* NotSoAboveItAll: Eve is depicted as much smarter than Adam, even before eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, but she does make a bit of a mistake once. She confuses her reflection in the water for another person, and falls in trying to greet her new friend. After getting "strangled" by the water, Eve concludes that the fish are also uncomfortable and takes them out. As Adam notes, the fish aren't much happier on dry land, "only quieter."

* NoAntagonist: Ultimately, there is no villain here. The Mysterious Stranger is terrifying, but makes no move against the children. Injun Joe makes a cameo, but nothing comes of it, [[spoiler: and while it's implied that Mark Twain's dark side summoned the storm that damaged the CoolAirship, he helps reactivate the power and goes along with regular Twain without much fuss.]]

* WomenAreWiser: Adam didnt really seem to grasp the facts of life until around middle-age or so. In fact, during Cain and Abels childhoods, he operated under the assumption that they were some odd breed of fish, and later, bear. In Eve's words; "He is self-educated, and really knows a multidude of things. But none of them are true".
** Unusual for this story, Adam doesnt actually eat the Apple of Eden until after the Fall and loss of the Garden. If Eve hadnt offered him the Fruit of Knowledge, he'd likely have starved to death in the wasteland.

** The movie itself has Twain reaching the comet and "dying" as he hoped... but the two halves of his personality - the Light and the Dark - are able to reconcile and merge before doing so, and Twain becomes one with Halley's Comet as well. Taken together with Eve and Adam's ending, it's implied he's with his lost wife and in Eden with her.

First of all, discard any historical knowledge you might have of Samuel Clemens, because in this world, he doesn't exist. But his ''nom de plume,'' MarkTwain, is real, and so are Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher. [[CelebrityParadox Yeah, we know. Just roll with it.]] In this world, Mark Twain also has a [[CoolAirship Cool]] {{Steampunk}} [[CoolAirship Airship]], which he intends to ride into outer space to chase Halley's comet. Tom, Huck, and Becky catch word of his balloon and sneak onboard, joining Mr. Twain on a journey beyond the stratosphere to chase the comet. How do they pass time onboard the airship? By telling (and living) stories, of course. Famous Mark Twain stories. Like ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer.'' ([[FridgeLogic We know. Again.]]) And ''The Diary of Adam and Eve.'' And ''Literature/TheMysteriousStranger.''
