* SacredCow: The trilogy as a whole is widely regarded by kaiju fans as three of the greatest kaiju films ever made. Even those who highly prefer Godzilla to Gamera will traditionally acknowledge their consistent and high quality. It's generally not the best idea to badmouth them in a discussion on kaiju works. This is especially true of the [[Film/Gamera3AwakeningOfIrysthird and final film]], which many compare to the original ''[[Film/Godzilla1954 Godzilla]]'' as possibly ''the'' best kaiju movie of all time.

* FriendlyFandoms: With the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' films. Or really, it's more accurate to say the Gamera fanbase exists mostly, if not entirely, as an extension of the Godzilla fanbase.



* AngstWhatAngst: Even though the use of StockFootage clearly shows every film in the franchise happened, the human characters in each subsequent movie always seem to forget that giant monsters and real and repeatedly destroyed Tokyo and other cities in Japan. In particular, everyone seems to forget that Gamera with an almost mindlessly aggressive monster who killed thousands of people in the first two movies.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Sequelitis}}: While the first few films were entertaining, the sequels gradually fell victim to repetitive plots and lower production values, resulting in lower and lower returns. ''Gamera vs. Zigra'' is considered a low point which ended up being a FranchiseKiller, only to be surpassed, nine years later, by an even ''lower'' point with ''Gamera: Super Monster'', which immediately killed the franchise ''again'' (for fifteen years).


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoCheapImitation: The Showa Era of Gamera movies are often derided as being low quality, StrictlyFormula cash-ins on the success of the Godzilla movies at the time, and gradually sank to [[Film/GameraSuperMonster abysmal levels]] in both story and effects. The Heisei trilogy revival, on the other hand, is frequently considered ''better'' than the Godzilla films of the same era and some of the greatest movies of the kaiju genre, proving that the giant turtle could be a respectable and iconic monster in his own right.

** [[Film/GameraVsZigra Gamera Vs. Zigra]]: The film's [[TitleCharacter titular]] [[AliensAreBastards alien]] [[ThreateningShark shark monster]] [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Zigra]] is far more evil than most of the monsters Gamera faces, who are mindless rampaging beasts. Arriving on Earth to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer it]] and [[ToServeMan use humanity as a food source]], Zigra has his agent [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Lora Lee]] cause a massive earthquake that destroys all of UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}}, just to prove how powerful they are. Zigra also sends Lora Lee to [[WouldHurtAChild kill two children]] who [[HeKnowsTooMuch have seen the inside of their spaceship and know what they look like]]. Zigra also uses his ship's lasers to destroy a ship that could have picked up the children, and some fighter aircraft that attacks his spaceship. After his VillainousBreakdown, Zigra decides to forgo any plans of merely conquering Earth, instead opting to [[OmnicidalManiac eradicate all life on it]], making him come out on top as Gamera's most vile opponent in the entire series.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Marugarappa, who only appeared in ''Manga Boys Special Edition: Gamera'', seems like a heroic character. Whereas all the other monsters Gamera faces are all evil or extremely hostile towards him. Unfortunately, not only is his sole appearance in a comic, but also he is killed off quickly. He doesn't even interact with Gamera either. However, given his human size, it's unlikely he could've been any help towards the heroic turtle.

** [[Anime/GameraRebirth GAMERA -Rebirth-]]:[[SmugSnake Nora Melchiorri]] is a member of the board of the Eustace Foundation, and primary leader of their conspiracy. The daughter of a prominent family descending from the [[AbusivePrecursors Hemueden civilization]], Nora previously secured her position by [[SiblingMurder having her sister killed]]. Seeking to reinstate Hemueden's plans for the world, Nora and the Board engineer the awakening of several kaiju, with thousands of innocent people being slaughtered and devoured; the endgame being the [[KillAllHumans extermination of the human race]], save for those they deem "worthy" to inherit. To control the kaiju, the board [[WouldHurtAChild seeks out a child]] with a specific genetic "code" to sacrifice. When Nora's treacherous niece, Emiko, attempts and fails to usurp her, Nora reveals a new trump card: having previously experimented on an infant Gyaos, Nora further mutates it before setting it loose to finish things off. Failing that, Nora attempts to brainwash Gamera with a virus to carry out their plans.

!!!Showa Era:
Despite the, er, dubious quality of the rest of the movie, ''Gamera vs. Zigra'' has a really awesome rendition of the theme song.
** Chuji Kinoshita's score for ''Gamera vs. Barugon''.
** Tadashi Yamauchi's return to the franchise in ''Gamera vs. Gyaos'' is a wonderfully brassy Ostinato score, with an awesome retooled version of the main theme from the first film serving as Gamera's motif.
