History WesternAnimation / GodzillaTheSeries

* ProductPlacement: In the first episode, Randy is seen playing on a UsefulNotes/PlayStation.

** Granted, it's a kids' show, but if Godzilla's atomic breath is as deathly radioactive as in the Japanese films, ''no one would live''. One example is when Craven picks up a recently toasted NIGEL after the Big G fried him for disturbing his sleep in "Vision." You'd think he'd be sick a few moments later from it. Granted, radiation poisoning isn't instantaneous since it could take days or years to occur, but Craven's allergies would not be good even around as something as big and radioactive as Godzilla and other monsters.

In the first episode, the last egg that Godzilla laid [[note]]Seen hatching at the end of said movie[[/note]] is found, it hatches and imprints on TheHero from the movie, Dr. Nick Tatopoulos. Naturally, he subsequently forms HEAT (the '''H'''umanitarian '''E'''nvironmental '''A'''nalysis '''T'''eam) with four other humans, Drs. [[DeadpanSnarker Elsie Chapman]] and [[TheSmartGuy Mendel Craven]] (both from the movie, as well), as well as [[PlayfulHacker Randy Hernandez]] and [[ActionGirl Monique Dupre]]. With Godzilla Junior loyal to Nick, they defend the world from various {{Kaiju}} that have abruptly sprung up, crazy and/or sinister humans and, eventually, invading psychic aliens (naturally).

** In "Bird of Paradise," Elsie's ex-fiancé is named Lawrence Cohen. Creator/LarryCohen wrote and directed ''Film/QTheWingedSerpent''. Both the film and the episode feature the Aztec god Quetzlcoatl - nicknamed "Q" - as an antagonist, and the episode based the monster design on the one in the film.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Mendel's originally a short-haired brunette in the film. Here, he's a blonde with a ponytail.

%%* {{Irony}}: "What would ''Gojira'' be doing in Japan?"
%%** Which also doubles as a MythologyGag.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: All over the place. Many of the kaiju that are killed are given rather nasty demises. The most notable are probably the Chameleon's death, which is TakenForGranite and crumbles to dust, [[spoiler: Cyber-Zilla]] getting disemboweled ''on-screen'', and the multiple times Godzilla finishes off an enemy by '''burning them alive'''.

* AdaptationInducedPlothole: In the series, Nick is from New York, and has his own private property in Staten Island, and Randy was his assistant for 14 months. The film however does not imply that Nick lives in New York or a native, because he conducting radiation effects on earthworms in Chernobyl, and the military higherups remove him from their operations (therefore ''leaving'' New York). There was no indication that Nick even knows someone, let alone an assistant, that could have helped find Godzilla's father faster to prevent casualties that ensued in the film.
