Atop the Fourth Wall

I like Linkara; I think he's a very funny guy and has a pretty good story going in the show.

*waits for people to say that he needs to drop the storylines/drop (character)/stop showing Iron Liz/die.*

I like Linkara too, though I don't watch him very much, since I don't read comics. But he can be quite funny at times, and surprisingly *gasp* without cursing.

I actually liked his Power Rangers thing(because I grew up on the first 3 seasons), but then it started getting weird so I haven't been following that.

He's really ok as far as most people on CA go.

I've been watching past where I stopped watching because he got me into it again, to the point where I somehow got roped into writing for a fan audiodrama series. : \

Well I can't say he really got me into it again, cause being 6 was like 15 years ago, but he had done his research so it was informative. I just don't really care about the next seasons as they are even more ridicules than the first ones. I did watch the Mighty Morphin Movie recently with my friends for a quick laugh though - it was awesome Very Happy

AT4W is probably my favorite show, though thanks to HOPR I have been rewatching all of the Power Ranger episodes- I almost want to review every episode, but it would dig into HOPR's territory. I have a series in mind to remedy this and a few other issues, but I need a young person (read: below 18) to co-star in it.

Does this show involve a white van with tinted windows? Because I don't support that if it does.

Haha no. Basically, I want to occasionally review nostalgic things (like MMPR) without being the same old Nostalgic reviewer that NC, AVGN, Spoony and Linkara, and others I can't think of at the moment often fall into being. How to do that? Bring in a reviewer who's young enough that none of this stuff is nostalgic for them.

Oh I see, but... how would you ever make that happen? You can't just solicit kids to work with you on something that by necessity they aren't going to understand. EGM did something similar though, they took a bunch of kids and had them play classic video games. They all tore them apart and every one had a laugh.

No interest in kids. A 16 or 17 year old with a brain will suffice- hopefully someone I already know I can work with.

Hopefully there's no e-bay order for a "Free Candy" van in your future.

I keed, I keed.

I'm a huge AT4W fan. I think, much like The Nostalgia Critic, that Linkara is at his best when he has a really overwhelmingly terrible subject to play off of. While reviewers like Brad have taken turning chicken shit into chicken salad to new heights, that's a really tall order when it comes to comic books. The best AT4W reviews are of insufferable crap, as opposed to stuff that's more benignly bland or weakly written or drawn, and Linkara gives some of the best righteously indignant rants out of any of the Channel Awesome folk. JLA Act of God would be one of the best examples of this.

If I may shamelessly self promote, some of the fan art I did for Linkara is actually now framed on his wall, and is visible in a few of his more recent episodes.
