History YMMV / AnimalArmageddon

* SpecialEffectsFailure: One of the most common complaints people have against the series. The animal restorations are ugly as sin, and the graphics in general look as if they had been taken from a video game. The animals themselves come from a prehistoric UncannyValley. ''Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs'' this ain't.

* UncannyValley: Goes hand in hand with the SpecialEffectsFailure.

** One episode has one of the last two ''{{Tyrannosaurus Rex}}''es kill and eat the other, his brother, then it cuts to him some days later, trying desperately to stay on his feet, knowing if he falls, he's never getting up again. Anybody else flash back to the horse from ''Film/TheNeverEndingStory''?

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[http://animal.discovery.com/prehistoric/quetzalcoatlus/ The show's rendition]] of ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is very nice.

* NightmareFuel: Arguably [[spoiler:the last episode, in which an asteroid strike nearly wipes out mankind]].

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The recreations of Earth itself and the scenes without any living things. Also, [[http://animal.discovery.com/prehistoric/quetzalcoatlus/ the show's rendition]] of ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is very nice.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The depiction of the Ordovician, Devonian, and Triassic extinctions being caused by cataclysmic events such as a Gamma Ray burst and extreme volcanism. Out of all the extinctions, only the Permian and Cretaceous extinctions are widely accepted to be caused by cataclysmic events. The Ordovician extinction is likely cause by glaciation, and while there is a theory that suggests a Gamma Ray burst, there's no evidence to prove it. The Devonian extinction is likely caused by climate change as a result of massive forestation, and the Triassic extinction is really ambiguous with no discernible cause, but likely due to species competition from dinosaurs and/or climate change.

** Several of the BadAss creatures, not to mention the extinctions that wipe them out.

* {{Fanon}}: Unsure whether it is fanon or trolling, but just [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Animal_Armageddon&action=history look at the history of Animal Armageddon's Wikipedia page!!!]] Especially the earlier edits.

** It doesn't help that [[spoiler:the last episode is about the possible fate of mankind]].
