History YMMV / EdgarAndEllen

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: It can be hard to recommend the books knowing they were never finished.
* EvilIsSexy: Ormond.

* FoeYay: Stephanie and Edgar & Ellen. There's even an episode showing how their life is incomplete without each other and their rivalry.
** Edgar and Stephanie in particular has a following due to "Commander in Stripes" and "Crushed".

* EndingAversion: It can be hard to recommend the books knowing they were never finished.

* DesignatedVillain: Stephanie. While in the books, she actually ''is'' evil and the twins grow as people, in the show she just seems to be a villain because she's the AlphaBitch who hates the twins even when the twins [[NotSoDifferent are seldom better themselves.]] Basically, it's hard to single out a villain [[ComedicSociopathy in a show where everyone are jerks.]] To be fair, the show recognizes this and does [[ThrowTheDogABone allow Stephanie her own victories on multiple occasions.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Edgar, who voiced by {{Creator/Kathleen Barr}}, has an episode where he's a magician who gains a huge ego and bragging, and a stage name with the adjective "Great". [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Now if only he described himself as Great AND Powerful...]]

* AwesomeMoments: [[spoiler: Heimertz's]] BigDamnHeroes moment, followed soon after by [[spoiler: Nod casting out the Knightleighs.]]

* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler: The loss of the Gadget Graveyard and the death of Berenice]]. Especially if you watched the cartoon first and got used to having them around. While [[StatusQuoIsGod Status Quo may be God]] in an episodic show, here, it turns out, is another matter entirely.
** The ending of [[spoiler: ''High Wire'']]. After everything has gone south for the twins, they trudge back home and find [[spoiler: it's no longer theirs]]. The illustration of them staring forlornly at [[spoiler: the notice on their door]] is the sad and bleak note on which this book ends.

* HeartwarmingMoments:
** The twins' reunion in ''Frost Bites'', after Edgar had briefly thought Ellen dead. For some reason, the text doesn't mention the hug they share, but an illustration shows it, and it is glorious. Destruction is raining down around them, and they don't even care.
** Their reunion in ''Split Ends'' as well, although the dramatic tension is considerably lightened by their exchange beforehand.
** [[spoiler: Heimertz and Dahlia's wedding]] in ''Hot Air''. These two went through a lot to get to this point.

* MoralEventHorizon: In the book series, [[spoiler: Stephanie definitely crosses this line]] in ''Frost Bites'', when [[spoiler: she arranges for Edgar and Ellen's deaths. She would have crossed it sooner when she buried them underground in ''Nod's Limbs'', except that she was counting on the balm spring keeping them alive, albeit trapped for who knows how long.]]
