I suggested this comic!!!

Thanks for suggesting it! It was funny as hell even without Linkara's help!

Oh, and the mic sounded great, but the quality was a little inconsistent between shots. Still good though.

Thanks, but it looks like other people suggested this too. I suddenly feel less special. Ah well.

LMAO! I love the beginning where he does his James T Kirk parody. And I just rotfl at Dr. Linksano being kept occupied with a junior chemistry set. XD


"Welcome to PSA Hell!"
Ohhhhhhh nooooooooooooooes! T__T

Good choice - this was Linkara's funniest episode in a while!

Now I want to see Dr. Doom vs. Great Teacher Onizuka.

I imagine it as a cross between this comic and the one where Luke Cage hunted Doom down and beat him up to get his money.

At least I could believe Onizuka taking out Doombots.

Dr. Doom vs. Nozomu Itoshiki from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

I'd read it.

Also, loved the Spider-Man rant! (And I read about this one on Cracked...both mockeries are awesome.)

Ahh, I read that Cracked article as well, twas indeed a good mockery (oh, along with the one at I-Mockery, go figure)...Which reminds me, I need to introduce Linkara to an old friend of my youth...A little friend called...Johnny Turbo.

*Cue "Smells Like Teen Spirit"*

I would SO read that. I love Nozomu, SZS is totally my favorite anime show. XD

Anyway... This review was great. I've totally been wanting Linkara to review more PSA comics, as they tend to end up with the funniest reviews, but alas, I cannot find any email or anything to suggest reviews like Nostalgia Critic does. So Linkara, if you're reading this... Can you review the comic Lois Lane #106? It's where Lois Lane uses a machine to turn herself into a black woman so she can understand their "struggle". Also review more PSAs. Particularly more of those Captain Planet comics, I love the review you did of the third one. XD

I want to see the Lois Lane one too.

But there is this one PSA comic I remember as a kid some sheriff department or Buger King (either one of the two) handed out to us talking about how children can be safe around child molesters (and no this did not have Winnie the Pooh in it) and at the end of this comic they reveal that one of the kids was actually molested by someone.

You should have seen the look on my mom's face when her eight year old daughter askes her what "child molestation" means.

About that Lois Lane comic, Linkara has already said that he doesn't plan on ever reviewing it. He says so in his "Top 15 Comics I'll Never Review" video. Then again, he said he wouldn't review a Sonic comic and then did so in the next review.

I also loved the Spider-Man rant. I'm a huge Spidey fan, and still read his stories to this day (which puts me 20 years of readership) but I'll be damned if that rant wasn't hilariously spot on.

Kickass review, Linkara! I've seen a few print recaps of this comic before, but you definitely made your own wicked review & brang this crap to life!...Um, & I mean that in the best sense of...What I mean is you kicked ass by taking this crap...And...Um...Look, long story short, great video, & an excellent way to lead off after the Vyce saga. ^_^

Drunken stray observations I made:

- For some reason, when I saw you in the spaceship, I was expecting something like that Fresh Prince episode where Will goes back to Philly & decides to stay, ending on a cliffhanger...Only to have an NBC exec show up in the beginning of the next episode & say "Dammit, Will, the writers are tired! Just get your ass back to L.A.!" Well, I guess if you imagine Poyo as an exec, it's kinda like that...

- I should probably point out that the six kids featured along with the teachers are actual, real-life students who succeeded in writing an essay & won an appearance in a Spider-Man comic. Talk about lousy luck: These kids probably hoped to get a cameo bit in Amazing Spider-Man, but not only wound up in a crappy PSA instead, but found themselves having no lines, found themselves playing literal braindead kids, & found themselves all identified by their real names & likenesses. Thus began the Great Swirlie Massacre of 2006.

- Ironically, the Fantastic Four's current replacement for Johnny Storm? Spider-Man himself (complete with his 57th new costume change)!

- Yes, Dr. Doom, your plan to steal the knowledge of junior high kids was brilliant. Now all you have to do is figure out why Blade doesn't sparkle & why Speedball was, like, totally acting emo.

- "Gaze upon my radiant beauty...And Despair!!" Meh. She's a 5 at best. Not worth showing despair over.

- If there's anything I've actually learned from this comic about teaching, it's this: Always keep a ball of rubber bands on you at all times. Apparently it can help kids learn, track down missing people, & pretty much save your life in general.

- Yeah, the microphone honestly wasn't all that awesome...Then again, it might just be because the change felt a bit awkward. It definitely sounded different, at least...I could definitely notice a change between the bit on the spaceship & the rest on the couch, & I think I might've preferred the spaceship. But then again, change.

To comment on your microphone, I noticed a weird buzz whenever you spoke. It wasn't to bad, aside from when you yelled.

Which, given the quality of this comic, was a distressing amount

Wow, I just realized, with Mechakara and Lord Vyce defeated. Linkara may actually live out the rest of his life as a normal comic reviewer in peace.

But I am still wondering about "The Enity" will it top Mechakara and Lord Vyce I mean they were pretty evil but how will they compare to "The Enity" if we still have yet to see it.

Mechakara wasn't exactly defeated if you remember on the episode he blew up or something, his robotic hand moved a little showing he's still alive...ish. Also MechaLiz is still alive. But, yeah eventually Linkara will have to encounter the Entity that Vyce was talking about.
One thing I wanted to add, I always thought that He-Man was the champion of the universe but then I realized he's the Master of the universe. It's easily mixed up.

It's certainly not a bad mic, but you might want to restrict it to on-location shots or those of the same nature. The mic you were using before was definitely better, particularly when you were yelling. Wireless ones are usually just a tad worse than a basic shotgun or vocal mic.
(Why yes I AM a film student, how did you know?)

EDIT! Though, to be fair, I couldn't see it, which either means it's really small or you're just really good at hiding it. Not much "cloth-rubbing" sounds, either. It's just the sound quality that's the problem, which I suppose is the biggest issue.

'Gaze upon my radiant beauty and despair!'
I need to use that somewhere...

My GOD, that really was a failure, wasn't it? It portrays schools epic centres of of limitless knowledge when really, when the Hell are you gonna use friggin' algebra in the real world? I mean REALLY? Very little 'knowledge' from the subjects taught in schools is useful at all.
At least its that way in Ireland.

But didn't you know? Rubberband balls are deadlier weapkns than blitzballs. In fact, both world wars were won with rubberband balls. The rest is just an elaborate hoax.

But seriously, though, awesome review. And I think the microphone was fine, in fact, when you read some of Reed Richard's dialogue, at one point, there was a really cool vague echo. Keep that.

Congratulations on the classic TOS movie era uniform. Looks good. I'm assuming you just got it since this is the first time I recall seeing you in it.

Are you going to try and get them all?

First off... yeah, lose that microphone. It wasn't a good one. Try something else with it.

Now to the comment, brought to you by Subway: Those product placements were painful (painful enough to need Advil). It was just awful, unlike Pepsi. I really can't believe the teachers won using those rubber band balls... I can believe using an Apple iPod or a Nintendo DSI (and coming soon the Nintendo 3DS), but a rubber band ball. That's why I go to Office Depot for my office supplies.

Now if you excuse me... I'm going shopping with this wad of cash that I happen to have... which has nothing to do with product placement... not at all...

The mic sounded a bit odd, maybe to far away so it picked up a bit of echo from the room?

It may just be me, but your Audio sounds much better then usual... could just be me.
Oh, and the review was hilarious as always!

...Kara-cruiser...just saying

I like your last mic better then your new one.

Anyways good review Linkara.

Holy cow! I swear, my fifth grade teacher was Ms. Pariseau in this comic! Wierd...

Geez, Doom. When your device is named after a far superior Jimmy Neutron episode, try again!

Okay, these teachers are kicking more ass than the heroes! Come on!

Dr. Doom: Conquerer of Earth, able to defeat both Galactus and steal the almighty power of the Beyonder, and can escape from Hell itself, but is unable to stop grade-school teachers. And not even the cool kinds with magic schoolbuses.

Thanks to the last part of your comment, I will now kill to have a Magic School Bus vs. Dr. Doom crossover.

"Stardate...eh....monday"

xDD

The mic is recording some other noises, nothing too obtrusive though. Kind of like your earlier videos. And oddly enough that's not the only similarity.

I dunno why but I'm suddenly compelled to go to OfficeMax.... O_O

Great video Lewis! =D

I don't know about mics and can't give you tips on how to improve it. But, speaking just as a viewer: your voice was muffled and there was occasional buzzing, and it was VERY distracting. Your voice was very clear with whatever you were using before, so this was just unbearable for my poor ears. Especially when you yelled, it had none of the usual pop to it thanks to the equipment.

"In the place of a teacher, you would have a Queen! Not a harsh grader, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the seas! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!"

Oh my go...you see this is why I hate PSA comics.

This may be the single-stupidest thing you have ever featured on this show.

Stupider than Bimbos In Time?

...or should it be "more stupid?"

...well crap, now I feel stupid.

The microphone sound kind of weird...

But I gess is the sound of something diferent...

Anyway... great review... love psa episodes...

Dear god that was corny, I seriously had to stop the video once or twice at how humiliating some of that was. Although I'll admit . . . "BEHOLD MY RADIANT BEAUTY AND DESPAIR" was pretty funny . . . you do kinda have to realize though, that these are real teachers, so that woman really says that apparently . . . unless that's some sort of quote? (too lazy to look it up)

The new sound is weird, but only because I don't think I'm used to it, it sounded almost like you were dubbing it only your lips matched your voice too perfectly. Meh, at least it was very clear hearing you, maybe you just need one of those mesh pad things to go over the mic to make it sound less harsh? I saw Takahata101 use one in his "How to do voice acting" video.

Officemax is one thing, but what the hell was up with the rubber band balls? Of all the Officemax products you show off . . . that's your main event? At least they didn't fend off Doctor Doom with Hannah Montana Gel Pens I guess . . .

Yeah, choosing the rubber band balls to promote over...Well, any other bit of office supplies, really, was just stupid.

Which means this mess fails as a superhero comic, fails as a PSA, AND fails as an advertisement. It's the crap trifecta!

Not sure if it's meant to be a quote, but it sounds a lot like Dracula's "Behold my true form...and DESPAIR!!!" line from Symphony of the Night.

your mic seems to have a bit of a 'grainy' sound

You know the worst part about Doom's plan of "stealing knowledge" from kids is that he's ALREADY ONE OF THE SMARTEST MEN ON THE PLANET.

Of course it's not like he can just read a book or something, if he really wants more knowledge.

As for the new mic, eh, honestly I think the old one sounds better. At least through my speakers. The new one seems loud and clear but there's just something off that I can't put my finger on. Maybe I'm just noticing the difference.

Wait, I can't believe you didn't mention an important point!

You couldn't see it in the shot, but those six students were real, and they had their likenesses and full names printed in the comic book. Meaning that they must have gotten a HELL of a lot of teasing.

Curse you Tom de Falco! Doctor Doom is not that stupid! He is part of my rooster on Marvel vs Capcom 3, he defeated Galactus, which is considerable stronger than a rubber ball of OfficeMax.

Awesome review Linkara, and yeah, the mic sounds kinda off.

Hey, Linkara! The new mike works okay, but I did notice the buzz others noticed.

I wanted to write a "Justice League" fan story, but need some insight from an expert like yourself.

While I have a great understanding of heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, ect... some of the characters I want to use are...well, I was able to learn about their origins and powers, but I didn't find much about their personalities.

I want to write a story that doesn't break character, even if it is by accident. Can you please give me a brief idea of how these characters act, and what to avoid?

Starman
Stargirl
Red Tornado
Guy Gardner
Fire
Ice

Red Tornado is in the Young Justice cartoon if that's of any help.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not familiar with that cartoon. Is Young Justice a newer series? The last comic based cartoon I watched was Teen Titans.

I think the microphone sounded alright; it did have a slight buzz to it but I didn't even notice until someone pointed it out to me.

Honestly I don't think it's an issue with the microphone as much as it's placement. It sounds like you've got it too close.

Good episode, of course.

lol, would be way, way too obvious to call the ship "Fourth Wall", as in "Coming to live from atop the Fourth Wall".

"Gaze upon my beauty and despair!" - I seriously need to find a way to work that into a conversation. XD

you totally should

I'd pay to see that. Though, the REAL Doom would have shoved her aside and said, "Away with you, whore!" and then finish off the teachers like the badass he is.

Dr. Doom keeps his pimp hand strong
