* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The LighterAndSofter take on the show instead of what was shown back in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', including the slightly altered motive for why Zeta went rogue (''Batman Beyond'' stated that he left because he couldn't deprive a man from his growing family, ''The Zeta Project'' states he left because the man was innocent), Zeta's new ''modus operandi'', Zeta's new appearance, and so on.

He had no idea what they were doing.")[[/note]]), Zeta's new ''modus operandi'', Zeta's new appearance, and so on.

Renamed some tropes.


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Whether Dr. Myrell is [[TragicVillain selling inventions on the black market to keep his charitable foundation open]], or because his foundation is a FakeCharity not drawing in enough money to satisfy him is a bit ambiguous.

* WhatAnIdiot: Agent West. For example, in one episode he gets on a train and informs Bennett that he is going to stop the train. Bennett has to inform West that there are no other NSA agents there and that therefore stopping the train would give Zeta and Ro a chance to escape.

Misuse; The Scrappy is a character who is hated by reasons unintended by the work.


* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Bucky in season 2 is a far cry from the selfish and obnoxious brat he was in his debut episode.
* TheScrappy: At least until the second season, not many fans were fond of Bucky. It didn't help that his first episode has him try to kill a man using Zeta and mind control.

Shoehorn. Zeta is just a letter. Organizations/characters named after it are plentiful.


* HilariousInHindsight:
** In a dark way, Zeta being a kid's show title when over the next couple decades the name became more associated with an infamous drug cartel.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Not really. Actors working together in two separate projects is not something unusual. Given that there is nothing similat between these characters, this example is misuse.


** [[Creator/MichaelRosenbaum Agent West]] and [[Creator/LaurenTom Agent Lee]] share their voices with the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' incarnations of Kid Flash and Jinx. Really puts their relationships into perspective, huh?
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
If an example can be seen as both Hilarious In Hindsight and Harsher In Hindsight, it's probably neither.


** After 9/11, the NSA quit referring to Zeta as a terrorist or talking about terrorists. In RealLife, the NSA began focusing more on terrorists after the events of 9/11. Doubles as HarsherInHindsight.

* FanPreferredCouple[=/=]RoboShip: Zeta and Ro. The show is technically NoHuggingNoKissing, though with lots of ShipTease.
** ShipSinking: The creator has said had the show continued with a third season, they wouldn't become a couple.

Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut, going to see if this fits better under An Aesop.

The changeover to Strong wouldn't have until the penultimate episode of the series; it was still Tom in "Lightspeed".
