* Re: his ''Dark Knight Strikes Again'' review, he criticizes WonderWoman saying "I'm pregnant again" directly after having sex with Franchise/{{Superman}}, saying "How does she know?" But it's possible that she was already pregnant from a previous, er, encounter with Supes and just chose an odd time to let him know. Course, it could've just been Creator/FrankMiller being himself...

*** The problem is Frank goes well out of his way to tell us it's "a ''man''" and a man alone (not her personal experiences in Gotham, not any specific horror stories of the town, just "a man") that's motivated her to become a crazed vigilante. It's compounded by her lack of baring on any of the plot. All she does is beat a bar full of patrons senseless six months before any of the story takes place and then bangs Batman after he saves her from thugs. Essentially, her entire character is to show that Batman is a sex god that can make hot Irish ninja chicks all sweaty for him by just existing in the same universe as him. Add in the other females of this book like StrawFeminist WonderWoman and MsFanService Vicki Vale and it's not really surprising Linkara is calling sexist on this book.
*** Her lack of relevance to the plot, StrawFeminist WonderWoman, and MsFanService Vicki Vale are completely and entirely irrelevant (and StrawFeminist WonderWoman isn't even an example of sexism anyway). In the Elseworlds story Frank Miller was hired to write, he decided to change Black Canary's backstory so that she was inspired by a particular male superhero to become a hero herself. ''This is not remotely sexist.'' [[DoubleStandard If the roles were reversed and a male character had been inspired by a female superhero, nobody would have called it sexist.]] You have to do some serious mental gymnastics to conclude that it's automatically sexist for a woman to be inspired to do something by a man's example. I'm not saying ASBAR was perfect, or even good. But if you want to complain about it, make sure your complaints are actually based on fact and logic, not an irrational hatred of Frank Miller and/or irrational attitude about sexism in comics.

On top of all that, he’s a spiteful, rage filled dick that’s canonically the evil version.

not a question about the work itself


* OK, this isn't to be mean spirited or anything, but I really don't understand how Linkara is some sort of sex symbol. I mean, the guy is pretty... ordinary. He's very plain looking, has kind of a reedy voice and - not trying to be rude or ''anything'' like that - he's a bit overweight. I really, really don't understand it. And I don't see ''at all'' how the guy is apparently so desirable that he fills entry after entry over on the Fetish Fuel Wiki. It's just ''strange''.
** Well, I think that's the entire idea. ''Fetish'' fuel. From a mainstream perspective, he's a little bit pudgy, a little bit nasal, and overall, nothing terribly special. But he hits a lot of niche fetishes. He's really sensitive. He's a great feminist. He's a very respectable singer. And probably most importantly, he's a self-confessed nerd and incredibly unashamed of it. A lot of girls go crazy for those sorts of things.
*** Agreed with the above troper. Being fetish fuel, it's a matter of personal taste. As a matter of fact, most of the reviewers from Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses ''aren't'' traditionally attractive, with the possible exception of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic but many of them have entries on the fetish fuel wiki all the same.

the page this link points to is not about that kind of ending


* Okay, this is going into spoiler territory here, but in the WebVideo/SuburbanKnights DVD, there's an AlternateEnding which, essentially, was Mechakara finding Malachite's hand. Not that I'm not totally hyped by this and all, but it certainly raises a lot of questions. 1. When and how did Mechakara come BackFromTheDead? I mean, he was a disembodied metal hand that only twitched a little last we saw him. 2. How did he even know about Malachite's Hand? It's not as though he was present for the events of Suburban Knights. Yet clearly he knew something, or he wouldn't be [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally.]] 3. How did he ''find'' it? Taking away the fact that he was, you know, dead, he was in Minnesota! On Linkara's shelf! How did he get to Chicago? If the Hand was even in Chicago, since it disappeared from where the gang were when Malachite did, which raises the question of just where the hell were they anyway. 4. Why has he not done anything yet? I mean, from Lewis' perspective it makes sense, as Linkara's character has had enough problems with the Entity and all that. But from a story perspective... Mechakara essentially just gained ultimate power. He could make all our heads explode just by snapping his fingers, and it's not like there's any moral values of his stopping him. And this was months ago by now! Did the Entity get in his way or something? I guess that'd make sense, but it was never really explained, and since he never knew about the Entity, I don't see why he wouldn't at least ''try'' to destroy the world and Linkara and everything. Again, I did find TheStinger really cool, and it's possible some of this stuff could get explained somehow in the future, but right now, it's just confusing as hell to me.

* On the topic of [=ASBAR=], is there any reason he didn't give Black Canary a nickname in the same vein as Crazy Steve or Bonkers Betty? She's explicitly ''not'' the version we're familiar with, so why not just call her Irish Ninja or something (like the Youtube comments were)?

more of a complaint than a question.


* I'm just gonna come out and say it: The cursing thing. Or rather, the anti-cursing thing. It's great that he wants to keep things a bit more civil for his viewers, but you can't tell me it isn't a little jarring, especially when compared to the rather adult vocabularies of his contemporaries. And while it is nice that he can express himself without resorting to curse words, his self-censorship can come off as a little... overzealous. Like when he bowdlerizes his narration of comics that have curses in the dialog, like in the Silent Hill reviews.
** I think it's cute.
** I believe he once said that he doesn't think he can swear as "gracefully" or "creatively" as other reviewers can.
** It says a lot about the coarsening of modern culture that ''not'' swearing like a sailor would bother someone more than the opposite.
*** I see where you're coming from, but in this day and age, when cursing is more acceptable (and even expected by some) in private situations and settings, I agree that it makes Linkara seem a little maladjusted.
*** Um, yeah, that's exactly the point. There's nothing "maladjusted" about someone who doesn't like to swear all the time. The fact that Linkara's non-swearing would bug people in the first place says a lot more about modern culture than about him.
** Funk and Wagnall'(s) is funny, dammit. Linkara turned [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_%26_Wagnalls a dictionary brand]] into an UnusualEuphemism.
** His review of the old Film/TheFantasticFour movie with Sage made it hilarious. I never really cared and I believe he explained at some point that he wants to show you can be a good reviewer without cursing like a sailor.
** I agree slightly. Although it's not that bad when he avoids it, when he really gets angry and replaces a word with a lighter version, it makes him sound a bit...silly. I think it would be better if he found different words entirely to express his hate.
** I don't really care, but my dad actually only watches him because he doesn't curse (he thinks the other critics are nerds who are trying to look cool by cursing a lot)
** [[@/{{Deuxhero}} I]] find that a lot of the cursing makes his actual criticism more apparent. The rest of the internet critics seem to use it as... filler (the best I can think of).
** To be honest, his lack of swearing is actually one of the things I like about him. After all, it seems as though a lot of [[CausticCritic caustic critics]] (as well as people who overuse curse words in general) use [[ClusterFBomb Cluster F Bombs]] so often the word seems to lose its "shock value" anyway, so when Linkara swears, it has a much greater impact. Besides, his [[UnusualEuphemism unusual euphemisms]] are more humorous, but YMMV on that.
*** Seconded. He's my favorite of the TGWTG team, and part of it is due to his cleaner language.
** He does use minor swears occasionally. I think it's a combo of personal preference and the fact that if you want long, profane tirades, you already have AVGN, NC and Spoony, so what's the point?
** I don't know how to feel about this one. I like that he doesn't drop the F-bomb at complete random (I've gotta agree with that one troper's dad... some of the critic kiddies DO seem like nerds trying to be h4rd0r3)... but some of his replacement words just don't... work. Just bleep it or exclude it altogether.
** Linkara may not curse, but it may make you feel better to know that Lewis himself does. You can hear him swearing occasionally in behind the scenes videos.
*** It's hilarious to see it in his guest appearances on ''WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou'', especially if you watch the chat's mind being blown every time.
** I find that Linkara is a truly funny comedian because he can pull off making me laugh without having to resort to random swearing, which all-too many comedians have to fall back on because, get this, they aren't funny.
** Linkara had this to say about the issue in his Top 15 Screw-Ups of [=AT4W=] video:
-->Okay, first of all, I swear all the time. When did "hell," "damn," and "ass" stop being swear words? No, of course, people are referring to the fact that I don't say the more colorful four-letter words, even when they appear in the comics. It's not because I'm a prude or anything. Outside of these videos, I, in fact, use those words plenty. Heck, you can see me saying the F-word in the bloopers for the Alone in the Dark review on the That Guy with the Glasses DVD. Plus, I mouthed it way back in my Batman #147 review, plus I had an entire video called the Top 15 WTF Moments. No, the reason why I don't use those words started out primarily because of habit, and later because I wanted to prove I can be funny without having to resort to it; and before anyone suggests otherwise, that doesn't mean I think my fellow video reviewers are lesser for using them. Many are downright skillful in their swearing, able to cobble together curses that I could never hope to match; but for me, it doesn't work for this show. Now, as for why I don't swear when the comics themselves swear, really, there have only been like 2 or 3 comics that have actually done so, and I'm pretty sure it was the Silent Hill comics; and does anyone out there believe for a second that those comics were made better by them swearing? Bottom line: yeah, I could say those words, but does saying them actually make my videos better? Really?
** Writing his own stuff without swears is fine. Reading the dialogue but just stumbling over the swears the way he did in the Silent Hill reviews comes across really badly.
** The Silent Hill comics themselves come across really badly. As Linkara noted himself: would reading out Christabella's f-bombs ''really'' add anything?
** Sure, he could have skipped the f-bombs and it would have been fine. The problem is that the self-censorship he did do was very half-assed. An immature "I can't read ''that''" manner might be better than immature f-bombs all over the place. It's still not mature.
** Half-assed? It was a bleep. Perhaps two of them, in total. It worked fine. Again, as has been stated above, choosing not to swear is not "immature".
** Personally, this troper enjoys that Linkara avoids using the more powerful swears except for precise, powerful [[PrecisionFStrike surgical strikes of the F-Bomb]]. Like when he utilized it, IIRC, once or twice in his short review of ComicBook/OneMoreDay and Countdown.
** He actually does swear, even using the PG-13 "goddamn," just not nearly as frequently or intensely as other TWGTG members, still sprinkling the PG-rated "ass," "shit," "bitch," and "bastard" liberally in his reviews. By today's standards that might be pretty clean-cut, [[ValuesDissonance but even as recent as 40 years ago, would have been seen as incredibly family unfriendly]]. Remember, that was a time when being edgy meant a [[PrecisionFStrike few uses of damn or hell outside of religious context]].
*** He couldn't even get away with that if he were a radio DJ. We're not allowed to use "goddamn," and Linkara loves "goddamn," second only to maybe Frank Miller.
* I never even noticed him not swearing. Does it really matter?
** I didn't notice it either. Some people just don't curse all that much. Is that really so weird?

* Why does Linkara hate Crazy Steve so much? Crazy Steve's pretty badass. I mean, yea, there's the whole, possibly agent of nambla thing, but that's only implied. What's obvious is that Crazy Steve is A) [[CrazyAwesome insane]], and B), [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass kicked Batman's ass and stole all his stuff]].
** Well he DID kind of grope his dead mom. I can't imagine being too fond of a guy like that. Also the murdering. That can't help.
** He just does? Morally he's scum so maybe Linkara just can't get past that. Or maybe i'ts just shock over how this is supposed to be Batman. It'ggs obvious Batman has a nostalgia factor for Linkara, and from what I've seen he seems (from what I can tell) to lean a bit more towards Bats than Superman so maybe Batman's his favorite superhero in DC. If you take that idea, and add in the nostalgia, seeing this guy would make you quite mad.
** Maybe it's because 'Crazy Steve' casually kills police officers[[note]] albeit corrupt ones[[/note]], hits children, leaves these children on their own in dank caves with the intent of making them eat raw rats, threatens the closest thing he has to a father figure for giving the child food and calls himself the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking 'Goddamn Batman']].

I'm all for feminism, and I know that there is some horrible, objectifying stuff in comics, but it feels like he's going overboard on the stuff so far, like with the Terminator VS Robocop or with the Frank Miller thing about.

-->Okay, first of all, I swear all the time. When did "hell", "damn", and "ass" stop being swear words? No, of course, people are referring to the fact that I don't say the more colorful four-letter words, even when they appear in the comics. It's not because I'm a prude or anything. Outside of these videos, I, in fact, use those words plenty. Heck, you can see me saying the F-word in the bloopers for the Alone in the Dark review on the That Guy with the Glasses DVD. Plus, I mouthed it way back in my Batman #147 review, plus I had an entire video called the Top 15 WTF Moments. No, the reason why I don't use those words started out primarily because of habit, and later because I wanted to prove I can be funny without having to resort to it; and before anyone suggests otherwise, that doesn't mean I think my fellow video reviewers are lesser for using them. Many are downright skillful in their swearing, able to cobble together curses that I could never hope to match; but for me, it doesn't work for this show. Now, as for why I don't swear when the comics themselves swear, really, there have only been like 2 or 3 comics that have actually done so, and I'm pretty sure it was the Silent Hill comics; and does anyone out there believe for a second that those comics were made better by them swearing? Bottom line: yeah, I could say those words, but does saying them actually make my videos better? Really?

** There's also the point that - unlike toys like Air Raiders, wrestlers like the Ultimate Warrior, or singers like Nightcat - there's no gimmick or plot thread to the Kool-Aid Man that justifies making a comic out of him. You literally have to take huge amounts of creative liberties and build up the storyline, antagonists, and conflict from scratch to make a comic about him work. To wit, you could make a comic based on the Trix Rabbit or Lucky, because their commercials tells a story of them in conflict with the kids over their cereal. Even the Keebler Elves could have a comic made about them, considering the latest commercials have them dealing with disasters with their cookie-making machines that they need to fix. But the Kool-Aid man doesn't even have ''that''; all he does is burst through the wall to give thirsty kids his drink, and even now, he doesn't even do ''that'', the kids having ''all the Kool-Aid they want at his endless pool parties''.

I don't say that a robot CANT recoil if he gets hit by something strong like being punched really hard, that is ok, but recoil because he was programed (or in this case DECIDED ITSELF) that feeling pain to make him recognize the treat at hand its as useless as programing a mob to have a status effect for himself to take longer to recover from a hit in a video game for a gamer to abuse this to make him stunlock.

*** Yes i know that he wanted to make him suffer, didn't you read it? i said that if he wanted to make him suffer and WIN he should make the scenario failure proof long before engaging him. Let me put it in this way: You have a bird that you hate and you capture it and place it in a cage. From there you can scream at it, toss the cage around, open the bird cage and break his wings, etc. The bird will probably attack your hand but in the end if the little door is occupied by your hand it wont escape (unless you broke his beak too) It will still be trapped anyway and you will play with it until you are done. Its a Win-Win situation but Mech didn't do it because.....................because. Remember when Mechakara killed the resurrected spoony and made him Black Lantern Spoony (again)? that scene took like 6 or 7 seconds. Spoony leaves the room where linkara and he were reviewing some games, gets punched in the face, he tries to recognize the attacker from the ground and gets his neck broken with one hand. Why he didn't kill the others?? that makes people suffer you know? especially someone with friends like linkara, but Mech who has been around long enough with the other Linkara of the alternate dimension seems to have forgotten that and got his ass handed by even this universe Pollo. The only reason of why all this happened is because Linkara already tough of the other villains inspired by series or games he saw in his youth and if he made Mechakara any stronger there wont be any series or spotlight for the others

From there you can scream at it, toss the cage around, open the bird cage and break his wings, etc. The bird will probably attack your hand but in the end if the little door is occupied by your hand it wont escape (unless you broke his beak too) It will still be trapped anyway and you will play with it until you are done. Its a Win-Win situation but Mech didn't do it because.....................because. Remember when Mechakara killed the resurrected spoony and made him Black Lantern Spoony (again)? that scene took like 6 or 7 seconds. Spoony leaves the room where linkara and he were reviewing some games, gets punched in the face, he tries to recognize the attacker from the ground and gets his neck broken with one hand. Why he didn't kill the others?? that makes people suffer you know? especially someone with friends like linkara, but Mech who has been around long enough with the other Linkara of the alternate dimension seems to have forgotten that and got his ass handed by even this universe Pollo. The only reason of why all this happened is because Linkara already tough of the other villains inspired by series or games he saw in his youth and if he made Mechakara any stronger there wont be any series or spotlight for the others



** you mean like the time that Linkara was alone in the Silent Hill review and the Entity DIDN'T eat him because...........because? or maybe Pollo isn't a person in the eyes of LINKARA??

* Did anybody else think that Linkara's reaction toward [[spoiler: Lian Harper's death]] was... really... really silly? And hilarious as a result? I mean, I laughed.
** no, I think you're the only one
*** I doubt that.
** Say what you mean. Why would it be silly? Or funny? Give us details and defend your claim, or else it seems like you're trolling.
*** Fair enough! Alright. Well, to watch the thing, the guy seems genuinely and completely upset over a little girl dying. But the way he rants, the way his voice goes... it really makes it hard to take seriously. I have no problem with Linkara, just his voice? Little high pitched? Slight lisp? If he gets angry or incredulous, it seems funny. Ridiculous, even. Not sad, not "righteous" or anything like that. Just silly. And what he was actually ''saying''? People use shock tactics and distasteful stunts like that fairly often. It's not a sign of good writing - it's quite bad writing in context, actually - but for him to get ''that'' offended over something that's hardly uncommon just further catapulted it into absurdity.
*** just because it's hardly uncommon doesn't mean you can't get upset over [[spoiler: the shock death of a child. ]]
*** No, I said the way in which he did it was Narmy, not the cause of the reaction. What he said and how he said it.
*** "but for him to get ''that'' offended over something that's hardly uncommon just further catapulted it into absurdity." Right there, you said he shouldn't be so worried about it because it happens a lot
*** No offense there, but you really oughta read what I said instead of taking one bit out of context. I said ''that'' offended, the "way in which he was offended" still covers what I said.
*** I think a certain anonymous poster said it best, "I hope DC brings Lian back and kills her off again. Just to piss him off more." Seriously, he got way too strung out over the death of a fictional character.
*** Yeah, I can agree with the sentiment. Linkara seems like a nice enough guy, but Jesus. If he thinks that's bad, he should try reading Millar or Ennis.
*** I'm not so sure about Millar (unless you mean Creator/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.
*** Oh no, Lewis was legitimately ticked by this. And he lists the reasons in his blog, but essentially, it boils down to the fact that it was a senseless, tasteless act that stripped away a great character from one of his favorite teams. And oh, he has read Ennis. He doesn't like him.

* Oh god, where do I begin with the AT4W: Spider-Man: Planet of the Symbiotes ending? Aside from the fact that I already talked about of some questionable actions that involves NOT killing Linkara made by the Entity, I at least could pretend that he is a Eldrich Abomination and run with it because he doesn't think in a human way of reasoning. But now that he is revealed to be Missingno pretending to be 90's Kid in disguise its break the atmosphere that he was just a creature that seemed to be mindless and unpredictable and open up more problems. Why did he drop the act when Linkara figured it was him? Linkara reasoned that 90's kid would never say something like a Nirvana reunion that involves digging up Kurt Cobain's body and having zombie chicks play him like a puppet and from there its goes on.................ehm, Link. Did you spend the rest of the 90's playing Pokemon too munch that you forgot how fucked up the 90's were? That is something HE IS ABSOLUTELY LIKELY TO SAY. And even if that IS correct, he could try to the very end to be 90's Kid and get shot at and then play dead. This way Linkara would look like an idiot and possibly in a very depressed state and confusion seeing his only friend dead by his own hand and now alone in the world with doubts about his own reasoning skills, you know, the thing that The Entity was going for to begin with???? That would have been magnificently executed in part of The Entity but no. And before you said that 90's Kid has standards like when Superboy Prime killed a pregnant woman and didn't like it, i remind you that in that case makes sense for him be horrified for a chick to get vaporized after all he is supposed to be a selfish little shit from the 90's that only cares about himself and like any kid from that age he would never let a chick that he could bang and pretend to be cool to die and it makes sense as well that he could wish for a Undead Nirvana reunion for him because it's a KID!!! Kids are selfish, they don't know any better and could have been great seeing linkara reach that conclusion after he shot him and realize that he took it too far and killed and innocent (an innocent moron but still an innocent) only to be part of the The entity plan to destroy him and making suffer even more
** [[SarcasmMode Yes, because Linkara obviously doesn't know the character HE MADE as well as some fan who's just looking for things to complain about during a big reveal. No, no. Linkara was totally wrong about what 90's Kid would and wouldn't say. Right...]]
** Also, where did you get "90's Kid wants to bone the pregnant chick" from?
*** And that he's a "selfish little shit"?
*** Plus the fact that no, 90s kid isn't that screwed up to say they should dig up a man.
*** To the sarcasm guy, does the rule "Show, don't tell" ring a bell to you? Or the trope "Death Of The Author"??? HE MAY KNOW the character you say, and that is true, he knows him well...............but did he showed enough evidence of this character to the audience to demonstrate that he is enough sane to NEVER say something like he did? to me is a kid from the 90's (played by a much older person but if the body of the actor playing actually is part of the character he would have been called "90's Dude" or "The Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude from the 90's"). The "Selfish little shit" thing is because it's a kid........from the 90's. two of the worst trait in the existence of anything combined and you think that ISN'T enough??? Weren't you a kid or at least close to kids in your youth? i remember perfectly that they could say as munch "Fuck" as possible to sound cool and talk all the day about how they make out with some girl and how "real" those boobies they saw in a horror movie and how "The Bride of Chucky" is a SERIOUS movie and bragging of how easy it was to steal all the Coca Cola from the school storage, you know, selfish little shits........from the 90's, the kind of people that are the victims of a slasher film or the audience for a Michael Bay movie. And besides how does it make sense that he loves comics about people being violently beaten up and mooks getting killed like any Rob Liefeld 90's comic ever but gets horrified at a pregnant woman getting killed, how does that work? Assuming that most of the mooks are males then they are so expendable that isn't horrifying to see one die?? Or its because when he reads or do something its because he wants to be entertained regardless of who is getting shoot???? Of course it is, he wants to be entertained and doesn't care for anyone else nor thinking the implications like the mooks were forced to work for the evil villain and such, so why would come as a surprise that he still wants to be entertained this time by desecrating a corpse and having it play a music concert for him????? Now I could say that I could have missed something in aaaaaaaaall the series so could have told me about a scene that proves that 90's kid is or has munch more deep personality than being an insensitive moron and I could accept that but you instead tried to be pretentious sarcastic fanboy and didn't tell me anything. Enlighten me of a scene that SHOWS it because I still assume that he forgot something along the way and simply tough that he already showed it to us in a recent (maybe) review. Also i love how many of you didn't try argue about The Entity making the mistake of dropping the act because apparently defending 90's kid with a simple "NO he isn't" is more important that arguing about the Entity holding the Villain Ball
*** Enjoying reading about something and actually doing something is two different things. I read about guys cheating on their girlfriend, but I don't go and do it. And I wasn't being a "pretentious fanboy". You were proven wrong, accept it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go watch AT4W and have fun, while you simply hurl insults to fictional characters and fail to use the shift key or punctuation marks.
*** Alternately: 90s Kid wouldn't say it not because it was disgusting, but he is a big enough fan to know the guy was cremated instead.
*** Still waiting for the answer and you still are acting like a you control the conversation but you are just evading the question. Unlike you however I did research if there was an answer in a possible resent cameo in other videos and I found the 90's kid cameo over Oanciticen video where Kyle said that "Nirvana is responsible for Nickelback to exist" and seeing him disturbed by it seems like a pretty good indication that he actually respect Nirvana enough to don't have their image tainted by another band. See? That it's actually a good character moment for the kid hinting a good natured person that actually cares..................except that it was a cameo, does that mean that plot relevant moments are scattered around other videos? Link, what did you said in the Amazons Attack + Countdown + Ultimates about having key elements to the plot scattered around other comics instead of having them IN the comic that started the plot? These are like when the people complained about Iron Liz not being properly presented to the fans when he appeared out of nowhere in the Vyce saga (not the complains about why she is his girlfriend, those are stupid) Now if you excuse me, I will wait for someone who actually CARES about this development of events and all the possible outcomes that this could have been executed. You may go now
*** Gladly.
*** At the risk of getting my head bitten off: We didn't need that bit. Yes, it's nice to have, but it wasn't necessary. Back with the "Superboy-Prime-Vaporizes-a-Pregnant-Woman" incident, we saw that, though 90's Kid is pretty messed up, he has standards and isn't a complete psychopath. And as for the Kurt Cobain bit, Linkara is usually just annoyed by him, so when what he said horrified Linkara, it isn't that hard to guess that it wasn't just 90's Kid being 90's Kid. And jeez, you're acting like the OutOfCharacterAlert piece was Linkara's only evidence. I think you need to calm down.
*** You may be right, but it "felt" that the driving force behind it was that thing he said back then and remembered now that is why i cant take off my head that for a moment Linkara might have been too overconfident and rushing too fast into conclusions that might have shoot an innocent by accident and sending him to a worse mental state and even making even worse decisions in despair like going for Vyce for help and could have been great, after all he was kind of a jerk that doesn't want to help the world with the tech he got or even sell that stuff to have money to even buy Marvel comics and kick Joe Quesada ass out to stop ruining anything else. But again, even if he was correct, how do you think that the Entity should have reacted to being cornered? and what is exactly the 90's kid he is using? he killed the original and made a copy? He is possessing 90's kid?? he killed him and using his skin as a cloth? i was under the impression that he doesn't have a form of his own and needs to use other but then Link said that all the other glitches are also forms of Missingno, so he HAS forms but aren't obviously human looking so 90's kid wasnt replaced, it was possessed............And that is terrible
*** All right, I guess I can understand your frustration with that. As for Missingno., I have no idea if my interpretation of the events is right, but I think it ate 90's Kid and pulled a Ditto, and while Missingno. here represents all glitch Pokemon, it represents them as Missingno., which has no form to call its own. And so what if the plot didn't play out how you would have written it? Linkara's not you. He wrote it the way he liked best, and it just happened to not go the route you would've picked. It's just an internet review show, it's no big deal.

* The HandWave about why Empiria doesn't attack Linkara directly doesn't make any sense. It's obvious that this storyline is a take on the whole Hunger Games/Running Man/Smash TV/Mojovision/Battle Nexus (from the 2003 Ninja Turtles show) thing. So, the whole fight is broadcast live to a captive audience...who would be watching Linkara sleeping while Jarris fruitlessly shoots at Empiria with his Magic Gun. After all, you can't send a camera to the Dream Realm. So, the mysterious beings organizing the Contest of Champions would WANT Empiria to attack Linkara directly rather than try that "break his spirit in his dreams" crap.

***Except not really. Most of the reviewers on the mission barely have "character", let alone "crazy sci-fi and supernatural stuff". Outside of Nostalgia Critic, the only reviewers who have "seen shit" in their own shows are Angry Video Game Nerd, Spoony and Phelous. Most other reviewers have no "experience" barring the Anniversary Movies. And considering most of them see their "experience" as just "skits" (keep in mind that we have no Watsonian explanation for why Phelous isn't immortal anymore, only that "he retired the skit"), it's doubtful wether they could put their "experience" to good use.

He should instead go to another universe where he can conquer easily and build reputation in the mayor number of universes he can to avoid that horror from spreading (assuming the Entity takes really long to jump to another universe to another) Linkaraverse will be eated, sure but in the long run more universes will be saved.............Assuming that the Entity will just sit there after finishing is last meal and die of hunger or being really bored with a long lifespawn because some Vyce fellow is supposed to be able to conquer anything he sees and cant risk it even if the alternative is doing nothing for eternity.

--->'''Linkara:''' And before anyone wants to call me on the "But Darkseid is spelled incorrectly too" thing with Creator/JackKirby, I would remind you that the ComicBook/NewGods are, well, ''gods'', and Kirby wanted a geniune good-versus-evil feel out of them. He didn't spell "Darkseid" like that simply to be "extreme" or "cool" or any other nineties cliché. I'd actually be more inclined to cut the new spellings some slack if they weren't done simply because spelling things normally "wouldn't have been hardcore enough."

I'd actually be more inclined to cut the new spellings some slack if they weren't done simply because spelling things normally "wouldn't have been hardcore enough."



*** The Huntress used to to do that, and an important part of Birds of Prey, a faviorite of his, is that she has to earn Oracle and Black Canary's trust and stop killing people. She's still violent but she attoned for all that murder. And as for prometheus while the Donna thing is a bit of a double standard, it wasn't because Ollie's a man, it's because Prometus, a guy with powered armor and the ablites of the worlds greatest minds and athletes, got killed by an arrow he could have easily avoided.

* Maybe I'm missing something, but why does he have such a problem accepting that Image Comics has a SharedUniverse? Okay, granted referencing Youngblood in every Image book gets incredibly annoying,it only seems to further the whole Shared Universe thing. Seriously, what the hell?

*** I think you're missing the point here. It is sexist because it's the Black Canary, a strong, female character in the main DC universe whose reasons for getting into superheodom were a lot more complex than "being inspired by a man." If it was a new character he wouldn't have called it sexist, but since it was a well-established character with Frank Miller's typical handling of female characters (*cough* whoreswhoreswhoreswhores) that pushed it into sexist territory. It'd be no different than Wonder Woman being inspired to become a superhero soley due to Superman's example; it'd be taken a strong female superhero and stripping them off their motivations and potraying them as following in a man's footsteps.

** Linkara self-identifies as a feminist and spells out the complexities of that position with welcome care. In spite of this, he also tends to come off as a bit of a prude adverse to discussing anything sexual in comics in terms other than condemnation. His positive example of fictional characters having a sexuality is a page showing Nightwing and Starfire sleeping in bed nude together. Such a mild example: is sleeping together nude the limit to what he thinks characters can do sexually on the page without it passing over into exploitation? Nor does he praise the image on the level of aesthetics, the way he so frequently does praise so many other things about comics art: is depicting the beauty of the human form not an objective comic book artists are allowed to have?

* I am the only one that finds weird that in the episode of "Silent Hill: Dead/Alive #5" at the end where Linkara finds the book about the girl that became a the magic gun to be responsible to bringing The Entity? I mean, at the very end where you can hear The Entity doing his noise like he was "summoned" or "escaped" or "lured to this world". Wasnt Vyce supposed to prevent it to come to this reality to begin with? and if so, WHY would he let mechakara to use this strategy of making Linkara insane to comit suicide if that involves making a link to this dimencion/Universe for The Entity to get here? He should have told mechakara or AT LEAST be fully aware of his operation because even if they succeded they will have to abandon this universe ASAP or fight The Entity
** While the book is definitely connected to the Entity somehow, saying that the book is what summoned it is inaccurate - the Entity was already there. You can first hear it after Linkara and Munro defeat the Vorsoth in the review for the "Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force" comic, before the events of the "Dead/Alive" storyline. At the end of the review, Vyce mentions that he sent the Vorsoth because he doesn't want to attack Linkara directly, because he doesn't want to alert the Entity to his presense just yet. The whole reason Vyce came to this universe in the first place was because he chased the Entity here. I think the reason the Entity made that sound after the Delorem was destroyed was the same reason it made that sound when the Vorsoth was destroyed - because both times, Vyce's plans had been foiled.
*** Ok, so the Entity was there before the Dead/alive review.........Then why did it take so long to find Vyce or Linkara? In fact, you said that the Entity was laughing because Vyce plans were foiled, so if it is aware of Vyce existence then why doesnt kill Vyce right away if he is the only one trying to stop him? Linkara was too busy doing reviews to know of the danger. You could say that Vyce who knows the Entity got technology to avoid being detected by it but it kinda fells weird that the Entity just stands there and laught for every time Vyce screws up (and if it was there all along why dont he just eat Linkara)

*** That is a contradiction, Vyce has a fate worse than death? say who? by the way Linkara build up Vyce and let him alive in a place he can RETURN to i did say that Vyce and Linkara will team up. After all Vyce is very alive and still knows more about the Entity than anyone (and probably more than the book that Vyce didnt even consider even to take a look after he let mechakara do his plan in the Silent hill review) and THAT makes him a treat that the Entity should kill ASAP along with the book. Also if this Entity has intelligence to do stuff for the evulz and even reach the logic to know what to "Remove" from the board rather than mindless destruction in its path as you said, then it makes the fact that he didnt even EAT linkara when he had the chance even less sense.

** Becuase to Lord Vyce, Linkara isn't worth the effort. According to a behind-the-scenes video, Linkara says that Will Wolfgram (the suit actor for Vyce) is actually a reasonably good stage fighter, and that he offered to do actual martial arts moves during the fight, but Linkara vetoed that because Lord Vyce is "so powerful that he wouldn't waste effort actually fighting Linkara". Also, given that Linkara is a Power Rangers fan, you can clearly see him taking inspiration from Lord Zedd: he mentions in one part of History of Power Rangers that Jason (or Tommy, I forget which) actually fought Lord Zedd hand to hand, but Zedd just casually brushed them aside, even mocking them for their constant "hiya"-ing.
*** More likely is that Linkara would say that Vyce didnt use guns because because of pride that doesnt let it recognize something as primitive as a gun as a CHOICE to deal with this CHOSEN ONE problem and somehow punching Piramid Head trough the heart with HIS FIST isn't barbaric or primitive at all

*** actually the robot can just be informed in a little screen in his eyes or a voice built in his system to be informed that the impact or the next one CAN be lethal for the system to function at 100% efficiency. I dont say that a robot CANT recoil if he gets hit by something strong like being punched really hard, that is ok, but recoil because he was programed (or in this case DECIDED ITSELF) that feeling pain to make him recognize the treat at hand its as useless as programing a mob to have a status effect for himself to take longer to recover from a hit in a video game for a gamer to abuse this to make him stunlock.

*** So in a world where the computer can calculate the trajectory of a missile so it can use another missile to intercept it to avoid major damage, why cant do the robots do the same to avoid proyectiles or at least know where that weapon that is pointed at them will shoot? Also it seems out of character for a cold and calculated villain to let himself at risk to begin with instead of opting for hiding behind the couch where linkara do his reviews and snap his neck or use teleport spam tech to stab him several times and run away? or how about go all or nothing and taking him with Linkara but making sure that if his body is destroyed at least have a backup body to be active once the main objetive is done after all he can be rebuild but the squishy human not. Or how about bringing more robots from his dimencion to use agains linkara or at least use THEM to rebuild him if he fails?
*** They can't rely on that working, and dodging all projectiles in the middle of a fight is more difficult than getting one stationary missle launcher to take out missiles. Not to mention they're being fired upon by people, who might change their aim at the last second to make their shots less predictable. Also, Mechakara not just killing Linkara was elaborated upon--Mechakara killed the Linkara of his universe too quickly last time, and wanted to watch this one suffer, mentally as well as physically. As for why no extra bodies or backup, we don't know if the robots had the technology to send so many people across demensions. Mechakara alone might've been the best they could do with what they had.
*** Not buying that excuse of not killing him. All that preparation and build up was for nothing because all Mechakara has to do is to ENSURE the victory over Linkara REGARDLESS if he breaks him down and makes him suffer or not. He had to make an environment where he can kill him when he gets bored or when something goes wrong. Kinda like walling up a house in the Sims, you make sure that he is at your mercy and the resources to chose whatever horrible destiny you want too (set the house on fire or make them swim in a pool until they die) Someone like Mechakara WOULDN'T risk doing something unless he made the conditions to ensure that he won already but if that doesn't seem possible to you then how about this? in the moment that Mechakara presented itself with Linkara he could have said that he can teleport anywhere on Earth in a instant and because its a robot he only needs to wait for Linkara to sleep or be distracted with a review and then stab him once, teleport away (Hit and Run tactics) and let him bleed to death or snap his neck. With that said he now has scared Linkara enough to be paranoid and he can spend time killing his friends, 90's Kid is almost always playing with the Sega Genesis so is attention is in the TV and wont be able to hear him, Harvey mostly is training with his voice and wont hear him coming too, Iron Liz wasnt present until munch later in the series so i wont count her but then again Mech could just ,you know, act like him to treat Liz like crap so she would leave him (unless robot duplicates are a common theme in HER videos then i dont think she would ever suspect). That is just an example but no, he has to do what he did in that video or the show would be over. Also "we don't know if the robots had the technology to send so many people across dimensions. Mechakara alone might've been the best they could do with what they had" The portal to the multiverse WASNT opened by them but by Dr Insano with the Warrior Comics ,so no, they dont have technology to send 1 or more people across dimensions but they still could send some1 better than Mechakara that ISNT programed to react with pain or emotions that interfered with the programming of (you know) get rid of the humans. They could have send a robot with a more simple programing like 1) Search for posible treats for future invasion 2) Exterminate them in the most stealthy and efficient way possible until reinforces arrive 3) repeat 1. Or you know, they could have send an atomic bomb from the other side to this one or a small bomb after all the portal was in that hotel room where all the alternate universe people (cameos) took place so you kill more than one enemy that way
*** "Not buying that?" Mechakara ''said'', '''''in the video''''', that he didn't just kill Linkara so he could make him suffer. His goal was only to retrieve the magic gun, getting to torment Linkara was just a bonus. It wouldn't benefit his cause at all. Could they have sent a better agent? Definately. But Mechakara, being [[spoiler:Pollo]], would know Linkara better than anyone and have an idea of where the gun might be, so that might be why they sent him.
*** Yes i know that he wanted to make him suffer, didnt you read it? i said that if he wanted to make him suffer and WIN he should make the escenario failure proof long before engaging him. Let me put it in this way: You have a bird that you hate and you capture it and place it in a cage. From there you can scream at it, toss the cage around, open the bird cage and break his wings, etc. The bird will probably attack your hand but in the end if the little door is occupied by your hand it wont escape (unless you broke his beak too) It will still be trapped anyway and you will play with it until you are done. Its a Win-Win situation but Mech didnt do it because.....................because. Remember when Mechakara killed the resurrected spoony and made him Black Lantern Spoony (again)? that scene took like 6 or 7 seconds. Spoony leaves the room where linkara and he were reviewing some games, gets punched in the face, he tries to recognize the attacker from the ground and gets his neck broken with one hand. Why he didnt kill the others?? that makes people suffer you know? especially someone with friends like linkara, but Mech who has been around long enough with the other Linkara of the alternate dimencion seems to have forgotten that and got his ass handed by even this universe Pollo. The only reason of why all this happened is because Linkara already tough of the other villains inspired by series or games he saw in his youth and if he made Mechakara any stronger there wont be any series or spotlight for the others

*** how about giving that information to the entire world ASAP so the Entity doesnt take more people and corner it and proceed to analize some more to know how to kill it? you could say that no one would believe him and may be true if only Linkara could just let his technology be accesible to the world (at least the ones that are needed to track supernatural and such)

** you mean like the time that Linkara was alone in the Silent Hill review and the Entity DIDNT eat him because...........because? or maybe Pollo isnt a person in the eyes of LINKARA??
*** Actually, that's easy to justify - The Entity wasn't active & abducting people at that time, and ''if it was'', Lord Vyce was targetting Linkara at that time. Attempting to abduct Linkara then would simply reveal the Entity's location to Vyce. Remember, Vyce's goal was to stop the Entity.

*** My guess is that (possibly subconsiously) he thought that since Pollo is a robot, and the Entity had only been making people disappear, that he'd be fine. I'm not saying that he [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman thinks of him as just a machine]], but thought he'd be fine because so far it had only taken human.

*** WHAT are you talking about? its fear of him or fear in general? because i am pretty sure that people as fear all the time but from their mundane lifes problems rather than being eaten by a unseen force if it works on fear in general then the whole planet would be empty a long time ago. Since when did the Entity care about who has the book? you said he doesnt as long some1 is shitting is pants but if they didnt then he DOES care about who has the book? why? is a book and he was in the Linkaraverse loooooooooong before that book even appeared and also its a book from a cult that may or may not made up the words because they want to ensure control over the ignorant even if they are ignorant themselves. Take a look a The Call of Cthulhu, the tribes, cults and etc had years worshipping him and pretending that they knew when it will be back but all it took was to a few of sailors to get to Ryleh and BAAM, instant Cthulhu that they had to ram a ship on his face to hold back. In other words the book is no guarantee and you know what i dont even care anymore.

* Oh god, where do i begin with the AT4W: Spider-Man: Planet of the Symbiotes ending? Aside from the fact that i already talked about of some questionable actions that involves NOT killing Linkara made by the Entity, i at least could pretend that he is a Eldrich Abomination and run with it because he doesnt think in a human way of reasoning. But now that he is revealed to be Missingno pretending to be 90's Kid in disguise its break the atmosphere that he was just a creature that seemed to be mindless and unpredictable and open up more problems. Why did he droped the act when Linkara figured it was him? Linkara reasoned that 90's kid would never say something like a Nirvana reunion that involves digging up Kurt Cobain's body and having zombie chicks play him like a puppet and from there its goes on.................ehm, Link. Did you spend the rest of the 90's playing pokemon too munch that you forgot how fucked up the 90's was? That is something HE IS ABSOLUTELY LIKELY TO SAY. And even if that IS correct, he could try to the very end to be 90's Kid and get shot at and then play dead. This way Linkara would look like an idiot and possibly in a very depressed state and confusion seeing his only friend dead by his own hand and now alone in the world with doubts about his own reasoning skills, you know, the thing that The Entity was going for to begin with???? That would have been magnificently executed in part of The Entity but no. And before you said that 90's Kid has standards like when Superboy Prime killed an pregnant woman and didn't like it, i remind you that in that case makes sense for him be horrified for a chick to get vaporized after all he is supposed to be a selfish little shit from the 90's that only cares about himself and like any kid from that age he would never let a chick that he could bang and pretend to be cool to die and it makes sense as well that he could wish for a Undead Nirvana reunion for him because its a KID!!! kids are selfish, they dont know any better and could have been great seeing linkara reach that conclusion after he shot him and realize that he took it too far and killed and innocent (a innocent moron but still an innocent) only to be part of the The entity plan to destroy him and making suffer even more

* Oh god, where do i I begin with the AT4W: Spider-Man: Planet of the Symbiotes ending? Aside from the fact that i I already talked about of some questionable actions that involves NOT killing Linkara made by the Entity, i I at least could pretend that he is a Eldrich Abomination and run with it because he doesnt doesn't think in a human way of reasoning. But now that he is revealed to be Missingno pretending to be 90's Kid in disguise its break the atmosphere that he was just a creature that seemed to be mindless and unpredictable and open up more problems. Why did he droped drop the act when Linkara figured it was him? Linkara reasoned that 90's kid would never say something like a Nirvana reunion that involves digging up Kurt Cobain's body and having zombie chicks play him like a puppet and from there its goes on.................ehm, Link. Did you spend the rest of the 90's playing pokemon Pokemon too munch that you forgot how fucked up the 90's was? were? That is something HE IS ABSOLUTELY LIKELY TO SAY. And even if that IS correct, he could try to the very end to be 90's Kid and get shot at and then play dead. This way Linkara would look like an idiot and possibly in a very depressed state and confusion seeing his only friend dead by his own hand and now alone in the world with doubts about his own reasoning skills, you know, the thing that The Entity was going for to begin with????

*** To the sarcasm guy, does the rule "Show, dont tell" ring a bell to you? Or the trope "Death Of The Author"??? HE MAY KNOW the character you say, and that is true, he knows him well...............but did he showed enough evidence of this character to the audience to demonstrate that he is enough sane to NEVER say something like he did? to me is a kid from the 90's (played by a much older person but if the body of the actor playing actually is part of the character he would have been called "90's Dude" or "The Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude from the 90's"). The "Selfish little shit" thing is because its a kid........from the 90's. two of the worst trait in the existence of anything combined and you think that ISNT enough??? werent you a kid or at least close to kids in your youth? i remember perfectly that they could say as munch "Fuck" as possible to sound cool and talk all the day about how they make out with some girl and how "real" those boobies they saw in a horror movie and how "The Bride of Chucky" is a SERIOUS movie and bragging of how easy it was to steal all the Coca Cola from the school storage, you know, selfish little shits........from the 90's, the kind of people that are the victims of a slasher film or the audience for a Michael Bay movie. And besides how does it make sense that he loves comics about people being violently beaten up and mooks getting killed like any Rob Liefield 90's comic ever but gets horrified at a pregnant woman getting killed, how does that work? Assuming that most of the mooks are males then they are so expendable that isnt horrifying to see one die?? or its because when he reads or do something its because he wants to be entertained regardless of who is getting shoot???? Of course it is, he wants to be entertained and doesnt care for anyone else nor thinking the implications like the mooks were forced to work for the evil villain and such, so why would come as a surprice that he still wants to be entertained this time by desecrating a corpse and having it play a music concert for him????? Now i could say that i could have missed something in aaaaaaaaall the series so could have told me about a scene that proves that 90's kid is or has munch more deep personality than being a insensitive moron and i could accept that but you instead tried to be pretentious sarcastic fanboy and didnt tell me anything. Enlighten me of a scene that SHOWS it because i still assume that he forgot something along the way and simply tough that he already showed it to us in a recent (maybe) review. Also i love how many of you didnt try argue about The Entity making the mistake of droping the act because aparently defending 90's kid with a simple "NO he isn't" is more important that arguing about the Entity holding the Villain Ball
*** Enjoying reading about something and actually doing something is two different things. I read about guys cheating on their girlfriend, but I don't go and do it. And I wasn't being a "pretenious fanboy". You were proven wrong, accept it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go watch AT4W and have fun, while you simply hurl insults to fictional characters and fail to use the shift key or punctuation marks.

*** Still waiting for the answer and you still are acting like a you control the conversation but you are just evading the question. Unlike you however i did research if there was an answer in a possible resent cameo in other videos and i found the 90's kid cameo over Oanciticen video where Kyle said that "Nirvana is responsible for Nikelback to exist" and seeing him disturbed by it seems like a pretty good indication that he actually respect Nirvana enough to dont have their image tainted by another band. See? that its actually a good character moment for the kid hinting a good natured person that actually cares..................except that it was a cameo, does that mean that plot relevant moments are scattered around other videos? Link, what did you said in the Amazons Attack + Countdown + Ultimates about having key elements to the plot scattered around other comics instead of having them IN the comic that started the plot? These is like when the people complained about Iron Liz not being properly presented to the fans when he appeared out of nowhere in the Vyce saga (not the complains about why she is his girlfriend, those are stupid) Now if you excuse me, i will wait for someone who actually CARES about this development of events and all the possible outcomes that this could have been executed. You may go now

*** You may be right, but it "felt" that the driving force behind it was that thing he said back then and remembered now that is why i cant take off my head that for a moment Linkara might have been too overconfident and rushing too fast into conclusions that might have shoot a innocent by accident and sending him to a worse mental state and even making even worse decisions in despair like going for Vyce for help and could have been great, after all he was kind of a jerk that doesnt want to help the world with the tech he got or even sell that stuff to have money to even buy Marvel comics and kick Joe Quesada ass out to stop ruining anything else. But again, even if he was correct, how do you think that the Entity should have reacted to being cornered? and what is exactly the 90's kid he is using? he killed the original and made a copy? he is possesing 90's kid?? he killed him and using his skin as a cloth? i was under the impresion that he doesnt have a form of his own and needs to use other but then Link said that all the other glitches are also forms of Missingno, so he HAS forms but arent obviously human looking so 90's kid wasnt replaced, it was possesed............And that is terrible
*** All right, I guess I can understand your frustration with that. As for Missingno., I have no idea if my interpretation of the events is right, but I think it ate 90's Kid and pulled a Ditto, and while Missingno. here represents all glitch pokemon, it represents them as Missingno., which has no form to call its own. And so what if the plot didn't play out how you would have written it? Linkara's not you. He wrote it the way he liked best, and it just happened to not go the route you would've picked. It's just an internet review show, it's no big deal.

** Also, the nature of the glitch is such that normally, pokemon from wherever you just flew in from appear along that coast, with Missingno being a rare conditional exception. The "lost beast" may refer to those pokemon from other areas that are out of place.
*** Linkara [[http://twitter.com/#!/Linkara19/status/129701488565035008 confirmed on his his twitter]] that the Entity is the Lost Beast. He also admits that it's not the clearest, and that miscommunication is understandable.

** That's probably why he devised the Entity as it's own thing in his show. People unfamiliar with Missingno from the games would at least have heard of it from the joke he made about it earlier. No, you wouldn't be able to guess in advance and you wouldn't get the "Heavy" clue, but you would still be able to enjoy the storyline for what it is.

* How was "heavy" the clue that made Linkara realize that 90s Kid was the Entity? According to the Fridge Brilliance page its was a slang from the 80s (probably from Back to The Future) apparently something that 90's kid should not know but how does that make sense? didnt they make reruns on cable or get a VHS of the series? what is wrong if a movie that good actually makes it to the 90's slang? Even the "groovy" said by Ash from Evil Dead 2 popularised in the 90's dates back to the 1940s.

** It's sort of left open to speculation, but the idea is that it was different in Mechakaras universe. I mean, there was a machine uprising in that universe, whereas there was none here. So who knows what else could have been different?
*** Agreed. Maybe the other universe never had the paranoia that Linkara's does about machine uprisings. Maybe nobody ever considered artificial intelligences legitimate for some reason. Maybe Mechakara's motivation is programmed poorly. There's tons of things you can speculate about this.

* How did Linkara know the girl was sacrificed? the delorem implied it to him, but for all he knew that was fake.

* Okay, this is going into spoiler territory here, but [[spoiler: In the WebVideo/SuburbanKnights DVD, there's an AlternateEnding which, essentially, was Mechakara finding Malechites hand.]] Not that I'm not totally hyped by this and all, but it certainly raises a lot of questions. 1. [[spoiler: When and how did Mechakara come BackFromTheDead? I mean, he was a disembodied metal hand that only twitched a little last we saw ihim.]] 2. [[spoiler: How did he even know about Malechites Hand? It's not as though he was present for the events of Suburban Knights. Yet clearly he knew something, or he wouldn't be [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally.]]]] 3. [[spoiler: How did he ''find'' it? Taking away the fact that he was, you know, dead, he was in Minnesota! On Linkaras shelf! How did he get to Chicago? If the Hand was even in Chicago, since it disappeared from where the gang were when Malechite did, which raises the question of just where the hell were they anyway.]] 4. [[spoiler: Why has he not done anything yet? I mean, from Lewis' perspective it makes sense, as Linkaras character has had enough problems with the Entity and all that. But from a story perspective... Mechakara essentially just gained ultimate power. He could make all our heads explode just by snapping his fingers, and it's not like there's any moral values of his stopping him. And this was months ago by now! Did the Entity get in his way or something? I guess that'd make sense, but it was never really explained, and since he never knew about the Entity, I don't see why he wouldn't at least ''try'' to destroy the world and Linkara and everything.]]Again, I did find TheStinger really cool, and it's possible some of this stuff could get explained somehow in the future, but right now, it's just confusing as hell to me.

*** All the more reason for it to make sense from their perspective. But it still doesn't explain much away regarding character behaviour, though who knows, perhaps it will.

* Let's get this out of the way. The "talking the monster to death" done to The Entity works because it is a glitch and wasn't supposed to be in the game and therefore it DOESN'T have a purpose. However, I do find weird that the Entity didn't think about it before at the very beginning of HIS existence, but we could argue that it didnt absorb enough of the world around it to develop intelligence beyond auto preservation. So, after absorbing an entire universe with all the intelligent life forms around it still didnt think about it for one second nor anyone even tried to talk to him about it. Some time later it will develop the capacity to make people suffer for fun (like when he could enter the room when Linkara was reviewing the Pokemon manga but he didnt anyway just to torment him) and somehow after being lectured by Linkara about its meaningless existence he didnt think about making his plans keep going anyway to absorb all existence and THEN dying to reset the whole thing and make things differently this time around, considering that he now knows the concept of having fun by making other beings suffer so may as well try again from nothing and see how munch he can manipulate thing this time to keep him entertained. After all, it kinda fits that a video game creature wants to play with the very universe that created him an beyond and all their living beings in the same way that a person plays a video game over and over. So i guess what really bugs me is that the Entity just went down too easily even if it could just disregard the accusations of Linkara or just keep going on with its plan

*** Never right after all the bast and unlimited universes he has devoured? Not a single soul nor technological advanced alien race questioned his existance? And even with all the inteligent lifeforms he has absorved and all the time of the world to think about it, it never crossed its mind? That its pushing it a bit too far, especially the fact that a god is listening to a nerdy human that is talking out of his ass to save his life (a patron that he may recognize after all the realities he has devoured already). But of course, Link may probably read this and start thinking a solution.

*** What lunatic you ask? well, everyone that isnt scared. I remind you that, he didnt devour a planet and nothing else but MULTIVERSES with billions of billions of billions of life forms beyond any number calculable. Are you SUGGESTING the idea that not a single one of them tried to defy him? why not? is because only humans are special or something? cant the other species think logically, just the humans does? are the other species were cowards? How convenient, isnt it? Is because they aren't Linkara? And i remind you that The Entity is a sadist, and by that logic he took pleasure on eating one by one, possibly doing the same that he did to Linkara of just corner him and watching him go mad or beg for mercy and NOT.A.SINGLE.ONE.OF.THEM tried to harm him emotionally/psychologically? Again, that is pushing it too far. The best way to handle this is for The Entity (if he ever appears again) to just flat out said that he brainwashed Vyce into thinking that The Entity devoured multiple universes and only HE can stop him (that is why he cant believe that it is actually dead, the idea is too ingrained in its head). T.E probably thought that being chased by someone who will make thousands of world suffer to protect them from HIM was more fun than its previous Modus Operandy. In addition, Linkara will discover that T.E lied to him about the multiverses being destroyed and he was just fucking with him because, again, if he actually was in other multiverses he would have been killed like Linkara did to him. At the very least, it will make more sense that T.E had no mind at all from the beggining and devoured anything in the same way a glitch corrupts or fire burns anything in its path without questioning it because obviously doesnt have a mind at this point. THEN when he absorbed enough intelligent lifeforms, he develop a mind on its own and keeps going on the kill anything because "why the fuck not and who is going to stop me?" and JUST IN TIME for Vyce to appear in sight, this time because he is being chased, he doesnt take the time to torture people and just eats them all the way for the rest of his life until he meets Linkara and the others and the rest is history.

* Something about Linkara always threw me a bit off. I get that his shtick is reviewing comics, which involve heroes more regularly than almost any other form of media, but he seems to want to be the "hero" of TGWTG way too much. His stories always involve the near annhilation of the human race if it weren't for a lisping comic book geek with a model gun. I mean, I dig that he has narratives to his reviews, but... he takes it all way too seriously for my tastes. And for someone who hates these tropes being used in comics, he not only has a lot of shock-deaths (fake deaths too, at that), but he has waaaay too many last minute asspull deus ex machinas. Also, dude's flat-out bloodthirsty and cruel in some of his battles. But eh, just me bitching about an internet comedian who's gotten too big for his britches.

I get that his shtick is reviewing comics, which involve heroes more regularly than almost any other form of media, but he seems to want to be the "hero" of TGWTG way too much. His stories always involve the near annhilation annihilation of the human race if it weren't for a lisping comic book geek with a model gun. I mean, I dig that he has narratives to his reviews, but... he takes it all way too seriously for my tastes. And for someone who hates these tropes being used in comics, he not only has a lot of shock-deaths (fake deaths too, at that), but he has waaaay too many last minute asspull deus ex machinas. Also, dude's flat-out bloodthirsty and cruel in some of his battles. But eh, just me bitching about an internet comedian who's gotten too big for his britches.



*** See, it never came across like that to me. Whereas Doug and Lindsay and Noah and most other reviewers write their characters to be obvious exaggerations of an aspect of their personalities, Lewis's always came across as just an idealized version of himself. If he wrote in more jokes that made his character seem flawed in a significant way, or made it obvious that his ego was intentional, it would make me like his character more. But it really just seems like Lewis, while a decent guy in real life from what I know, is living out his fanboyish Gary Stu fantasies now that he has an audience. While this isn't annoying persay, it's just sort of... uninteresting.

*** Link himself said that The Entity has this For The Evulz trait too on his commentary on the Pokemon Manga review. I somehow find even more perplexing that an omnipotent god like The Entity that has devoured countless realities to have this trait rather than an humanoid monster that doesnt have reality warping powers. Actually this guy reminds me of Caleb from Blood rather than the Joker, except that even Caleb couldnt be this unfunny, he at least had a taste in songs and well timed horror movies references
*** Umm...no the Entity didn't. All he said was it was a sadist as an explanation why it didn't just eat Linkara. Anyway, to answer the question, it wasn't the For the Evulz motivation that got him(although that was a large chunk of it), it was that there was nothing to his character. At all. We know nothing about him, who he is, what he wants, and his motivation is non existant. And if he's the main villain...that's horrible writing.
*** I suppose the author was going for the scary aspect of an Humanoid Abomination that does things For the Lulz ala Nyarlathotep, except this "man" doesnt obey something as the Outer Gods, he just kills because he can and there is nothing we can do about it (except for a writer's Deus Ex Machina)
*** Lewis wasn't trying to say the Entity was a standard "psycho who does it ForTheEvulz", but more on the lines of a cat playing with its prey-[[spoiler:Missingno]] is cruel, but its fundamentally amoral. It's like claiming a villain deciding to KickTheDog is automatically motivated by evulz.

* So, how do videos work in-universe, anyway? We've seen Pollo filming the reviews so we know he makes videos in the Awesomeverse, but does he just cut out the storyline bits? How would he explain reviwing the weekly comic on what appears to be a spaceship?

** You'll notice he's not sharing any of his awesome tech or magic with the rest of the world. And they already touched on Linkara's arrogance and ego being a problem in the past (remember when Liz got transported to that alternate universe? And how Mechakara killed his version of Linkara because he was treated badly? Almost every glimpse we've got into alternate Linkara's has been a bad one) and he never bothers to warn anyone outside his immediate circle about the massive threats he encounters. And shooting at other people from space with laser weapons from his stolen spaceship isn't really a minor thing. The characters been ona power trip for a while now and there's been nobody around to try and keep him in check.

*** Well, for one thing, Linkara is on record that he doesn't ''want'' the comics industry to undo their mistakes; he wants the mistakes ''fixed''. If he wouldn't sign a deal with ATG to retcon One More Day, what makes you think he'd resort to time travel to undo his own bad story? And the idea that Linkara would fuck up the comics industry ''that badly''--that ''nothing'' he'd done could be kept, as opposed to fixing the horrible story and leaving some good changes intact--is way more depressing than this show generally gets, not to mention undermining the thing where he spends most of the show talking about his opinions on comics. And honestly, if Linkara wanted to address the realistic backstage challenges of running a comics company, it would be a lot simpler to just discuss it in the review portion of the show. I mean, all else aside, what makes you think he'd ''want'' to do a plot arc about that? Even if you threw in a supervillain, it's not exactly his usual storyline fare.
** For reasons said already, it'd never happen, but it'd be ''hilarious'' to have a story arc about Linkara somehow ending up in charge of DC or Marvel and reworking all the comics to his liking, only for all of them to become author tracts that nobody likes; and that all the fun have been sucked out of them in the name of his Tumblr-style Social Justice. Then he rage quits and hands control to 90's Kid as a "Ok fanboys, HAVE IT YOUR WAY" gesture. Except that 90's kid has also discovered the Silver Age (It's gotta be TOTALLY METAL because of its name!) and ushers in a new, incredibly-popular era of comics that's some bizarre fusion of 90's XTREME and Silver Age goofiness that still somehow works. So popular, that comic books become culturally relevant once again and start getting carried in newsstands/grocery stores/etc. again. It will be later called the "Awesome Age" by comics fans. Linkara will attempt to take credit for it, but everyone's too busy reading DC/Marvel's crossover event comic titled Radical Crisis X to care. (Can Cable, Bloodgun and Superman save the multiverse from DESTYRO THE DESTRUCTINATOR???? Can the Youngblood team and all of the Flashes outsurf the Anti-Monitor in a surfing competition that determines who owns the Sun? Will Batman outperform a bunch of superpowered aliens in the galatic Olympics? Can 90's Kid's EXTREME caption boxes out-narrate the ghost of Rod Serling?)

* Why is everyone reacting so negatively to Linkara respectfully asking that people turn off adblocker for his videos? It's a whole minute of ads per video. Oh my gosh, that's so painful and horrible! How dare he ask you to go through such torment so he can keep producing otherwise free videos for you to watch? Seriously. Are people really that selfish and impatient? (Nevermind, I know the answer to that question.)

* Linkara and the TGWTG crew are magnets for super villains. Do villains in the TGWTG universe love harrassing online reviewers? Seriously, they waste their time breaking into their houses, trying to kill them. Btw, what villain wants to have a chubby 20 something year old reviewer for an arch nemesis??
** Well it's more coincedence that a guy with legitimate magical abilities and various absurd connections, as well as importance in different Alternate Universes happens to be a comic book reviewer. Furthermore, characters like Mechakara probably don't see him as an intended arch-enemy, for of someone they really, really want to kill but...can't.

** Because it keeps ordinary criminals and the like from stealing his stuff. He presumably doesn't fight superpowered creatures like Linkara does often.

* Why did the Nostalgia Critic think that Linkara's storylines were skits given that he met Mechakara during "To Boldy Flee" and Comicron-One fought in the battle against Zod and Turrel?
