Line #8 YMMV/Steamboy


1	* AluminumChristmasTrees: There actually ''is'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile such a thing as a Steam ball]], and they date all the way back to ''the first century'', though they were nowhere near as powerful as the one shown in the movie.
2	%%* EndingFatigue: That climax just will not end.
3	* FridgeHorror: The O'Hara Foundation's Steam Troopers. Men in ''metal'' suits were probably getting severe burns with those steam engines on their backs, given the overall quality of the Foundation's inventions.
4	* HilariousInHindsight: This film 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]].
5	* 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.
6	* 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 helping Lloyd and Ray destroy it over the Thames. 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.
7	* {{Padding}}: A good third of the movie, though it does sort of cross with TechnologyPorn.
8	* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: ''Christ'' yes. The dub got the UsefulNotes/BritishAccents spot on, either from actual British actors or American actors doing extremely accurate impressions of them. Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/AlfredMolina steal the spotlight every time they're on-screen, hamming it up in the best way possible.
9	* SoOkayItsAverage: Apart from [[SceneryPorn the]] [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome animation]], general consensus for the movie seems to be this.
10	* TearJerker: Quite a few scenes involving Scarlett, as she struggles between the ideals set forth by her parents with the O'Hara Foundation and the ideals set forth by the Steam family.
11	** 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 [[FacelessMooks the Steam Troopers]] are actually people, rather than automatons.
12	--->'''Scarlett''': [[WarIsHell It's horrid]]...
