** In general during TheNew10s, many of the more light-hearted aspects of the Showa Era came to be embraced or [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]] rather than reviled, mocked, or [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]] as they had been during the 2000s. This trend is even seen in official media (most notably the IDW comics) in addition to fan works.
*** This is generally chalked up to fans from the 90s through the 2000s trying to seem "mature" and worthy of respect by playing up the DarkerAndEdgier aspects of the franchise (given public perception of Godzilla at this time was mostly shaped by OutOfContext perceptions of the Showa Era and later the abysmal 1998 film, and consequently a laughingstock in the public eye and wider nerd culture). Most of these attempts failed, largely due to lacking the gravitas, tact, and respect said dark topics should be treated with and playing horrific events and subjects purely for shock value. Due to ''Film/PacificRim'''s {{Reconstruction}} and ''Film/Godzilla2014'''s DeconReconSwitch, as well as the franchise's and genre's increasing popularity in the mainstream, this bad habit faded (although has not yet gone away entirely). See VindicatedByHistory below.
