2{{Wham Episode}}s in ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''.

5* More personal than most but the ending of ''My Pet Monster'' has his low self-esteem and job insecurity (which have been building up from at least the {{review}} of ''Series/FullHouse'') hit him right in the face. The depression carries on to the next episode.
6* Review of ''Film/ScoobyDoo''. Critic reviewing the movie with his younger and older self, all three dying to save the world (Critic gets better though), returning characters coming back (most notably Roger as the angel from "You're A Dirty Rotten Bastard"), is a prequel for ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', and his self-hate running deeper than anyone realized.
7* "The Review Must Go On" starts off as a WebVideo/DemoReel episode with Donnie, Tacoma and Rebecca [[TooHappyToLive happy with life]], but then switches to Critic pushing Doug into killing that show off and bringing him back into existence.
8* ''Film/SonOfTheMask'' introduces a hell right under Critic's home with the devil and Evilina as recurring characters, Santa Christ comes back a lot nastier, and Critic ''[[DeathSeeker really]]'' regrets coming down from the PlotHole.
9* ''Film/TheLastAirbender''. Not just that it's a big movie with big demand and build-up, but Doug's vlogs get welded into Critic canon, Doug himself becomes another life, Shyam-Amon becomes the first reboot BigBad who talent-bends Critic, Critic and Doug (as a platypus bunny) meet up again, and there's more meta and LampshadeHanging than we care to name.
10* ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'' introduces Tamara, has Critic tortured both mentally by her and physically in a MistreatmentInducedBetrayal by Malcolm, and Karl and Quinn show up to {{retcon}} the “The Review Must Go On” retcon.
11* ''Princess Diaries 2''. Hyper Fangirl kidnaps Critic to her BigFancyHouse that she got from another stalking victim, proves much more desperate and disturbing than even first appeared by trying to manipulate him into loving her. And it almost works, but he gets back to himself, tells her that he will never give her what she wants, but she has a breakdown because of this and vanishes.
12* ''Matrix Month'' as a whole. Tamara and Malcolm are BrainwashedAndCrazy, it's only the 'month' with a StoryArc both in itself and continuing the overall plot, Critic's meta powers are explained with SelfDeprecation, WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee homages are common, and he reality warps to get things back to normal WorldGoneMad.
13* ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' is done with entirely built sets and green screen, Devil Boner gets CharacterDevelopment, Hyper Fangirl gets over Critic (though nobody thinks it will stick) which he is more than fine with, and meninists are sent by Obama to fight in women's place as LaserGuidedKarma.
14* ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004''. A clipless musical with a large cast, [[spoiler: Chester gets killed]] ([[https://twitter.com/BethElderkin/status/712400096143409152 although Beth confirmed he's okay]]), Beth is kidnapped by the Fandumb Of The Opera in a parallel to Hyper>Critic, and speaking of Hyper, she's still chasing Critic but she gets more insight into her fucked up brain.
15* "I'll Be Home For Christmas". Satan has a nephew, Chester has a girlfriend and not subtly in light of 2016 politics, Critic gets WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee feelings back and wants desperately to be good.
16* ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' is mostly a light comedic episode until the last five minutes, where Devil Boner swoops in to punish a Deadpool cosplayer for trying to touch Hyper, and then proposes marriage to Hyper, which she eagerly accepts.
17* The ''Chipwrecked'' review is the WeddingEpisode between Hyper Fangirl and Devil Boner, effectively wrapping up the Hyper Fangirl arc, featuring cameos from several other sketch characters.
18* ''[[{{Film/TheNutcrackerIn3D}} The Most HATED Nutcracker Movie Ever Made]]'' has Critic and company move studios (motivation later trying to run from Aunt Despair and Uncle Lies), Rachel comes back very… Donnie-like, trying to remake Home Alone and Critic essentially apologizes, saying they were a good person even if making something shitty, Critic himself reveals he hadn’t said the F word all year, and the review ends with all of them watching the late Mrs Walker talk from “The Christmas Tree”.
