* ShipwreckStart: The first season, which follows the crew of the ''Once Upon a Maritime'', Annie, and the group of PrivateMilitaryContractors led by Irene all getting stranded on the IsleOfGiantHorrors, starts with the Kraken violently attacking the former ship in the season premiere, with the next episode confirming that the Kraken also destroyed Irene's group's ship offscreen; shipwrecking the entire cast. The overarching plot of the first season focuses on the cast trying to find a way off the island, which is further hampered by the Kraken continuing to destroy any potential rescue that comes by sea or air for the group.

** The Skull Devil in ''Kong: Skull Island'' was a green, reptilian-looking monster which primarily lived on land, specialized in close-ranged attacks, only awoke and showed up near the end, and it has the excuse that it's so hostile and murderous because its own biology plagues it with HorrorHunger that constantly drives its species to attack anything made of meat. The Kraken which serves as the BigBad of this show's first season, on the other hand, is a bluish SeaMonster [[spoiler:which is actually a chimeric blend of fish, crustacean and cephalopodic traits]]: its CombatTentacles make it a lot more efficient at very long-ranged attacks, it was awoken and has been a menace since before the series' start according to the WholeEpisodeFlashback, and it's extremely {{sadist}}ic to the point that it's practically a piscine version of [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah Ghidorah]], with the cast concluding that it just acts this way because it's an asshole.
** Irene with her band of PrivateMilitaryContractors contrast Colonel Packard from ''Kong: Skull Island''. Packard was a military man motivated by revenge, and he started out as a relatively good man but he was consumed by his vendetta, increasingly endangering everyone else around him whom he was originally supposed to be protecting. Irene on the other hand is a botanist [[spoiler:and a MamaBear motivated to get her now-feral MissingChild back,]] she acts increasingly less antagonistic and more genial to the heroes the closer she gets to her goals, and she and her mercs ultimately help everyone to take down the Kraken.

* DeathByIrony: Narrowly averted. Irene, who is a botanist, is almost eaten by a living plant. She verbally states that she does ''not'' intend to go out this way.

* VilerNewVillain: Compared to the Skullcrawlers in ''Kong: Skull Island'', who are so vicious, voracious and hostile because they're [[HorrorHunger hypervores]] who can't help themselves; the Kraken in this series has no such excuse, and it's even ''more'' sadistic and cruel in personality -- think if King Ghidorah got reincarnated inside a SeaMonster. Among the PrivateMilitaryContractors however, this trope is {{inverted|Trope}} [[spoiler:-- compared to the human antagonists of preceding Franchise/MonsterVerse instalments, whom conspired and plotted murder, mass endagerment, genocide, and Protector Titan regicide, the mercs in this series are among the nicest human villains in the franchise; being cordial to the human heroes once they get to know them, and ultimately being out to bring a [[WildChild feral child]] back to civilization and to her long-lost grieving mother]].
