    I'm not going to check to see if anyone else pointed this out, but many in this list are examples of Dieselpunk, not Steampunk. Metropolis is a shining example of Dieselpunk. You can tell by it's heavy use of Art Deco and Technology as envisioned by the 20s/30s/40s. Another good example is Things to Come, though elements of Steampunk emerge during the post-war society, a Dieselpunk society forces them into surrendering, the Ending Society is more Rocketpunk. You also used footage of Sky Captain and the world of Tomorrow. This movie borrows heavily from the sci fi adventure serials of the 30s and thus is planted firmly in the Dieselpunk genre. I see too many times people confusing Steampunk with Dieselpunk. Steampunk usually ends near World War 1 era where technology and aesthetics are concerned , while Dieselpunk emerges during the 20s. The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec and City of Lost Children are excellent examples of Steampunk, Lost Children you mentioned. The Mutant Chronicles is good example of Late Steampunk as it uses World War 1 aesthetics. I'm just pointing the differences out to you, I respect Watch Mojo, but the mistakes are real with this one. Steampunk in it's most simplest of Definitions is a Victorian Aesthetic while Diesel Punk has that Art Deco 30s aesthetic. Dieselpunk is Bioshock, Steampunk is Bioshock Infinite.

      Fictionally speaking, dieselpunk has to be a sub genre of steampunk; technically speaking, they were competing technologies, like betamax and vhs, playstation and xbox, bluray and hd. So, anything with late 19th century through WWII style tech falls within the steampunk genre, whether steam, diesel, gasoline, coal or hydrogen powered -- as long as it generates some kind of smoke.

    Once I saw the title of this video I couldn’t click it fast enough. Steampunk is my entire aesthetic and has been for years (my fiancé and I’s wedding is going to be steampunk themed as well, I’m so excited!) I loved seeing movies on here that I didn’t know existed and I will surely add them to my list, as well as seeing ones that I know and love. That being said, it kinda breaks my heart that Wild Wild West got screen time but not even mentioned by name on here. Also not seeing the movies Stardust & The Three Musketeers makes me sad as well. They are incredible and deserve a shoutout! ⚙️

  • @theunskilledshinigami7623

    I saw it in the beginning and don't know if it is actually on the list yet, but Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow isn't steampunk it's more decopunk or dieselpunk.

  • @Psycopathicus
    @Psycopathicus Před 7 lety +13

    The basic definition of steampunk, as I understand it, is that the work in question must be set in Earth's past (albeit an alternate one), and involve technology that did not exist at the time (and, in many cases, still doesn't). Considering that several of these either take place in the future (Things To Come, Treasure Planet, Metropolis), another world entirely (Howl's Moving Castle), or don't actually involve anything technological at all (Adventures of Baron Munchausen), I'd say you might want to rethink it a bit. There are lots of things which have been stylistic influences on steampunk (or the other way 'round); that doesn't mean that all of them ARE steampunk.

    • @tulliverscrim1513
      @tulliverscrim1513 Před 6 lety +7

      Actually, quite a few steampunk stories are set in a post-apocalyptic future. Steampunk in general depicts how Victorians would think of the future, so a victorian aesthetic and clockwork and steam-based inventions combined to form either an alternate reality, or an imagining of a future where humans have been forced to devolve back to a victorian era way of life. Although you are right that watchmojo "might want to rethink it a bit" (as many people are saying, most of these examples are dieselpunk), they should do this for different reasons than those which you put forth.

    • @tulliverscrim1513
      @tulliverscrim1513 Před 6 lety +3

      Steampunk isn't always dystopian, though

    • @Nathanyel
      @Nathanyel Před 6 lety

      For similar reasons, I'd remove Metropolis and 20k Leagues from this list, they don't play in the relative past, considering their release date. From their point of view, they're simply futuristic sci-fi. And I'd say more than "set in the past", Steam/Dieselpunk is about "upgrading" outdated technology, assuming it previailed or had received advancements it never could in the real world, which is usually unrealistic, and thus requires suspense of disbelief in a backwards direction (while sci-fi requires forward suspense of disbelief, to accept that this or that development could come from the further development of today's technology)

    • @takix2007
      @takix2007 Před 6 lety +1

      20 000 Leagues under the Sea is not (and never was) futuristic... It played in the past, in the 1860's to be exact (or the present if you take the book's publishing date as a reference). And it is quite exactly Steampunk, since it is using steam-engine-era technology to create something impossible* to make with that technology (a submarine).
      * well, technically, a nuclear submarine uses steam as a power vector, the main difference (to keep it short and simple) being the nature of the fuel: coal vs. uranium...

    • @Nathanyel
      @Nathanyel Před 6 lety

      Ok, my bad, I was rather talking about/thinking of the book, while the movie obviously was made in an era when steam technology could already be considered outdated. Even Wikipedia agrees that the movie is a precursor to Steampunk. It does get blurry though for adaptions of much earlier material that don't update the fictional tech.

      Unfortunately by that rule nothing written by H.G.Wells or Jules Vern would qualify.
      It's kind of a shame because I grew up on those guys, but on the other hand there are plenty of other lists that they could potentially be on.
      Top 10 early science fiction writers, etc.
      By the way, if you really dig SP you should check out a book called The Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock.
      Arguably the first steam punk story, it was steam punk before the term was invented.
      If you like that he wrote two more; The Land Leviathan, and The Steel Tsar.

    If you like steampunk, you should check Karel Zeman's movies: The Deadly Invention (1958) or his version of The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962). Also another czech filmmaker Oldrich Lipsky has few steampunk related movies: Adele's Dinner (1978) and The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981). These two are also great comedies.
