The output for both attempts is a mess of barely legible images, and Monique slams Randy's idea by saying "Art comes from within, it cannot be programmed," eerily mirroring the discourse surrounding AI generators and the art world in 2023.

* EvenBetterSequel: The series came from the movie it spun off from which many Godzilla fans consider InNameOnly, and even the original Japanese cast and crew (especially Kenpachiro Satsuma) disliked the film. This series however gave a near-universal praise from fans and Toho for treating the title monster as ''God''zilla, and made him much more TruerToTheText than the film, as well as giving him an atomic breath (called power breath in the show) to fight other giant monsters akin to the Showa and Heisei films. Even though Toho is obliged to call the film monster and the title monster Godzilla, the latter is considered worthy of the name.

** In hindsight, the film was trying to be "realistic" with the title monster, which is why the film Godzilla doesn't have his iconic Atomic Breath. The cartoon throws ''all of the supposed realism out the window'' when you have monsters created by a man's mental state, an out of control nanotechnology monster, a giant germ, a shrew whose DNA ''fused with a tornado'', time travel, and of course Godzilla's atomic breath being brought back in.

Foiled again, Cameron breaks three men out of prison and equips them with battle mechs to kill Godzilla, ordering them to also attack H.E.A.T. and the military when they get in the way. Though the hunters are defeated, Cameron denies any connection with them and claims they stole his mechs and attacked Godzilla on their own.
** "Cash of the Titans" series finale: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Maxmillian Spiel]] is a sadistic businessman who staged [[BeastlyBloodsports illegal fighting rings]] using kaiju monsters for his own elitist purposes. Having turned his [[IslandBase own private island]] into a fight club, Spiel [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals forcibly enslaves Kaiju monsters]] using electric collars or other torturous methods, and makes them fight each other to the death for his own entertainment. Not above making these creatures fight each other senseless, Spiel also gleefully throws other humans into the rings, where he knows that the monsters would mercilessly hunt them down, having implied to have done this to any whistleblowers, rebelling workers, or even his own guards, as he had no qualms trying to leave them to die as soon as he felt that he was cornered. When the members of H.E.A.T. infiltrate his operations, he had them all trapped in his fighting ring in the hopes of killing them, and then when Godzilla showed up, he tried to turn him against H.E.A.T. as a distraction. Finally, at the end, he tries to escape after blowing up his own base, which would result in hundreds if not thousands of deaths.

** And speaking of ''GMK'', when a Japanese child tells her mother she saw Godzilla, her mother asks "What would Gojira be doing in Japan?". At first, this seems to poke at the monster's AdaptationalNationality, but the English dub of ''GMK'' places the series in this continuity, it puts into context that ''Film/Godzilla1954'' happened, and thus explaining the original (Japanese) Godzilla's resurrection. The film also states Godzilla is powered by millions of spirits in revenge for modern Japan's willingness to forget the past actions during World War II, and the original Godzilla's horrific rampage in Tokyo in 1954.

** Sydney Walker's situation from the episode "What Dreams May Come". In order to destroy the Crackler, the heroes have to cut off the rage Sydney's subconscious is feeding it... this involves Randy provoking him until he finally snaps, angrily ranting at his boss, neighbors, and incompetent sports team and him breaking down in tears and begging everyone to just stop screaming. Anyone who has ever been in stressful situations can empathise.
** "Future Shock". An episode that sends most of the gang from HEAT to an alternate, BadFuture version of the year 2028, where humanity is on the run from a race of genetically engineered monsters called the [=D.R.A.G.M.A.s=]. The show intimates that every intelligent Kaiju on Monster Island was unleashed to fight them, and they all failed. Then Nick asks what happened to Godzilla. We're then shown a memorial statue, where Mendel tells us that Godzilla took a LastStand against the Dragmas to protect the last few million or so humans from them. He ''succeeded''. Proving to be utterly DefiantToTheEnd, it's further implied he killed at least a few of them before he went down. Godzilla was very much a HeroWithBadPublicity in the regular timeline and more or less remains so even after this timeline is averted. So to see him memorialized this way was both a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment, as well as a heartbreaking gut punch to know that [[HeroicSacrifice this]] is what it took for him to go from being a barely tolerated monster to [[HeroesFrontierStep a genuine hero]] in the eyes of humankind.
** The episode "End of the Line" has Godzilla falling in love with a female monster named Komodithrax. The relationship the two end up sharing is very sweet and Godzilla even becomes the surrogate father to her unhatched egg. [[spoiler:However, the two of them get attacked by a giant mutant turtle who tries to destroy the egg. The turtle succeeds in beating down Godzilla and almost breaks the egg, but Komodithrax fights him off and throws him down a ravine... though tragically she and her egg fall to their deaths as well. The final shot of the episode is Godzilla mournfully roaring.]]

It's only when Randy takes "a shot the old fashion way" on pencil and paper that gets actual approval from Elsie, Mendel, and Monique.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Did this to the original movie... sort of. The movie is still considered [[SoOkayItsAverage not good]], but it made the characters from the film, and Zilla, Jr. himself, much improved from the original form, and [[TookALevelInBadass powerful enough]] that they could call it '''God'''zilla again, fixing his MeaningfulName as "God incarnate".

* SalvagedStory: A major criticism of the live-action film is that Zilla was Godzilla InNameOnly. Here, Zilla Jr. ends up being TruerToTheText, having the atomic breath, as well as each episode involving him fighting a different Kaiju, like most actual Godzilla films.

* CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Cameron Winter]] takes control of Godzilla and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy makes him destroy properties]] so he can collect insurance money, even making Godzilla attack a military base and endanger the lives of 500 soldiers. Defeated by H.E.A.T., Cameron returns for revenge and creates a giant monster called the Chameleon to have it attack humans and [[FrameUp frame]] Godzilla for the attacks, before having the Chameleon defeat and kill Godzilla so Cameron can be seen as a hero for creating the thing that kills Godzilla. Foiled again, Cameron breaks three men out of prison and equips them with battle mechs to kill Godzilla, ordering them to also attack H.E.A.T. and the military when they get in the way. Though the hunters are defeated, Cameron denies any connection with them and claims they stole his mechs and attacked Godzilla on their own.

%% * WhatAnIdiot: At the end of "Cat and Mouse", the hunters approach Mayor Ebert about a reward for their efforts... while still holding their ''rocket launchers''. The mayor has them arrested for destroying the (just rebuilt) Chrysler Building. Even if they weren't guilty of gratuitous property damage, you have to be a special kind of stupid to walk up to an elected official with a piece of military-grade weaponry slung over your shoulder.
