* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper Sir William Gull]] is a retired [[MadDoctor physician]] whose avuncular manner hides a frightening fanatic and misogynist. Developing the lobotomy technique that robs the secret wife of Prince Albert, Ann, of her sanity and mind, Gull is [[PsychoForHire tasked]] with [[HeKnowsTooMuch silencing her prostitute friends]]. Opting to perform brutal rituals, Gull hunts them down and kills them in pain, mutilating the corpses while glorying in his increasing sadistic mania that he might "give birth to the 20th century". Gull even leaves behind anti-Semitic writing that could risk violence against London's Jewish population before slaughtering who he thinks is Mary Kelly, demonstrating zero remorse for the crimes or the danger he has placed his own "brothers" in.]]

** Creator/NeilGaiman once [[https://youtu.be/337-ycZz6IM related an anecdote at a con]] in which Moore described such a scene to him. While he was eating. ''[[{{Squick}} Halfway through the meal]]''. Gaiman had to step outside not once but ''twice'' during the conversation to get some air, which led to Moore nicknaming him [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Neil "Scary Trousers" Gaiman, Master of Modern Horror]].

* QuestionableCasting: A lot of fans weren't pleased with Creator/JohnnyDepp being cast as Abberline, considering the massive heaping of AdaptationalAttractiveness it applies to the man. Creator/AlanMoore was especially critical of Abberline being combined with Robert Lees, and being turned into TheDandy. Especially egregious because the comic character was modeled off Creator/RobbieColtrane...who appears in the film as Sgt Godley!

* BrokenBase: William Gull's [[spoiler:visions of the future and the past]] are quite divisive. Besides those scenes, the comic maintains a realistic tone, and Gull's theories on the hidden occult history of London can simply be interpreted as something he believes in, not as the historical truth. But [[spoiler:the visions]] add an supernatural element to the story that can't be explained away. While this sort of supernatural stuff is in accordance with Alan Moore's own occult beliefs, some readers felt that it adds a needlessly distracting element to a story that otherwise tries to portray the Jack the Ripper murders and Victorian London as realistically as possible.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Polly Nichols appears to have some kind of developmental disability beyond the effects of alcoholism and malnutrition that were common among lower class sex workers of the time. Given the notoriously poor understanding of mental illness of the time it's impossible to know what was really wrong with her, but what little information we have about the real Polly Nichols describes her as childlike and having poor impulse control.
