* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** A portion of his ''Film/Godzilla2014'' review is dedicated to him voicing his dislike with the film choosing to show a tsunami hitting Japan from the perspective of a white American family. As he saw this decision as only for the sake of having characters to follow that speak the same language as the intended audience, he subsequently stated that the film was making the problematic assumption that American audiences couldn't relate to non-English-speaking, non-white characters. However, there's one glaring problem with this argument -- the tsunami scene he's talking about takes place in ''Hawaii'', not Japan, and "HONOLULU, HAWAII" even appears center screen beforehand. He at the very least was willing to walk this one back after his comment section pointed it out.
--->"I don't always fuck up, but when I do it's pretty hilarious."
** The claim from Adam that ''Film/{{Split}}'' was "written when M. Night's movies were still good", which seems to indicate that the script was written back in the late '90s/early 2000s, especially given how Adam disliked all of Creator/MNightShyamalan's works post-''Film/{{Signs}}''. Whilst Kevin's character was originally intended for ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'' and a few scenes were scripted with him, the actual script was written in the 2010s, possibly around 2014/2015.

** The ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' video was originally a throwaway gag in the ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' video, but he found so much of the CommonKnowledge regarding accusations of ''The Lion King'' being a ripoff to be so utterly wrong that he made a separate video to address everything. Additionally, Adam stated on a livestream that he originally expected the video to be about 20 minutes when he spun it off into its own video. Due to Adam falling down the Kimba rabbit hole, it ended up becoming over 2 hours.

** In a livestream, Adam explained he was approached to compose the music for ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'', but was too busy and couldn't commit to the project. He notes that he feels the music choices in the finished pilot were fantastic and that his version would have been much different.

* MagnumOpusDissonance: His multi-part review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' is an ongoing project that is one of Adam's most passionate works. However, his video debunking the claim that ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' is a ripoff of ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'', which was originally going to just be a brief segment in the ''Lion King (2019)'' review before growing into its own separate video as Adam dug deeper into the controversy and discovered just how wrong the accusations were, quickly became one of his most popular videos. As of this writing, it is the second most-viewed video on his channel (with the first part of his ''Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids'' review being the first) at over five million views compared to the first part of the ''Lion King (2019)'' review, which sits at only two million in comparison.

** The director of ''Film/Shazam2019'' [[https://twitter.com/ponysmasher/status/1114987202016972800 was happy that Adam enjoyed the film.]]

** His video debunking the arguments stating that ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' was plagiarized from ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' gave a LOT of people their first proper exposure to what the Kimba series actually was. This case is especially notable as Adam points out at several points that the majority of the arguments he finds are made by people who have never even seen Kimba media and going off of the word of other people who were going off the words of others to the point that most people just assumed Kimba was a singular animated feature rather than [[LongRunners a decades long series of anime, feature films and manga]]

*** He has given multiple shout-outs to the [[https://www.youtube.com/c/YMSHighlights YMS Highlights]] channel, which consists of excerpts from recent livestreams that people can watch to see what he's up to.

** In-universe examples: Adam has co-signed several fan-run accounts.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Adam's managed to amass a very deep, detailed knowledge on the technical aspects of movies despite not going to film school. Instead, he says he got most of his knowledge from watching [[DVDCommentary DVD Commentaries]] growing up.

** The claim from Adam that ''Film/{{Split}}'' was "written when M. Night's movies were still good", which seems to indicate that the script was written back in the late 90s/early 2000s, especially given how Adum disliked all of Creator/MNightShyamalan's works post-''Film/{{Signs}}''. Whilst Kevin's character was originally intended for ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'' and a few scenes were scripted with him, the actual script was written in the 2010s, possibly around 2014/2015.

** His long-form analysis of ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' last updated with a part 5, and there hasn't been another part for several years. Aside from the legendary status a hypothetical part 6 has now gained among his fans, '''Charlie Kaufman himself''' said he was waiting for additional parts when Adam interviewed him for the release of ''WesternAnimation/{{Anomalisa}}''. Adam later clarified that he purposely is delaying the next part to work on other projects.

** His review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' has been constantly pushed back due to the amount of material he kept finding. He's cited in livestreams that one of the big factors was the amount of research he ended up doing on ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion''; he had originally wanted to make a throwaway Kimba joke in the review, but quickly discovered how ''wrong'' the CommonKnowledge was of the same and ended up making a nearly two-and-a-half hour video just to debunk any claims about it.

* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Adam has stated this to be a reason why he hasn't updated his ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' series. He wants to work on other projects between videos, and so anytime someone asks about his video series, Adam flat out states he is purposely going to delay the series just because he gets asked it so often.

* BigNameFan: Of Creator/MichaelHaneke, Creator/AlejandroGonzalezInarritu, Creator/CharlieKaufman and Creator/AlejandroJodorowsky, who respectively are his two favorite directors, screenwriter and creator of [[Film/TheHolyMountain his favorite film]].

* OrphanedSeries: His and Mark's commentary on the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime. Copyright issues already made it difficult to upload them, but the falling out between Mark and Adum killed any chances of the series continuing.

* SongAssociation: [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRoNIkmOtWKSRXQXPhaUA04eer8TSA6Vb He tends to use songs]] from shows, films or games he likes, which has led to a lot of them gaining notoriety such that many comment on being unable to listen to them without imagining Adam's voice over them.
* {{Troll}}: On November 7, 2015, a teenager hijacked his Twitter account, but eventually left after it turned out it wasn't as fun as he expected.
** ThrowItIn: However, Adam still kept the changed handle of @[[Film/Cyberbully2011 2gay2lift]], [[ActuallyPrettyFunny finding it funny]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: More of "We Used to Respect Each Other" in regards to Derek Savage, creator of [[Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids Cool Cat]]. When Adam basically gave the ColbertBump towards the movie, saying that while being heavily flawed it had some heart, [[ApprovalOfGod Savage appreciated his criticisms and even did a recut of the film because of it]]. Unfortunately after Savage endured an implied CreatorBreakdown and attacked several people who did reviews of Cool Cat such as WebVideo/{{I HATE EVERYTHING}} and attempted to justify his actions and failing to use the correct definition of "Fair use", Adam immediately went to IHE's defense and posted his own thoughts and a calm TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Derek regarding his actions. Derek took such an offense he deleted the YMS cut of the film and removed Adam's cameo in his later film.
