History AtopTheFourthWall / TropesEToP

** At the end of ''Silent Hill: The Grinning Man'' [[spoiler: Whately is killed by the same Magic Gun/Girl his cult created by sacrificing the girl in the first place]].

* ICallHerVera: [[spoiler: Inverted, the magic gun's name is Margaret, but that was the name of the girl sacrificed to make it, not a nickname Linkara gave it. Linkara doesn't even discover it until the ''ComicBook/CatwomanGuardianOfGotham #1'' review.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Linkara has one of these when Silent Hill convinces him that he was one of the people responsible for torturing a little girl to create the Magic Gun. This [[DrivenToSuicide caused him to nearly kill himself]] before he was stopped by said little girl/magic gun.]]

* PetPeeveTrope: [[invoked]] Linkara has several that tick him off.

** He admits that ''ComicBook/BruteForce'' is this because it is [[SoBadItsGood gloriously bad]].

* NiceHat: His trilby. At [=ComiCon=], when asked if he was wearing "the" hat, his response was "Yes, and you may touch it for a dollar, good sir!" In his ChristmasEpisode, it becomes extra nice. How? He wears a [[SantaClaus Santa hat]] on top of the trilby!
** According to the ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' commentary, his trilby protects him from the life draining effects of magic.

** LINKARA'S BELLOWING OF THE [[{{ComicBook/Doom}} DOOM COMIC'S]] DIALOGUE IS ESSENTIALLY THE Wrestling/{{ULTIMATE WARRIOR}} [[UpToEleven TURNED UP TO 11]], '''[[VerbalTic HOAK HOGAN]]'''!!!

* OrphanedSeries: Linkara has expressed reluctance at the prospect of reviewing the fourth and final issue of Gameboy, as the review of issue 3 begins with a [[OldShame tribute to Jew Wario]].

** PlayedForLaughs again, Linkara found himself on the other end on this in the 600th episode as [[spoiler:while they'd been willing to parody the plot of the stories he reviewed in other hundredth episodes before, his fellow reviewers thought even parodying the plot of the story he was reviewing, the ''ComicBook/JMSSpiderMan'' arc "Sins Past", was asinine with Website/SFDebris realizing what he going on in a letter planned to parody Gwen Stacy's letter (about her affair and resultant pregnancy) and spent the rest of it telling Linkara off and Creator/AllisonPregler told Linkara that, while WebVideo/{{Welshy}} was willing, they weren't going to do it.]]

* FridgeHorror:[[invoked]] To quote a comment from the third part of his ComicBook/JLAActOfGod review:

*** Or in the ''[[Comicbook/RoboCopVersusTheTerminator Robocop vs. the Terminator]]'' review, where the {{Stinger}} uses a clip of the T-800 saying "Fuck you, asshole."

** Averted... Maybe when he made a cameo in WebVideo/{{Obscurus Lupa}}'s ''Film/EvilDead2'' review as himself possessed by a Deadite along with other possessed reviewers making fun of Lupa, he said ''shit''.

** He sees ''{{Transformers}}'' as goofy, but also awesome.

** He admits to liking "ComicBook/MaximumCarnage" in "Top 15 Comics I Won't Review", stating although it's long and some particular points such as the way the villains are defeated are pretty silly, he still finds it pretty fun.

--->'''[[Comicbook/GreenLantern Alan Scott]]:''' What a queer light!\\

* IllKillYou: Linkara borrows the "I'll kill you to death!" line from [[ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis Countdown]][[ItMakesSenseInContext before stabbing the Countdown monster with the Dragonzord Flute]]. Unlike Superboy-Prime, however, he makes it sound ''awesome''.

** Lewis' father plays his older self in the review of ''Superman vs. The Terminator''. Later, his whole family shows up as the ghosts from Literature/AChristmasCarol.

** He tries to burn ''Comicbook/JLAActOfGod'', but both his gun and his lighter vanish.

** [[spoiler: Creator/FrankMiller's ''Comicbook/HolyTerror'']] gets this treatment in his 300th episode, with the explanation that, while he believes you can do with your comics what you wish, he believes his copy deserves to burn.

** LINKARA'S BELLOWING OF THE [[{{Comicbook/Doom}} DOOM COMIC'S]] DIALOGUE IS ESSENTIALLY THE Wrestling/{{ULTIMATE WARRIOR}} [[UpToEleven TURNED UP TO 11]], '''[[VerbalTic HOAK HOGAN]]'''!!!

* LimitedWardrobe: He usually wears the same combination of jacket, plaid/black shirt and hat. (although he's shown off his Franchise/StarTrek uniform collection... and the Series/PowerRangersZeo version of his reviewer wardrobe!)

** Linkara also plays a number of {{Drop In Character}}s, including obnoxious X-TREEM teenager '90s Kid (and counterparts '60s Kid and '80s Chick), lounge singer Harvey Finevoice, evil robot doppelganger Mechakara, the mysterious Phantasm, the unfraggable [[VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce Ensign Munro]], {{antihero}} Comicbook/{{Cable}}, Ninja-Style Dancer, Dr. Linksano, and Holo!Linkara.

* MadnessMantra: [[ComicBook/{{Final Crisis}} "ANTI-LIFE JUSTIFIES MY HATE!"]]
* MalevolentArchitecture: Noted numerous times throughout his LetsPlay of ''[[VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]

* MindScrew: The conclusion of the ComicBook/SilentHill Dead/Alive review, somewhat appropriately. In his review of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Detective Comics #27]], Linkara notes that he does not have to do his Origins Month introduction every time because he could simply edit in a previous instance and we would ''never'' know. He then grins and remarks "how's that for a mind screw?".

** In his ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' review of that series' Green Ranger arc, he considers the mood whiplash between serious storyline with silly credits to be moreso than Series/BlakesSeven.

** Among the 15 comics he would not review was the infamous Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}. He stated that he wished he had never heard of it and refused to give it any publicity (through he quicly did a mini-review on it for two minutes straight).

** In the Youmacon live review of ''Manga/MarvelMangaverse: Spider-Man'' #1, Linkara brings up ''Comicbook/SpiderManReign''[[note]]both comics were by the same author[[/note]] and mentions the fact that in that story, [[BestKnownForTheFanservice Mary Jane died from exposure to Peter's radioactive sperm]]. He then follows up with one of these.

** HotterAndSexier: One of his main complaints with DC Comics' business model is how almost every female character is drawn in an anatomically incorrect way in a [[FetishRetardant failed attempt to be arousing]]. Averted in his ''Plan 9'' review, where he says the trope ''works'' in the context of the comic as it's trying [[GenreThrowback to emulate campy 50s]] [[BMovie B Movies]].

-->'''On Comicbook/EarthTwo in The Culling: Teen Titans Annual #1:''' ''Enjoying it, but I'm very sick of "government doesn't trust superheroes" crap.''

* PowerOfLove - Points out in Franchise/CareBears #13 that they are literally attacking people with the power of love...

** In his Franchise/PowerRangers comic review, he starts talking about [[http://www.myspace.com/henshin-vault the prop maker]] he bought his Dragon Dagger from, ending with the web address onscreen and Mechakara calling him out on it.

* FoeYay:[[invoked]] Discussed with regards to the Linkara/Dr. Insano relationship, which the actors are very well aware is extrapolated by the fandom.
--> "What are you doing?! [[LampshadeHanging You are giving the slash-ficcers material!"]]
** Linkara points out the Super Ninja in ''Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos'' #1 is unleashing his hatred of Chuck Norris… by punching a huge portrait of him.

* GlobalIgnorance: * Linkara is infamous for making several errors in location for his reviews. For example, the "Kamandi: At Earth's End #2" review had him wrongly criticize the writer for stating Hackensack, New Jersey was west of New York City, only for [[MadScientist Doctor Linksano]] to pop up and correct him on that mistake. Unlike most examples of the trope, Linkara's well-aware of his poor geographical skills and has made said ignorance a [[SelfDeprecation Self-Deprecating]] RunningGag.

* LOL69: The video about the second half of the original ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'' run plays with this issues 69 saw the debut of the infamous BodyHorror-laden fusion of Megatron and Ratchet -- with one of Linkara's comments being "this is not nice!"

** DroppedABridgeOnHim: Frequently becomes StuffedIntoTheFridge in the universe of the show (if not the comic he's reviewing).

* LOL69: The video about the second half of the original ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'' run plays with this issues 69 saw the debut of the infamous BodyHorror-laden fusion of Megatron and Ratchet -- with one of Linkara's comments being "this is not nice!"

** ''New Defenders #2'' was the comic that introduced Snowflame. Linkara's voice as he reads the character's lines is like a menacing drug lord, far different from the insane Randy Savage-inspired portrayal Will gave him when he became a character on the show.

* FantasticAesop: Described in his ''New Guardians'' #2 review.

* NumberOfTheBeast: Linkara reviewed ''Marvel Super Special #1'' for his 666th episode, specifically choosing it due to a scene where the members of Music/{{Kiss}} fight off against Mephisto and his army of demons.

** 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.]]

** He points out that this can ruin some of the few seemingly good parts of ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis''. Most notably, he admits that when the Monitor Bob made his FaceHeelTurn, he originally found it an exciting and interesting twist, but thinking more on it (and rereading the earlier issues) made him realise that Bob's betrayal made ''no'' sense when matched up to everything he had been doing before, and [[ShockingSwerve pretty much came out of nowhere]].
