This really feels like the wrestler version of the Avatar (as in The Goddamned Avatar of Ultima)and it's actually a bit more interesting than the Avatar for its added complexity and the making up of a new word. <br /><br />The abundance of text would actually be something of a plus for me since I don't really see the point in pictures for comics, it just removes the power of imagination but the text does seem like an idiot whose read a dictionary going 'See, I can use long words' as opposed to me, the idiot who reads tv tropes and goes 'See aren't long words really cool?'<br />Alexander Gordon Jahanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675324400472067460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-12472742454583411862011-02-18T20:30:53.950-06:002011-02-18T20:30:53.950-06:00I don't know if I said this before, but this p...I don't know if I said this before, but this probably has to be one of my favorite reviews you've ever done.

I don't want to imagine if he actually made more.<br /><br />This episode is one of the best episodes ever -- with reviewers from Channel Awesome crossing over into Spoony Experiment/Atop the Fourth Wall. The ending where the entire staff beats up Dr. Insano (NOBODY RAPES SANTA ON OUR WATCH! GET HIM!) is definitely one of my favorite scenes.<br /><br />Looking back, this is where all the multiverse-related epic plots started -- Mechakara, Dr. Linksano, and Lord Vyce, all spinning out of this story.Mingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-46416306001289664952009-11-15T20:40:27.387-06:002009-11-15T20:40:27.387-06:00I feel better now.I feel better now.Evilkritternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-54631693895903598112009-11-15T20:39:29.509-06:002009-11-15T20:39:29.509-06:00WHO, THE FARK, THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA???

Die ! Die for Warrrior !<br /><br />I'm sorry, but I think my soul just skronked itself. This...THING has turned me into a Justifier. It just demonstrates how undescribably horrible and incompetent the human imagination can get. <br /><br />I can't believe it is possible for a human being to write such nonsensical, pseudo-philosophical, pompous bullshit. And I can even less believe that a human being could publish it.<br /><br />You know what the worst part is ? I watched this twice, and on the second viewing, I started actually MAKING SENSE out of Warrior's gibberish. I'm gazing into the abyss here, folks...and it's mostly just clichéd rambling about the value of self-confidence, and how doubt, popularity or the SYSTEM (dun dun duuun) can undermine your spirit. So it's not madness incarnate, it's just some idiot wrapped in his own self-importance. Who knew ?<br /><br />Anyway, great review, Linkara. You do a wicked Doctor Insano, the parallel reviewing universes were a mindblowing idea ("I'm adorable but alone..." HA !), and Spoony is absolutely hilarious when he imitates the Warrior. My inexistent French hat's off to you two, messieurs !<br /><br />PS : it's the strangest thing, but I think my roommate might be your long-lost twin brother. I mean he has exactly the same face and expressions as you...it gets really apparent when you do the Insano...JiBéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696509261971659257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-36017599410939008522009-05-25T07:34:33.194-05:002009-05-25T07:34:33.194-05:00For the record, the WWF didn't have "writers" back...For the record, the WWF didn't have "writers" back when this was written; storylines came from the wrestlers and Vince McMahon.<br /><br />This comic came entirely from the twisted mind of the Anabolic Warrior, who is every bit as batshit insane in real life as he is in-character. (For god's sake, the man legally changed his name to "Warrior" in the mid-90s.) If you don't believe me, check out his rantings on his website, ultimatewarrior.com . (Be prepared for blog posts as excessively verbose and faux-intellectual as this comic, though...)<br /><br />The Ultimate Hellwig's "retirement" from wrestling in 1999 was more a case of "nobody was gonna hire him again" after his run in WCW was a complete and utter disaster due to their letting him have creative control over his persona.<br /><br />His public speaking career has flopped massively, too, since an incident in the early 2000s where, at a college in New England--I want to say Harvard, but I don't think it was--one of his few coherent comments was, "Queering don't make the world work."<br /><br />In front of AP reporters. Who were taping the speech.<br /><br />Yeah.<br /><br />Thankfully, that's pretty much gotten him blackballed from the wrestling business, too, so we don't have to worry about his turning up again unless Vince gets REALLY desperate... and Hellwig forgets about the "Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" DVD set WWE put out that was basically just four hours of everyone they could find ripping into him.<br /><br />Now, considering I first learned of this comic on wrestlecrap.com, I gotta tell RD Reynolds about this review...rdfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606977743939375963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-22951002192755248322009-05-24T21:56:12.580-05:002009-05-24T21:56:12.580-05:00I do have one positive thing to say about this shi...I do have one positive thing to say about this shitstain of a comic: I've seen some more recent artwork by the guy who drew it, and he's actually matured into a fairly talented artist.<br /><br />The writer, not so much.
