Star Trek #2 (Gold Key) - Atop the Fourth Wall

Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, we encounter an evil mirror universe where Star Trek comics are... a bit weird.

Originally uploaded August 1st, 2011.
ORIGINAL INFO: Behold this classic tale of the starship Enterprise… and how her crew is incredibly incompetent.
RUMINATIONS: I came up with the idea for this episode two weeks before I did it and, in fact, filmed all the additional elements while I was also working on the second Rise of Arsenal episode. There was always that idea of the “mirror universe episode” thing in the back of my mind for the show, but no good reason to do it. Two things finally gave me the impetus to do it - one, finding the mirror universe gold vest on Ebay and two - rereading Comics101.com’s look at the first Gold Key Star Trek comic. Gold Key’s first issue is so far removed from Star Trek aside from character names and look that it might as well be an alternate universe version of the comic, so I figured that would make for a good way of doing the mirror universe plot.
The idea of the AI to handle Comicron One came not from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but rather the webcomic Schlock Mercenary, wherein every spaceship has an AI with their own personality and characterization, including a holographic avatar. I loved the idea for the show and thought it would add some more needed cast members who were not played by me. Since she lives an hour and a half away from me, doing voiceover was also ideal. To add onto our list of geeky influences, Nimue’s speech patterns and habit of saying what sort of statement she’s making before she speaks (Information, Speculation, Question, etc.) comes from the British sci-fi series Blake’s 7 and the artificial intelligence from that show named Zen. Obviously, with an onboard computer there would always be the possibility of her going rogue and trying to kill everyone, even putting her in the HAL 9000 appearance, but I didn’t have any definite plans there, so I decided to lampoon it in her first appearance. It might go on longer than it should, but I thought it was funny in the end.
The one change to the footage shown in the mirror theme song is that the Lord Vyce Mirrorkara encountered was pretty much blown up, as opposed to the main universe, wherein he was simply knocked out. I leave it for others to speculate how this Vyce operated, whether he was fighting the Entity or just some conqueror or someone else entirely. The more important thing is that things ended up differently, especially as Mirrorkara took over his universe’s Comicron One and planned to use it to take over the world, while the rest of his supporting cast were pretty much indifferent to the whole thing.
Mirror Pollo is, of course, played by Tom Servo. I figured it was a good opportunity to finally use the puppet properly in the show at least once until what would happen later on. The normal Pollo body was going to be put in the glass case, but it didn’t fit. As such, I decided to instead use a fan-made Pollo body that was actually made of metal. Mirror Insano is of course played by me with a blonde goatee (and those goatees are a pain in the ass to work with and feel really weird on the skin), since I knew Spoony would either be unavailable, lack the white goggles Mirror Insano has, or just that green-screening him in wouldn’t look good.
There are tiny bits of foreshadowing in the background and foreground - primarily bits of technology that would matter later, like the mobile emitter, a half-completed phaser rifle, and the aforementioned metal Pollo body, since by then I had figured out what I’d be doing after the Entity arc completed. Speaking of, this episode plants the idea that Pollo needs a new body… which he desperately did, since the thing was several years old and the paint was chipping in places.
This episode annoyed some people… not because of the Mirror Universe idea, but rather because I didn’t go far enough with Mirrorkara reviewing differently. Ironically, I deliberately chose NOT to do that since I feared viewers would hate an episode being so different, so aside from a line of dialogue here or there, I still wrote the review up as if it was a regular episode. If I ever do another mirror universe episode, I’ll make sure to correct that.
Only thing left to say there is once again Iron Liz did a great job in it, especially with her reaction to the Agonizer. The sign of her mirror duplicate being evil was that one’s love of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons, which I knew Liz HATED with a passion and could rant about it for hours.

[@Mask0fFate]

Here is my excuse for why Mirror Linkara has a spaceship: Mirror Vyce came to his universe to spread peace, since Good is evil and etcetera, Mirror Linkara saw his ship and wanted it, he attacked Mirror Vyce, they battled for I don't know how long, Vyce lost, died, and Mirror Linkara took the spoils of war.

[@DarknessIsTheTruth]

So, is there a Mirror Entity, too?

[@indy6s]

Deeth Irteen no, In this universe all 180 originally planned Pokémon were put into red and blue, thereby eliminating the Missingno glitch

[@unhackerthelaziestbastardo6083]

I mean, it kinda makes sense, except for the fact that Mirrorkara was basically the only one who was evil in this universe. Or more accurately, he's one of the few things in that universe who we have confirmation of being reversed.

[@almightylordsalamander2245]

Mirror Comicron One was caught in a time warp caused by the Tholians and-- wait a minute

[@Spike-Prime]

In Mirror Universe Soviet Russia, everything is exactly as it is with no reversals.

[@themaninblack7503]

According to Dr. Phlox Shakespeare is just as grim in both realities.

[@stakefr0mjatefarmvods534]

It's very clear Linkara is enjoying being evil. +1 for enthusiasm.

[@Rgoid]

Let me guess . . . . . . In the Mirrorverse, Dark Nights Metal ends with Barbatos defeated for good.

[@mikethegrunty5968]

I think in the mirror universe Axl Rose isn't a violent sue happy psychopath, the new 52 is BETTER than the previous DC continuity, and Rob Liefeld's work is more celebrated than Alan Moore's

[@mikethegrunty5968]

And is well groomed :P

[@SrGurkman]

Isn't Liefeld more celebrated than Moore at this point? #burn

[@mikethegrunty5968]

Not really

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

In the mirror universe Frank Miller is the most beloved writer in the industry, well known for his deep and understanding grasp of the illustrious history and culture of Islamic society. But some fans consider his comics to be too unwilling to push boundaries or offend.

[@sesfilmsllc]

And frank miller started out bad but got better thought the years.

[@colbymarin3912]

"Apparently the sound a phaser makes... is zap" I literally laughed out loud that was way more funny to me then it should have been 😂

[@Otterino]

What would anti-Linkara's versions of '90s kid and Harvey Finevoice be like?

[@kalebsantos72]

So 90s kid would be a guy who hates all things from the past an only likes new things

[@ronanthesuperginger]

Or 2000s kid

[@keelanbarron928]

Would the names change? If so then "Badvoice" has to be the name change.

[@samuelbarber4154]

Harvey's into grunge, and the idiot's Frank Sinatra's no. 1 fan.

[@taekinuru2]

80s Punk Rocker Kid and Joey Screechvoicr

[@BanditIncorporated]

Kirk "Spock! Where going into a time warp!" Spock "Going into a time warp? I cant believe my ears" Kirk "Neither can we Spock, neither can we!" Yeah I know its terrible, but there was no way I was not going to make that joke :D

[@iKillerZombie]

Bandit? What are you doing at an At4w video?

[@victorguerra9778]

well this is a surprise , a good one though

[@VeryPeeved]

a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one

[@jonahfalcon1970]

To Linkara: Regarding the "rocket propulsion would take decades to leave the Solar System". Not exactly. The reason it takes so long for ships to travel in space for us is that we don't use much propulsion and only use a relatively short burst of propulsion and use Newton to keep the ship going. The proposed ion drive will get to Mars not because it's FASTER, but because it keeps accelerating non-stop, therefore going faster and faster.

[@shadowldrago]

I love that Linkara specifically programmed Nimue to NOT turn homicidal. He's a nerd, he's seen enough sci-fi to be smart enough to avoid making any stupid decisions regarding the AI that runs a very powerful spaceship.

[@Merit2397]

This is one of Linkara's favorite episodes as well as mine. Everything of the most part went off without a hitch, plus being a Star Trek fan, I liked the TOS parallels. From how we see Comicron One at the beginning and end, (As well as in the ion storm transition effect) to even using the TOS theme at the end. Glad to see after all this time (at the time of this comment) it hasn't been copyrighted. Wouldn't mind seeing a AT4W mirror universe review in the future.

[@AT4W]

Sadly, the video HAS been claimed so I'm not making any money off of it anymore, but at least it's still viewable. =)

[@pinoypizza]

I remember during a Q&A Panel when Lewis mentioned how he would like to try giving NIMUE a human avatar form. Would be cool if that were to happen eventually.

[@Mr4thDoctor]

Ah, kind of like Cortana.

[@ryanangelastro504]

Where was it?

[@benjaythewhite]

The evil mirror universe actively enjoys reading youngblood? He must be a jolly good chap then.

[@theonetrueignus]

I know that it would have been a difficult and needless illusion to maintain for the review, but it would have been funny if the Star Trek show (and comics) in Mirrorkara's universe were actually based on the characters from Star Trek's own mirror universe, instead of the regular characters. Also, loving the use of Enterprise's mirror theme for the opening

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

The scenes relating to the Agonizer, I feel like that was a direct reference to when MST3K pulled this thing off as well X3

[@AT4W]

+Gratuitous Lurking It was, though I tried to add my own spin with the "Huh, that's actually pretty nice!" addition. XD

[@New3DSLuigi364]

The decision to make Nimue's unit look like the Hal 9000, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE DURING THAT TIME THAT VYCE WAS SCREWING WITH HER INTERFACE, she was ACTING A LOT LIKE HAL 9000, WITH HER DISABLING THE AIR SUPPLY OFTHE COMIC-CRON 1 POSSIBLY KILLING LINKARA; IT'S BRILLIANT IN HINDSIGHT, ISN'T IT?!?!?!

[@Tareltonlives]

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who loved not only Mirror Mirror, but also the MST3k homage

[@shawntherapidlyaginghipster]

Full disclosure, I first saw Wrath Of Khan when I was 7. I cried when Spock died. Hell, I get teary eyed every time I rewatch it. The music, the acting, the transition from Spock's death to Kirk's eulogy, the crane shot... it all just fits together so perfectly to create an emotional climax. Anyway, great review. One of your best episodes, man. Keep on keepin' on. S

[@KevlarNinja]

So, does this Linkara being evil in the mirror universe means he likes Rob Liefeld or is Mirror Liefeld like what Alex Ross is for us?

[@KidSnivy69]

That's a scary thought

[@KevlarNinja]

I was meaning is Mirror Liefeld actually a fantastic artist?

[@KidSnivy69]

Matt Lipton I know, and the thought of that even being a possibility scares me

[@SpeedyEric1]

I'm still waiting for MirrorKara to use more profanity on his show. =P

[@jakebryant3445]

Imagine what Mirror Angry Joe or Cinema Snob would be like

[@AndrewBullXandrew]

Love how you got a Tom Servo, I know the history just pointing out the awesome.

[@Tareltonlives]

The mirrorverse segments make this another favorite of mine

[@Ronin_Vector]

I love that mirror universe Enterprise intro

[@potatobombkyle]

MirrorKara is one of my favourite AT4W characters, he should get more work, poor guy :D

[@Lucario5197]

I choose to believe that Linkara's idea to perform the transfer while an Ion Storm is brewing is due to things that would lead into the arc after this (or the one after the next, I can't recall exactly, and I'm refusing to mention for spoilery reasons, just in case anyone is reading this and hasn't somehow seen all the episodes yet). The reason being is that, as a massive Star Trek nerd, he should know *full well* what happens when a ship attempts *anything* during an ion storm. Really, this was kind of thing was inevitable just for the hubris. Well, that or it's 90's Kid's fault for one particular reason or another. We may never know.

[@Writer10389]

Kudos on the TOS parallels. Great episode!

[@rhymebeat1142]

One thing that's clever is that Mirror!Linkara uses dark magic rather than science. Nice foreshadowing for the real source of most of Linkara's equipment.

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

For some reason, MirrorInsano's pure white outfit and heroism made me think of Lightbringer >.>

[@thegayghost872]

I'm so glad someone remembers Asimov's rules of robotics.

[@andreworders7305]

You did a good job making the intro feel like a Trek episode. I forget the name of the evil mirror universe episode though.

[@adamdavis1648]

The "Enterprise" mirror universe episode is called "In A Mirror, Darkly." The one from "The Original Series" is called "Mirror, Mirror." I don't remember the names of any of the "Deep Space 9" ones.

[@genesismultiverse4896]

You know I just realised what is evil linkara's combine harvester

[@jfdrac]

In the Mirror Universe they are entering the third term of President Rob Leifeld and VP Gilbert Gotfried

[@ripleyjlawman.3162]

Jfdrac Far Good grief.

[@jfdrac]

@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 Thats debatable

[@TheSefirosu200x]

Seriously? Not going to talk about how Kirk briefly went Nazi on that first page? "Undesirables"? No? Nothing? Okay, then...

[@MrBGS101]

Mirror Linksano needs to make a comeback.

[@TailsFan369no2]

It's kinda hard to imagine how noah would have played him

[@ryandooley2589]

I want a gun of science.

[@Tareltonlives]

Wow, a combination Mirror Mirror-Last of the Wild Horses reference for the skits. I love it!

[@MicrowavedAlastair5390]

Fun fact: If a space ship re-enters the atmosphere too slowly, it will bounce off. Something about the way gravity works.

[@RichardWatt]

That's why re-entry velocities are so important to get right when you do the maths.

[@bowenorcutt78]

So wait, if there's an alternate version of vice in that reality, would that mean that there's a potentially infinite number of the guy? Oh, the possibilities!

[@bowenorcutt78]

Building on that, imagine a universe where vice unwinds at the end of the day BY REVIEWING COMICS ON HIS OWN SHOW. And the reason he hates THAT linkara is because of something petty like he's got more subscribers, or he turned down his request for a crossover.

[@bfoot869007]

God that man's artwork is beautiful 😅 this could be my favorite episode evar!

[@richmondriddle3405]

Nice. Instead of the linkara theme, you used the mirror universe theme from the evil cpatain jonathan archer universe, where he is screwing Hoshi. Sweet. Also sweet that you have the imperial gold sash, and goatee, that spock had in the ORIGINAL mirror morror. For obvious reasons, you rule!

[@RevanNaut]

So if I think about the "His Heart is Steel" story arc: Mirror Mechakara (Who acts in alot of ways like the Prime Linkara) was a robot from an alternate universe who went to Mirror Earth to find a magic gun to help his race of kind and benevolent machines against the vile human resistance (Who are terrorists in this Mirror Universe, of course). Things did not go well between the two Kara's and a fight broke out (I'll presume Mirrorkara used a Psycho Ranger type outfit). Mirror Pollo wanted to help the Mirror Mechakara (Since Mirrorkara was an evil douche) but, I presume, Mirrorkara installed some overrides into Mirror Pollo and used those to force Mirror Pollo to access Mirror Mechakara's CPU and give Mirrorkara the chance to destroy him. Mirror Mechakara survives, of course, and is rescued and repaired by Mirror Dr Insano (Who is quite sane).

[@nathanthompson4613]

Wasn’t Mechakara from a different universe anyway?

[@TheSeptet]

There's always another alternate universe.

[@Clay3613]

"I can reason with them....with my gun."

[@MrGlenbw]

[@joshuatramel5731]

His mush stash keeps changing haha

[@DeathGodRiku]

Wait based on the alternate opening...there ARE other versions of Vyce and Mechakara and Mirrorkara killed them

[@jessaminehaak8253]

I knew the mirror universe was coming as soon as Pollo said "ion storm" XD

[@Tareltonlives]

Same!

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I remember seeing one of these comics when I was a kid. I don't remember what it was about but the cover had the characters in the hand of a giant Cyclops.

[@Pikatwig16]

A small thing I noticed, in the intro where mirror Linkara puts on his hat, you can see he's wearing glasses.

[@haileyshannon7548]

Why do they still call them earthquakes on other planets?

[@davidspring4003]

+Hailey Shannon in this case because it's an unnamed planetoid at best and "earthquake" is easier to say than "unnamed planetoid quake."

[@thegayghost872]

+Hailey Shannon "earth" as in ground or land, not just the planet.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Actually, on the moon, they’re called Moonquakes. Real thing.

[@jfdrac]

Why would that be real their is no tectonic activity on the moon it is dead

[@jfdrac]

Because we are just lazy is naming our planet Earth just literally means the ground so yeah

[@Tareltonlives]

"Perhaps I can reason with them....with my gun"

[@SpeedyEric1]

My dad has a couple of Gold Key comics; one of them being for Gomer Pyle.

[@MultiBeerme]

ATMOSPHERE! YOU HIT THE ATMOSPHERE!

[@deadaccount7520]

So a planet that's really an asteroid. Is going to go supernova. Lets just go ahead and see if we can beat that 12 parsec kessel run. Since where in this sci fi universe.

[@avengercannon]

That space ship looks a lot like a house/apartment from the inside.

[@Tareltonlives]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Mirror Mirror is a great TOS episode and The Last of the Wild Horses is my favorite Tribute to that episode.

[@Tareltonlives]

I love how you crafted an elaborate mirror universe for your own show.

[@Tareltonlives]

Liz's Kirk speech cracks me up

[@Tareltonlives]

LOL 4th edition. Every time I try to like it, I remember HEALING SURGES. HEALING SURGES.

[@almightylordsalamander2245]

So the silent hill comics are confusing af in both universes.

[@otakon17]

Am...am I the only one that wants to see DR. INSANO, CHAMPION OF SCIENCE! make a comeback? If ONLY for the music cue.

[@DianaGohan]

Heh it's ironic you're posting this again now as SF Debris just came out with his review of the original mirror mirror episode whic haven't never seen you can see the influences more clearly. Also glad if we see a mirror Linkara review it will be more different. That's what I loved about the 90's Kid episode: how different it was from regular Linkara and the standard of what I'd like from seeing someone else do the review if regular Linkara wasn't.

[@Rgoid]

1:41 Actially, Kirk was referring to him AND the Exploration Team, not necessarily including Mr.Spock.

[@spiderboy43]

Hey Linkara, if you do another review of a Star Trek TOS comic, do you think you could recreate the opening to the show while keeping the ending credits you have here?

[@samuelbarber4154]

Show of hands, who else wants a gun of science.

[@samuelbarber4154]

My head canon is that this world's Liz is Judas Liz.

[@TheSeptet]

You shall be missed, Mirror!Insano. (Personally, I prefer "Professor Sanity" but that's me.)

[@jmfs1701]

I love Mirror Mirror, a i love this Parody. I do not the new Star Trek: Discovery.

[@Tareltonlives]

Same

[@sheepinlemontrousers]

You probably won't see this, linkara, but I hope you do more of the gold key comics.

[@JaredsGaming]

Mirror Linkara likes Rob's artwork! Very Scary!

[@darkwolverine007]

Just curious casue i havent seen all the videos and all, but... Does Mirrorkara and company would (or did) appear again in ATFW?

[@AT4W]

Indeed he does in another episode! =)

[@violagreene4643]

The "gold" uniforms actually were green, the lighting conditions made them look yellow on film

[@maxmcelhannan7477]

i really the alternate version of insaneo, he's like if professor membrane were a superhero

[@AlecDraven]

16:25 "However, Spock continues to say that it's "an internal volcano that will blow the planet into a Supernova within 24 hours." So the planet is going to explode? We must grab a small child, put him in a rocket, and get him off the planet. Then he shall travel to a new world, where he will gain incredible powers and inspire the lifeforms of that world to be the best they can be.

[@michaelrodriguez7667]

Why was Mirrorsano played by Lewis instead of Noah?

[@Canadamus_Prime]

Probably because Noah wasn't available. Just a guess. Lewis would have to confirm this.

[@boobah5643]

I was really hoping Liz's stellar review was for FATE. And leave the question as to whether mirror-FATE was awesome or mirror-Liz had taste that bad. On the other hand, FATE deserves all the lack of recognition it has now and more, so...

[@PosthumanHeresy]

Wait, wait, wait. If the transporter can just not materialize someone then in the reboot universe Scotty created a weapon that can kill anyone anywhere.

[@gracekim25]

Why do I like that gold vest? 😂 14.10.22

[@jessewilley531]

NO ONE had seen Star Trek when they were working on Star Trek #1. They started work on it while When No Man Goes Before had finished production.

[@eon1014]

I wonder...did the mirror universe’s Channel Awesome also have a controversy that had it’s crew fall apart too? And if so, then was is for the exact opposite reason as our universe’s Channel Awesome? If in our universe, Linkara and the others quit the channel because the channel mistreated them...then in the mirror universe, was it the other way around? Did evil Linkara and the others get fired by the channel because they did something bad? The possibilities...

[@adamdavis1648]

If I understand correctly, good and bad tend to be reversed in the mirror universe and evil tends to win. Perhaps in the mirror universe, the only morally decent people working at Channel Awesome were the Walker brothers, Mike Michaud, Brad Jones and Justin Carmichael. And perhaps Mirror Michaud and Mirror Doug Walker tried to fire most of the reviewers for being evil, but then Mirror Linkara vaporized them with a ray gun and declared himself the new ruler of Channel Awesome ....only to then be poisoned by the women who then took over the site and is now known as Empress Iron Liz.

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

The Enterprise had rockets in the episode "The Cage". Spock ordered "we are switching too rockets".

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

I am an apologist, of course I am going to get technical and pedantic. Time Barrier does not necessary mean time travel. Earlier in the Episode Pike had said "Time warp factor" Which I think is the full version of what we usually hear when they say Warp Factor, they just don't say the Time part to save time. But I think the Time Barrier is referring to a speed limit ships had back when the Columbia launched where they could only go so fast because of time dilation. This backed up because he prefaced the breaking of the time barrier with the phrase "You will not believe how quickly we can get back" No error is to small, I explain all on my channel.

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

How fast only means speed, time travel does not get you places quicker. Warp Factor is shorter then saying Time Warp Factor, so I have no idea what you are saying about that. I've never heard the phrase Time Warp, in reference to warp drive, source please. Space Warp could just be another term for the drive system. One thing you need to learn about Apologetics is, all that matter is how you can make things appear constant. I have not seen anything you said that really makes a problem with my interpretation.

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

you really need to take a chill pill, this is all for fun. I just like to argue like an apologist. I thought it was well understood that traveling threw time is different then changing your location in space.

[@Tareltonlives]

Bad terminology and even if those were real rockets, I suspect they were refitted by the time of the other episodes. Remember-Pilot episode

[@Tareltonlives]

It's probably a colloquialism-like calling a non-aquatic warhead a torpedo, or like everything in Star Wars (where lasers aren't lasers, lightspeed isn't lightspeed, and lightsabers aren't either)

[@TheSirenNymph]

Wow Pollo is a traitor here (by calling Dr. Sano) and in Mechakara's world

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

It's the child of of Zen and DECA!

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

SO mirrorkara is reading Comics from the unmirrored universe? As his Kirk would look like him... ;)

[@ianfontanet4230]

If there were a mirror version of Avgn, he would instead reviews and rants on good games, while he enjoyed playing bad games, like the ones by Ljn. And the mirror version of Nostalgia Critic would instead enjoyed watching terrible movies, while he reviews and rants on good movies.

[@Smartalic10]

6:30 a giant cannibal plant...so does it eat other plants?

[@JaredsGaming]

I love the fact that even though he says he has a review to do, he exits the room.

[@JaredsGaming]

Meanwhile during the intro: Mirror Linkara: Hey, wait a second why am I leaving! You two beat it!

[@stephenquinn7931]

Since this is evil linkara suddent he love superman distant fires

[@Tareltonlives]

Do asteroids even have molten cores?

[@thegloriouswizard5270]

Wait. Wouldn't Mirror Linkara LIKE Distant Fires? ...........I am confused.

[@Tareltonlives]

Even insane evil people have standards

[@Takao0815]

lange nicht so gelacht

[@davidspring4003]

so...wait...is there a version of Lord Vyce who's dead?

[@gracekim25]

Yes

[@bloodstoneore4630]

the scientific inaccuracy is painful but still, I want to read 50 shades of pluto

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

He has to stay on a leash and act like a dog all the time. Even when he sees Goofy acting human right there

[@Conflict-ff5pi]

my question is rob liefelds artwork actually good looking in that universe or is it that the people have different tastes? Things like this confuse me in mirror universes.

[@GalanDun]

+Sci-Fi Fiend So, CIvil War was a shit concept that ended up excellent in Mirror Universe?

[@cobrasphere9760]

And the Mirror-Holy Terror would be considered as the Citizen Kane of comics instead of Watchmen.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

The opening credits showed that the comics are the same, but the reaction is different. Specifically it showed the “goddamn Batman” panel and called it “genius”. The books are the same, the reception changed.

[@jackfoxx6351]

Is Evil-linkara left handed?

[@michaelrodriguez1676]

Why does Mirrorkara act like Linkara during the review?

[@AT4W]

At the time, the thought process was that people wouldn't like it if it was too far off than the usual. Most people ended up asking the same as you as a result - why wasn't he doing it any differently? XD

[@peterdoa1]

tom servo from mst3k

[@davidmelon9409]

So... Linkara becomes Tom Strong?

[@RichardWatt]

I'm thinking Boris Johnson, but with about 1/5th the body mass and a lot more intelligence.

[@zoesoundglave3897]

evilkara likes young blood?!

[@dianevanhoozer6071]

My thoughts on this review can be summed up by this: 4:57

[@HALchannel108]

SERVOOOOOOO

[@legomaniac213]

Even in the mirror universe, the Silent Hill comics still suck

[@captainjackharkness2136]

Expect for the ones that don't.

[@Monkofmagnesia]

Am I the only one who misses Liz?

[@KidSnivy69]

I miss Liz 😞

[@ilovehertodeath]

Well, she didn't make this show great, Linkara did.

[@KidSnivy69]

That's not what I meant. I do come here for Linkara and his reviews of comics, however whenever he and Liz were on screen they were awesome!

[@ilovehertodeath]

KidSnivy69 Honestly I've never watched her videos. It's not that I disliked her, I just wasn't interested.

[@KidSnivy69]

Takaithepanda Oh neither, but again that's not what I was talking about

[@kingofthegundam7974]

I miss her too.

[@TheMajesticJunkyard]

Uh. Gold key?

[@thedenmeister6414]

Gold Key was a comic company from the 60s through the 70s. They made licensed comics. Like Loony Toons, Battle of the Planets, Starblazers, etc.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

DenMon 2019 I bought a Gold Key Star Trek comic way back when.

[@thedenmeister6414]

Jonah Falcon I have a bunch if the Disney, Loony Toons, and Battle of the Planets comics.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

DenMon 2019 That Trek comic was the only Gold Key comic I bought, tho. I think it might have been #1, too.

[@thedenmeister6414]

Jonah Falcon Two things 1. If you still have you could probably sell it. 2. I just found those in a box that I bought at a garage sale for 4 bucks.

[@TheSefirosu200x]

I don't play DnD so I don't get the horrified faces at her saying 4th Edition is the best. How can any of them be the best or the worst? They're all the same game, right?

[@christopherb501]

"Editions" of the game are not mere rules clean-up or flavor expansions/amendments; they are entire rules overhauls, and often tonal ones too. While they typically have rules foundations in common and design tropes, i.e. d%, they can often wind up radically different for whole hosts of reasons. 4th Edition was a highly controversial one for many reasons, and even if it weren't, the characters were aghast as the figure in question was known to be vehemently distasteful of 4th.
