Neat! I've been digging around in the lower echelons of comics (the highest I go usually is Dark Horse, though there are exceptions) for stuff to read (Aftershock's Knight's Temporal and Coffin's Lady Death are some to have recently caught my interest), so hearing recommendations from other YouTubers with more experience than our nasty cockslut here is always a plus.
The problem with being a big fish in a small pond is that when a bigger fish comes along, there ain't enough water for the both of you.
The audience doesn't want angry reviews with character skits. They want information. This is why comicstorian and comics explained does quadruple Lewis's numbers with a low production cost. This is more like the small fish in the pond where the water turned salty and doesn't realize the hundreds of ocean dwelling fish around him are thriving.
The thing is, if both spouses actually work and pay expenses together, living together can actually ease financial pressure considerably. Rent/house payments are generally pretty close to the same for two as for one, and is most people's biggest bill. Cows seem to have a pattern of marrying layabout freeloaders though.
See, this was why I first thought Linkara's scripts were okay; I thought the joke was he'd take comic plotlines and just be him riffing on it. Then I realized this doofus was serious.
I’m just thinking about how James Rolfe has the Nerd doing things like beating up Bugs Bunny and the whole Berenstain Bears review and how Polybius played like a psychological thriller. I’m not sure if Linkara was trying to do that with his story parts, but if he was, I think James did it better by just having the Nerd be like the straight man reacting to the shit around him. And also, James Rolfe has film skills Miles ahead of what Linkara has, despite what his ego tells him.
It's uncertain but she must in order to keep them afloat. What would she even do?
She might, but I doubt it gets enough attention to be viable as a second income. More like a hobby.
I figured he's been tepid with Time Force and RPM because they have mature themes that challenge him.
I understand “hero of their own story”, and that’s probably an intermediate writing skill, but what I’m hearing is that Linkara can’t write a proper villain motivation to save his life that isn’t world domination for the sake of it a la Pinky and The Brain. I mean, I’ve written stuff (won’t power level or say what they are because don’t want people stealing my ideas or finding me) but I’ve done a villain that wanted takeover to one up a predecessor, and I’m thinking of one that involves antagonists just going loose in their final moments. I won’t say I’m better than Lewis or anything, but I can understand villains having motivations that they justify to themselves and doing things because “it amused me”.
