* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Unlike later incarnations, this Mothra appears much more ruthless. All she cares about is fairy companions and nothing else. She is perfectly fine with killing many people just to get them back. For example, she sinks an ocean liner maned Orion Maru, despite it only being in the way.

* {{Greed}}: Considering [[Creator/IshiroHonda who created this film]], it's easy to tell that greed can cause everlasting consequences. Nelson's greed caused so much destruction just for kidnapping the Shobijin just so he can be more rich than he already is. In fact, because of his actions, an ''entire country'' is on his ass when they spot him to the point where he undergoes a VillainousBreakdown and gets gunned down. All because of greed.

Mothra is a giant moth monster, who later became a common recurring character in [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Godzilla's]] films. Created when the {{Kaiju}} genre was still in its infancy, the 1961 ''Mothra'' wasn't dark and full of horror. In contrast, the film was colorful and had an air of fantasy about it. There's an influence of Western Christianity as well. Instead of ending with her death, Mothra achieves her mission and leaves on good terms. The actual villain is a greedy capitalist and tomb raider from the American and Russian stand-in, Rolisica.
