History YMMV / Metalocalypse

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: [[{{Gorn}} Wow!]] [[CrapsackWorld Just... WOW!]] This may have started to become more prominent as the show draws to its close. As of Season 4 onward, the story [[spoiler: with the introduction of the Church of the Black Klok]] is treating the band as the good guys. While Dethklok's enemies are nasty people, it doesn't change the fact that death and destruction follow the band where ever they go. In the early seasons the show didn't seem like it ''had'' a true good guy, the main difference is that the antagonists are actively plotting, whereas most of the havoc Dethklok is responsible for happens by accident and the band's own negligence.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Mister Salacia]] is the puppetmaster behind [[Characters/MetalocalypseTribunal the Tribunal]] monitoring [[Characters/MetalocalypseDethklok Dethklok]]. At first seeming to be simply an influential human power broker, Salacia reveals himself to be far more when he uses telekinesis to gruesomely massacre a group of subordinates for acting without sanction, and later takes over the mind of military general Crozier to reroute US Army resources to the mysterious Falconback Project. In [[WesternAnimation/MetalocalypseArmyOfTheDoomstar the finale]], Salacia is revealed as an EldritchAbomination from another dimension who lost most of his power upon getting trapped on Earth in ancient times, and has manipulated influential people throughout history to regain his full strength. His goal is to bring [[WeirdMoon the Doomstar]] to Earth and perform a ritual to transform it into a portal to his home dimension--and [[ItsAllAboutMe Salacia]] cares absolutely nothing for the fact that doing so will render the Earth a lifeless husk due to the star's extreme heat. When Dethklok finally confronts him face to face, Salacia reveals that once he's done draining their mystical energies to power the Falconback device for the ritual, he plans on killing all of them except frontman Nathan Explosion, whom he intends to keep as his immortal, tortured plaything for all eternity.

* FriendlyFandoms: Metalocalypse fans seem to get along well with WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers fans due to both of them being underrated Adult Swim shows.

** The internet would like you to know that Dr. Rockso is the Rock 'n' Roll clown, and he does cocaine.

** Nathan Explosion has extraordinary talent in music, borderline obsessive interest in death metal, profound lack of social empathy [which he later grows out of], speech difficulties, and literal thinking), and seems to have some degree of dyslexia as he has trouble reading Shakespeare in "Dethkids" and stumbles through the written speeches Offdensen gave for his political elections in "Dethgov". He also had delayed language development (he didn't talk until he was five), and is [[TheStoic far less emotive compared to his bandmates]]. Some fans speculate that he's on the autism spectrum.
