* AdaptationalDiversity: A given, since the engines are now humans. The majority of the cast, including the titular "Famous 8", are of non-white minorities, with a few being mixed-race. In addition to this, there are multiple [=LGBTQ+=] characters, including seven of the Famous 8. The original books and television series this is based on did not feature any of these, being written at a time when such were considered taboo, and sleepyhenry decided to include these changes to reflect the diversity of the modern world.
