Eternal Engine | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_19028da | comment |
Eternal Engine: Time's castle is, as you'd expect, completely filled with clockwork mechanisms. The castle itself sits in the middle of a gigantic clock face that can only be reached by crossing its giant hands, and the interior houses the mechanism that runs the Great Clock. When Alice goes to steal the Chronosphere she has to jump between swinging pendulums and run across moving clock gears to escape. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: All of the advertising presents Time as the Big Bad who intends to destroy Underland. Granted, this actually ties into the plot, and the major twist. As in the beginning of the film, Alice comes to see time itself as her enemy, and thus, this leads to her seeing Time as a villainous figure of Underland. In reality, he's actually one of the closest things Underland has to a Big Good, being the guardian of the clock that keeps it running, and he's trying to save Underland from turning to rust by getting the Chronosphere back from Alice. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Everyone in Underland has a pocket watch and Time keeps the Living sorted from the Deceased. The fact that there are no watches for the Hightopp family in the Deceased category clues Alice in that they're still alive.

Mythology Gag | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the original book, during the tea party, the Hatter, whose watch is stuck on the same day, gets in an argument with Alice about time, saying that her idioms such as "wasting time" actually refer to a real being, and that she wouldn't be so rude if she met Time. Time here is a major character in the film, and he is responsible for the Hatter's endless tea party. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Time's glitzy steampunk getup could count as well, even by Underland's standards. He has huge fabric pauldrons, a diagonal-striped fez-like hat, a necklace with gear detailing, a large poofy scarf and cape, as well as a cool scepter that includes a small hourglass. The pauldrons prove to be his undoing in his introductory sequence, where he quite menacingly waltzes down a hallway... only to bump into a corridor that was, comically, shaped specifically for him. | |

Parental Substitute: Time becomes this for Alice at the end; she even gives him a broken watch that had belonged to her father. Fitting, since one of its common personifications is Father Time. Time, for his part, wishes her well, forgives her for stealing the Chronosphere, and hopes they don't run into each other in the future. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: The Knave of Hearts is Killed Offscreen between the previous film and this one, and only makes a brief appearance as a decayed skeleton. The first film did end with him begging for a Mercy Kill, so we're left to assume he got his wish, but it's quite jarring seeing a relatively prominent character in the previous film be offed so unceremoniously in this one. | |

Impractically Fancy Outfit | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_4b2c373 | comment |
Impractically Fancy Outfit: The Ascots' party is filled with all the Victorian Costume Porn one might expect, but Alice's incredibly colorful outfit really stands out. It makes sense when she explains to her mother that it's a replica of one worn by the Dowager Empress of China, but since no one else at the party is aware of this, they naturally make derisive remarks (though they would probably be less judgy if they realized how much precious silk was involved in its design!). Time's glitzy steampunk getup could count as well, even by Underland's standards. He has huge fabric pauldrons, a diagonal-striped fez-like hat, a necklace with gear detailing, a large poofy scarf and cape, as well as a cool scepter that includes a small hourglass.

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Several characters suffer from this, but the crown clearly goes to Iracebeth, even more so than in the original works. To wit: after years of being an utterly horrific person, when Tarrant laughs because her head is so huge her coronation crown breaks (causing the assembly to laugh as well), one of the first things she decrees is that the next person who laughs will lose his head. She only gets worse from there. | |

Heel–Face Turn: The Ascots' solicitor (who seems to have admired and respected Alice throughout her time as an Ascot partner) leaves their employ and goes to work for Alice and her mom at the end. After Mirana apologizes for everything she did to her sister, Iracebeth finally musters up enough composure to forgive her and stop opposing the protagonists. If the credits are any indication, the two are patching things up. | |

| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_740f59b4 | comment |
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: As in the original film, Mirana and Iracebeth are represented primarily by white and red respectively. In the flashback scenes before their final schism, both sisters incorporate more pink into their ensembles, showing their lingering connection. This ultimately serves as foreshadowing for their reconciliation. | |

Put on a Bus | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_754df088 | comment |
Put on a Bus: Not a word is mentioned of Alice's Cool Big Sis, Margaret, even though they were implied in the first film to be fairly close; it's especially odd considering that the primary strife in this (and the first film) was a conflict between two sisters, and Alice's conflicts in Underland tend to parallel conflicts in her normal life. | |

The Cuckoolander Was Right: Everybody in Underland thinks the Mad Hatter is delusional for thinking that finding the first hat he made means that his family survived the Jabberwocky's attack. He turns out to be 100% correct. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Whilst delaying Time, Hatter, the Dormouse, the Hare, and the Cheshire Cat make a lot of Time-related puns, slowly aggravating him; but the final straw is when Hatter reveals that he never said Alice was coming to the tea party, he only said he invited her.

Humiliation Conga: Iracebeth's coronation. Not only does her tiara not fit, but it breaks, and all of her subjects laugh at her (triggered by Tarrant's laugh due to the high tension), which causes her to have a temper tantrum, culminating with her father publicly disinheriting her, making her younger sister the heir apparent. | |

Cerebus Retcon: Iracebeth's fixation with tarts becomes much darker once it is revealed that Mirana lying about stealing and eating some tarts when they were children led to the accident that left Iracebeth with her deformed big head. The behavior of all the attendees at the Mad Hatter's tea party, when Alice first met him as a child, takes on a disturbing quality once it's revealed that they were stuck in a time loop, forever one minute away from teatime, until the child Alice arrived to break the curse. | |

Just replace the Chronosphere with a goose, and rust with gold. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Turns out there's a very good reason why the Red Queen turned out the way she did. Mirana lied about stealing a tart and blamed it on her sister. Iracebeth ran away from the castle in tears and hit her head, which not only caused her head to swell but also did a bit of brain damage, which explains her speech impediment as well as her anger issues; Mirana never told her parents what really happened. Then, at Iracebeth's coronation, everything that could go wrong, did - which caused her to have a temper tantrum, which made her dad disinherit her and make Mirana the heir instead. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Since this film was directed by James Bobin instead of Tim Burton, a few retcons and continuity errors are to be expected, but this film has an overabundance of them! Whoever was supposed to check for continuity errors should have been fired. When Tarrant is finally reunited with his family at the end of the movie, he tells his father about how he's become a successful hatter, as if none of his family would know that he was serving in the White Queen's court at the time of Horevedush/Horenvendush Day. Heck, he was there at the festival just like the rest of his family and his actions are the whole reason Queen Mirana was able to make it to safety in the first place! The odd coloring of the Mad Hatter's hands, hair, and face were explained in bonus features to be a result of exposure to the mercury used in the glue for hats, and in the first film during the flashback to Horevendush/Horenvendush Day, while very pale, his hands, hair, and face are all still colors that might naturally be seen on a normal person. Yet when Alice first travels in the Chronosphere and meets pre-Horevendush Day Tarrant, he has all the wild and crazy colorings that he does when Alice meets him in the first film. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Hamish's father, the late Lord Ascot, had no problem with Alice becoming a ship's captain and employing her in this capacity. Time may have No Social Skills, but he hears Alice's case and then actually takes the time to explain to her why he can't agree to her request. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: There seems to be a stronger hint of Mad Hatter/White Queen in this one than of Alice/Hatter. The Queen is visibly distressed over Hatter's situation and is outright weeping at his bedside when he's near death. That said, it is possible to interpret the Alice/Hatter reactions as shippy. When he sees her again for the first time, not only do they hug, but also he puts his hands all over her face. He also calls her "my Alice", and of course, she goes through a lot to help him during the course of the movie. | |

Eye Lights Out | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_de51d725 | comment |
Eye Lights Out: Time's irises normally glow a bright blue, but they start to flicker in and out as time itself breaks down after Alice takes the Chronosphere. It only gets progressively worse when Underland rusts over and the blink rapidly before almost going out when Time rusts over too. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: Possibly. This film shows us that the Red Queen's behavior became what it is after she suffered a head injury (and, it is implied, brain damage). Henry VIII famously had a hair-trigger temper similar to that of Iracebeth, but not until he was close to middle age; before that he was a boisterous but mostly good-hearted young man. During his marriage to Anne Boleyn, Henry experienced a traumatic jousting accident in which his horse rolled over onto him, suffering serious injuries to his head and leg. Several modern historians believe that the head injury caused some brain damage which altered his personality; additionally, the leg injury never healed properly, leading him to suffer chronic pain for the rest of his life, so the theory is that this accident is what turned him into the easily irritated figure history remembers. It may be that Iracebeth's backstory is intended to be a reference to this theory. (Note the fact that Iracebeth dresses exclusively in Tudor-era style gowns, and the connections to the War of the Roses in the first film.) | |

Light Is Not Good | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: In a sense. Even though Mirana is kind and gentle, not only did she lie about Iracebeth stealing the tart, but she never told anyone the truth, even when confessing it during the coronation debacle might have made the king reconsider disinheriting Iracebeth. She also never apologized for it until the end of the second film. It could be fair to say that there's some selfishness underneath all that sweetness, due to her avoidance of getting in trouble and being shamed as a child. | |

Insistent Terminology: Once he makes it clear just what a Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk he's become, Alice refuses to address Hamish as Lord Ascot as a way to demean him. | |

Artistic License – Ships | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_e652089c | comment |
Artistic License – Ships: The Wonder, the ship Alice inherited from her father, is of a design that would've been considerably out of date when her father was young, let alone in 1875. It would have been much more time-appropriate for the ship to have been a clipper. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Alice Through the Looking Glass / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Tarrant is abnormally calm and coherent as he tells Alice why he believes his family is still alive, proving how earnest he is about it. The contrast is reinforced by the simple gray suit he wears in the scene, as opposed to his usual colorful attire, and his color seems to keep fading as he descends into depression. | |

You Already Changed the Past: This is the nature of Time Travel in Underland. It is impossible to change the past, and all of Alice's attempts either fail or end up becoming part of the way history originally went. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Alice has a moment of this right at the beginning of the movie, when her seemingly ridiculous plan to steer her ship through shallow rock-strewn water saves the lives of her entire crew and disables the pirates who are attempting to capture them. | |

Platonic Declaration of Love: After Iracebeth realizes that the Chronosphere is back in place and she's lost her chance to change the past, she despairingly asks why this always happens to her and why no one loves her. Her sister Mirana replies that she loves her. Iracebeth snaps back that she doesn't, which leads to Mirana tearfully confessing about the incident with the tarts and asking for her forgiveness. Iracebeth declares that this is all she ever wanted to hear. | |
