Monster Force (animation)/YMMV


 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The "Dark City" episode definitely qualifies.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Dracula, a vicious but elegant pastiche of his Universal incarnation, stands as the Monster Force's most formidable adversary. He constantly executes schemes to net himself more power at any cost, usually running rings around the Monster Force until it's almost too late to stop him, always operating with sadistic charm and rebounding from every defeat. Dracula makes pawns of his other vampire cohorts in a scheme meant to steal their energy so he can become a god, outsmarts Dr. Crawley in the guise of vampire hunter Bram Stoker and nearly drives him to despair, and even mounts a successful invasion of Monster Force's own base in the finale through guile.
 * Needs More Love: Not very well recognized among cartoon viewers (the fact that it was syndicated being a factor) but is actually quite good when given the chance.
 * It doesn't help that (as I recall) it was aired first thing in the morning.
 * Recycled Premise: Just like in the '32 movie, Hotep sees in Shelley a woman he knew in Ancient Egypt and tries to reincarnate her in Shelley's body..
 * Straw Man Has a Point: In the episode with the Creature from the Black Lagoon, a scientist asks Monster Force to recover a data disk from a boat his assistants were piloting that sank. One of them asks if he wants them to look for his assistants while they're at it, like he's a huge jerk for not thinking of their survival too. But if they've been down there for two days like the scientist says, there probably isn't much even Monster Force can do for them (the assistants are never found).
