History Headscratchers / SuburbanKnights

** Film Brain is the same as he was in Kickassia where he was a massive NC fanboy and wants to be a toadie out of admiration. As for Luke she just seems to want to score points with her boss, and being one of the only two out of seventeen to show enthusiasm for the quest makes Luke look really good in comparison (to the Critic at least).
* On a similar note, did Film Brain just offer to make the Nostalgia Critic a coffee, then sit down next to Lupa and listen to the remainder of his speech rather than actually do anything about it? No wonder Luke got it first.

*** Which adds another layer to it: Luke wasn't really as noticeable at the meeting and presumably snuck away and made a cup for The Critic while Film Brain went and made his cup during the Critic's speech... giving Luke ample time to get the Critic the coffee first. This also adds another reason for Film Brain's rage: He made the coffee but Luke gets all the credit. Another possible explanation is that Luke got the Critic a latte on the way there and then just heated it up while everyone was distracted.

* So... is the Critic's costume decision to forego pants purely for RuleOfFunny? I know he's MrFanservice to some viewers, but to others he's not. Has anyone from the site ever hinted at a reason?
** I guess both for the joke and to show off his long legs. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fangirl, women on the site have said how nice they are.
** Most likely, Critic has never worn a skirt before. He's not used to it and didn't even realize that it was an issue.
** Ya well at least the real Link wore pants in some of the games.
** Maybe he tried on the tights but it felt too wrong for him and decided to just wear a skirt.

** Yeah, I'm fully aware of his pet peeves with "princesses who take responsibility". Just not how it applies to Zelda post-Ocarina of Time. Besides, Link's duty is fighting the UltimateEvil and preventing Hyrule's destruction ([[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker mostly]]), rather than saving Zelda.

** Maybe he has the same excuse as Mandarin in 90's WesternAnimation/IronMan cartoon? Hates technology to the point of trying to destroy it all but is ''not a fanatic'' (as Mandarin put it) and will use it if it's necessary?

*** The whole point is he's NotSoDifferent from everyone else but is too blinded by anger to see it.

* How did [[spoiler: Suede]] get recruited into being one of the obstacles?
** Easy money- Turns out [[spoiler: his Mormon church]] was just a cover...

*** Plus that temp thing also explains that he could easily have just picked up the Guardian job recently. That would explain where he's been since [[spoiler: February( when he said he would come back according to this very wiki).]] I seriously doubt he could have stayed in Chicago for two years without The Critic seeing him and I doubt that when the guardians go for food they wear their outfits(or they might just not care, but you can't eat though a mask).

** [[spoiler:The spirit in the gun probably decides what the gun is going to shoot, and is getting into the less advanced setting fun]]
** [[spoiler:It is possible that now that Linkara knows magic uses up a bit of life force he realizes that his magic gun doesn't have unlimited ammunition and only as many magic shots as the gun's spirit has remaining life force. He may be conserving magic shots for more important matters or to spare the spirit of the gun]]
*** [[spoiler: He's used the gun for 3+ Years, and the girl who was sacrificed parents spent her whole life planning this. Presumably the weapon was made specifically to bypass the CastFromHitPoints drawback, or else it wouldn't be worth all of that effort. Plus it was shown magic has a drain on the living, but there's no telling how it works with spirits, and the spirt could very well have a infinite supply.]]

** Well, even then, [[spoiler: Suede]] probably picked up some magic from the other obstacles (thus is dramatic sudden entrance), and the spirit of the Gun is probably an ample power source for a resurrection spell. I believe there even was a spell for that in Malachite's book.

** The whole "hypocrite" thing threw the Malachite character off. You're telling me someone that [[spoiler: blows people up for cell phones and kills people for GPS]] can overlook something on it's own? No. That goes from excellent villain to too unbelievable to comprehend.
*** To be fair he probably got most of his hatred from [[spoiler: Working at a Starbucks, the center of people absorbed with technology and spending years presumably working similar jobs. He probably ONLY uses the phone on his iPhone and probably just uses tech to get by. He's just so far removed from humanity he doesn't see the hypocritical part and it actually makes him even worse as a person. It's still somewhat frustrating though.]]

* When Ma-Ti showed up and yelled Heart the first time [[spoiler: before confronting Malachite, why didn't his ring shoot a beam of energy. It was his second time that it happened, neither time did he expect something to happen, so shouldn't it have worked sooner?]]
** Most of his introduction scenes have him holding his ring in the air. [[spoiler: Perhaps it only fires when it's aimed at Malachite?]]

* Why is it that the DVD cover doesn't have [[spoiler:Suede]] in it?

* Why did nobody leave when they found out there was no free car at the start?

*** I just assumed that after he was stopped from taking the whip onto the airplane, he just stopped taking it incase he got dragged into something like this or WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}, and needed to fly somewhere quickly. The reviewers are generally depicted as being fairly GenreSavvy when it comes things like that.

* RuleOfFunny aside, why did [[ToddInTheShadows Todd]] suddenly start having problems seeing in Part 3? He seemed fine before the whole quest started and he was wearing his mask the whole time.

* How come they can read Chick's subtitles, but not MarzGurl's?

** MarzGurl didn't tell them to.

** In real life, Doug moved between the filming of that review and Suburban Knights, so his house was different in this film.

* So, Linkara, who's fought an evil robot from another world, an interdimensional dictator, and a giant fracking robot, can't take an oversized rat? And meanwhile, Spoony, who has gone against a Black Lantern version of himself, a headless, and similar threats, just runs like a pansy as soon as danger shows up? Or is Suburban Knights not in canon with the others shows?

** In part 6, Linkara and Joe [[CombatPragmatist make indiscriminate use of their guns in a swordfight.]]

*** Linkara has a Starfleet teleporter. I assume that's also how he suddenly changed into his Admiral uniform. Or it's another setting on his morpher (along with clasic Linkara and Zeo!kara)

* Malachite tracks the original map correct, not the photocopy. So, if it's a chainletter, shouldn't the Critic's original map have also been a photocopy?

** [[spoiler:It is possible that now that Linkara knows magic uses up a bit of life force he realizes that his magic gun doesn't have unlimited ammunition and only as many magic shots as the gun's spirit has remaining lifeforce.

**** [[spoiler: He's used the gun for 3+ Years, and the girl who was sacrificed parents spent her whole life planning this. Presumabley the weapon was made specifically to bypass the CastFromHitPoints drawback, or else it wouldn't be worth all of that effort. Plus it was shown magic has a drain on the living, but there's no telling how it works with spirits, and the spirt could very well have a infinite supply.]]
**** It's also possibly that only BlackMagic drains your lifeforce. Linkara uses the magic gun for (mostly) heroic purposes, whereas Malachite is using magic to ''slaughter'' people. Adding further credence to this, we've seen numerous other characters using magic without the drawback.

*** Not really, since it would come after Linkara, Jow & Lupa shooting Malachite to no avail. Whilst they could have rearranged the scene so that the Snob shot first, it would make Linkara trying the same thing redundant.

** Well, even then, [[spoiler: Suede]] probably picked up some magic from the other obstacles (thus is dramatic sudden entrance), and the spirit of the Gun is probably an ample power source for a resurrection spell. I believe there even was a spell for that in Malechite's book.

** Maybye he has the same excuse as Mandarin in 90's IronMan cartoon? Hates technology to the point of trying to destroy it all but is ''not a fanatic'' (as Mandarin put it) and will use it if it's necessary?

* Shouldn't Jaffers be a bit more depressed by what's happened since he was imprisoned? He did use the internet, so it's hard to believe that he didn't look up what happened while he was sealed away. After all, TheEighties alone had the Challenger explosion, Tianenmen Square, Chernobyl, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking tacky fasion]], and many other things

** Bennet was refering to the anniversary movies taking place "Elseworld" to explain the lack of continuity between the 20+ storylines that the reviewers have and the events in the movies. Things such as Linkara hating Joe in Kickassia and Jew Wario and the Chick becoming 'friendly' in Suburban Knights are written off as basically being an Alternate History story.

** The "Elseworld" theory has been thoroughly Jossed as of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', which manages to both tie in all the previous plotlines ''and'' explain away the discrepancies.

** I have the impression that Doug only played the 2D Zelda games in his childhood, and he hasn't played any of the newer ones. He probably have heard about them but doesn't know all the plot details or specifics. His comment about the chickens attacking him sounds more like something from Alttp, and he's just the right age for being a SNES kid(also notice he calls them ''chickens'' and not ''cuccos'', like in all the games after Ocarina of Time). And well, character developtment and everything, Zelda does still get kidnapped a lot (but she's no Peach, definitely!)

*** Or, alternatively, we get a shot of Malachite staring at the field early in the movie. Perhaps he knew where it was hidden, but Jaffers had put a spell on the Stormdrain of Secrets that prevented Malachite from withdrawing the gauntlet, leading him to search for a catspaw.
* Why is it that the DVD cover doesen't have [[spoiler:Suede]] in it?
