YMMV / Animal Armageddon

Go To

  • Awesome Music: See here (skip to 1:30).
  • Fanon: It's uncertain whether it is fanon or trolling, but just look at the history of Animal Armageddon's Wikipedia page!!! Especially the earlier edits.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • an asteroid strike nearly wipes out mankind.
    • Several of the badass creatures, not to mention the extinctions that wipe them out.
  • Special Effects Failure: One of the most common complaints people have against the series. The animal restorations are ugly as sin, and the graphics in general look as if they had been taken from a video game. The animals themselves are just as creepy. Walking with Dinosaurs this ain't.
  • Tear Jerker: Several of the creature's sad fates in the face of extinction definitely qualify.
    • One episode has one of the last two Tyrannosaurus rexes kill and eat the other, his brother, then it cuts to him some days later, trying desperately to stay on his feet, knowing if he falls, he's never getting up again. Anybody else flash back to the horse from The NeverEnding Story?
      • I believe it was his mate, not his brother.
    • The end of the Permian episode somberly pauses to describe the extinction of the Dicynodonts and the Gorgonopsians. A dead Dicynodont is shown lying in the desert, while the narrator says "this is their only legacy". Then cut to a dying Gorgonopsian collapsing in the desert, while the narrator describes the last members of the species Dying Alone.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The show's rendition of Quetzalcoatlus is very nice.
