• He has the Nerd's face, and a sweet hat reminiscent of Yahtzee's. All three are critics who gleefully tear apart bad stuff. The only problem is why the combination of two video-game reviewers creates a comic-book reviewer.
  • We know that Linkara is a clone.......
    • AND I AM A MAN!!!! * punch*
  • None of them are aware of it based on Linkara's hate for clones, Linkara claims the only internet critic he follows is the Irate gamer and AVGN didn't act in a manner you'd expect him to if he knew he was meeting his clone during the recent epic battle.
    • Then again, judging by AVGN's reaction to Linkara during the Adamantium Rage review and the swift beat down of Linkara that resulted...
    • Well, it was only one punch, really. I think AVGN just knows video game-induced rage when he sees it, having experienced it himself hundreds of times.
  • Perhaps this explains Linkara's love for the Silent Hill series despite never playing a single game: it is a genetic trait he inherited from Yahtzee.
  • He made a Shout Out to Zero Punctuation in one of his reviews.
• He is from a Crack Fic where fangirls paired Yahtzee and the AVGN. In that universe, Homosexual Reproduction is the only way and Benzaine is ruler of the world. Also, doughnuts rain from the sky.

Purple Prose and Crowning Moment of Awesome ?! He's got to be a troper!

• Seems to be confirmed in the intro to his review of Daredevil #306. If he's not a Troper, he is at least aware of the wiki's existence. "Oh my god, TV Tropes used one of my quotes!"
  • Also, in his New Guardians #2 review, take a look at the Freeze Frame Bonus. He says hi to us!
  • Fun fact: Purple Prose is not a term this wiki invented.
• He's also used the term "heel turn".
  • Also not a term created by this Wiki.
• We invented squick, right? He used that.
  • This troper was using the term squick long before knowing of this site.
    • Person, you are absolutely no fun.
    • Actually as This Troper understands it, squick was invented by some guy on a bdsm forum as a term that means ""you may be disgusted by it, but it's someone else's fetish"", apparently that meaning has fallen out of use...
• What about "stripperiffic"? Where did that originate?
  • It didn't originate here, but a lot of people know that word from here.
• Considering how self serving many of the entries on the site have been, it's hard to imagine he isn't a Troper. A page about thatguywiththeglasses being more about him, a side feature is a bit of a hint.
  • Or maybe he just has a lot of fans on both TGWTG and this wiki, and his series invokes a lot of tropes?
    • Maybe. But the section under Fetish Fuel seems a bit iffy.
    • Trust me. There are Linkara fangirls. (I should know - I'm one!)
    • And fanboys!
    • Ditto
    • Shove off, he's mine!
    • Girls, girls, girls. Calm down, there's no need to fight. Can't we just share?
    • BWA HA HA HA!! I like this human, HE UNDERSTANDS.
    • I will trade you Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, David Tennant, John Barrowman, and Jensen Ackles for Linkara.
    • Pfft. Amateurs. *slides on a Harley Quinn costume and bides her time*
    • *takes off his Harley Quinn costume* Don't bother trying sister, I've been doing this for months.
    • We can't ALL dress as Harley!
  • He's built a sizable fandom on the Toonzone forums as well - they had to split the TGWTG commentary thread and give him his own. I have to agree with the post there arguing that he's the biggest up-and-comer on the site right now. (He even got third billing in the brawl! Before Benzaie! Before Spoony!)
    • Actually, that was done mostly in order of appearance.
• Good God, he's watching us right now!
  • He could be you! He could be me!
  • He could even b- BOOOOM!
    • What? It was obvious. He was Linkara. Watch, he'll turn back any second now. (Pokes corpse with shotgun) Aaany second now...
    • How do we know you aren't really Linkara?
    • We'll have to shoot both of them; it's the only way to be sure.
    • But what if you're Linkara?
    • Everyone is Linkara in TV Tropes.
    • Everyone is Linkara for TV Tropes.
    • ...WHAT?!?
  • Oh God This means he's...
    • Right behind you.
    • No, no. That's silly. Now, Mechakara...
    • ... is in front of you.
• Now it's confirmed that Linkara reads TV Tropes, but he isn't a Troper. At least that's what he claims...
• He mentioned and implied so many tropes in his Top 15 for Countdown that I'm wondering if they're really part of his vocabulary or if he's just teasing us. But the entire review was practically written like a tvtropes page for Countdown would be.
  • Though he did use "Discontinuity" differently that we would.
• Maybe he's the one who's made the ATFW page.
  • I thought that was a result of other tropers wanting to split up That Guy With The Glasses?
  • AC Drawings: Actually, that was me, Sorry.
• I just came across the term "narmish" in his New Guardians text review. Did TV Tropes invent that?
  • Yes.
• Does anyone else think that he's deliberately writing his lines so that they get used as page quotes?
• He's used Wild Mass Guessing... GASP! He's on to us!
• He's probably not a troper out of fear of the fanboys. Though we've had Slowbeef and Raocow on here without a thousand fanboys Zerg Rushing at them. Besides, remember that only a small portion of readers actually edit the articles, and even fewer are part of the "troper community", so it makes sense that Linkara isn't a troper.
  • ... Wait, Slowbeef and Raocow are tropers?!
    • They (and a couple of other Goons) were on the Let's Play Discussion page to answer questions about how threads on the Let's Play board of Something Awful are occasionally blocked off to non-subscribers.
• I did see one comment that was definitely written by him, clarifying that a reference to the Ninja Style Dancer being around while he was supposed to be captured/erased by the Entity, was not canon. But, that doesn't mean he edits the wiki regularly.

He's got the gun, he's got the dagger, he's got the hat, he owns a suit, the guy who makes his title cards is a BLU Spy, and his arch-rival is Dr. Insano, an obvious Engineer. He's got the gun, he's got the dagger, he's got the hat, he owns a suit, the guy who makes his title cards is a BLU Spy, and his arch-rival is Dr. Insano, an obvious Engineer. He does seem to be a superhero and why else would he be in possession of the dragon dagger?

• Alternative: 90's Kid was a former Power Ranger, the Red one specifically, but his evil split personality Linkara took over and killed the Green Ranger to steal his dagger. The trauma inflicted on both personalities drove 90's Kid evil (or at least obnoxious) and forced Linkara into being the dominant personality, tempering his villainy, and forcing him to seek redemption by protecting the world from bad comic books.
  • Possibly confirmed by the 2010 trailer.
• Both confirmed and Jossed by the Mechakara fight. He has a morpher and rangerlike weapons, but as his transformed state is not the standard spandex-and-helmet (it looks just like his fedora and jacket), he is technically classified as a "Ranger-Like Ally", in the vein of the Blue Centurion or the Magna Defender. Also, 90's kid and Linkara are clearly separate people, and Linkara is the one with the morpher, so 90's kid was never a Ranger.
• And now he has a new morpher form combining his trademark outfit with a Zeo Ranger and dyed white.
• Perhaps he had the humbler job of being the tech expert of the Power Rangers.
• Confirmed as part of linkara's badass boast in Silent hill dead alive #5.

He loves the Silver Age. Plus, he keeps screaming "I AM A MAN!" As if he needs to reassure himself of that, because he's been artificially aged.

• Except he doesn't. One of the first books he took apart was a Silver Age Batman comic. He seems more fond of the Bronze Age.
  • Or maybe...
• In canon, Superboy-Prime ended up ranting about comics in his parent's basement.
• Perhaps he's Superboy-Prime during a Heel Face Turn, where, using his superpowers, went back in time, altered his appearance and decided to start anew. His hatred of Prime is genuine-he loathes what he did back then.

He mentioned how he sees Bea Arthur while on drugs. it couldn't be random! It has to be him!

• Also Deadpool recently used a flintlock pistol while underwater, which shouldn't be possible... unless it was MAGIC and he wouldn't have to explain it.
  • Or the writer was a fan of Atop the Fourth Wall which is even more awesome.

Think about it; They have the same hat, they have groupies, Main enemy is a Mad Scientist, they have an Alliterative Name, and started their series in 2007.

• ...that. Is. GENIUS.
• Also, they both have evil robotic counterparts.

Watch the alternate endings to the Silent Hill Review. At one point he writes a note and signs it "L".

• Does that make Dr. Insano Kira?
• Makes sense. Insano is, after all, the alter ego of Spoony, just like Kira is the alter ego of Light.
• Unlikely. If he was, he (and the rest of the TGWTG cast, for that matter) would be far more hesitant to reveal their true names.
• Unless Lewis Lovhaug is not his true name. It's the internet.
  • Lewis Lovhaug is such an obvious alias for a comic book geek it's almost painful.

Just one certain Lewis Lovhaug pretending to be multiple female tropers.

• Alternatively, Linkara is the result of a genetic engineering experiment specifically meant to create Fetish Fuel for female Tropers (or Troper-esque girls, anyway). Seriously, do you know how unlikely it is to find a cute, nerdy, funny, feminist guy who isn't gay or taken? (Of course, that just may be this troper's weird standards talking). This may also apply to many other Channel Awesome guys.
  • It's the same experiment that created Summer Glau. It has to be!
    • He is taken. Sorry ladies.
  • If he is the byproduct of such engineering, then this is proof that the government is stupid. Who makes that kind of experiment without having a few backups? You know, in case the original is...um... faulty.

His voice sounds masculine. So does his looks. He also reviews comic books, mostly for males. Punch.

He is confused about his gender identity, so he should probably go to a local library to look up some more information especially in light of the fact that transgender rights don't get as much attention as other rights.

• * Punch*
• This is what Ask that Guy believes.

He just doesn't know it.But I AM A MAN!*punch* Either by Joan Redfern when he was human, or by dancing with Reinette. Some of the technology in the TARDIS was left behind, passed down through generations Linkara said Insano wasn't supposed to be a man. Insano is Spoony (Timey Wimey Ball induced Spoony to be precise). Spoony of Earth-982 (the one in Partymania) is a girl. It stands to reason that either Linkara originates from Earth-982 and arrived in the main Channel Awesome universe,or Earth-982 was the original timeline before it was altered. The Insano we saw in that universe was Linksano, while the female Insano is the Timey Wimey Ball female Spoony. Linkara is the only one with memories of this. As stated in Ask That Guy With The Glasses #54.

Going with the above theory, Linkara is constantly asserting the fact that SHE IS A MAN! because she doesn't feel she's doing a good enough job. Or something.

• Or Ask That Guy is a lying liar who lies.

While he only uses a magic gun, in one recent review, he has shown to use actual magic by teleporting from one place to another. He just doesn't use his magic because he feels that he doesn't have to rely on using it to get him out of a jam. Also that could be one of the reasons why Dr.Insano feuds with him cause Dr.Insano is a science guy and sees anything concerning magic illogical. Specifically, during the Family of Blood attack. Unknown to John Smith or the Doctor, he left Joan Redfern a "gift". He would later learn this, and gave Joan some Time Lord tech as compensation. Said tech would be passed through the family until it reached Linkara, who, thanks to the notes left by John Smith and having worked for Power Rangers, would allow him to use the sonic screwdriver. Predicted uses? "THAT! MAKES! NO! FUCKING! SENSE!" "This comic FUCKING sucks." "(to the writer of the comic) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (insert name here)!!!!!!!!" Or more subtly, "This, this abomination is the worst, twisted, just plain fucked up comic I have ever read."

• That must be a pretty bad comic that's even worse than OMD. I wonder what kind of comic that could be. I would say Sonichu, but he don't do Webcomics.

Going off the above entry,we never actually see when, or where linkara met iron Liz, Harvey, ninja style dancer, or 90's kid. Perhaps they were an old team of power rangers who disbanded after their Big bad was defeated, But kept in contact. So now the entity, who in keeping with the last WMG is lord zedd, is trying to pick off all power rangers and their 6Th rangers i.e. Lord Vyce. This would also explain where he got the power rangers's tech, power rangers are known to do team ups, so maybe in one of those team ups linkara was able to reverse engineer some of the power rangers's tech and that's how he got them.

• Linkara would be the red ranger.
• Harvey would be the Blue ranger.
• Liz would be the yellow ranger.
• Ninja style dancer would be the black ranger.
• Lieutenant Munro is the pink ranger
• Pollo is their version of alpha.
• Lord Vyce is the green ranger.

Alternatively, Linkara stated on Twitter that HE is the real Phantom Ranger, so there's that possibility.

[[WMG: Linkara is a puer magi. Relating to the Linkara is a sorcerer hypothesis, Linkara is a magical boy. His wish could have been: [[indent:number: I wish to be a Power Ranger.]] His wish resulted fantastic elements of Atop The Fourth Wall. The nature of the wish resulted in his soul gem having the form of a morpher.

In the countdown reviews, there was a robotic Linkara trying to get some kind of reaction from him. Whatever the reaction he wanted, he got it and now robotic Linkara has taken over. Think about it, at the end of Spoony's Final Fantasy VIII review, Linkara was acting quite odd, and not only that, but despite the fact that he hates clones, he planned on making a Spoony clone.

• [[spoiler: He actually does for the Ultimates 3 #5 review. Plus he's been making small allusions to the return of Mechakara for some time now, however all will be reve

Insano received a blow to the head (delivered by an unknown source or person), giving him amnesia. This explains his surprise to see Mechakara. The unknown Mad Scientist from the 2010 trailer is the Vice President (seeing how Insano is President Evil), took over during Insano's recovery, and not only took over America, but Mechakara as well.

• Insano's VP is Fu Manchu.
• Jossed, why would Insano create something that nearly killed Linkara twice only to destroy it with his magnetic death ray?

• ...was built by Linkara, rejected as an abomination, and seeks revenge. Jossed.
  • Well, not our Linkara...
• ...will be defeated by Linkara in a scene mirroring the one in Superman at Earth's End.
  "You are an android, I AM A MAN!!!"
  • He did it! Linkara used the "I am a man!" punch on Mechakara, complete with the above quote! Unfortunately it failed due to Mechakara being made of metal...
    • And he did it again in the second Mechakara fight. This time, it was more successful.
• ...was created by Pollo to do a Hostile Show Takeover. Jossed.
• ...IS Pollo, from the future or otherwise.
  • We have a winner! He's Pollo from an alternate universe, brought into contact with ours by Insano messing around with hypertime.aled next week. (February 15, 2010)]]

Dr. Insano remotely piloting a rebuilt Mechakara's body. While it would be in character for Dr. Insano to torture Mechakara to death simply over the haircut and trying to usurp his place as Linkara's archenemy, Dr. Insano now has a mindless robot he can reprogram to pilot remotely that has several major advantages over him; it is immune to the magic gun, and indeed, most of Linkara's weapons, and it can take even an "I AM A MAN!" punch, which is more than can be said of our squishy scientist. With Insano's brains guiding such an advanced, durable body, Insano will give Linkara the fight of his life!

• Jossed.

• ...created Mechakara and is the true Big Bad. Jossed.
• ...is the combined form of Linkara and Dr. Insano (Dr. Linkano/Linkarno?). Jossed.
  • Huh. I thought Linkano was something else.
    • No, that's Inskara.
    • ...seriously? How do you pronounce that?
    • In-Scar-A?
• ...is the alternate-universe Dr. Insano seen during the Warrior #1 review. Very likely, see below.
• ...is Linkara from the future, after being driven insane. Jossed.
• ...was created from Linkara punching the wall. Jossed.
• ...was created from Linkara punching the fourth wall. Jossed.
• ...is the other Sclumper Brother from Spoony's Party Mania review. Confirmed!

As of the Strange Adventures #136 review, we have an answer...sort of. His name is Dr. Linksano, and, like Mechakara/Evil Pollo, he's from an alternate universe spawned out of the whole Warrior #1 incident. However, aside from him breaking the continuity alarm, we really don't have any more information on him.

• Because it's the only thing that would complete the "V" theme he had going on. Well, short of having a clone of V there.

Well, why else would a universal conqueror start his conquest of our universe by kidnapping an internet comic book reviewer? He must want to destroy the Linkara of each universe he wishes to take over. Maybe the Linkara of his native dimension wronged him in the biggest way and he's taking revenge on all who share his identity. Maybe Linkara is some kind of key tangent who holds the power to control each verse within him. Of maybe Lord Vyce IS Linkara and does not want any others running around the multiverse. Whatever the case, it will be AWESOME.

• I bet five bucks that it's another Mechakara that came from yet another tangent universe (probably one where HE won in their fight in the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1" review), gained access to the multiverse (and also some powers, maybe), and started wiping every form of Linkara out of existence.
  • Or another Insano
• But Linkara has a magic gun (plus a few other weapons), is a Star Fleet Captain, a Power Ranger and A MAN. kidnapping him isn't such a bad idea

From The end of the second Warrior review it looks like Mechakara is coming back, along with the new Big Bad, Lord Vyce. and hey, Mechakara will never skip aמ opportunity to kill Linkara

• CONFIRMED! As of the Star Trek: Elite Force comic review, they've teamed up

There is no way that they introduced him only to have him run away, and Linksano SAID that Vyce already came to his earth, so what are the chance of a Valley Girl against a frikin' Multiversal Conqueror

• JOSSED He's working for Vyce and Upgrading Mechakara
  • CONFIRMED!! He was a double agent to lower the time shield and let the Angry Joe army in.

• Nope, see below.

Like the above, but much more likely. It would be easier to use recycled ranger footage to show Villamax as a subordinate of Vyce, rather than the main villain.

Let's face it, that would be frickin' awesome. However, this will probably result in The Worf Effect.

• Jossed Linkara's stated in a forum post that this won't happen.
• And now it's been revealed that Mechakara has teamed up with Lord Vyce.

Dr. Insano DID say something about Mechakara in Spoony's recent Final Fantasy X Video, could this have something to do with Lord Vyce arriving to this dimension?

• It's was also a Call Back to The Stinger in the end of the second Warrior review, but I support your theory.
• CONFIRMED!!!!!

Pollo did state that Linkara has access to powerful weapons and a great deal of knowledge. What if that the way that Lord Vyce takes over universes was taking over the bodies of the most powerful people in that universe? Like Dr. Linksano.

• Of course of course of course. prostitutes.
• And he will be dressed all in green with a mask. That would be cool, like the Green Ranger.

Dr. Insano recently lost Neutro (in Spoony's Final Fantasy X Part 1 review) and Mechakara is probably coming back, it's not a big stretch to assume that Mechakara took him, planing on making a Robot Apocalypse out of our universe as well.

• Maybe Mechakara possessed Neutro. He was nothing but his eye plate and Neutro needs a pilot to do anything, it's a perfect set up.
• Sort of confirmed; Linkara stole Neutro, turned it into a Megazord-esque Humongous Mecha, and used it to defeat giant-sized Mechakara.

...that will look very similar to his room for no real reason. Linkara is a troper, right? He might be aware of Take Our Word for It. In order to not disapoint his fans, he won't show Vyce, so the viewers can think of what Vyce looks like to them, making Vyce ten times creepier.

• Semi-Jossed. Vyce made a full appearance (although covered in full body armor) in part five of the Silent Hill: Dead/Alive review.

Time moves at a different pace there. And it'd be awesome. That's all I got.

I say this because two of the newer videos on TGWTG have been removed, both of them reviews of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room". Some people attribute it to Wiseau's doing, but, knowing how much the site loves crossover events, this Troper attributes it to the Critic and Lupa being kidnapped by Vyce.

• Speaking of which, how cool would it have been if, instead of the sea horses, it had been Lord Vyce who had conquered the Earth in the future that NC was brought to? Sure it would've lost it's non-sequitur humor, but it would've made for an awesome bit of foreshadowing as well as adding weight to the imminent threat that Vyce poses.
  • And this was unfortunately Jossed. It was taken down because, in fact, Tommy Wiseau is just a douche.

Sure, he conquers all that he sees; luckily, he can't see anything.

Lord Vyce posses the ability to control people's minds if he has them in his sight... Like a morre powerful version of the Master's hypnotism abilities. It would be a cool twist and explain why he's such a multiversal threat... guy who can take complete control of you just by looking at you is not someone to be messed with

• Jossed. The 100th episode was a Sonic review, and Linkara moving. Nothing more.

Liz already confirmed that the two will be moving in together, so he'll have to come up with an explanation for why the scenery changes. Plus it can double as a shout out to Spoony.

• Or, in-universe, he just moves out, and realizes: "...I left my copies of Countdown in there..." He then proceeds to blow the living daylights out of the house, laughing madly and screaming, "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!"
• Semi-Jossed:While his house was destroyed in an explosion and he did move in with Liz, he did so because he thought his house was a weirdness magnet. But he did boobie trap it for anyone who would dare try to take it in his abcence. Cue [[Phelous]].
  • So Inverted trope?

At the end of the Elite Force review, Mechakara and Lord Vyce are now working together. Mechakara suggests they have to psychologically break Linkara using a bad comic, while simultaneously ruining his understanding of magic. One More Day represents the triumph of the Wizard over consistent rules, which would very well destroy Linkara's understanding of magic. Plus, One More Day is the one comic he promised he'd never do, no matter how much he hated it. By forcing him to review it, Lord Vyce and Mechakara will have broken Linkara mentally and emotionally.

• Plus, seems like a lot of people really want to see him tear into it.
  • The 99th video is going to be "Top 15 Comics I'll Never Review". Coincidence? I doubt it.

It just came to me. Admit it though, it will be pretty cool. And their trio of evil will be complete.

• As of the end of Part 2 of Spoony's FFX review, this looks to be a distinct possibility!
  • Jossed. At the end of Part 3, Spoony and BL Spoony were genetically merged.

He's obviously Linakara's favorite ranger so far, he's a sheer badass, and it's already evident that he can weld arcs together from his other series'.

In the power rangers review Mechakara stayed in this universe even after he had adapted to Linkara's magic gun and gotten the data to defeat the human resistence in his universe why, because when he analyzed Linkara's magic gun he found that it is connected to a source of power that is capable of wiping out all organic life in the multiverse! now isn't it strange that Linkara's gun is powerful enough to have such a drastic effect on the multiverse and now he is facing Lord Vyce a multiversal conqueror. Confirmed. Will include one or more of the following

• One More Day (if it isn't, its the 100th episode's subject)
  • Well, it wasn't a hard guess.
• Incarnate
• Lightbringer and or Revolution of the Mask.
• Ctrl+Alt+Del
  • Covered under webcomics.
• (A) Porn comic(s).
  • Two infact.
• The Twilight graphic novel and/or Manhwa
• Manga
  • Ai.
• Archie Sonic comics
  • Ai.

Since he was ordered only to do a "Sonic Comic", he's going to review another comic with the word "sonic" in the comic. I mean, hey, it's only his fanbase, what are they going to do?

• Jossed.

In the Seibertron podcast he mentions that he is going to review the worst comic he'd ever read at some point, indicating it isn't One More Day (as he won't review it). Given what he thinks of One More Day, if something is somehow worse than it, Linkara will never willingly read it.

He searches through forbidden and dangerous lore, he is capable of creating magical and advanced technological weapons and equipment, he is capable of summoning, binding, and banishing demons, and he's been able to patch himself up after some pretty bad fights (and made a clone of Spoony). He even said "I'm glad I chose being awesome as a career!"; that's practically the tagline of the Solar Exalted.

• His gun is even a Hellforged soulsteel firewand!
• Isn't it the tagline for most Exalted? I thought that was the point of the game.

Think about it. Between Iron Liz's debut being preceded by a green star child, Lord Vyce's green-tinted environment, the green futon, Pollo possessing a "green setting," Mr. Lovhaug's recent acquisition of a Green Ranger costume, Green Lantern... Need I go on? Oh, and for bonus points, remember last year's Silent Hill endings in which Pollo foretold of Mechakara in the "worst" ending? Methinks Pollo's "green setting" has something to do with Vyce.

It would be EPIC! Following on the theory that Lord Vyce is from the Power Rangers universe, he may be in possession of the Dragon Coin, having dug it out of Lord Zedd's trash or something. As such, he will give somebody the Green Ranger powers (possibly another TGWTG contributor that lives relatively close and likes power rangers... If any exist at the moment) and cast a spell on them to make them evil as Tommy had been. He will then proceed to kick Linkara's ass 20 different ways at once.

• Considering that the suit probably fits Lewis best, I think it's more likely he'll give the powers to Mechakara or Linksano. Or, they could be part of the upgrade Linksano gives to Mechakara.

The first V minus was at 42. The Second was at 35 this is exactly 7, The Videos were released 7 days apart. Thus Vyce will launch his attack during the Superman: Distant Fire Review and it will be concluded on the DOUBLE FEATURE SURPRISE on the 14/2.

• For Americans, that is February 14, not July 2.
• Confirmed.

At the end of his fight with Mechakara, his Mighty Morphin' morpher is cracked and is missing the power coin. But, according to Power Rangers canon, the morphers still work even when damaged (although it's dangerous). They just need a power source. Like, say, a magic coin to replace the one Mechakara took.

• He has said in the comments that it alreddy was the power coin for the morpher, hence why he didn't have it in the 2nd Mechakara fight.

It has been established that Vyce is a desperate anti-villain who seeks to destroy a great evil thing. Once he is defeated, that evil thing will be free to wreak havoc in all universes, and it'll be up to Linkara to save his own universe.

When Linkara managed to lightly wound him, Lord Vyce panicked and leaves. He is from a completely different universe. He may be vulnerable to this world's diseases and viruses or even just the time differences between his ship and the outside universe. He can't even be exposed for a second to the elements or he might die.

• Confirmed

We all know Linkara reads his comments and frequents TV Tropes, so he obviously knows about the fans conflicting views on the arc, and of course he's Genre Savvy enough to know what ticks viewers off while at the same time making them fangasm. Hey, if Tite Kubo can troll his fanbase, then so can Lewis.

Its revealed that Mechakara still lives, just as a weakened hand. Not to mention we learned that Vyce is a Well-Intentioned Extremist. If and when Mechakara rebuilds, it will attempt to usurp Vyce and/or steal his tech to use the Entity for his own means

• a member of That Guy With The Glasses

The secret is apparently living, and Linkara has thrown away his Chekov's Guns. I'd think logically he would pick Apollo or Angry Joe, but it will probably be Spoony.

• It might be someone that Iron Liz is afraid of since she indicate that she is risking life and limb. It could be someone like Dr. Insano. After all, what's the point of trying to take over the world if someone way stronger is going to take over before you?
  • It would be risky trying to get to Apollo. He is being hunted after all. Also, Joe's probably dangerously close to Vyce if he's in orbit.
  • Confirmed, it was Linksano

• a cybernetically enhanced animal

Alive? Check. Dangerous? Double check. Awesome? More like Crazy Awesome! Jossed

• Tommy Wiseau
  • Would you expect it?! He is a Cloud Cuckoolander.
  • Jossed

• This is the second episode in a row his absence has been mentioned, when the character doesn't show up too often and therefore his absence wouldn't particularly conspicuous if Linkara didn't bring it up. So I'm calling Chekhov's Gun.
  • Alternatively the dancer IS the Entity! And as the Cross Over with Shortpacked! indicates only a team up with Ninja Rick is going to defeat him.

Confirmed

The Entity knew that Vyce was following it and deliberately lead him into universes filled with stubborn skeptics, giving Vyce the impression that the only way to protect them is to conquer and enslave them. The Entity, being a cruel and sadistic...um...Entity, set this up on purpose, for the fun of watching Vyce, the self appointed "Champion" against the Entity, blindly following it wherever it goes and doing it's dirty work of destruction and the spreading of suffering. The noise (presumably it's laughter) is the result of it witnessing the long unexpected spectacle of someone successfully fighting Vyce's attacks off for once. Now that the Entity's favorite toy is broken, it's going to finally act personally. Judas was surprisingly absent during the final battle. Perhaps she knew that it was over after the Angry Joe Army stormed the ship and escaped instead of fighting for a lost cause.

Her main goal is still to kill Iron Liz, but not even Lord Vyce had a chance against Iron Liz and Linkara together (as well as 90s Kid, Harvey, Pollo, and all the other guys that hang out at their place). So her plan is to lure Liz into a trap by using a Mechakara disguised as Linkara. She steals the hand, finds a way to repair him and gives him the chance to make Linkara suffer by killing one of his loved ones. Of course, he agrees.

And the entity is the "glitch" in the world. Shrimp are important parts of the multi-verse, and a universe without shrimp is obviously broken in some way. The only way to defeat the Entity is to force it into the world of nothing but shrimp, causing it's anti-shrimping powers to be cancelled out and leaving it stuck in a void of nothingness. We know that Lord Vyce set out to stop The Entity. Vyce did so by taking over universes and protecting them himself. The Silent basically controlled Earth to do whatever they wanted through manipulation, and have been WMG to have been holding back an amazingly powerful enemy, strong enough to be the one who destroyed the TARDIS. If thats true, then The Silent sent Vyce off to do the same to other universes. The only difference is Vyce doesn't see the need for/sucks at stealth and maniuplation, therefore did so by brute force.

  • Son Of Insano was mentioned in the review, coincidence? probably,but it'll be a nice turn-of-events

• ...BEAR
  • The bears are everywere, man!
• ...Villamax reborn
  • We only have Linksano's word for it that Vyce is a an evil overlord, and even then a lot of stuff points to it. The fact that both share V at the start of their name, that they're targeting Rangers only (that is if Vyce hasn't kidnapped Linkara's family or Iron Liz) and something about Lord Vyce's name suggests an honorable evil guy. ... plus, anyone whose seen the Lost Galaxy video's Linkara's put up knows that Villamax is awesome.
    • Nah, Villamax didn't seem like the "TAKE OVER ZHE MULTIVERSE" guy... Unless this is an alternate Villamax who got killed somehow...
    • Well given that he's trying to SAVE the multiverse now, its a little more likely.
• ...your mom.
• ...a merger of all Power Rangers villains ever
• ...an AU version of Lord Zedd
  • A much more successful universe-conquering version of Lord Zedd. Hoo boy.
    • That's funny because in my mind he looks like Lord Zed. hmmmmmmm...
• ...a villain from the Power Rangers universe
  • There's just something Power Rangers-ish about a guy named Lord Vyce who even the reality-breaking Mad Scientist is absolutely terrified of. Hell, even Linksano's reaction to his arrival calls up Rita Repulsa's Oh Crap Moment when she spotted the Machine Empire in Zeo.
• ...Bennet the Sage
  • Not an AU Bannet, the real Earth-Prime Bennet. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch.
• ...Dr. Claw.
• ...a Phantasm.
  • Y'know, from Uncanny X-Men 424. Or at least it's the same costume.
  • And Linkara's clone. They both wear black robe and metal gauntlets and it would explain Vyce's hatred for Linkara.
• ...the physical embodiment of TV Tropes.
  • I had a really good reason for this earlier but I forget what it is now. It sounds awesome so it's entirely justified.

• ...a new character
  • He isn't anybody we've ever seen on this or any other show, nor is he a version of them from another dimension. Considering how many Epileptic Trees have been planted about his identity, it would be the ultimate twist!
  • Confirmed by Linkara.
• ...an AU version of Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz, to go along with the WMG that Linkara is an AU version of Perry the Platypus.
  • You mean this Doofenshrmitz?
• ...an AU version of the Nostalgia Critic. All that he sees, he conquers. OF COURSE!
  • Remember how batshit insane and power drunken the NC was as ruler of Kickassia? Well in one special AU he remained in power and Team TGWTG was executed after a failed coup d'état. Without them, nobody could stop the NC from taking over the universe. But that wasn't enough to satisfy his still growing lust for power. Thus Lord Vcye, conquerer of the muliverse was born. In all A Us Linkara is his primary target for two reasons. First of all, he was one of the heads behind the coup d'état. So Lord Vcye knows that he is dangerous. And secondly: A BAT CREDIT CARD!!!
    • Linkara brings up the Bat Credit Card more than anyone else on TGWTG.
• Nostalgia Chick: In a alternate universe she succeeded in overthrowing the Nostalgia Critic and became the new leader of Kickassia. She actually managed to rule Kickassia much better than Critic but like him she became corrupt and wanted to expand her power. First it was the US, then it was the world, when that didn't satisfy she then uses Insano's tech to prepare her campaign to take over the Milti-verse. Sure while it's easy to assume Lord Vyce is a guy that could be Nostalgia Chick's way of throwing people off so that they wont figure out it's her.
• An AU version of the Magic Gun's father.
  • AU!father had somehow failed to create the perfect weapon, and took to conquering multiverses to spread his beliefs. Upon discovering that his real world counterpart succeded, he became determined to get the gun from Linkara. Also, if one wants to take this WMG further, the "Source" is the evil God.
• ...That Dude In The Suede. Suede was an out-of-dimension tourist who made his character a Mormon in order to have an excuse to leave the dimension every once in a while. Upon returning home and encountering The Entity, Suede tried to warn people about the Entity, but they wouldn't listen. So, just as Lord Vyce said, he conquered them with his hyper-advanced technology in order to protect them. Up until a while ago, Suede was avoiding Linkara's earth to avoid having to fight his old friends. Then he came up with a brilliant solution! He would become the masked Lord Vyce so that he would never have to look his friends in the eye as they asked him "Why Suede, why?". Vyce's ultimate defeat will involve him being revealed as Suede. After Linkara pulls off Vyce's mask, Linkara will convince Suede that the internet heroes of his Earth can bring down The Entity, mentioning how they already took over a micronation.
• AU Spoony, now fused with Clone!Spoony and Black Lantern!Spoony in that transporter mishap.
• The Undertaker. Conquering universes is what he does in his spare time. This is also how he keeps "coming back from the dead". He (the character, not Mark Callaway) jumps to an AU whenever he gets "killed off" in matches, kind of like The Fallen.
• AU Linkara. Think about it.
  • Jossed. Linkara confirmed that he isn't an AU version because he has too many of those already.
• Working under a sort of Dread Pirate Roberts operation. All those other "Champions" became the new Lord Vyce.
• A Makuta.
  • Vyce seems to have some sort of weakness connected to his armor being damaged....maybe he's worried his Antidermis will leak out?
• Earth Prime's Monitor, whichever one that is (I'm guessing Bob).
• Pokemon trainer Red. If the Entity is Missingno(there are similairities), then it's only fitting that Lord Vyce is from the Pokemon universe. Plus Red is that world's champion...

And by that I mean he is an actual lord named Vyce if only because it would be hilarious when Linkara finds out. . With the recent reveal of the Entity being Missingno, it would make sense that someone from a similar universe would want to try and stop it from corrupting anything else.

• It makes sense, because what does he do? He goes around fighting the CHAMPIONS of different lands
  • He can talk. Something wrong has happened.
  • He wants to be the very best, that no one ever was
• Worse, he may have accidentally captured Missingno. After all, if he's Red, he likely captured it since the player wanted it.

Ash and his friends discovered the Entity off the coast of Cinnabar Island. Their every attempt to stop it failed, and one by one Ash was forced to watch his friends get absorbed by the Entity. It then worked on the rest of the world's population, until only Ash and Pikachu were left. For years, the two of them kept moving, trying to escape the Entity. They eventually came upon an old Team Rocket bunker that the Entity apparently would not enter. However, as they were trying to get inside, Pikachu was absorbed by the Entity. Ash swore revenge against the Entity, and used the technology found inside the Rocket base to construct a new power suit and automated soldiers (the Shades) to aid him. He eventually was able to construct a mode of space travel which would eventually evolve into his ship, and later become the Comicron 1. Using technology gathered from other worlds, Ash—now calling himself Lord Vyce—soon gained the ability to travel between universes and time zones. And thus the conquest of Lord Vyce began.

• Or he's Trainer Red. Red was the original character found in Pokémon Red and Blue, the game with the most glitches in it.
• Its possible that maybe be Ash after all. Think about it, when you think about Ash you think about a idiot hero as soon you heard of him because of the first impression you all had either by the manga or the anime so he eventually learned psychology and decided that he need to start over if he wants to use that kind of power against something as The Entity and used the Vyce name

• The Entity is from the pokemon universe, and its actions caused Arceus to turn into a Knights Templar.
  • How is that possible if Missingno was only around during the first generation?
    • On the other hand...

. Both Mewtwo and Missingno are from the First Gen, originated on Cinnibar Island, are ridiculously powerful, and Mewtwo's humanoid body is a little more befitting Vyce's own looks. After realizing "he" was too late to stop "his" home universe from being consumed, Mewtwo tried to be The Atoner, but lapsed back into "his" Knight Templar behaviors after being snubbed.

In order to fight against the Entity, Lord Vyce helped design many of the Pokemon games. Why do that? If he wanted to fight off the Entity, it would make sense to use the same type of creature as it. This explains why, say, you're unable to transfer anything of the earlier generation to your Ruby/Sapphire game, or why Missingno has a habit of turning into another Pokemon when transfered to another game. The prescene of Dialga, Palkia and the Almighty Arceus are also examples. And the reason for the Bad Egg? A defense mechanism to destroy anyone trying to unwittingly summon the Entity.

Blaine is already a scientist(and even in one continuity contributed to Mewtwo's existence.) Someone like Red wouldn't be able to defend themselves against The Entity/Missingno. Blaine on the other hand, who lives where the Entity dwells, would prepare for it. Furthering on this, the Link Trade capabilities and the existence of Porygon may have been part of Blaine/Vyce's plan: the Link Trade to escape into other universes and get help, and Porygon's abilties to enter cyberspace to fight against the data-based Entity.

Furthermore, this could explain how Lord Vyce is capable of existing in the Channel Awesome universe, considering he originates from a universe created from progamming data. Vyce's suit is effectively a combination of Link Trade machinery, CP Us, a hardrive and the Porygon's capability to exist on a physical plane.

EPIC FORESHADOWING! 'sides, it's been awhile since it brought down something (outside of itself).

• This would also make a lot of sense, since originally it was supposed to be wielded by the entity itself.
• Jossed. Linkara tries to, but it doesn't work.

Four days after Lord Vyce was defeated, Nella recovered from a bad case of bridge, turned evil and claimed to be possessed by a quasi-demonic inter-galactic force of evil.

The three-parters tend to have the more epic climatic moments in the story line, plus Ultimatum was a mass cross-over, so it makes sense.

• Jossed

What happened to Linksano happened to Ninja Style Dancer off screen.

• Basically Confirmed

Whatever the Entity did to them will be reversed once it is defeated.

• Or they wish they were dead. The two may have been merged into the Entity, fully conscious but without a physical body.
  • This line from its book seems to support this theory: "Those that are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head."
  • ...this, from the US-1 #2 comments, doesn't help either.

  • An anonymous comment for the latest Tandy Whiz-kids review seems to clean up as something like @&22̡̡92kidyugottaheeellpppUsSsSsSsHaHaHaHaHzahAhA . Sounds like a message from Harvey.

The planet Linkara banished Lord Vyce to bears an uncanny remeblance to the fate of the Smiling Man in Crossoverlord given its lack of technology or any sentient life. The truth is... it's the same world. Having reggresed back to his old ways The Smiling Man will use his and Vyce's combined knowledge of different aspects of the multiverse to enable them to escape. Together they embark on a campaign of galactic destruction. possibly joining forces with other interdiemensonal evil doers such as Dark Nella and Doctor Insano. Given the severity of their combined power, Ringo will have to summon both the group from Crossoverlord as well as the TGWTG crew to handle the problem. Which will be easier said than done...

• Lightbringer and the Nostalgia Critc will but heads, given the Critc's repeated jibs at Bush and Mc Cain contrasted to the 'ever so slightly' conservative overtones of the early issues. This will culminate in the Critic doing a scary slow mo of the Serpent's interrigation...
• Ant will become the Sixth Ranger Traitor. As a devoted Otaku, she'll be raging at Spoony for Squall's death, prompting Vyce to lull her to the dark side.

When the Entity finally attacks, Linkara will wind up thrashed, terrified, and near to death or insanity. He will manage at the last minute to transport himself to Vyce's barren world. Vyce finds him in a near catatonic state, and takes him back to a cave, whewre he musters up enough strength to do a review. His friends will reconvene at that cave, and discuss what to do. Vyce laments that it will be hopeless, as all his assets were shut down by Linkara, sarcastically adding that unless anyone there has something to warp hypertime itself... Linkara suddenly has an epiphany, and tells everyone his plan. They go back to earth, and Linkara partakes in TGWTG.com's third anniversary. After that, he and Spoony will have their final Warrior crossover review. At the end, the Entity is caught like a rat in a trap, and the Linkaras, Spoonys, Lizs and Vyces attack from their own respective universes until the Entity is defeated once and for all.

• My god. That would be awesome. It also would make a lot of sense. I applaud you.
• Sadly Jossed

The static is there because The Entity is hacking the show to stare at you.

• The above Troper is needlessly sadistic.
• Now I'll never sleep again.
  • Supported by this◊

There are many hints (listed above) that the entity is connected to Missingno. Gameboy #1 claims that the cartridges are windows to other worlds, and considering how things go on this show it isn't much of a stretch to imagine that it's true. The Entity has been around for many eons, but the first time we ever saw it in our world was viewing it through the original Pokemon games. It had been clawing at the Pokemon world for years, and while we didn't see it, the universe was slowly being destroyed. Red was their Champion, and managed to hold it back so that we didn't see it, but eventually the original pokemon universe fell. Nintendo, fortunately, was able to recreate the world, but by then the Gold/Silver/Crystal cartridges were nothing but husks that could only replay events before the death of the world, whereas the Ruby and Sapphire cartridges connect to the real pokemon universe, meaning they can't communicate. It also explains why Red is silent: he remembers the events of the previous universe and is traumatized that he failed, and even moreso by the knowledge that, with so much space/time mucking about going on, The Entity could easily return.

• Maybe Vyce is Red? The original Red, who fled his doomed reality. If that's the case, Vyce may have some Pokemon he and Linkara can use.

The Entity poem probably has some symbolic meaning. This troper feels that the poem in its entirety it a warning of some sort, but is not positive.

Beneath the seas, beside the flame

Off the coast where the lost beast came

To bring the world misery and shame

A piece of the world is missing.

This verse seems to directly describe the Entity. 'Beneath the seas, beside the flame' might be a reference to the sunken city of R'lyeh, from the writing of HP Lovecraft. It would certainly fit the Eldritch Abomination theme.

'The lost beast' definitely fits Eldritch Abomination.

The path you should have never crossed

The beast exacts a heavy cost

The number of the beast is lost

You will know it by its hissing

'The path you never should have crossed' could refer to Vyce's defeat, especially since Vyce claimed to only want to protect worlds from the Entity, and the next verse is 'the beast exacts a heavy cost.' After the defeat of Vyce, the Entity began to show itself. 'The number of the beast is lost.' This troper is not really sure what that could mean. However, 'you will know it by its hissing' most likely refers to the static-ey laugh the Entity has.

• The "Heavy Cost" is losing everyone around him(So far The Entity has taken Linksano, Ninja Style Dancer, and Harvey Finevoice and 90's Kid, Liz and Pollo are all next.) and the number being lost most likely refers to how many it takes away.
  • Oh! That makes sense! The 'number of the beast is lost' doesn't necessarily have to refer to the Entity itself.
  The bones from hell you cannot tame
  Devour your life and all your fame
  That is the price to play its game
  And all while you're reminiscing

This passage could actually be describing Linkara himself, especially the lines 'devour your life and all your fame' and 'all the while you're reminiscing.' Linkara has a decent amount of fame, and the reminiscing part can refer to his reviews. 'That is the price to play its game' is pretty self-explanatory.

'The bones from hell you cannot tame' is somewhat more complicated. If, indeed, the verse is describing Linkara, the line could refer to his use of magic, namely, his magic gun. Bones from hell—the girl inhabiting the magic gun was tortured to death, so death from torture. Death-bones, torture-hell. If one wants to get more detailed about that, Linkara didn't really tame his gun per se. She chose to work with him.

• A lot of lines make sense with the Missingno theory. You encounter Missingno on the shores of a volcanic island, catching it carries a heavy cost to your save file, it occasionally appears as a fossil skeleton, and it comes from a retro game.
  • It's most noticed screw up is to corrupt the Hall of Fame data, "Devour [...] all your fame"?
    • Missingno. The number of the beast is lost.

Why? Because it would be awesome, the Entity is a threat to all creation, and we get to see badass rebel fighter counterparts to the TGWTG crew. The AVGN is their leader, thanks to being able to handle defective programming(aka the terrible video games.) The Nostalgia Critic will be dead, and the Nerd will be angry at the death of his finest opponent. There will be Ho Yay between Rebel!Spoony and Linkara. Insano will be forced to have an Enemy Mine with Spoony. Other survivors will include the Cinema Snob(who will host "personal entertainment" to help restore the population), Bennet The Sage(who is capable of scaring the robots away) and Ma-Ti(who will be an example of Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome, finding some way of making Heart useful). On the robot side is Burton(who may or may not talk), a collection of all the terrible gaming consoles becoming a sentient entity(the brain is the Atari Jaguar, who has shown to be sentient), and a Black Lantern Linkara as their dragon(since this Linkara was killed off, and BL Spoony seemed fine in allying with a Robotic Psychopath bent on killing off organic life itself.)

• Right after it is revealed to be Koh, the face stealer from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Missingno. has a defense stats of 0, even Magic Gun is based on special, that's a 6, and with 33 base HP, anything can kill it. Harvey was just doing some A-Team Firing and missed every shot.

(They are the obscurer ones with base stats better than Arceus)

Linkara states here that there is a clue somewhere in the show.

• Family or friends of his were somehow involved with the Entity, possibly in connection to the people responsible for the magic gun. During the Ewoks #9 review, he exclaims 'What in Ava Gardner's forbidden past was that?!' in shock at one point. Ava Gardner actually starred in a movie called My Forbidden Past in which her character's grandmother has a shady past (the specifics are not revealed)
• The above Entity = Missingno WMGs are correct, and Harvey was making the connection where Linkara didn't (for whatever reason). He seems to play the games, as evidenced by the 'Who are you, the name rater from Pokemon?' comment in the Anita Blake review and the fact that he was playing a DS in the Barbi Twin Adventures review.

Lord Vyce claims that it's evil, so he has an excuse to conquer universes. He conquers worlds because he wants power. It attacked Linksano because he's still evil. It went after Ninja Style Dancer because he ran away from it, and both assumed the other was evil. Harvey was attacked because he started firing at it.

• Doubt it. If Vyce only cared for power, he wouldn't bother with an excuse(he's already feared by the rest of the multiverse, so he can't trick alternate worlds). As for the Entity, it's still responsible for eating away pieces of the world. Plus it's Evil Laugh. The very best we can hope for is that the thing has no clue what it's doing.

It will be like Mechakara's "He's counting down from X." and Lord Vyce's "V-Minus X."

• I think it just be the number of days remaining with nothing else because it is so evil there's nothing to say about him.
• It would probably be something like "The world disappears in X days"
  • Or "X days until his fame is gone."
• Jossed

Because he distracted Linkara when it took Ninja Style and he was the last person to see Harvey before the Entity got him. Just saying there is alot of evidence here.

• Do you mean that Linkara will basically going to fight (a) God after he's done with the Entity.
  • Thinking more along the lines of a Big Brother-esqe power, possibly a hivemind. Although, if he keep going up the Sorting Algorithm of Evil, an actual god is about all that's left, assuming that the Entity doesn't already qualify.

It seems strange that an Omnicidal Maniac of an Eldritch Abomination hasn't just killed Linkara immediately. That's because the Entity needs him alive. Remember when Mechakara said that magic items tend to respond to their owner? And that the soul of the Magic Gun is Linkara's friend? Since it's connected to it, the Entity wants to neutralise the threat/gain the power of this weapon. To do this, it must perform More than Mind Control and Mind Rape on our hero. It attacks people in terms of their importance to Linkara, and subtley manipulates his potential as The Caligula. Dr Linksano and Harvey Vinvoice have been taken-the next targets are 90s Kid, Iron Liz and Pollo. Pollo will be manipulated into becoming rouge(not humanity hating, but at the least a sadistic hatred of Linkara), reflecting the possibility that he'll turn into Mechakara. Let's face it, villanious manipulation is a standard trope on this show, and it would justify why Vyce took such extreme measures.

• Is the Power Rangers/Youngblood crossover mentioned in the Power Rangers Zeo #1 review
  • The review it was mentioned in has the commentary note it didn't happen.
• Is a parody of both Power Rangers and the Dark Age

The quote "You've seen my bones before" might refer to something that we had seen in the show before or in the background that we may have ignored.

• Maybe it's the book that Linkara found in Silent Hill Dead/Alive #5? The book has shown up in later reviews, with new messages.
• That may fit with the "Entity is Missingno" theory. Two of its forms are fossil versions of Kabutops and Aerodactyl.
• We DID see Missingno itself in The Dark Knight Strikes Again part 2, when Linkara commented on some weird pixelization in the comic: "Did somebody catch Missingno? The comic's starting to glitch out!"
  • And this appearance was directly before Vyce was first foreshadowed in Sultry Teenage Super Foxes #2. Probably just coincidence, but still...
• What if these "bones" refer to the couch? Think about it, we've seen the couch in every single episode. No matter how many episodes you've watched, you've seen that couch before. It's completely unexpected. Couches have a habit of being doombringers: Darkseid sits on couchs in Countdown, and breaks reality while sitting in a couch. Clearly, the Entity is connected to the couch.
• Has anyone seen Bear lately?
• Confirmed. We've seen the Entity, [[spoiler:during the 90s.

• Maybe not - In The Stinger from Kamandi: At Earth's End, Linkara does the "I AM A MAN!" punch, but hits something & bounces off. At the point of impact, some text flashes up (Which took this Troper several rewatches to fully read) reading "Can you see me?". It's possible that the Entity lives beyond the fourth wall & is trying to break through onto Linkara's side of the wall.
• Not credits, but the comments of US-1 #2 contain a possible continuation

It uses the world-pieces it's stolen to build a dollhouse (finding itself a home), and took Harvey, the NSD, and the Kid because it thought they'd be fun. Then, it decided that Linkara would make a better doll, and the vanished characters are playing a game with it—they win, and the Entity leaves in peace, they lose and Linkara gets taken. The Entity currently thinks said game is already won.

• And that child? It could be Linkara.
• Jossed

Think about it. Anonymous comments popping out with weird messages? He's here and worst of all, he could be any one of us. He could be in this very site. He could be you, he could be me, he could even be...........

Iron Liz will. Lewis will remain as completely obvious to it's existence as he is right now.

Hey, we haven't seen the spaceship in a while. Or Pollo and Liz.

Resetting continuity. If it is missingno, the only way to get rid of it would be to reset the game, it will take place during the twilight zone episode and will tie into the DC relaunch.

• Nah, that seems a bit too anti-climatic.
• Jossed

Since Captain America: Return of the Asthma Monster, the Entity has been talking to us. Its been leaving many cryptic comments. What do they mean? Let's see

• "I'm always watching." Pretty obvious. It means the Entity has Medium Awareness. And had watching since the mid-90s.
• "The lost beast has found a home." The Entity has firmly established itself in the Channel Awesome universe, or part of the show.
• "You've seen my bones before." Meaning we've seen a part of the Entity before. While I personally think it's the couch(which, even in episodes that Linkara did not appear, was still there), it's probably referring to the Magic Gun(it was made from the Entity). Or rather, it's fossil Pokemon forms.
  • When was it said that the magic gun was made from the Entity?
• "I've already won the game." Either the Entity has already won, or it's actively screwing around with us. Anything it says is suspect.
• "Can you see me?" Obviously referring to Linkara punching it.
• "You are blind to what lies ahead, before the end, we'll all have met. I already won and you did lose. End's like a bomb with a lit fuse. The darkness shall embrace you all. When I exist, mankind will fall." The Entity is threatening us. The first sentence would mean that we have no idea what it is planning, yet we've somehow met it before(fits with "You've seen my bones before.") The second sentence means that its doomsday plan has begun. The third is an active threat, symbolizing that it shall murder Real Life itself. The fourth means that, when the Entity becomes real enough(or at least a powerful form of Memetic Mutation), we shall die.
• "I live in the static. I live in every dream. My plot is chaotic. You can't know my scheme." We don't know what its plan is(thus "My plot is chaotic. You can't know my scheme"), and our minds are getting wrapped around in it(hence "I live in every dream"). The static refers to the glitch.
• "All the world is mine to take, as the champion's followers shiver and shake. Darkness falls and the Fourth Wall will break. As the lips of death you're kissing." The Entity is trying to kill us all, and is taunting us with the fact that its plans are about to become reality. The "Champion", of course, is Linkara, while the "followers" refer to us, his fans. "Shiver and shake" refers to the fact that we fans are all frightened and scared of it (there is a sizable portion of Nightmare Fuel dedicated to the Entity), while Linkara remains oblivious to it despite our repeated attempts to warn him about the glitches and strange comments on the videos. It's playing games with our heads. "The Fourth Wall will break" either refers to the fact that it will escape from the confines of the show and enter our reality, or that it wants to destroy the show itself.
  • Or, it's referring to Linkara's friends that it's taken- Ninja Style Dancer, Harvey Finevoice, Pollo, and Linksano. And it make you wonder what it's doing to them.

• Organized in bullets for readability. This theory also channels Grant Morrison.
• The Entity seems to want to encroach on Real Life, but for what purpose we're not sure. It could be to kill everything, but it could be for another purpose entirely.
• It takes time for the Entity to build up enough power to do certain things, like snatch people and effect the credits. Clearly, it is gathering its power to do something massive.
• The Entity has taken residence in Linkara's house, professing an interest in Linkara- affecting only his blog, his forum, noting on the TGWTG site itself. The Entity has taken several people around Linkara, but hasn't done much to Linkara himself.
• Because of the nature of AT4W, the separation between Real Life and fiction is flimsier than it would be in, say, a comic, a movie, or a book. If the Entity wants to break into Real Life, it is best to do so on AT4W.
• Why would this ever make Linkara and Lewis meet? Well, despite the frailty of the Fourth Wall in AT4W, there is a definite separation between Linkara the character and Lewis the writer. If the Entity succeeded in its (assumed) goal of collapsing the Fourth Wall, the character Linkara (possibly with baggage like his space ship and his magic gun) would intrude into the real world. As the Entity is based in Linkara's house, the first breakage in the Fourth Wall would be in Linkara's/Lewis' houses. The end result would be Linkara and Lewis meeting.
• However, this has the unforseen effect would be that Lewis could write the Entity out of existence. Despite being able to break into Real Life, the Entity still retains its fictional properties.
• This is a good idea. This leads into this trooper's theory that...

• Lewis always posts OOC on the message boards, right? And the reason he claims he hasn't seen them (while we can) is because he thinks the fans are trying to drum up hype for the story arc and doesn't want to ruin their fun. The short glitches in the videos are almost imperceptible ( or possibly only appear after he's already uploaded the video), so of course he'd shrug it off or be in denial. The only reason they appear here is because The Entity's getting stronger- because it's fed on so many beings in story, it has the power to send its messages through the Fourth Wall of fiction to us real world fans, trying to make us fearful and gain strength from the hype fans on our side of of the Fourth Wall have created, pasting it everywhere over the Internet and thus take over both realities...

• And he doesn't even realize it yet.
• how would that work exactly?
• Linkara blacks out, the Entity takes over his body, does something evil, erases Linkara's memories of it, Linkara wakes up oblivious of what's happened and the Entity waits in his subconscious until it decides to attack again.
• This troper disagrees.

The Entity is Father Up to Eleven .

It's possibly more proof that she's connected to the Entity

• or maybe Judas Liz in disguise

In the original Black Lantern/White Lantern story, there was a thing called The Entity.

• Different Entities. The Blackest Night Entity was a being of life and light. This one....isn't.

And that's why he doesn't care about what happens. He's LETTING the Entity come to him where he'll instakill it with some form of tech or magic that we haven't seen onscreen yet. He's stated that he's made constant upgrades to his arsenal and he's often working on projects. As a result, he'll simply obliterate it, restore ninja Style Dancer and Harvey (as well as anyone else that gets taken) back to life.

Or instead of killing it, he'll make it his pet or something. I mean, he took Vyce's ship as his own.

• Jossed

Subtley, though. The reason why Linkara doesn't notice the Entity is because it's possessing him. Not directly, mind you, but possessing his subconscious. It's power affects not just the Linkara we know and love, but every single Linkara in the multiverse. This includes his Real Life version, which is why it's threatening us.

• Jossed, he was possessing 90s kid

Mechakara has been the only villain not to be touched after Vyce. And with Pollo being taken by the Entity, it would make sense for it to use Mechakara as its body. Also Mechakara is one of the more eviler characters.

May just be me but when Pollo is taken we see 2 green ranger helmets instead of 1

His allies are disappearing one by one, and Vyce is the only person in this universe who's had any experience fighting it in the past.

Twilight Zone #9 - "(translated from the Codex of the Brotherhood of χάος ) Genesis: It is said when an infant is born it is driven solely by a force called the Id. The universe is no different, for when it was born in the firey womb of the dawn of time there was a force of pure consumption and destruction. A creature that exists in a form our pathetic 3 dimensional minds cannot ever hope to comprehend, a force called χάος." χάος means chaos, disorder, or mess in Greek. I guess we have a name for the entity now, Khaos.

That's all I'm Saying 9-14-11 - "(translated from the Codex of the Brotherhood of χάος ) War: Just as in time an infant gains a Super Ego to quell it's Id, a force rose to appose χάος, Αἰθήρ. Αἰθήρ is a life form consisting of pure thought, the currents that ebb and flow throughout the entirety of the multiverse. Αἰθήρ and χάος battled, and eventually Αἰθήρ triumphed and locked away χάος from his rightful domain in a prison that spanned the entirety of the multiverse." Αἰθήρ means Aether in Greek. In simple terms Aether is pure goodness. Is the entity (Khaos) going to end up as a dark version of Linkara (Yin and Yang)?

Superman and the TRS-80 Whiz Kids: The Computers that Saved Metropolis- "(translated from the Codex of the Brotherhood of χάος ) Procreation: Though χάος was locked away it still lapped up the fear and hatred dripping through the dimensional wall, the growls reverberating from it cracking continents, and his appendages clawing at the walls of its prison. Over time some of the locks weaken, letting out the tiniest slivers of itself. These slivers spawned horrendous creatures of tendrils and gaping maws that exist on the verge of our nightmares. Beings with power comparable to gods. The fear and worship they evoke feeds χάος from beyond the veil." I think we're dealing with an extension here.

Silent Hill: Paint It Black- (translated from the Codex of the Brotherhood of χάος ) The Green Knight: As χάος and it's spawn slowly spread their influence they eventually attacked the home of a powerful being known as Vyce. Vyce survived and swore to destroy that which destroyed his home to protect other worlds from suffering the same fate. The green knight tried to warn many worlds but was ignored at every turn. Eventually Vyce decided that he could protect the multiverse better as a king than a knight.

• Now, maybe I'm just reading into this too much but... rewatching the Gameboy review, note how Linkara jokingly points out a flaw in the story and theorizes about wether Mario goes through the same events over, and over, and over. I find it hard to believe the Gameboy review does not hold a clue of some significance, given that the Entity makes repeated reference to games ('you've already lost' etc...) Now, Linkara has expressed a feeling of 'familiarity', like he's studied for a test but as he's taking it his minds gone blank. That is called Deja Vu. Given that we already know the Entity is keeping Linkara from seeing its messages, how do we know that he's keeping Linkara from remembering?
  You are blind to what lies ahead,
  before the end, we'll all have met.

  I already won and you did lose.
  End's like a bomb with a lit fuse.

  The darkness shall embrace you all,
  while I'll exist, mankind will fall.

Maybe Linkara has already played the Entity's game, and already lost it. The above pieces of the poem could reference the future it is intentionally blinding us to, where a piece of the world went missing; and it was mankind. And so Linkara managed to find a way to reverse the clock and replay the game. However, he's forgotten all about it and The Entity has been growing strong enough to influence people's minds and sense that he's already won. If he has to actually 'win' some sort of game with Linkara in order to destroy us, then he knows he's already won, and instead of playing all he has to do is wait for people to remember losing and then he can claim them as his prize.

Of course, the above is just conjecture, the main theory is that Linkara has already faced The entity, perhaps multiple times, and cannot remember it. Everything points to it; the fact that future Linkara (who was supposed to have been erased from continuity by present Linkara moving house) did the 'previously on' segment before the arc began. Harvey Finevoice knowing (or remembering) something about the Entity before it took him.

'You have seen my bones before'. Maybe we have seen his bones before and just haven't

• Or someone (Oh Hai there Entity) re edited the text after he finished. *shrug*

• Jossed

• The guy who posted above? He didn't finish his sentence. Either Linkara is posting hints among us tropers, or else other people besides Linkara are going to be doing the Entity thing now, and it'll become the next Candlejack or Slender
• Jossed
• Not entirely jossed. The Entity certainly hasn't become a fully fledged meme like Candle Jack yet, but he has been popping up more and more frequently on the internet.
• Well, it depends on your point of view, but it already is.

Let's face it, the thing's dangerous enough to do this. And after taking away a billion people, I think the other reviewers are going to notice something else. I expect something like it's creepy laugh or glitches to appear randomly with the other reviewers...

• And the first reviewer to be affected will most likely be Spoony, since he and Linkara often share storylines.
• Spoony has been taken as of Silent Hill: Paint It Black.
• MarzGurl too as of Silent Hill: Among the Damned.
• Benzai and Sadpanda have been taken as of Silent Hill: Paint It Black.
• Has taken everyone, everywhere, in the world.

Self Explanatory really. I think all of them would rather NOT have the universe dissolved from under there asses. So they would join together and fight it off. Then get back to being villians once it's over.

• Jossed

The poems especially. The three stanzas of the poem spoken in Linkara's October trailer are the only ones that were shown in his videos. These poems don't strike me as well-written at all and the lack of Linkara giving official mention of them in his latest video raises further suspicion (heck, that voice only reciting the three official verses could be a way of Linkara debunking these poorly-written fakes). Plus, these new poems are said as if from the Entity's perspective, something the "official" poems never do.

Then there's this.

"Li Nk Ar A... LEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN-KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH Your clown is gone. 90s Kid is gone. Harvey Finevoice is gone. The ninja is gone. None of your friends are safe. I will get them all. They will all suffer by my hands. You cannot save them. You cannot save this world. I will feast on your souls. I will warp your minds with horrors undreamed of. I am older than time. I stood by as your universe was created. And I will feed on your fear. The dream will become a nightmare. The hero will be broken. And this time, the little girl won't save you. This time, I am not controlled by anyone. The rules have changed. I am all around you. See you soon..."

Does that first line not look silly to you? Plus, 90s Kid is still around despite what this poem suggests (Yes, I saw the speculation about whether it's really 90s Kid. I honestly think the poster just made a mistake and gave himself away).

Lewis has never posted anything plot related outside of his videos, and these poems and messages with their mistakes and general poor writing just reek of the fandom screwing with people.

Lewis is probably not debunking these comments because he is keeping in character about being unaware to the Entity's fourth-wall breaking in the videos; if he responded to them he'd basically be saying he knows the Entity is breaking the fourth wall and has been lying (and that's been part of Lewis' schtick for these videos lately).

• what about the mp3?

• I suspect that's a fake too. Simply a matter of copying audio. Creepy enough admittedly, but I doubt it's official.
  • Just one problem: ALL of the posts on Linkara's blog and by extension the videos MUST be approved by Lewis himself. That means he reads every single comment, and he's stated sevral times that he reads EVERY SINGLE comment. (To add to his awesomeness factor with the fans, he even occasionally checks out this very wiki.) That's why we haven't seen many replies to those posts other then here. He's denying them from being posted.

Plus, with all they hype this place is generating as well as the videos themselves, do you think he would risk potentially sabotaging his story arc when it's so close to the end? He knows people. This is all genuine.

Or some of them are real, some of them aren't, and he's letting the fake ones through to add to the effect and make us all more paranoid. Hell, the Entity itself could be posting incorrect things to confuse us.

Confirmed by Word Of God

the brotherhood says chaos creates creatures to feast off of. what if the entity is just one of them? He'll spend his episodes trying to destroy the othertendrils of the entity

Think about it for a moment: he was originally used as a one shot character before getting erased. But since he had the power of Reb Brown and other 80s action heroes in him, 80's Dan fought his way out.

It took everyone else. Pollo calling for help is just the Entity messing with us.

• Jossed

There has to be at least one western comic, official or otherwise, bad enough to warrant a review.

• Confirmed by the latest title card.

The Entity is trying to make itself real, so it's using the power of Memetic Mutation to do so. After all, half of the Nightmare Fuel entry and much of this very page is focusing on the Entity. That's what it wants. Through becoming a meme, it will spread across the internet. Slowly but surely manipulating the fandom, causing them to become more obsessive and paranoid about it. This will cause a chain reaction, until issues in Real Life will be affected. Starting off small and minor, then becoming major. Eventually it'll lead to war, then devestation and then the apocalypse. It can't be stopped, we're already obsessing over it.

• One excerpt of the Codex of the Brotherhood did state that it's feeding off the fear and awe caused by its various offshoots, and this isn't much of a stretch beyond that...
• Jossed
  • But we may be helping another version of it.

Which means we're now observing a different reality to ours as we are obviously not Entitized*

(It said things are beautiful where the people have been taken. One look at my bedroom...)

but reality hole punching is kind of AT4W's thing. I don't know about you, but I'm foreseeing the Entity consuming the universe save for Linkara, his couch, the wall behind it, some comics that suck, and the purdy hat.

• That does explain that part of the poem "Devour your life and all your fame" We the viewers and the fans are Linkara's fame, so it took us away from him.

• Jossed: All the other reviews in the CA-verse are fine. Which wouldn't be the case if this was true, since the fourth wall will not stop the Entity. I think the inverse has happened: the Entity has swallowed up Linkara's room.
  • Jossed: Though there have been many guest stars and references to the continuity of the CA verse (most common examples would be Silent Hill Dead Alive mentioning Kickassia and NB Comics mentioning Suburban Knights.) AT4W has its own continuity, and unless that continuity says otherwise, it won't effect anything outside AT4W-verse. Otherwise the entity would have taken NC or Angry Joe, or any of the other Channel Awesome Guests that have appeared on the show.
    • Maybe it did, and it's taking a while to properly affect the rest of the universe
    • Confirmed: The Entity has taken Spoony.
    • Partial Jossed: True Spoony is a member of Channel awesome....However both him and his characters are on the Recurring list for AT4W as both frequent appearances as himself and recurring appearances as Doctor Insano, Linkara's nemesis. Even if he wasn't a memeber of channel awesome, he would have been taken anyway due to his status as recurring. I am only claiming partial jossed, because many of the other channel awesome shows and sites are still intact.
  • Only one way to find out, watch the halloween special.
  • Or watch the second Silent Hill comic review- MarzGurl got captured too now. Think the Entity will go three for three?
    • Partial Jossed: Much like Spoony, Marzgurl has been on the show numerous times. Here is a list of CA characters that have been recurring in the AT4W universe:
    • Spoony/Dr insano, Relationship: Best friend/First Arch Enemy
    • MarzGurl, Relationship: Friend, possible former love interest.
    • Angry Joe, Relationship: friend and ally in the Arsenal of freedom.

Those people outside of AT4W had key points in the series. Joe for example lead his army of Joes onto Vyce's ship inorder to render him powerless. Characters such as Nostalgia Critic, though had minor roles and joint reviews haven't made much of an impact on the show. Nostalgia Critic played a silent hill version of himself as well as Dougsano and Lori Prince during the ending to Godyssey 1. Aside from that most of his appearances have been on his own show with Linkara and Spoony, doing joint reviews such as Superman IV and Alone in the Dark. Unless he or Nchick or Snob or Paw etc have been taken be it on their own show or AT4W appearence. CA universe is safe from the Entity. If not, then that long speech would end up like the plot of a 1950s horror movie and odds are for not believing it would happen the entity would take me as well.

• Though if the entity did take Critic it would be funny to see him scream like a wimp.

Spoony was about to post the review of warrior, right. Maybe the entity thought Spoony was going to mess up hyper time, so he took him away before he could upload it.

• doesn't explain how just uploading it would mess up hypertime. Since warrior 4 already happened in-universe, why would uploading it make a difference?
  • I (Pink Puppy) have another theory on why: just saw Spoony's Phantasmagoria Let's Play, and at the end where something is trying to get him to review Final Fantasy VIII. Now, it causes static on his computer, has an evil laugh, and attempts/succeeds in warping reality. There's also the myterious text (part of the game but...) Spoony unknowingly has already encountered the Entity and fear of him recognizing it or something and therefore the Entity has captured him. Maybe MarzGurl has as well (she's expressed an interest in FF VIII).
    • Also, Burton was/is possibly being controlled by the Entity due to the claim of 'The Burton Experiment' in an effort to break Spoony.
    • Wait....Burton disappeared at the end of one of Spoony's recent reviews....the Entity took Burton, which mean th-
    • The Entity might either or also be trying to break Linkara even before facing him by taking away those he's closest to. Iron Liz and Pollo might want to watch out if I'm right...
    • Yep.
  • Okay, Pink Puppy is back. Spoony is holding up Warrior #4 when he's captured. Yesterday he posted his and Linkara's review of it. DOES NOT COMPUTE. The vlogs I'll let slide but this? Plus MarzGurl has reviewed Rock-a-Doodle now. It looks like they fought their way out or were rescued off-screen.
    • Also... I'm starting to worry there's a connection between the Warrior reviews and the Entity. Just a gut feeling, really, besides the whole wanting to conquer everything vibe both scenarios have.
    • And maybe he if could have seen the Entity Spoony would have recognized it. However, Spoony has a tendancy to yell out his foes' names upon first seeing them (Squall! Insano! Tidus!), thus why the Entity didn't show itself to him. MarzGurl is a bit more dramatic, so the Entity felt sure that he could capture her before she could say his name- and the Entity was right.
    • MarzGurl has made appearances in the Warrior reviews... hm.
• Linkara said that his plots are self contained, meaning they will still be uploading content.

When Vyce first encountered the Entity, is was corporeal being, humanlike yet extraoradinarily powerful, like Vyce was. The two fought and Vyce destroyed its body, crafting the skeleton (or shell? who knows, with these extradimensional beings) into his armor. Of course, as we've seen, the Entity isn't limited to a mere physical form... Because we aaaaaaaaall know he cant keep an internet show without them. So may as well just use that book to teleport to the insides of the Entity that looks suspiciously like a greenscreen effect of a wall with meat moss ala Silent Hill

• Confirmed

Considering what the reviews for the last 3 issues caused, it makes sense that the last one could be crucial in beating the Entity.

• Jossed

• At the end of Silent Hill: Among the Damned, The Entity took Marzgurl. The last thing Marzgurl said was "That just not possible! There's no way you can be m—" this Troper suggests that she was going to say 'me' before she was cut off. Alternately;
  • Of all people, Marzgurl is the only other reviewer to appear after being eaten by the Entity. That means that either Real Life Marzgurl is reviewing, Marzgurl is the Entity or the Entity is disguised as Marzgurl.
• No, the reason for that is Lewis isn't going to have them stop uploading for his story lines, so they will continue to upload, but in AT4W continuity, they're still missing
• Jossed

• See the quote above. It would also explain why some of the victims were so shocked to see it.
  • So the Entity is The Thing ?
• Jossed

Mati, from Captain Planet.

• Jossed

Judging by the takings of Spoony and more recently [spoiler]marzgirl[/spoiler] The entity took them because they were either looking at a comic review (commentary in one case) or about to review a comic (warrior 4). Comics seem to have something to do with this.

• That was a commentary for a tv pilot, not a comic book.
  • Still counts because it's comic related.

Jossed. It took Benzai and Sad Panda without them being near a comic book. Think about it: it's hinted that the Entity is getting more powerful the more people obsess about it. The Warrior Comics have been revealed to devestate reality the more people care about them and try to understand them. My thoughts on the matter? The two are related. This would mean that

• The Ultimate Warrior is simply a mouthpiece for the Terrain of Testament.
• The Ultimate Warrior is so insane he created the Terrain of Testament, and the Entity was also born by thought.
• Jossed

The Entity is the god the sect worshped. The little girl's spirit in the gun was sacrificed in order to make the weapon. Since she pretty much killed every member including her parents. So what better way of revenge than viciously making their god suffer before killing it.

• Jossed.

On some level, it's just a lonely pokemon, wanting a trainer. But it's extreme power made it unbeatable, the only person ever getting close being Lord Vyce. And missigno can't just give itself over, it has to be beaten and humbled by a superior force, like any other pokemon. It's not exactly evil, but after years of being alone with god-like powers, it's gone insane.

• Jossed

• It took Linksano because he was a scientist on Vyces ship and probably had some knowledge on the entity.
• It took Finevoice, because he recognized it in 90s Kid Form
• It took Pollo because he knew the energy trace and would have helped pinpoint The Entity's whether it was disguised or not.
• It captured Ninja Style Dancer because he had a clue to the identity of it. It's Voice is not its own meaning it had impersonated someone.
• It took MarzGurl, because as an anime reviewer she recognized it as Missingno
• It took Spoony because as a video game reviewer he would help Linkara figure it out faster for the same reason as MarzGurl. Not to mention in effect took Insano too whom could have helped Linkara battle it.
• It took, Liz as well as the ones mentioned by Linkara through communicator because they would have helped him fight Missingo in the end.

• It's already taken everyone from Earth, including the Critic. It wants revenge on him for giving a bad review of the pokemon movie. Maybe it'll force him to review the Yu-Gi-Oh movie or say something good about pokemon? If not, I call They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot.
• Extremely unlikely. Linkara's storylines are self-contained. Outside the TGWTG anniversary mass-crossovers, his plotlines don't affect the other reviewers.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot.
• Jossed

• Jossed.

I don't believe Linkara would create a character, just to kill him off.

• Confirmed, he's a new character.

It would fit, since Pokemon was originally on the gameboy.

• Jossed by the latest title card.

The entity was originally from the Pokemon game, just like here. However, someone brought it out into Vyce's dimension, possibly a member of the cult, in a similar manner to what happened in the game boy comic.

• Turning it into Victini. After all, Victini is number 000 just like The Entity...
• Punching the universe again. It's a glitch in reality, so Linkara will essentially try to "reboot" it. Also basically the only way to get Missingno off of your game. As a side affect, Donna Troy will get yet another origin story.
  • Or even further, he will punch the entity hard enough that it becomes part of Donna Troy's backstory.
• He'll team up with Lord Vyce
  • Going to go with this, combining it with a previous mass guess that Lord Vyce is actually Red from Pokemon. What does this mean? : I'm guessing we'll get some more... heartfelt backstory for Vyce, (come on, a once famous trainer looses all his beloved pokemon, his voice, his fame, eventually-his entire world, and still has the strength to carry on as a total badass knight templar, trying to protect worlds? That would UTTERLY redeem the guy, even in my eyes. Give him that Pyramid Head, Linkara... Which would be fskin' awesome.
• Letting it devour him, then shooting from the inside. Presumably with the help of the rest of the world's population.
• Causing it to self-destruct. Afterall, he said that tricking a cosmic threat into destroying itself was a clever way to resolve a plot, but poorly executed in Planet of the Symbiotes.
  • Confirmed.

Linkara said that Missingno. had many names, the other more dangerous pokemon glitches are actually Missingno.'s evolved forms and "the entity" is it's final evolution

• Or they were just different forms, like the alternate forms other legendaries take.

It will take place in the original games, possibly even showing bits of Lord Vyce's backstory. The known effects of Missingno and the other glitch pokemon will be prominent. The ending will be much like Lost Silver, with an 8-bit remake of the review room, Linkara's sprite nowhere to be found, and the text box saying "There was a comic reviewer here. He's gone now."

• Jossed

More specifically, during the ending. He was playing the game as the credits rolled, possibly for hours. Maybe the entity took him while playing, and then used his image to created the 90s kid we've been seeing.

• Jossed. He was organizing his Bloodgun comics when he was taken.

Lewis has stated hat all of his arcs and villains end up relating to various nerdy thigs he enjoys. Mechakara was power rangers, Lord Vyce was Dr. Who, And the entity is pokemon. Now remember what comics ended these arcs? The mechakara arc ended with a power rangers comic. The Lord Vyce arc ended with a dr. who comic The entity arc will end with a pokemon or a gameboy comic.

• It was mentioned there was more than one Gameboy comic coming eventually at the end of the first.
• Confirmed by the latest title card.

A quick Google says there was one made, but never printed. The website is old, so it could have been leaked eventually.

90's Kid was held the longest and might go through some sort of angst phase that involves wearing black and impractical spikes.

Namely, the barren universe Linkara trapped Lord Vyce in.

Unfortunately, Linkara's universe has been too consumed by the Entity to restore it properly without resetting the whole thing. Linkara will end up resetting the world to a time before the Entity arrived, and will briefly forget everything that happened. Linkara remembering the Entity (including the Vyce and Linkara Lost arcs, as they include the Entity) will be the plot for the next arc.

• The obvious connection to the DC New 52 makes this a popular theory. However, given that Lewis clearly planned this storyline way before the New 52 was announced (The first clues appeared as far back as the Dead/Alive review), this isn't likely.

• Jossed

Feeding it a rare candy, turning it into Kangaskhan.

• Jossed. He has it kill itself

It just left to go find another Outer God (or possibly an Intergalactic Quasi-Demonic Force of Evil) to kill, and then see what happens. Just something that struck me about the following conversation:

Entity: My cry went out across the multiverse and brought forth converts to my cause, but also an obstacle.

Linkara: Lord Vyce. He'd been trying to destroy you.

Entity: *hysterical laughter* He was a nuisance, not a threat. He could never hope to destroy my magnificence.

Perhaps it's reading too much into something, but the way the Entity burst into laughter when Linkara named Vyce as the obstacle and immediately mocked Vyce's attempts to kill it sounded like the Entity didn't think much of Vyce as an enemy. It did admit that Vyce could diminish it to a degree though, and sought a way to get rid of him without allowing Vyce to diminish it any more. Maybe the Entity really did fear him...or maybe there was another force battling the Entity for control of reality, an obstacle that would overpower the Entity if it was at anything less than full strength?

• I don't know, nuisances can be obstacles. At the very least, Vyce prevented the Entity from grabbing several universes. Maybe Vyce found a way to stop the Entity, but not to destroy it. It's also possible the Entity was overestimating its own abilities. Not likely, but possible.

Which glitch, you may ask? Why, the Bad Egg of course! Traditionally, the Bad Egg is designed to deal with cheaters. If we're going by the fact that the Entity is Missingno, the Bad Egg was created to counteract the effects. It targets and attacks anything in reality that shouldn't be there.

It acted as it did, and is still possessing 90s kid.

• Then it was very nice of the Entity to give back everything it ate.
  • Probably because the Entity didn't know what to do, so it decided to start a new life for itself.
  • Worse yet, he knows the concept of making living beings suffer for his amusement so this is likely a way to prolong its existence by restarting from zero and see how could he absorb all reality again in the most fun way possible over and over for all eternity until someone actually figures a way to kill it permanently so it isnt much as being nice but giving the sheep the illusion of freedom or because he is a video game character then he is most likely reseting the game to play again as a self imposed challenge that involves lots of fun for him.
  • So the Entity is a video game player? Well that certainly puts a new spin on things...and it kind of removes the scary if the Entity just keeps on resetting everything when it feels like it.

• If Earth was restored after being 'eaten' by the Entity, maybe the other worlds were restored as well and will be explored in later episodes.

• Linkara's descent to evil. I may be looking into something that has no real meaning, but given how he was shown to still have his pride as a flaw after defeating Vyce (as evident by his "I HAVE A SPACESHIP" reliance) and the Entity, it seems as though it's being used for something else. It would also explain the alternate universe episode, foreshadowing the next arc.
  • Seconded. It's been seriously hinted at over the past year.
• Pollo gaining his new body.
• Linkara's secret origins.(I.E. where he gets all his weapons.)
• The after-effects of the Entity. Researching the following:
  • Who is Lord Vyce? What kind of Pokemon universe was his?
  • The cult, and what led them to worshipping the Entity.
• Lord Vyce will be driven to near insanity by the solitude of his planet, and return for revenge. Perhaps by also leaving Linkara marooned for all eternity.

The Entity COULD be defeated because its a video game glitch and didn't have any purpose to begin with so pointing out its lack of real motivation or meaning actually works here. But as soon The Entity began saying that he was a Outer God struck me that Lewis was actually referring to the Outer Gods from Lovecraft instead of being just ramblings of delusional divinity in part from The Entity. You see, The Outer Gods (unlike the rest of the horrors mentioned in other works of Lovecraft) actually have a purpose in the universe they exist because are related to natural forces and constants like Radiation, Time and Space, Childbearing. So their existences actually makes the universe work as it is and trying to question it is like complaining about why the speed of light is always the same or why it looks like the Universe seems to be ‘fine-tuned’ to make life possible because the fundamental constants appear to have exactly the right values. If they were slightly smaller or bigger, atoms, stars, planets and people simply wouldn’t exist! Of course, you could try to question it but if those concepts are actually sentient beings then reminding them why are they actually doing the job of maintaining the universe may not be a good idea. However they are either: 1)too alien to question their existence 2)they may actually know what is going on behind the walls of reality 3)they know about the absurdity of their existence but they keep doing it because someone has to or reality will fall apart taking everyone if they do otherwise, its like the job of taking the trash every day or cleaning septic sewers, its not pretty but someone has to do it.

• Ironically, this accusation of failure also does not work: The type of being Missingno. was wasn't actually a Lovecraftian beast, but what people think a Lovecraftian beast is: An "unclean violation of natural law". Well, Missingno. was one. It was also rather pathetic, beyond it's power. A deconstruction of the Elder Gods, rather than an Outer one. Hastur, not Yog-Sototh.
  • That was the point, Missingno isnt what you could think as a godlike creature but people and even Linkara make nonstop references like it is and specially towards the Outer Gods and i cant of other reason other than he messed up or really believes that "this is what happens if the world is really meaningless as Lovecraft puts it, not even the Outer Gods could survive this universe this hostile"

We don't know how long The Entity was in Linkara's universe. Sure we heard it lots of times but that doesn't mean that it hadn't been here WAY before that. Simply put, 90s Kid was ALWAYS The Entity ever since his first apperence. Some minor support to this evidence: even in the first appearance, 90s Kid was wearing sunglasses. Possibly to cover the glitch eyes.

• Jossed. The real 90's Kid appears at the end of the Electric Tale of Pikachu review, unaware of what had happened to him.

Why? Because Linkara said it himself, he wasn't around to point out that he went against his top 15 comics he wouldn't review by reviewing a manga.

• Jossed.

"I shall leave you as you left me; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...!"

With the Entity destroyed he has no reason to continue his plans of conquest. Since it was destroyed with just a question, it will render all of Vyce's conquests futile, bringing all the guilt of the atrocities he's commited crashing down on him. Seeking to atone for his past sins, Vyce will renoune his title and swear to protect the inhabitants of the Multiverse from other possible threats. Naturally Linkara will be reluctant to trust him at first, though if Vyce proves himself he may loosen up or even let him join the regulars.

• Perhaps......but this theory will hold if the Entity is really dead and didnt hit the reset bottom on purpose to start from zero and conquer the world again in a more entertaining way for his amusement. Vyce who has been around hunting it for too long will just look with disbelief to Linkara when he announces that The Entity is gone, and Vyce in a moment of Properly Paranoid will just REFUSE to listen to him and Linkara will believe that Vyce actually is a power monger dictator and now there is no excuse for looking for The Entity. Of course my theory only holds too if The Entity didnt eat Vyce before the reset bottom to make sure he doesnt come back in the new world, he was after all the one with more knowledge about The Entity and possibly knows how to kill it for real, and for that reason The Entity should have killed Vyce
  • The above is right. Lord Vyce doesn't believe that Linkara killed the Entity, and is ready to search for it.

In The Angry Video Game Nerd's Glitch video he talks about 'Me Glitches,' implying that all glitches are his work, which would logically include something from the Pokemon games such as the Entity. Of course, this raises the question of why he would go to all the trouble of creating it when he's virtually all powerful already? Well, thanks to the Nerd the Channel Awesome crew and much of our world already know the Gremlin's weakness to Q Tips, so if acted directly then it would be easy for Linkara to exploit this. So he created an intelligent servant, of equal power but also totally subservient to him to act on his behalf. Of course, with the Entity gone the Gremlin's plans have been frustrated, but he will try again. And when he does there will be only one man Linkara can turn to help for... The Fuckin' Nerd!

• Unfortunately for the Game Glitch Gremlin, the Entity rebelled...

He will tell him that he beat the Entity. Vyce will either believe him and be allowed to leave, or he will doubt Linkara's claim and try to kill him.

It just got bored, as he said, after becoming existence itself and not having anything left to do, nothing left to conquer. So it thought back to him and decided to re-create and role play from that point, as if it had decided to kill itself. It's still everything, but aspects of it are acting like air, people, laws of nature, bad comics... That's why the updated version of that video has it speaking with his voice, briefly, as it tried it out, and that's why there are weird inconsistencies that people who'd just 'returned' pointed out.

• Alternatively, it decided to absorb everything, but keep them unalterated. Right now, it's a Genius Loci covering all of creation.

It went to kill other outer gods.

Linkara's very words were "What happens to an outer god when it dies?" To which it replied "I will find out."

The evidence to support it: When he was asked the question he was more than eager to do it judging by his smile. That wasn't a suicide smile, it was a Slasher Smile.

• Jossed by Word Of God. In the commentary for the episode (as can be viewed here), Linkara confirms that The Entity is indeed dead. And even if the Entity didn't kill itself but instead tried to kill other outer gods, it would find out that they too had killed themselves, after realizing the pointlessness of their existences, ala Who Wants to Live Forever?.

The video distortion says it all. And no, this isn't just a random for fun theory. Considering the fact that Linkara is a Power Ranger registered with Star Fleet posessing three Sonics and the fact that Linkara is constantly on the internet, this is possible.

• And the Ninja Style Dancer will be his Masky. He will be a mysterious creature that shifts around the shadows to physically assist in ruining Linkara's life, as The Slentity will be unable to do so.
• This theory is starting to show weight. Linkara is paranoid, thinking that someone is always watching him. Plus a book he found has similar insane writing to Just Another Fool and Marble Hornets
  • The above theory is becoming disturbingly possible. The Entity is a "lost beast" that travels through dimensions, causes insanity and cannot be stopped. Lord Vyce, much like Alex, is fighting a war of Blue and Orange Morality. People are disappearing into mist, losing their free will, hearing voices. I really hope Lewis isn't taking this direction, though.
• The last few episodes have had glitches with subliminal messages, Linkara claims he's unable to see them and has no idea what people are talking about. Similar to how the boys from Everyman HYBRID can't see disturbing clips in their videos.
• This might have gained some weight recently - Lewis has mentioned Slender Man in his and Liz's V-Log about Apollo Eighteen, indicating he knows about the mythos.
• Possibly Jossed. The Entity's latest message said "I'm not that thin". Could just be a red herring though.

• Jossed

• A Chaos God, or a C'tan. Vyce's logic of "conquer everything to prevent it from being destroyed" sounds an awful lot like Imperium of Man logic. Besides, he looks kind of like a Candian Stormtrooper.
• The same God that magic gun girl's parents sacrificed her to. Think about it. Linkara mentioned Lovecraft several times in the Silent Hill Dead Alive reviews. Foreshadowing maybe? And it would be good Arc Welding.
  • That part's actually confirmed-he tweeted that the journal in the Dead/Alive review describes it.
• Missingno. Vyce called what he was hunting a "glitch" in the universe; Missingno. is one of the more famous glitches out there; maybe this just makes sense to me, but it sorta fits.
  • Or it's going to be the deja vu cat.
  • It's 'M, who's far more dangerous than Missingno.
  • I'm gonna add some more support for this one after his Gameboy #1 review. First off, he mentions how he only played pokemon on his Gameboy, but they'll get back to it later. Then when reading the book, he says that the entity seems familiar, like something he had studied but forgot. He's a pokemon fan, but can't put together the facts that The Entity is related to Pokemon. And in the book itself: IAMTHENEVERSHOULD and EVERYONE IS GONE. Glitch pokemon were never supposed to exist, and keeping certain ones around can completeley screw up your game, which means you'd lose your pokemon.
    • At the end of the Barbi Twin Adventures review Harvey was playing with an Nintendo DS (the latest handheld Pokemon is playable for) with a shot of Pokeballs in the background. Seems like Foreshadowing to me.
    • It's meant to be a scanning thingy going by dialog, though Finevoice's namerater comment says he is familiar with the franchise, and he does recognize the entity when it attacks him....
    • Confirmed.
• The Entity. Or The Entity. Or maybe even The Entity.
  • Hell, it might even be The Entity.
  • Or, given the fact that, obviously, since Linkara reviews comic books, the Entity may actually be the Entity.
• Iron Liz, or at least possessing her. She appeared not long after Lord Vyce showed up, with The entity subliminally telling her to board with Linkara because it knew he would protect her. Also notice how she was conveniently out of town when it happened...
  • She was actually en route to MAGFest when that video was filmed, according to Liz herself.
• Dr. Linksano. He was trying to take over the dimension before Vyce showed up, and had a bit of a panic attack when he showed up. He also mentioned that he was fleeing the last dimension he was in. Obviously he's just been Obfuscating Stupidity the whole time.
• Bennet the Sage. He is the Devil.
• BEAAAAAAARRRRR!!!
  • It's obviously Bear. The Entity is supposedly already in his universe. It's been lampshaded a lot. Most importantly, the bears are everywhere man.
• Ask That Guy. In a alternate universe Ask That Guy dethroned The Devil and became the new ruler of hell. Like Critic from Kickassia he became crazy with power but in a even more nightmarish way than Critic was.
• Son of Insano. Depending on which direction they take it, it could be hilarious or surprisingly tragic considering that Insano seems to genuinely love the little pink ball.
• The Nothing.
• One More Day. You know it's true.
  • Or possibly, by extension, Joe Quesada.
• 90's Kid.
• Beppo, the Invisible Monkey
• The Care Bears. They're watching you.
• The Guardian that The Ultimate Warrior was taking orders from in The Spoony Experiment. It's entirely possible that he's gathering evil ringbearers to fight Lord Vyce with.
• That Dude In The Suede. That is, if he's not revealed to be Lord Vyce.
• Related to the Ultimate Warrior. Think about it. Not only is the Ultimate Warrior utterly mad, but a comic written by him was enough to cause dimensions to intersect and break reality. It's likely if the Ultimate Warrior isn't the entity, then he would be a worshipper.
• Dark Nella as she is a quasi-demonic intergalactic force of Evil.
• The green futon! It’s been there all along, watching… waiting…
• BEN. You can't tell me that creepy laughing didn't sound like Skull Kid.
• Crazy Steve
• Christian Weston Chandler. He's Obfuscating Stupidity to screw around with us. The only way to pacify it is if Linkara reviews Sonichu!
• The Beast Below it is described as "lost beast". And Linkara having the feeling is watching him from behind his back? It's a time beetle! Well he did mention a beetle on his show.
• Chaos. Linkara is a Sailor Moon fan.
• The Continuity Alarm. He has to cleanse all the contiuity errors from Linkara's reviews.
• It's missingno

Remember Vyce's word the Entity is considered to be a glitch. It is possible that the Entity was originally a computer program designed for a purpose(something more on the line of a virtual world program) but for some reason, the program itself was glitched. The program's creator(Vyce) tried to fix it only for the program to create a physical form and escaped from Vyce's home universe and proceeded to digitizing/devouring other universes to complete it's programming. A part of the world is missing is actually Vyce's problem in the creation virtual/digital world, a part of the programming code is missing and every attempt to fix it failed. Vyce hunted down the program in an attempt to destroy it but the program, learning that its creator try to destroy it, went into hiding and possibly tricked the inhabitants of the multiverse into believing that Vyce is evil while the program waited for a perfect opportunity to consume the entire multiverse to complete its program.

• I don't know if it makes sense but this is the best my imagination can think of besides the obvious Cosmic Horror story.

• Doug knew this and banned Aussie before he could influence the other critics to join him. Suede knew this and left to throw Aussie off that would explain how he knew about Linkara.
• Jossed

"Its voice is not its own"? Hoo boy...

• Oh sweet AZATHOTH.
• Jossed

It's described as a glitch and a beast. Why? Perhaps it is just that. The people in Vyce's universe essentially were playing God, trying to create life out of nothing. The result was an Eldritch Abomination with the mind of an animal, who "glitched" reality due to defying the very laws of physics(namely, the conservation of mass.) This may be why no-one listened to Vyce-because his universe was responsible for the thing.

Seriously, read the first section of the poem. "Beneath the seas, beside the flame" Referencing the Sunken City of Ry'leh "Off the coast, where the Lost Beast Came" Cthulhu is supposed to rise from the ocean, so "off the coast" "To bring the world misery and shame" sounds like Cthulhu to me. "A piece of the world is missing" No idea how this fits Cthulhu...

• Jossed

In the setup for the best/worst your mama joke ever, the Entity is Linkara's mom. It's already in his house, and if it's capable of doing what it's capable of, it has unheard-of powers. And we know Linkara himself has reality-warping powers to an extent...

The Entity is described as a glitch, has a similar glitchy effect on-screen that it did in Pokemon Red and Blue. If the Entity is Missingno, then Vyce could easily be his world's Champion; he did defeat Team Rocket, beat the Elite 4 and even capture all 150 Pokemon. Both of them are from the original Red and Green games. In Vyce's universe, beings like the Entity would be considered incomprehensible gods of insanity. And yes, I'm aware that Red is a Heroic Mime. Vyce may have gained an artifical voice, and the Entity stole his original one. This is why no-one wanted his help-they thought he would bring glitches to their own reality. And when your Red and Green games fail due to glitches, it's their universe slowly being eaten away.

• Partially-Confirmed, the entity is Missingno.

Or atleast, the human form of the Entity. She made her first appearance at the start of the Lord Vyce arc, and the Entity's voice sounds a little like Liz putting on a creepy voice which is then digitized.

• Jossed.

• Linkara jokes about Hostess products really having power over people during his Comic Book Advertisements video, only to develop an uncontrollable urge for Little Debbie's brand snacks. Since we've already seen that prepackaged desserts have some power in this universe (even if it was for a one-off joke), who's to say Linkara's right about Hostess snacks not having control over people? Perhaps there's a very good reason why they're shown as all-powerful in those old ads. (Besides, you know, the obvious)
  • Also, the poll on his blog about the video contained the option 'Only focus on the Hostess ads', the only other options being Yes and No. The Entity subtlely influencing him, perhaps?
• Jossed

While stated a few times in sub bullets, it isn't in its own yet. Let's compile.

• The traditional method to find Missingno. is the coast beside Blaine's fire gym with a volcano and brunt down building.

• You still like Pokemon? Nerd! Alternately *Gasp* You're cheating! I'll have to punish you!.

• Missing/place holder data is the cause of Missingno.
  The path you should have never crossed
  The beast exacts a heavy cost
• Missingno. is dangerous.
  The number of the beast is lost
• Missing number: duh.
  You will know it by its hissing
• Missingno's buggy Nidoran♂ cry is associated with it.
  The bones from hell you cannot tame
• "Lewis" is one of the names that will produce the rarer Kabutops fossil Missingno. due to the third character being w (at level 165 due to e being the 2nd character). Additionally, it's not a good idea to catch any varriant. (for the record, it also produces Charmeleon)
  Devour your life and all your fame
• Corrupts the hall of fame data.
  That is the price to play its game
• While it will corrupt the Hall of Fame, it DOES have neat "good" effects.
  And all while you're reminiscing
• Red/Blue is nostalgic.

Harvey is familiar with Pokemon and knows The Entity. The Entity takes time to attack after appearing (it only knows Sky Attack, though the fossil forms can know more than that).

The Entity is also a "glitch", it's "voice is not [its] own", being a Nidroran Male's.

"I'm not that thin" refers to how fan made "models" of Missingno. depict it as a Paper Mario style flat being.

• Also? "Off the coast where the lost beast came"? Mewtwo came from Cinnabar Island as well and, let's not forget, was a clone of Mew - which was considered to be an extinct ("lost") Pokemon until it was rediscovered. Let's not forget either that Missing No is a "Missing Number" and since the Pokemon world is made up of coding, being a videogame, a "Missing Number" would be a literal piece of their world.

In light of MarzGurl's abduction by the Entity, her addressing the Entity as "M..." before being cut off and disappearing fits this theory to a T.

• Confirmed.

The piece of the world that's missing? Good taste.

• Partially correct.

In Tribe Twelve, we've never seen all of The Observer's power, but it's obvious he's not human. With that 'i'm always watching" in Linkara's credits, he's gone back to his old ways. The Observer can insert frames into videos without the maker knowing. The static in Linkara's videos when someone is taken? It might be related to the effects in The Observer's videos (as in, not a style choice, but the guy distorting the data like Slendy does). The Observer's holding back his power when dealing with Noah Maxwell (prefers to freak him out), but he will use his full power against Linkara, who has the Arsenal of Freedom.

• Jossed

I can see you.

• O RLY? Attack me entity!
  • It was just a guess.

Assuming that the entry "The Entity is Missingno" is correct (I think it's completely plausible based off the peom and Harvey's name rater comment), then I believe that 90s Kid is controlling it (though if it IS Missingno how it came to exist outside a Gameboy is still beyond me!).

Flashback to NSD's last scene. His second message was "IT'S VOICE IS NOT ITS OWN", as if it's implying that the Entity is being controlled by something or someone. Since Missingno is a Pokemon I'd imagine it wouldn't speak. The thing we hear when it laughs could quite possibly the laugh of its controller. Now, if The Entity is Missingno, remember that Missingno is, essentially, a Pokemon. Pokemon are controlled by trainers, and so if the Entity is Missingno, if it is being controlled by someone, that someone is likely its trainer. Whom I believe is 90s Kid.

Since Pokemon was a huge part of 90s pop culture, it seems fitting that 90s Kid would be the one controlling Missingno / The Entity. Now, some of you might have noticed that 90s Kid is one of only two non-Linkara Lewis-played characters left in the show now that Harvey and Linksano have been taken. It seems fishy to me that 90s Kid is still alive, and when NSD was taken it seems to me like his phone call to Linkara acted as a way to distract him so that The Entity / Missingno could attack NSD.

If 90s Kid is comtrolling the Entity, we still don't have any idea of how The Entity (if it's Missingno) could possibly exist, nor do we have any motive for the destruction it's caused.

Minor notes: -"I'm 90s Kid, and what you see is what you get... or is it?" -The Entity's laugh sounds to me like it was made by Lewis, implying it was done in the show by one of Lewis' characters.

• The bones from hell you 'can not tame''. The laugh is his because Liz is the only other person able to do the voice for it, so its 50/50 at best/worst.

Confirmed, although Missingno. is taking the form of 90s Kid. Ninja Style Dancer and Harvey are popular, well liked characters amongst Linkara's fanbase. Quesada has secretly bought a few shares of Channel Awesome and is retconning their presence because he feels he's more 'interesting' without those two. He's treating NSD's disappearance like an important plot point so he can trail onto something else and pretend it never happened, and the Harvey's disappeared line is just nothing more than a handwave. Judging by his track record so far, his eventual target will be Liz. Linkara will be more 'interesting' without her.

• Jossed

Linkara admitted that he was/is a power ranger in silent hill dead alive #5. Linkara will review the comic, then the lord zedd will come in carrying the heads of the rest of his team and will need the help of a lot of the power rangers to stop the Entity.

• Supported by this.
• Jossed

Just try to prove me wrong.

Think about it: IT'S VOICE IS NOT IT'S OWN

• Jossed

Given that it's actually posted the comments section, it being a troper isn't too much of a stress. Who knows, some of the entries here may have been the Entity's handiwork. Or even mine. Tell me if I'm just faking it or not, mortal.

• All the world is mine will take. As the champion's followers shiver and shake. Darkness falls and the Fourth Wall will break. As the lips of death you're kissing.
  • Entity, is that you? Or are you someone putting down what has already been seen in the anonymous comment section. Or is this the anonymous comment?!

• That's why it's being so sneaky and intimidating. It needs fear to survive, and that's why it latched onto AT4W and Linkara's house, to get as many people afraid of it as possible. This means that if you stop being afraid of it, it stops having any power. The solution here is to stop being afraid of it. Of course, this doesn't explain why it hasn't made Linkara as paranoid as the viewers, but the Entity might be doing that on purpose to make sure AT4W lasts as long as possible.
  • That is eerily similar of the Fear Demon. It preyed on weaknesses and made you believe into something. And in a case of Your Mind Makes It Real, Linkara hasn't yet to believe in The Entity, which is why it hasn't made itself known to him. Its because its preying on that weakness to hide.
    • Well in that case, he'll just smoosh it and we'll all have a good laugh at the special effects failure that it is.
• Jossed

This is self-explanatory.

• Jossed

The hype about Missingno is WAY to overrated. If you actually look at the coding, fans have proved, via HACKING THE GAME'S CODE that Missigno cannot cause lasting harm to your gameboy or save file. Instead, it's one of the other, VASTLY MORE DANGEROUS glitch pokemon. See the full list here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Glitch_Pok%C3%A9mon

• Jossed

Seriously, compared to some of the others, Missingno is a regular mon.

• Hell, Missingno may even just want to be friends.

Now you're probably wondering why I chose the Bad Egg instead of other glitches. Well, it's for these reasons

• It allows a lot of creative freedom. We've got no idea what's in the Bad Egg, because You Cannot Comprehend The True Form. It could do anything from break the trainer's mind to end everything.
• Lord Vyce said that the Entity shouldn't exist. This could refer to the fact that it's an Eldritch Abomination, or it could refer to the fact that you can't get it in the game without cheating.
• "It's voice is not it's own" hints that something is controlling it. Could it refer to the person who hacked their game to get it?

In conclusion, the Entity is what happens when the Bad Egg hatches. This lead to Fridge Horor: that there could be contless versions of the Entity. It could also mean that the Entity is an Enfante Terrible. Which may explain it's giggling.

• Partial-Confirmed. The entity is all of the glitches

Linkara literally has a monkey on his back. It's invisible, that's why you don't see it. That's all I got.

• Jossed

That photo form Harvey's twitter looks familiar, doesn't it?

Or possesing her, or something like that. First, the "lips of death" thing. And the newest message? "I am beautiful". Now, when Linkara was first asked who provided the Entity's voice, he only said "That would be telling". The Entity, when it laughs, sounds JUST like Liz to me. I would gamble on this one.

• Jossed

-Missingno?

-Mechakara?

-Me (as in MarzGurl)?

-Ma Ti?

• Jossed.

-'M‎, another glitch Pokemon?

• Jossed.

It would explain why MarzGurl recognized it when she was abducted. Also, there's the Evil Laugh...

• I could believe this.

• Jossed

Lord Vyce says something about almost every universe having a champion, this could just be his word for different Linkaras.

• Semi-Jossed.Neither Lord vyce or the entity are AU linkaras, but champion may mean AU Linkara, as Vyce himself is not a champion.
• Jossed. Ensign Munro is the champion of his universe, but he isn't an AU Linkara

A Woodchuck.

• Jossed

It is a fog, spreading throughout the world, absorbing people into it, leaving non-organic things, such as Warrior #4 when spoony was taken, alone. He was so specific, it's hard not to thing he knows something about what's going on.

• Jossed
  • Maybe not, if you consider computing data a form of energy.

• If the Entity is Missingno, it only makes sense that we'll be seeing other Glitch Pokémon down the line, most likely 'M.
  • Each of them could have their own names/relations to the Entity/Missingno.
    • The Source could refer to Glitch City.
    • Yellow Missingno is significantly more powerful than its original counterpart. one-winged Missingno?!
    • I suspect none other than motherf***ing Ghetsis is going to try and control these things.
    • Considering their similarities, M Block is the more powerful "brother" of the Entity. Call it "The Incarnate."
    • The Bad Egg is the child of the Entity, spreading horror to a new generation.
    • Glitched trainers and Pokemon are those mutated or closely worshipping the Entity and its brethren. Call them "The Accursed."
• Jossed. It's heavily being implied all glitches are actually just the entity.

IT has no voice or physical appearance of it's own, it has to use others. This suggests to me it bonds with the person, meaning that some of 90s kid is still in there. Plus, the entity was revealed during the planet of the symbiotes. Or at least, the Pokemon connection is not as literal as it appears, similar to Vyce being being similar to a Power Rangers villain but with key differences. This is a last layer of misdirection to make the arc finale all the more shocking. While the first and second verses of the poem are satisfied by this explanation, the third is not unless it just means a corrupted save file. "The bones from hell you cannot tame Devour your life and all your fame That is the price to play its game And all while you're reminiscing"

• Bones from hell=fossil Missingno., which would appear to a trainer named "Lewis".

Something interesting struck me a while back, Linkara was reading the story of the origin of what we learned to be his magic gun. He was nearly driven insane, almost enough to kill himself, but the gun stopped him, calling him a friend. The thing is that the anger of the gun still manifested something that tried to attack him. He apparently got the information on the gun from the book that also talked about the entity. What this would imply is that the entity is iteself the deity that was worshipped, and the gun was made to kill enemies of that God. This might also be why it hasn't taken Linkara, maybe it can't, the gun itself might actually be a sort of protection from entity field, where it can't directly grab Linkara. It would also explain why the entity was staying in or near Linkaras home, and why Vyce mentioned he was sure where it was, this happened after Silent Hill grabbed Linkara again during his second wave of comic reviews.

• CONFIRMED

Despite referring to itself as Missingno, Word Of God has confirmed all the other glitches to be different forms. Why is this? In order to gain more power, the Entity absorbed all other glitches in its path.

Mechakara said that in order to destoy Linkara they must first destroy him mentally with a bad comic, and Dead/Alive (the sequel to the horrible Dying Inside from last year) has already began to take its toll on his sanity with its awfulness, due to the reveal at the end that he was just hallucinating Liz and Finevoice talking to him during the review. It also seems like Dead/Alive will make him lose his understanding of magic since he doesn't understand why Christabella doesn't just use her demonic powers to change her appearance, as well as why the witch Lenora even needed Christabella for her plan and Christabella acquiring her sister's demonic powers. Confirmed It's all Mechakara+Holograms. The Pollo who tells him he has been alone is a decloaked Mechakara and either the Liz and Harvey are real and just left or are holograms.

• Plausible, given the official reveal of much of the hallucinations being Mechakara's Gaslighting}.

Its Marzgurl, who was heavily hinted to have been with Linkara before Iron Liz entered the picture. Linkara left her for dead at some point before meeting Iron Liz and may not know she's still alive, and his guilt over it is what keeps summoning Silent Hill to him.

• Jossed: He's talking out of his ass.

Up until now, Linkara has just been using the gun as well... A gun. He never knew it's true origin or abilities. But now, not only is he familiar with the gun, but he's made contact with the spirit of the girl and has a new understanding and bond with her and the weapon. Furthermore, Dolorem, the personification of the girl's pain and suffering, has been expelled, and I think that this left the gun "purified", so instead of being only destructive, it may have other capabilities. This was hinted at when the gun let out a beam of white energy, instead of it's usual red "shot". With Linkara's new understanding of the magic gun, he may be able to unlock new power.

• Well, besides the red "shot" and white beam, as of Suburban Knights it can shoot bullets, if you count that as a new power...
• It may function like a Zanpakuto. If Linkara can contact the spirit within again and learn her name, he can unleash its true power.
  • Linkara with a Magical Device... My god, Linkara is our universe's Nanoha. Oh god this means that Spoony is our universe's Fate.
    • Nah, they never properly Befriended that way, he's more of a Yuuno.

You heard the gun click,and a white light (SYMBOLISM!) envelop him. Everything that happened afterwards was his Dying Dream, and Pollo is producing a clone of him

• Um, the gun didn't click.

The magic gun is.

The path you should have never crossed. The beast exacts a hevey cost. The number of the beast is lost. You will know it by its hissing.

After all it came from the Silent hill tome

• Confirmed somewhat-it's part of the Entity's Poem.

We know that Linkara didn't sacrifice the girl, but someone else did. Someone who worshiped an evil god. Also in that review a few of the lines in the book speak of her not getting to Heaven. And the weapon i.e. the magic gun was made to wipe out all things, as told by Linkara in the intros to the Silent Hill Dead Alive Reviews. Then when Linkara first met Vyce he said the people who worshiped the entity claimed it was the end of all things. In an even earlier review Mechakara wanted the magic gun because it could destroy all life in the multiverse. Coincidence?

• Confirmed.

To help with the Nightmare Fuel, let's show what may happen if Linkara has a Heel Face Turn. You remember Mechakara and Mirrorkara? Well, let's say you put their personalities in a blender. You add it to an Enemy Within Linkara, embodying the dark side of his soul. Then give it the Valeyard route. Picture a guy with the suave nature of Linkara, all his intrests...but bloated pride, control of the soul and a cold, twisted soul. You have Evilkara. A demented sociopath with zero restraints, who will crush all he encounters for power. Twisted hero, destroying his friends and family for power. A world coated in blood, under the heel of the Entity's messiah. Distored, blood-choaked screams of the pitiful slaves, under the DESPOTIC HORROR OF EVILKARA! SCREAMS OF THE AUDIENCE, BEG FOR MERCY AND RELEASE!

• Hate to quash such a fantastically terrifying idea, but he stated in the commentary for the Dead/Alive finale that he's probably going to go more light-hearted like the Dying Inside reviews.

• Jossed

He's wearing a mobile emitter in the Silent Hill: Paint It Black review, which probably means he's projecting an image of himself from a safe bunker or island or spaceship somewhere.

• CONFIRMED

He wand the Silent Hill to come and ask it to Stop the Entity.

• Jossed

How (rejected prototype? An exception to the no manga rule?) No clue! But the "final Silent Hill comic I'll have to review" at the end of Among the Damned seems to indicate it.

• Silent Hill: The Grinning Man
• No, that's next week's review, the OP's talking about the "surprise" review on Halloween. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Silent Hill comic, probably not one by Scott Ciensen though.
• No, the final silent hill comic he mentioned IS the grinning man, there are no other bad ones he's read.
• The unpublished Silent Hill graphic novel from 2000.
• Jossed

Whatley's goal was to spread the terror of the entity. However inadvertently, that's exactly what happened. We are scared of the Entity, just go look at the nightmare fuel page. The order's plans have succeeded. IIRC, there was a comment that mentions that 90'Kid is gone but oddly enough he wasn't abducted like the rest of them. What if the 90's Kid that we see is not THE 90's Kid we know and love?

• And let's not forget (I forget which review this was at the end of):
  90's Kid: I'm 90's Kid, and what you see is what you get!... Or is it?

  • Confirmed.

Anyone else find it odd that during Dead Alive that he started speaking normally. Many could argue that it was Vyce Mechakara and Silent Hill messing with Linkara. However since AT 4 Wverse's Whatley revealed that [[spoilers: The Entity is the god his sect worshiped.]] Makes me wonder...

• Jossed, the Dead Alive 90s kid was a fake, just like all the others.

He randomly wound up in a Dark World version of his house at the end of his Silent Hill: Dying Inside review, with two Pyramid Heads randomly showing up. His massive supply of shitty comics is probably his punishment for whatever he did wrong.

Going with the " The Entity is Missing No theory." The Magic Gun spirit was officially described as female. Missing No was only available in Generation I when Leaf didn't exist. It could be the reason she's not around in Generation I is due to her parent's murder. He probably asked it to take him there in an emergency.

...she was sent into a Mirror Multiverse! Think about it - why else would Mirrorkara's intro have clips of him fighting Mechakara and Vyce? Because he actually fought "MirrorMechakara" and "MirrorVyce," who in their multiverse, are not evil. I haven't watched the episode in a while, so I'm not sure if they say "universe" but even if they did, how would they know the difference? Mirror Universe!Linkara has admitted to like Rob Liefeld (shudder), it would make sense that he and that universe's version of 90's kid would be the best of friends. If main world 90's Kid is all the negative parts of the 90's (confirmed on Brows Held High) than Mirror!Kid has very good taste and despises the Liefeld era. One could argue that it should be the other way around since Insano has the gadgets and Mechakara has the nigh invulnerability but their personalities would say otherwise. Mirror Insano's lines sound like something Superman would say, heroic but modest. So in theory if there were a Mirror Mechakara he would probably be a hero too like Mirror Insano. However his (Mechakara's) personality would much be in line with Batman's.

• The Nostalgia Critic and Film Brain have reversed roles. NC calls himself The Millennium Overviewer, and Film Brain is still Film Brain. Ask That Guy is Affably Evil, and Chester A Bum is a rich film snob. Douchey Mc Nitpick is a white knight, to the point of intolerance. And adoring his idols.
• Spoony is played by Miles Antwiler.
• Rob Liefeld is a great writer, yet a terrible artist. His writing more than makes up for this.
• The Angry Video Game Nerd still reviews bad games, but he's in constant sarcasm mode. The Irate Gamer is basically the Chester A Bum of game reviews. He's even better than the AVGN, but still regarded as a rip-off.

Because they're already alternate versions of Linkara and Pollo respectively. . Diamanda Hagan is a part of TGWTG crew and she has good counterpart in Hero's mirror universe.

90's Kid however, who is calm and sophisticated gentleman, sees comics as what they are and appears on Mirror Linkara's show to complain about their flaws, making well though, reasonable arguments based on deep analysis.

• Wait...there's a version of Youngblood that's decent?! OMGWTFBBQ quaaa...

... is a huge fan of the greater mainstream appeal indie comics enjoyed in the 90s with books like Ghostworld, and is a total hipster who smokes pipes and wears tweed blazers with logo tees of bands you;ve never heard of. His theme song is an accoustic cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Linkara's foes often stem from alternate universes, so there is at least one multiverse (henceforth dubbed the Normalverse). The intro for Mirror Linkara showed him fighting Mechakara and Lord Vyce, both of whom are among said multiverse. It seems unlikely that they are the same individuals that regular Linkara fought, so this implies that there are alternate universe copies of them for Mirror Linkara to battle... and if we operate by Mirror Universe rules, they might be more heroic versions of their Normalverse selves. This suggests a Mirror Multiverse. In addition to these two, the Warrior specials have had hypertime distortions that brought together multiple Doctor Insanos. Given the existence of at least one Insano in each multiverse, a potential Insanoverse intersects through the other multiverses. Unless similar patterns arise, it is fairly safe to assume there are at least three interconnected multiverses: Normalverse, Mirrorverse, and the intersecting Insanoverse.

• Alternatively, it's the same Vyce. We didn't see his body, and this could be the universe that convinced him to "force the issue."
• "There is no continuity. There is only Insano." Rather than being part of some intersecting multiverse, Insano instead stems from some kind of "insanity wound" in hypertime, resulting in all manner of Insanos across multiple realities. Perhaps not even "multiple", but just one Insano entity (albeit not THE Entity) fractured into multiple personas and forms.

Alright, I'm reeeeaaaalllllyyyyy late with this, but it makes sense. Dr. Linksano is referred to as an alternate universe version of Dr. Insano, and Mirror Insano is played by Lewis, so maybe because its a mirror world Dr. Linksano has Insano's name and vice-versa. Also this would mirror how Linksano was a Harmless Villain.

If you didn't know, Linkara has been building a cybermat for awhile now, saying he's going to use it this November. I'm guessing, that since Mechakara went from the hand to Pollo v.02, he will go into the cybermat.

• Jossed

What if he has the power to possess machines now and uses it to turn the various doohickeys that Linkara uses on the show against him?

• Jossed

Especially now that Mechakara has just managed to sneak onboard. Perhaps in the final battle against Mechakara, or in a desperate last resort move that destroys both the ship and Mechakara, resulting in a Pyrrhic Victory for Linkara and crew.

• Jossed, on both accounts: the ship remains intact and... it's Lord Vyce, not Mechakara.

Linkara is doing a 3-part review of Star Trek 2, which deals with an antagonist's revenge for being abandoned on a desolate planet by the hero, just as Linkara did to Vyce. Mechakara is the means by which Vyce will escape and seek revenge, mirroring the plot of the comic.

• That's fucking brilli- OH! Linkara mentioned that an upcoming arc would introduce Pollo's new design. Pollo, who was there with him before AT4W even began. Pollo, who is inevitably going to sacrifice himself to save many others. Pollo, who will be resurrected some-fucking-how, probably by uploading his consciousness into NIMUE and...well, he'll just need a new robot body. A trip to the junk shop should take care of that.
  • Jossed: Instead he WAS Lord Vyce!

Think about it for a minute. Linkara programmed her with ‘honesty and ethical guidelines’ to stop her taking over the word. However, her job is to protect Comicron-1 and, at the end of the last review, Linkara said he’d be willing to blow up Comicron-1 rather than let Mechakara take control it. Maybe it’s just the fact Nimue looks like HAL but I can’t see her being too happy about that.

• Jossed: While she has stated what she woulda done had she followed the guidelines. She also mentioned a subroutine that in layman's terms that should an event like that put her in that situation, her answer in Linkara's words was "Screw them it's not my problem."
  • Not jossed yet: She said that it would be a waist of her time and recourses to take over the world because her job is to run and maintain Comicron-1. However, she didn’t say what she’d do if Comicron-1 was threatened.

Her exact words when asked if she would take over the world were, “Such an action would be entirely illogical and ill-advised. This unit’s function is to maintain a spaceship; its programming carefully fine-tuned for that purpose. And, as such, assuming direct control over humanity would be a drain on that task since it would require micromanagement of the populous in addition to the deaths of people who would undoubtedly disobey and attempt to disrupt this unit’s work. As such the answer is to maintain orbit and allow humanity to do what it wishes.”

Linkara summarised by saying, “Screw them it's not my problem,” but threatening Comicron-1 would very much count as her problem.

• Ok now I’ll admit it’s Jossed.

His old body will be destroyed trying to re-balance the engines in a homage to Spock's death in Wrath of Khan. Confirmed

• Not quite. The old body was destroyed due to the radiation frying his circuits, but Pollo was able to download his conscience somewhere else. Moreover, take into account of the Search for Spock. Next part of the story arc is likely to be the team searching for Pollo and finally getting him his new body.

Neutro is big enough to house Pollo’s conscience and it has no mind of its own.

• Jossed: He was in Linkara’s model Tom Servo

Recently on Twitter, Linkara said he's lucky it snowed where he is, because he needs some "outdoor snowy shots" for an upcoming episode. He tried to cover it up by saying it might be for a Snowflame reference in the New Guardians review or "lots of other reasons," but I'd bet dollars to donuts it's for Lord Vyce's prison dimension.

• Jossed. Snowflame did appear.
• However, that doesn't mean Vyce won't show up again sometime in the future...
• Confirmed, as of the "Youngblood #4" review... in vocal form, at least.

Warning: all of this is spoileriffic. Linkara blasted Vyce-kara out into space, and they were already in the distant solar system. Note that, in the comic which Neutro appeared, he was created by the Plutonians for conquest. Given Neutro actually exists in the CA-verse, its a safe bet that they do here(not to mention it'll give us a big Brick Joke.)

The way I see it going down is this: Lord Vyce ends up trapped in Pluto's orbit, and is found by the Plutonians. Vyce is pleased that they don't know who he is, so decides to help them out: he tells them that their Neutro has been stolen and hijacked by Linkara, and gives them enough information so that they consider upgrading him a good idea. His new apperance is a more mechanical version of his Vyce shirt, but with some Neutro-esque looks and a hint as his nature as someone from a Pokemon game.

When Linkara comes looking, he'll find Vyce gone. The actual Vyce will be sending an invasion to Earth in order to distract him, so he can hack on the V-Ship again. During this, he'll scan the planet, to see where Linkara's "haughty claims" come from.

At the end of the His Blue Soul story arc, it was revealed that Lord Vyce had converted himself into a being of pure data, similar to the Entity that he hated so much in his own words. Soon after, he was left adrift in space, vowing that he wasn't finished.

This will kick of a series of events where Linkara will come into conflict with Lord Vyce again at some point in the future. Vyce will push Linkara to the point where he has to take extreme steps to stop him continuing to enslave, conquer and destroy entire worlds. With no other option, Linkara will use technology stolen from Dr Insano to open a rift in Hypertime which he will throw Vyce into. After sealing the rift, Linkara will believe Vyce destroyed.

But due to Vyce now existing in data form he will survive, but not unscathed. Trapped for relative centuries or more outside of any real existance, Vyce will be damaged, ravaged, and corrupted, his mind broken and barely functioning. And then finally he will fall out of Hypertime into a world and time that he should find familiar from long ago in the past. But in his insane and amnesiac state, he won't remember the world, his reason for living, or anything except for one single phrase that defines him - "All that I see, I conquer". And he will continue his mission of conquest in the only way he can now, his reasons like his memories, his past, and his name... Missing...

The anniversary has been revealed to be sci-fi based, and Vyce was last seen floating outside the solar system. He could hitch a ride on one of the spaceships and attempt his revenge against Linkara. Plus it wouldn't too hard for him to be to be in the special, all Lewis has to do is bring the Pollo 2.0 body for filming certain shots.

• This would be pretty fitting. Lord Vyce, and his antagonist the Entity were depicted affecting things world-wide. What would show how far-reaching his threat is? Have him play a part of the Fourth Anniversary!

• Here's the evidence that I have so far gathered:

1. In the Uncanny X-Men #424 Previously On segment, Linkara is devastated that Marzgurl has broken up with him.
   Linkara: But Marzgurl,I thought you loved me!
   Marzgurl: Believe me, baby, I do... but I love Stalin more! (cue Evil Laugh)
2. Then after that, in Daredevil #306, Linkara and Marzgurl must have gotten back together, for he was breaking up with her. (But he probably got back together again, or they want to get back together again... * Cough* )
3. He gets pretty Papa Wolfish of her. He did the Cool World review with her when she was still trying to find her niche, and defended her against her haters.◊
4. In that review, it seemed like Marzgurl got pretty jealous when Linkara was leering at Holly.
5. In the 1st year Anniversary Brawl, they fought despite being on the same team.
6. Kickassia probably has some of the Crowning Moments, with Linkara rushing over when she is knocked over and telling her to find comfort "in [his] masculine arms."
   • Jossed, regarding real-life Lewis, anyway: He already has a girlfriend.
     • I didn't mean Lewis and Kaylin; I meant Linkara and MarzGurl. ;^)
     • Also Jossed: In Linkara's 100th episode, Linkara and Iron Liz are clearly living together.
     • I have another theorem: They indeed did date(the characters) but broke up shortly after Kickassia over the whole Linking up with Linkara thing. Then he meets Liz in universe and the rest is history.
     • Which means its only a matter of time before someone decides to OT 3 them.
     • Rule34, dude. Someone probably already has.
     • ...Big Brother Instinct?

And the entire universe will implode. He has the Dragon Dagger, Insano has Neutro, This could be the Super Mecha Death Christ VS. Robot Donkey Kong Jesus Riding A Cloud match all over again.

• He was recently also looking for (and received via donation) a morpher, so he's got to be planning something Power Rangers related.
  • He also recently bought the entire Green Ranger costume so this could be more likely now.
• Jossed. Linkara said his dragon dagger couldn't summon dragon zord.

• Either with the Comicron 1 or Vigilant.
• Said this was doubtful on the forums.

At the end of Final Fantasy VIII Linkara plans to bring Spoony back to life. Which only someone who was friends with someone would do willingly. Along with that, the reason he doesn't think Insano is Spoony is because he refuses to believe such a thing and would rather think Insano is Bennett or Goggles.

• That's not counting the Ho Yay angle.
  • Linkara said he was straight. Of course, men are straight for Spoony.
• But... their accents are completely different; Spoony's 'a's are shorter and twangier and Linkara's got that semi-British pronunciation of 'room' that slips out from time to time.
  • Spoony is Arizonan. Linkara is Minnesotan. Their accents are probably regional.
  • Fools, hast thou no prior knowlage of SKYPE!?!?!

That grey lump of protoplasm? That's not all that remains of Spoony, as Spoony survived. Unfortunately, he makes an imperfect clone that goes nuts and goes back in time.

• I dunno, that final shot of the explosion didn't have Spoony in it. Course, that just means that Linkara tried twice...
  • According to Familiar Faces, he creates a clone Dr Insano.

• Think about it, Linkara is some kind of superhero, and 90's kid is the complete opposite of him. Not only that, but he likes "dark" and "edgy" antiheroes...
  • You mean 90s kid isn't already evil?
    • Not evil, just obnoxious. He's like a pop-up, really.
  • 90's Kid is now a manifestation of Silent Hill that is tormenting Linkara for reasons we can scarcely comprehend.
• Considering the Silent Hill Review Alternate Endings video(2009), in which 90's Kid's answering machine says "If you're calling about our secret plans about global domination, press 2," I would say this theory is right on the money.
  • Further proof: In the stinger of X-Force #1, 90's Kid gives his standard line with a twist: "I'm 90's Kid, and what you see is what you get. Or is it?"
    • Semi-confirmed, He's evil because he was replaced by the Entity.

Explains why he has such a robot fetish.

Which explains his confusion in the Adamantium Rage video. And everyone falls for it hook, line, and sinker. ...but he's tired of hearing people talking about it. That's because people tend to talk about the Silver Age's hat of being bizarre and strange. Because he gets so sick about hearing "(insert name here) got spanked! And (insert name here) is doing something really weird by getting a new costume and/or power!", he backlashes against the whole Age in general. He just plays Too Dumb to Live so nobody could find out. Also, as a part of Insano's final plan, 90'sKid is going to take control over all Bums by telling them "Duuuudes! Who needs change? What we need is more GUNS!'', releasing their true power and turning into army of Bloodguns - robots built from guns, that don't even have a faces - there's just another gun.

• Well, the alternative ending for his Silent Hill: Dying Inside review showed that 90's Kid is trying to take over the world, as well as start a fan club for Rob Liefeld.
  • My question is, which is the more evil act?

Let's put aside popularity and stuff like that. So far, two people have left the site: That Dude In The Suede, because he needed to leave, and That Aussie Guy, because he had to. Now realize that previously, three different members of the site did guest videos for Ask That Guy: That Dude In The Suede, That Aussie Guy... And Linkara. IT'S A SIGN!

• Suede only temporarily left. He will (hopefully) return.
  • As of Suburban Knights, he has returned
• Jossed. The third person to leave was Little Miss Gamer (The reason being the disbandment of PBC Productions).

Marik states that his staff works only for people that have Steve in their name. You see where I'm going with this. When not morphed, he's Lewis Lovhaug. By extension, he has to use the morpher to put on the suit and hat- it only looks like an ordinary outfit, but is actually a magical Henshin Hero suit. Thus, whenever we see someone wearing the jacket and hat (IE, Spoony in the Ultimate Warrior review, Pollo in the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers review, that person is Linkara, they just aren't Lewis Lovhaug underneath it.

• It naturally follows that the reason he was so nervous about letting Pollo review wasn't anything Pollo was saying, but discomfort with giving Pollo the Power of Linkara. It also follows that the reason he was so upset about the loss of his hat in the Bad Future seen in the Terminator comic is that without the hat, his powers are greatly reduced, since the hat composes half of the suit.
• Also would explain why he has to have a successor, in the form of Iron Liz.

It would explain why they all speak in either totally radical dialogue or valley girl speak. 60's kid is obviously 80's chick and 90's kid father.

He retconned his own memory of Insano being a guy.

• He referenced Chobits in Superman At Earth's End, so...
  • In his That Guy With the Glasses introduction video, he also said that he would review a manga if he could find one bad enough, but then, this was also before Y Ruler of Time was picked up, so Linkara might leave any bad manga to him.
    • Or maybe they'll do a crossover review of a really bad manga chapter during the second Anniversary thing.
    • As of his "Top 15 comics I will never review", he stated clearly that he will be leaving all manga to Y.
  • He showed in his Q & A vlog that he owns some volumes of Steam Detectives. Wild Mass Guessing confirmed.

His voice sounds masculine. So does his looks. He also reviews comic books, mostly for males. Punch.

• Evil Burton's name is Lord Vyce, and he's responsible for Mechakara's return.

His quotes have been appearing on nearly every trope he tangentially talks about. He is using this in a slow bid to make all tropers give him their undying loyalty until he gains the power to crown himself Lord of the Tropes. With his troper army, he will soon gain control over all the internet, and then the world! (Of course!)

• Alternatively, he'll force him to review all the remaining issues of the Warrior comic. It could be a joint review with Spoony like the first one, since they are making crossovers during the Kickassia event.
  • The second is semi-confirmed as they did issues two and three, and ends up featuring not just Linksano, but Insanos and Linkaras of all kinds, like the last time a Warrior comic was reviewed..

• There is no continuity, there is only Insano; but what of Linksano? In a personification of mad science, consistency and continuity only slow one down. While Dr. Insano's origins, motives, and threat level fluctuate wildly in ways that make him all the more unpredictable and dangerous, Linksano has been forced to remain consistent, and therefore was stuck at a relatively low threat level, perhaps due to Linkara's concern with continuity. If he can drive Linkara insane, he will be messing with his own continuity through the existence of multiple versions of himself, letting him start to catch up to Dr. Insano.

His initials are L.L., and he's a comic book guy. Stands to reason. It's like Linkara's magic gun, only it's SCIENCE!

• So... a regular gun?
  • No, a science gun. It can cancel out magic, works with scientific principles and shoots disintegrator beams.

There's have to be at least one Evil Twin/Good twin universe

• In this AU, Linkara forged the magic gun himself and Insano battles his snarky, depressive side (represented by Spoony).

He's actually a Bizarro version of Linkara

• Jossed. 90's kid is from some kind of 90's limbo. Although that revelation was only from a Cinema Snob video, so it may not be canon.

Every universe has one Insano, if Linksano came from the Partymania universe , there would have been TWO Insanos (one normal and one Linksano). Linksano came from a very similar universe to the PM one, with the only difference being which Schlumper brother became a Mad Scientist (the other one might be his Sidekick or something)

• I think he is... There are two Schlumper brothers in the video, one became Insano, as shown at the end. The other became Linksano.
  • It seems more likely that in Linksano's universe, the Shlumper brother that became Insano was the other one, and the one that became Insano in the normal universe...did something else.
• Not necessarily. The main universe has two Doctor Insanos(three, if you count the split personality Insano): the clone Insano living with Spoony(who seems to be a kinder version of the original), and the paradox Insano who killed Spoony(and by the looks of it, is the Insano fighting Linkara).

I concur.

• Confirmed by latest title card.
• Jossed by Liz's blog.

MarzGurl obviously has feelings for Linkara, Iron Liz is curently dating Linkara, Linkara is going to review Action Comics #592 and #593, every two-part review has a Previously On segment that has various TGWTG members doing something, MarzGurl is usually one of those members to contribute, it all adds up. Too bad we'll only get a taste, most likely due to Linkara being a feminist and the two girls living in completely diffrent states.

• Jossed

...only to be brought back by Pollo, as foreshadowed by the beginning of Chain Gang War #1. Once again getting the year wrong.

• Jossed

And she'll turn out to be alternate universe sexbot!

• Moreover, she'll be made of iron.
• There's no Mechaliz yet, but Liz does have an Evil Counterpart: Judas Liz.

He loves crossovers, he put Lightbringer and Angel Armor in the same universe to do crossovers, and the plot of AT4W is based on multi-dimentional crossovers. Anyone think that'd be kickass?

• Hoo-boy! One can only consider the possiblities...
• Darkbringer and Douchey Mc Nitpick join forces and take Linkara hostage, forcing Lightbringer and the Nostalgia Critc to distract them with a 'Top 11 Lightbringer f*ck ups while Liz and Osprey stage a rescue.
• Doctor Insano unleashes Neutro on Pharos City.
• The Cinema Snob reduces Darkbringer to a sobbing wreck after a harsh scolding.
• An epic science vs science showdown between Doctor Insano and Mindmistress!
• Dasien and Parker take on Ultimate Spoony, culminating in him exposing Parker's lesbianism.
• That Guy with the Glasses is the Smiling Man, having escaped captivity and regrown his hair.
• Lightbringer will either be someone from The TGWTG glasses crew, or be added in Roger Rabbit style like Casper.

Judas Liz said that there could only be one. Furthermore, both of them use swords as their main weapons.

• Linkara isn't a Troper, and neither is Lewis for that matter. He does frequent the site, but doesn't contribute anything.
  • For all we know he's lying

Seriously, just look at Pollo and tell me I'm wrong. She was in secret training to become the next comic reviewer/champion of earth until the Linkara Lost disappearance forced her to be revealed. Since she performed well there, she's now moved to stage two of her apprenticeship - reviewing her own passion and fighting alongside him, all while inadvertently cultivating her own rogue's gallery.

He's the one who wrote that infamous scene in Kickassia, after all.

• And had them against each other on the brawl, which also ship-tease-ish.

Rob Walker wasn't just kidding when he showed 90's Kid Todd's thesis. The 90's Kid that we know and love is just him goofing during his time off. In his day job he's a highly respected academic economist and feminist who studies the economic effects of varying social policies on men and women such as paid maternal leave, different health care needs and sex specific abortion. In fact, this is one of the reasons why he's not cool with punching pregnant chicks - it reminds him of some of the horror stories he uncovered studying sex specific abortion in China and India. He just doesn't think that being a feminist means he can't do what he thinks is fun.

• Basically confirmed in Todd's review of Rhianna's song "S&M". Rob Walker says that Todd isn't experience enough in the field of feminism to tackle such a subject, so who does he hand it to? 90's Kid. Though...
  90's Kid: What's a Rhianna?

Didn't Future!Linkara once think to warn his past self of the magic gun, then going "it's only my sanity"? Given what the Magic Gun is, this may not simply be a non-sequiter. Plus, with the Entity on the loose, this could happen. And when it's done, it won't be for laughs. Okay, let me explain. Dr Insano is traditionally a split personality, clone or what have you of Spoony. Earth-982 has Insano and Linksano as the Schlumper brothers. Linksano is an AU Linkara. Thus Linkara and Spoony would be brothers. But wait, you say! Schlumper!Insano was intrested in Female!Spoony. This is because that Spoony was an Opposite-Sex Clone, sent back in time. Schlumper!Insano is oblivious, thus Incest Is Relative. And yes, I've just destroyed the Linkara/Spoony pairing. But like it matters. In the Nostalgia Critic's "You're A Dirty Rotten Bastard" special, the angel Roger shows the Critic a would-be Earth where he never existed. While this itself may just seem like a viewing of "what might have been", wouldn't it be a kicker if Roger (perhaps unwittingly) took him to an actual parallel world?

• Wouldn't have to be. The many-worlds interpretation means that it would exist as an alternate timeline and alternate universe.

He is currently trying to get a Nightmare Fuel page.

• He has good potential of becoming a horror writer.

In a Precision F-Strike "Get away from her, you bitch" moment. Linkara has been through killer robots, universal conquerors, supernatural mindrape and Bimbos in Time without dropping the F-Bomb, and having Liz being in trouble be what makes him say it will add to the drama of the situation, add depth to their onscreen relationship, and launch a thousand fanfics. Okay, everyone knows about Iron Liz and her love of puns. Well, looking over all the Power Rangers episode titles from ALL the seasons, I'm seeing a ton of puns, shout-outs, and references in them. Linkara probably can at least tolerate puns or even likes them as much as his girlfriend due to prolonged exposure as a Power Rangers fan. Ok, she is 13, dead, and according to the majority of the world that would be considered wrong. However she wouldn't be the first child character to have a crush on the main hero. (See Twilight Princess.) Now these two have been partners since AT4W had their own story line and she let him use the gun against others when she could have just killed him like she did her parents and was even able to keep him from using the gun on himself despite clearly pulling the trigger. Though he still never explained how he purchased it or how he was able to use it without any damage to himself. If she didn't like him let alone love him then he wouldn't have been able to use the weapon.

• Semi-Jossed. There's no relationship, the girl just thinks of Linkara as a friend.

That's where the Linkara hologram came from.

• Confirmed

We learned in a cinema snob video that 90's kid is from a place that is still in the 90's. And as we all know,The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland. He just paints it red and white so people don't realize. In Mechakara's world, Linkara's fight with Dr Insano and Neutro happened earlier, before Linkara got the Magic Coin, and Linkara therefore failed to defeat the giant robot, being forced to escape. Insano went full out, using Neutro to conquer the world while equipping it with more and more evil science created by himself. Unfortunately, this included giving Neutro both artificial intelligence and the ability to take over other technology, which of course led to Neutro betraying and killing Insano and taking over the world for itself. During this chaos, Linkara got hold of the Magic Coin and moved to confront Neutro a second time, not realising that Neutro had infected and corrupted Pollo, who killed Linkara in a suprise attack. Pollo didn't recognise the power of the Magic Gun at the time, and the surviving humans managed to grab it and eventually use it to learn how to tap into magic as a way to fight the robots. Pollo used Linkara's remains to make himself into the Mechakara, hoping to get the Magic Gun to counter the humans' magical attacks, but was never able to obtain the Gun from the humans. Then when the Insano of our Linkara's universe created a rift in Hypertime, Neutro sent Mechakara through to the other universe, figuring that it would be easier to take from people who didn't know the robots existed. And, in a truly ironic turn of events, Mechakara would ultimately find himself facing down against and defeated by an alternate version of its own master. A little girl, whose name was lost, part of the sacrificed data used for the 'creation' of Missing No. A little girl who killed her parents and all members of the Missing No. cult (why the cult doesn't appear in the game) but is a good hearted person who cares about those who help her defeat evil (like the standard pokemon player character). It would explain quite a few things about him:

• His hatred for all organic lifeforms? Most likely incited or even implanted by Dr. Nefarious
• His unfamiliarity with magic? The R&C universe is almost entirely technological with little no mention of magic, EVER.
• Still having the same network port as the original Pollo model? Nefarious is known for being an inept villain, that's an EASY mistake for him to make.
• His aversion to damage from everything excluding BFGs? It's Ratchet & Clank, that part explains itself.

Once he was taken and upgraded by Lord Vyse, however, most of the connections to his home world were rectified. Maybe not by his own choice, but come on. The fact that Linkara made a point about how not all clowns are evil, though valid, would still rouse some suspicion. Just what kind of evil:

• Will he go crazy like The Joker?
• Or will he be a monster like IT.
• Or maybe a possessed clown like in Poltergiest.

This is not due to any personal preference or Fan Dumb reaction, but a major philosophical theme of the series. He's already made multiple references in his HOPR videos to "a later installment" whenever a Ranger team chooses to continue fighting even without their powers, such as in Season 3 of MMPR before Ninjor grants their new powers, or in Lightspeed Rescue when the team temporarily loses their morphers before fighting their cyborg replacements. Part of what makes the Power Rangers superheroes is that even without powers, it's their strength of character that make them worthy of wielding the power. Overdrive marks the first major instance of a Ranger team losing their powers and choosing NOT to continue the fight against evil (despite STILL possessing civilian powers!). We're likely going to see a montage of previous teams who are willing to fight on without ANY powers, leading to a major condemnation of the only team in the show's legacy to Give Up The Fight.

• and he will fight Snowflame, because that would be awesome.

• Linkara has previously teased that his secret origin will be for another time. Perhaps this is that time. After all, we still don't know the In-Universe explanation of how the magic gun came into his possession, or the rest of his weapons, for that matter.

• Because we'll learn the answer to "where'd he purchase that?"

• He just assumed that Linkara was because he uses a gun powered by the soul of a little girl and he was just trying to free her.
  • Perhaps he's a Hero Antagonist and is trying to prevent the Magic Gun from falling into the wrong hands. He gives me a St. Germain of Castlevania fame vibe with that pocketwatch, too...

• It has already been pointed out how the start of this arc concerning Linkara's ego and the gun turning off homaged "The Waters of Mars" (concerning the Doctor and the Time Lord Victorious). Considering how much of a Doctor Who fan Lewis is, this was most likely not accidental.

• And a very vast and expanding group at that. For the sake of this WMG, let's call them "The Guardians." The Guardians are a huge group of thousands, if not millions(or way, WAY more) teams across The Multiverse, recruiting various individuals in alternate versions of "works of fiction", eg Power Rangers, Doctor Who, ect. Their job is to sort out multiversal threats and reality-distorting items, in order to protect reality. Linkara may have actually gotten all his wonderful toys from their agents, directly or indirectly, and the Guardians want to deal with this.

• All magic in the world has gone! Gunslinger is the inter-dimensional time traveller (hence the pocket-watch, that seems to be his source of power), who travelled back in time to destroy all the magic.
  • Alternatively, magic could've been destroyed by the some enemy of the Gunslinger, who tried to stop him and destroy all the magic guns in existence.

A Silent Hill resident, or another past victim of the town, hence his knowledge of the way magic guns are made, and possibly even some valuable knowledge in other subjects.

• By one of two methods:
  • Snowflame will use some cocaine metaphor about power to try and get Linkara to use cocaine. Linkara will instead realize he'd getting a bit power addicted and snap out of it.
  • Snowflame will randomly spout good lessons learned form PSA comics and my My Little Pony, making Linkara realize that something can have An Aesop without sucking, and helping him be less cynical.

• She heard Linkara's arrogant rant and wants to save him from himself.
