Oh man. The video was as fascinating as usual, but I have to say, for some reason the "dedication" to Angelo at the end was probably the funniest thing I've seen all week. I'm not saying that says a lot for me, I'm just mentioning it cause it was awesome.
Who IS Angelo anyway? I mean, I could Wikipedia it, and I probably will, I just felt like asking.

Angelo is Skin; he's one of the mutants from Generation X (a sort of New Mutants reboot that ran in the mid 90's, about a young X-team led and taught by Banshee and Emma Frost). His body is covered by malleable skin that he can manipulate at will.
Chamber, Husk and Jubilee were also part of that team, in case you were curious about why they're involved in this storyline.

Quote:Oh man, is this the arc that culminated in the reveal that Nightcrawler was an embodiment of the anti-christ or some such cockery?
You mean where it's revealed that he's a demonspawn? Oh, no.There is antichrist plans in the making, though.

I like the X-Men fine. And I must respectfully disagree - a lot of the dialogue sounds stilted and forced, and the X-Men themselves aren't portrayed as all that likeable or intruiging. But that's not the fault of the characters, but of the person who wrote them. And like I said, Chuck Austen has done some good stuff, but this is certainly not his finest work.

Wow. The narration actually says "And he has these hundred inch claws." These? He writes how he talks? And Nightcrawler talks in such a casual, high-school manner? Not to mention that after the flaws regarding religious philosophy and bible quotes you pointed out, you'd think that Nightcrawler would be the one X-Man to NOT screw that up.
Well done, Linkara!

Quote:My apologies for the double post, but one more thing (and here comes my own continuity alert!): it greatly bothers me that the X-Men have matching uniforms. The entire point of the X-Men is that they are diverse, and their costumes were designed to reflect that.
Ditto there. It's why I always loved Jim Lee's costume designs - unique for each character.

I am a Christian. I respect the beliefs of others unless they believe in something harmful, i.e. killing because some guy told you that the man upstairs says so. But I respect the beliefs of others. I do not respect the belief that my faith or the faith of another is a disease that should be wiped out. How do you propose to accomplish such a task anyway? The fact is, you call religion and faith harmful, yet you are the one seething with hate. If you don't agree with my beliefs, that is fine. But to propose what is tantamount to ethnic cleansing because you find religion uncomfortable is a bit much. I know atheists, smart atheists with good arguments and intelligent minds. You are not one of them. You are what they call a "sophomore skeptic." You took a class, or read a book and without looking at the big picture you thought you had everything figured out. It's not that simple.

Quote:Dude, Linkara, I like your videos, but this one...I found myself agreeing with the comic. Religion IS a disease. A disease of blind faith and stupidity. Getting rid of it completely is a GREAT idea.
The book is probably quite bad, but its message about religion is not a flaw.
Well, on behalf of the millions of people who draw strength, hope, and have never harmed another living creature in the name of their faith, thanks. :DYou're of course entitled to your opinion, as much as I think it's wrong. ^^

Having watched a lot of your vids I really like your narration. It's overly fast (I guess it's the point to make it such), wise and sounds cool ^^. From the former new guys - you stand out. Keep up the good work, man ;).
P.S. You could put in the "I am a MAN!!!" quote in your future reviews
, it could match with anything.
