* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While the show would have difficulty being made today, the roster of main characters was based on “ironic racism” theme with lack of LGBT caricatures/heroes being reflection on the 2000’s generally neutral attitude on such demographics (at least in terms of gay jokes not being scrutinized) as stated in this [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8shnIzix4Ec review]].

* CluelessAesop: This is arguably the main problem with the series. Basically, the series is trying to [[PrejudiceAesop talk about racism]]. However, the presentation is so garbled that it can be unclear what the actual point is supposed to be. For a specific example, "El Dia Gigante" is about how El Jefe's dad, El Yo, views El Jefe as promoting negative stereotypes of Mexican culture. Given the fact El Jefe is a combination of various Mexican stereotypes by design, you think the story would take El Yo's side. However, he unleashes a Main/{{Kaiju}} on the city to [[DisproportionateRetribution kill people for praising El Jefe]] and attempts to murder Fasto and Jewcano. This seems to suggest we aren't supposed to agree with him. So, this just begs the question of [[LostAesop what the story is trying convey]].
