* OlderThanTheyThink: An entire Kryptonian city surviving the destruction of its planet and floating through space is an idea previously used in ''Action Comics 261'' (although that unnamed city lacked an energy dome like Argo City, and so none of its residents appear to have survived the trip through space).

** Jer-Em's warnings about Kryptonians being not meant to have godlike powers are regarded as a fundamentalist's ramblings, but later stories such like ''ComicBook/NewKrypton'' would show Kryptonians abusing their godlike powers and bullying other races. It does not help he is not sentenced to the Zone because of jeopardizing the whole city, but because Argoans lost their awesome powers.

Misuse. Does not mention audience avoiding work.


* EndingAversion: The ending where everyone in Argo City besides Zor-El and his family succumb to the radiation isn't exactly the most popular part of the story.

Added DiffLines:

* HesJustHiding: Zor-El and Alura are the only ones to escape to the Survival Zone and believe that everyone else in the city is dead at that point. Still, fans like to think that at least a few additional Argo City residents manage to survive by escaping into space like Kara or shielding themselves from the Kryptonite.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The citizens of Argo City. They are ordinary people (families, rescue workers, etc.) who temporarily develop super powers and struggle to survive a radiation storm in vain after already losing their home planet. Plenty of fans wanted to see more of them survive along with Zor-El and Alura. This sentiment apparently extends to writers, as several different continuities have more survivors of the city.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** A subplot where a woman of unsound mind mistakes her daughter for a doll would be used in an even more disturbing fashion by ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' thirty years later.
