Nautilus | Official Trailer

the Company' (via prison labour) using iirc a french design

Which undermines it’s claim to be a prequel to the novel, since it’s a plot point than no one, including the British, knows what the Nautilus is, the professor being convinced it a cryptid (and the navy somewhat willing to listen to him).

But my biggest issue is that Jules Verne did not write steampunk. His writings were firmly grounded in hard science to the extent that he understood it.

The British East India Company was evil enough in reality. They don’t need a massive steampunk dreadnaught to prove it.

they were a trilogy if I recall, 20K under the Sea is merely the first

The Mysterious Island was a sequel, but I’m not aware of a third book.

Yeah, I didnt like that part either, it did diminish Nemos role as genius science hero


In the show Nemo is credited with designing the engines, but its built by 'the Company' (via prison labour) using iirc a french design.

It's been decades but, if I remember correctly, in the books he was the son of an Indian prince and both designed and financed The Nautilus himself, by having a multitude of manufacturers, around the world, separately manufacture the necessary parts.

The Mysterious Island was a sequel, but I’m not aware of a third book.

Its not a trilogy but the third book Les Enfants du Capitaine Grant (In Search of the Castaways) is linked by having shared characters with Mysterious Island. Some people thus consider them a set

I'll watch whenever it becomes more broadly available. Looks fun, glad to see Clem Fandango get more work.
