Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]] / [[Not So Crazy Anymore]]: Since the beginning of his career as a writer, Verne has being accused by critics of being [[Sci Fi Ghetto|''only'' a HardScifi writer that paid little heed to the social ramifications of technology]]. But with [[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]] Verne wrote in 1869 about Captain Nemo, a man from an oppressed country who [[Majored in Western Hypocrisy|had training in the west,]] and has [[Fiction 500|enough money to pay a country’s national debt,]] whom decides to create an [[NGO Superpower|organization strong enough]] to [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters|fight ]] an [[The Empire|entire Western country]] [[Moral Event Horizon|through terrible acts of violence]], [[The War Onon Terror|and therefore is chased as a menace by all established countries in the West.]] After [[Osama Bin Laden]], 9/11 and [[The War Onon Terror]], we must admit that Verne really knew much more than anyone ever suspected about how the world will turn in the next 130 years!

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: [[The Captain]] Nemo is a truly, [[Wicked Cultured]], [[Affably Evil]] [[Nice Guy]] who constantly crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] and hardly even notices when he [[Kick the Dog]]. [[An Aesop]] of the novel is to show that no matter how good or charismatic are you, [[Technology Is Evil]] and to have a [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] means that [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]] as Nemo’s [[Villainous Breakdown]] [[Death Seeker|takes him and his entire crew to the Maelstrom]]. However, [[Misaimed Fandom]] always forget the Aesop because Nemo is the poster boy (Out and [[In -Universe]]) for [[Affably Evil]], [[Cry for Thethe Devil]], [[Dark and Troubled Past]], [[Troubled but Cute]], [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] and even [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]].
