History YMMV / Jumper

* CrazyIsCool: Griffin, the British Jumper from the movie, everything he says & does is awesome & crazy & both. Most of the Awesome in the movie is his.

* AcceptableTargets: The Paladins being KnightTemplar religious fanatics is pretty straightforward on that.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Before she was shot into international stardom with ''{{Literature/Twilight}}'', Creator/KristenStewart played David's younger half-sister, just eight months before the release of the first ''Twilight'' film.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Griffin has the reputation to be far more popular than the main characters. His popularity resulted in a video game spinoff centered on him. Whether it's because he's such a CrazyPrepared Badass or because he's played by Jamie Bell or both is your choice. Becomes HarsherInHindsight when Jamie Bell revealed that he hated the production of the movie (More details on Wiki/TheOtherWiki).

* DorkAge: Readers who are not fans of the Cent duology consider it to be one of these, as the NebulousEvilOrganization built up in ''Reflex'' suffers from strong VillainDecay without much buildup and the two main characters of the first books, Davy and Millie, are essentially static backdrops to the story of their child, Cent. It is likely this is why the TV series inspired by the third book, ''Series/Impulse2018'' ended up going with an OriginalCharacter and plot, rather than adapting the events of these books, and instead took inspiration from plot points in the earlier books.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: As noted above, the second novel in the tetralogy is largely devoted to building up a NebulousEvilOrganization as the big new villains. This group is then ''immediately'' subjected to VillainDecay in the third book (one operative and some local criminals are the full extent of their presence in the plot), making the reader one why Gould even went to all the trouble of building it up in the first place.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Before she was shot into international stardom with {{Literature/Twilight}}, Creator/KristenStewart played David's younger half-sister, just eight months before the release of the first Twilight film.

* MemeticMutation: Given that the main protagonist and antagonist are portrayed by Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson respectively, the scene where Roland attacks David is often viewed as [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Mace Windu getting revenge against Anakin Skywalker]]. As seen in [[https://youtu.be/8DGDcUWN_sQthis video]].

* ThatOneLevel: You ''will'' find one that you will have a lot of trouble with. Take your pick. Maze levels are possibly the worst offender, requiring you to navigate a ''whole'' level jumping, with little to no breaks. [[SchizophrenicDifficulty It's possible to have less deaths in Chapter 5 than Chapter 4 or 3 due to it not having one.]]

* CrazyAwesome: Griffin, the British Jumper from the movie, everything he says & does is awesome & crazy & both. Most of the Awesome in the movie is his.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The movie adaptation. Depending on how you ask, some people might be slightly sympathetic to the ''antagonists'', though ultimately neither side is composed of adjusted, decent human beings.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[spoiler: David's mother is revealed to be one of the leaders of the Paladins, the same group that's been slaughtering Jumpers and their families for possibly carrying the bloodline to be a Jumper. In response she abandoned David for his safety to be neglected and abused by her husband before going off and having a ReplacementGoldfish daughter with someone else in solitude when her daughter could have easily been born a Jumper like David. All of this ends up making her actions come off as a mixture of UselessBystanderParent and {{Hypocrite}} instead of sympathetic.]]

* DorkAge: Readers who are not fans of the Cent duology consider it to be one of these, as the the NebulousEvilOrganization built up in ''Reflex'' suffers from strong VillainDecay without much buildup and the two main characters of the first books, Davy and Millie, are essentially static backdrops to the story of their child, Cent.

* LesYay: Cent and Hyacinth in ''Exo'', to the point where one wonders if Gould brought in Creator/ChrisClaremont for writing tips.

* ThatOneLevel: You ''will'' find one that you will have a lot of trouble with. Take your pick.

* StrangledByTheRedString: Related to the above, but Creator/HaydenChristensen and Rachel Bilson ''really'' don't have a lot of chemistry together in their roles as David and Millie, and Millie herself comes across as a bit of a third wheel.
