* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: We're supposed to feel bad for the depowered heroes for losing their abilities and finding their lives completely pulled out from under them, but it's really hard to given how much they whine and complain. Most of them don't show much interest in figuring out the cause of their loss of power or getting them back, and just sit around moping about how much not having powers sucks. The Phoenix Group ''does'' try and rebuild their lives and become heroes again, but their desire to do so is framed as them missing the feeling of being powerful and wanting to recapture it, not that they want to go back to saving lives and stopping villains.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The ending tries to be uplifting as it shows a new generation of heroes rising as the de-powered superbeings take up crimefighting again under new monikers, Clark and Diana become a couple, and [[spoiler:their infant son exhibits superpowers]]. The happiness is overridden when one remembers all the innocents who were killed in the process of them losing their powers, numerous magical characters (including close friends of the heroes and entire civilizations) are still missing, Kyle Raynor [[spoiler:got himself killed due to his obsession with his enemy]], and there's still a lot of supervillains active.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The story tries to tell us that a new generation of heroes is about. The problems with this are that there were likely millions of innocents ''killed'' due to people losing their powers, few superheroes getting over their problems, the magical characters (close friends of the heroes and entire civilizations) are still mysteriously missing, and Kyle Rayner ultimately ends up killed due to psychotic obsession. This isn't getting into the fact that many tech-based supervillains ''keep'' their powers and abilities, and that one [[spoiler: new, superpowered being]] doesn't make the world better.

* {{Wangst}}: Superman, Green Lantern, and many other depowered heroes suffer from this. Instead of trying to make new lives for themselves or try to figure out the cause behind their depowering and a way to reverse it, they basically turn into a bunch of sad-sacks who don't even ''try to do anything''.
