* TooBleakStoppedCaring: For many, the book [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted]] whatever potential it could have had as a fresh exploration of Lovecraft's stories by devolving into a series of ultra-graphic and ultra-disgusting rape scenes with the actual CosmicHorrorStory elements seeming secondary in comparison.

Said CosmicHorrorStory, however brief, is by itself incredibly bleak, because it's not about humanity's insignificance, but the incoming TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* MemeticMutation: Tied in to HilariousInHindsight above, a number of Tumblr posts showing Brears' third rape by the Deep One (arguably the least graphic and most fanservicey) were subtitled "''Film/TheShapeOfWater'' (2017), dir. Creator/GuillermoDelToro."

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One could argue that a version of Lovecraft that swings in the opposite direction from his NothingIsScarier attitude might work. Using it as little more than [[spoiler:an excuse for rape scene after rape scene]] is utterly squandering that potential.

* HilariousInHindsight: In a few years or so, there would be ''another'' [[Film/TheShapeOfWater story about sex between a woman and a fish man]], though with less rape and with more InterspeciesRomance ([[spoiler:[[EpilepticTrees maybe]]]]). And yes, joking comparisons have been made.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Or FanDisservice in this case. It's been given the FanNickname of "the [[spoiler:fish-rape]] book" for this reason.



* NeverLiveItDown: Again, nobody is ever going to let Creator/AlanMoore forget about "the [[spoiler:fish-rape]] book" he wrote.



* TearJerker: Agent Brears' [[PrecisionFStrike horrified]] [[CountryMatters outburst of swearing]], while pounding on the locked door and begging to be let out, after the cult leader locks her in the room with the Deep One, just before he drags her back into the pool.

* NonMaliciousMonster: possibly, the Deep One:[[spoiler: sure as hell he takes Agent Brear by force, multiple times]], but he doesn't seem to understand he's harming her and doesn't brutalize her wantonly, to him it's nothing more than mating. pretty much [[spoiler: the Dagon cultists, who seem to be much worse than him, rape her with his dick]]. plus, he eventually pulls out a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when [[spoiler: he understands that she's pregnant, gently brings her in the water, breaks the gate that confined her with his free hand, helps her escape, and then goes back and proceeds to rip the Dagon Cultists apart to prevent them from harming her]].
