* FollowTheLeader: The series is extremely similar in style to the reviews of WebSite/SFDebris. Linkara definitely knows about his existence, due to the fact that he asked for permission for the use of "Under Pressure" in a similar way that WebSite/SFDebris did in his review of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''[='=]s finale for the finale of ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]''. He's also been known to point people toward WebSite/SFDebris' "''Series/DoctorWho''" video if they have questions about where to start watching.

** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' did not almost end the franchise. Ratings were down since the third season of ''Mighty Morphin'', ''Power Rangers in Space'' was being planned before the second half (where the ratings started to go up for the first time since the decline in season 3) even began filming. The updated review removed this line.
** In his ''Megaforce'' video, he claims that the pre-''Power Rangers'' suits used in the ''Gokaiger'' footage that was used in the episode "The Wrath" were from the first five Super Sentai series. While [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan VulEagle]] (the only one to be replaced in that scene) was from the fifth ''Super Sentai'' series, the rest of them[[note]][[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Blue Mask]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Green Flash]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Griffon]], and [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman FiveYellow]], if you are curious[[/note]] were from later series[[note]]the actual reasoning behind the choice of suits in ''Gokaiger'' was that they were the five teams whose Ultimate Powers had been stolen by Basco ta Jolokia earlier in the series[[/note]]. ''Super Sentai'' fans were not happy with this mistake. [[note]]After he had to reupload Part 5 due to copyright issues, he proceeded to put some text that corrected this mistake.[[/note]]
*** He also stated that Octaroo (rather his counterpart Shitari) appeared in the ''Shinkenger'' tribute episode. That's inaccurate. The Gokaigers had a cameo in the ''Goseiger vs. Shinkenger'' movie (a common tradition to introduce the next team in the team-up movie) where they show off their powers by killing Shitari. The main series [[ArcWelding welded]] in this cameo by revealing that they traveled back in time thanks to [[Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger Time Yellow]].
** In the revised version of the ''Turbo'' review, Linkara questions why Saban couldn't just skip ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' and just adapt one of the pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons, pointing to ''[[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Jetman]]'' as a possible candidate. The deal Saban, now Hasbro, has with Toei states that they cannot skip a ''Sentai'' season ([[Series/ResshaSentaiToqger save for one]]) regardless of what that season contains. The reason why Saban/Hasbro can't adapt pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons is because the agreement was for ''Zyuranger'' onward, and even if the deal ''had'' allowed them to use a prior Sentai, they would've still had to use ''Carranger'' footage at some point if they wanted to move onto ''Megaranger'' footage[[note]]That being said, he still does have a point, as Saban did still have unused footage of the core 5 from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''; while this would likely still have required them to adapt the Carranger mecha, as the ''Dairanger'' mecha had been used for the Thunderzords...which were destroyed, the sillier scenes on the ground from ''Carranger'' could have been replaced with ''Dairanger'' footage and spliced in with ''Ohranger'' and ''Carranger'' footage similar to ''Mighty Morphin'', since Saban was allowed to adapt ''Kakuranger'', despite the fact that the core 5 suits from ''Dairanger'' were not used, and ''Dairanger'', ''Ohranger'', and ''Carranger'' all featured the same color set for the core 5[[/note]].
** Linkara's "disregard" of Sentai often catches up to him, missing the wider context of the footage used. In ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce'', the team morphs into the core ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers MMPR]]'' costumes, but gets their asses kicked by the monster of the week. Linkara calls it an embarrassment to the original team, but it was direct footage of ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' -- which wasn't supposed to be celebrating the anniversary of ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' or MMPR anyway -- meaning it was just another Gokai Change. [[note]]Granted you could argue Linkara's point in that the US production team were aware Super Megaforce was a celebration of MMPR and since they had copies of the original costumes, could have filmed their own footage paying a greater homage to the original Dinozord themed suits.[[/note]]
** He claims that 'Powers from the Past' is the first episode of Power Rangers to have zero Sentai footage. This is false, as the show had 12 Sentai-free episodes by the time Lost Galaxy started, and even more since then. Amusingly, Linkara acknowledged this error by making a comment pointing out the error a featured comment on the site's comments and added an annotation to the Website/YouTube version.
** In the review of ''Gokaiger'''s first five episodes, he questions why the Gokaigers' transformation into the Magirangers in their respective tribute episode had an elaborate sequence when they already transformed into the Magirangers in the first episode with little fanfare. The more lavish and show accurate transformation sequences into past teams are usually reserved for tribute episodes, even if they've transformed into a them before.

* DearNegativeReader: Although it has since been edited out upon re-release, Linkara once started an episode of HOPR talking about the fans who constantly berate him for a schedule or ask him "when's the next ''History of Power Rangers''", going as far as to criticize Linkara's other works (like ''Atop the 4th Wall'') and trying to force him to only work on ''HOPR''. He says that while he is honored that so many people are excited about this side project, it's just that, a ''side project'', and all nagging him to get it done faster will do is make him not really want to do it at all. However, in his ''Megaforce'' review he does harken back to these fans and says while they did irritate him at the time, he really is thankful to them and all of his fans for supporting him to much and showing so much love to what is basically a grown man looking for deeper meaning in a children's television show.

* ExecutiveMeddling: This has sort of happened to ''History of Power Rangers'' itself; Linkara has said that as a result of him joining the Power Force (a group of officially-endorsed fans), Saban has requested he only use clips from official sources, meaning he couldn't use rips of TV broadcasts (as evidenced by logo bugs in the corner of the footage). This is part of the reason for the delay of the ''Operation Overdrive'' review, as he had to wait for the Shout! Factory DVD release. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools On the bright side]], this means the quality of the footage used in his reviews have very much improved, and Linkara has even said with the downtime he will have after catching up with the series, he would go back and re-edit the previous ''HOPR'' episodes with the official DVD footage.
** On top of this, seeing his redone ''MMPR'' season 1 video compared to the original version, not only is the footage crystal clear from the DVD rips as opposed to the pixilated VHS rips, a lot of the clip choices are better-fitting, in part due to him most likely searching the episodes again for clips to switch to, as well as letting the audience see what he's talking about. He's also rerecorded the commentary from the original script with his current microphone, which has not only to allow him to correct pronunciation mistakes (''Juuranger'' VS ''Zyoo-ranger''), but also include new details he's since learned after originally making and releasing the videos, then getting feedback by both ''Power Rangers'' and ''Super Sentai'' fans alike on them. The commentary itself is also in much better quality. Seriously, the video is much more accurate in the details for both franchises, ''Super Sentai'' in particular, and he's added some much needed added reflection on the season. It's basically UpdatedRerelease mixed with technological and VocalEvolution. Unfortunately, it's also caused him to cut out the establishing shots of the command center being shaken and Alpha 5 freaking out before Zordon says, "calm down, Alpha..." Though this could be from being forced to change or repeat clips after 10 seconds to dodge copyright.
** Thanks to [=YouTube=] seriously cracking down on copyright claims, and the fact it's about the only reliable video hosting site left (this after four previous hosting sites Linkara has tried to use have all gone under) the UpdatedRerelease of episodes all features significantly less footage than they previous had. While the rerelease of ''MMPR'' simply cut a lot of scenes to under the 10 second mark, the rerelease of ''Operation Overdrive'' saw many clips completely removed, instead being replaced with a lengthy still image of the scene for Linkara to talk over. This is especially erroneous in the re-releases of ''In Space'' and ''RPM'', which have to be delayed significantly since their original videos featured copyrighted music that Linkara is against removing completely. Instead, Linkara wants to record original covers of said music, but that proved to take a lot longer than he originally thought it would, leading him to simply skip the two seasons and saying he'll get back to them later. Granted, he already has the audio recordings of his commentary for ''RPM'', same as ''Overdrive'' and ''Jungle Fury,'' so all that's stopping him from rereleasing those videos ''is'' the cover of Music/MatchboxTwenty’s 'How Far We've Come'.
* FollowTheLeader: The series is extremely similar in style to the reviews of WebSite/SFDebris. Linkara definitely knows about his existence, due to the fact that he asked for permission for the use of Under Pressure in a similar way that WebSite/SFDebris did in his review of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''[='=]s finale for the finale of ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]''.
** More than that--he's been known to point people toward WebSite/SFDebris' "''Series/DoctorWho''" video if they have questions about where to start watching.
** In regards to ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', the fanbase has changed its opinion on several seasons, characters & aspects of the show following Linkara’s retrospectives - for example, [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Carter Grayson]] used to be considered one of the more boring Red Rangers, but now has the reputation of a MemeticBadass.

Finally, Linkara had to make an [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/135918669558 official post on Tumblr]] calling the editors of ''TV Tropes'' out that they had misunderstood his 'State of the Wall' post, and that all he meant is that with ''Dino Charge'' he will be completely done with the series ''for now'', since he very well can't cover any of the new seasons until they air in full and the [=DVDs=] are released, which could mean a break between ''HOPR'' episodes of around 2 years plus each.

** The review for ''Ninja Steel'' begins with Lewis explaining that due to even further crackdowns on [=YouTube=]'s Content ID system, he'll now be forced to utilize even LESS footage of the show than beforehand, and instead result resort to verbal recaps and stillframes.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, Linkara planned on retaining the 'Under Pressure' "Under Pressure" montage for the ''In Space'' remastered video. However, on a [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/state-of-the-wall-2-1-19/ State of the Wall post, dated February 1, 2019]], Linakra decided he eventually decided]] to scrap it due to the amount of wait he had to do for the cover, and decided that when ''In Space'' is was released, it would be without the montage.

** When talking about the missed opportunity to connect Ernie's Juice Bar to the past, he wonders why they couldn't get Lieutenant Stone's actor back. Thing is, they literally ''couldn't'' get his actor back, since not only was Greg Bullock (Stone's actor) dismissed from Saban in 1997 after his character had been written out of ''Turbo'', but he hadn't had any acting jobs since.

** In the revised version of the ''Turbo'' review, Linkara questions why Saban couldn't just skip ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' and just adapt one of the pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons, pointing to ''[[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Jetman]]'' as a possible candidate. The deal Saban, now Hasbro, has with Toei states that they cannot skip a ''Sentai'' season ([[Series/ResshaSentaiToqger save for one]]) regardless of what that season contains. The reason why Saban/Hasbro can't adapt pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons is because the agreement was for ''Zyuranger'' onward, and even if the deal ''had'' allowed them to use a prior Sentai, they would've still had to use ''Carranger'' footage at some point if they wanted to move onto ''Megaranger'' footage[[note]]That being said, he still does have a point, as Saban did still have unused footage of the core 5 from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''; while this would likely still have required them to adapt the Carranger mecha, as the ''Dairanger'' mecha had been used for the Thunderzords...which were destroyed, the sillier scenes on the ground from ''Carranger'' could have been replaced with ''Dairanger'' footage and spliced in with ''Ohranger'' and ''Carranger'' footage similar to ''Mighty Morphin'', since Saban was allowed to adapt ''Kakuranger'', despite the fact that the core 5 suits from ''Dairanger'' were not used[[/note]].

* ExecutiveMeddling: This has sort of happened to ''History of Power Rangers'' itself; Linkara has said that as a result of him joining the Power Force (a group of officially-endorsed fans), Saban has requested he only use clips from official sources, meaning he couldn't use rips of TV broadcasts (as evidenced by logo bugs in the corner of the footage). This is part of the reason for the delay of the ''Operation Overdrive'' review, as he had to wait for the Shout! Factory DVD release. [[TropesAreTools On the bright side]], this means the quality of the footage used in his reviews have very much improved, and Linkara has even said with the downtime he will have after catching up with the series, he would go back and re-edit the previous ''HOPR'' episodes with the official DVD footage.

** In the review of ''Gokaiger'''s first five episodes, he questions why the Gokaigers' transformation into the Magirangers in their respective tribute episode had an elaborate sequence when they already transformed into the Magirangers in the first episode with little fanfare. This was due to the fact that, oh yeah, it was ''a tribute episode''. The more lavish transformation sequences into past teams are usually reserved for tribute episodes, even if they've transformed into a past team before.

** Thanks to [=YouTube=] seriously cracking down on copyright claims, and the fact it's about the only reliable video hosting site left (this after four previous hosting sites Linkara has tried to use have all gone under) the UpdatedRerelease of episodes all features significantly less footage than they previous had. While the rerelease of ''MMPR'' simply cut a lot of scenes to under the 10 second mark, the rerelease of ''Operation Overdrive'' saw many clips completely removed, instead being replaced with a lengthy still image of the scene for Linkara to talk over. This is especially erroneous in the re-releases of ''In Space'' and ''RPM'', which have to be delayed significantly since their original videos featured copyrighted music that Linkara is against removing completely. Instead, Linkara wants to record original covers of said music, but that proved to take a lot longer than he originally thought it would, leading him to simply skip the two seasons and saying he'll get back to them later. Granted, he already has the audio recordings of his commentary for ''RPM'', same as ''Overdrive'' and ''Jungle Fury,'' so all that's stopping him from rereleasing those videos ''is'' the cover of Music/MatchboxTwenty's 'How Far We've Come'.

While ''Black RX'' did get DarkerAndEdgier in the latter half, and in comparison to ''Masked Rider'', it was "quite dark and violent", the source material was actually LighterAndSofter than [[Series/KamenRiderBlack it's predecessor]] for the entirety of it's run.

** He claims that 'Powers from the Past' is the first episode of Power Rangers to have zero Sentai footage. This is false, as the show had 12 Sentai-free episodes by the time Lost Galaxy started, and even more since then.

** He's also had to delay the redone version of the ''In Space'' videos to December 2017 at the earliest, due to his work on ''Atop the Fourth Wall'' and the need to try to work Queen and David Bowie's 'Under Pressure' into the video, since the clip he used in the original was long enough that it'd get claimed for copyright on YouTube, and there'd probably be no way he'd get away with it. He's said he'll be commissioning a cover to be done by someone specifically for the video so he can be able to get it out without any problems. As of the end of December 2017, additional delays in getting the 'Under Pressure' cover has Linkara stating that the ''In Space'' re-release will be delayed even further.

** Another show that was inspired by ''History of Power Rangers'' is ''History of Kamen Riders'' created by Marcosatsu. Even the credits lampshade it by saying that the show was inspired by ''History of Power Rangers''.

** In the revised version of the ''Turbo'' review, Linkara questions why Saban couldn't just skip ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' and just adapt one of the pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons, pointing to ''[[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Jetman]]'' as a possible candidate. The deal Saban has with Toei states that Saban cannot skip a ''Sentai'' season ([[Series/ResshaSentaiToqger save for one]]) regardless of what that season contains. The reason why Saban can't adapt pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons is because the agreement was for ''Zyuranger'' onward[[note]]That being said, he does have a point, as Saban did still have unused footage of the core 5 from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''; while this would likely still have required them to adapt the Carranger mecha, the sillier scenes on the ground from ''Carranger'' could have been replaced with ''Dairanger'' footage, since Saban was allowed to adapt ''Kakuranger'', despite the fact that the core 5 suits from ''Dairanger'' were not used[[/note]].

** Thanks to [=YouTube=] seriously cracking down on copyright claims, and the fact it's about the only reliable video hosting site left (this after four previous hosting sites Linkara has tried to use have all gone under) the UpdatedRerelease of episodes all features significantly less footage than they previous had. While the rerelease of ''MMPR'' simply cut a lot of scenes to under the 10 second mark, the rerelease of ''Operation Overdrive'' saw many clips completely removed, instead being replaced with a lengthy still image of the scene for Linkara to talk over. This is especially erroneous in the re-releases of ''In Space'' and ''RPM'', have have to be delayed significantly since their original videos featured copyrighted music that Linkara is against removing completely. Instead, Linkara wants to record original covers of said music, but that proved to take a lot longer than he originally thought it would, leading him to simply skip the two seasons and claiming he'll get back to them later.

** In his ''Megaforce'' video, he claims that the pre-''Power Rangers'' suits used in the ''Gokaiger'' footage that was used in the episode "The Wrath" were from the first five Super Sentai series. While [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan VulEagle]] (the only one to be replaced in that scene) was from the fifth ''Super Sentai'' series, the rest of them[[note]][[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Blue Mask]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Green Flash]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Griffon]], and [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman FiveYellow]], if you are curious[[/note]] were from later series[[note]]the actual reasoning behind the choice of suits in ''Gokaiger'' was that they were the five teams whose Ultimate Powers had been stolen by Basco ta Jolokia earlier in the series[[/note]].
