Godzilla: The Series | comment |
Godzilla: The Series (1998-2000) was an animated television series and the Sequel Series to the 1998 American version of Godzilla, produced by the Adelaide Productions division of Sony Pictures Television, and lasted a total of 40 episodes on Fox Kids.In the first episode, the last egg that Godzilla laid note Seen hatching at the end of said movie is found, it hatches and imprints on The Hero from the movie, Dr. Nick Tatopoulos. Naturally, he subsequently forms HEAT (the Humanitarian Environmental Analysis Team) with four other humans, Drs. Elsie Chapman and Mendel Craven (both from the movie, as well), as well as Randy Hernandez and Monique Dupre. With Godzilla loyal to Nick, they defend the world from various Kaiju that have abruptly sprung up, crazy and/or sinister humans and, eventually, invading psychic aliens (naturally).See The Godzilla Power Hour for the 1978 Hanna-Barbera cartoon. | |

Noisy Nature | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_10937270 | comment |
Noisy Nature: Literally every monster has some sort of roar or growl and constantly show it off, even things like the Nanotech Creature (which is a colony of single-celled microbes) and the Santa Marta Plant (which is a pile of vines and roots), both of which have no possible organs for sound to come out of. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Mocked in "Leviathan" in regards to aliens. Played straight in "Deadloch": Nick doesn't believe in the Loch Ness Monster despite being the adopted father of a giant fire-breathing lizard, who is the son of another radioactive monster who reproduced asexually. Oh, and said fire is radioactive. Elsie, being a fan of Alien Invasion theories and below trope, apparently forgot about a certain event that took place a year ago. And being Mind Controlled as a result. | |

Artistic License – Martial Arts: In "Competition", Robo-Yeti nails Godzilla with a throw Monique identifies as a Judo move called osoto gari. It's not, and in fact osoto gari couldn't resemble less the throw used; the move is actually a pro wrestling move called snapmare, which doesn't even have a direct equivalent in judo. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Extremely numerous and inevitable since this is a children's cartoon centering around giant monsters. One example is the Shrewster, a shrew that was spontaneously mutated after it was caught in a radioactive explosion near an experimental wind-nuclear fusion energy plant, which fused its DNA with a tornado, giving it the ability to generate a whirlwind around it. Yes, its DNA fused with a tornado. How the Shrewster even generates the tornado is never explained. "Trust No One" has a shapeshifting genetic experiment whose abilities are explained as being due to "pure DNA", a genetic blank slate, which is nonsensical for the same reasons Pure Energy is. Apparently that translates into the ability to assimilate the genes of whatever living thing it touches, becoming a perfect copy, yet it also still has two distinct sexes required for reproduction even though it regularly switched between characters of different sexes and again was a "blank slate". The only explanation is that being engineered everything but sex chromosomes were made a blank template. The mutant bee drones are shown shooting their stingers at the protagonists. The stingers themselves holds the bees' vital organs and such, and when removed, it's practically a death sentence. | |

Of a sort. During "Monster Wars", Godzilla is reunited with his (cybernetically reconstructed) biological father, and joins the aliens with More than Mind Control. In the last episode of the three-parter, he's torn between staying loyal to his adopted father or joining his biological father. | |

Nobody Can Die | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_2bb951b8 | comment |
Nobody Can Die: Since this is a kids show, no human characters can explicitly die, no matter how ludicrously implausible it would be for them to survive. For example, at the end of "New Family Pt. 2," every single civilian kidnapped by the mutant squids is recovered alive and unharmed after several days at the bottom of the ocean despite the tar surrounding them explicitly said to digest its victims. To make up for this, N.I.G.E.L. is completely obliterated in hilarious ways almost every episode (since, as a robot, he can be rebuilt). | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_2e528f4e | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Generally speaking, the closer the Monster of the Week was to a recognizable animal, the more likely it was to survive the episode, or at worst subject to Uncertain Doom. Monsters that were objectively non-animal, like the DNA Mimic, the Nanotech Creature, the Crackler, the Silver Hydra, and the Techno-Sentient, tended to be explicitly destroyed onscreen much more often. | |

From "Trust No One," the French geneticist whose abandoned lab in French New Guinea that created the DNA Mimic counts (as well the preserved chimera creatures the team finds), given the danger the DNA Mimic presented on possibly replacing any living creature with copies of itself. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The lead monster is the third most heroic version of Godzilla, behind the Showa Godzilla after his Heel–Face Turn, and the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla whereas his father was the antagonist of his movie. His siblings were also the secondary antagonists, attacking humans because they smell like fish, and thus started hunting them out of hunger. While he nearly eats Nick, he instantly realizes Nick was his "father", and thus is very protective of him. His own protectiveness brings to mind the Gentle Giants Minilla and Godzilla Junior in the Toho canon. | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_3f4ec001 | comment |
Destructive Savior: To be fair, Godzilla's the size of a building, and his main abilities involves tunneling through the ground and breathing atomic fire. It's kind of unavoidable. An early episode has Godzilla causing so much damage to New York City while trying to hunt down an infestation of giant mutated rats that the military believes he's simply on the attack. "Underground Movement" had the city of Miami suing HEAT for damage caused not by Godzilla but by their own weapons. Their lawyer gets them off on a technicality being that it was an emergency that necessitated said use of weapons. | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: Despite Godzila defeating the Monster of the Week, the military would sometimes fire on him. Near the end of "New Family, Part 2", Hicks was getting ready to signal an air strike on Godzilla, even though Godzilla had just defeated the C-rex, and located the missing swimmers and boats. Nick convinced him to spare Godzilla by pointing out they will need his help with all of the new mutations that would inevitably show up. In "Web Site", two soldiers fire on Godzilla after the Spiders got paralyzed, but Hicks stops them. In "Where Is Thy Sting", after Godzilla takes a shot from First Wave, Colonel Tarrington orders his men to fire on Godzilla. Hicks calls him out on this, saying Godzilla took a hit for Tarrington. | |

Happily Adopted | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_48e8fe57 | comment |
Happily Adopted: Interestingly enough, it was Godzilla that technically adopted Nick as his father since the giant lizard had imprinted on him (Nick was the first thing he saw and was covered in egg slime). Since then, the two have formed a bizarre father/son bond and protect one another from danger. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Sometimes, the human antagonists prove to be just as dangerous as, if not more dangerous than, the mutants. Cameron Winter, General Albondinga, the supervisor behind the petroleum-eating nanotech, the three hunters who tried to bag Godzilla, Dr. Hugh Trevor, the Antarctic expedition leader Chad Gordon, the creator of the DNA mimic, Jonathan Insley of D.R.A.G.M.A., Maximilian Spiel, S.C.A.L.E., Tobias Wilson, Paul Dimanche, Colonel Charles Tarrington... Not to mention the mutations only arose because of the actions of humanity in the first place. | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision: Mendel briefly has this in "Leviathan" when he realizes that Dr. Preloran, a xeno-biologist that he looked up to, was siding with the Tachyon aliens on conquering Earth. Of a sort. During "Monster Wars", Godzilla is reunited with his (cybernetically reconstructed) biological father, and joins the aliens with More than Mind Control. In the last episode of the three-parter, he's torn between staying loyal to his adopted father or joining his biological father. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_56723175 | comment |
Adaptation Induced Plothole: In the series, Nick is from New York, and has his own private property in Staten Island, and Randy was his assistant for 14 months. The film however does not imply that Nick lives in New York or a native, because he was conducting radiation effects on earthworms in Chernobyl, and the military higherups remove him from their operations when Audrey stole his tape (therefore leaving New York). There was no indication that Nick even knows someone, let alone an assistant, that could have helped find Godzilla's father faster to prevent casualties that ensued in the film. | |

Cowardly Lion | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_64070096 | comment |
In the film, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich excised Godzilla's ability to use the atomic breath, which is one of Godzilla's iconic powers because they thought it was unrealistic. In this series, not only are they the executive producers of the show, Godzilla in this series was given his own atomic breath, and is portrayed as a heroic character, something Devlin and Emmerich couldn't decide for his father if he were to be a heroic or villainous, and decided on neither. Not to mention Godzilla actually behaves like his Japanese counterparts while his father was a Cowardly Lion that would retaliate when sufficiently pissed. | |

Animal Wrongs Group: S.C.A.L.E. (Servants of Creatures Arriving Late to Earth) are effectively terrorists trying to "protect" mutants such as Skeetera no matter how dangerous they are. They originated as a spin-off/splinter faction from another animal rights group, but judging from Audrey's report, that one averts this trope and is in fact quite reputable. Historically, the group's tactic had been peaceful until the arrival of the fanatically insane Alexandra Springer, whose extensive military training and vast weaponized resources transformed the organization into an unpredictable band of terrorists. | |

Shooting Superman: Naturally, though not as bad as the Japanese films since this is set as the same continuity where shooting a giant monster worked, and the army usually avoids it, but it still has some blatant cases like soldiers trying to shoot the C-Rex with small arms. Though even this can be forgiven to a degree, since this is the dawn of the age of Kaiju in this world, and they don't know what will or will not work against monsters. Several methods of shooting monsters with human weapons are shown to work a few times in the show. | |

Story-Breaker Power: Godzilla often ends up disabled or otherwise occupied to prevent him from just roasting the monster with his atomic breath or otherwise killing it; sometimes the HEAT team is prevented from assisting him, other times they're occupied by figuring out the real solution to the problem with Godzilla keeping the kaiju busy in the meantime. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Kind of a strange case in the first two episodes, when Nick claims that the military was "wrong" for trying to kill Godzilla Junior, as "He wasn't hurting anyone." This despite the fact that the previous specimen nearly leveled the city, and the current one is seen shooting atomic fire out of his mouth, even before the military showed up. In fact, Nick was previously advocating the creature's destruction, and was trying to force the military to do that exact thing. He gets a little better. | |

Your Size May Vary | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: Inevitably, almost all the monsters end up appearing to change size from scene to scene due to animation inconsistencies, although this usually isn't too drastic. It was especially common with smaller monsters, who would appear just big enough to menace individual humans in some scenes and suddenly balloon to much bigger when fighting Godzilla. The Lizard King himself would either the size of Godzilla Senior, to being as big as Heisei Godzilla. Godzilla's size is especially increased when Nick and Monique enter his body to fight the Mutant Bacillus infecting him in "What A Long Strange Trip It's Been." The show would be horribly inconsistent with the size of enemy monster King Cobra in "Competition." In one scene, he would be massive enough to tower over Godzilla and completely envelope him in his coils. In another, he's small enough for Godzilla to bite down on his neck and toss around like a rag doll. It thankfully didn't happen too often, but when it did, it was jarring. | |

Strong Flesh, Weak Steel: Likely in part because of censors regarding violence, flesh and blood giant monsters are always more durable than anything mechanical, most notably shown in "Competition" Godzilla manages to stay in the fight after the King Cobra tries to crush him, but the Robo-Yeti gets knocked out of the fight both times, the second time actually leading to it's head getting broken off. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death: All over the place. Many of the kaiju that are killed are given rather nasty demises. The most notable are probably the Chameleon's death, which is Taken for Granite and crumbles to dust, Cyber-Zilla getting disemboweled on-screen, and the multiple times Godzilla finishes off an enemy by burning them alive. In "Monster Wars, Part 3", a Leviathan alien crashes into the back of Monster Island, and melts on-screen. | |

Feed It with Fire: Several times had Zilla fire his plasma breath at both the Fire Monster ("Ring of Fire") and the Crackler manifested from dreams ("What Dreams May Come"), each time causing them to grow bigger and more powerful as a result. "D.O.A." had a military force use a biological weapon against El Gusano Gigante, but it turned out to be derived from its natural food, so it fed on the weapon to grow bigger, stronger and pointier. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Purposefully done with Junior. He's much tougher than his daddy and much closer to the Power Levels of the Japanese Godzilla. Nick is much more active than he used to be when Matthew Broderick portrayed him in the movie. Same with Craven, who gets more into the action as the show goes on. Cyborg Godzilla from "Monster Wars." Unlike Junior, this is the original monster from the film this spun off of, but now can breathe fire, shoot lasers, and fire missiles. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: More often than not, most authoritative figures or those with some power tend to always opt for the perspective of seeing the kaiju as simply monsters, animals at best (if that could even be considered "best", given animal cruelty cases). Examples include: the captain from Fort McKinley in "End of the Line" evoking with "a monster is a monster"; just seeing them as weapons as demonstrated in "Where Is Thy Sting"; or just "toys" tied to money, as seen in "Freak Show", "Winter of Our Discontent", and "Tourist Trap". Major Hicks is about the only authoritative person to at least consider alternative options and give the kaiju a smidgen of respect for their abilities. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Multiple ones back to the film. The first scene of the series is a giant one: a shortened, animated version of the climax of the cab chase from the end of the film and Godzilla, Sr.'s demise on the Brooklyn Bridge. Nick having an aquarium tank of earthworms in the first episode, his use of "annelid" when referring to El Gusano in "D.O.A." note The formal name is Annelida, the phylum for a lot of worms., and knowing how an earthworm looks like on a hot sidewalk on a sunny day. All refer back to his studying of worms. Mendel sneezing into his hand and then offering it for a shake to Nick, which is repeated when Nick introduces him to Randy in the first episode. Obviously, Randy suggests that they just wave. The pronunciation joke/argument on Junior's name. Randy corrects Ifukube's "Gojira" with "Hey! It's 'Godzilla', lady!" in the episode "Competition", which is the complete reverse to Caiman using "Godzilla" and Audrey correcting "It's 'Gojira', you moron!'" in the film. Animal's afraid of Lucy hurting him. His son in "Future Shock" asks to be dismissed to go home or his mother was "gonna thrash" him. In "Cat and Mouse," as the redneck hunters target Godzilla, he passes by a crane hoisting up a new top to the Chrysler Building, which the Army had accidentally destroyed in the movie. The hunters accidentally hit that instead, leading to their arrest at the end of the episode. | |

Giant Equals Invincible: Unlike the film, this is played straight. The only time a monster would die in this series is by fighting each other or a specialized weapon by the main character. Even when it's specially meant to kill, it could have the possibility to hurt Godzilla himself, as Nick had to be careful when the DNA creature turns into Godzilla and Elsie says it could kill him. However, Godzilla is still shown to at least be able to be hurt by conventional weapons, and in "Monster Wars", when the mind control over the monsters is broken and they turn the aliens, the aliens' warships swiftly kill them. | |

"Trust No One" has a shapeshifting genetic experiment whose abilities are explained as being due to "pure DNA", a genetic blank slate, which is nonsensical for the same reasons Pure Energy is. Apparently that translates into the ability to assimilate the genes of whatever living thing it touches, becoming a perfect copy, yet it also still has two distinct sexes required for reproduction even though it regularly switched between characters of different sexes and again was a "blank slate". The only explanation is that being engineered everything but sex chromosomes were made a blank template. | |

Despite being told it isn't finished and also witnessing its aggressive behaviour firsthand, immediately afterwards Dean still wants it ready by tomorrow. Big shocker, the Nanotech Microbes break loose and start attacking people when they are put to use the next day, but now it's too big to be recaptured. General Albondinga's only solution to dealing with Godzilla and El Gusano is using a biological weapon in "D.O.A," and while it works on Godzilla, it only makes El Gusano larger and more powerful, and even after seeing this first-hand for himself, he still insists on using it against them. Circus Mutant Mania ringmaster Tobias Wilson in "Freak Show", in particular regards to Medusa. Had he done some research on observing Medusa after capturing her but before debuting her, it wouldn't have led to her escaping and creating havoc throughout NYC on dehydrating anything with water. Milo Sanders, the "tour guide" of the Manhattan Monster Line in "Tourist Trap", kept putting his passengers and himself in harm's way despite being warned multiple times to leave the area when Godzilla was fighting the Deep Dweller. It's a surprise the city hasn't shut his "tour ride" operation down before his arrest at the end for stealing H.E.A.T.'s helicopter. | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_b72ae7 | comment |
Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Nick's original field is radiobiology (radiation's effects on living things, which is still in effect even if they don't always go into detail) and Elsie's a paleontologist, so it would stand that they would know biology. Elsie has also been mentioned to be the animal behavior expert a few times. While Mendel's exact field wasn't mentioned in the film, he's established as the team's roboticist (what with the repairs N.I.G.E.L. goes through) and is shown to be quite the computer programmer, biochemist, and mechanical engineer. All three have some knowledge of the various branches in chemistry, biochemistry, botany and especially zoology, considering what they're dealing with. Elsie even lampshades their scientific omnidiscipline by mentioning Mendel having two PhDs in the first episode. | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: "What would Gojira be doing in Japan?" asked by a Japanese woman despite Gojira is Godzilla's Japanese name. In the film, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich excised Godzilla's ability to use the atomic breath, which is one of Godzilla's iconic powers because they thought it was unrealistic. In this series, not only are they the executive producers of the show, Godzilla in this series was given his own atomic breath, and is portrayed as a heroic character, something Devlin and Emmerich couldn't decide for his father if he were to be a heroic or villainous, and decided on neither. Not to mention Godzilla actually behaves like his Japanese counterparts while his father was a Cowardly Lion that would retaliate when sufficiently pissed. | |

Godzilla: The Series / int_c446f93c | comment |
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Granted, it's a kids' show, but if Godzilla's atomic breath is as deathly radioactive as in the Japanese films, no one would live. One example is when Craven picks up a recently toasted NIGEL after the Big G fried him for disturbing his sleep in "Vision." You'd think he'd be sick later from it. Radiation poisoning isn't instantaneous since it could take days or years to occur, but Craven's allergies would not be good even around as something as big and radioactive as Godzilla and other monsters. When Godzilla's atomic breath clashes with Sub-Zero Manta's ice breath, it causes a massive weather that could spawn thunderstorms and waterspouts in the area. Since Godzilla is radioactive, he would had caused a radioactive thunderstorm in the area he is in, never mind that thunderstorms themselves can generate harmless radiation. He and his opponent would be fine. As for everyone else... | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In "D.O.A.," Randy and Monique break into a facility to obtain samples of the engineered poison affecting Godzilla. Randy is made to stand guard and ends up surrounded by three armed guards. Monique steps out of the supply room, appraises the situation, and the scene cuts to a shot of the outside of the facility with the sounds of the fight cut over it. It moves back to show the three guards tied up. In the Bad Future of "Future Shock," an older Hicks says that, to combat the Dragmas, he released all the monsters from Monster Island (which included, at least, C-Rex, King Cobra and the Giant Bat), but that they all fell in battle. None of this conflict is shown at all. | |

Shout-Out | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several pop culture references an episode is the norm. And then, Elsie mentions a giant lobster attacking the coast of Manila. Also a Mythology Gag: When Nick tries to awaken Godzilla, he shouts to him if he's gonna let those "Space Monkeys" defeat him and take over Earth. "Competition" has one where JGSDF Dr. Yukiko Ifukube is named after composer Akira Ifukube, who had composed many of the haunting soundtracks for the early Showa Godzilla films. Felix Hoenikker from "Talkin' Trash" references to the identically-named scientist from Cat's Cradle, and the Nanotech Creature shares similarities to the ice-nine from the novel of creating more copies of itself the more it consumed/touched (petroleum-based products in the Nanotech Creature's case, water to more ice-nine). "Competition" is a not so subtle homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion, with the fight between Godzilla and Robo-Yeti on the mountains being framed and lit exactly like that between Unit 01 and Zeruel; Robo-Yeti's true face and teeth even resemble the unmasked 01's. Dr. Ifukube also feels and behaves like a version of Ritsuko with Misato's hair, her background comes directly from a counterpart to the Jet Alone project, and the scene of them hacking into Robo-Yeti reminds visually of that where Ritsuko hacks into MAGI. The mutated Ice Borers in the Antarctic from the episode "Freeze" are a two-fold example. First is they are very much based off the Hotheaded Naked Ice Borer April Fools joke pulled by Discover magazine four years earlier. Second is that they live underground and hunted their prey by tunneling under them before pulling them down, meaning apparently someone on the staff was a fan of Tremors. In "Bird of Paradise," Elsie's ex-fiancé is named Lawrence Cohen. Larry Cohen wrote and directed Q: The Winged Serpent. Both the film and the episode feature the Aztec god Quetzlcoatl - nicknamed "Q" - as an antagonist, and the episode based the monster design on the one in the film. Lawrence’s appearance is also modeled on Larry Cohen. Outside of the Mythology Gag with Robo-Yeti to the first two Mechagodzilla incarnations (not to mention King Kong vs. Godzilla, and the monster Mechanikong), it's skeleton appearance also serves as a Shout-Out to Terminator. Nick puns on The Taming of the Shrew when turning on the wind turbine to negate the Shrewster's tornado in "The Twister." In "The Winter of Our Discontent," the signal that is driving Junior nuts sounds like the siren from Ghostbusters, but lower in pitch. (This is likely because Adelaide Productions had previously produced Extreme Ghostbusters before this show, so they already had the sound effect on hand. The trio of redneck hunters are named Dale, Hank and Bill, though they neither look or sound anything like their apparent namesakes. (It might count as Biting-the-Hand Humor, considering both Godzilla and KOTH were aired on Fox.) In "Trust No One," the scene where the team test the body temperature of each other is an appropriate reference to the famous blood test sequence in The Thing (1982). | |

Colonel Charles Tarrington nearly gets killed by his own bio-engineered scorpions in "Where Is Thy Sting". Paul Dimanche's greed for money lands him in prison when Animal taped him admitting bribery in "The Ballad of Gens Du Marais". Tobias Wilson in "Freak Show" is hinted to have gone to prison when he tries to steal away a liquefied Medusa under the team's and Hick's noses despite the havoc created and obvious danger she presented.

That being said, once it becomes clear Godzilla is on humanity's side, he becomes increasingly accommodating to Nick and the crew calling him in, defends Godzilla from other government authorities who refuse to acknowledge his usefulness, and even coordinates his troops to assist Godzilla numerous times. | |

In the Bad Future of "Future Shock," an older Hicks says that, to combat the Dragmas, he released all the monsters from Monster Island (which included, at least, C-Rex, King Cobra and the Giant Bat), but that they all fell in battle. None of this conflict is shown at all. | |

Continuity Snarl: At the end of the movie, the last Godzilla egg hatched while completely alone. Here, it hatched while Nick was present, allowing Godzilla Jr. to imprint on him. Anthony Hicks was originally an Army colonel in the film, yet it's not clear why he was suddenly reduced in rank to a major in the series. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: The "Monster Wars" three-parter was based on the Godzilla movie Destroy All Monsters. "Trust No One" is basically a PG-version of the The Thing (1982). "Future Shock" is Reign of Fire, which is impressive considering it came out three years before the movie. "What A Long Strange Trip It's Been" is an homage to Fantastic Voyage. | |

Indy Ploy: Most of the plans tend to be formed on the spot, and even those that were previously thought up have to be modified on the fly given how chaotic dealing with giant mutations can be. Examples include Nick modifying Randy's sensor reader into a low-power laser beam when suddenly attacked by the mutated plants in "Hive," to Nick, Monique, and Mendel using their electric prods to build up a big enough of an electric charge with a flagpole to partially weaken the Crackler in "What Dreams May Come," to Nick and Monique needing to find an alternate exit out of Godzilla's body in "What A Long Strange Trip It's Been." | |

Expy | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Hell, everything. Early in development several of the monsters were even named after the Toho kaiju, although they were all In Name Only and never meant to actually be used. But some more specific examples in the series proper include: The Nanotech Creature, a garbage-eating microorganism able to evolve and grow larger by feeding on pollution, is able to shape-shift, and has a semi-fluid body that it tries to kill Godzilla by smothering him in? Sounds exactly like Hedorah. The Crackler, a dream kaiju with electric punches? Fits the description of Gabara (although otherwise the two look nothing alike). The Robo-Yeti, a mecha disguised with a costume to resemble a kaiju, which is burned off by Godzilla's atomic breath? The same thing happened with the Showa Mechagodzilla. Funny enough, the concept of Cyber-Godzilla, a mechanized kaiju that uses the remains of the previous Godzilla as its base, would later find use in a Toho film as the Millennium Mechagodzilla (Kiryu). Quetzalcoatl (Q) is a pterodactyl-like creature which emerges from a volcano, drawing a number of parallels with Rodan. Case in point, Cameron Winter is most likely an expy of Lex Luthor. A Corrupt Corporate Executive? Check. Attempt to control the most powerful creature on the planet (Superman's case, the most powerful alien on the planet)? Check. Attempt to destroy it? Check. Unlimited resources, and impossibly short prison time? Check. Hire Mooks and sometimes idiots? Checkmate. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
Godzilla: The Series / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: The series makes a note of pointing out that most of the monsters are just acting out their natural life cycles like any other animal, such as feeding and reproducing. Unfortunately, their size means that they can no longer act out said life cycle without causing rather severe destruction. Exceptions include the aliens, and arguably the Dragmas and Crackler. note The former is a genetically engineered creature that supplants humanity as the dominant species, and the latter is an id monster created by a man's suppressed rage that goes after anyone who he's angry at. The Spirit of the Swamp zigzags this trope. Its primary goal is to defend the swamp (and by extension the people of said swamp) that the Corrupt Corporate Executive is pillaging, but in doing so, it has a tendency to cause harm to innocent people. | |

Other subjects not science-based is also demonstrated, such as: Mendel uses a sock to filter water from a river for drinking purposes in "Underground Movement", a real wilderness survival technique. Monique makes note that Japan's constitution doesn't allow the Japanese Self-Defense Force to have serious offensive weapons, to which Yukiko insists that Robo-Yeti is defensive in "Competition". | |
