Think of Gotham City for example. Do you think that city is as bad as Batman makes it out to be?

Think of Gotham City for example. Do you think that city is as bad as Batman makes it out to be? Yes. Yes, I do. I think the Snicket Universe is probably about the same good/evil as our world, but a lot of bad things happen to the Baudelaires that typically would not happen to just one person in our world.

The thing a lot of people seem to be overlooking is that we have a very small sample size of the Snicket Universe. It could very well be that Asoueland is just a hellhole and the rest of the planet is mostly fine; V.F.D. seems grand and unknowable to us, but nearly all locations of VFD interest can be placed onto a fairly small map, as we know. I'm not sure how influential it is on a global scale.

Daniel Handler aka Lemony Snicket mentioned at one point Edward Scissorhands was a major inspiration for building the world of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Using the theme of Suburban Gothic, partically set in a American 1950's style suburbia involving Gothic elements.

Does Lemony's universe have violent gangs? Yes. Is there prejudice and xenophobia there? Yes. Were there world wars? Yes. Is there poverty and slave labor there? Yes. Is there manipulation of the masses through the media? Yes. Are there diseases that spread quickly and are deadly? Yes. Are there public hospitals that have not been completed? Yes. Is there a corrupt justice system there? Yes. Is there environmental degradation there because of companies that seek only profit? Yes. Is there terrorism there? Yes. Are there any parents who are unable to raise their children correctly? Yes. Still, our world is much worse than theirs in a fundamental aspect: our world really exists and theirs is only imaginary.
