    Awesome vid. Including the "Weird Al" song at the end was a nice touch.

    Linkara...you are my absolute favorite person ever. You used a Weird Al song, him being my absolute favorite musician, in a video making fun of one of the stupidest Spider-man stories ever, Spidey my absolute favorite hero. I have never seen such awesomeness.

    Nice.
    Was the "No you're not!" a subtle reference to [i]Revenge of the Sith in 5 seconds[/i]?

    Heeeey, that was more than five panels.

    But I don't even care! Your stuff is glorious!

    Am I the [i]only[/i] one to like the Clone Saga and think that Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider was a great character that should have been kept for the remainder of the series??? I'm honestly starting to get tired of all the hate this saga gets.



    On the other side of the coin, this was actually FUNNY hate of the Clone Saga, so I'll let it slide.

    Not really hate, just wanted to sum it up.

    As I've said before, the Clone Saga started off really strong, but then constantly got hampered by really stupid ideas, characters, and plot points that went nowhere.
  • Kerf
    Lol nice.

    The Wierd Al song added the perfect touch. ;)

    I've heard a lot of people that like Ben himself, and the Scarlet Spider costume etc., but I think it's more the way the story went than the character himself that people don't like.

    I don't know for sure though.

    Still have to thank the Clone Saga for granting us readers a nice full page naked Gwen Stacy to drool over. :woohoo:

    Knowledge of Classic Weird Al alone merits 5 stars!

    If I remember correctly, the writers actually wanted to make it a much shorter story, but Marvel forced them to keep dragging it out because they thought it was doing awesome business for them. It was back when I wasn't able to get alot of comics, but my dad actually ended up picking me up every new issue of that story line. Looking back I surprisingly do have fond memories of that story, and I think I'm the only person that thought Kaine (not to be confused with Kane without the "I" of the WWE) was a bad ass character ... of course I was around the age of 12 at the time.

    As far as the video goes Linkara, another great one. You've quickly become my favorite person on here. Your videos always make me laugh, especially when you rip apart stuff that I remember being so excited about when I was younger, then realizing now just how awful it was. (A football player that fights evil? SIGN ME UP!) Keep up the stellar work.

    One other thing. He does only use 5 panels, he just reuses them. Smart way to bend the rules. :)
  • eviljim  - Great vid as always linkara
    avatar
    In addition to my praise of this video, I would like see you do something with character Deadpool for your AT4W series b/c he's the only character that persistently breaks the forth wall. :idea:

    She-Hulk liked to do it a lot, too.

    avatar
    I've got that song on my Ipod, lol :)

    heh I'm glad the cartoon series wasn't too confusing with the cloning. They had the clone of Mary Jane, Hydroman and when Spider-man was taken to an alternate universe he met his clone, the scarlet spider. They were in Peter Parker's hsexyh world. Peter Parker got possessed by Carnage and destroyed the multiverse. Plus he lost both Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Very sad really. Then a clone comes around so I can't blame him from being pissed off.
  • overfiend_87  - ..creepy

    After I commented the next film that starts showing on Sky Scifi/horror happens to be Spider-man 3. What do you think about it Linkara? I personally wished Venum had a bigger part and appeared more as the criminal or that Venum shouldn't have been killed.

    It might be different in the comics, but in the cartoon series Vendum was sent back up attached to a rocket and still came back. A little pumpkin bomb isn't going to kil that sybiod. Then again they could always that that little bit that Doctor conners has escapes and replicates.

    heh...yeah I have the creative mind to build anything, no matter what. Wish I could do somehting with the ideas.

    You know, the Clone Saga reminds me of the current Battlestar Galactaga and their cylon problem. It's like someone just drew names out of a hat to determine who the clones were.

    Nice. Another great Comic in 5 Panels. Can't wait to see what comic you do next.

    So, are you a clone?
  • TBrady  - NEVER
    avatar
    Linkara, you are NEVER going to top the Batman RIP video.
  • Zolton  - I don't know, dude...
    I think some of the best Norman Osborn stories have been told since his comeback.

    Sure the Death of Gwen Stacy was great, but the current Thunderbolts comics and even the late 90's Spider-Hunt related comics have been great. I liked how they focused on Norman being the ultimate Spider-man villain and not the Goblin.
  • Mark Fanboy  - "I think I'm a clone now", classic
    avatar
    And that pretty much sumed it all up right there. Thought for sure Norman :evil: himself was a clone too since he had been dead in the comics for years. [More than 2 decades our time.]

    [quote=TBrady]Linkara, you are NEVER going to top the Batman RIP video.[/quote] He can try, can't he. Besides, he just might. Remember when we thought NC couldn't top the Batman and Robin review?

    I used to come to this site hoping for a new Nostalgia Critic. Now I always hope for a new installment by Linkara.
  • ThatGuyInTheHeadband  - You know what's weird about today?
    avatar
    Linkara did a video today about Spiderman and Yahtzee reviewed Web of Shadows on ZP. Is it a coincedence, or some kinda conspericy going on?

    You make me wish i had been reading comics. This was funny even if you haven't read that much spiderman though. I remember the clone part from the 80's or was it 90's animated show.

    Funny Montage :P

    I gotta be honest, I started reading comics back when Ben Reily was Spider-Man, so I still have a soft spot for him. Even so, most of that storyline DID suck in retrospect.
