* AuthorsSavingThrow: She said she regretted the episode she did with the Critic about ''Film/MoulinRouge'', as she's actually a fan of the film. In her analysis of the 2004 film version of ''[[Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004 Phantom of the Opera]]'', she uses ''Moulin Rouge'' as a comparison.

** The team were getting a lot of flack over the "Nella abuse", which some took way too seriously and thought it was happening in real life. So Lindsay made a "Thanks For Your Feedback", detailing that the Nostalgia Chick had sinfully low self-esteem and was paying Nella to make her look better. This seems to have also influenced "the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark Nella]] Saga," where the [[PowersViaPossession evil entity possessing Nella]] gets revenge on the Chick for all the hell she put her through. (Note that the "Nella abuse" has pretty much stopped since the Saga ended.)

** Her crossover review with the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic for ''Film/MoulinRouge''. She legitimately enjoys the film, but since Creator/DougWalker wrote the script for the review, he mapped his own opinions onto her lines. Lindsay talked about her regret for agreeing to do the review [[https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/695478000935006208 on her Twitter]]. In her video essay of ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' she talked about ''Film/MoulinRouge'' positively.

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. It's not so much that the Chick isn't really funny, but Lindsay is a lot happier and gigglier out of character.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: During her "Top 10 Boy Bands of the '90s" review, while discussing 98º, it's pretty clear she isn't all that concerned with learning Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffrie's names or even telling the four guys apart, especially towards the end of the segment, when she's perplexed over the tattoo of the band's logo on Jeff's arm... and mistakes him for Nick Lachey.

** Her review of the ''Film/Dune1984'' film was taken down shortly after its release because she felt that most of the plot holes she brought up were actually addressed within the film itself, as unclear as they were.
** Creator/LindsayEllis privated almost all of the series' videos thanks to her CreatorBacklash towards them, believing that they helped foster an overreliance on the CausticCritic reviewing style among content creators. The only videos still publicly available are the revies for ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', which were reuploaded to Ellis' main channel.

** The other two women seriously considered for the role of Nostalgia Chick were Kaylyn Saucedo and Krissy Diggs. Given that the other two were picked up anyway and took up the characters of MarzGurl and That Chick With the Goggles, it's likely that Lindsay would have been picked up and started doing something akin to her later video essay content anyway.

* BuryYourArt: Her review of the ''Film/Dune1984'' film. Lindsay took it down because she felt that most of the plot holes she brought up were actually addressed within the film itself, as unclear as they were.



* CreatorBacklash: Lindsay has this to the "Nostalgia Chick" title, mostly to do with TGWTG's ugly politics and the title's connection to that (as she was brought on to be a DistaffCounterpart for Critic). [[https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/624288959179419648 There's only about seven episodes she likes]], and she much prefers doing articles under her own name or "Loose Canon".

* CreatorBacklash: CreatorBacklash:
** In her livestream, Lindsay admitted that she watched "Rapping About Rape" again and could see why it got so much hate. In 2021, she revealed that it had been uploaded without her consent, and she'd made the video primarily as a coping mechanism to deal with her own sexual assault.
** In a weird way, [[http://lindsayetumbls.tumblr.com/post/37955055365/i-was-kind-of-wondering-why-you-took-down-the-tlc the TLC retrospective]]. While she doesn't seem to think it's a ''bad'' episode, it's more that she thinks sincere emotions on the show are too out of place.
** Her crossover review with the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic for ''Film/MoulinRouge''. She legitimately enjoys the film, but since Creator/DougWalker wrote the script for the review, he mapped his own opinions onto her lines.

In her video essay of ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' she talked about ''Film/MoulinRouge'' positively.
** The ''{{WebVideo/Kickassia}}'' movie was this due to the TroubledProduction, calling it "the first time I felt genuinely disrespected."
** ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' - which she has said of:
--->"I was embarrassed then to be part of them and I still am."
** In her 400k subscribers Q&A special from 2018, Lindsay has stated that she is by and large rather ashamed of all her video content made before 2015. She would also announce in the same video that she has removed her Nostalgia Chick videos from her main channel and placed them on their own channel, where the series has been retitled "[[CaptainErsatz Nostalgic Woman]]". The only video from that era that remains on Lindsay's main channel is the one for ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'', which she has said she is still proud of.

* {{Corpsing}}: The Chick once did a tribute video to Team [=NChick=]'s tendency to nearly laugh while in a scene. Out of all of them, Lindsay is probably the most guilty of this, particularly in crossovers with the boys (especially with her RL boyfriend WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows). You can see this happen in her video "''Film/SleeplessInSeattle'' vs. ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally''" as well as the outtakes for her ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' video with [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]].

Undermined by Reality is under construction.


* UnderminedByReality: While most (if not all) of Website/ChannelAwesome got hit with this after the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] fiasco in 2018, which revealed some pretty ugly goings-on within the company, this show got it especially bad. Many fans have admitted to having a hard time with rewatching old episodes now that they know what was going on behind the scenes. Lindsay admitting in a lengthy Twitter thread that she didn't enjoy her time as the Chick at ''all'' was the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people. It says a lot that Lindsay's reuploads of the show have snarkily retitled them "Nostalgic Woman" instead.
