YMMV / Alaska

• Fridge Horror: Cubby was released back into the wild. Without someone to protect them, cubs usually have a very short lifespan in the rugged Alaskan wilderness. Especially without a Mama Bear to guard them. That said, he is shown being adopted by other polar bears.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The poacher is played by Charlton Heston, who would go on to become president of the NRA from 1998 to 2003.
• Jerkass Woobie: Yeah, Sean is an insufferable asshole but considering that his mom recently died and he's still grieving about that while having to adjust to a new home on top of it, it's hardly inexplicable.
• Memetic Mutation: "I want that BEAR!"
• Moral Event Horizon: After Perry and Koontz kill Cubby's mother, Koontz then proceeds to taunt Cubby with his mother's pelt by waving it in front of his cage for fun. He even jokes to Perry by saying "Shame to separate a mother and her child, isn't it?" The Nostalgia Critic summed the scene up pretty perfectly in his review of the movie:
  NC: Ok, that is beyond sick, man. That's fucking demented!
• Squick: Sean's father twisting his leg back into place while trapped on his plane, entreating us to a blood-curdling scream.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Sean being upset over his mom's death gives him a reason to feel sorry for him. But the way he takes his anger out on everyone and his overall, unpleasant and nasty personality ends up making him more of a whiny Jerkass instead. Even going as far as to wishing his own dad that he should've died instead of his mom!
