** In part two of the ''[[ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis Countdown]]'' review, he goes into a harrowing account of the unfolding of the Great Disaster, which is followed by a motontage of scenes of destruction set to emotional music... only to abruptly stop it once he realizes that the Great Disaster isn't even happening in the main DC universe, and then goes into a mini-rant on the plotholes raised by this fact.

** After seeing fans attacking creators for minor things, he regrets his early attacks on creators themselves. This is the main reason why, with his first review in 2021, he changed the theme song to the one featured in episode 600[[note]]The lyrics in question was "Brodski, you're not the smartest/Liefeld, you're not an artist"[[/note]]. He did clarify that he'll critique the artwork and other works, but never the person.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In ''Star Trek vs. Transformers,'' Starscream attempts to seize rulership of the Klingons by threatening the current leadership. When they refuse to back down, saying that any Klingon would choose to die with honor over submission to an enemy, not only does Starscream start shooting at them, he points out that if they ''really'' cared about honor, they'd be on a battlefield instead of cowering away in their Council chamber. Linkara opens his mouth to object but after thinking it through, admits "That's fair."

** The [[MilestoneCelebration 600th episode]] has a blink-and-you'll miss it correction that functions as this (Linkara having taken great pains to ensure viewers unfamiliar with the original story don't have the ShockingSwerve moments ruined for them): Linkara gets to the moment where Peter sees the results of [[DaddyDNATest a dna test]] and comments that the DNA test revealed Gabriel and Sarah are his kids. As he says this, the word "HER" pops up to correct the line for a fraction of a second, [[ExactWords since the test was only with Gwen's DNA]]. [[spoiler: And indeed, though we're led to believe otherwise during this part of the story, they are ONLY Gwen's kids, not his.]]

* LostAesop: One of Linkara's primary criticisms of ''ComicBook/JLAActOfGod'' was its inability to hold on to a single message. At some points, the comic seemed to be anti-vigilante, critiquing superheroes for their "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord arrogance]]," but at other points in the stories, it seems to imply that it is the responsibility of any socially conscious individual to take matters into their own hands. Sometimes it explains the importance of working within the system and at other times people who do so are only too scared to break out of it. At no point does it give a consistent, clear message to its readers.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Linkara has a big problem with this in "Tandy Computer Whiz Kids: Community Action Program". Specifically, the whole issue derides graffiti as terrible, which is a debatable subject in itself, but ends on the Whiz Kids making a mural... Which is just another kind of graffiti. As Linkara points out, the message becomes less "graffiti is bad" and more "graffiti ''that we don't like'' is bad".
