History YMMV / HistoryOfPowerRangers

** It's debatable whether or not Linkara started it, but the clip of Zordon saying, "Too much pink energy is dangerous," has at least grown in popularity since Linkara started using the clip whenever applicable. Of course, said meme being acknowledged in Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury did not go unnoticed by him, sending him into an [[Funny/HistoryOfPowerRangers existential crisis]].

** It's debatable whether or not Linkara started it, but the clip of Zordon saying, "Too much pink energy is dangerous," has at least grown in popularity since Linkara started using the clip whenever applicable.

** In his review of ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' Linkara dismissively states that Tommy and Kat’s romance never goes anywhere. ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' would reveal that the two got married and had a son together, so much for “goes nowhere”.

* NeverLiveItDown: Lewis's huge rant at the beginning of his old ''Wild Force'' review[[labelnote:note]]Which was completely cut from the remastered version[[/labelnote]] can be seen this by fans and especially his detractors. While he has considered it an OldShame and has criticized it for how it was executed, it's something that many, in particular with his critics online, have used against him, especially considering that to some, he's becoming heated over something like ''Power Rangers''.

** In his review of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Linkara compares Kira, who is an aspiring singer, to ComicBook/BlackCanary, due to both of them having a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic scream]] attack. In 2015, Black Canary starred in a comic where she was part of a rock band.

*** His rant about this question at the beginning of the original Wild Force episode

** Linkara's decision not to immediately change his ''Operation Overdrive'' video to remove his statements in regards to Samuell Benta being a thief. Over a decade after the accusation that Benta stole a banner meant to be auctioned off for charity he finally came forward to assert his innocence, stating the banner in question was either lost by staff (the convention was notorious for not being well run) or that it was stolen by one of the fans and not hwim. Linkara, for his part, has acknowledged he has been made aware of the video but that before he takes any action he wants to research the facts himself, since in spite of Benta's claim its still a 'he said/he said' scenario on who is telling the truth. He has not said outright he thinks Benta is lying, but that it was not handled well (Benta should not have waited 13 years to finally make a statement, for instance), but has said in general he probably should remove the statement since ''History of Power Rangers'' really should be more focused on the actual show and not its actors, unless their actions have a direct effect on the season in question[[note]]As an example, Linkara has said he would not mention the Ricardo Medina Jr. court case in his videos since the actor's actions had no impact on ''Wild Force'' or ''Samurai'', though he did bring it up in the revision[[/note]]. Some fans support Linkara doing his due diligence in finding the facts, while others have accused him outright of slander when there were so few facts in the first place to criminalize Benta. Ultimately, in the opening to his reuploaded review of ''Wild Force'', he both mentioned the case (in a brief and non-sensationalized way) to start with, before stating that he doesn't otherwise want to bring it up for the reasons stated above, and [[AuthorsSavingThrow included a quick cut-in in which he acknowledges that Benta's claim is disputed and that he regrets bringing it up, while still not quite apologizing since he feels Benta is at the very least guilty of negligence.]]

* GrowingTheBeard: While fans generally disagree as to when ''HOPR'' officially hit its stride, most can agree that the first episode, covering ''Mighty Morphin'' Season 1, really wasn't that good, since it skipped CharacterDevelopment for anyone who wasn't Tommy, Bulk, or Skull (not even giving analysis for the villains), skipped the season's originally intended finale ("Doomsday") barring a passing mention, and didn't even bring up characters like Titanus or Scorpina. He eventually did release a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6d0wh8g70Y re-edited version of season 1]] over a month after his video on ''Megaforce'', and [[AuthorsSavingThrow addressed many of these criticisms]].

** He says a couple of the Rangers' suits from ''Jungle Fury'' look too much like track suits, apparently unaware that they actually were designed by a sports company in ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger''.

** In his ''Dino Thunder'' review, Linkara made a joke about how the Rangers got their powers from genocide and extinction. [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Another Dino-based Ranger team]] ended up accidentally destroying the planet in their finale and [[NeverLiveItDown have received no end of flack from it the fan base]].

** When he got to Billy leaving ''Zeo'', he said he hasn't been able to find much information on why it happened, but he's heard it was because David Yost was hard to work with. Shortly afterwards, Yost finally did reveal why he left: he was constantly subjected to shocking verbal abuse over his homosexuality. In the next video to go up, Lewis confirmed that he'd seen the interview and will add it into the ''Zeo'' review in the future (which he did when he redid the video for [=YouTube=], saying that he believes Yost).
** In the wrap-up for RPM he makes a meta joke about Ziggy and Dr K's actors getting married. They broke up in early 2016.

** In the ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' review, Linkara notes that the promotional materials Saban had been given for ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' showed a space-themed series...but the what they actually got was a video game- and device-themed show. If Saban had just waited 20 years, they would have gotten [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger a series]] that ''was'' actually space themed.
** In his review of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Linkara compares Kira, who is an aspiring to singer, to ComicBook/BlackCanary, due to both of them having a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic scream]] attack. In 2015, Black Canary starred in a comic where she was part of a rock band.

** He has a RunningGag of discussing the various Ranger {{Super Mode}}s and concluding that "At least it isn't glitter" because of the third season Metallic armor that was just the regular suits with a thick layer of color appropriate glitter on them (which were not only underwhelming but the suits are so brightly colored anyway you often couldn't tell it was different). The reboot movie featured close-ups of the new suits and helmets and comparisons to glittery rock candy came up.
** Any time he complains about the Megaforce rangers getting too many Zords is this if you've seen ''Goseiger'' and know that there were Zords that weren't adapted - said zords are the Exotic Brothers, Mystic Brothers, and Datas Hyper[[note]]Exotic Brothers was only used once, and Datas Hyper wasn't used, since Tensou looks different from Datas; although it's never been revealed why Mystic Brothers wasn't used[[/note]], as well as a ranger that wasn't adapted[[note]]although said ranger would have required all-original footage, since Gosei Green, the ranger in question, only appeared in flashbacks, and even then, his costume was not usable, as it had been damaged during ''Goseiger'''s production[[/note]].
** During one bit of his ''Megaforce'' review, Linkara goes into a rant about how an episode regarding trains is stupid, bringing up how America does not rely on trains as much as Japan does. Funny enough, ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'', a Sentai show all ''about'' trains, is considered unadaptable to the point where [[RoguesGalleryTransplant the showrunners rather have the villains be in different Ranger seasons altogether]].

** In his ''Wild Force'' Review, he jokes that it would be odd if Zordon had Alpha beat up the Rangers until they agreed to do the job. In the 2017 movie, Alpha actually ''does'' toss the rangers around a bit until they agree to follow him to meet Zordon.
** In the ''Dino Charge'' Review, he mentions that adapting ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters'' might have been difficult as the suits were not spandex. Fast forward to 2018 as ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' was announced at 2018 Toy Fair. Linkara himself points this out come his review of ''Ninja Steel'', pointing to that line in particular when briefly discussing ''Beast Morphers''.
** In the ''Beast Morphers'' Review, he mentions wishing there was a crossover between Power Rangers and ''Series/SuperhumanSamuraiSyberSquad''. While it has no ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' representatives, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' does have ''Anime/{{SSSS GRIDMAN}}'' teaming up with CombiningMecha series like ''Anime/CombattlerV''

** In the ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' review, Linkara joked about the "anti-virus technique of hitting the monster with a sword". In a recent ad for a computer, which used video clips to explain its features, the anti-virus was demonstrated by... the original Megazord whacking Goldar over the head with a sword.
*** Speaking of his review for ''In Space'', he notes that the promotional materials Saban had been given for ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' showed a space-themed series...but the what they actually got was a video game- and device-themed show. If Saban had just waited 20 years, they would have gotten [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger a series]] that ''was'' actually space themed.

*** As of recent, though, this seems to be subverted, since he has reviewed episodes of ''Zyuranger'' and ''Gokaiger'' as Patreon requests, and he gave them positive reviews, and odds are that with Saban skipping series as of late, he very well might end up watching the skipped series on his own.

** Every video is met with some comments calling him an idiot because his opinion is different from theirs, or because he has zero interest in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' other than for background information relevant to the adaptation (like the weirder parts of ''Turbo'' spawning from ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' being a parody) or if people bug him enough about a certain part [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger The Legend War]] (note he did say that he watched the Legend War movie and agreed that it was awesome).
