History YMMV / KongTheAnimatedSeries

* NarmCharm: Regardless of the quality of the series itself, or the fact that the producers obviously tried to come up with the most outlandish plot possible to insert King Kong into in order to make it attractive to a young audience, many people liked the premise only for how imaginative and crazy it was (namely, that King Kong and a tribe of protectors had trapped an ancient demon, that a Hispanic cyborg professor from today wanted to free it, and that a new Kong had been cloned with human DNA thanks to a quasi-magical biotechnology which is also used through the series to create all sorts of zoomorphic kaiju).

* EvilIsSexy: [[SnakesAreSexy Queen]] [[GorgeousGorgon Reptilla]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Tiger Lucy. Judging from her skill and her relationship with the Tannenbaum family, it's implied that she's already an experienced cat burglar and used to be on good terms with Tann before he witnessed that she was working for De La Porta, too. The impression of her debut and her cunning side would lead viewers to think that she would become a rival or ArchEnemies for Lua or Tann. However, since she's way too OutOfFocus compared to the other De La Porta henchmen, she ultimately ended up as a minor antagonist. And the extent of her relationship with Tann remains unknown. Whether they used to be a pair of former lovers or just old best friends is left up in the air.

** ''Return to the Jungle'': [[EgomaniacHunter Hunter Stag III]] is a famous billionaire adventurer whose specialty is [[EvilPoacher hunting animals]] of all kinds. Ever since he heard the story of his grandfather capturing the first Kong, Stag has become obsessed with the idea of surpassing him by capturing every creature of Kong's Island. Allying himself with the notorious criminal Professor Ramon(e) De La Porta, Hunter Stag finds the island and sends his army of [[MechaMooks Cyber-Hunters]] to brutally captures all the animals before bringing them to New York City. Once there, Stag deliberately lets the [[PrehistoricMonster prehistoric creatures]] escape and attack the city, endangering countless civilians in the process, as [[EngineeredHeroics he wants to capture them again before witnesses and be seen as the city's savior]]. Stag also cruelly betrays his partner De La Porta, putting the blame on him for the animals' rampage. When Kong, Jason, Tann and Lua attempt to oppose him, Stag uses a soundwave device to drive the ''[[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' crazy, and sends it after Kong while he tries to kill the others himself. Devoid of any compassion for animals and humans alike, Hunter Stag proves to be so ruthless that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even De La Porta himself is horrified by his actions]].

* IdiotPlot: Ages ago the evil Chiros was trapped by the original Kong and Lua's people in a sanctified stone, but is released early in the show. At the end he's imprisoned again as he was before, but this time Kong simply destroys the stone so Chiros can't escape again, meaning it was an option the first time, too.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Chiros the Destroyer]] was once an Atlantean shaman named Shikala who sought to perform a ritual to help him master all the powers of the universe. Transformed into a powerful entity by the ritual, he decided to use his new power to KillAllHumans and rule over what remained of the planet afterward. Having been [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned by the Primal Stones]], Chiros has his minions try and retrieve the stones to free him. In the finale, Chiros is freed with the stones and drains Professor Ramone De La Porta's life force to restore his power. He plans to imprison Kong the same way he was imprisoned, and keep him trapped there forever, where Kong will be [[AndIMustScream kept alive for thousands of years but unable to leave]].

* AwesomeMusic: Whatever else one might say about the show, the intro music is pretty darn epic.
