*** This was later justified in the EarthBound review, though it also arguably counts as an example: [[spoiler: Apparently, being turned into a human-toon hybrid gives one access to [[Manga/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy.]] ]]

Just recently, Eli has also started his own retrospective project on the [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Ace Attorney series.]] Much like Linkara's ''WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers'' videos, he has stated that each game will have three videos to cover it--two to go over what happens in all four-five cases in said game, and one to go over characters and general thoughts on the game in question. However, also like that series, there will be no set schedule.

If anything is notable about his series, it's that the show's quality gets increasingly better as time passes. The storyline becomes deeper, the camera quality gets better, and (perhaps not coincidentally) he references TVTropes more and more. Either way, you can find him on Reviewers Unknown [[http://www.reviewersunknown.com/category/cartoon-hero/ here]], and on BlipTV [[http://thatguyinthecape.blip.tv/ here]].

Added DiffLines:

* HannibalLecture: Delivered out-of-character to the creators of {{Barnyard}} when he found out that the male cows having udders was intentional because the creators thought the idea was inherently funny. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome He slammed them for being insensitive to transgendered people, intersexed people, and transvestites.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: [[invoked]] One of his ''other '' main concerns with ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' was the fact that it couldn't seem to decide whether or not it was for kids, as it constantly vacillated between juvenile humor and pop-culture references that only adults would get.

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuitySnarl: His reviews of the animated Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Elseworlds Month specials that followed them prominently featured one of his colleagues, Arthur Knowledge of The Quest for Geekdom--the former even featured a storyline involving a prophesy, two rings harnessing the power of nerd rage and the joys of geekdom, and implying that Arthur's "Apprentice" title meant that he was apprentice to the Hero at one point. This is never brought up again after the Elseworlds Month specials, but in this case, there actually is a reason. [[spoiler: In The Quest for Geekdom, aliens invaded and would have destroyed the Earth, but to save it, a universal reboot occurred, causing the Hero and Arthur to have never met, and revamping Arthur's character into less of a Green Lantern and more of a paladin.]] It is unknown what became of the new villain, Razor, or the rings, or if they will ever be brought up again. Even the Hero acknowledged that this probably confused a lot of people.

* DudeNotFunny:[[invoked]] When addressing the fact that the creators DID know that bulls don't have udders in {{Barnyard}}, he demonstrated that just giving a character the traits of the opposite gender doesn't qualify as a joke unless they do something with it--and in fact, that that way of thinking is a bit outdated due to the real problems transgendered people face.


Added DiffLines:

** The Hero did a rather memorable shout-out to LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} and the rest of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys in the EarthBound review, mostly because it was they who helped him discover the Mother series in the first place.

* RunningGag: He has a few that NC made famous like [[Film/StreetFighter OF COURSE!]] (which he later replaced with one from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]]), but there are a few of his own, like the aforementioned entry under MoneyDearBoy, playing the music from ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' whenever he cuts to the cover of a movie that he really hates, as well as playing "Gold Digger" whenever...well, a gold-digging female character shows up. Occasionally, however, this is [[DefiedTrope defied]] when the movie actually makes the jokes for him. (See his ''SharkTale'' review for an example.)
