History Heartwarming / AtopTheFourthWall

* The "Longbox of the Damned" review of "Children of the Grave." The deep, emotional story gets Moarte to muse on how real life dark events have no upside to them, and wish we all find ourselves "in peace."

* During the "Longbox of the Damned" review of ''Alien: The Illustrated Story,'' when the story comes to Ripley going back for Jones, we cut to Moarte holding and stroking [[{{CuteKitten}} Starfire.]]
-->'''Moarte:''' Yeah, I'd go back for one of these, too.

* Linkara praises "Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits" despite his dislike of John Constantine and Garth Ennis' work, seeing it as a story about a man learning he's going to die and dealing with that. He also brings up that Ennis would later describe Constantine as someone who throws friends and loved ones under the bus for his own survival, but in this particular story, Linkara sees him instead as someone with the good fortune to survive when his friends did not, and subsequently suffering survivor's guilt about it. Finally, Linkara ends the review by musing that, if he learned he was dying, he would go about it the same way Constantine did; Maybe not trying to cheat death like him, but go around and spend his final moments with friends, ensuring that when he does go out, he goes out with a smile.

** He then does another Vlog with her, this time on {{Film/Sinister}}. It's especially heartwarming because he already had done a vlog on it, and did it a second time to get her input on it.
* The opening of his collab review with WebVideo/MarzGurl on ''Film/CoolWorld''. He comes to her asking for assistance against Dr. Insano, but the second he finds out that she tried to watch the movie on her own, he immediately drops what he’s doing and sits down to review it with her, because as he put it, “The only way to watch something like ''Cool World'' is with a friend”.

* When Linkara plans to go take care of the problem himself, his friends offer to help him. Saying that unlike other producers, he hasn't tricked them into anything.
* The conversation that WebVideo/MarzGurl and Linkara have during Part 3. The former assuring Linkara he can trust them.
* The scene with Marzgurl & Pollo. Marzgurl admits that it is getting a bit much, but when Pollo questions why she does not use the Scout Ship to return to Earth, her response...
-->'''Marzgurl:''' Because my friends are in trouble and they need my help. When people need my help, I'm going to be them for them!
* Seeing Joe sleeping with the bear that Linkara says was a big part of his childhood. That is surprisingly sweet.
* The scene where Linkara refinds his purpose and Allen is revived.
* Linkara and his friends firing the magic gun. The power of friendship is strong here, no doubt.
* Linkara using the field to revive the astronaut Mechakara killed.
* Linkara at the end, saying his opening line. Reminding us all that he is going to keep doing what he loves doing.
* Lupa getting to know and learning to respect 90's Kid, formerly known as Evelyn.

-->'''Marzgurl''': "Because my friends are in trouble and they need my help. When people need my help, I'm going to be them for them!".

* One of Linkara's biggest issues with the ''Sandman'' story ''A Game of You'' is its treatment of Wanda. While he acknowledges the comic as FairForItsDay for depicting a trans woman as sympathetic and heroic, he's also not at all happy about said trans woman suffering, dying, and being posthumously misgendered, deadnamed, and disrespected by her asshole family, all to give the main character some more pathos (though her friend uses Wanda’s favourite lipstick to write her true name on the gravestone and Wanda gets to leave with Death looking as she always saw herself).

* During part 3 of the ''[[Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} Cassandra Caintrospective]]'', despite brutally tearing into [[ExecutiveMeddling the incredibly callous decisions to make her evil in]] [[DorkAge the One Year Later plot]], Linkara still takes the time to discuss fan entitlement and point out how [[{{Misblamed}} the violent vitriol Adam Beechen received for it was undeserved]]. He also gives Beechen praise for later actually coming back [[AuthorsSavingThrow to rectify his plot and characterization mistakes]], outright saying Beechen deserves more credit for having the willingness to fix them when another writer probably wouldn't even bother.

* There's something warm-fuzzy inducing about how one of the first people Linkara calls for help is Creator/ApolloZHack, if even on a meta-level after all that has gone down.
* Linkara racing to hug Liz after she returns to existence.
** After spending the whole review bashing ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}: Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' mercilessly, Linkara finally declares that it doesn't actually suck; it's something that was never meant to stand up to his style of in-depth analysis and is a fun time with a good introduction to the main protagonist, exactly like a first issue is supposed to be.

** {{Meta}}: Starfire has no problem with Lewis in full Moarte makeup and gear.
* For fans of ''Film/TheLastJedi'', seeing Linkara whole-heartedly defending the (at the time) most divisive Star Wars movie just feels good, the way it feels good to have a person you admire be on your side in an argument. And, while he speaks highly of the movie, he still takes the time to rip the comic to shreds for not doing a good job of retelling it.

* On their ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' commentary, Liz finally catches that she keeps including herself when she talks about the people behind Website/ChannelAwesome. Linkara replies "You're a part of my show, so you're a part of the site."
* In the commentary for the Lord Vyce finale, Liz laments that the opening scene was shot while her hair was wet. Linkara: "I think your hair is pretty." Yeah, it has a joke delivery, but it's still a sweet sentiment.
* His Thanksgiving greeting on Twitter, addressing his family (including Iron Liz) and his fans as the things he's thankful for.
* After Lewis and WebVideo/IronLiz ended their romantic relationship, he had this to say on his Twitter:
-->"I'd also like to note that if anyone makes any rude or terrible comments to @[=IronLiz=] in light of this news, I will not be kind in return."
** Just the fact that they're still friends and he still cares about her is aaaaw-inducing.
** Particularly the contrast to Spoony's TearJerker of a breakup earlier in the year. You don't see any posts about being left in a dark place and unable to summon the energy to make videos out of this one.
** He gave her a sweet little farewell moment in the show, too; as Liz and Linkara talk quietly about Pollo at the end of the ''Wrath of Khan'' review, Liz's last appearance, he says that she's accomplished a lot and that Pollo always thought very highly of her.
* Linkara started up a fund to get WebVideo/MarzGurl a new computer because, in his own words, [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/31992305145 'I, however, am sick of seeing my friend in pain']]. That's a crowning moment of heartwarming if ever I saw one.
** To make it even more heartwarming, he outright told his fans to not give more than 1 dollar because he knew that he had more than enough people who would be willing to help. Not only that, but he then had tell people that they could stop donating, because she raised enough money for the computer and more! So it's a CMOH for both his fans and Linkara himself.
* In a video posted by Vincent E.L. AKA the guy who composed the series theme song, an insulting comment towards Linkara, prompts the uploader to respond:
--> '''Vincent E.L.:''' He's never been anything but nice to me.
* A Real Life example is how Lewis frequently retweets people's Tweets on Twitter, whether because they're raising money for charity or are just celebrating their birthday. Really shows how much the dude cares about his fanbase.
* Part of Linkara's episode-to-episode production process includes showing each episode to his parents to critique it. The DVD has a delightful snippet of them laughing as they watch one and noting that yes, they sing along to their sons theme song.
* [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/statuses/378939331986984960 This tweet]]. 'That is all' indeed.
* Lewis's pure fanboy glee over the tease for the Infinity Gauntlet in the mid-credits scene of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''.
* [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/76474853323 Dear Professor Oak...]]
* His hope that Ms. Marvel will get to be part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
** Especially awesome because his hope has come true; according to Marvel's reveal of [[http://www.chipandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/20141028_112941.jpg their lineup,]] we're getting a ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' movie in 2019, and the Captain Marvel involved is going to be Carol Danvers!
* [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/136554914698 Linkara and Viga are engaged!]]
* On June 30th, he goes to twitter to talk about his progress on working on a review of ''ComicBook/CivilWar''. But he says that he doesn't know if he can actually talk about it, because he doesn't know if he can be funny while doing it. At this point, he goes into how he doesn't just want to be seen complaining about elements he doesn't like. He needs to bring in humor to make everything more interesting and not a total drag.
* Linkara being [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/886670041831403520 supportive]] about the 13th Doctor being a woman.
* As of November 12th, 2017, Lewis and Viga are officially married!
** The fact that Lewis keeps his wedding ring on even while in character.
* Despite the fact Lewis left Channel Awesome on March 24 2018, he still mentions things he enjoyed such as the anniversary specials, meeting reviewers that he is now friends with, and even met Viga while on the site. It's saddening yes, but at least Lewis still acknowledges that he had fun while on the site.
** Later on, he tells his followers not to hassle any producers still on Channel Awesome as he knew they had their own reasons for staying.
** When WebVideo/TheBlockbusterBuster resigned a few weeks later and posted a video explaining why, he said Lewis was a continual supporter, both on-camera and behind-the-scenes, and kept him in the loop when no one else would so his exit would be an informed decision.
* During the movie commentary section of the 500th episode celebration livestream, Lewis expresses regret for losing his temper trying to block the final fight with Mechakara, admitting that he wasn't explaining very well. [[Creator/AllisonPregler Allison]] is quick to assure Lewis that all is forgiven and forgotten.
* For all his jokes about being a jerk, as well as the story arc that explored his potential for turning evil, Linkara has truly become a kinder and more sensitive person since he started his show.
** In the beginning, he often made [[SuicideAsComedy suicide jokes]] and used terms like "heroic spaz attack," but those stopped before too long, especially after he learned the term "spastic" is also used in the [=UK=] as a derogatory term for people with cerebral palsy. On his show, he wants to be inclusive and will only attack people for things like bad creative work or questionable ethics.
** On the subject of suicide, following his remarks in his review of ''Superman #701,'' he admits that he doesn't have nor did he understand depression at the time he made those remarks. While he does defend his critiques on how poorly-handled the entire scene is, he sincerely apologizes for the hurtful remarks he made.
** In his review of Gold Key's ''Star Trek #1'', when the comic uses the term "triggered," he advises his audience not to go for the low-hanging fruit, especially since they're smart enough to know the term is an important psychological one, and that only douchebags co-opt the term just so they can be assholes.
* A minor one but during his first review of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' IDW Comics, Linkara notes that while he has seen the series (in part thanks to his then girlfriend-now wife Viga), he himself isn't a fan but is fine with the fanbase. Considering how Channel Awesome (at the time before Lewis left) had a rather love-hate relationship with bronies (with those like [=JesuOtaku=], Nash, and ''especially'' Bennett the Sage hating the fanbase), hearing Lewis well at the fanbase is heartwarming, especially considering he would later on review another comic afrerwards (ala Patreon).
** It becomes a bit more heartwarming since his now wife Viga ''is a Pegasister herself''.
* "I have a very important announcement for you. An announcement that is going to... ''shock'' everything, ''change'' the future of this channel... peoples of the internet, ''please attend carefully'', [[WhamLine the message that follows]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis is vital to the future of you all...]] [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/QsX76BO5o6o We got cats!]]]]"
** The outpouring of support when one of the cats (who was practically a kitten at the time) got sick while Lewis and Viga were away is one for the fanbase. Viga opened emergency commissions to raise money for the vet bills, and then had to close the commissions within the day, as the slots were swiftly filled up. It's even better because the cat recovered fast.
** It's now common for the cats to roam around the set during reviews. While any other reviewer might edit them out, Lewis lets them come and go as they please, even incorporating them into gags and petting them.
* Many, many years after the character's last appearance, Lewis was asked about the current affairs of Lester B. Bum (the parody of [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum]] he created for an April Fools video very early in his reviewer career, and who had shown up only about one time since for a crossover with Chester). Lewis [[https://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/633257516963332097 responded]] that Lester has since gotten off the streets and turned his life around thanks to some good social programs, and now "works for Coca-Cola restocking vending machines and couldn’t be happier."
* Linkara wishing the best to WebAnimation/DrCrafty after he decided to retire from making the title cards for the show. Just a very nice moment after 12 years of seeing the work.

[[folder:Reviews]]
* His speech on why he likes Franchise/{{Superman}}.
-->'''Linkara:''' Superman is kind and decent! Superman saved the world from the anti-god, Mageddon! Superman beat Solaris the Tyrant Sun, and ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}, and yes, even Hitler in the golden age! Superman always followed his principles, even when the world told him not to! Superman even [[HeroicSacrifice gave his life to save others,]] both in [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman regular continuity,]] and in [[ComicBook/AllStarSuperman his excellent All-Star series.]]
* The end of his Extreme Christmas review.
-->'''Linkara:''' So let me just end this Holiday Clustercrap with this... Merry Christmas, and happy holidays from ''Atop the Fourth Wall''.
* Linkara and Iron Liz hugging while kicking ass against Lord Vyce's shades. Knowing they were a real life couple makes it all the sweeter.
* ''Blue-Skying'', his ComicBook/BlueBeetle retrospective series, is full of it. It's clear he shows a deep appreciation for all iterations of the superhero, which is a wonderful change of pace from his usual criticisms.
** The conclusion of his Blue Beetle review month is a beautifully optimistic summation of the entire mythos:
--> "All throughout this retrospective, people have had one question. Why the hell is this called 'Blue-Skying?' While as a verb, the term means 'to hold or express unrealistic or impractical views,' I prefer the adjective of just 'blue-sky,' namely, 'not limited by conventional notions of what is practical or feasible,' 'imaginary,' or 'visionary.' And that's what the Blue Beetle is to me. [[LegacyCharacter Every one of his incarnations]]: [[BadassNormal be it the police officer of the Fox comic,]] [[AdventureArchaeologist the dashing archaeologist exploring ancient tombs,]] [[BadassBookworm the powerless genius with a sense of humor,]] [[BadPowersGoodPeople or the teenage boy who turned a weapon of mass destruction into a tool for good;]] always had something imaginative about them. Keith Giffen had thought that a name like "Blue Beetle" was akin to parody, something too goofy to take seriously; and yet [[LongRunners for seventy years the character endured and prospered.]] Beyond all practical reason or conventional thought about what made a traditional superhero, the Blue Beetle time and time again rose above those expectations to show that it's never about the powers, the smarts, the wealth, or even the people you've been friends with, [[ComesGreatResponsibility it's about the person behind the mask, the one who wears the suit, and the Blue Beetle in all his various incarnations over the years has worn it well.]] And that, my friends, is Blue-Skying."
** Similarly, his {{Squee}}ing over ''Series/DoctorWho'' in his Doctor Who Classics #7 review.
** And he does it again with his unadulterated gushing over ''Film/{{Star Trek II|The Wrath of Khan}}''. It's ''fun'' to see him happy!
* The anti-rape rant in Action Comics #593. It's also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
* Everyone from Website/ChannelAwesome singing his theme song]at the end of his 100th episode. Really shows how beloved he is.
* In ''Silent Hill Dead/Alive'', the spirit of the girl who was tortured and murdered to make the Magic Gun breaking Linkara out of his {{Gaslighting}} and telling him he wasn't responsible.
** To go along with that, Linkara's sincere apology to her saying anything he can do won't make up for what he did driving him to suicide
*** The fact that the Girl called him "partner" and "friend" to get him to stop.
*** Also, the voice actor for the Magic Gun was That Chick With The Goggles. She missed her chance to be in the 100th episode, so Lewis gave her the chance to.
* The end of the ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians'' video, with Linkara, Liz, Pollo, Tom Servo, and Bear on the couch, wishing us a Merry Christmas.
* In the Top 15 Screwups video, he griped plenty about all the comments he got from fans correcting him (on stuff like Schrödinger's cat, Naked News and the Kool-Aid Man in space). And yet, he followed up by sort of thanking everyone for commenting. Even with all the redundant statements he reads through, Linkara still appreciates them, that so many people watch his show and are willing to talk this much about it.
* The CrowdSong rendition of the theme at the beginning of the live ''Atari Force'' review.
** Hell, the entire video is a CMOH. It's clear as day that everyone there was having a blast, it's almost palpable, especially when the audience starts contributing to the jokes.
* In the final installment of his ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice'' review, when it gets to the point in the story where a side character who had no influence on the story whatsoever was killed. This character also happened to be a little girl. He then devoted a small portion of the video to rant about what an atrocity that was, even to the exclusion of the other bad things that happened in the comic.
-->"It is sickening to think that a child character is killed like this. A child who had no bearing on the proceedings of the story. A child whose father has just been ''maimed''! A child who served no purpose in this story but to be a ''shock'' moment for the readers. It is ''despicable''."
** Speaking of which, during the first part of his ''Rise of Arsenal'' review, he refuses to show the scene where it shows what it must have been like to her, especially since the scene shows her '''crying and struggling''', stating that if she isn't brought back in the relaunch, he will lose even more respect for DC then from the act itself.
* Linkara snapping out of his HeroicBSOD and realizing how to beat Vyce, with the triumphant music even playing over the V-minus countdown.
** On top of this, Iron Liz trying to make her boyfriend feel better at the beginning of the review.
* Linkara telling Lord Vyce to respect Iron Liz after Lord Vyce calls her an "unimportant whelp.", even ''whacking him over the head with the Clue Stick''.
-->'''Linkara:''' [That woman stands beside me and fights for this universe with as much bravery and courage as any Champion. You're in ''my'' house, Vyce, and YOU ''WILL'' SHOW HER ''RESPECT!''
** Also, Finevoice helping Munro up after he's been knocked out and tossed aside.
** Linkara giving Liz his old Morpher before the final fight with Vyce, considering how important the thing was to him it was a good moment.
** It may be a minor thing, but... Angry Joe and his army assisting Linkara by taking out Vyce's Shades--and Linkara personally thanking him afterwards. Especially when you remember that Linkara told Joe he didn't like him during WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}.
* This may be a stretch, but the fact that he hates ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' not just because it was a horrible, nonsensical story that had derailed ComicBook/SpiderMan; but also because of the simple fact that it broke up one of his favorite comic book couples.
* His completely open admittance that he loves Franchise/{{Superman}}'s goody-goody philosophy, in both the intro and conclusion of ''Superman: At Earth's End'', complete with the Superman music playing in the background.
* While reviewing ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'', he's usually either horrified or just plain pissed off at the relentlessly incompetent and mean-spirited story...but every time Captain America shows up, he completely geeks out about how awesome he is, even in a story like this.
* After reviewing ''Gameboy #1'', Linkara informs us that there are more issues than just the one comic. Instead of his usual disgust, we see an abosolute joy that he will be able to revisit this comic series. In his own words, "[[SoBadItsGood This comic sucks... but it's SO much fun in its stupidity!]]"
* What was the first question Linkara asks Wately before he lets The Girl judge him? Her name. It has been lost sadly but the gesture is incredibly heartwarming.
* There's something warm-fuzzy inducing about how one of the first people Linkara calls for help is Creator/ApolloZHack, if even on a meta-level after all that has gone down.
* Linkara racing to hug Liz after she returns to existence.
** After spending the whole review bashing ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}: Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' mercilessly, Linkara finally declares that it doesn't actually suck; it's something that was never meant to stand up to his style of in-depth analysis and is a fun time with a good introduction to the main protagonist, exactly like a first issue is supposed to be.
* Linksano's Cybermat refusing to hurt Linkara. "What can I say, robots love me."
** "Who's a cute little Cybermat? You are!"
* Linkara asks Pollo if it's possible he could end up like Mechakara:
-->'''Linkara:''' Look, if you've ever felt that I've mistreated you, or any other machines-
-->'''Pollo:''' You have not. You have given me incredible freedom. I can come and go as I please, and I am a paid producer for your show. In return, you have repaired me, offered upgrades, and even volunteered to construct for me a new body. I have been, and always shall be, your friend.
-->(beat)
-->'''Linkara:''' Thank you.
** Which turns into a {{Foreshadowing}} WhamLine when you consider where '''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan else]]''' that line was used...
* From the end of the ''Wrath of Khan'' videos, Linkara realizes that Pollo's still alive somewhere on Earth, and vows to find him.
** There's also a little FridgeBrilliance involved: The credits lack the usual "The End" text. This isn't over yet.
* Actually all of Linkara's glorious geekery involved with reviewing the ''Wrath of Khan'' comic adaptation. It was basically an excuse to [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike praise one of his favorite movies to the high heavens]], and even the plot of the arc was essentially an adaptation of the ''Wrath of Khan''. His main criticism of the comic was that it failed to live up to the original movie, and he even admitted that apart from some scary artwork the comic itself wasn't half-bad on its own.
* Specifically refusing to review ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' in its entirety because he realizes that it's a polarizing comic, and doesn't want to make the fans feel bad.
** In the same video, there's also his explanation of how poorly handled Sue Dibny's [[RapeAsDrama rape]] at the hands of Dr. Light was, and how insulting it was to see such mature subject matter handled in such an immature manner and used simply for "shock value."
* After telling Linksano to go into Engineering near the end of the ''Youngblood #4'' review, Linkara follows with this:
-->"Oh, and if there's a [[CallBack radiation leak]], ''don't be a hero''!"
* The reunion with Pollo in the ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' review.
** Earlier in the review, the sheer fact that Linkara gave command of one of Comicron-1's self-destruct codes to NIMUE, and her willingness to use it to prevent Lord Vyce from taking over. Pollo wasn't kidding when he said that Linkara truly respects robots and other machines.
* Linkara's [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutCharactersYouLike blatant hero worship]] for Creator/MrT when he reviews ''Mr. T #1'' and ''#2''. Even though he does make fun of Mr. T's cornier stuff, you get the sense that he really respects the guy and gets absolutely outraged when a [[EliteMook big mook]] in the comics manages to defeat him.
* His reaction to ''ComicBook/{{Marville}} #2'' when it remarks that police officers just send homeless people to shelters and arrive when the criminals have already left: he angrily responds that over one hundred police officers are killed every year in the United States in the line of duty.
* When revealing the winners of the Pollo design contest, he takes time to discuss/gush about the other designs he liked but were passed over for various reasons. He then finishes the episode with a montage of ''every entry he received''.
* Plugging the Snowflame webcomic as part of his Snowflame PSA running gag.
** Snowflame's PSA after he watches ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', where he states that the only thing better than invading a military base... Is invading a military base ''with a friend'', with what seems to be complete sincerity.
* His ''Series/BlakesSeven #2'' review, which is less comic review and more SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike. He even says that the comic's decent, but he's reviewing it because "When else will I get the chance to talk about ''Blake's 7''?"
* Refusing any and all deals to remove ''One More Day'' from history, since that would be just as lazy as OMD itself. Instead, he wants the mistakes of the story to be expunged naturally through character and plot development.
** Let's not forget the beginning of the review, where he talks about the fact that his fans stuck around for 200 episodes, and questioned what he could possibly review for such an occasion. Then, with the sincerest of smiles, he says "Okay, what the hell, let's review ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay''", reviewing the one thing that people have been wanting him to review for the longest time, and a comic which he stated on several occasions that he would never review, which shows that he's willing to do that for his fans.
** His EPIC speech calling out Joe Quesada and/or Creator/JMichaelStraczynski for blatantly insulting their fanbase by calling people who enjoy escapist fantasy losers who can't be heroes in RealLife. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
* At the end of the ''Future Shock'' review, Harvey yelling at Holokara for threatening to kill '90s Kid, even though he thinks '90s kid is a moron. It's moments like these that show that Linkara and his friends, despite misgivings and differences, really are TrueCompanions.
* In ''Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham'', he admits that his hatred of creators doesn't extend that deep to them personally. Quesada he compliments on making Marvel a top selling business, and Creator/RobLiefeld for his enthusiasm for comics, and his splitting to form Image Comics with some other writers helped to revolutionize creator rights. [[Funny/AtopTheFourthWall2012Episodes Frank Miller and Gary Brodsky though, he states that he just hates.]]
* Finally learning the girl who was killed to make the Magic Gun is named Margaret.
* When Linkara ''finally'' ''meets'' Margaret for the first time - in her original human form - at the end of ''Psychoman #1''. It's just so ''awesome'' to see him and his most constant companion and weapon ''finally'' interact, with him even saying "I'd love to talk to you more often like this, if it's possible." The whole thing was a parallel to a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode called "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife The Doctor's Wife]]", which had a very similar incident - a male hero meeting the one constant companion they have (an inanimate object, but has a female spirit and consciousness inside it) in human form- between the Doctor and the TARDIS.
** When Linkara meets Margaret and starts pressing Margaret for answers, trying to figure out how to make things better, asking if it means it means he has to act like a goody two shoes all the time - not able to get angry, make mistakes, take shortcuts, lie, or raise his voice to anyone- Margaret says ""Of course not- no one's perfect." and that he just has to be more mindful of himself and others.
** When he says Margaret should kill him so he can't get any worse, she refuses, saying he's her friend, and "You don't leave your friend when they're in trouble. You help them, try to make them better." When Linkara asks ""And if you ''can't'' save me?" Margaret says that even if she can't save him, at least she'll have ''tried''.
** When Linkara says "I think I'm ready to go home," Margaret just says "I'm already home."
* After his triumphant return from WalkingTheEarth, Linkara tells his allies that he's not worried at all that he might turn evil, since they'll always be there to keep him from it.
* In his ''Superman #701'' review, when a woman who wants to commit suicide is giving her contrived FreudianExcuse, Linkara makes a quick joke about it. But to avoid it being tasteless, he ''immediately'' says that suicide and depression are serious issues and they deserve to be treated seriously, he just says that the comic doesn't have the faintest idea about the issue so that's why he made the joke.
* During his review of ''Power and Responsibility'' for his four year anniversary, he states that he's glad that Spider-Man is a member of the Avengers, even though he previously talked about how Spidey refuses to act like an adult in his ''One More Day'' review. Linkara says that he earned his spot in the Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
* At the end of the ''Thing from Another World'' arc, Linkara, reeling from a psychic blast, unhesitatingly throws ''the Magic Gun'' over to '90s Kid so he can use it to take out the enemy. When Linkara said he trusted them all, he ''meant'' it.
* His utter joy at ''WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror #2'' giving him the opportunity to belt out "The Policeman's Song" from ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', given his little anecdote about having played the sergeant of police.
* Him remarking that he has held off on using the drunk Tony Stark voice in the mainstream Marvel universe, because he doesn't want to be insensitive, given that that version of him has struggled with alcoholism...even if he proceeded to start using that voice for his review of ComicBook/IronMan's first comic (Tony hadn't confronted his alcoholism ''yet'' at that point).
* Leaping to the defense of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} in ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold #54''.
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic in "Archie Giant Series Magazine #452". He's now the ghost of Christmas Past as well as the PlotHole, and he shows once more that he's grown up and has matured into selflessly looking after people.
** [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/550a1deb3aaedff76a9dd63803c9c7ad/tumblr_meunmhzcU41rpew38o1_500.jpg Doug's inability to take his ring off.]] Can you be married to the universe?
** Him actually having a job that he enjoys and doesn't want to half-ass for once is {{squee}}ful in and of itself.
** His kind, peaceful goodbye of "My time is over now."
** In the same episode, the reason Harvey is always helping and staying with Linkara, which is as heartwarming as it is [[TearJerker depressing]].
* Then, in "Teen Titans #13", Harvey says this regarding Linkara: Jeez, ''my kid'' knows how to pick 'em. This can be interpreted that Harvey regards Linkara as a surrogate son as opposed to just a friend.
** This is confirmed in the very next review.
* The ''ComicBook/BatmanNoel'' review:
** The Ghost of Christmas Future helping Harvey through his issues.
** The review ends with Harvey performing a rendition of [[Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol "With A Thankful Heart"]].
* The message posted to Harvey's twitter account that Christmas Eve, just after he'd finally let Charlie's death go and returned to his family in the apartment.
--> "[=@Dude90sKid=] has ''[[Film/DieHardWithAVengeance Die Hard 3]]'' on. I'm gonna watch it with him before bedtime... It's funny. I haven't felt this warm in a long time."
* His completely sincere, thorough and well-thought-out apology for being too callous on the subject of depression, admitting that he is entirely at fault. He points out the many things still wrong with the scene, but again says his words were still inappropriate and apologizes anyway for much of what he said. It also extends to his use of "spastic" a la "Spastic Boy Prime" for Superboy Prime, a running gag originating from his text reviews, which he apologizes for earlier in the episode.
* As if he hasn't done enough to show he has gone a long way from his SmallNameBigEgo personality, he states that most, if not all of the other Channel Awesome shows are very good, and at the very least, watchable. Compare that to his Theme Song competition video, where he barely acknowledges anyone else on the site.
** And also {{Tranquil Fury}}-asking Douchey why he even misses Critic when he did nothing but treat him like shit all the time.
* After his long tirade against Creator/RobLiefeld and Youngblood, Linkara immediately apologizes for the rant and ensures his viewers that he isn't specifically angry at them.
* From the same episode, we have his utter desperation to get Margaret back from The Gunslinger. Showing [[PapaWolf just how much he cares for her.]]
** Harvey Finevoice also gets a moment at the beginning of the episode. When Linkara says that Margaret's been taken, he clearly has no idea what the kid's talking about. And frankly, most people would be a bit more questioning towards a guy who apparently names his gun. But does Harvey care? No. All that matters to him is that whatever is going on is important to Linkara and he's going to be right there by his side.
* Creator/NoahAntwiler's appearance in the ''Star Wars 3D #1'' review, given his exit from Channel Awesome. And it wasn't just a cameo, Lewis got him over to his house just to shoot that one episode.
* Linkara sincerely apologizing to The Gunslinger for trapping him in this universe and preventing him from saving his home. Even going so far as to willingly give The Gunslinger the Magic Gun (Which by this point has become one of his closest friends.) In order to prove his desire to help. A move that convinces The Gunslinger to do a HeelFaceTurn.
** Expanding on this, After the fight against Dr. Insano, Linkara promises to help free The Gunslinger's people using all his resources, even going so far as to call The Gunslinger a friend and repeat the same words about helping your friends that Margaret said to him.
* A minor one: the fact that Linkara's favorite Teen Titan (''and'' favorite comic book character) is [[TheScrappy Danny Chase]].
* His number one reason for calling ''The Technis Imperative'' his favorite comic of all time: [[EverybodyLives NOBODY DIES]]. After all the outrage he's shown over absurd pieces of {{Dropped A Bridge On Him}}, it's great to see him dish out so much praise for this aspect. Topped off by the perfect ''Series/{{Doctor Who}}'' clip.
-->'''The Doctor:''' Just this once, EverybodyLives!
** The fact that he ''still'' has the very same trade paperback of the comic his mom got him in 5th grade.
* Just the way he starts off the Titans Team History and the ''Technis Imperative'' reviews. Linkara addresses his personal history and early exposure to comic books in such a profound, sincere and endearing fashion. Only reinforcing this further is the fact that such soft-spoken monologues slightly defer the opening line, "Hello, and welcome to ''Atop the Fourth Wall'', where bad comics burn".
* Saying the complaints about Creator/NichelleNichols' age during the fan dance scene in ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'' are ageist, and just distract from the real issue of how degrading it is to the character.
* When Pollo tells Linkara that maybe Nimue is losing it because she's overtaxed. It really shows that he knows how she feels because he's seen what he became from being driven mad by Linkara in the form of Mechakara and is worried she might become the same thing.
* Linkara praising the artwork of ''The Culling'' #2, saying it's amazing how much more fun it makes reading the book despite the story still being terrible.
* The adoration he shows for ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' while reviewing the comic sequel, seeing it as the epitome of SoBadItsGood from a very Giftedly Bad filmmaker.
* Jaeris apologizing for not explaining himself to Linkara, and Linkara in turn refusing to let him blame himself for how things ended up.
* The "Longbox of the Damned" review of "Children of the Grave." The deep, emotional story gets Moarte to muse on how real life dark events have no upside to them, and wish we all find ourselves "in peace."
* In his ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey #1'' review, before and after stating that he thinks Jack Kirby was a poor choice for the adaptation and ongoing series, he says that he has complete respect for the man.
* Linkara doesn't react very well, but Linksano's genuinely thoughtful Christmas gift for him. Especially the shot of him grinning and making "Isn't it awesome?" gestures.
* While he hates ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'', he will still praise Creator/JimLee's artwork in the reviews, feeling the guy does a really good job for a really poorly-written and poorly-paced comic, even taking time to note things like well-done architecture or details.
* The ''Superman: For the Animals'' review, finding a PSA that he felt for once was actually good and praises the idea of the story where a kid sent Superman a letter where he stood up to a bully. He also praised that the comic still had the kid initially get beat up by the bully when he stood up to him, and only stopped him by encouraging the other kids to join him, rather than just easily beating up the bully.
* Before the 300th episode starts, Lewis, as himself, not as Linkara, states while he's seen controversy appear in his comments, he feels that by and large his fans are kind and intelligent people.
** Lewis reiterating why ''Film/{{Camelot}}'' is his favorite movie, because it changed his life and inspired his personal philosophy of being a good, decent person who believes that violence isn't strength and compassion isn't weakness.
** He takes some time out to note that it's unfair that Frank Miller continues to get work as an artist, since he has seen fan art of his show that he felt was worthy of getting the artists work in the comic book industry.
** At the end of the episode, he thanks his friends and his fans for staying with ATFW for those 300 episodes.
* His adoration of the music in the notorious turkey ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}'', saying the only problem is the awkward way the songs are integrated into the film.
* His review of ''Sonic Super Special #7'', while he's not familiar with [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic]], he sympathizes with the comic's fanbase regarding the CosmicRetcon that rebooted over twenty years of continuity and removed characters created by Creator/KenPenders.
* The newly named Eliza is feeling guilty about taking too long to figure out she could trust Linkara, and reveal the truth about the Cybermats. Pollo's response:
-->"At the moment, you are a friend and ally. And that is most definitely appreciated."
* In his review of ''The Trial of Peter Parker'', he brings up how many readers were upset at the implication that the Peter Parker they had been following for the last twenty years wasn't [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman "the real one"]]. He explains his irritation about stories where people are so quick to disregard clones as people, despite that fact [[ClonesArePeopleToo they're still human beings regardless of how they were created.]]
* Linkara inviting Jaeris to Christmas dinner, insisting they can work on their problems some other day.
* The discovery that the mysterious woman was Jaeris' wife, here to tell him that the dystopia of his world collapsed under its own weight and things are getting better. Linkara's only complaint is having to reset the table arrangements.
** Jaeris and Joanna crossing their matching magic guns to show Linkara they are a couple.
* Jaeris promising to return all the magic guns he stole, much like the Grinch.
* Elisa's cameo as Maven of the Eventide in the Bloodlines review...with Grey. Apparently Maven has a child in-universe too, but it's still adorable. So much so that Linkara has apparently been told he needs more babies on the show.
* The final part of the ''Blue-Skying'' retrospective is the dreariest of the bunch as he goes over Jaime's poor treatment throughout the early days of the New 52 reboot. When he's done with the series, he brings up the ''Convergence'' tie-ins and seems overjoyed and relieved to say how good they were
** In particular, he is sent into full on party mode when he talks about the tie-in where Lian Harper is resurrected and reunited with Roy, thus undoing the atrocity that ''Cry for Justice'' committed and ''Rise of Arsenal'' made worse.
* Harvey wants Linkara to take a walk with him to take his mind off of 90s Kid's disappearance...and [[VideoGame/PokemonGo catch Magikarp]].
* In the second video of the ''The Thing from Another World'', there's something oddly sweet about Linkara naming an unnamed character.
-->"I name thee...[[FanNickname Señor Sunglasses!]]"
* In his ''Top 15 Screw-Ups of 2016'' video, he decides to balance out how shitty a year it's been by bringing up all the ''good'' stuff that's happened, both to the world at large and him personally.
* After the TearJerker that was it crashing on the Moon at the end of the ''Star Trek/Green Lantern'' review, the restoration of Comicron 1 to its former glory at the end of ''Comic Book Quickies'' #7.
* In ''Thunderbirds Are Go'', now that he's freed from his possession by the Entity, Linkara doesn't waste time in apologizing to 90's Kid [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone about the bad things the former said to the latter's perceived betrayal]], [[EasilyForgiven only for 90's Kid to say he took it all in stride]], [[NotHimself considering Linkara wasn't himself at the time]]. A quick reminder of Linkara's real character now that he's been freed from the Entity's negative influence.
** Sort of counts, but thereafter, the moment he comes face to face with Vyce, the two curtly acknowledge each other before ignoring that their animosity and go straight to discussing with their counterattack. It's not much but it also shows that they're both level-headed enough to know not to antagonize each other now that they have to work together. The fact that Vyce doesn't show objections to Linkara beaming down to go back home for the review helps.
* When The Entity finally admits that its life is meaningless and that it is dying it states that its alone and afraid. Linkara, very softly and gently, tells it that it's not alone, that he's there with it, and that it doesn't need to be afraid. The data god that nearly destroyed the world and turned Linkara into its puppet... gets compassion in its final moments from Linkara, who stays with it until it dies.
** When the Entity asks if there is something beyond this life Linkara says he believes so. When the Entity presses if he is wrong Linkara sincerely states then that one should try to have a good run at the very least.
* Preliminary round of the Contest of Champions is Linkara being forced into a mental battle. An apparition appears to explain what's going on, and, more importantly, help him rediscover his drive to do good, even after everything he did under the Entity's influence] And whose form does it take? 90's Kid. Not Harvey or Pollo, but 90's Kid. It goes to show that he does now truly respect the guy and holds nothing against him for working with Vyce, given the circumstances.
** After conquering the mental battle and being declared winner, his opponent goes up to him and warmly congratulates him, smiling, shaking his hand, wishing him luck and even greeting him "Happy Halloween". After all the previous gravity of the last few months, and even the first few segments of this arc, it's good to see everyone in high spirits again, most of all, Linkara.
* His utter Glee at the 10th anniversary of the show.
** Especially his speech toward Mirrorkara.
-->'''Linkara:''' You wanna know why I still have those posters up? Because they're a part of my past. They're part of what made me who I am. I don't just pretend that the last ten years didn't happen. I ''learn'' from both my mistakes and my triumphs to try to become better. You? You just became bitter and abusive. You let your past control you. You let it turn you into a monster.\\
'''Mirrorkara:''' [[HumansAreBastards Everyone is a monster!]] Give people enough free reign, and they'll always be like me!\\
'''Linkara:''' No. What you mean is that ''you'' would do that, because [[HumansAreGood people are good, and decent, and kind.]] You, however, are an asshole. And it pisses you off so much to see a world where you didn't become a jerkwad, [[NeverMyFault because you can't accept that you're just a complete and total]] ''[[{{Jerkass}} jackass!]]'' Ten years of fighting, of bad comics, of heartbreaks and toxic people. This entire year has been spent looking back on all that. But while you would let it consume you, I just can't wait to see what the next ten years will bring.
* A minor one, but Erin and Jaeris gleefully play-fighting with toy robots while Linkara is picking out a new outfit.
* His speech from the ending of his 500th episode toward an evil future WebVideo/{{Welshy}}, who was driven to revenge for Linkara never completing a crossover review that the two of them were working on.
-->'''Future!Welshy:''' This is game over for you, Linkara. The future is full of hardship and change for your friends and loved ones. Even your future has nothing to look forward to.\\
'''Linkara:''' Yeah, well, here's the problem: the future is all about change.\\
'''Future!Welshy:''' Yes. But it will change for the worst.\\
'''Linkara:''' Maybe, but in the end, that's the risk you take just by living. You make choices throughout your life and hope that, in the end, it'll all turn out right for you. 500 episodes ago, I chose to record myself doing a review of a Spider-Man comic, and look where that choice brought me.\\
'''Future!Welshy:''' It brought you to your doom.\\
'''Linkara:''' Yeah, but you also saw fit to show me that future, Welshy. [[ScrewDestiny And knowing how the future turns out, I can change it.]]\\
'''Future!Welshy:''' And yet nothing's changed. I'm still here and you will still end up in that dark and dangerous future five years from now and--\\
''Linkara calls present!Welshy''\\
'''Future!Welshy:''' What are you doing?\\
'''Linkara:''' Fixing the future.
* In his ''US-1 #7'' review, an issue that features [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the truck itself narrating and possibly going through some kind of low-key lonely existentialist crisis]], Linkara pauses for a second.
-->'''Linkara:''' Nimue?\\
'''Nimue:''' Online.\\
'''Linkara:''' You're a good spaceship.\\
'''Nimue:''' Confirmed.
* In his list of ''Top 15 Worst Comics I've Ever Reviewed''[[note]] That are not Holy Terror [[/note]], one of his selections is ''Future Five.'' Rather than digging into the comic's problems, he spends most of that section of the review assuring viewers that their lives will not end if they don't go to college, they don't need to have their entire future planned out by the time they're 25, and that they're not losers if they go into a regular job. When he was 25, he was selling patio furniture and Christmas trees, and only stopped because the store was closing. He finishes off by point out ''Future Five'' [[Catch22Dilemma actually tries to guarantee you will never achieve the future it wants you to by shaming you out of earning money]]. It's nothing more than a stupid, easily forgotten piece of propaganda that has unrealistic expectations for readers.
* In his review of ''Silent Hill: Hunger'', he noted that Scott Ciencin, the writer of the comics, sadly passed away in 2014. He actually said that even though he doesn't like the comics, he wishes he could have met the man in person, if only to ask him what the process behind writing the stories was. That is a true mark of respect, and he says it with the utmost sincerity.
* In the second episode of ''Secret Origins Month'' 2018, he debuts a nifty new logo for the event created by a fan and inspired by the Marvel Studios logo, immediately praising said fan for providing it (and providing a quick TakeThat to Website/YouTube's overzealous Content ID bots for forcing him to truncate the previous logo).
* In the ''Ultimate Power'' #5-6 review, he admits calling Joe Quesada a hack was out of line and acknowledges that Quesada was only trying to do what he thought was best for the character, even if Linkara and many others think he made the wrong call, and he states a creator shouldn't be condemned for a bad creative decision.
* During part 3 of the ''[[Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} Cassandra Caintrospective]]'', despite brutally tearing into [[ExecutiveMeddling the incredibly callous decisions to make her evil in]] [[DorkAge the One Year Later plot]], Linkara still takes the time to discuss fan entitlement and point out how [[{{Misblamed}} the violent vitriol Adam Beechen received for it was undeserved]]. He also gives Beechen praise for later actually coming back [[AuthorsSavingThrow to rectify his plot and characterization mistakes]], outright saying Beechen deserves more credit for having the willingness to fix them when another writer probably wouldn't even bother.
* During the "Longbox of the Damned" review of ''Alien: The Illustrated Story,'' when the story comes to Ripley going back for Jones, we cut to Moarte holding and stroking [[{{CuteKitten}} Starfire.]]
-->'''Moarte:''' Yeah, I'd go back for one of these, too.
** {{Meta}}: Starfire has no problem with Lewis in full Moarte makeup and gear.
* For fans of ''Film/TheLastJedi'', seeing Linkara whole-heartedly defending the (at the time) most divisive Star Wars movie just feels good, the way it feels good to have a person you admire be on your side in an argument. And, while he speaks highly of the movie, he still takes the time to rip the comic to shreds for not doing a good job of retelling it.
* His defense of ''Manga/{{Remina}}'''s ending as ultimately optimistic, at least for Remina. Yes, Earth is gone, humanity all but extinct, and Planet Remina will no doubt go on to devour more planets - but the main character is ''alive'', and found a group of decent and kindly people who aren't out to kill her. The fact that they've survived everything up to now is already a miracle - so whose to say they can't find another and survive?
* His ''entire'' speech at the end of the "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" review, where he explains that Superman is ''not'' a big, dumb brick who follows moral codes because that's what superheroes are "meant" to do. Superman has all the power in the world, all the power he could use to destroy and conquer and rule, but he instead chooses to use it to protect and be a good person. He ''could'' just murder every villain he encounters, and he ''has'' thought about it... and he decided it would be wrong. The Elite, on the other hand, ''didn't'' make that choice. They never considered it. They have all the powers of Superman, and they chose the easy route. They chose to use it to kill bad guys when they, with just a little imagination, could've used it to help people instead. Linkara's final words feel less directed at the comic, and more directed at the viewer.
-->"It's easy to look at the terrible things happening at any given point in history and see all the examples of greed, corruption and evil... But it's also easy to overlook the compassion. The decency. To see people being nice and good and wonderful! That's my "{{Deconstruction}}" of superheroes. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre People can be,]] [[HumansAreGood and are, kind]]. So why wouldn't someone with incredible abilities be kind too?"
* During the beginning of the review for ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' comic adaptation, Linkara emphasizes that people are allowed to like something that others don't (in this case the prequel films), viewers might not agree with his own review or opinions on the matter, and it's ''all okay.'' He also acknowledges that while a lot of the acting in the prequels is '''bad,''' that's more due to George Lucas and his directing choices than the actors -- and he's even fair to Lucas, not roasting him but instead pointing out that he's a director who's more interested in camera technology and the mechanics of film making, as opposed to actor's performances or writing dialogue. While Linkara ''also'' notes that Lucas should have recognized these shortcomings, and either tried to overcome them or gotten other people to help him as he did with the original trilogy, it's a very measured and understanding attitude; aided by the fact that Lewis himself knows how much responsibility a director holds.
** Later on in Part 1 of the review, he's quietly furious about the hate that Creator/JakeLloyd and Creator/AhmedBest received for playing Anakin and Jar Jar, stressing that hatred of a character should ''never'' be transferred to the actor.
** Linkara later says in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' that what he said about Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best also applies to Creator/HaydenChristensen, who did his best with what he was given to work with.
** In the review of the same movie, he talks about the flack Jar Jar gets in and out of universe in being an UnwittingPawn in proposing granting the extended powers Palpatine used to create the Empire and noted that he couldn’t have known what would have happened.
* The title card for the episode covering the ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' arc about Burai's death is a bittersweet one, showing Linkara and Burai's American counterpart [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Tommy Oliver]] mourning him.
* He is not kind to ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' but much like the above with the ''Star Wars'' prequels, he refuses to fault anybody for liking the comic or to treat his opinion as gospel, even acknowledging a positive review which he notes has a lot of good points he agrees with and links in the description.
* ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'':
** While ranting about his hatred of this event, he stops to remind everyone that as bad as the story is, they absolutely should ''not'' attack the creators, pointing out that Tom King received actual death threats over the story; he actually sounds just as, if not ''more'', angry about that then the terrible comic.
** He also opts not to do the "Combine Harvester" gag, like many were expecting, because he feels that it would be inappropriate while tackling a story wherein a hero has a legitimate mental breakdown.
** At one point, one of the cats jumps up on the futon, and Linkara starts petting her even while he is still ranting.
* Linkara's, and by extension Lewis's, growing love of ''US-1''. At the start of his reviews for the series, he is repeatedly baffled by the plot and frustrated with it's bizarreness. As of the review of issue 9... he's still repeatedly baffled by the plot but is thouroughly enjoying how ''buckwild'' the series gets.
* In his #1 entry in the Yet Another 15 Screw-Ups of [=AT4W=] video, he apologizes for hoping whose idea it was to have Lian Harper killed in ''Cry For Justice'' gets salt poured into their eyes, saying that he had crossed the line, there. He also uses this time to state that it is NEVER Okay to wish physical harm, torture or even death on someone just because of a bad comic.
* In his review of ''Youngblood Strikefile #2'' review, he reveals that he removed the Diehard part of his intro due to not wanting to include personal insults in his theme song and contributing to growing toxicity in fandoms.
* His review of ''Stanley and his Monster'' is absolutely glowing, with him showing glee at how clever the series is as it uses the innocence and naivate of a child to outwit demons.
* In his ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' retrospective, he says that after many of the other series he's done retrospectives on were cut short or had disappointing endings, it's good to see one that went out on a high note.
* In the ''Solo'' review, Linkara does a short bit about having bought a huge Millenium Falcon toy that he has no idea what to do with. Funny, but also sweet to see how big a fan he is of the ''Falcon'''s design, calling it "such a cool damn ship!"
* While he has some critical reevaluations concerning the work, it can't be understated how much Linkara is absolutely ''gushing'' about the younger Creator/FrankMiller's talents as a comic creator when reviewing ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.
** In the same review, him giving a fond farewell to Dr. Crafty after he departs as the show’s title card artist. Even the title card for the review itself is bidding him a nice goodbye.
* For his ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' review, Linkara, despite openly hating the movie, goes above and beyond to reassure the viewers who did like the movie that they have every right to enjoy it and really goes out of his way to disavow the usual toxic FanHater behavior others have displayed towards the fans of the Snyder DC movies. And it's all capped off at the end with him stating that he's genuinely happy for the [=#ReleaseTheSnyderCut=] movement for getting the [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague "Snyder Cut"]], calling it a victory they deserved.
** At the end of the review, we finally get the wrestling match with Heavy Wrex for the Contest of Champions. Linkara invokes the Right of Substitution to have Bone Button fight for him, and sure enough, he defeats Wrex with relative ease. The heartwarming part comes when Wrex, unlike Scarn, proves to be a GracefulLoser and sincerely congratulates Bone Button on his victory, acknowledging him as a WorthyOpponent, though it's tempered by his accusing Linkara of cowardice for not facing him directly.
* How Billy Torr is defeated in the Contest of Champions: Dr Linksano taking advantage of the time differences between the universes, becomes US President in Billy Torr’s universe and broadcasts a message that reaches the battlefield where the wrongs committed in the massacre of the prison inmates’ souls are acknowledge, reparations are made to their living descendants, a memorial is set up and a public apology is made. Billy Torr and the souls are able to move on in peace.
** Not only is Doctor Linksano willing to become president to help save Linkara, at some point he discovered that he is pansexual/polyamorous and apparently is in a relationship with two other people. He even mentions still being in contact with his partners.
* In the pinned comment for ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal'', he apologizes for misgendering Creator/GrantMorrison, pointing out his mistake and how it wasn’t intentional.
* When the villain's henchmen in ''Future 5'' talk about taking jobs at a burger joint rather than going to college and it's portrayed as them corrupting young students into a deadbeat way of life, Linkara, seriously annoyed, says he knows some ''very'' nice people who work at a [=McDonalds=], and is incensed at the implication that they're ''beneath'' college graduates.
