Atop the Fourth Wall/Tear Jerker

For History of Power Rangers examples, see here.


 * You know how Attempted Suicide is Played for Laughs at Atop the Fourth Wall? Well, there are two exceptions.
 * At the end of the Silent Hill Dead/Alive review, we learn the origins of the Magic Gun.
 * What really sold this scene was Mr. Lovhaug's delivery. The man chews the scenery every chance he gets, and now suddenly he sounds like he's about to CRY. And who says he can't act?
 * Action Girl Iron Liz seems unbreakable, doesn't she? Not according to her livestream discussion with JewWario.
 * The discussion prompted a number of people in the chat to come forward with their own stories of depression and suicide attempts. (It's a lot more common than you'd think for one community.)
 * ...And at the end, Justin called for a group hug on camera.
 * Seeing Linkara depressed in the beginning of his Care Bears review is off-putting to say the least. The guy seemed to have only two emotions until this point: anger and joy. This was neither. This was pure and true sadness.
 * Hell that was just kicking us after we were already down! You could tell that Cry for Justice actually broke him down, and not in the planned way the Dead/Alive breakdown was.
 * In Linkara's Cry For Justice Review, the moment where he unleashes his fury at  wasn't funny in the slightest. Whereas normally, Linkara adds a bit of a dorky whine to his angry voice in order to convey a bit of comedy, even when he reviewed Countdown, there was NONE of that in Linkara's voice during that scene. Instead, there was nothing but pure, unmitigated fury toward James Robinson for killing off one of his favorite characters for nothing more than an unforeshadowed Shock Death that ALSO ruined the comic series that got him into comics, , because   presence in the book helped.
 * In Linkara's NBComics #1 review, when the magic kid tries to use a glove to wish for super powers, Linkara says "Don't waste your time with magic gloves kid, you'll only end up with ."
 * In "The Grinning Man" Linkara really seems depressed that he doesn't even know.
 * In "Planet of the Symbiotes", the look on Linkara's face when he realizes  is absolutely heartbreaking.
 * Oh, hell, even right before that, when he  Lips will tremble and eyes will water.
 * After reviewing Electric Tale of Pikachu, he, stands up, and a sadder rendition of his theme song plays as he slowly takes off the Ash-esque outfit he wore all episode and replaces it with his own outfit- even replicating camera angles of putting on his coat and hat seen in his opening credits. He just looks so...defeated. The worst part, however, is

 * The magic gun is absorbed by the Entity.
 * However, if you stay for the credits, it says that.
 * Linkara's desperate, hopeless reaction to losing her. That isn't the look of a man who lost his best weapon, he treats her taking with the same gravity as Liz being taken.
 * Lewis and Liz have broken up as a couple. It has been hinted that the split was amiable, and that they will remain friends, but it's still pretty sad.
 * The duplication of
 * Note that
 * Allow me to make this worse: let's say you watched "The Wrath of Khan". Now, let's say you remember seeing it while watching Linkara's reviews of the comic adaptation. The second Pollo said, just like Spock before him,  . The worst thing? It changes nothing; whether you saw it or not,   is still a sad moment.
 * Even worse; suppose you watched Wrath of Khan right before the third part of Linkara's review to get the full impact, as some people probably did.
 * This troper will admit that he rolled his eyes when that started. But the moment  I lost it.
 * This exchange between Pollo and Linkara


 * Pollo never backed himself up, because he said he it wouldn't be "him"; it would be like a clone, a different person. You ever wonder why Linkara never tried to resurrect anyone via cloning after attempting it with Spoony ? That was Pollo's influence.
 * The spirit of the girl inside the Magic Gun is unable to do anything due to some anti-magic field affecting most of his equipment. Of course, the Girl In The Gun is probably stuck in a probable And I Must Scream scenario.
 * Linkara telling Harvey and Pollo that whenever he uses the Magic Gun, he can hear her whispering in his ear... and now he can't.
