Soundtrack Dissonance: Lemon Jelly's upbeat "Nice Weather For Ducks" plays during the credits, while the rest of the soundtrack is much more serious in nature. Fridge Brilliance, in that Steinmann comes from R.J's Serious Build Server. Serious Business: Steinmann seems to take the game rather seriously (presumably being crashed by the remover gun somehow makes you totally unable to log in again, but he stays up all night playing the game just running away.). Sequel Hook: Despite the increased security to ensure nothing like the Mingepods ever happens again, it appears that there are some remnants of them left. 
Run or Die: By the midway through the movie everyone, including the Admins, realize that this is the only thing you can do against the Mingepods. Not So Invincible After All: The Mingepods could easily be taken out with Lua coded bricks which undoes the welds holding them together (The Artileery guns use them, Two Admin planes use them as bombs, And one could believe that the Thunder Child uses them for her ammunition.) What makes them hard to stop is how quickly they destroy players. Either they don't know that they're effectively perma-banning hundreds, possibly thousands of innocent gamers, or they just don't care. Jerkass: Arguably the Mingebag players. Inside a Computer System: The whole point of the film. Cool Boat: Renamed "The Admin Boat: Thunder Child". 
What makes them cruel is what they choose for fun.
Children Are Cruel: The Mingebags are basically 12 year old kids playing a video game. Badass Normal: Steinmann, the protagonist, is one of the few players to survive the invasion, even after a face-to-face battle with the invaders themselves. Affectionate Parody: of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds.
