YMMV / Godzilla Neo

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The ending to ''Godzilla Neo Series 2'' and might act as Super Godzilla's Character Theme Song.
  • Broken Base: Operation: Destroy All Monsters. Some find it an epic, tragic arc, while others dislike it for anti-climatically killing off most of the kaiju cast with little to no fan fair, feeling it's a disrespectful send off to the characters.
  • Complete Monster:
    • Space Godzilla was initially a massive meteorite of crystallized energy capable of emitting psionic energy. After destroying a NASA space shuttle, Space Godzilla crash landed on Infant Island and kidnapped Junior, Godzilla's adopted son. Turning the city of Fukuoka into his new crystal fortress, Space Godzilla used some of Junior's DNA to form a new body for himself and eagerly awaited his upcoming fight against Godzilla and MOGUERA. He nearly killed Godzilla while he was reuniting with his son and once his powers started going out of control, he destroyed MOGUERA and summoned a black hole to destroy the world simply out of spite. After being banished to another realm by Godzilla, Space Godzilla spent the next thirteen years honing his powers and planning his escape. Implied to be responsible for the Crystal Incursion of 2007, Space Godzilla hoped to finally defeat Godzilla and absorb all the Power Crystals on Earth, which would turn him into the most powerful being in the galaxy.
    • High Inquisitor Axor was an advisor to the Empress of Mu and used his powers of mind control to achieve higher standing in society. Longing for control over the Mu Empire, Axor used his powers to enslave Balkzardan and Jyarumu and threatened to unleash them upon Mu if the people did not accept him as their new emperor. When Manda tried to protect Mu, Axor ordered the many people he had previously used his powers on to take up arms and rise against their protector. After the Empress ordered her loyal advisor Shisa to leave with Manda and find reinforcements, she was taken prisoner and tortured by Axor, who was hoping to break the Empress's spirit and turn her into his new slave. Shisa returned with Mothra and the armies of Infant Island and challenged Axor to a duel, losing due to Axor's cowardly tactics. Axor was stabbed by the Empress and in order to ensure his victory, transferred his soul into a statue of a dark god and used his new powers to enslave Manda. Axor was finally defeated thanks to the combined efforts of Mothra and King Caesar, but he had secretly planted explosives that were set to detonate in the event of his death, ensuring that his homeland would be completely destroyed along with him.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In The Bridge, there was a another Godzilla based on the one from Godzilla (2014). Word of God states that this Godzilla or Gojira and the main Godzilla have no relation at all. Then came Matt Frank's new art depicting the Legendary Godzilla but this time, he is related to Godzilla as a super ancestor of sorts.
  • Magnificent Bastard: King Ghidorah is an ancient space monster created by the Garoga to help perpetuate their The Social Darwinist ideology by wiping whole planets clean of life. After being defeated twice by Earth's guardians, he plotted for decades to get more power. Discovering a powerful young psychic, Ghidorah mentally influenced and manipulated him for decades, eventually leading the boy to ally with the alien Kilaaks, turn himself into a human-Ghidorah hybrid called Monster X, and invade Earth. Killing Monster X to take his power, Ghidorah turned into his Super Mode Kaiser Ghidorah, requiring a Heroic Sacrifice from Zilla and a Desperation Attack that seemingly killed Godzilla to be taken down. Capitalizing on the greed and fear of the Earth Union leaders, the nearly dead King Ghidorah still manages to hijack their plans to rebuild him as Mecha-King Ghidorah, killing nearly all the heroic kaiju under the guise of protecting humanity before fleeing into space with his pilot Emi Kano. Returning to Earth when Godzilla was reborn as Super Godzilla, King Ghidorah learned he had been replaced with the monster Bagan by the Garoga. Realizing that he will never be able to destroy the Earth however hard he tries, he joined the fray to aid Godzilla, weakening and restraining Bagan long enough for Godzilla to kill them both, but not before ejecting Emi so she would survive. Defined by calculating intellect and limitless patience as much as sheer strength, King Ghidorah stands as the greatest of Godzilla's rogues gallery.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: For some, Operation: Destroy All Monsters is this, given more or less the entire Kaiju cast gets slaughtered, many in Curbstomp Battles that to them don't feel like good or respectful send offs to the characters.
  • Unexpected Character: A shocking revelation it was when Matt Frank announced that he would be redesigning Bagan and Super Godzilla. Next after that, Matt has finished drawing Neo versions of Legendary Godzilla and Shin Godzilla and will be soon drawing ...Godzilla Earth.
