2* EnsembleDarkHorse: Axor. He's perhaps the most original monster in a series filled with expies, has a [[AGodAmI God complex]], and is overall so popular he was adapted as part of [[FanficRecs/{{Godzilla}} Matt Frank's "Godzilla Neo" FanFiction series]].
3* HilariousInHindsight: The initial leaked teaser for ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'' shows the corpse of some centipede-like monster with prehensile fingers. One of the monsters on this show [[http://skreeonk.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/1385895_511535462272503_1798025594_n.jpg looks pretty similar]].
4** Godzilla battles a terrorist group called COBRA years before WesternAnimation/GIJoe came along.
5** Because of NuclearWeaponsTaboo, Godzilla's backstory here deviates from the films. He wasn't created by atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, he's essentially a sea monster, [[WeAreAsMayflies an ancient alpha predator pre-dating mankind]]. This is the exact same backstory used in ''Film/Godzilla2014''.
6** ''Multiple'' times later movies emulated the plots of some episodes, intentional or not.
7*** Plot: "A shockwave creating monster attacks San Francisco, resulting in a large burrow in the ground and civilians packing onto the Golden Gate Bridge to flee in which they are menaced when a section of the bridge falls during Godzilla's approach. Godzilla then fights his smaller, shockwave using foe across the city resulting in a finale at San Francisco Bay". Episode 2 ''"The Eartheater"'' or ''Film/Godzilla2014''?
8*** Plot: "An ancient but advanced civilization resurfaces from the sea floor. Our human protagonists are forced onto it as the laser spewing security system comes online. The city's kaiju sized creation goes berserk and menaces both its creators and modern humanity. With the help of the human protagonists and a projected image of the city's ancient leader, the heroic kaiju manages to destroy the creation and the city leaves". Episode 7 ''"The Colossus of Atlantis"'' or ''Film/RebirthOfMothra2''?
9* JustHereForGodzilla: A textbook example. The main human cast is largely interchangeable with the typical Hanna-Barbera cast, and fans generally hate Godzooky, but the battles between Godzilla and the other monsters can still make up for it.
10* PopularWithFurries: It comes with Godzilla himself being popular with furries, but in this show in particular, his grappling combats with the MonsterOfTheWeek often look much less innocent than they're meant to, particularly due to a less reptilian, and more human-like design.
11* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In one episode, Godzooky actually did something useful and became powered up enough to give ''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu freaking Axor]]'' a hard time. Sadly, [[StatusQuoIsGod it didn't last]].
12* TheScrappy: Godzooky. He gets a lot of hate from the Kaiju community, with many likening him as the monster equivalent to Scrappy Doo himself (also created by Hanna-Barbera), similarly being a blatantly obvious and unnecessary PluckyComicRelief and KidAppealCharacter. It doesn't help that he was mostly made because Hanna-Barbera couldn't get the rights to use Minilla, who [[BaseBreakingCharacter while not as hated]], is unpopular for similar reasons.
