History YMMV / BennettTheSage

** “The Guyver” is surprisingly sad, as Sage practically goes into coddling territory with Critic trying to prove he's not evil, but Critic constantly being a dick. It doesn't even end well, as Critic leaves angry and Sage ends up depressed.

* NightmareFuel: Most of "Top Ten Most WTF Music Videos."
** His description of [[FridgeHorror how it would feel to be Ishtar when she first woke in Hibiki's apartment]] in ''MacrossII'' is this, especially when he starts emphasizing the sexual assault undertones.
** At the end of his DevilMan review, he holds up an uncut copy of ViolenceJack before deciding not to review it, presumably because of too much Gorn and Squick. He is shown throwing the videotape off of a bridge in disgust, but there's still about a minute or so left in the video...[[spoiler: we are then treated to footage of [[SealedEvilInACan a small chest]] in a dark room prying itself open, glowing red light shining through the cracks while horrible screams are heard in the background. The chest opens and the words "VIOLENCE IS COMING" in red, bloody font appear on the screen]]. Perhaps he may end up reviewing it after all...
*** And later we find out that {{Marzgurl}} apparently watched it... and the results ain't pretty...

** His entry on AliceInChains for his Top Ten Favourite Musicians list, when he talks about how Layne Staley's death affected him.

* RootingForTheEmpire: Sage ''cheers'' when TheBaroness in Virgin Fleet blows up the class president's plane.

** Bennett's breakdown when covering Music/NoDoubt's "Hey Baby" in his Top Ten Worst Songs (By Otherwise Good Artists) list. "You and me...we used to be together..."

** At the end of his DevilMan review, he holds up an uncut copy of ViolenceJack before deciding not to review it, presumably because of too much Gorn and Squick. He is shown throwing the videotape off of a bridge in disgust, but there's still about a minute or so left in the video...[[spoiler: we are then treated to [[MindScrew footage of someone playing what appears to be a videogame in a dark room while horrible screams are heard in the background, and the words "VIOLENCE IS COMING" appear on the screen in red, bloody text.]] ]]. Perhaps he may end up reviewing it after all...

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: At the start of his GraveOfTheFireflies review, he makes it clear he's fully expecting this when he says he doesn't like it.

* AwesomeArt[=/=]VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Something he admits in his review of ''X'' before tearing it to pieces is that it's absolutely gorgeous.

* FreudWasRight: Discussed in ''[[Manga/{{X1999}} X]]'', when he notices that since [[spoiler:[[BrotherSisterIncest Kotori is the lover of Kamui/Fuuma]] and she carries the Sword of the Dragon of Earth in her body]] that this implies something similar between [[ParentalIncest Kamui and his mother.]] Sage isn't not pleased.

* SoCoolItsAwesome: His opinion of Anime/NinjaScroll.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: This happens in his review of ''Junk Boy'' with the entire scene of Vic Mignogna's floating head.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: He says that the entirety of ''Doomed Megalopolis'' is this, since while the scenes leave an impact on the viewer they're perfunctory to the plot.[[invoked]]
