Pluto has become the “Butt-Monkey” of the solar system, and not just because it’s named for the Butt-Monkey of the Greek-Roman pantheon of gods (“Everybody Hates Hades”). Want to get someone’s attention? Show that things are serious? That a villain can put his money where his mouth is? Screw the status quo! This time, change is happening, and it’s something big! Something cosmic! Something on a large-scale level that would shock the world if it happened in “Real Life”! A change that will alter the universe! …er, well, at least the galaxy… The solar system?… It’s not like we can blow up a planet… Wait! What about one of those planets floating around the edge of the solar system? That insignificant, dark, icy one with one giant and four minuscule satellites — no one will miss that. It wasn’t even important enough to be called a real planet. What was its name again? Never mind. Let’s blow it up!… Compare “Insignificant Little Blue Planet” for the self-inflicted version, and “Uranus Is Showing” for another planet that’s… a different kind of Butt-Monkey… ~ Pluto Is Expendable – TV Tropes
