He beats up a man on a crutch and his wife, stole their money, and burned their house down. And still he wouldn't stop!

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Gamera has been hit with criticism of being a rip-off of Godzilla, [[FandomRivalry especially from the Godzilla fanbase]]. This is mostly warranted with the first two films, which do rather blatantly steal scenes from Godzilla's first two movies, but later films avoided this.
* [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel Surprisingly Improved New Series]]: Almost unanimously regarded as superior to the the Showa series, and made Gamera his own distinct character with more to separate him from Godzilla.

Still others believe he was a 'failsafe' made to take out Gamera should he turn on mankind like the Gyaos did and Gamera's disreguard for mankind awakened him.

In ''Manga/DragonBall'' not only was Master Roshi a trainer of Turtle-Style Martial arts, but also rode a baby Gamera, and the KamehameHa can be translated as "'''Turtle''' Destruction Wave". Even better, it's a combined energy attack using the power of the planet akin to Goku's Spirit Bomb.

* WhatAnIdiot: The military for most of the third film. Lets see, Gamera, in the process of killing Gyaos who have been ''confirmed'' to be capable of destroying an entire civilization that's ''more'' advanced than humanity, causes a good deal of damage to the city. The military instantly turn on him, not considering the possibility the Gyaos may be the bigger threat. Then, when Gamera is fighting Iris, the military decide to concentrate on killing Gamera...who has ''never'' been an ''active'' threat to humanity and is presently locked in combat with a known ''maneater''. At least the finally get it together at the end of the film, but still, had they just let Gamera kill Iris instead of slowing him down and letting Iris make landfall, a ''lot'' of death and destruction would've been avoided.
