History Headscratchers / AtopTheFourthWall

* Lord Vyce's obsession with the entity is a danger to Linkara and the entire universe, so why not trick Vyce into thinking he has won? What would happen if you create a fake entity, and program it to "die" in the hands of Lord Vyce? Would Vyce go away after finally completing his long mission? Think of Moby Dick and Captain Ahab. Let's say you impersonated Moby Dick (somehow), and have him "die" in the hands of Ahab, would the captain stop being crazy and go back to his normal life?

*** I think the better question is: Was Liz barefoot? :P

* So in Linkara's [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/at4w/29265-justice-league-cry-for-justice-1-2 Cry For Justice]] video he makes a point at the begining about how/way the cover could be used as a joke for "Gay for Justice". Whut. Sorry, but honestly... What's the joke. Was there a joke? Did I miss it? Help? Please... P_P

*** OH!!! I get it now! I was looking at the part where it actually said "Justice League". Fail. >_<

* Lord Vyce's obsession with the entity is a danger to Linkara and the entire universe, so why not trick Vyce into thinking he has won? What I mean is, have the fake entity "die for good" after being hit by Vyce. Would Vyce go away after "winning" the battle? Think of Moby Dick and Captain Ahab.

If Linkara can impersonate the enitity, why not fake its death by letting Vyce destroy it?

** Lewis went in depth in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkgwTTejng8 description for his Fantastic Four #1 review]] on Youtube. Essentially, Linkara was correct that Mechakara had absorbed enough magic from the Magic Coin to allow him to temporarily transcend his physical form, he just wrong about Mechakara taking over Pollo's new body.

* Ok, I got to ask now since it hasn't been explained yet. So....how did Mechakara come back from being destroyed by Neutro? He didn't survive in Pollo's new body, cause that was Vyce. But for him coming back in Too Boldly Flee, there isn't really a good explanation.

* We know Linkara is aware of TvTropes, but does he ever edit his own page?

** It also probably qualifies for GrandfatherClause. JackKirby created the ComicBook/NewGods back in TheSeventies, when this sort of thing wasn't common. In TheNineties, it became a fad and seemingly every new "[[DorkAge hero]]" had a name like this. I'm surprised Nineties Kid doesn't spell Bloodgun as "Blüd-Gûnn", though I probably shouldn't give him any ideas.

** [[WatsonianVersusDoylist That's not what the series is about.]] The expectation that every work has to contain some kind of romance is actually a trope -- TokenRomance.

* In the case of tech and magic taken from shows, etc. I amuse myself by assuming that copyright laws prevent it. Still doesn't explain not sharing the other stuff. Maybe Linkara's crossover(lord?) arsenal hints that he has [[GeniusTheTransgression Genius]]-like powers? If so, perhaps his stuff wouldn't work for others?

* Is the Linkara character asexual? Of all the years of watching the show, he has never shown any attraction to someone. We don't even see him fall in love. Sure Liz and Viga made appearances in the show, but they were like platonic friends.

* Also in the movie, why on earth was Alan okay with taking a group of completely inexperienced and unqualified civilians on an important government mission? They were racing against time to save missing astronauts, not going out for pizza. Alan was there when the guest stars were begging to go, so he must have known they weren't the ship's normal crew.

** The Channel Awesome universe doesn't really have any traditional superheroes. Guys like Linkara are the closest thing to them they can find. Plus with a few like Mechakara, ItsPersonal

** Vyce knows more than anyone about fighting {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, and after the whole possession thing, 90s Kid has more reason than most to fear them. Probably there's another enemy out there that 90s Kid is willing to do an EnemyMine against.

*** Fan-theory: In this universe movies like TheTerminator were a box-office flop and as such there wasn't serious effort into AI ethics.

* If Mechakara is an AU!Pollo, how was he able to kill his Linkara, much less wear his flesh ala TheTerminator? Pollo doesn't have any arms, legs or anything sharp. And even if he succeeded, he shouldn't be able to disguise himself, since he's a head-shaped box robot instead of a sleek metal endoskeleton [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} or the world's sexiest killing machine.]]

** When he said the alchemy machine could pay for itself, he didn't mean using it to make more gold, he meant using it make almost anything into anything else. (i.e. turning nuclear waste into rechargeable batteries, [[CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers that way, you wouldn't need to shoot the nuclear waste into space.]])

** [[ReedRichardIsUseless There's a trope for this, you know.]] Lewis is GenreSavvy enough to know that there's a time and a place to avert it, and a once-a-week internet review show probably isn't it.

** Would have been a good opportunity for some WhiteandGrayMorality if Linkara could uphold his ideals and apply it to the comics industry only to see mass criticism from those who [[ViewersAreMorons actually ''liked'']] the sorts of bad comics Linkara took so much exception to and/or [[AcclaimedFlop massive declines in comic sales]] that threaten to make those characters he was trying to save, completely irreverent.

****** I'm not so sure about Millar (unless you mean FrankMiller, in which case Linkara knows what he's talking about there) but Ennis usually kills a character for a reason, or because it's funny, not for pure shock value for no reason. Lian's death added nothing to the story and that's probably one of the things that made him so mad. Also remember; Character=/=writer.

*** Exactly. Linkara has no problem letting others swear on his show, and has had them doing so plenty of times. He also regularly has TheCinemaSnob cameo in his show, and regularly cameos as Jessie Ventura on DiamandaHagan's, and they review porn.

*** And one of the only [[DiamandaHagan actual supervillians]] they have is Linkara's friend and works for Channel Awesome.

* Is there an explanation for 90s Kid being friendly with Vyce? Is he under mind control?
