Guilty Pleasures: Discussed with Strange Magic. She thinks it's bad, but she understands why it has a cult following — in her words, "it's a surreal, awkward romance-fantasy-musical. That combination of words practically screams 'guilty pleasure'".

Shipper on Deck: She was rooting for Korrasami to be a thing long before it actually happened, and despite being rather anti-romance, she was positively giddy about Varrick and Zhu Li getting married. Going off her saying that The Owl House was awesome shortly before showing the clip of Luz asking Amity out, she's a Lumity shipper as well.

Take That!
 CellSpex (Web Video) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Several against Teen Titans Go!. She also seems to dislike Rise of the Guardians, since she calls the movie out using tropes like Clap Your Hands If You Believe and Adults Are Useless without any hint of irony. She also calls Jack "Not Elsa's Boyfriend" in her Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse review. She's also not a huge fan of Illumination Entertainment. Points out that more time was very likely put into Sausage Party's script than all of the preceeding movies of the 2016 Worst to Best list. She does not take it back. The other reason her Worst to Best lists from 2009 to 2012 were taken down was because... Her opinion of Disney's live action/photorealistic remakes of their classic animated movies is growing hatred, reaching a boiling point when The Lion King (2019) came out and earned a dishonorable mention on the 2019 Worst to Best. Mulan (2020) was an excuse to just let it out, given how bad the year had been in general at that point.

Shout-Out: In her review of Death Note (2017), when voicing the characters, Ryuk shouts "HEY KID WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY?!" Her 2016 Worst to Best opening montage was originally set to "History Maker", and in the list itself mentions one of the show's signature scenes in a very silly way when reviewing Doukyusei -Classmates- (which has YoI's ending theme as the BGM). "You'd think "There's no way a movie this cute is suddenly gonna get super-dark and depressing and gruesome," right Madoka?" During her 2019 Worst to Best, she says that what Studio TRIGGER does best is make colorful explosive battles while people scream "I AM A MAN!". During her review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, she comments on Lily Tomlin playing the voice of Aunt May:
