History YMMV / Warrior

* ClicheStorm: According to Rotten Tomotoes: "''Warrior'' relies on many of the clichés that critics of the genre love to mock -- [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools and it transcends them with gripping action, powerful acting, and heart]]."

-->'''[[WebVideo/Wrestling
WithWregret Brian Zane]]''': What is that monster doing to Santa Claus?

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Despite the acknowledged HoYay between Brendan and Frank, Tommy and Franky are the more popular ship despite never exchanging any lines of dialogue and not having any face-to-face interactions. This is likely due to Brendan being HappilyMarried to Tess while neither Tommy nor Frank display any romantic interest in women. Most of these fics depict Frank as having been attracted to Brendan in the past though.

* SignatureScene: Tommy easily beating Mad Dog unconscious in the gym is arguably the most well-known scene of the film, and is still quite popular on social media years later.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In both of Mad Dog's appearances he is quickly shown as all bark and no bite, as he is curb stomped by Tommy within a few seconds or a few minutes. Mad Dog could have been a tough challenger fuelled by revenge or he could have given Tommy a run for his money but Mad Dog is defeated without laying a punch on Tommy or even trying to force Tommy into a submission.

** Also of note: ''absolutely everything else that happens.''

* DesignatedHero: Warrior.

* NightmareFuel: The Christmas Special.
* SoBadItsGood: No one, aside from Warrior himself perhaps, would ever declare these books good. However, it is ''a lot'' of fun watching a CausticCritic try to decode them.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Music/TheNational bookends the movie. The version of "About Today"' at the end of the film is nothing short of brilliant.

** JerkassWoobie: Tommy was favored by his abusive, alcoholic father only because of his fighting talent. When he and his mother escaped the household, his brother didn't go with him, which he views as abandonment. His mother later dies, with only Tommy there to help her through her illness, and receives no support afterwards. He joins the Marines and is with his best friend until said best friend dies in a friendly fire attack. He joins the tournament to support the widow of his best friend, only to be alone in the ring in the fight against his brother, whereas Brendan has his wife and trainer with him. All this is with the knowledge that he will be forced into military court once the fight is over. However, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming he eventually reconciles with his brother]] [[TearJerker and cries in his arms at the end of the fight]].

* MartyStu: Warrior.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The end of the first comic has a random side plot with Warrior coming to the aid of a woman attempting suicide after being pelted with rocks and called a "half breed". Before that, you also had some guy who comes out of nowhere and says "Believe this"; he is never mentioned again.

* CompleteMonster: The Warrior because of what he did to Santa and company...and the events of issue #4, where he decides to go around the world killing major world figures (such as [[ThePope Pope John Paul II]], Nelson Mandela, and GeorgeHWBush) for no readily-apparent reason.

* PlotHole: Because the comic is more or less a RandomEventsPlot, plot holes come up in abundance.
