If the silver age stories were silly and stuff, what were the golden age stories like?

Superman beat up spouse abusers and Hitler.
Usually in that order.

And really, if Superman never beat up hitler, he just wouldn't be doing his job.
-
they usually are somewhat grittier. It is like the 90's but not as dark. They are very different types of story.

DR INSANO STRIKES AGAIN with science apparently...
-
or he will unleash the power of SCIENCE ON YOUR ASS! He's sort of like McGuyver. If McGuyver decided to take on Linkara, and try to do bodily harm to him.

Linkara, beautiful episode. You're right, Neutro's not really a hero so much as a 'weapon', and of course the question is in mind, where the hell where they doing those completely insane tests?!
Anyhow, great video, the fight at the end was hilarious, look forward to the next one!
-
10.24.2009 - 04:38 | pazkalwell as shitty as this comic is, the panels just said he "could" destroy cities, etc. so i guess the scientists simply envisioned it instead of actually testing him.

Wow. thx
You know, between this vid and the new NC vid, I'm going to have some weird dreams tonight.

02.24.2009 - 20:10 | LinkaraNeutro can destroy mindfucks!
He is a force for good, after all!
...OR IS HE?!
...Yes!
...WE THINK!

[quote=Linkara]Neutro can destroy mindfucks![/quote]
NO. NO ONE CAN DESTROY THE PERIPHENALIA WAGON.
NO ONE. IT IS THE CENTER OF ALL THAT IS EVIL.
...ahem...
That aside, great job upping the technical/theatrical aspects of your videos.
I don't know who Dr. Insane-o is, but he's a hilarious character. A perfect evil villain.
And trust me, I know how good is is to specialize in being awesome. Everyone told me that it was a worthless degree...but now look who's saving the world from rampant, unstable, alien machines: awesomeness.

02.24.2009 - 20:25 | KerfAnother great review Linkara! i loled at the reference to the Atari 2600 ET games.
P.S. I AM A MAN!!!!
-
02.24.2009 - 20:12 | AhlyssahWow, what a stupid nonsensical plotline. Good job ripping this comic a new one!
-
Having Dr Insano was great touch to help make video even more better. How did you get Spoony do that role anyway?
-
Let's see now...besides a reference to both Barkley vs. Godzilla and Superman's at Earth's End...we have an E.T. reference as well as, if I remember correctly, Linkara paraphrasing one of the riffs the MST3K gang did to one of the Hercules movies (his line about "Being Awesome as a career" insted of "Kicking Butt as a career).
Any others?

Spoony was already planning to have Dr. Insano for his Final Fantasy 8 vid, but then I asked him if he would be interested in doing a brief thing for the "Previously on..." segment of Uncanny X-Men #424. He decided to use Insano there, as well.
While I was writing the review to this one, it occurred to me that the plot of this comic involves evil scientists trying to take over the world with a giant robot, so I asked him if he'd be interested in another cameo, and here we are.

I kept doing two takes each time I did something different with the green screen: one was "Being Awesome as a career," the other being "Kicking Ass" as a career. ^_~
By the by, my plight with the green screen will end up a Premium Member extra in the next week or two, as soon as I get around to editing all my takes together.

Another Nifty Video!
Question is, what was in that gun? Since it was established that bullets were useless against Neutro.

Can't wait to see it!
Just wondering though, where do you get a green screen at? Since I'm planning to become the wrestling-based media reviewer here once I get everything I need for it, I may want to use it.

02.24.2009 - 20:36 | KamenRiderGumo
I swear, I would read this series now just for the laughs. I'd never even heard of this before, but now I want to read the entire thing. (After all, as you probably know by now, I am a man who has a fascination for gigantic machines of mass destruction bent on global annihilation.)
-
02.24.2009 - 20:58 | LinkaraWell, you just did. ^_~ There was only ONE issue of Neutro, so we never get an answer to the questions it asks.
And yeah, sorry for not using the whole quote - I kept forgetting parts of it during filming and just needed to go with the best green screen I had.

There are full packages you can buy that have everything you need for a professional green screen effect, but I'm poor.
As such, I got a green screen by going to Target and buying a big green sheet and something to hang it up on (though I eventually just hung it up in front of a window to remove my shadow).
The real difficulty in green screen effects is lighting. The biggest struggle I had with the green screen was the fact that the first time I shot it, my big, lumbering shadow prevented the effect from working despite various attempts at fixing it. There are online guides to proper green screen lighting, though, and it can be done on the cheap.

Magic
Check his Star Trek #1 review for more demos.
-
02.24.2009 - 20:43 | PhunkyPhazonSomehow, as soon as the flash animation of Neutro popped up, I just knew Dr. Insano was behind it.
Awesome vid, that rocked!
-
02.24.2009 - 20:55 | TrencherFunny stuff but again this is a comic that I would want to actually read. I love crazy comics like this.

02.24.2009 - 20:58 | DanManX
WHOOOOOO! References to X-Files, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, E.T. for the Atari...GAH! Someone beat me to listing them! Darn you!
Seriously though, I think this may be the best video yet. I MAY only think that because of the ending. We got Spoony, we got the magic coin, we got "I AM A MAN!" (which failed, making it even sweeter somehow), and we got the magic gun. Also those awesome sunglasses. Linkara, I think you may be my favorite person ever.

WITH SCIENCE!!

02.24.2009 - 21:12 | futureruleromg awsome i laughed so hard i had to stop in the middle of the vid so i could catch my breath
-
02.24.2009 - 21:22 | AnimikeanThey could have been more irresponsible if... uh... they left him unattended in a playground.
No wait then a five ear old would take him home and do a better job with Neutro then these two clowns!
-
02.24.2009 - 22:04 | SailorCardKnightThank you for posting your new video during the same time as the NC's new video (which I saw right before this). I needed a good laugh after getting really freaked out after watching his review, and this video is hilarious (expecially the end there XDDDD ).
Like one other person said, I think I will also have some pretty freaky dreams tonight as a result of these 2 videos.
Oh and...I'm still waiting for you to review a manga. Perhaps I can throw in another suggestion? This time I suggest: Miyuki-chan in Wonderland by CLAMP.
I'm a **HUGE** Clamp fan, but seriously, this short-lived series MAKES NO FRIGGIN SENSE!!! (i guess best way to decide it is, think a very twisted version of Alice in Wonderland thats also Yuri.....uh, yeah) The only thing I liked about it was the pretty-looking art, and the crossover with Clamp's other series X. Other than that, its one of the few things by Clamp that I actually hate! Plus, its only 1 volume long, so it really is short.

But does Neutro know the difference between right and left?
OK, stupid pun, but that's what i would have said to that line:P
[quote]Question is, what was in that gun? Since it was

My guess would be 21 dinosaurs...
Wow! What with all these amazing references, this is not a review of which i wouldn't say i can't refuse to not give less than 5 stars B) (is that right?)

Powerful group of scientists? What? Were they all Hulks in a lab coat? :o
-
02.24.2009 - 23:40 | MattTheParanoidKat - Magic vs SCIENCE!!!Great video, I never got how the main character of the comic, Dodge had a beard one moment, then in the next page it disappeared.
The Dr.Insano bit was gold, and I think he'd be rather pissed about you using a magic gun to defeat his SCIENCE!
Very well done.
