* DragonInChief: The second-in-command of Silver's pirate crew, but definitely more dangerous than his boss.



* MoreDespicableMinion: A sterling example. Silver is an AntiVillain who grows to love Jim almost like a son. Scroop is a murderous asshole who nearly kills Jim for [[DisproportionateRetribution mouthing off to him]]. It's a plot point that Scroop's pointless sadism threatens to (and eventually does) expose Silver's mutiny.

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:He probably would be this to Silver, except he never gets through with it before he dies. He never succeeds in doing anything Silver wouldn't want him to do other than kill Mr. Arrow, and it's not like that did anything to his plans.]]

That said, Scroop cheerfully takes any opportunity he can to undermine Silver's authority whenever he doesn't have to cover in front of the rest of the crew, openly stirring dissent and suspicion among the other pirates by harassing Silver over his soft spot for Jim.]]

doesn't describe "badass" or "adorable". "expressions" is very vague. Badass Adorable: "What distinguishes Badass Adorable characters from their peers is the adorability. Particular emphasis is placed on their inherent vulnerability (emotional or otherwise), which is at odds with the abilities they can access."


* BadassAdorable: Even though Jim is a teen, one can't help but fall in love with the expressions he makes.

Badass Adorable is about being physically badass


* BadassAdorable: After he finally gets his memory back, B.E.N. manages to put his knowledge of Treasure Planet to use and navigate the others out of its explosion.

He doesn't think it was murder, he thinks he accidentally killed him.

To be precise, the book ''Treasure Planet: A Voyage of Discovery'', which expands on his character, creating a reason why he left his family: He was an immature young man who could barely handle any responsibility. He had to leave because the strain of raising a family was too much to bear.

Mis-use. A Hate Sink is a character or characters whose intended role in the story is to be so despicable that the audience wants them to fail just as much as they want the heroes to succeed. E:G: A Hate Sink must be present.


* HateSink: We know next to nothing about him, except that he often did not spare any time for Jim and one day he just up and left without another word, leaving his family heartbroken and being the direct cause for why Jim became a delinquent. The fact that we were never given any explanation for his actions makes it that much easier to resent the man for what he did.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In regards to Captain Flint. In the original novel, John Silver was a dreaded member of Flint's crew, to the point he brags about being the only man that Flint ever feared, and he only seeks Flint's treasure for regular finances. In the film, Silver is depicted as a treasure seeker who spent his entire life looking for the fable Treasure Planet, and he has no personal relationship with Captain Flint, who is depicted as a pirate long before Silver's time.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In Robert Louis Stevenson's original novel, the deceased Captain Flint was still in living memory and the pirates seeking his treasure were members of his old crew, including a certain John Silver. In the film, however, Flint is a historical pirate that transcended into myths and legends, with only B.E.N. (who is an old robot) and Billy Bones (who is [[LongLived a turtle alien]]) having personally met the pirate in the flesh. This affects Silver's pirate crew, who are now more traditional treasure seekers instead of actual pirates.

Again, the idea that Amelia and Doppler are the same species is a misconception, given we see female Canids in the background of Doppler's observatory. If this was something the creators actually stated, this can be changed back, but it's a case of writer contradicting canon. As far as I know, it's just fanon and/or the interpretation of the creators of the Battle at Procyon game, not Musker or Clements
