Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this Patreon-sponsored episode, Linkara looks at the third volume of the musical wizard comic Phonogram!

Originally released January 10th, 2017.
ORIGINAL INFO: Don't listen to a screen when it starts talking to you! ...wait...

[@johnalogue9832]

Radioactive had a weird music video. Illegal muppet fighting wasn't what I had in mind when I heard "it's a revolution I suppose".

[@jfdrac]

Run by La Bamba himself ....and fought off by a Baywatch girl lol

[@9Godslayer]

I like the concept of Phonomancers. It would be interesting to see what would happen with cultures where music is integral to their identities, like the Irish or the Africans.

[@o76923]

This comic seems like it's the kind of thing that would be super emotionally resonant with its target audience and incomprehensible to outsiders. That's not a bad thing, the kind of stuff that moves someone to their core is going to be deeply personal. It's just that this sort of thing has to be close to impossible for any outsider to understand. Kudos to Linkara for recognizing that and addressing it in his review.

[@angrybrony]

jeezus haven't seen chins this sharp since Code Geass

[@videtowitelpavo]

angrybrony watch kaiji then

[@kimifw58]

You should read some yaoi. Or at least look at it.

[@Pinkanator]

Huzzah! More Yaoi!

[@TheCountOfMommysCrisco]

You spelled Aeon Flux wrong.

[@samoli11]

Am I seriously the only one who, upon seeing the word chins in that comment, immediately thought "Transformers Animated!"?

[@professorBofFPU]

I feel like Claire is the shadow world version of Emily, and Emily needs to accept her in order to be able to summon her Persona.

[@retrofan93]

Love this idea! I wonder what her Persona would be.

[@emiyakiritsugu3120]

Damn it, Linkara. When you pronounced 'Kieron Gillen' at around ten seconds into this video, I thought you were saying 'Karen Gillan' and my eyes widened greatly as I said incredulously, "What? Seriously? Karen Gillan...? She made a comic? I'll have to check that out" On the plus side, I now know who Kieron Gillen is and might check out his work in the future.

[@gabisyderas1855]

"destroy people who disagree with our music taste by being better?" BY GOD ITS THE 4CHAN MU BOARD

[@minervaalexia6074]

Didn't see that coming. I like the twist! Edit: though, I still think that the Entity is inside Linkara, and Vyce is still trying to kill it. Still, I like this new interpretation of the prophecy.

[@kkentertainment5279]

J.M. Alexia well if my Vyce is an alternate universe version of Linkara theory is correct it could still be, think about it, Linkara means Vyce, but Lewis could mean Linkara

[@dukespubber741]

I'm with you on the Weird Al thing. By the time I actually heard a Lady Gaga song, I had listened to "Leather Pants" and "Pharaoh's Throne" hundreds of times. Also, I now associate "Take on Me" with Ninja Sex Party. XD

[@Shiirow]

how about Brooklyn Rage.

[@tyrant-den884]

Shiirow it's just not quite as good.

[@Missing-Peace]

Same

[@Moonbeam143]

I love NSP's cover.

[@epicgam2317]

The NSP cover is gold.

[@Arsio12]

I heard Take On Me without watching the music video. I thought it was catchy and a song that while the lyrics wasn't anything that stood out, the music itself (the instrumental if I'm not clear) was still incredibly memorable and something I would recognise immediately. After seeing the music video though how memorable that song became probably multiplied by two or more, since not only was the music video incredibly pretty and sticks out even amongst modern music videos, but it adds a story where the song alone had none.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Yeah, "pretentious" pretty much describes this entire comic...

[@1987MartinT]

I hate it when a person's messed up and people say: "Oh, it's because they've read The Lord of the Rings." or "It's because they play video games." or "It's because they play roleplaying games." or "It's because they listen to [insert music genre name here]." etc. If a person's messed up it's because they're messed up. Blaming it on random things is just fearmongering.

[@roguishpaladin]

This isn't completely right. Yes, the usual "A person's messed up and they play video games, so the video games must have caused it," is indeed incorrect. That's just something called the fundamental attribution error. However, media does contain themes, and people absorb those themes when they absorb media (especially when they do so uncritically). For example, 80s cartoons are notorious for being a very black-and-white view of the world - there's inherently good people and inherently bad people. Couple that with the 80s tendency to have death be the only solution for bad people and you end up with a very stark world view. People aren't born bad - they're molded that way by what they experience in their lives and what they're exposed to. But this is true for movies, television, and books as well - a person who buys into The Godfather probably has a more positive opinion about pursuing violent solutions than one who doesn't.

[@jfdrac]

Honestly before this I had NEVER heard something blamed on LOTR lol...maybe that was more a 70s thing...even though this was written recently

[@G1megatron]

An example of a music video that can alter a song that comes to mind is the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt"

[@oblivious8868]

To be fair, it's very different simply because Cash is singing it, since a man in the twilight of his life changes the song a lot.

[@CactusJackIV]

Dang you do such great work, it comes out looking so clean. You must have a ton of light melting your face off and spend a long time editing. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into each episode. I am kind of a new comer(about 6-9months) Found out you had your own badass place. From BloodRayne on the NC's channel. Sorry for the pointless story, just keep up the great work, and try not to work too hard!

[@AT4W]

Thanks and glad you enjoy the show! ^_^

[@CactusJackIV]

I have gone back and watched many of your older episodes(love the storyline in the fore/backround) Thank you for taking time to write a random dude. Made my day!(did when you wrote the other time also)

[@lexluthor8883]

Max Power Have done the same thing after "Abandon Ship... Everyone get to the Vigilant. Comicron One is going to crash... Abandon Ship." I have goosebumps right now thinking about it.

[@SirAsdf]

I've gotta wonder how many people who watch the intro have no idea who Gary Brodsky is.

[@AT4W]

There will be a reminder of who he is in a few months. =)

[@thefandomconnoisseur8518]

Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall sweet! i look forward to the intense amount of suck.

[@TheSkully343]

All you need to know is that he's not the smartest.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

I *wish* I didn't know who Gary Brodsky is...

[@roguishpaladin]

@@TheSkully343 That's not completely true. The fact that he's the son of Sol Brodsky is relevant as well.

[@punkrockbttrfly]

If it helps, I love Take On Me, and I've never seen the video. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back under the rock I've spent the past 20 years living under with my video games and Doctor Who audio dramas.

[@oblivious8868]

Took me years to see video as well; it's a comfy rock, isn't it?

[@Rhomega]

I loved a-ha's Take On Me before I saw the video. It's a very memorable and rightfully classic song.

[@iKillerZombie]

40:17 Finally, we're getting somewhere!

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Merry Entity-mas.

[@TheSkully343]

*Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan*

[@homuraakemi103]

Yup. Vyce has been taking lessons from Ganon in how to hijack the plot...

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Seriously, major progress.

[@deborahingle2301]

Yeah, now I can't wait to see the next storyline episode! I wonder where Linkara will take this?

[@RobynRLiden]

Wow she must be THE MOST interesting main-protagonist i've seen since i saw that moldy bread slice earlier today!

[@MiscellaneousSoup]

In terms of good Image comics, I don't read a lot of productions from the company, but I absolutely love Skottie Young's I Hate Fairyland. I've been a huge fan of his ever since I saw his Marvel variant covers a few years ago. Reading it was a great decision.

[@PaxtheDreamer]

29:46 has always and will always be the moment I remember most from this, it's such a genuinely powerful moment and a GREAT exchange.

[@ZC-Infinity]

About the opinion on Take on Me without seeing the video, when I first heard the music, I felt it was... meh. I mean, it was fine, I have a weakness for 80s synth rock, but, strangely enough, it gave me strange perceptions of ugly oranges and pinks and such. When I listen to music, I don't see actual images most of the time, just emotions and abstract thoughts, especially depending on when and where I listen to it. I don't know how Take On Me gave me those thoughts, but something about it just screamed "cheese" and "kitch." But when I saw the music video, I was blown away! Suddenly a whole new artistic level was thrown in, where the music was perfectly timed with the action and the originality of the video flowed into the surrealism of the song, creating a wonderful, irresistible mixture! So the music video actually turned a song I heard and then immediately forgot I heard into one of my favorite songs of all time! Same with I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness. If the visuals emphasize the song, it makes both 100x better! On the opposite side of the spectrum, though, I used to like A-Ha's followup single The Sun Always Shines On TV and Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, but then I saw the disturbing and depressing music videos of both and now I want to stay as far away from both as I can...

[@mattwo7]

Aww Todd's dog is so adorable and looks so happy! Oh right, running for the hills from the music criti- Wait, I criticize music sometimes, does that make me one of them?

[@Jessi2222]

I would have loved to see Todd's reaction to that small clip request from Linkara. 'Hey if you don't mind could you send me a short video of you sleeping in your bed? Thanks, you're the best!'

[@rodimusrider8798]

Vycie is gonna LOVE that little tibit of info

[@gunmunz]

As a power metal fan I've never had a moment of the music video changing the meaning of a song. Power metal is usually about epic tales of heroism and triumph in battle(real or fictional) or making your stand against immersible odds. live or die you've made your mark. If anything the music video gives more context as well as a visual to the epic music

[@perryleblanc4299]

i might actually get in to this series. it seems pretty interesting

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

omg he todd cameo was so perfect

[@smjaiteh]

Yeah, this would be a Steven Moffat character concept.

[@KingBronzeL]

I love the new intro. I also couldn't help but notice a certain digivice sitting next to a certain digimon. Nice decoration choices Linkara.

[@Shiirow]

Its not hard to summarize Degrassi. Its pretty much "Hunger Games + Final Destination + Dawsons Creek = Degrassi." Its fun to see if in this episode the characters come out unscathed either emotionally, physically or psychologically. If they ever did an in-character reunion special it would be more like getting a bunch of Vietnam veterans together to reminisce about the war than a collection of high school graduates. They all had PTSD by the end of the show.

[@KarmicBead]

The King of Worms still manages to terrify me.

[@sasusakufangirl]

I agree with you - it would be interesting to see a study about how music and music videos interact and affect each other :) Two things related to that train of thought (kinda): 1) I actually heard a-Ha's song "Take on me" looong before watching the movie - mainly due to the fact that I was born in 1991 and a lot of the music videos I watched were shown on German (and sometimes French) TV (I'm from Denmark). I remember that the intro to the song always made me want to dance and that the song made me happy - I would try to sing along as well; even on the iconic intro. To me the song has always been memorable because of the unique intro (and when it's repeated later in the song) - the lyrics themselves don't stand out that much in my opinion, but the intro beat does! When my mom showed me the video some years later it just made the song even better for me (^_^) 2) I thought "So what" was a song about independence as well - I didn't even know there was a video until watching this video (in 2019!) (-_-)''' I hope this answers some of your questions. Please keep making awesome content like this - it makes me happy to watch you rage on bad comics :) PS: Please excuse any spelling or grammar errors (because poor literacy ;)) - English is not my native language.

[@Jessinking]

THIS IS HILARIOUS. i'm into music a lot and brit pop so i wanted to see an example of it...honestly it is prentensious in the writing just like you said i'm side eyeing a lot of the intro convos.

[@ronnielane8985]

I feel like not explaining magic works here a lot better because it's tied to music and emotion. It's subjective and it works because it's about the emotional reality.

[@bthsr7113]

I would defend the whole "it only has to make sense to me" since their powers are based heavily on their emotions, so it's entirely possible that your perception and mental state determine how you tap into that power. The reason I'm not defending her is because everyone in this is a little obnoxious at best, and she is not the best. Also, the biggest hole in the theory is how there can be an overarching magic system that unifies all the personal ones without being almost useless for explanation or balance control. Though everyone being self-taught could lead to consistent elitism, and since you shape your own powers, a very competitive environment sine it reflects on you.

[@andreworders7305]

As someone who heard take-on me long before seeing the music video, it is definitely still memorable, especially the bridging keyboard bit.

[@Gungelion]

Separating yourself does nothing but give you more to argue over

[@Headbanger142]

Ha ha, Looks like I'm not the only one who enjoys reading the closed captions on the television. :)

[@TwilightRogue15]

+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I've listened to oldies since birth and I haven't seen a single music video until I was in 11th grade, and still, I'm not much into them with a few exceptions. As someone who listened to Take On Me a lot in my early life and not knowing that it even had a video until my second year of college, I can tell you that I loved the song-particularly for the energy of the music juxtaposed with the mellowness of the singer's voice, all coming to a head when he raises his pitch to bring your ears back to focusing on the music. The music->lyrics->music focus of the song is pretty rare, then and today. The music video is really cool and one of my favorites (with Video Killed the Radio Star along with it), but I don't always associate the song to the video. In fact, I don't think about the video unless it's playing at the time. (As for the 'original' music video...I wasn't aware there was a different one.) So, that's only one man's experience, but I hope it sates your curiosity a bit.

[@benjaminrubin2178]

8:30 Don't forget "F*ck the Pain Away", which was in the Lost in Translation movie, and "The Boys Wanna be Her",which is the theme for Samantha Bee's show.

[@skyerei190]

Linkara...thanks to you i saw the mix of terror and wonder of the star fleet music video. Just....thank you. I needed to see this today

[@Epicman2010]

Whenever I find them talking about giving half her personality and choosing which half, I keep thinking of the cheesecake from friends. I think I might just want some cheesecake.

[@Tricob1974]

Excellent upload! I admit I haven't followed any of the newest episodes lately, nor those from Stoned Gremlin Productions. But this video was a great one to get back to the AT4W series. :-)

[@SithLordMalco]

One day i will get enough money and put in a request for JoJo: Phantom Blood (First Chapters)..One day. Anyway looking foward to seeing where the storyline is going

[@sunnylovett5533]

Cool story bite. Looking forward to turtles. The whole 90s Kid thing is very interesting, especially given that he was blown up months before this story-line started, really has a lot of possibilities.

[@DigiRangerScott]

Did I just notice the new intro? I don't quite remember it being in last week's ep. Maybe I was looking away

[@AT4W]

Nope, just introduced here.

[@brownwindedangel]

Scott Sandler it's pretty sweet.

[@New3DSLuigi364]

That is a VERY Awesomesauce New Intro you Made here, Linkara!! I LOVE IT!!

[@1rhpsfan]

I always liked this idea,always changing ever so often, will be doing the same with (Hope it will be soon.)"Weekly Fail Theater".

[@DigiRangerScott]

1rhpsfan I'm looking forward to the new Nostalgia Critic intro in February. You'll notice a lot of it is featuring everyone else, especially a runthrough of cameos during the last 5 seconds or so

[@altejoh]

New intro, yay! Not that there was anything wrong with the old one, mind, but it's exciting to see something new ^_^

[@1987MartinT]

I just realized that Phonomancers could be one of the adept types in Unknown Armies.

[@ariannewingard1660]

This comic book sounds interesting ,but at the same time, I want to punch the protagonists in the face .

[@LupineShadowOmega]

The story segment was great Linkara. Keep up the good writing.

[@aarengabriel8106]

Now that I've seen you reviewed a Kieron Gillen comic, I'm more convinced of pledging The Wicked + The Divine once I get some money of my own.

[@CazTheGamerGuy]

10:28 Hard at work on the Top 10 Best Hits of 2016, from the looks of it. Seems like it's going pretty well!

[@MyMagnificentOctopus]

You mention Grant Morrison, as - though he didn't write this - this work still seems to incorporate what I like, and what I hate, about him. There is a definite Morrison feel to this. And that brings the good (a certain energy even in relatively slow paced works, tremendous creativity, and a willingness to run with wild ideas [probably why he does silver age pastiches so well]) and the bad (fixation on personal fetishes [Morrison's magic, this comic's music], pretentiousness, tendency toward navel gazing, and a habit of mistaking confusion for depth of message). So, yes, there is something very Morrison-like about this.

[@foxgamer01]

An interesting route you're taking your storyline in, Linkara. While I could see Vyce becoming the new Entity, I don't see him as the main antagonist here (the Freddy figure). Pleas hear me out as I explain why. The reason why I don't see Vyce and the Freddy figure as the same is that, simply, Vyce is just too straightforward with fighting his enemies and getting to his goals. He doesn't mess around or try to play with them and, even when he does, it's always inadvertently (like with how he inadvertently made Linkara think that, when he took Pollo's new body at the His Blue Soul arc, he was Mechakara). Heck, that's the whole reason for his calling Linkara 'champion', not because he's a worthy opponent, but because taking him (and others) out will be the fastest way of bringing the world to its knees. The only thing I can think of where he deliberately mess with Linkara was with the 'A Story of Magic' story arc, and even then it's more of Mechakara idea. The Freddy figure, on the other hand, played around with Linkara. Like how, back at October 2015 he made Linkara think he slashed his face when he didn't and how he referred to his battle as a game. Or how about that mysterious chess match Linkara is playing where black seems to be moving by themselves. Or how about October 2016, with the spirits. The only straightforward thing he did (if he did it) was taking down Comicron One and even then, it's an obvious piece to take out of the way considering how powerful it is. Unless living as pure data for so long affected Vyce's thinking and actions to be more like the Entity, I don't see him and the Freddy figure as the same.

[@runeanonymous9760]

Hmm, my theory was that The Entity had latched onto and stuck itself in Linkara's brain- that being the reason that the King of Worms died.

[@SparkyUpstart]

Forgot I'd patron requested this episode years ago until just now for some reason haha. In hindsight it definitely wasn't as "easy to jump into" as I'd suggested back then...but I'm glad I pitched it anyway, and I like the conclusion Linkara came to at the end. And having a storyline piece in it was the icing on the cake!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

I don't know if anyone noticed, but when Linkara was talking about the King, I think it was referring to Michael Jackson. He was extending his shimmering glove hand. Also, when I see that, I'm reminded of Videodrome, only by an image something unnatural coming out of a TV.

[@thatbrowncoatedwhovian4564]

This comic series looks up my alley

[@twig8523]

Rewatching old At4w, & now I've got "Shake Ya Dicks" stuck in my head... Thanks Linkara! 👍

[@qwellen7521]

I don't think this book would be for me ether. I'm pretty music illiterate so most of it would fall on deaf ears. Its interesting how somethings how different a creators indie work is to their big two (Marvel & DC) stuff. For example i love Matt Fractions Hawkeye run, but tried his image series ODY-C and it didn't click at all for me. That being said, Modern Image is how a started comic reading, with the walking dead and the exceptional SAGA by Brian K.

[@undead923]

I’d rather go back to having Grant Morrison’s interpretation of music being able to demolish evil gods in a metaphysical space

[@berserksamurai]

Kieron Gillen? Pretentious? you don't say!

[@BionicleGio22210]

love the new intro. also, vice becoming the very thing he swore to destroy, irony at its finest

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

Ok now I want to see a movie adaption of this comic book....preferably animated

[@akba666]

Wicked + Divine really is a big improvement over this

[@anneadler8944]

I agree (: I like the whole idea of gods as celebrities

[@potatoradio]

[@andreworders7305]

Good review, I liked what you did with it. Also I really liked that closing line for Erin's own review. Good work all around, can't wait to see what you do with the storyline. Must say the new characters seem fun.

[@kirabrylow4834]

Awesome new opening sequence!

[@pashlyn]

I've been waiting for a review like this for awhile

[@Dynaman21]

Jesus this comic is pretentious. Maybe I missed something in earlier volumes but...wowza.

[@2wingo]

The first two are also pretentious as fuck, but taken together there's a reoccurring theme across all three that the characters' pretensions are just excuses they cling to because they're too afraid to grow and chance as people, and eventually giving up their phonomancy is a sign that they're finally putting away childish things.

[@gregdeandrea1450]

You know, that's all well and good, but we still have to spend a comic book with these fuckheads. Fine, they're pretentious, that's the point, buuuut why am I reading when I hate everyone?

[@jfdrac]

@@gregdeandrea1450 And that is the problem with so many "deep" comics.....they go so much into their philosophy that they forget that the characters are just talking heads and dont give us a reason to care

[@matthiasjagdm3949]

Yeah! A fresh episode

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

Oh wow, that theory I had way back in the evil nimue arc is actually happening. I had actually given up on that possibility.

They were introduced over a year ago in the Power Man and Iron Fist #79 episode. There's even a link to it at the end of the video. =)

[@theomiossec1482]

Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Simple question: Did you read "Saga" by Brian K. Vaughan ? Or any of his work ? If it is, what do you think ?

[@AT4W]

Nope, sorry.

[@theomiossec1482]

Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall it's okay, I was just wondering. ☺

[@TevyaSmolka]

personally in my opinion the only image comics i do read is kirkman's invincible series and Spawn and some savage dragon

[@gabrielpetricevic6606]

Tevya Smolka Invincible is amazing

[@sofiamatos8297]

You should read Gillen and Mckelvie's take on Young Avengers Volume 2. It's definitely different from other superhero stories. Lot's of references to music and pop culture and existential dilemma's such as did Wiccan use his powers unknowingly to make Hulking fall in love with him? It's also a big turning point for Loki as a character as he goes through his own identity crisis.

[@rozz6398]

I'm going to have to go back and watch every episode to get that last part, aren't !?

[@taekinuru2]

rozz6398 Just binge through it all, will only take a few allnighters

[@danieldb631]

Man, I've missed a LOT of this show. Comicron 1 going down and 90's kid doing weird stuff. How far back do I need to backtrack in order to get up to speed on what's been going on with the side plot stuff? As for the comic: if you are totally a horrible person, what's the point in splitting up your personality? On that note, what's with the trend of making the "hero" character unlikable or bland? Seems like a lot of that is going around these days.

[@AT4W]

You could just check the Storyline playlist to see what you've missed. ^_~

[@smallshortcake]

!!!hey heads up, this is a seriously big trigger warning for self harm, self harm scars, and attempted suicide!!! the time stamp first talking about it is here from 5:34 to 6:14 and is talked about while showing the prep work for said suicide attempt from 27:08 to 27:18 there are scars shown here from 13:45 to 15:05 !there is a suicide attempt (with visuals of bleeding cuts) 28:25 to 28:36 and it's shown again in full at 29:53 to 30:03 ! just putting this out there as a warning, I know this video is old but I was going through a bunch of videos that I didn't watch and not having these warnings did throw me in for a loop and trigger my self harm urges again, I luckily did not relapse but I thought is would be good to have a warning in the comment section regardless stay safe out there y'all, love you! ^-^ now if you excuse me, I'm going to go watch cute cat videos and share funny memes with my friends Edit: I'm so sorry I forgot one timestamp also discussing suicide in the original comment, I wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders when I was originally looking for the timestamps but it's fixed now!

[@l0stndamned]

Are these characters supposed to come across as pretentious unlikeable jerks? This is a genuine question as they come across that way, but I'm not sure if that is part of the themes or just how they're written. Static bikers vs dancing zombies would be a big improvement.

[@ErichoTTA]

Wow, great analysis.

[@MoffMuppet]

As someone who heard "Take on me" before he saw the music video... I thought it was a catchy romance song, possibly about heavy petting.

[@toontoosh]

wow. was introduced to this duo on wicdiv and yeah. def an improvement from this

[@ProfessorH]

dear lord the club scene i got into means i do get a ton of the song/band references.

[@homuraakemi103]

Unless it's more misdirection...Yeah, Vyce is Ganondorf. What else is new?...

[@shadowlinkbds]

Homura Akemi Well all Vyce needs is an "alternate form" like Ganondorf is for the pig and yeah. Pretty much the same.

[@homuraakemi103]

So I assume the whole "living data" thing is just a footnote to you, then...

[@shadowlinkbds]

Homura Akemi Or maybe he's more of like Sigma from Megaman X instead of ganondorf. Sigma became living data/virus in the series and so did Vyce. Thoughout the x series Sigma keeps coming back but in different bodies/robotic forms just like Vyce is now. So he's not actually Ganondorf he's really Sigma.

[@issamohmoud7066]

I enjoyed this review

[@lexxishi5305]

As someone who isn't really a music fan, the thing I enjoyed most about this video was Linkara doing Michael Jackson voice. XD

[@Jaytheradical]

Kohl looks like a thin, tall Cinema Snob from around the time the comic would have been written, and it's freaking me out.

[@KubatheChangeling]

You know, every time I see Sarris, I suddenly think and see her as Bulma instead. Consider the voice actor for Sarris is the same person who voice Bulma in DBZ Abridged.

[@shadowlinkbds]

Well that's another thing I'm going think about every time I hear take on me which is an awesome song btw that I would recommend everyone to listen who hasn't listen to it already. The others being the actual music video, that one scene in family guy where chris was in the grocery store, and metal gear solid 5.

So basically this series is JoJo's Bizarre Adventures that occasionally gets into My Immortal territory (okay not nearly that bad ,but still)

SpookyRoseVA None of the fun of JoJo, or the interesting characters, or the posing.

Where are you getting JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from?

[@TheProfessor529]

Yeah, if the music references were an actual plot point and not just set dressing. And if you replaced all of the Japan with England.
