History YMMV / Steamboy

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: ''Christ'' yes. The dub got the UsefulNotes/BritishAccents spot on. Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/AlfredMolina steal the spotlight every time they're on-screen, hamming it up in the best way possible.

* MagnificentBastard: Edward "Eddie" Steam was injured in a steam accident. Rebuilding himself into a metal {{cyborg}}, Eddie decides to build {{steampunk}} weapons of war, with his MagnumOpus being a giant floating castle, which he proceeds to pilot over London. When his son Ray and father Lloyd try to destroy it, Eddie proclaims that it will still inspire people, given that it has been revealed to the world. Later he ends up [[spoiler: helping Lloyd and Ray maneuver it over the Thames so it can explode with minimal harm. While Lloyd tries to cut off his escape, Eddie manages to evade him, and it is shown that his prediction was true, given that the world goes through a steampunk revolution]].

** The climactic battle sequence is filled with WarIsHell moments, particularly during Scarlett's walk on the battlefield, in which [[spoiler: the pavilion's shattering glass replays her and Ray's excursion there the previous night]], and realizing that the Steam Troopers are actually people, rather than automatons.

* HilariousInHindsight: This being set in a time period in London and having a major character named Scarlet now brings [[WesternAnimation/{{Minions}} another animated film with those elements in mind]].

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVNu-IKEf-Y Collapse and Rescue]]," among others. Music/SteveJablonsky is an unappreciated talent.
** No love for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws_3CZ2am-Y Ray's Theme]]" or "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihM9ER3PCZ4 The Chase]]"?
* EndingFatigue: That climax just will not end.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: ''Christ'' yes. The dub got the UsefulNotes/BritishAccents spot on. Also, ''Creator/PatrickStewart''.

** The climactic battle sequence is filled with WarIsHell moments, particularly [[spoiler: the aerocorp soldier crashing into the pavilion, his payload exploding and harming dozens of people as the shattering glass plays scenes from Scarlett and Ray's excursion into it]] and Scarlett realizing the Steam Troopers had actual people inside them.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Apart from [[SceneryPorn the]] [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome animation]], general consensus for the movie seems to be this.

* SuperlativeDubbing: ''Christ'' yes. The dub got the UsefulNotes/BritishAccents spot on. Also, ''Creator/PatrickStewart''.

* InferredHolocaust:
** London is saved [[spoiler:when the steam castle explodes in the Thames]] but then you realize that a good chunk of London was frozen, blown up, and smashed during the latter half of the movie. Not to mention the flooding when the frozen clouds of steam melted. Regardless of how many weapons the foundations manages to sell, the British government will, at the very least, sue the living pants off the foundation for damages inured to their capital.
*** [[spoiler: They might not be able, considering British military attacked first. As far as we know, the O'Hara Foundation probably didn't plan on attacking the exhibition, and the military acted on Stephenson's claims they inteded to use the Steam Ball to cause trouble, so that old general is going to be in trouble. NO ONE except the Steam Family, Stephenson, Simon and Scarlett know the full details, and none of them will be telling. Plus, it's also likely the foundation will blame it all on Simon; it kind of IS his fault, at any rate. It could also be blamed on Edward, but he simply disappeared after the Castle blew up. They have three perfect scapegoats: Stephenson who can be accused of lying to and manipulating the British Empire to start a war to try winning a petty rivalry, Simon who can be accused of going rogue and making illegal arms dealing without the company's authorization and awareness, and Edward who can be accused of going crazy and starting a rampage over Stephenson's attack. [[JerkassHasAPoint And they would make perfect sense]], because if you ignore O'Hara's involvement, [[MetaphoricallyTrue that's pretty much what happened!]]). The three could be accused of treason and warmongering, and O'Hara seemingly has enough money to buy everyone off.]]
