1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: How Xenophobic is Bryce? He tried to prevent The Captain from Genociding the blue aliens, but qucikly added it would be "sweet" if they did. He was also most open to diplomacy with the Alien Queen and that she was "cool and intelligent" [[YouAreACreditToYourRace for an alien]]. It's likely that he only said that genociding aliens would be fun was to fit in with the Legionaires rather than a deep-seething hatred like Captain and Hatemonger has.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Of all characters, the jester imp briefly used as a TakeThat against "media aimed at mentally-ill teenage girls" attracted fanart, prompting the official Flashgitz Twitter account to [[https://x.com/FlashgitzAnims/status/1764702549548933614 highlight]] it, [[https://x.com/FlashgitzAnims/status/1765782797128548577 twice]].
3-->"I'm glad the internet is taking the right things from ''Space King''."
4* FanNickname: "Impni" for the jester imp that appears at the end as a riff on ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' and ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus''.
5* NauseaFuel: The ending where Chestnut has to collect the Globules of his team-mates in an OverlyLongGag. Even moreso in the Patreon-exclusive uncensored version, where viewers get treated to [[spoiler:a closeup of Hatemonger's misshapen penis.]]
6* TheWoobie:
7** Chestnut, the squad medic. While the other Star Defenders are excitable and aggressive, Chestnut is oddly meek and withdrawn, and is frequently put down or disregarded by Captain. His job of recovering the globules from dead Defenders clearly distresses him (nearly puking after having to interact with Hatemonger's bisected remains). His ImagineSpot of Space King's voice calls him a "worthless piece of shit" rather than offer praise and reassurance, hinting at a severe self-loathing complex. Finally, while he ''[[YankTheDogsChain almost]]'' gets a chance to shine by shooting the alien lady to save Captain's life, it leads to the Divinity of Space King being damaged and Captain getting crushed to death under it, leaving Chestnut [[SoleSurvivor alone]] and embarrassed while he gathers up the corpses of his team.
