Line 33:
** We see even more of Lord Vyce, a [[Awesome Moments|CMoA]] all in its own, but we have him plotting Linkara's downfall alongside none other than Mechakara himself!
* Dr. Linksano kind of gets one, when he launches into his speech about Lord Vyce, he comes off as legitimately menacing.
* His [[What the Hell, Hero?]] to Superman for insulting Big Barda's makeup, after she was held captive for two days and possibly raped.
* It requires a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] but after googling the ''Neutro'' comic, one learned it never went beyond the one issue Linkara reviewed. This means that, indirectly and more than likely unintentionally, the end of the ''Neutro'' review provided some closure to the original story.
** Though that does make the Neutro story a [[Shaggy Dog Story]]; the whole cast died, accomplishing nothing regarding the robot, which was destroyed in seconds the one time someone put it to use.
Line 39:
* The ending of ''Batman: Fortunate Son''.
* The completely-justified speech at the end of the second part of his [[Countdown to Final Crisis]] review.
{{quote| '''Linkara:''' So after all this, after [[Archive Binge|fifty-one issues]] of [[Countdown to Final Crisis]], [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like|what is there left to say?]] Only this: [[Countdown to Final Crisis]] blows. It reeks. It fails. It is heinous. It is [[Kill
* How about the entire Mechakara saga? The way he's been able to thread an ongoing story through his reviews without distracting from the reviews themselves at all, and building up genuine momentum and suspense along the way, has really changed the possibilities of what Internet review series can do.
** Just seeing {{spoiler|Harvey Finevoice firing away with a Tommy Gun while grinning and [[Smoking Is Cool|smoking]] like a badass}} in the 2010 -trailer totally justifies that sentiment.
Line 78:
*** All Lewis says is 'move' and Doug jumps seats immediately, looking scared. Now that's bad ass.
* The last third of the ''New Kids on the Block'' #4 review, done entirely in rhyme even when it stops being applicable.
* His [[What the Hell, Hero?]] to Uatu over the [[Esoteric Happy Ending]] of his teamup with Spider-Man.
* His wailing on [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|Douchey McNitpick]] for his commentary during his Top 15 Screw Ups of Atop the Fourth Wall.
** Heck it was even awesomer at the beginning: Rather than get pissed at Douchey, Linkara turns his [[Insane Troll Logic]] back at him and actually manages to confuse Douchey enough to shut him up.
Line 142:
* Linkara finally deducing the Entity's true form, name and who it is, just by 90's Kid saying "Heavy".
** And on a meta note, just that fact that Lewis essentially made {{spoiler|the Entity out to be [[Pokémon (Franchise)|a certain glitch Pokemon]]}} is just awesome [[Nightmare Fuel|in a scary way]].
** The [[Big "Shut Up!"]] to '90s Kid.
*** Which leads to the audience thinking [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]] when {{spoiler|it's revealed that "the '90s Kid'' is actually [[Pokémon (Franchise)|MissingNo]]}}
* After the epic battle climaxes of the three previous storylines, {{spoiler|Linkara actually manages to make [[Talking the Monster To Death]] seem just as awesome for the Entity finale.}}
** Made more awesome by the [[Chekhov's Gun]] from last week's review {{spoiler|the plan to make the giant symbiote monster self-destruct from a mental breakdown was good, but could've been better executed. Which he then demonstrates.}}
Line 174:
* The opening of "Mr. T #2," where we actually get to see {{spoiler|several of the TGWTG cover artists, plus the guy who wrote the show's theme song.}}
* Ninja Style Dancer catching a shuriken right in front of his face, and driving off the Plaid Ninja with Cybermats.
* Immediately bringing up the clip he knew everyone would point to after he said it isn't right for Autobots to kill a surrendering enemy, and explaining how the two situations aren't compatible[[hottip:*: For the record, it's a moment in ''Transformers: Generation 2 #1'' where an Autobot kills a surrendering Decepticon mook in cold blood, being compared to the classic scene from the 1986 Transformeres movie where Optimus Prime sees right through Megatron's attempt to [[I Surrender, Suckers|supposedly surrender.]].
* His exceptionally well-researched argument for why the absurdly simplistic solution to high taxes put forth in ''Captatin Tax Time'' wouldn't work.
* "Superman #701" sees him give a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] to the Man of Steel even more furious than the last one, when he decides he's done enough by pushing a street gang into another neighborhood, and even sends a little kid to tell the extremely pissed off gang to go away.
* His response to a quite mean-spirited anti-cop joke in "Marville #2," a [[Tranquil Fury]] reminder of how many cops are killed in the line of duty, then telling the writer to go to hell.
* The Magic Gun responding to Linkara starting to go a bit [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S4 E16 The Waters of Mars|Time Lord Victorious]] by ''turning herself off''.
