I know you said you read more DC than Marvel in the past at one point, but are just not any bad enough Marvel events to warrant you reviewing them?"<br /><br />Looking back to the introduction video, I think it's because most Marvel events suck ass because of continuity issues (like everyone acting horribly out of character in Civil War, the avalanche of stupid in One More Day, the heavy reliance on past events in House of M and Secret Invasion, etc) and he doesn't review based solely on continuity. <br /><br />DC events suck ass more because of being really godawfully BAD, and the continuity in DC events are not as integral to the story points or their badness. To put it simply, you can review a DC event and show how terrible it is with just a Prologue video to explain the characters and plot points without launching into huge explanations every time you come upon something that sucks. With Marvel events you really can't do that, because the continuity is the whole point of the event. <br /><br />I think that's why the Ultimates can be reviewed — they don't have enough continuity to lock up the plot points. If Linkara tried to review, say, Civil War, the entire thing would consist of him going "WRONG! (cite comic from eight years ago proving wrongness), *turn page* WRONG! (cite comic from twelve years ago proving wrongness) *turn page* NO! (cite comic from five years ago proving contradiction)"...you see what I'm getting at?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-1820397226722361242011-05-16T11:47:34.045-05:002011-05-16T11:47:34.045-05:00RISE OF ARSENAL YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEESSSSS...RISE OF ARSENAL YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />You are so awesome.
