Kind of an older episode I know, but I thought this would be a good place to ask.<br /><br />A friend brought this up recently, regarding the Girl in the Gun whispering in Linkara's ear; has this always happened, or was that only after Silent Hill: Dead/Alive? I ask because he seemed to not even know of the girl's existence until then. It's gotta be kind of weird to hear a weird voice in your head every time you fired a gun, even a magic one, you know?

In fact, I'm pretty sure Insano sent Squall to kill Spoony, leading to said review in the first place (where Spoony himself was also cloned).

But there's one minor problem: If we presume "Kickassia" is Insano's canon backstory (since there are a couple other videos that suggest other origins of the character, hence the whole debate and "there is no Insano" comment in the first place), then answer me this: If Insano is a split personality of Spoony (as established in Kickassia), then how is it that much of Spoony's videos (as well as the Warrior AT4W-Spoony Experiment crossover videos) clearly show Insano and Spoony as two separate characters? It's bits like that that make people confused about Insano's continuity, though I think someone made a video detailing how all of the "Insano continuity conflicts" could be put together into one single continuity. Perhaps that should be our main resource when dealing with this.<br /><br />It's like the Constructicons of the original Transformers cartoon: several conflicting origins, but you can make them all fit together if you think about it. ...Wait, that analogy doesn't work. You CAN'T fit the three Constructicon origins together. You can fit TWO of them together, but not the third one.<br /><br />Oh, I just realized another bit that could tie AT4W into the rest of TGWTG as a larger universe: In the Star Trek: Insurrection crossover, Linkara appears on the TV against the Comicron-1 greenscreen background. So he clearly has the spaceship in other people's videos.Jarkesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-79799668725361340852012-06-11T20:07:04.339-05:002012-06-11T20:07:04.339-05:00Exiled One: It's tough to find the actual Gorc...Exiled One: It's tough to find the actual Gorch sketches online, but the DVD set of the first season of SNL has all of them except the very last one, which appeared in the first episode of season 2. (mostly to just make a joke about their fate with how infamous they were in the previous season) There were some who got along better with the Muppets than others; heck Gilda did "The Muppet Show" in season 3 and Chevy Chase did a cameo in "Follow That Bird"...and of course Steve Martin...but he was more a recurring guest on SNL so it's tough to say he counts.<br /><br />As for why I avoid talking about other things, mostly it's because I always have a means of keeping my distance on other stuff for the most part on the web. It's a personal thing honestly with the way security and such gets.

I mean, I understand why it wouldn't work on a button that says "Destroy Mechakara Forever" and that it mainly works on toys, but how far does it go there. Like, say if I used in on an action figure of Blue Beetle, would it come to life as a mini Blue Beetl with all powers and abillities and personalities as he has in the comics and cartoons? Or would it just walk and talk ala Toy Story? Or would the spell just not work at all?<br /><br />And for pictures, would the character or item pop out alive, or would it be a Harry Potter-like talking picture? Or how about the character sheet for an RPG character. Since that is a representation of a character, would the spell bring said character to life?Alex Stritarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-4885343003605413062012-06-10T15:24:39.439-05:002012-06-10T15:24:39.439-05:00It's prety simple, really:

It was never meant as a serious statement. If you believe that, you should by all means believe in Mara Wilson as a demonic being.<br /><br />True, I can't go against what Linkara considers canon. But then again, neither can you.<br /><br />Also, the fact that the Anti-Magic Field Genetator (which first appeared in a Spoony video) is even brought into play clearly points to the fact that Spoony's videos are canon to Linkara's videos (or else we wouldn't even be having this storyline to begin with). And since part of Insano's backstory comes from Spoony's videos, that means thyat Insano's backstory is canon. Couple that with the canonicity of "Kickassia", and you have the fact that a larger TGWTG universe is canon.<br /><br />So, no canonicity on Spoony's videos = no Anti-Magic Field Genetator = no storyline.<br /><br />So yes, Insano HAS a backstory. Spoony made a JOKE, nothing else.<br /><br />Also, glad to see FuegueforFrog is willing to talk about non-storyline stuff.

And insisted that his fanfiction about Linkara's Zeonizer being Tommy's Red Zeonizer was true and definite canon, even though there was absolutely NO evidence whatsoever backing this (and anyway, that theory has been jossed as of this episode anyway). AND the guy who completely misinterpreted who "Dolorem" was, and CONTINUES TO MISINTERPRET THIS, AND INSIST THAT HE'S RIGHT, EVEN THOUGH LINKARA HAS EXPLAINED IT SEVERAL TIMES.<br /><br />Yeah, Exiled One? I'm calling you out on your hypocrisy right there.<br /><br />Oh, and the whole "there is no continuity, there is only Insano" thing? That's an official statement from Spoony. Spoony, the one who CREATED THE CHARACTER. I think his stance on the character comes before Linkara.<br /><br />As for the "larger TGWTG universe," well... Linkara and Spoony's videos are definitely part of the same universe, but I'm not quite so sure on the rest of the site. And unless I've missed something, it hasn't been definitely confirmed that the 4th anniversary will feature a bunch of TGWTG villains teaming up (we know Mechakara will most likely be in it, but, again, unless I've missed something, that's all we know).Jarkesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-20993454140616807962012-06-09T07:27:47.821-05:002012-06-09T07:27:47.821-05:00Nope, that does not happen.

Several of the crossovers and tie-ins mentioned don't seem to have been intended to be part of the 'Linkara' continuity and other pieces (such as Dr. Insano) were originally created by others who were not entirely consistent about them, nor did they create them for the purpose of using them in Linkara stories.<br />Therefore I'd say that it is reasonable to expect the story to explain the Girl in the Gun (that's actually a good title or name IMO) and to properly remember previously established events when using her. However it really isn't reasonable to expect the same for Insano when Insano was created by Spoony for his videos and was not intended to be part of a proper story with careful continuity.Gyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139372297929361578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-81074259881042683242012-06-07T07:45:05.066-05:002012-06-07T07:45:05.066-05:00...
