"What plan?! She planned for Air Force One to be brought down? She planned to get knocked unconscious by Batman? She planned for the Bana to purportedly to be the real enemy only they're not, thus making their entire sub-plot utterly, totally, completely worthless??!"
—Linkara's commentary on Circe's "master plan" in Amazons Attack.
|
"Let this be a lesson, kids--when debating, solve your disagreements not with words, but by screaming I AM A MAN!!!, and punching them in the guts."
—Linkara in his Superman At Earth's End review, unknowingly introducing what would become one of his catchphrases.
|
"Suspension Of Disbelief doesn't throw away all logic. It just allows me to believe that there are people that can run really fast or aliens that can shapeshift living among humans."
—Linkara
|
"Is there no honor among ninjas and ninja-style dancers?! Such a feud could likely result in an alliance between pirates and ninja-style dancers! I’m sorry, but I frankly think the phrase “Ninja-style Dancers” is up there among greatest comic book lines in all of history."
—'Linkara on Nightcats "ninja-style dancers"
|
"And so he upgrades his rig into a technologically advanced super-rig with radars and weapons and the like. But the most patently ridiculous part of this is the remote control he has for his truck that's inside of a silver dollar. And next he'll teach us how to put a TV remote inside of a quarter! Or how about a gun inside of a nickel!?"
—Linkara, "Top 15 WTF Moments in Bad Comics": #6: US-1's silver dollar remote control
|
"I'm looking for plot holes. I'm looking for bizarre character motivations. I'm looking for terrible art. I'm looking for the bland, the bizarre, the lazy, the insipid, the surreal! If a character starts humping another character, I'll be there! If a man is powered by cocaine, I'll be there! If a basketball player challenges a giant lizard to a fight, I'll be there! Bring 'em all on!"
—Linkara in his introduction to Atop the Fourth Wall
|
Narrator: Previously On Atop the Fourth Wall... —"Daredevil #306" review
|
Harvey Finevoice: (bored) Okay, Previously On Atop the Fourth Wall... —Countdown review Part 2
|
"Gee, it's almost as if the villainous, psychotic, manipulative, crazy-green-scientist-man who calls himself 'The Jackal' was lying or something. Who would've guessed?"
—Linkara's commentary on Maximum Clonage when the Jackal orders Spidercide to kill Kane to Kane's surprise.
|
Linkara: You know, what is it about Ancient Egyptian artifacts that they always seem to have magic powers? Think about it: Black Adam got his powers from another mystical scarab, all the mummies that pop up because of necklaces and jewels... Oh, and let's not forget about the artifact that makes you want to play card games for the rest of your life. And to get through all this crap, you have to pass insurmountable odds in Indiana Jones-esque fashion, and more than one person would die along the way. It seems to me that Ancient Egypt was a freaking death trap! Screw archaeology! Ever think there was a reason this crap was buried?! —Blue Beetle Tribute
|
So begins them (Triplicate Girl and Karate Kid) travelling around trying to find a cure for his [Karate Kid's] disease. Wait a second, I just realised something. These two are running around looking for a cure. Bob [the Monitor]'s group is running around looking for Ray Palmer. Jimmy [Olsen] and Forager are running around looking for the New Gods killer. Trickster and Piper are running around looking for a way out of their handcuffs. They should have just called this series Running Around Looking for Crap!
—Linkara, Countdown review Part 1
|
I'm not some pretty boy with marital problems. I don't have some confused psyche or unresolved parental issues. You're not dealing with a Silent Hill protagonist here! Time and again, someone got it into their head that they could defeat me. Time and again they beat me down, they knocked me out, and they tried to make me give up. You come at me with insecurity, self-doubt, and angst? You try to make me doubt who I am? I am the man who defeated Pyramid Head. I am the man who conquered Countdown. I am the man who fought off the Vohrsoth and destroyed Mechakara! I am the liberator of Kickassia! I am a Starfleet captain! I am a Power Ranger! I'm That Guy With The Hat! I am Linkara!
—Linkara, Silent Hill Dead/Alive Issue 5
|
I can't begin to imagine how anyone followed all this stuff at the time. It'd be like if I introduced plot elements in my show that somehow ended up on Spoony's show and... uh... nevermind.
—Linkara, Spiderman: Greatest Responsibility
|
I won't rest until even the shark is bored with me!
—Linkara on his Twitter
|
(after explaining Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) And yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus Conquers the Martians comic!
—Linkara in his final Christmas review of 2010
|
There are two kinds of magic in the world: Magic as a force that can grant the wondrous... and then there's narrative magic. The kind where we get the classic phrase:"It's magic we don't have to explain it".
—Linkara in his review of Superman: Distant Fires.
|
"This is Linkara, Calling Lord Vyce. If you are receiving this signal, then you may wanna take that huge-ass helmet off you head and listen for a minute. Listen, I just wanted to tell you how deeply honoured I am. You see, I was once told you were the stuff of nightmares for gods and monsters alike. And that's why I'm so honoured, you see, you've seen fit to show me your true colours-and the main one is a big bright shade of yellow, All that you see, you conquer, huh? Well, I guess you never did really set your eyes on me then, you were too busy looking the other way and running for your life. And it's a good thing, too- you've shown just how inadequate you are. You're not up to the task of facing this "Entity" you're so afraid of. Tell you what- why don't you go tuck your cape between your legs and run home, While I deal with it- after all, it's what you're good at. However, if you want to prove me wrong, you know where to find me.
—Linkara taunting Vyce, Youngblood #3
|
"Yes people, I have heard of Sonichu. I really wish I hadn't heard of Sonichu. I would be a much happier man if I hadn't."
—Linkara on Sonichu
|
I'm sorry, I didn't realize there wasn't a difference between "I do not care for this and it looks weird, but I heard a lot of people like it" and "This is the worst thing ever".
—Linkara, explaining what he said about The Maxx in response to a He Panned It, Now He Sucks backlash.
|
"Beneath the seas, beside the flame |
"The path you should have never crossed |
"The bones from hell you cannot tame —The poem of Entity
|
"'A piece of the world is missing'. It doesn't mean that it's gone... It's your NAME!!!
—Linkara, in his show's biggest Wham Line to date.
|
Linkara (voiceover): There is a sound in my nightmares. It is a hiss, a screeching of notes that comes from a game that I played as a child. It is shrill and high-pitched, grating on your soul like nails upon a chalkboard. This was not the sound of any natural creature. This is an abomination; a perversion of the programmed perfection of the world. In other times and other places and in my book, they called it 'The Lost Beast'; but to me, it shall always have a different name... —Recap Reveal
|
I am the Voiceless. —The Entity/Missing№
|
Missing№: Then welcome to my glory, hyuuumaaaan... |
(Visual Effects of Awesome ensue as he walks around Missing№/90's Kid) |
Linkara: "So go ahead and create your kingdom of the Never-Should! Let the Glitch be everything, the distortion the reality! Become everything there is down to the tiniest particle until you are literally existence itself! In the end, you'll still have the same damned problem: that's there is no challenge left- No Heaven to aspire to, and no Hell to avoid. You will live forever, alone as everything, and existence itself shall be your prison! All experiences will be a part of you; all possibilities will have been considered and completed. Every life-form, every molecule, every single Should and Never-Should and it will have all been done. Everything will be you, and everything will be meaningless. And when you do become existence -- when the definition of existence equals Missing№ -- you will scream your shrill hiss and let it vibrate along the totality of your being, When the lie of your existence is laid bare, because there is simply nothing else for you to do! |
Narrator: Previously On 'Atop the Forth Wall'... —-- Mr. T #2 Review
