currently planning. He's finished his script for [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 the first game]] and is currently working on the script for [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 the second one]]. Making sure to include bits out the production and games that viewers may not be aware of.

HeartwarmingMoments: Elliot's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxHa-Y18Vr0 reaction]] to the moment he achieves affiliate status on Twitch. He legitimately sounds like he's about to cry (later confirmed by WordOfGod to actually have been the case) as he thanks everyone who helped him get there from the bottom of his heart.

** Also their ShowWithAShow WHEI is short for War Hawks Entertainment Inc., the reason for the War Hawks in the name being obvious.
