History YMMV / InSpaceWithMarkiplier

* EvilIsSexy:
** The Bandit, while more unscrupulous than evil, is a criminal alien who has already attracted many fans with her confident attitude and appearance. The scene where she gets very close to the viewer and strokes their hand is especially of note.
** A lot of fans really liked the climactic scene where [[spoiler: Mark turns on the Captain, knocks Cap down, grabs Cap's hand in a dominating manner, and says, "''Don't,''" in an assertive and serious tone of voice. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PSlcSrO0jI Mark himself doesn't get it.]] It may have something to do with [[UsefulNotes/AnimeFanSpeak gap moe]]. Or Mark's deep voice. Or a combination of the above.]]

* MemeticMutation:
** "Pop 'er in Reverse!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Burt's suggestion for how to deal with the wormhole.[[/labelnote]]
** "Fix it from outside!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A common, surefire way to save the ship -- namely, [[spoiler:leaping out an airlock to kill yourself and reset the time loop]].[[/labelnote]]
** "Hell yeah!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mark's enthusiastic reaction every time you let him jump back into the wormhole, even though [[spoiler:it gruesomely kills him every single time he does it]]. His [[GrinOfAudacity expression]] in the thumbnail also qualifies.[[/labelnote]]
** "Don't."[[labelnote:Explanation (spoiler)]]In the penultimate scene of Mark rebuilding the warp core and stopping you, his TranquilFury delivery of this very line spurned on an... [[PerverseSexualLust interesting reaction]] with some fans. Mark and Amy acknowledge this in their livestream. Mark was surprised by this, but it seems Amy wasn't since many people on set agreed.[[/labelnote]]

** On the flip side, Young Mark's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization]] that [[spoiler: he was responsible for the paradox in the first place]]. He's not just upset to learn this, he's outright ''devastated'', collapsing into tears and giving the Captain a quiet, broken apology. It's made even worse by Mark [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct acting the hell out of the moment]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: One minor criticism of ''[[WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier Heist]]'' was that, since the runtime of each decision was [[InterfaceSpoiler visible]] to the audience ahead of time, it was fairly easy to guess which path would lead to a death. Since ''Space'' takes a [[ResurrectiveImmortality different approach]] to its deaths, the runtimes don't necessarily give them away anymore.

* EvilIsSexy: The Bandit, while more unscrupulous than evil, is a criminal alien who has already attracted many fans with her confident attitude and appearance. The scene where she gets very close to the viewer and strokes their hand is especially of note.

** In the last "Fix it from outside" reset, the climax has the entire crew and even the ship's computer constantly blame Mark for the wormhole. Even the Captain swatting aside a crewmember to activate the Event Horizon protocol is blamed on him. Furthermore, that whole sequence begins with Celci reporting on the wormhole with a delivery in the vein of a child tattling on their sibling

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1SVmXMYiyc The Last Goodbye]]" from the end credits (and, briefly, in [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier Yancy]]'s cameo]]) is basically an [[TheAntiNihilist Anti-Nihilist]] rebuttal to the above, and quite a catchy one.

** Mack, the imposter who takes Mark's place on the ''Invincible II'' in part 2. [[spoiler:He's a BitchInSheepsClothing with a god complex, but his FreakOut when you call him out -- and his subsequent death via OminousVisualGlitch -- makes him somewhat sympathetic in spite of it]]. His being played by [[WebVideo/GameTheory MatPat]] also helps.

** Old Mark's appearances in Part 2: when you meet him in the diner, he wearily talks about how he regrets everything he did, how tired he is and how long he's been trying to fix things, and yet all he seems to do is make them worse. [[spoiler: The second time, he's not regretful, he's ''resigned'', even relieved, to finally have the end in sight, even if it wasn't what he'd hoped for. He reminisces on his time with the Captain, and even tries to comfort them before fading away.]]

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In Part 2, depending on the Captain's choices, they can encounter Wilford Warfstache, who books them an interview for October 30th, 2019. Notable about his scenes is how he casually stabs the wormhole with his knife, causing it to deflate like a balloon, and later after the interview is booked and Warfstache gets another wormhole for the Captain, they come across what appears to be another segment where they must choose to go either left or right, Warfstache declares no more choices and pops the path on the left, automatically sending the captain on the path to the right.

** In a way, the Captain is this as well. Yes, there are many times when they’re a [[BadBoss]] to Mark and cause a lot of trouble for fun. At the same time though, they’re doing everything they possibly can to save everyone, to the point of angry desperation. And even when it seems they’ve done everything right and saved everyone, they’re sent straight back to the beginning to relive it all over again. To top it off, everyone in the universe blames THEM for everything going wrong with the wormhole. [[spoiler: Later, we learn that it wasn't them who caused the chaos, but Mark, who created the wormhole accidentally to try and set things right. Even Mark, who had been their loyal companion and trusted friend the whole time turns on them, even trying to murder the captain.]]

* JerkassWoobie: The Lady. She's a RabidCop who repeatedly chases down the Captain with the intent to kill them, but she's only doing so because she's convinced they're out to destroy the universe and is desperate to stop them. Hints of her [[IntriguedByHumanity true]] [[GenkiGirl personality]] are easy to spot beneath the surface, indicating that she'd likely be a friend under different circumstances. [[spoiler: Her final scene in Part 2 is quite sad, with her slowly dying of chest wounds while apologizing for her actions, having realized she was wrong, urging the Captain not to give up hope, and letting them hold her hand as she begins to expire.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Wug is ''adored'' by the fanbase for being a jovial, armor-clad alien who [[NoIndoorVoice shouts every word]] but is nonetheless helpful and friendly... [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge most of the time]].

** "The Last Goodbye" from the end credits (and, briefly, in [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier Yancy]]'s cameo]]) is basically an [[TheAntiNihilist Anti-Nihilist]] rebuttal to the above, and quite a catchy one.
