===Cliches===

Like Daria the Movie, Daria 2 uses nearly ever horror cliche at its disposal, even the cliche in which characters discuss the cliches. In particular, the Smiley killer follows the cliches of being superhuman in strength, speed, and durability. No one can kill him, and he seems to be everywhere at once, ready with a quip each time he corners a victim. The strongest influence on Daria 2 appears to be the Scream movies, from the silly mask on the killer to Daria's adversarial relationship with Val.

Typical of Hollywood films, several aspects of Daria the Movie have been glamourized. Jennifer Love Hewitt's Daria is an example of the Hollywood "plain" girl who only needs a clothing change to be drop-dead gorgeous. She rarely wears Daria's trademark glasses except for reading. Most of the cast members (especially Jakob Dylan) are several years older than the characters they play.
