Tropes Q-Z [[Atop the Fourth Wall/Tropes Q To Z|HERE!]]<br />
Line 13:
** Played straight in ''Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu'', where he opens the review saying the games are fun, then makes sure to ask about everything that's absurd on the franchise (10 year-olds being warranted the license to train monsters which can level towns; weird monsters which include rocks, ghosts, and plants being somehow genetically related; and how [[Evolution Power-Up|Pokémon evolution]] is more growing up than evolving). He then proceeds to pick apart the entire comic like one of his regular reviews... only to end the review proclaiming it doesn't suck at all and was a rather enjoyable read.
* [[Acting for Two|Acting For Several]]:
** Linkara also plays a number of [[Drop
** Iron Liz has also played herself, and two alt. versions of herself.
** Will Wolfgram has played Vyce, [[Large Ham|SNOWFLAME!]], and now {{spoiler|a Gunslinger from another world}}.
Line 24:
*** He also points out that while the jokes themselves are funny, they happen during pretty dark moments, making them inappropriate.
** In the ''Mightily Murdered Power Ringers'' review, he praises a couple of the jokes (like the [[Muggles]] discussing [[Hero Insurance]]) despite the fact that he ''really'' doesn't like the rest of the comic.
* [[
** From ''[[Amazons Attack]]'':

** In the ''Countdown'' review.
{{quote|
** In his [[The Clone Saga|Maximum Clonage]] review:
{{quote|
** [[Alliterative Name|His real name even does this]], perhaps the reason he loves alliteration.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Linkara's impression of [[The Ultimates|Ultimate Tony Stark]]/[[Iron Man]]. He is *ALWAYS* drunk. {{spoiler|That's because [[Never Live It Down|he asked for a drink]]. Even when he is a robot.}}
Line 37:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Because many of the comics he reviews are adaptations or reinterpretations of already-established characters, Linkara [[In-Universe|often does his best]] to reconcile their poor actions in the current story with their predominant characterization:
** According to Linkara, the Goddamn Batman from ''[[All-Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder|All Star Batman & Robin]]'' is not actually Batman, but a hobo named Crazy Steve who somehow got his hands on Batman's costume.
** He also thinks the Superman in ''[[Superman: At
** He interpreted the Kool-Aid Man as a homicidal maniac who has cameras watching people over the entire world.
** He decided that the "Tandy Computer Whiz Kids" were police plants, and supports this in that the police actually listen to them when they kids call them about their being criminals, which any real world cops would dismiss as prank call.
** A broader version occurs in the ''22 Brides'' review he regards ''[[One More Day]]'' as Joe Quesada's attempt to undo ''22 Brides''.
** Linkara assumes that not only did the Olympian gods show up on the wrong day, but the character who rips himself free of his crucifixion in ''The Godyssey'' is not Jesus, but rather Jesús,<ref>
** In the Nestle/Superman crossover he suggests that the Quik Bunny might actually be a villain from the number of suggestions he makes that send the children into dangerous situations.
{{quote|
** He also believes that ''Mr. T. Comics,'' are a response to "Rise of Arsenal."
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Some people actually think Linkara made up that "It's magic. I don't have to explain it" phrase and meant it in all seriousness, not realizing that this is actually a shot at [[Joe Quesada]]'s justification for ''[[One More Day]]''.
Line 51:
* [[Angrish]]: Linkara's reaction to [[Silent Hill]] Dead/Alive #2 using ''[[Evil Dead]]'''s "Groovy" line.
** Also in the "[["Previously On..."]]" intro for the ''[[Daredevil]] #306'' review:
{{quote|
'''Linkara:''' Huh? Buh? Whu-with the bowtie-and-buh...''What?'' }}
* [[Anything But That]]: Read ''Warrior'' #2 and #3 or watch ''[[TNA Impact]]''. Take the former.
Line 61:
* [[Artifact Title|Artifact Catchphrase]]: Linkara mentions in the ''Mightily Murdered Power Ringers'' review that some viewers have complained about the lack of comic-burning in later reviews.
* [[Artistic License Astronomy]]: In his Secret Defenders review, talking about the backgrounds filled with alien planets and moons --
{{quote|
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Linkara points out several in the New Guardians review:
** You cannot spread AIDS simply from biting someone else unless the biter was bleeding from the mouth at the time and that blood made contact with the blood exposed from the bite wound. Saliva itself cannot transmit HIV.
** Apparently, Photosynthesis works by absorbing elements around it, which resulted in Floronic Man to get a contact high by absorbing cocaine from the bodies of the druggies they were trying to fend off...
{{quote|
** [[Brute Force]] #1 has the implication that animals could talk if they were just more intelligent despite inherently lacking the physical capability to talk.
** When reviewing [[Spider-Man|Amazing Fantasy #15]] he interjected with "spiders aren't insects" when reading one of the captions that described the radioactive spider.
Line 80:
** This is not entirely true, however, as the word can also mean a mountain pass, which could apply to the geographic location of the village.
* [[Artistic License History]]: Nineties Kid thinks that ''[[Doom]]'' was an accurate account of WWII.
{{quote|
** According to the "Tandy Computer Whiz Kids: Fit to Win" comic, the first all-electronic computers were made in America, not England as Linkara pointed out in his "Top 15 Screw-Ups". When the piece of trivia pops up again in the crossover with Superman and Wonder Woman, Linkara deduces that the statement was a bold-faced lie.
* [[Artistic License: Law]]: In ''Batman Fortunate Son'',
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: Lampshaded with the running gag of "Of course! Don't you know anything about '''science'''?"
** A particularly egregious example is in ''Superman: Distant Fires'', where nuclear war somehow causes the planet to rip itself apart. Just to illustrate how dumb the science is, he apparently asks members of Twitter approximately how many nuclear bombs are required to destroy the Earth. Their answer can be summed up as "A Lot", or to be it in broader terms, more than currently exist. Or can realistically be made given the current state of Earth's resources.
Line 97:
** Linkara loves the Titans, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold and taking pot shots at ''[[One More Day]]''. [[Perverse Sexual Lust|He also likes]] [[Harley Quinn]], but who doesn't? He also likes dramatic, arc-based plots, so he is doing his damnedest to give his show one.
** Fabian Nicieza seems to get an exemption from being labeled as a bad author despite his frequent appearances on the show. According to Linkara, his overall quality as writer is quite good and the comics which are featured are the lower end of his portfolio and not an accurate overall representation.
{{quote|
** Given his utter joy whenever he's reviewed a comic featuring [[Captain America (comics)]] in it, it's quite clear that Linkara's a fan of the Captain. Look no further than his ''Secret Origins Month'' review of Captain America Comics #1 for proof.
* [[Author Filibuster]]:
** He likes to complain about ''[[One More Day]]''. A lot.
Line 105:
** Explicitly [[Averted Trope|avoided]] in ''Action Comics'' #593, where he notes that this is not the time for a long rant on the use of [[Rape as Drama|rape as a plot device]], so he instead directs us to someone else's website (the source of the page quote on [[Gratuitous Rape]]) who he thinks details the problem much better than he could.
* [[Autobots Rock Out]]: Uses "The Touch" for a particularly badass Optimus moment in his review of ''[[Transformers]] #4-5''.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: During the review of [[World of Warcraft
* [[Awesome but Impractical]] :
** Linkara's description of the lock to Mr. Miracle and Big Barda's house in Action Comics #593
Line 114:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Badass Decay]]: Linkara dislikes in-universe how the trope was handled in ''[[JLA: Act of God]]'', which revolved around all the heroes being [[Brought Down to Normal]]. He particularly disliked what they did with Aquaman.
{{quote|
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: And so can the Kool-Aid Man (But we get it, he will not freeze, we are all aware that liquids evaporate first in a vacuum)
* [[Battle Couple]]: Linkara and Iron Liz, as proven in the ''Ewoks #9'' review
* [[The Bechdel Test]]: Applied to ''Sultry Teenage Super Foxes'', an example of how an [[
** Also in the [[US-1]] #2 review, where the two newly-introduced named female characters, Mary McGrill and Taryn O'Connell, talk to each other, but they only talk about a man.
* [[Beeping Computers]]: In his [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Star Trek Elite Force|Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]'' Linkara points out the ridiculous extent the computers Chell and Biessman are working on are beeping while trying to eavesdrop in a conversation.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He especially hates it when iconic, established characters get changed. ''[[Insistent Terminology|Bearded Idiot]]: [[Superman: At
** He loses it VERY badly in his review of ''[[Cry for Justice]]'', with {{spoiler|Lian Harper's death.}}
** Comics that feature two page spreads that require the book to be rotated ninety degrees.
Line 134:
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The [[Ultimate Warrior]] 's comic is so bad that trying to review it breaks the space-time continuum.
* [[BFG]]: He gets one at the end of ''Cable'' #1
{{quote|
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Iron Liz passes off as rather androgynous at first glance, and her voice does not help matters much, but upon closer examination her gender makes itself known.
* [[Big No]]:
Line 147:
** The [[Lady Gaga]] comic ''Fame''. When we get a look into the man's dreams, it results in Linkara screaming for 10 seconds, a 'Technical difficulties' screen, a shaking, shivering Linkara, 5 more seconds of screaming, another 'Technical difficulties' screen and an angry rant. Oh, it's so justified.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: He calls Nightcat "an embarrassment to singers, superheoes and singing superheroes."
* [[Breakout Character]]: Snowflame, as performed by Lewis' real-life friend Will Wolfram.
* [[Brick Joke]]:
** Linkara mispronouncing Film Brain's name.
Line 157:
** He also greeted Mechakara in an imitation of [[The Room|Tommy Wiseau]]. Spoony himself later did [[Phrase Catcher|the exact same thing]] when he met his Black Lantern self.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: Linkara provides the page quote, which originated in his ''Bearded Idiot: At Earth's End'' review.
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: Linkara was very critical of ''[[JLA: Act of God]]'', which revolved around ''all'' of Earth's superheroes losing their powers. He explained that the lack of a common origin for ''any'' of the heroes made any kind of mass de-powering hard to swallow and also ridiculed the hit-and-miss nature of the event, which was stated to have left advanced technology alone, but still disabled the [[Green Lantern]] rings, and was also said to have removed all magical beings from the world, but somehow left [[Wonder Woman]] around. He recommended instead ''[[
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: A perfunctory variation. Most episodes end with Linkara simply rising from the couch and walking away, without anything resembling a sign-off line.
* [[C-List Fodder]]: He notes this happens to Congorilla's tribe, as well as the obscure minor characters The Three Dimwits from the DCU in ''[[Cry for Justice]]''. Offscreen, no less. He's not a fan of this trope and feels characters provide more potential to stories when alive.
* [[Call Back]]:
** In the Warrior #2 and #3 co-review with Spoony we have a bunch of call-backs to the original Warrior
** Linkara's first appearance on [[That Guy With The Glasses|TGWTG]] was after he won a fan contest and got to fill in for Ask that Guy for an episode. He adopted the name "That Guy with the Hat" for the occasion. Now, go read the entry under "[[Badass Boast]]" again...
** In the Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu review, he searches for a comic to read and, upon finding it, goes "Aha! Now we've got it!"
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Little Kuriboh]] in the ''Bimbos in Time'' review:
{{quote|
** And again as [[Dan Green]] in ''Cable #2'', as a Dan Green apparently worked as an inker for Marvel Comics.
** [[Little Kuriboh]] also had an earlier cameo as an off-screen voice, this time is natural voice, that Linkara shot with his magic gun as part of a bizarre greeting he was parodying.
** [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theater 3000's Tom Servo!]] made an appearance during the Action Comics #593 video.
*** Tom Servo
** Linkara has a brief run-in with [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] in his review of ''Wolverine: Adamantium Rage''.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: ''Spider-Man: On Thin Ice''
* [[Can-Crushing Cranium]]: Tried and failed.
* [[Canon
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Ensign Munroe, from the game ''Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force,'' has shown up several times (played by Linkara).
* [[Caramelldansen Vid]]: During his review of ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' he says "Instead of the fail comic, enjoy some ninja-style dancing." Cue Ninja-Style Dancer doing a [[Caramelldansen Vid]]!
Line 191:
* [[Catchphrase Interruptus]]: In the [[Silent Hill]] Dead/Alive #5 review, he gets through "Hello and welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where..." before being interrupted by the fog and sirens.
* [[Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys]]: Says it is time to stop making fun of the French for this, when the villains in the Kool-Aid Man comic showed even less backbone than the worst caricatures of the French.
* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: In his review of the '90s Justice League movie with [[What
* [[The Chessmaster]]:
** One of the alternative endings to the Silent Hill review reveals {{spoiler|Bear}} to be one in style of the dog from [[Silent Hill 2]].
** In the recap at the start of the ''[[Daredevil]]'' #306 review (The recap, [[Running Gag|as usual]], bears no connection to the review itself):
{{quote|
* [[Chewbacca Defense]]: (To justify bad storytelling) "Why? ''Because the Kool-Aid Man is red!''"
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: In his [[Crossover]] review of ''[[The Fantastic Four (film)|The Fantastic Four]]'' movie (which was so bad Marvel would not let it be released) with Bennett the Sage, Linkara tells one of the actors that he still has some of the scenery between his teeth.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: In 2009, he did one on the [[Youngblood]] Extreme Super Christmas Special, complete with the ghosts from [[A Christmas Carol]] showing up and trying to teach him the meaning of Christmas, only to be thrown out because he already loves Christmas. In 2010, there have been three Christmas
* [[Chuck Norris Facts]]: [[Defied Trope]] in his review of ''Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos''. "Because I like screwing with expectations."
* [[Cleavage Window]]: Or, as he calls it, "Boob window".
Line 214:
** ''Act of God'' was absolutely rife with this, and Linkara continually calls out the writers on the hamfisted monologuing during his review.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: A previous Bennett the Sage episode has Sage tying up Linkara after discovering [[Old Shame|old fanfiction he wrote as a teenager]] and made him listen as it was reread. Later, when Linkara wakes up bound to a chair because of Mechakara, he wonders what Bennett found this time.
** During his review of [[NBC
* [[Cool but Stupid]]: Linkara expresses this about Brute Force.
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: An unexpected highlight in ''[[Cry for Justice]]'':
{{quote|
'''Congorilla:''' TALLY-HO! ["Music/RideOfTheValkyries" plays over the pages of the fight.] }}
** One of his biggest complaints about some of the comics he reviews (including ''[[Fan Nickname|Bearded Idiot:]]'' ''[[Superman: At
{{quote|
* [[Costume Copycat]]:
** Linkara impersonates the Critic to review ''[[Superman IV]]''. The Critic is not impressed.
** Doug has occasionally gone to events dressed as Linkara, who will shortly after appear as the [[Power Rangers|Green Ranger]] and confront him on this.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: At the end of his ''Superman: Distant Fires'' review.
{{quote|
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: An in-universe example, in which Linkara describes the image of [[Neutro]] riding a whale as being quite possibly the most awesome thing he or anyone else will ever see in their lives, possibly surpassed only by Robo-bear versus Cyber-gorilla!
** He also (essentially) said that there is nothing more awesome than [[Bruce Campbell]] (Ash from The Evil Dead movies) laying the [[Smack Down]] on the [[Marvel Zombies]], except for Robo-bear vs. Cyber-gorilla! Where Neutro stacks up is anyone's guess.
Line 231:
* [[Critical Backlash]]: [[In-Universe|Linkara experienced this]] with the Spiderman comic [[Maximum Carnage]].
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: During a video of missed jokes, he notes how he has no idea how he missed making a joke at a comment giving the length of Wolverine's claws as ''longer than he was tall'', noting just how blatantly obvious it was that the line fell under this.
** In the Daredevil vs. Vapora review, Linkara mocks many of Daredevil's powers as the writer coming under this trope, despite the fact that being a human lie detector and surviving long falls have always been a part of the mythos.
* [[Crossover]]: Linkara is notorious at [[That Guy With The Glasses]] for showing up in everyone else's videos.
** His most frequent and fruitful collaborations are with [[The Spoony One|Spoony]]: They have made four (five if you count their review with [[The Nostalgia Critic]]) full appearances together, physically in the same room and everything, and have even advanced storylines in each other's videos. [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Insano]] was introduced in an [[Atop the Fourth Wall]] video as part of a [["Previously On..."|parody sequence]], and the whole Mechakara saga began as the result of their first crossover, largely written by Spoony. Fandom tends to depict the two creators as [[Heterosexual Life Partners]].
** Linkara also appeared in a joint review with [[Marz Gurl]], and was the subject of an episode of Masterpiece Fanfic Theatre, where he was [[James Bondage|tied up]] and forced to listen to Bennett read some of his [[Old Shame|juvenilia]]. Later, he and Bennett did a proper review of [[Roger Corman]]'s ''[[The Fantastic Four (film)|The Fantastic Four]]''. He has also reviewed two movies with [[The Nostalgia Critic]], once [[Alone in the Dark (2005 film)|with Spoony]] and once [[Superman (film)|without]].
** Throughout "[[Star Trek]] Month" [[The Nostalgia Critic]] kept being terrified that [[Fan Boy]] Linkara would force a cross-over, only to be presently surprised when he didn't. Finally, he announces his thanks that with only one movie left to review, Linkara definitely won't show up to overanalyse things and be annoying, no way, no how- only for the video to end with;
{{quote|
* [[Crowd Song]]: During the live show at MAGfest, Linkara [[Audience Participation Song|openly encourages]] the audience to sing along with the opening theme. Which, of course, they do.
{{quote|
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: At the end of his Future 5 review:
{{quote|
** Also cut short during his review of ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'' when he goes off on a cursing rant about the editor wanting to make a love triangle between Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, and Jason Todd, cut off by a "[[We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties|Inaudible Profanity, please stand by]]" screen set to the Route 1 BGM from Pokémon.
{{quote|
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Linkara impersonating Izaak Crowe in ''Batman: Fortunate Son'': "Oh no, it's so terrible that I grew up in an economically stable environment instead of impoverished or hungry and on drugs!" [[Rule of Funny|Complete with his Superboy Prime voice.]]
* [[Cute Kitten]]: He plays a clip of a really adorable kitten as a way of making up for the sheer badness of ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again'', Part 3.
Line 252:
** In his ''Care Bears'' review, he points out the clown is really wasting a gravity manipulation device on shaking kids.
** Linkara points this out in ''[[Superman]] and [[Wonder Woman]]: Tandy Whiz Kids'' when a World's Fair refuses to give [[Lex Luthor]] any place to show off his scientific inventions just because he's a mad scientist. This prompts Linkara to act out that Luthor will now have to hold the World's Fair for ransom and kill off everyone inside it instead of merely patenting his inventions and making billions. Afterward, he explains that he thinks this might be the reason why the writers decided to turn Luthor into a businessman instead of keeping him as a mad scientist, because having a supervillain with that much intelligence was just dumb.
* [[The Dark Age of Comic Books]]: Linkara is avowedly not a fan of the Dark Age of Comics, disliking the exaggerated proportions, lackluster or confusing dialogue, and excessive violence that permeated the medium during the 1990's. The predominant artistic style of the time is marred by what he terms "[[Youngblood]]'s disease" and "[[Rob Liefeld|Liefeld]]'s syndrome," and he finds the overall morality of era depressing. The comics, by claiming that their characters are "relatable," "modern" and "real," seem to imply that [[Humans Are
* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: Has with the Silent Hill comics in spades, whose unlikable characters to Linkara flat-out not giving a shit as to what happens in the story. To a lesser extent, he seems to have this somewhat with the [[Ultimate Marvel]] universe with its superhero characters generally not being very likable, though in that case he says he simply doesn't like the [[Ultimate Marvel]] universe but doesn't say it's bad.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Harvey Finevoice, 90s Kid, and Iron Liz have each given an entire review themselves.
Line 258:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Despite not liking characters getting killed in stories, he admits that for main stream heroes death is no big deal when he brings up the death of the Human Torch in his Brain Drain review, and comments that he'll be dead for a year at most before coming back, and each member of the Fantastic Four has died at least once.
* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: One of Linkara's [[Your Mileage May Vary|less universally accepted]] [[Berserk Button
* [[Defied Trope]]: When one of the ''Bimbos in Time'' explains the "time door" as "an implosion in matter-antimatter existence", Linkara interrupts the "Of course! Don't you know anything about SCIENCE?" gag.
{{quote|
* [[Delayed Reaction]]: A running gag. Linkara will say something stupid (either as a character or in support of a character's plan) with great enthusiasm, then realize it's stupid.
{{quote|
'''Linkara as said villain:''' ...thus making all the money worthless because of simple economics. (''[[Beat]]'') Wait... }}
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]:
Line 268:
** The review of ''[[All Star Batman and Robin|All-Star Batman & Robin]]'' #1 and #2 revealed that, among its other flaws, characters tended to repeat themselves. A lot. A lot a lot.
** In ''Strange Adventures'' #136, there are two blatant examples pointed out in its goofy [[Silver Age]] writing style.
{{quote|
'''Linkara:''' "Thanks for the clarification, or I might've thought it was the alien commander from Circle Pines."
'''Alien:''' "We come from a planet of the star-sun Altair."
'''Linkara:''' "Thanks for the redundancy, there. Otherwise I may have thought you'd come from the ''planet-sun'' Altair!" }}
** In the comic adaptation of ''[[Santa Claus Conquers the Martians]]'':
{{quote|
'''Linkara''': "Redundantly, the caption is redundant." }}
** ''Cry For Justice'' gives us the "Justice League of Justice".
** Addressed in the ''Superman Meets the Quik Bunny'' review.
{{quote|
'''Linkara:''' "Redundant statements won't be redundant! They'll be repetitive! ...wait." }}
** Linkara himself has a tendency to say "and et cetera", even though the "et" means "and".
* [[Designated Hero]]: The phrase "Our hero(es), ladies and gentlemen!" means he is pointing out instances of this and/or [[Hero Ball]]. Linkara points out that [[Rob Liefeld]]'s characters in general have almost nothing heroic about them, which he finds particularly frustrating, since Liefeld specifically described Youngblood as heroic characters that can be related to and believed in as heroes.
** His review of [[Neutro]] constantly references this trope.
{{quote|
'''Linkara:''' "...Oooookay, that's not very good if he's a superhero." }}
*** He also brings this up with his reviews in his Secret Origins month, where in Golden and Silver Age comics, superheroes didn't always seem very heroic.
** A major complaint that he, Nash and Film Brain have of the Wonder Woman 2011 pilot.
* [[Dissimile]]:
{{quote|
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: At the end of the 100th episode, Linkara and most of his recurring characters (as well as a bunch of other TGWTG contributors) sing his entire theme song.
* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: From ''Silent Hill: Dying Inside'' #5 "Important safety tip: do not mock [[Silent Hill|Pyramid Head!]]"
Line 301:
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: Several in-universe examples.
** He points out that, in Action Comics #593, Superman and Big Barda are essentially raping each other, [[Rape as Drama|which is a terrible plot point]].
** In the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130908094337/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/at4w/9479-countdown2 Countdown Part 2 review], from 90s kid, who can usually be counted on to defend the decade's excesses.
{{quote|
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Pointed out and referenced by name several times (via the [[Trope Namer]]) throughout the ''Transformers'' #4 and #5 review re: Pat Lee's artwork.
** Linkara notes that [[Green Lantern]] doesn't look that angry at the start of ''[[Cry for Justice]]'' #1.
