* AmericansHateTingle: Yongary, for the rest of the world, is just "another kaiju movie of the past". In it's native Korea, it's popular enough to be a mascot for Korean food company Harim with their "[[https://monsterisland22.wordpress.com/2018/04/06/yongary-chicken/ Yongary chicken tenders]]", complete with chibi-Yongary and his pals Yongyongi and Yongnali as their spokesperson!

Added DiffLines:

* FanPreferredCutContent: The monsters were originally depicted using suitmation, only for the practical effects to be largely replaced with CGI in post. Fans generally consider the behind the scenes pictures of the suits and practical effects footage that made it into the film looks better than the CGI models.

Zero Context Examples. The first one reeks of complaining, the second one looks like a shoehorn.


* TheScrappy: Icho is really, really, ''really'' annoying.
* SignatureScene: Either Yongary's "Dance Scene" or his horrific death scene.

Shocking Swerve is merging into Ass Pull, and this doesn't count as that.


* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Yongary's demise is [[ShockingSwerve curiously visceral]] considering the lighthearted tone of the film up to it. The ammonia causes him to claw at his body like a [[GoingColdTurkey detoxing junkie]] for a long time, then he collapses to the ground, [[ConvulsiveSeizures seizing uncontrollably]]... and then he [[BloodFromEveryOrifice bleeds out from the rectum]]. [[NightmareFuel You know, for kids!]]

* FollowTheLeader: ''Yongary'' might be the most by-numbers Kaiju film ever made, aping the "Nuclear Weapons awaken and/or mutate a Prehistoric Monster" thing from ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' and the "Monster forms unlikely bond with small child" schtick from ''Film/{{Gamera}}''. These two trends don't cohere very well, leading to considerable MoodWhiplash.

* SpecialEffectFailure: In the scenes where Yongary is breathing fire, you can see the nozzle in his mouth.
** A Jeep that gets sliced in half by Yongary's laser has a visible fifth wheel to prop it up.

* HilariousInHindsight: The Galaxions teleporting the monsters under their control would predict a similar occurrence in Film/GodzillaFinalWars where the Xiliens used the same method to recall and unleash their monsters.

* BileFascination: If this page and the main page didn't make it obvious, most people who have seen this movie or heard of it solely take interest in how terrible it is.
* ClicheStorm: Checks off every box in the Kaiju playbook in a downright slavish fashion.



* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Checks off every box in the Kaiju playbook in a downright slavish fashion.


Added DiffLines:

* SoBadItsGood: The film is so shamelessly cliched, so poorly written, and has such low production values that its entertainment value is derived from how impressively terrible it is.

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenBase: Fans are rather split about the change in Yongary’s appearance; some prefer the old design and feel the change was unnecessary, but others like the change and think his original design was too generic.

* ValuesResonance: Professor Campbell's threats of having his excavation deported if they don’t knuckle under to the decidedly deadly work conditions can be more pointed in today’s more heated political climate regarding immigration.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Yongary starts dancing after Icho wakes him up with the "Itch-Ray". Apropos absolutely nothing. As [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Jonah & The 'Bots]] lampshade, it makes his subsequent bloody death even more jarring.

** The brief scene of civilians who decide to [[WhileRomeBurns party it up, rather than flee]] is already a bit strange. But the weirdest part is a shot of a man praying in front of a cross--while the guy behind pours beer over his head.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: We are told that Yongary isn't really evil, but earlier in the film, Yongary deliberately reached down and picked up a man, then threw him onto the ground. How is that not an act of sadism?
