Works influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion (of which there are many) will often incorporate Freudian concepts into the robots. In Evangelion itself, the focus is on motherhood (and the pain of an extended childhood), with the bodies of the robots keeping their pilots safely in biomechanical, fluid-filled womb-like cockpits; other works may interrogate other pieces of Freudian imagery such as phallic cockpits or weaponry. | |

PTSD is a heavy subtext in Wolf Like Me, and at least two analyses of An American Werewolf in London tie in Lycanthropy with the movie's depictions of trauma and survivor's guilt. | |

Godzilla has basically been all of the above at some point. He started out as a metaphor for the devastation of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! has him being the collective manifestation of the souls of those who lost their lives during Japan's Pacific campaign in World War II. Godzilla (2014) gives him a Gaia's Vengeance characterization on top of being a radioactive mutation. | |

Power and overwhelming force — Both Eastern and Western dragons are known to be among the most powerful beings in their respective stories, one Dragon in particular being known as the "chiefest and greatest of calamities". | |
