History HarsherInHindsight / AtopTheFourthWall

* In his "The Next 15 Screw Ups of [=AT4W=]", Lewis calls out (although calmly) Douchey [=McNitpick=] in regards to how [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses the site]] still has good content makers despite [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic the Critic]] retiring and for saying how the site "sucks", before making a joke at the expense of Welshy. Seems all well and good until Welshy offhandly remarks how "the site is dying now, if you believe the critics. And ''those who work for the site''. And the fans." This was posted on ''December 31st, 2012'', '''six years''' before ''everyone'' left Channel Awesome due to turmoil behind the scenes and treatment of the staff at the hands of the Walker brothers and CEO Mike Michaud.

* A very minor example from ''Fantastic Four #52'', in that it was a review of a Creator/StanLee[=/=]Creator/JackKirby issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', posted just a few days before Lee's death.

** ''Before'' that review, in his "Another 15 Screw-Ups of Atop the Fourth Wall", he makes a CallBack about how he [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic killed the Bat Credit Card joke]] and after seeing the Critic still being in the corner during that that review ''months ago'', Linkara comments how when the Critic dies, he'll be the owner of [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses the site]]. Two years later, and Lewis would then leave the site due to horrible management and treatment of his co-content creators.

* As a throwaway joke in the review of ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again Part 2'', Linkara sees pixelation in the comic and complains that the comic is glitching out, speculating that a Missingno is involved. [[spoiler:Fast forward to the end of the Entity saga...]]

* In Linkara's review of [[spoiler:ComicBook/OneMoreDay]], he mentions several times how he would do anything to get the effects of said comic reversed ([[spoiler:outside of making a DealWithTheDevil]]). Later on, [[spoiler:Holokara proves true to that, and was planning to threaten to blow up Marvel Headquarters to ''force'' them to reverse One More Day]]. Even worse, [[spoiler:it's stated that the ''real'' Linkara would have eventually done the very same thing had he not been made aware of how egotistical and selfish he was becoming]].

* In his review of issue two of ''ComicBook/GodzillaKingdomOfMonsters'', Lewis has a bit where he dismisses the idea of the live-action ''Film/GhostInTheShell'' movie ever coming out. Not only did it happen, he uploaded the video onto [=YouTube=] in the wake of the massive WTHCastingAgency reaction to Creator/ScarlettJohansson being cast as the Major.
* His speech about toxic nostalgia in his ''Infinite Crisis'' review, while not directed at anyone from Channel Awesome, can feel like this in the wake of numerous complaints of abuse and incompetence regarding CA in general and the Nostalgia Critic himself, Doug Walker, that became public only a month later.

** It gets worse when there's the segment between [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Lindsey Ellis]] and Lewis about the ''Supergirl'' trade he loaned her. She responds that she'll 'return' it when they "shoot the next anniversary". While there ''was'' an anniversary special following the controversial ''To Boldly Flee'', it didn't feature most, if not all of the original members of the site, which was an unfortunate signal for fans that began to see Channel Awesome's decline in quality.

* The reason Harvey calls Linkara kid? [[spoiler: He lost his son]].
* In his review of ''One More Day'', he noted that he was cautiously optimistic about the Marvel NOW initiative because he thought it would allow the writers to interpret Peter Parker as a young adult that learns from his mistakes instead of [[ManChild an adult with a teenager's mindset]]. Marvel NOW then began with ''The Superior Spider-Man'', featuring Otto Octavius - a protagonist that not only ignores the "With Great Power ComesGreatResponsibility" creed that was the cornerstone of his predecessor's code of conduct, but one that absolutely '''refuses''' [[NeverMyFault to take responsibility for his actions]] - which is something that Peter at least tried to do, but screwed up on due to inconsistent writing.
* In his review of "The Electric Tale of Pikachu" he questions how Ghost Pokémon work, stating it is implied that regular Pokémon become them when they die, and wonders if humans become Ghost Pokémon when they die as well. He seemed to have forgotten about Yamask, which are spirits of dead humans, having become Ghost Pokemon, and one of the biggest tear-jerkers of all Pokémon. [[note]] they hold death masks that represent their once human faces, and they do nothing but mourn what they have become [[/note]] Later games introduced Phantump which is a tree stump brought to life because it's [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids possessed by the spirits of dead children]].

Lewis has since taken the hat off the shelf, disabled comments on the ''Gameboy #3'' review that was InMemoriam to Carmichal, and edited the video's description to say it no longer reflects his opinion of Carmichal and he wouldn't have done it if he knew about Carmichal's history..

Additionally, the comic features Anguirus smashing through a wall that was being built on the USA/Mexico border, which is something UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump proposed during his candidacy.

* He concludes his two-part review of ''The Rise of Arsenal'' by remarking that hopefully, DC's forthcoming (at the time) reboot will erase both ''Cry For Justice'' and this mini from continuity, resurrecting Lian Harper in the process. Later that week, DC stated that one of the changes is that Arsenal[=/=]Roy Harper will be undergoing a reduction in his age and would now be too young to have had a daughter (or at least, the Lian the readers knew) yet. This does mean that Cry For Justice and The Rise of Arsenal was erased. BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Linkara.
* His ComicBook/BlueBeetle tribute in which he praises it on its more lighthearted approach to superheroes and his shame that more [[Comicbook/TheBoys darker comics get more subscribers]] than the original runs of the series in light of the new series of ComicBook/BlueBeetle that is going with a DarkerAndEdgier approach.
