The basic tune remained as her Leitmotif for the remainder of the series, though mutated into something much weirder through Drew Neumann's distinctive style to better fit the tone the series ended up taking on.

Æon's was originally meant to be a Suspiciously Similar Song version of the Indiana Jones theme, to fit with the Deconstruction of action movies.

The Artifact: Both Æon's theme tune and the "Breen National Anthem" are musical artifacts from the shorts.

An Arm and a Leg: Amputees are common in Bregna, most of them apparently being people who failed to make it across the border into Monica.

He genuinely believes that his people are better off by submitting to his authority, just as Æon is convinced that her borderline terrorist activities are also for the greater good.

Anti-Villain: Trevor Goodchild is a morally ambiguous figure much like Æon Flux is herself.

In the original short episode pilot, before the characters were fully realized, she filled the role of a satire of a typical action hero in that her wanton slaughter of Mooks is put to serious question, she winds up getting herself killed at the end, and doesn't even actually accomplish her goal, which someone else ends up completing independent of her and for completely different reasons.

Anti-Hero: Æon Flux's actions are often morally questionable at best and she is generally portrayed as being cold, calculating, and (at least seemingly) heartless, although she does generally complete her missions for the sake of others.

Animesque: Obviously the show's unique style of animation was at least inspired by Japanese anime.

The show was made into a live-action movie in late 2005 starring Charlize Theron, in which the plot, characters, themes and artistic style were unrelated enough to original series to cause the original creator to feel humiliated when he saw it. The episodes tend to be fairly disconnected from each other, and center on the two main characters' (Æon and Trevor) interactions, political and personal, and the themes surrounding them. Her arch-nemesis and lover, also a main character, is a morally-ambiguous totalitarian ruler attempting to be a sort of benevolent dictator. The actual content proves even stranger than the art - our lead character is a highly self-motivated secret agent doing spywork (or possibly just sabotage in the name of anarchy), and is Stripperific to pretty much the greatest conceivable extent. As a whole, the show was a thorough Deconstruction of action hero tropes and cliches. The early shorts had no spoken words to speak of, unless you count a single "plop". The episodes would attempt to use the art style to further the viewer's interest as opposed to wordiness.

One of the most enduring images of the series is that of a human eye staring at a fly that is trapped in its eyelashes, wherein the eye's iris rolls in to stare at it. The art style is a strange combination of Expressionism, Cyberpunk, and Gnosticism. Probably the best way to describe Æon Flux is that if you had ever seen it before, you would be able to recognize it immediately. Starting out with a series of shorts on Liquid Television, Æon would later spin off into her own series. Æon Flux is probably the third-best known example of these series (after Beavis and Butthead and Daria). Back when MTV produced animated programming (yes, this was a long, long time ago.), they fronted some experimental animation.
