Yeah, adding that shark? fish? Kaiju along with Slattern really didn't help. Spoiler alert, there's a part where one of the Jaegers cut one of the Kaiju in half, down the middle and I thought it was Slattern that was killed. And spent the rest of my first viewing being surprised that the other underwater-Kaiju was the final Kaiju.
In regards to the Kaiju being samey, I can certainly understand that. Yes, they all had different shapes. One was the Knifehead, one was the gorilla, one was generic until it spread its wings and I honestly can't remember any other than the water ones (including Slattern). But they had looked the same despite their distinctive silhouettes.
It's like having the Gorilla, Mantis, Standard Warrior and Dog Xenomorphs, but making all the same color. Or a line up of cars that all have Or dare I say, a bunch of Gundams like the original RX-78, the Barbatos and the Double O. And then mostly showing them off in night scenes.
Another example would be the Michael Bay Transformers, especially the Decepticons. Who tend to be these grey, vaguely humanoid shapes of jagged metal. They have really different designs and silhouettes, but still blend in together.
They all have very different shapes, but between the similar colors and the same design queues, the human brain just sort of lumps them together.
Intellectually, we can discern the different Kaiju, but on a gut level, I would classify them as samey, yeah. Maybe if they had more obvious gimmicks or defined personalities, they wouldn't be so samey.
