* After five years, the Contest of Champions is finally over! And it ends with probably the oddest way possible - a ''Franchise/YuGiOh''-style card game between Linkara and Bandit Chief. However, Bandit Chief seems to have Linkara on the ropes before Linksano comes to his rescue, revealing that the incident from the Longbox of the Damned 2021 was actually part of the Bandit Chief's plot to gain intelligence on Linkara, thus breaking the rules!
** The Bandit Chief isn't done, though - when his deceit is revealed, he ends up having his men invade the stadium (who are all clones). However, he ''greatly'' underestimates the beings hosting this and they easily get rid of the invasion.
** Despite this victory, Linkara isn't satisfied and tells them, under no uncertain terms that he wants to beat Bandit Chief in an amazing TakeThatMe over the storyline's infamous TroubledProduction:

* His ''utter slam'' of the ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' miniseries without going into immense political depth and even stating his reasoning as to ''why'' he will never review the series.

* You remember how Linkara was mad over how flippant Rob Liefeld was with Chapel's revelation that he had been infected with the AIDS virus and casually blowing his brains out way back in ''Youngblood'' #10? He's just as angry when he reveals in ''Youngblood Strikefiles'' #3 that the AIDS virus was created by the US Government as a means of ''population control''. Unlike using the mysterious Tuskunga Event to create a story, Liefeld decided to use a real pandemic that killed real people and points out the ''Chew'' Poyo Character Focus review was in better taste than this. He also takes a potshot at a blog (apparently ''the only one on the entire Internet talking about this issue'') for casually dismissing that plot point. Conversely, he ''does'' praise Diehard's CharacterDevelopment moment where he looks at the deactivated Superpatriot and worries he might be like him, too, but Linkara makes it ''quite clear'' that compared to the rest of the issue, it's bupkis.

* In his review of ''Film/ManOfSteel'', Linkara calls out the portrayal of Jonathan Kent in the film, turning him from the man who would help guide Clark's evolution into the hero he would become into a panicked and angry man who is more concerned about how people would treat him and even allows himself to die rather than Clark use his powers to save him. He points out that the movie desperately wants Clark to become Superman, but the narrative beats him over the head with the backwards thinking.
** Speaking of Jonathan's death, while Linkara prefers a healthy Jonathan that Clark can bounce off of, he realizes that Jonathan's death, preferably of a heart attack, is sometimes needed to show that Superman just can't save everyone. Linkara points out that Clark could have saved Jonathan ''without his powers'' from the tornado and that his death here just made Jonathan even more of a paranoid man scared of people learning of Clark's powers.

* Linkara manages to make the infamous [[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack "Bees. My god."]] line sound badass after fending off Mechakara with a prototype "deadly bee weapon".
* The Cinema Snob managing to [[BrainBleach gross-out]] a robot long enough for Comicron 1 and the scout ship to flank them. It's just so insane it actually becomes rather hilariously awesome.
-->"What is the meaning of this?!"
-->"What? Isn't it obvious by now? [[WhamLine I've been distracting you this whole time.]]"
* From the finale: Right before Linkara and the others blast the crap out of Mechakara, who threatens to "[[ToThePain paint [the] walls with [their] blood]]"... Four words:
-->'''Linkara:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Yeah?]] [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] [[ShoutOut you,]] [[Film/TheThing1982 too.]]
* After the group opens fire on Mechakara the first time, it seems to be over. Lupa notes that someone should check to see if he’s really dead. That’s when Nash proves to be one of the [[OnlySaneMan more sensible ones]] by making a very valid point.
-->'''Nash:''' Why would we do that? We have ''guns''. ''SHOOT HIM!''
* [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] going toe-to-toe with Mechakara. True, it backfired when Mechakara rendered him unconscious for most of the fight, but the fact that he was willing to get up close and personal is worthy of respect. The sight of him [[DodgeTheBullet dodging Mechakara’s lasers]] whilst responding with his own lightning as he manoeuvred closer doesn’t hurt, either.
* Linkara pulls off a successful "I AM A MAN!" punch against Mechakara. More specifically, he ''[[OffWithHisHead punches Mechakara's head right off his body]]''!
* The movie's ending is also one. Where Linkara, after finding out that he indeed has a purpose to his life and a reason as to why he wants to live, sits down in his chair and proudly says the opening line to his show, followed by the Ballad of Linkara. Quite honestly the best (and only proper) way to end this movie.

* When discussing the ''Sandman'' story "Three Septembers and a January", Linkara takes a moment to describe the life of Emperor Joshua Norton I and how he is a reminder that the power of emperors and kings only exists because their people allow it. Emperor Norton had no royal blood, no legitimate claim to any throne, and no political power, but he was beloved and respected by the people, and never abused it in any way.

Also a big criticism he had of the book; aside from Thorin, [[TheLoad none of the dwarfs had any purpose in the story]]. They didn't even [[FlatCharacter have any personality]], so even if the movie adds in things that weren't in the book, it's making the dwarfs into actual characters.

No meta moment, see this query.


* In his review of ''Sinnamon #1'', he certainly gets an awesome moment on a meta-sense, where he discusses how his review of Sinnamon #11 was so far back that the show was undergoing EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, and how, in spite of also reviewing absolute horrors of comic books (''ComicBook/{{Marville}}'', ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice'', ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'', Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/HolyTerror'', etc.), he still stands by how ''Sinnamon #11'' was as bad as when he first reviewed it.
** In another sense, Linkara was also awesome at calling out the blatant sexism within the story, what with every other character outside of Sinnamon either [[UnfortunateImplications making lecherous comments about her]], or [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil flat-out trying to rape her]] (granted, the only two times it happened, Sinnamon gives both of the would-be rapists a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, but still). Special mention goes to when the villain of the comic, Infama, [[GirlOnGirlIsHot starts making out with an unconscious Sinnamon]], and Linkara openly '''defies''' the DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale trope to call Infama out, ''especially'' when Infama herself starts to make InsaneTrollLogic arguments on why Sinnamon was now clobbering her for "[[BlatantLies showing a little affection instead of the usual mindless violence]]".
--->'''Linkara:''' [[CaptainObvious So I'm assuming the name]] "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Infama]]" [[ShapedLikeItself comes from the word "Infamous"]]. ''({{beat}})'' Yeah, I'd believe it, since I'm sure you're a '''registered sex offender, ''lady'''''.\\
'''Infama:''' ''(after cushioning her blow with a giant pillow she Franchise/{{Green Lantern}}ed up)'' Some people are just ''waaaay'' too uptight!\\
'''Linkara:''' And some people should be smothered by that giant pillow you created. ''[[SarcasmMode Guess which category YOU fall into, Infama!]]''

* The Mechakara fight at the end of "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers #1" could be a real-world crowner for Lewis, utilizing ''[[DoubleVision Triple]]'' [[DoubleVision Vision]] as well as some other, truly epic special effects, and managing to make convincing scenes where he technically ''beats up himself''. Quite an achievement by WebOriginal standards.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8GH_zacKZ0 Harvey Finevoice singing]] at the end of the ''Literature/AnitaBlake'' review, reminding everyone why his voice is classified as 'million-dollar pipes.'
** Also a crowning moment for Lewis Lovhaug, for having the talent not only to sing that well, but to ''sing that well while maintaining a semblance of an affected accent''.
** And this is after Linkara does an entire review in the Harvey Finevoice persona. The next week, he does an entire review as [[TheNineties '90s Kid]].
* Let's not overlook how Lewis was able to talk his girlfriend into wrapping her face in gauze and stumbling around in a nurse's outfit for thousands of people to see in the "Dead/Alive" finale.
* He's been nominated for Most Inspiring Geek on the Shorty Awards on Twitter!
** For "Power Rangers Zeo #1", Linkara actually got [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Ron Wasserman himself]] to make the music for the main fight!
* [[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2011/01/atop-fourth-wall-storyline.html The blog post]] near the end of the Vyce arc, compiling all the videos that have contributed to his story arcs. Even if not all of them were planned at the time, it's still an incredible display of the intricacy of Linkara's writing, and his determination to make his show more than just a regular review series.
* At [=MAGFest=] 2011, Linkara attends WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd panel. He introduces himself as [[CallBack "the comic book reviewer [he] punched two years ago"]], then proceeds to ask if the [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Megazord]] could defeat [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Mechagodzilla]]. James then tells him "That's bullshit!"
** Gets even funnier with the Deadliest Character video on WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment, where Linkara supports Megazord and James Rolfe (uncredited) supports Mechagodzilla. Turns out, Megazord ''does'' win (by cheating).
*** Not to mention Linkara making the Megazord sound badass by mentioning that it defeated almost every monster Rita and Zedd throw at it, while Mechagodzilla couldn't even beat [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} one.]]
* The spot-on April Fools Day parody of WebVideo/TheIrateGamer, particularly going above and beyond the usual pranks by announcing on Twitter the day before that he was thinking of taking on a new style.
* His ''Godyssey #1'' review, which features a bizarre take on Christianity, a Franchise/MortalKombat joke, and the character of Avengelyne, was released on Easter Monday, one week after ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' was released, and on the same day a new Avengelyne comic was announced. ''None'' of those were intentionally planned!
* In the Gameboy #1 review, the theme song is done in 8-bit style.
* Just that fact that Lewis essentially made the Entity out to be [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} a certain glitch Pokemon]] is just awesome in a scary way.
** The ChekhovsGun from last week's review 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.
** The episode really deserves kudos for its editing alone, with all the split second distortions of the Entity being such a complex job that Lewis missed his usual update time for the first time in three years.
* [[http://dw-cosplay.livejournal.com/1073185.html Cosplaying]] as the [[Series/DoctorWho Seventh Doctor]] (the one he first saw as a kid) for his second live show.
* The revised version of the Electric Tale of Pikachu review has Linkara and Missingno., who is currently in 90's Kid's form not just in the same shot, but Linkara actually walks ''around'' him seamlessly as he taunts him. It stands out as probably the most complex and striking visual effect in the entire history of the show.
** Bonus awesome moment for WebVideo/{{Phelous}} for completing the effect in ''one day'' when Linkara had been working on it for some time.
* At the 2012 [=MAGfest=], he topped just cosplaying as the Seventh Doctor by doing it ''while driving a Delorean''.
* Reading Linkara's account of how the ''Southland Tales'' review was made, it's nothing short of a miracle that it turned out as good as it did: everyone had just a few notes to work off, there wasn't time to get the people he wanted to talk about certain things, and the whole filming was a rush to get as much as he could with everyone in what little spare time they had.
* At a con, Linkara drunkenly rants about Booster Gold's CharacterDerailment in ''JLA: Act of God'', before realizing the person he's talking to may not have any idea what he's talking about. The camera pulls back to reveal Dan Jurgens, the creator of Booster Gold.
* For the ''Film/{{Star Trek IV|The Voyage Home}}'' review, he actually managed to get a replica of Kirk's unusual outfit from the movie.
* Episode #200: ComicBook/OneMoreDay.
** Getting a cameo from Website/{{SF Debris}}.
** For the ending, Vincent EL wrote an entire new song titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdXtMPkHnqI The Ballad of Linkara]]. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic And it is EPIC]]!
* Linkara managing to release an episode of Longbox of the Damned ''every day'' of October, each episode averaging about 5 minutes long, ''and still'' putting out his usual Atop the Fourth Wall schedule at the same time.
** During the 300th episode livestream, we learn that just what making Longbox of the Damned entails: lots of make-up for Moarte, filming multiple episodes at once and the fact that the Moarte voice makes Linkara lose his voice for a while afterwards.
* In his Treehouse of Horror #2 review, his Dr. Nick voice is surprisingly close to the real deal. [[ManOfAThousandVoices His range of voices]] is getting better.
* The massive dose of nostalgia the viewer experiences when seeing the very first intro in the ''Archie Giant Series Magazine #452'' review, likely for the first time in years.
** As well as the other {{Retraux}} imitations of his early reviews.
* In general for the Youngblood #5 and Star Wars 3D #1 episodes, the return of Noah and his characters in an WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall work for the first time since leaving TGWTG. Inevitable, but still awesome.
** Linkara's rant at all the people who have told him Rob Liefeld is actually a really nice guy who loves comics just as much as him, saying he still can't write or draw, and deserves to be criticized for that.
* Finishing the final "March of the Titans" video a day early, despite it being longer than usual, when he's made it clear before how hard it can be to keep to his weekly schedule. He was just that passionate about this one.
* The fact that he was able to condense 50 issues of a comic into two summaries and keep each one under an hour.
** How about the fact he did this ''twice''? He did once with ''ComicBook/{{Countdown|ToFinalCrisis}}'' and again with ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The Titans]]''. Those videos must have taken a lot of work and Linkara definitely deserves kudos for that.
** And for ROM Spaceknight. Part One: 46:09. Part 2: 55:51. Good job dude.
* Doing an amazing [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Cinema Snob]] impersonation for his 2013 April Fools video.
** He even goes beyond that to do some surprisingly good impressions of Brad Jones' ''other'' characters.
* The very subtle way he changed his voice from Donald Blake to Thor during his Journey into Mystery #83 review. Yet even more evidence of his growing voice acting skills.
* Lewis has completed the pokedex!
* Lewis is [[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2014/04/at4w-movie-im-working-on-it.html making an Atop The Fourth Wall film.]]
* Inspiring a pair of fans at [=ConBravo=] to cosplay as Tomboy and the original Daredevil, as noted at the beginning of ''Ressurection of [=AT4W=] Live''.
* Got to hand it to Lewis as a filmmaker, it's not everyone who can make a bunch of cheap cardboard Cybermats into such a terrifying sight. It's also a great showcase of the various designs he's collected.
* His Gollum impression while reviewing the comic adaptation of ''The Hobbit''. At times you'd swear he actually got Andy Serkis to do it.
** His Smaug voice. Probably knowing that any attempt to directly imitate Benedict Cumberbatch would be doomed to failure, he instead creates his own harsh, snarling voice that works very well in its own right.
* The new version of the theme song for Christmas 2015, premiering in the second half of the ''Zombies Christmas Carol'' review.
* The Sleepwalker storyline shows the massive improvement with special effects, and not just the CG sequences for the spaceships. Case in point: The Entity's static eyes. Originally static blobs superimposed over Lewis's eyeballs, the effect has since improved to being a more clean fit on his eyes, and this time, having glowing auras to accompany it. Not to mention, the effect would disappear while the original Entity was glitching while in the throes of confusion, including its death scene. Here, it remains more consistently placed. Finally, he's able to make the static effect appear cleanly as soon as both he and S.S. Lee remove their glasses to show their possession.
* His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgU3MBShRNY&t=0s Power Rangers (2017) "Review"]] Why? Because in addition to actually being a postmortem on DC's New 52 and why it failed, it's a spot on tribute to the WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}. Not only is there a recreation of Jim's set, Linkara is seen wearing a pitch perfect Jim Sterling style outfit, ''and'' it even has its own variation of the Jimquistion's intro/outro!
** Even better? ''[[ApprovalOfGod Jim themself]]'' commented on the video.
--->Not fat enough 7/10.
* [[https://www.watchmojo.com/blog/2018/04/10/interview-with-lewis-lovhaug Linkara got an interview on the famed top 10 site Watch Mojo to look to the future.]]
* [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/984296737132163072 Lewis's response to Channel Awesome's refuting of the #ChangeTheChannel doc.]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He even swears during the response.]]
--> "[[TranquilFury So that's the response, eh?]] [[LetsGetDangerous Here's mine.]]"
** What makes Linkara's involvement in the #[=ChangeTheChannel=] movement more awesome is that throughout all the stories involving Channel Awesome and its mismanagement, where a lot of producers along with the management are put under blast, Linkara is one of the few to have no bad stories involving him whatsoever; indeed, many of the younger producers go out of their way to say that while management may have mistreated them or kept them out of the loop, Linkara was always ready, willing, and eager to give them help and keep them informed whenever asked. To quote [=ERod=], WebVideo/TheBlockbusterBuster:
--->'''[=ERod=]:''' "And anytime I would go on Skype and ask, any trouble that I had, any issues that I was having with Channel Awesome, the first and for the most part, the only person who would answer would always be Linkara. Now, Linkara is not part of the administration of Channel Awesome. It's very important that you understand that. So a guy that doesn't know me, who gains nothing from taking time out of his busy schedule to help me out continuously was the guy who worked as the ambassador to Channel Awesome to me. Constantly helping me out, answering my questions, steering me in the right direction, that sort of thing. And that was a constant throughout my time in Channel Awesome. The only reason I was a part of the That Guy With The Glasses or Channel Awesome holiday video was because Linkara was in charge of it, and he made sure that I was informed and if I wanted to participate. It is no accident that Linkara was the first person that I crossed over with. Like I said, he was very dependable, always answering my emails, my messages immediately. He was the first person I gained the phone number of, so that was a constant."
* Due to illness, Lewis's voice was rough when the five hundredth episode was to be filmed, and he refused to allow anything less than his best for such a pivotal moment, so he delayed the episode's release. However, because he knew this would disappoint his fans, the night before it was supposed to be posted, he performed a 9 and a half hour live stream celebration, with audience Q&A, showing old episodes, trivia provided by the Game Show reviewer, Jackbox games, and commentary on The Movie with some of his co-stars. He finished it with FINALLY beating the elite four in his Pokemon Omicron let's play. THAT is dedication, both to his fans, and to his show.
* According to the comments, [[TheReveal Mechakara's reveal]] at the end of "Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9deKqYAhfU&lc=Ugx2NH87_ojVFsMPoT54AaABAg shows that Lewis managed to greatly improve as an actor over the past decade.]]
* Linkara's making an [[AudioPlay/AVoiceFromTheDark audio drama]]! With thirty actors! Including [[WebVideo/TheBlockbusterBuster Erod]], WebVideo/DiamandaHagan, [[WebVideo/TheDomReviews Dominic Noble]], WebVideo/{{Rocked}}, and lots of other people! It's a horror-comedy story in a haunted house, and it's being heralded as the new huge crossover event in lieu of the tenth anniversary movie.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxCy3y2-ZD2Em9C-8pG3IDvpliemt_FmU The entirety]] of the ''WebVideo/WinterOf83'' AnalogHorror mini-series is this, demonstrating a masterful use of public domain footage, editing, and voicework by Lewis and his friends to convert footage of a real life winter into a [[{{Pun}} bone-chilling]] storyline. It's even more awesome given that it was an [[AprilFoolsDay April Fools' joke]], yet Lewis and his team were dedicated enough to create a legitimate story to be enjoyed.
* The review of ''Transformers: Deviations'' saw the introduction of a brand new intro, similar to the ones Linkara uses when he reviews ''Star Trek'' comics. Where the ''Trek'' intro was a melodeic piece with shots of ''Comicron-1'' flying around in space, the ''Transformers'' type is a bombastic 3D action intro with Linkara (portrayed like the Soldier from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'') piloting his own Autobot and aiding Optimus Prime and the others against Megatron and the Decepticons, all to an amazing remix of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' theme song that mixes in the theme of ''Atop the Fourth Wall''.
** The animation makes it better as we get glimpses of several battles. Linkara and his unnamed Autobot squaring off against [[TheDragon Soundwave.]] [[VillainTeamUp Lord Vyce and a giant Mechakara teaming up with the Decepticons]] and fighting [[TheHero Optimus,]] who punches out Mechakara.

* Setting ''Superman: At Earth's End'' [[KillItWithFire on fire]]. {{Subverted|Trope}} as that was merely a fake copy of the book. DoubleSubverted a while later, when he ''actually'' burnt it.
