TGWTG Linkara / Lewis Lovhaug - HMMMMMMM? (Dead Gay Muppet Gangbang)

[José Mourinho]

After everything we've talked about in this thread you're really asking that?

Just for a survival test to see how long I can last through before I can go insane.

Just for a survival test to see how long I can last through before I can go insane.

Then you're going to be watching for a while. It is probably one of the worst shows on CA (which is an accomplishment), but it isn't painful to watch, just irritating. If you don't know much about comic books, then most of it'll probably just fly over your head.

You'd die of boredom before you'd go nuts. The stories about Linkara are much more interesting than the stuff he makes.

Just for a survival test to see how long I can last through before I can go insane.

If you're just looking for undiluted crazy, there are a few utterly demented individuals out there who have supercut AT4W's plot segments together. You should probably watch a few of the regular episodes and maybe a listeo to get a feel for how tedious the whole thing is, but fortunately there are much easier ways to see how much of a sperglord dildo-recepticle Lewis Lovhaug is.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Fourth part's finally out.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

When is he going to do anymore History of Power Rangers?

 

[Donbasstard]

When is he going to do anymore History of Power Rangers?

There is no storyline in that where he can Mary Sue himself so it's probably low on the priority list.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

When is he going to do anymore History of Power Rangers?

Two reasons:
1. The DVD sets haven't come out yet.
2. He's lazy ("busy") with AT4W. Why would he care about the series even if the sets were released?

 

[Kamen Rider Black RX]

So, is part 4 the last of it?

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

So, is part 4 the last of it?

Don't think so. I think there's like 1, 2 parts left from the looks of it.

 

[Bungleboy]

What the fuck even happened to Linkara physically? He used to look srota normal but now he looks like he's made of biscuit dough. He's so flabby and pale.

 

[A Random]

That's what seven years of sitting on his ass and play-fighting his imaginary boyfriends does to him.

You aren't even aware how right you are there.
Linkara is supposedly a glutton for chicken fingers and he barely does excercise.
So yeah, he let himself go. (insert Frozen reference)

Also, part 4. Holy shit is it annoying.
The thing features its first real fight between Mechakara and Linkara, and of course it is a clusterfuck of cutting off from both of them when one is grabbing the other by the throat and such.

Also, out of nowhere "backstory" for 90s Kid (the shitty comic relief who is always houting how extreme he is), which would have been okay in one of his stupid show sketches, but in this movie is just pointless.
I really wonder how someone who does reviewing of storylines for a living manages to fail so much realizing, when he himself throws in stuff in a story, that feels pointless, because it doesn't have any actual meaning of moving the plot forward.
Look by comparison at Die Hard, when John McLane and the cop are talking with each other, the cop telling him about how he once shot a kid. It also feels a bit pointless, but somehow the movie manages to insert this guy's issues into the movie seeminglessly AND makes him a good character for Willis to bounce off on. They compliment each other in story and create a human element to all the action.
Here, it is a surfer dude who suddenly reveals he isn't as stupid as he acts to someone who isn't even a major character.

Also, Snob really is wasted on that movie. I mean, what role aside of comic relief does he have?

But the biggest fail for me, the one part I really think "budget well invested" in the most sarcastic inner voice possible, is when we see the scientific superbase on the moon.
A freaking storage room with a few empty storage shelves and removal crates.
They culdn't even bother to greenscreen something that looked like an alien reseach base from a video game.
Question: JonTron does reviews of Star Wars games currently with his own buid, rather impressive Millenium Falcon interrior set. How much did that cost? Just so i can rub Linkara in the face how much his production sucks technically.
And don't get me even started on the fail that is Mechakara ripping off the flesh from his face or actually getting stung by a bee shooting gun. Oh yes, if there is something that should make a ROBOT feel pain, it is bee stings in his artificial vision sensors.

Yeah this episode was a major kick in the balls storywise. A competent writer would have at least foreshadowed the depths of Harvey and 90s Kid in the series. It wouldn't have been great (since the characters are rather one note to begin with), but at least it'd be something compared to the "out-of-nowhereness" the way it was written into the film.

And that's before the getting into the way the Linkara vs. Mechakara fight was handled. There was some suspense (*Gasp* A praise in this movie's favor? how can this be?) Only for it to be ruined by constantly cutting back to the stupid backstories". And then it ends with a bee gun, of course it does. And another point in this movie's favor- Linky Boy actually pointing a plot hole in Mechy Boy's plan. But as that just shows how lazy Lewis was when originally creating the character and his subsequent backstory, point deducted.

As for Snob, I think he decided to be comic relief because really, why not give the best lines of the movie to him (and Nash)?

Doesn't that have a pay off in the end too?

 

[UglyOldJafar]

Doesn't that have a pay off in the end too?

That too. Would have probably mentioned it, but I was ranting on too much already and wanted to avoid a autism rating.

Two other things that annoy me with the latest part are also as followed:

1. Linkara's rant about how he realizes that he does review comics, because he loves reviewing them.
Bullshit.
Part of me is willing to believe that Lovhaug in some bizarre way loves the experience, but considering some of the shit he reviewed over the years (like Holy Terror) I think that he is genuinely tired of some of the shit he reviews. At least I am tired of hearing each year him just repeatedly review a Computer Whizz Kid comic, cause I got it already the first two times that the comics are repetative and what makes them bad.
If Linkara wants to bring variety, how about just reviewing a good comic more often? Heck, wouldn't even mind if he just made an episode discussing with other people what they like in certain comics. Actually show you know something instead of just recapping the shit you review.

And aside of that, it really just feels extremely forced and overly lng in that situation. This is supposed to be the ayoff of him at the moment having a crisis of faith, because he is tired of being beaten up almost each month by some evil villain? Weak.

2. The Mechakara scene where he rips off his flesh. You know, if someone who had the willingness to actually pay his make up artist would do the scene, that could have been impressive. With Mechakara actually ripping off larger pieces of his flesh, revealing large parts of his mechanical parts under. You know, make it look gory and scary.
Instead, he rips of gum strings of fake looking flesh. Fail!

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

I think part four is overall, much better than the previous three. The fight scene where Mechakara curb stomps Linkara was shockingly well shot & the background music was decent too. Just for this alone, I can now say that this is officially better than To Boldly Flee & Suburban Knights, because neither of those movies ever tried to have tension in their fight scenes or patience or choreography or even decent editing. I think it also helps that it wasn't filmed on a fakey-bullshit set made of stryrofoam spray painted green.

The long monologue building up to it though, not so much. I can't convey how gay that rant is, the notion that technology can't age or decay or "succumb". It also doesn't help that those tracking shots were all quite terrible with sudden jarring of the camera being caused by forced rotation on the tripod whenever it got hitched. This is especially distracting when Lewis keeps walking out of frame.

The way the fight ends is also gay as hell with that "Bees, my God" joke. Why would a machine care about bee stings? Wouldn't it not know pain or some shit, given how it just laid down some spiel about being superior to fleshies?

All this tells me that there was semi-legitimate potential to make a not-shitty movie but it all went to waste on meta-humor, referencing the ATFW show, rushing to a deadline & filming everything as a soap opera.

I actually read in the comments that Angry Joe was only available on set for something like a day or two? I think a big reason why the Channel Awesome specials always suck is because they have to keep as tight of a schedule as possible because the necessary actors can't stick around for long. I know for a fact that filming for Suburban Knights lasted a total of three days with like a week of editing.

1. I think he mentioned in one of his videos (I think it was the "Top 15 Comics I'll Never Review" video) that the whole point of AT4W was about reviewing the bad comics. And more specifically, bad North American comics, that is American and Canadian books. So he has a bit of a bias when it comes to what he reviews on his show. Sue he's reviewed okay, sometimes even good comics (Batman Noel, for instance), but from last check, those are too few and far between to actually count.

2. I think what would have been better (more so with a higher budget) would be to have an animatronic Mechakara in some scenes, you know, to help break up the overuse of crappy CGI. Hell, why the fuck couldn't he get the makeup artist to do something like that to begin with? This really makes me wonder where the hell the budget went. Since the makeup looks really weak, roughly on par with the CGI even.

I actually agree in all three points with you.
The rant by Mechakara is especially sucky if you consider, that for being "oh so superior", he got defeated like three times before that movie. As such the rant becomes rather weak and leaves the question open, why Linkara doesn't just counter with the fact that for being oh so superior, he got defeated so often and obviously seems to express human flaws not related to "mortality".

Also, the bee thing, which I also tried to sarcastically comment on.

Thing is, I don't believe this would have been a not-shitty movie, even if things didn't go to waste for meta humor.
But I believe this thing could have been an entertainingly bad comic.
Actually, why not just take the money you actually put in your own pocket, hire a good artist, draw the thing as a comic (allowing you to actually portray spaceships as what they are supposed to look like, not your living room) and put that thing up online for everyone to read?

Here's the issue: regardless of gimmicks, it's his show. Lewis has complete and total authority to review whatever he wants, so if he's tired of his premise or losing popularity, there's no reason why he shouldn't try something else.

Aside from his ego and stupidity, that is.

I feel that the reason why he doesn't is due to his ego and stupidity, seeing as he seems to be actively refusing to vary up his show.
