Removal as per TRS decision for What An Idiot


* WhatAnIdiot: A freak summer storm that lasts four minutes apparently presents enough of a threat to the electro-barrier that the good Doctor orders that the city's main defense be ''turned off.''

** The titular Neptune Men have certain resemblance to the Marvel supervillain Whirlwind, especially the helmets.

It wasn't in the World War II or III movie; in World War III Breaks Out, the destruction happens in the climax, and there's NUKES involved. no gradual blasting of cities as the neptunes did here.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Again, the Hitler Building. It was originally from a film about World War II, where it [[ItMakesSenseInContext may have actually made sense]], but here it's a total non-sequitur.

* StockFootageFailure: The interminable final battle between Space Chief and the Neptune Men is very obviously just the same few short clips of them fighting shown over and over again. Even the shot of Space Chief waving in his ship is used twice. This is fortunately not the case in the Japanese version of the scene, which is '''far shorter''' than the mess in the US release.

* TrappedByMountainLions: At one point late in the movie the Neptune men try to use their ship to cause an EndlessWinter (how this works is never explained.) About five minutes later,the humans somehow counteract it using the Electro-barrier (which also isn't really explained), and the temperature returns to normal. As Crow put it "Yay, our quick and pointless plot cul de sac is over!"
