* TroubledProduction: The show and its graphic novel underwent some hiccups in their production.
** For season 3 of the show, the showrunners and the crew had to make most of the show at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
** Zigzagged with The Final Chapter. Initially it was difficult for Olan to secure the rights to make the graphic novel due to the fact that the show was made a tax writer off. He was also hit with strict restrictions from WB on what he can and can’t do with the novel. He managed to hire several professionals to help him with the novel with him making updates that the drawing and inking of the recap portion was going smoothly, all while juggling that project with his prior commitment, Godspeed. Olan also suffered some at home injuries during production such as an eye abrasion from cleaning a mat, and a broken tailbone from slipping on the basement stairs on Thanksgiving 2023.

** Little Cato. Dear lord, that boy has been through a lot because nothing seems to ever go right for him. Having been kidnapped by the Lord Commander, he has been imprisoned for 3 years, abused and fallen victim to MindRape. He has also been put into multiple life threatening situations nonstop even after he was rescued. Plus when things were starting to look up for him in episode 6, [[spoiler:he loses his father]].
** Mooncake is nothing but friendly and sweet and even though he's capable of destroying planets, he's just an innocent and somewhat helpless RidiculouslyCuteCritter who's hunted by the BigBad for the latter's own wicked ends. There's a good reason why [[spoiler: sadistically taking a hold of and draining his powers while the poor guy is visibly suffering is considered Ash's MoralEventHorizon.]]
** Gary cannot catch a breather. His dad seemingly died when he was young, and his own mother neglected him after. In his adult years, he finds himself imprisoned on the Galaxy One for 5 years, with nothing but annoying robots to talk to. Fast forward, his arm is ripped off by an evil alien dictator, and his friend is killed. Virtually all pressure is on Gary to stop the Lord Commander, and he fails pretty hard, even losing Quinn and the Earth in the process. Enter the second season, and things still aren’t looking good for him. He is enslaved by his Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Clarence, and everyone who isn’t apart of the Crimson Light is pretty much gunning for him. The evil Titan god Invictus, who possesses a revived Avocato and severely wounds Gary, an evil maniac named Todd Watson who wants to kill and blame Gary for the destruction of Earth, his criminal mother Sheryl who is trying to steal the dimensional keys from Gary and hand him over to Todd, and so on so forth. Despite all the crap he has put up with, Gary still remains a relatively headstrong fellow throughout the series.
** That one Zombie Gary Ash exorcized in ''The Dead Speak''. Dear ''God'', that poor bastard... He died a painful death, all alone, describing it as "drowning in an ocean of Space". His Quinn never came back to save him, and he ended up becoming yet another one of the countless Garys who died closing the Breach, only to become one of Invictus' puppets. The fact that he at least got to [[DyingAsYourself die as himself]] does nothing to erase the fact that he was just as lovable as "our" Gary, and that every single Zombie Gary used to be that same kind-hearted, heroic dork we know and love.

* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** The entire scene where Gary wears the skin of a dead alien mother in chapter 2 is seen as one of the most messed up moments in the show, especially when that alien’s two children accidentally tear it up. This is later repeated in season 2 when Gary causes the mother in the past to suffer a heart attack after she accidentally tears her father's dead skin (which Gary was wearing as a disguise) off Gary's face.
** The Galaxy One running over a school of baby sea turtles while heading to New York. Even KVN lampshades on it.
** [[spoiler: Gary crying TearsOfJoy upon seeing KVN die before his very eyes in episode 10.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Gary''': It's so beautiful!]]
** The opening scene of "The Happy Place." Little Cato "reclaiming" the ship by [[ExcrementStatement marking his territory]] in urine: funny joke. Clarence and his team following suit: predictable. Both groups getting in a literal pissing contest: eyeroll-worthy. The extremes to which the showrunners take the joke in a matter of seconds: laugh until you piss ''yourself''!
** “The Grand Surrender” Episode has two such occurrences:
*** The first has KVN dress up as the Serepentian goddess Sentella and tricking hundreds of cultists into falling off a cliff to their deaths
*** The second involves Fox accidentally pushing the alien groom off the Crimson Light without a parachute, which results in the groom being killed while his remains and blood get splattered all over the woman he intends to marry. As a final touch, HUE throws a traditional handful of rice over the ceremony so that the birds can die, too.
** “The Lost Spy” is full of this trope. For example:
*** Not only does Ash want to add Gary’s heart to her collection, she “reassures” him that his would be the ''only'' heart there. The rest are spleens.
*** An informant demands to be stabbed in exchange for information because “it might be cool.” [[TooDumbToLive Repeatedly]]. To the point where he gushes blood goes into another alien’s drink, ''and they still drink it''.
*** Clarence plays gold digger and marries a squid-like queen he finds repulsive, then has sex with her, accidentally poisons her with a suicide capsule, and hides in her uterus before she comes to and “gives birth” to him.

**That one Zombie Gary Ash exorcized in ''The Dead Speak''. Dear ''God'', that poor bastard... He died a painful death, all alone, describing it as "drowning in an ocean of Space". His Quinn never came back to save him, and he ended up becoming yet another one of the countless Garys who died closing the Breach, only to become one of Invictus' puppets. The fact that he at least got to [[DyingAsYourself die as himself]] does nothing to erase the fact that he was just as lovable as "our" Gary, and that every single Zombie Gary used to be that same kind-hearted, heroic dork we know and love.

** Whilst [[spoiler:Ash]]'s actions after their corruption is complete are evidently intended to be [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope pretty dang vile]] (which is in line with the show's consistent portrayal of Sheryl, Todd and Clarence's motives being absolutely no excuse for them hurting innocent people), [[spoiler: there is the excuse that she ''was'' being gaslit and manipulated by an EldritchAbomination, plus the fact that she came from a pretty grim background]]. That being said, such a FreudianExcuse would be more believable if [[spoiler: she wasn't was unfairly lashing out at Gary and the rest of the Team Squad over things beyond their control, such as Nightfall and her brother's deaths]].
** In their early scenes together, Gary's flirtatious behaviour towards Quinn, when she makes it extremely clear she's not interested in him and is openly irritated with it, is pretty much sexual harassment.

** [[spoiler:Ash's FaceHeelTurn into joining [[BigBad Invictus]] and attacking Mooncake and the Team Squad to set it loose on the universe is overall meant to be a tragic affair after she's been driven past the DespairEventHorizon]]. However, whilst [[spoiler:Ash]]'s actions after their corruption is complete ''are'' intended to be [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope pretty dang vile]] (which is in line with the show's consistent portrayal of Sheryl, Todd and Clarence's motives being absolutely no excuse for them hurting innocent people), and whilst [[spoiler:Ash]] ''does'' have the excuse that Invictus is an EldritchAbomination with a [[ManipulativeBastard track record for convincing even the most powerful characters that they want to serve it]]; many viewers found it hard to feel for [[spoiler:Ash]]'s turn at all [[spoiler:because: (A) she was unfairly lashing out at Gary and the rest of the Team Squad over things beyond their control, and (B) not even the NightmareFetishist norms of the culture Ash was raised in can excuse her suspecting Invictus is the good guy, when Invictus ''directly admitted '''to her face'''[==] before her corruption'' that it would quote-unquote "'''burn this universe to nothing'''" if she ever helped it escape]].

* HesJustHiding: Despite [[spoiler:getting his head ripped off onscreen, many fans believe that Bolo could return somehow. The first piece of evidence they use is that fact that Bolo's head is still intact, and when Bolo killed the lizard Titan and Oreskis, he made it a point to destroy their heads, invoking BizarreAlienBiology. The second piece of evidence is the fact that Bolo went down anti-climatically at the hands of a newly Titan-ified Lord Commander, and many feel that if the Titan really was to die, it would be more climatic in a manner befitting the Team Squads most powerful ally]]

* CultClassic: The show received mixed reviews during it's first season, and despite GrowingTheBeard, never achieved the same level of recognition as its peers such as ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' and ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. That being said, it still achieved an impressive 8.2/10 on IMDb, and there was a massive outcry when it was cancelled and written off. When the graphic novel was announced, the initial pre-orders sold out within 28 hours. Over 21k pre-orders have been sold as of this writing.

* SalvagedStory: Seasons 2 and 3 make a point of toning down Gary's loud, hyperactive nature a decent bit, introducing more characters to push him more towards a comedic StraightMan role for the likes of Clarence and his kids to bounce off of, which several detractors of his initial characterization found easier to swallow. There's even some open SelfDeprecation with regards to his noise level in Season 1.

* SendingStuffToSaveTheShow: Since it's cancellation, and eventual tax write-off made by Warner Bros. Discovery, much of the fanbase and even series creator Olan Rogers refused to give up on the show. Olan would launch a very succesful Kickstarter campaign involving an animated short called Godspeed, heavily influenced by the show, as well incorporating unused ideas from planned future seasons into it. Also, fans on social media demanded to renew the show, as well several products on the online shop Star Cadet, including t-shirts and caps. After 2 years, on April 24th it was announced that the show would get an ending in the form of a self-published graphic novel named Final Space: The Final Chapter, set to release in 2024.
