[[Catch Phrase|Let me pitch it to you:]] Matt Burkett is Apollo Z. Hack. Hack is not just a web based movie reviewer, for he is destined to be the either the savior of the [[The Verse|Reviewaverse]], or the destroyer. He periodically releases reviews of movies that he feels are under appreciated, but his biggest claim to internet fame is The Reviewaverse Saga - a seven part epic about the resurgence of an ancient Nerd civilization, a coming Nerdpocalypse, and references to ''[[Battlestar Galactica
Reviews with an overarching plot isn't new - [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] did it before - but The Reviewaverse Saga is perhaps the first to focus more on the plot than the actual review. An episode of the saga will start off explaining the plot, then a character would mention a movie offhand, a review ensues, then the plot continues.
Line 20:
* [[Doppelganger Attack]]: The Sequel Attack Mode allows a Revuer to copy itself.
** And the Illegal Copy Attack Mode allows a Revuer to copy other things.
* {{spoiler|[[Ear Worm]]: In-universe, the mysterious music in the dreams (in real life being "Kara Remembers" from ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: [[Diamanda Hagan]] joins the more heroic reviewers because Cinnera stole her chance to destroy them.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]
Line 28:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: Due to Burkett being unable to complete the saga, it ends on episode six, with {{spoiler|G.E.A.R. killing a majority of the surviving reviewers, and Hack returning to life. Hack then kills Ares and Lupa, and is implied to destroy the current Reviewaverse in order for it to be reborn. Again.}}
* [[Geeky Turn On]]: Dakota is noticeably into guys who know their [[Power Rangers|Japanese]] [[Kamen Rider|super]][[Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad|heroes]].
* [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]]: Of the [[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Guilty Pleasures]]: In-universe, the film ''[[Freejack]]''.
* [[History Repeats]]: The original Nerdaria was destroyed by {{spoiler|Hack}}, who wanted the Reviewaverse to be reborn and produce better quality entertainment. At the end of episode 6, {{spoiler|he comes back from the dead and is implied to do the same.}}
Line 38:
* [[Power Copying]]: The Critic Mimic Attack Mode allows a Revuer to assume a form similar to another critic.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Kamen Rider]] and other [[Toku]] shows are a major influence on the Saga, both on the costuming and the fighting styles.
** So is ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Take That]]: The Critic Mimic Attack Mode could be one towards people who rip off talented critics.
