No one is excited about Linkara. Ever.
Channel Awesome, AVGN, and other web review shows

I do like Linkara, but I haven't watch any of his episodes for about two years now. >_>
I don't even know any of the people he has on his show now.
-
I forgot that History of the Power Rangers even existed, its been so fucking long since he covered Mystic Force.
-
I'm going through Linkara's stuff methodically. I've almost finish his 2011 Atop the Fourth Wall. I like him. He has some fun story lines and he's useful for learning about comic history and style. I especially like it when he goes into the infamous comics like Ultimatum or One More Day. His jokes need work but…
-
I enjoy linkara but… I CAN'T handle his voice. Sadly it phisicaly hurts me.
-
You're not the first person to say that, but I don't hear it personally.
-
I used to watch ATFW but it slipped away from me and now I'm extremely behind. So I stopped watching all together. HOPR however, I enjoy and I agree with him in saying the Operation Overdrive is the WORST. I watched 1 episode when it was airing and got a headache.
-
I watch AT4W, and I'm up to date on it. I actually agree with Linkara's opinion on a LOT of comic books. He hits square on the nose a lot of my grips with parts of the industry.
I share with him an epic loathe of Spiderman: One More Day and Post-Sin City Frank Miller's work for example.
On the other hand, I can't say any of his work is a thing I'm eagerly anticipating. Like, when I'm bored and want to watch something to unwind to, I just go like "Huh, wonder if there's a new AT4W" and I check. If he has a regular day he updates, I don't know it off the top of my head.
Also… I REALLY don't like his little attempts at a plot. I skip every single one... that doesn't include Snowflame. I don't know his name, but the actor he has doing Snowflame is hysterical. He hasn't used Snowflame in a while. That bit should make a comeback.
-
Linkara is not very funny, not very talented and not very informed.
And he hates all Marvel characters that aren't Deadpool.

That's rather… blunt.
-
Wait, what?
I've seen him talk positively about PLENTY of Marvel characters. Especially Spiderman. His distaste for One More Day and the Clone Saga are clearly explained and it's obvious that he really LIKES a well-written Spiderman. I don't think he'd be quite as upset that Marvel made Spidey make a deal with the devil if he didn't give some level of a shit about Spidey otherwise.
-
Not to mention his love for Captain America. I think the only thing Linkara has a problem with is the X-Men. Not specific X-Men, but much more the X-Men in general. I will admit, some of his gripes with X-Men did piss me off. Back during his Holy War review (which Holy War does fucking suck), he mentioned how Skin/Angelo died, and his reaction was, "OH NO! NOT ANGELO! ….Who's Angelo? Who cares..." I knew who Angelo was. I liked Angelo.
He mentioned it again later when he gave his Top 10 or whatever 'Mistakes', and he mentioned that a lot of people gave him flack for 'not caring about Angelo purely because he doesn't know the character'. He said that was fair but 'That's the problem with the X-Men, they have too many characters for me to begin to care about'.
I admit, I've reached a point where I don't know a lot of the new X-Men since I've stopped reading, but if a character dies that I don't know, I'm gonna assume somebody felt bad about that.
-
Speaking of dead Gen-X characters… No one felt bad about Mondo dying. No one. Not even his creators who couldn't be arsed to ever even get him into the series until like 40 issues in.
-
So… There's this Diamanda... person. And 99% of stuff she makes is absolutely pure garbage. The other 1%? Her old Doctor Who reviews. Watch'em, people - you'll know plenty about Doctor Who without bothering to watch all of the almost 30 seasons yourself.
-
Well. I only watch his HOPR videos nowadays. But I enjoy his other ones whenever I watch em.

Poor Mondo.
Poor Gen-X.

Brows Held High covers Beauty and the Beast.
And it cameos… damn near everyone. Including the new people.
And it's a musical.
But its not the Disney version.
Or is it?
-
NC talks about the top 11 "worst" episodes of Last Airbender. (By default, only in comparison to the others)
Make sure to watch it until the end. (Or just skip to the 23:00 minute mark.)
The follow up episode should be… something else. Looking forward to next week's like crazy.
-
Squee!
! A top 11 best Avatar the Last Airbender list! I've been looking forward to that since Doug reviewed the series! :ninja:

Should be really good. Especially given the… setup.
-
For some reason I feel like it might be likely awkward
! feel like Doug is going to choose mostly Zuko centric episodes in his list. Obviously for good reason, but still.
-
Yeah… I really have no idea how a top 11 list is going to work with two people.
Especially that particular guest.
Still, should be interesting.
-
Saw the video earlier!! OMG, the setup the end was awesome due to the appearance of the special guest!
Next week is so gonna be good! :D
-
Tales of Ba Sing Se is clearly going to be near the top… but I have no idea what the other 10 are going to be... aside from not being the 11 "worst".
And he already wasn't counting multi-parters as one part, so I wonder how the 4 part finale will tie in.
-
I'd wager The Storm is going to be in the top 3, maybe even the number 1 pick.
-
I don't remember which episodes he really enjoyed when he did the vlogs, but i assume at least "The Blue Spirit" and "Zuko Alone" will be on the list aside from "Tales of Ba Sing Se" and "The Storm".
I'm sure there will be some surprises but since he really does like Zuko a lot, there are just some episodes that are bound to be up there. -
! Its actually pretty cool how he got Dante Bosco on board for this. Zuko is a pretty phenomenally written character and getting Rufio himself to give his two cents should be a real treat. I look forward to how this unravels and what they'll think up.
-
Well, i have no idea how to post instagram photos. But… as for next week's guest, they're posting pictures.
http://instagram.com/p/s-Xsl7HqVU/#
http://instagram.com/p/tBwMfanqaY/#! Looks like Dante Basco will also be dressing up like American Dragon Jake Long in next week's video? Craaazy.
-
This is pretty damn cool, but I can't help but think having saved the "worst" list for next week would've been more suitable for a "vs" episode…But we'll see what Doug has planned.
-
So, I just tried to watch Blockbuster Buster for the first time because hey, slow dya and he's doing a star trek movie.
Oh my god he's awful.
And he's done nearly 200 video? Eww.

I dunno, I think he's alright in small doses. I thought his The Wolverine, I Frankenstein and Planet of the Apes reviews are pretty good. He grates after a while but some of his stuff is pretty funny.
-
Im not a big fan of his videos, but his tributes to voice actors are pretty good, at least he know a lot about that world. U can check those at least.
-
Nope, lost me forever when he got into his Linkara inspired "characters", all with bad accents and even more annoying voices. I had to just turn the video off when it got to his babytalk character arguing with a different yet identical character over who was hotter, Troi or Crusher.

Funny, I was banned from this thread for quite a while after I admited to liking some of BB's stuff. Hope it doesn't happen again.I like the guy - I can't stand Linkara (only watched his The Thing review, so I don't know a lot), but BB grew on me. I watch his stuff from time to time, every few weeks. I like that he really cares about stuff he reviews - he knows his shit and likes to talk about what he knows. He's a terrible reviewer, never really talking about the movies production, but when it comes to comparing it to the source material and voice actors - he's great. Thumbs up from me.
-
lol I'm sure disliking something was not the reason. Maybe how you said it… shrugs shoulders
anyways, I don't mind BB. He likes Darkwing Duck. :> I din't know he did voice actor tributes. I might go watch those.
-
It's here.
Sweet! goes to watch
! Dante's dressing as Zuko, hell yeah
-
! For some reason i was expecting more commentary from Basco.
! No Tales of Ba Sing Se? Huh.
There were some surprises for sure and i found some of his choices odd. But it was still allright. -

There were some surprises for sure and i found some of his choices odd. But it was still allright.! Agree with all of this. And yes, I realize favorites list is subjective so I can't really fault him for choosing X over Y, but I will say he copped out. Technically it turned into a top 15 in the end.
Wonder if Tamara dressing as a ninja was meant to be a reference to something, like how the pirates segued into Hook references.
-
Relevant.

She was Huntsgirl, from Jake Long: American Dragon.
! No Tales of Ba Sing Se? Huh.
! Yeah, I'm kind of amazed that one didn't make it. Though maybe its because while the Sokka section was a lot of fun and the Iroh bit was amazingly fantastic, the other chunks of the episode were a fair bit weaker.
! Also, it really feels like a cheat to count the multiparters as single episodes… especially when he split one for his worst list. -
Thanks. I remember catching a few episodes of the show when it it's came out, but I feel like it was so long ago. Just remember she played the girlfriend but also villain though neither character knew of the other's identity at first. I think she later reformed once she found out. Gonna go look her up…
And it turns out she was voiced by Mae Whitman. Wow. Plus the show aired around the same time as Avatar too. Neat.

It was basically Zutara fans consolation prize… if they watched it.

Well, at least Dante Basco and Mae Whitman are used to people shipping their characters.
-
It's here.
! Saw this yesterday and it was fantastically well done! The "Dante Basco as Zuko" skits were so freaking hilarous that find myself grinning like a madman and laughing throughout all of them. Also, I really do like Doug's picks for the countdown. :)
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Youtube version of the "NC Top 11 Avatar episodes" episode!
-
Pause the video at 12:39. The text of the cab-bitches book is pretty great.
I still think that delivery cracked me up more than anything else in the video.
-
Brows Held High has the third and final part of its Beauty and the Beast Old vs. New. Man, that last act…
All three parts together it's probably one of the best things the site's ever done. It's making ME watch Kyle's (Oancitizen) entire backlog!

New Maven Episode. Her baby, is Baby Paw. I'd make some noises about how cute/ the baby is, but.. ok only daaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww.
