The episode satirizes superhero movies.[1] Steve Greene of IndieWire wrote that the superheroes are not a direct parody of one specific superhero team,[2] though Hannah Mylrea of NME compared Vance to Star-Lord and Supernova to Teen Titans' Starfire. [6] Jack Shepherd of The Independent and Greene found Noob Noob similar to season 2 "Total Rickall" character Mr. Poopy Butthole.[4][5] Greene found the reference to the lack of diversity amongst the Vindicators after the previous deaths of superheroes of color similar to a reference in the previous episode "Pickle Rick" to Dr. Wong being a poor choice of name for a character voiced by the non-Asian Susan Sarandon.[5]
