History NostalgiaChick / TropesGToL

** Lindsay came out with an AsHerself episode of her top ten movies that she's most ashamed to like. In order; ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'', ''Film/{{Showgirls}}'', ''Film/IndependenceDay'', every Meg Ryan movie from 1988 to 2002 (except ''Film/YouveGotMail''), ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', ''Om Shanti Om'', ''Film/AVPAlienVsPredator'', ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'', ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' and ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''. She's constantly apologizing for the last two.

** The ''Franchise/XMen'' review, where Dr. Tease gives her TruthSerum to stop the episode from being "too boring", addressed the complaints that her usual style is not as... animated as her colleagues.

*** The Chick's outfits don't match between the ''Franchise/XMen'' review and the exterior segment, because, as she says "I'm going to take a sad walk. ''I'm gonna change my shirt'' and take a sad walk."

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', ''Film/TrueLies'' and ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''. She points this out even more by having the scene where they run away, the scene where Creator/JamieLeeCurtis strips and the romantic sex scene.

** In ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': "*gasp* Michael Bay!"

** In-universe, after the Chick's nastiness reached its peak in ''Film/CharliesAngels'' and fans complained that she'd gone too far, ''Film/CutthroatIsland'' onwards eased up just a little on the BlackAndGrayMorality. At the very least, Chick isn't as bitter as she used to be.

** Although the screening she went to was crappy because of all the misogynist crap shouted at Lisa and she'd only seen the movie before while drunk, she enjoys ''Film/TheRoom''.

** She also brings this up in the "Dear Stephenie Meyer" video, a look at the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series with the benefit of hindsight and noting that a lot of the bashing directed at the books and movies is based in this line of thinking.

** [[http://www.formspring.me/ElisaInTime/q/320996635242923478 Elisa]] likes ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', ''Film/SpiderMan1'', ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'', ''Film/IndependenceDay'', ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} Twilight: Eclipse]]'', ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' and ''Phantom Of The Mall''.

** Hilariously done in her and Lupa's review of "Honor & Glory". The man-hating feminist is on [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Team Edward]].

* LoveTriangle: [[TriangRelations A Type-5]] with the Chick as A, WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows as B and [[Creator/AllisonPregler Lupa]] as C. [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] has been recently added to the mix apparently in love with The Nostalgia Chick and plotting to destroy WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows. The Critic's also involved somehow, but exactly [[DatingCatwoman where]] is anyone's guess.

* GainaxEnding: Parodied at the end of her epic four-part ''{{Franchise/Transformers}}''-''{{Film/Armageddon}}''-''Film/{{Bratz}}'' review: [[spoiler:She and the Nostalgia Critic chloroform each other and fall unconscious; [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Ma-Ti]] walks on stage and kicks them four times, shouting, "[[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Heart!]] Stomach! Liver! Spleen!", then looks at the viewer and intones, "[[BreakingTheFourthWall I can sense you.]]"]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* GratuitousGerman: In her ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' review, she starts speaking in German after Dr. Tease's TruthSerum makes her admit Nightcrawler was the reason she learned the language.

* SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike: The Chick [[{{Inuniverse}} does this]] for ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' when [[MadScientist Dr. Tease]] doses her with [[TruthSerums Truth Serum]].

** In "The Top 11 Animated Villainesses", she gives an unabashed TakeThat to furries. In the ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' review when she's on TruthSerum, she has a fangirl meltdown over Nightcrawler. She's also admitted that the WesternAnimation/{{Bea|utyAndTheBeast}}st has his appeal. And the most damning: her sexual awakening was ''[[WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest Batty]]''.

* KidAppealCharacter: Jubilee in ''WesternAnimation/XMen'':

* KillEmAll: ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' did this in the most traumatizing way possible.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: One of her ''many'' complaints about Creator/RolandEmmerich's movies.

** She [[YaoiFangirl actually says]] [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Rattigan and Basil]] have the best sexual tension between any [[FoeYay protagonist and antagonist.]]

* LostInImitation: A good portion of "The Case for Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''" addresses [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the dominating criticism of the film changing significantly from]] [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Victor Hugo's original novel]], pointing out how [[OlderThanTheyThink it's not the first successful adaptation that changed or straight-up invented story elements and themes not present in the novel]], with Disney's version owing more to [[Film/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame1939 the 1939 film]] than the original book. She also argues that [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools this isn't a bad thing]], as not only [[PragmaticAdaptation can it correct or expand on newer concepts]], it's pretty much necessary [[TechnologyMarchesOn if the story is to remain relevant over time]], and as well, Victor Hugo would probably be okay with it (having written [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Esmeralda_(opera) an opera based on his book]], significantly changing many things from his own text for a new audience, including having Esmeralda live at the end).

* InfantImmortality: Averted. One of her {{parody commercial}}s has a doll called Baby Death Wish...

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: "Creator/SeanConnery: lover, fighter, [[Film/{{Dragonheart}} fuckin' dragon]]."

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Look a little closer at those images during the slowed-down "Chipmunk Song." Yup, thats [[spoiler:a silhouette of a dragon graphically fucking a car, visible cum and all]]. The radar in this case being Blip.com, who probably would not have let that through if they'd noticed.

** ''Film/{{Dune}}'':

** "Inside The [=NChick=] Labs" is ''filled with it'', making fun of her ScheduleSlip, her increasing ComedicSociopathy and penchant for BlackComedyRape, addressing how Nella wrote the ''Film/{{Grease}}'' subplot so she can't complain about the Makeover Fairy being bitchy, not doing her research on {{MacGuffin}}s in the ''Film/{{Dune}}'' review and of course, the "[[NeverLiveItDown Rapping About Rape]]" controversy.

** "Don't Stand" plays whenever we see Sting [[{{Film/Dune}} in a galactic speedo]].

* LostEpisode: She has a frustrating habit of quietly taking down reviews she ended up not liking or were apparently too different from her usual episodes. ''Rapping About Rape'', ''Film/TheFifthElement'', ''Film/{{Dune}}'' and most depressingly, the TLC retrospective--poof, gone. Luckily, most of these are floating around [=YouTube=].

* TheGenericGuy: On a list mostly full of [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys sexy bad boys]], Eric from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'' gets this slot for just being nice, rich and handsome.

** In her review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'', she finally joins in singing "[[IWantSong Part of Your World]]".

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'' is shocked and appalled that she hasn't been mentioned yet.

* LostMyAppetite: The gory electrocution of the eels in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'' puts her off sushi for a while.

** In her review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'', this gets coupled with EarWorm when she finally joins in singing "[[IWantSong Part of Your World]]".

** ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHoundII'' gets major points off for being "Tod and Copper join a band" while the original was one of the most somber Disney pictures.
