History YMMV / TheCartoonHero

* CriticProof: In the beginning, the Hero had a low-quality camera, clearly read from a script, and at first didn't even have a real personality -- yet somehow, on the TGWTG forums and in his later videos, his views are almost even with ''WebVideo/DiamandaHagan''. To be fair, though, he did fix those problems later.

** In his review of ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure'', he states that ''Battle Tendency (the 2nd part of the anime)takes place in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne. Even though the show states that the 2nd part starts off in 1938, a decade after World War I.

** and while we're at it: During the beginning of the ''Alice in Wonderland'' review which was also the last part of the So Bad It's Horrible month he found it "messed up" that ''WesternAnimation/{{Delgo}}'' was on the So Bad it's Horrible page but ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' wasn't. Several years later everyone seems to have come realized this as well since the former was removed from the site while the latter one was added to it.

** In his "Top 10 ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''" review, he does mention the DCEU again but unlike with his reviews to ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'', he didn't harshly insult any of those movies again and even mentions that he has no problems with anyone being a fan of the DCEU films and in the end he only mentions that he would wish that DC would have more fun with their super heroes.

* TearJerker: The beginning of his ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' review.

** In his ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' review: The "In Honor of Mako" was already quite touching in the series, but what is just as emotional is that immediately after this scene we get to see the Hero doing a MilitarySalute towards Creator/{{Mako}}.

** The SeriesFinale. Hoo boy the series finale: [[spoiler: Hero dies after saving the world one more time. Six then chooses to save his life by sacrifing himself by combining their minds in a new reincarnated mind of a newborn child from another universe.]] [[HeReallyCanAct Eli Stone's performance where Six]] [[spoiler:reacts to the Hero's inevitable demise]] really sells the whole episode.

** Meta: Eli Stone had announced to retire the Cartoon Hero in 2018 which still hits hard with a lot of fans.

* ArchivePanic: The Cartoon Hero is probably one of the most prolific reviewers outside of Website/ChannelAwesome with 303 episodes and counting.

** Meta: Eli Stone had announced to retire the Cartoon Hero in 2018 which still hits hard with about of fans.

* InternetBackdraft: A small contingency of people ''hate'' his "Top 10 Cartoons I Hate That Everyone Else Loves" list.

** His videos on ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' bosses are ''full'' of these, the most egregious example being him mistaking a case of WhatCouldHaveBeen as a reverse ShesAManInJapan.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Yb5jzRTBI The Greatest Show Unearthed]] by Creature Feature. When combined with the [[NightmareFuel nightmare-inducing animations]] in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbNryaK7DIs intro]] to ''So Bad It's Horrible Halloween'', the result is pretty CreepyAwesome.
** Season 5 had the song It's Not My Time by Music/ThreeDoorsDown and it matched perfectly with the imagery shown during the intro. Just perfect.

** In his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' video, when he briefly goes over his history with the series, he says he's [[ThisIsGonnaSuck not looking forward]] to one of the more infamous entries, with an image of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' as the example. The game was generally loved by fans and has a 92% critic score and an 8.8 player score on Metacritic, which hardly qualifies as infamous.

** In a video he made with WebVideo/TheHardcoreKid, he criticizes [[WebVideo/ReviewingAReviewer Asalieri]]'s parody of WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} and says: ''"Isn't the whole point of parodying something to show you can do it better than they can while making fun of it?"'' As Asalieri himself comments:
-->'''Asalieri''': Nnnnno, the point of parody is to take something and make fun of it. That's it.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Much like the Nostalgia Critic, this is bound to happen once in a while--but it's usually addressed in the "Top X Worst Mistakes" list he makes at the end of every season.

** His videos on ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' bosses are ''full'' of these, the most egregious example being him mistaking a case of WhatCouldHaveBeen as a reverse ShesAManInJapan.
** In the ''Jirachi Wish Maker'' review, he declares Hypnosis doesn't work on Dark Pokemon, which it in fact does.
*** This mistake was so dumb, even he made fun of it later on in the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew review.
*** The thing is he usually would be right because in the Generation 6 games, Absol would likely be a Mega Absol which has Magic Bounce which would reflect the Hypnosis.
** In his review of ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure'', he states that ''Battle Tendency (the 2nd part of the anime)takes place in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne. Even though the show states that the 2nd part starts off in 1938, a decade after World War I.
*** He would later correct himself in the comments stating that it takes place between [=WW1=] and [=WW2=], though this would be proven incorrect with a later reply.

** His ''WesternAnimation/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' review got some heat from audiences who felt that he was too mean to this movie.

** Season 5 had the song It's Not My Time by Music/ThreeDoorsDown and it matched perfectly with the imagery shown during the intro. Just perfect.

** His Re-Reviews from his older episodes. For example: His Re-Review to WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutonBoyGenius was a proper analytical review as opposed to the constant nitpicking in his older review to it.
** In his "Top 10 Batman: The Brave and the Bold" review, he does mention the DCEU again but unlike with his reviews to WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite and WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar, he didn't harshly insult any of those movies again and even mentions that he has no problems with anyone being a fan of the DCEU films and in the end he only mentions that he would wish that DC would have more fun with their super heroes.

** Season 5 had the song It's Not My Time by Three Doors Down and it matched perfectly with the imagery shown during the intro. Just perfect.

** As of 2016 he brought up his politician beliefs (particulary with plenty of TakeThat's against UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump) which some people don't mind but made other people feel annoyed and/or say will [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece date his videos in no time]].
** His WesternAnimation/RockADoodle review. A decent review that brings up his own opinions or a copycat (if angrier) version of Webvideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review?

** In the Jirachi Wish Maker review, he declares Hypnosis doesn't work on Dark Pokemon, which it in fact does.

** In his review of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, he states that Battle Tendency(the 2nd part of the anime)takes place in World War 1. Even though the show states that the 2nd part starts off in 1938, a decade after World War 1.

** At the end of his ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' review, he helds a speech about never giving up your dreams and he also tells his audience that just because someone says your work is terrible and you don't deserve another chance, that you should never stop doing what you love to do. About two years later ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' finally got its chance to continue.

** His WesternAnimation/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin review got some heat from audiences who felt that he was too mean to this movie.
** He got some heat from the DCEU fanbase for his scathing attack on Film/ManOfSteel, which he even acknowledged and apologized for in his WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar review... only for him to make fun of Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice, pretty much undoing his apology in the process. (Though to be fair, he was much nicer about that.)

* TearJerker: The beginning of his VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia review.
** In his WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender review: The "In Honor of Mako" was already quite touching in the series, but what is just as emotional is that immediately after this scene we get to see the Hero doing a MilitarySalute towards Creator/{{Mako}}.

*** He would later correct himself in the comments stating that it takes place between WW1 and WW2, though this would be proven incorrect with a later reply.
