* All the special effects and costumes that appeared in the parodies of ''TheSixthSense'' and ''Batman'' but nowhere else could be explained as Donnie having no idea how to budget anything and throwing his wife's money away, then having very little left over.

* Donnie's stalker tendencies in the pilot and towards Rob Paulsen sound a bit out of character considering his past history of [[spoiler: being a child actor abused by strangers]], but we also know he made bad remakes to get {{revenge}} at Hollywood by trying to destroy things they liked. No reason why he couldn't have the same vindictiveness towards actors too.

* With TheReveal of Donnie being a [[spoiler: FormerChildStar who got shouted at in the streets]], plus the family thinking that complimenting his facial structure as a kid wouldn't creep him out, plus how he flirts with everyone and doesn't seem to remember he's married sometimes, you have to wonder what other kind of abuse happened to him. And just how long is "always" when it comes to SlashFic, especially when he had no other knowledge of fandom trends?

** As a bonus, Tacoma found out about Donnie's mother on IMBD. As that site has a reputation of being filled with cruel teenagers, can you imagine the mocking and hate she got?

* Where was the camera that was attatched to the turkey's head? It was never visible on the prop despite seeing ''turkey cam''.
** Quinn and Carl clearly aren't carrying the cameras for their POV shots either, and Tacoma speaks into the camera despite being alone with both hands full.
*** Minicams made by German Engineering?
* In the Blue Patches episode, the loss of the SD card they had ''just'' copied their movie onto is treated as though the movie itself was irretrievably lost. Shouldn't they still have the file on the computer, plus the editing file? It was definitely running off the computer earlier, the video files they were watching for the last few episodes are clearly organized on the desktop.
** Thought processes don't mix well with stress. They'll realize it after. We also never see the destroyed SD card. He couldve missed
* Why does a Swedish actor have the Anglo name of [[spoiler: Tom Collins?]]
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Because in]] Film/BeKindRewind [[ComicallyMissingThePoint they weren't actually Swedish?]]
** Swedish people don't always have Swedish names. The given name, as well, ''might'' be shortened into an Anglo form from the Swedish [[spoiler: Tomas]].

* In the first episode, Rebecca came off as a StrangeGirl ditz who was oblivious that she accidentally killed her cat. With what she said about how actresses get treated in episode four, she was very likely putting on a front for people she didn't know too well yet.

Doug outright said in his commentary that Critic = Donnie was just him and Rob being bitter about the fans and retconning to get them angry, so no basis in these examples.


* In "Wreck-It Ralph vs. Angry Birds", Donnie calls "Wreck-It Ralph" a nostalgic film, indicating Donnie doesn't know what nostalgia means. In the ''Scooby Doo'' review, Young!Critic questioned the [[spoiler: Nostalgia Critic]] whether ''he' knew what "nostalgia" meant. Thus, that may be the first sign that [[spoiler: Donnie is the Nostalgia Critic]].
* The Nostalgia Critic didnt grow up with the monster anime such as Pokemon and Digimon, and by the Digimon: The Movie review showed annoyance and hatred. In "Lost In Translation (Bromance Version)", Donnie sings the first Pokemon theme and quite enjoys doing so with Uncle Yo. When Demo Reel is revealed to be Critic's personal purgatory, it makes sense that the Plot Hole would have a memory-wiped Critic embrace what he actually hates.



* If Donnie's friends now [[spoiler: belongs to the Plot Hole,]] does that mean that they have to work for [[spoiler: Douchy Mc Nitpick]] now?
** Jossed; WordOfGod is that they [[spoiler: just don't exist anymore at all.]]
* Critic was clearly a fan of ''{{Animaniacs}}'', even organizing a reunion of several crew members. In "Demo Reel Annoys Rob Paulsen", Donnie confused "Nations of the World" with the desired "Wakko's America", a mistake Critic NEVER would've made. This means that in creating Donnie, even Critic's memories of his favorite things were messed with, not just identity memories.

*** So, in short, that whole mood was pointless.

** And when Rebecca's “Uncle Frank” first comes up, he and Tacoma clearly know what it means, but while Tacoma starts fretting over her at this point, he shrugs it off like it's nothing.

No he didnt. This was an inner battle. The Nostalgia Critic was just a projection of his thoughts, There were hints that deep down that he was gonna type it anyway. From DKBR to TRMGO it\'s all one Demo Reel arc. Thus it\'s fridge stuff

That kinda thing belongs under Hilarious In Hindsight (if you find it funny). Even in-universe, Donnie = Critic only happened because Critic told Doug to find a way to kill the show.
