- It's a Battle of The Hams!!!!!
- "The Top 11 Mindfucks" video briefly shows multiple Critics in one shot. All a part of the mindfuckery, or evidence that this WMG is true? YOU DECIDE!
- MThey are all real and show up when they can disguise it as a mind fuck. This way secret remains!
- Since the TGWTG universe is shared with the AVGN universe, cloning must be possible, as he, too, has cloned himself in both the Nightmare on Elm Street and Oddysey reviews.
- The 'clones' in the NoES review existed only in his Krueger-controlled dream. BUT, the Nerd does seem to be a capable Mad Scientist, what with the FrankenNerd and the Nerdy Turd (from the aforementioned Odyssey review).
Here's what's gonna happen to everyone.
- Doug Walker will pull a James Rolfe and write and star in a NC movie. That'll lead to a Showtime series and possibly him joining the cast of SNL.
- Lewis Lovhaug (Linkara) will create a comic book of his character's adventures and sell it to Marvel.
- Lindsay will direct the NC movie, becoming the female Tim Burton.
- Nella will become the Johnny Depp to Lindsay's Tim Burton.
- CR will work on a DC Comics series.
- MarzGurl and JesuOtaku will host an Attack Of The Show-like show on Funimation's channel.
- Or they'll be in charge of it
- Film Brain and Welshy will host the UK's At The Movies.
- Likewise, Obscurus Lupa will host a television show on ABC.
- Mike J will have a long saga of famous films.
- Todd in the Shadows will be a music legend, with his face obscured by a mask and wearing a hoodie when performing.
- Nash will be a news anchor similar to Jon Stewart.
- Yahtzee—Benzaie
- is British—is French
- a distinct hat—no hat... most of the time
- gives negative reviews of well known games (mostly)—gives positive reviews of obscure games (mostly)
- makes fun of Americans, Brits, non-Brits—makes fun of French people
- video format is still cartoons—video format is live action
- speaks very quickly—Large Ham
- Dislikes Japanese things—loves japanese things.
- talks about how straight he is while bringing up some less then straight qualities—Extreme Omnisexual, and proud of it
- Rarely does crossovers—loves crossovers
- Likes Spoony's jokes—Loves Spoony's body.
I am fully endorsing this theory, except for one thing: Is he a natural Bizarro occurrence or is he a Bizarro!Universe version? And if it's the latter, how did he come to our universe?
- With all the cloning, its probably a natural Bizarro occurance
- They're gonna be pissed?
- They kinda shot down that ship a while back on their spectacular failure of a date...
- That would be awesome!
- No, because Tropers are gonna end up in the war. We need to prepare!
- If it does happen, then we will be.
- Not to worry, my friend, for we tropers are the keepers of a greater power! One that will push the balance of power in our favor!
- Not only that, but we're a WHOLE TEAM of Genre Savvy! We can't lose!
- Damn you! You've doomed us all!
- Who cares if we all die? It's still gonna be awesome!
- Just remember that we have Kamina and Haruhi on our side.
- Just one question: When we do enter the war... which side will we choose?
- Ladies and gentlemen, I propose we form our own faction of Tropers. With our lack of credibility, we can make anything, mind you, anything happen!
- This troper is game! Blessed are the tropers, for we shall inherit the internet!
- We are the Imperial Tropers. It is time we start acting like it!
- No, because Tropers are gonna end up in the war. We need to prepare!
- I fully endorse this method. Now we can TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!! * ahem* I ... I'm sorry about that. It won't happen ag—MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
- OF COURSE!!!
- The Nostalgia Critic: Driven mad by the horrible movies, he fashioned his new identity as a truly Mad Scientist.
- That Guy: That Guy is already demented, so he chose the persona to test his theories and to harvest babies and explosives for his movie.
- Chester A. Bum: Certain drugs have certain effects on the bum. Some make him beg for change, and others make him smart with the side-effect of insanity.
- Suede: Anyone else find it suspicious that, once Suede left, Insano appeared?
-
Spoony— no, that would be ridiculous.- But have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time before?
- Dr. Insano forced Spoony to read that Warrior comic, and they looked nothing alike. So there you go.
- Ah, but that was in an alternate universe where Spoony was Linkara; everyone knows that, in alternate universes, you switch places with your nemesis.
- But surely it was a Spoony Experiment. No matter which alternate universes they visited, Spoony was the one perusing the pages and commenting on them. And Linkara accused Spoony of reviewing a comic behind his back in his Adamantium Rage video.
- Insano showed up alongside Spoony in a part of the Final Fantasy VIII review. He gave Spoony a Time Compressor.
- In that same review, Insano tries to have Spoony killed, to which Spoony responds "But.. you're me."
- Proven but it's not his fault.
- Insano is Spoony Prime: We've seen Insano and Spoony in the same room together, but at one point Spoony said he and Insano are the same person. Well, they are the same person from different universes! Insano!Spoony is the one who reviewed FFVII instead of VIII. He then went on to become Insano, only to have to flee to our universe because his was destroyed by anti-matter.
- Sean Fausz: Went nuts after so many fails, lost a ton of weight, and is currently making kung-fu fighting Helen Keller clones.
- Goggles: Obvious.
- What? He isn't black.
- But he is a woman.
- Not since Linkara punched reality...
- Sage: Torment him with an Old Shame fanfic as Sage, make attempts to kill him as Insano.
- Linkara did finger Sage as Dr. Insano during the Adamantium Rage review. Insano denied it, of course.
- Angry Joe: A good friend of Linkara, or just waiting to betray him later?
- Didn't we once see Joe punching Insano in the face?
- Linkara has now made it perfectly clear: he doesn't like Joe. And Joe seemed genuinely hurt when Linkara told him so. Hmmm....
- Little Miss Gamer: Beware the Nice Ones, Linkara.
- Ed Glaser: In the future,Turkey will be destroyed in a war with Greece,which will lead Ed to insanity,which will lead to him going back in time to try to stop the war,tracing the events back to Linkara.Pissed, he will erase Steam Detectives Volume 9 from existence before settling in his normal role.
- Linkara's future self: He becomes Insano after Insano kills Marzgurl in front of Linkara.
- That makes PERFECT sense!
- No: Linkara becomes Insano after Insano forces him to review One More Day!
- Linkara's
presentpastself during the Maximum Clonage review: He's seen donning the goggles and proclaiming "I'm the REAL Dr. Insano now!" - The Angry Video Game Nerd. Unable to defeat The Nostalgia Critic once and for all, he's fashioned a new identity in order to take out Critic's friends and colleagues.
- Nineties Kid: He likes the Liefeldian art and the Grimdark antiheroes of the decade he is named after; he's obviously a deranged individual, and that gives him a reason to fight Linkara.
- Time-displaced Dr. Victor: Dr. Insano does things For Science!. Dr. Victor does that, too. He just dyed his hair brown and changed his outfit.
- Ryo-ohki: It's especially obvious in Spoony's Warrior review. In every other universe, she uses her humanoid form from the OVA instead of the cabbit form.
- BEAR! (Well, Bear WAS apparently behind the stuff in the "Previously On" segments.)
- Y Ruler of Time: Having been denied an entry in the Chicago Anniversary Brawl and being overshadowed by the memory of Suede, he successfully used his knowledge of manga to earn a PhD in mad science before setting his sights on overtaking the legacy of Suede and, in turn, the entire site.
- None of those. There's no backstory and no continuity. There's Only Insano.
- One of the Schlumper brothers.
- Dr. Doofenshmitz
- You! Yes, you, reading this article right now!
- Especially you, Adrian!
- All of the above: Linkara punched reality so many times that he retconned the other times he punched reality, remembering only the most recent incarnation.
- Dr. Franken Stein: Do I really need to say more?
- Whomever makes for the best joke at any given time.
- Dr. Insano is obviously Mati. Think about it, Linkara pointed out that Mati has psychic powers from his ring, Mati is constantly being abused by everyone on TGWTG.com, and its shown that when he snaps, he gains a heightened awareness of his surroundings that makes him Deadpool style insane. What if Mati used his ring to hypnotize everyone who saw him into what they THINK Dr. Insano is supposed to look like, thus explaining why no one can describe what he looks like, and then used his heightened awareness of the universe to break the laws of reality Genius: The Transgression style?
- The future Clone Spoony: Clone Spoony seems to be more volatile than the original. It's obvious that Linkara's method of cloning, combined with the alterations he made, has created a split personality, aka Insano. This temporarily manifests itself as the "madness" talked about in Kickassia, and finally will take him over in the future. At that point Insano will get revenge on the original Spoony not knowing it was the original, and creating a Stable Time Loop
- Familiar Faces has just confirmed Insano's nature.
- Jossed by Familiar Faces
- It's worse than you think. Even now, they are actively trying to create bum versions of the entire population. Seriously, watch the end of any of their reviews and see if you can spot the cleverly hidden subliminal message telling all of us to change. As That Guy With The Glasses astutely pointed out, change is upon us.
- Which means there's already a Bum version of Barack Obama running around....
- Wait a second. Bums is another word for ass. Stuff relating to the ass is anal. Alternate character derailed versions of people are sometimes skrulls. The Bums are the ANAL SKRULLS! Warren Ellis was right all along! We're doomed!
- ...oh my god, this is the greatest theory I've ever heard in my life!
- See? It's happening already! Exposure to the Bums is causing us to CHANGE! YA GOT CHANGE?!
- Confirmed. Chester's a psychopath who has, so far, blown up Hollywood, Pluto (but nobody cares about that), and Rome. Somebody stop him!
- Also, in Spoony's "Clones of Bruce Lee" review, it's implied that his Bum is a clone of him.
- 90's Kid is their secret leader, who works for Dr. Insano. Think about it. What would happen if he would tell to one of the Bums "Duuude! Who needs change? What we needs is more GUNS!"?
- Even MORE evidense! Apparently Ultimate UKFF Fan releaved he has a bum clone, Nester Teh Otaku!! We must stop this now, or else every internet celeb will have a bum clone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLWEKkZTk9Q
- The Bums are like the Thing or Pod People: they copy traits of people, and use that to slowly inflitrate society. Their arch-enemies are the Plutonians(since Neutro exists, so do they). That's why Chester blew up Pluto.
- The Nostalgia Critic - Dream
- That Dude In The Suede - Destruction
- The Nostalgia Chick - Death
- Benzaie - Desire
- The Spoony One - Despair
- Linkara - Destiny
- Marzgurl - Delirium
Linkara doesn't think any of the Endless fit him.
- Then that means Linkara is Lucien.
- And Bennett the Sage is Destiny.
Also...
- Chester A. Bum - Mad Hettie
- Angry Video Game Nerd - Lucifer
- Ma-Ti - Eblis O'Shaughnessy
- The Other Guy - Cain
- Film Brain - Abel
- Little Miss Gamer - Thessaly
- That Chick With The Goggles - Eve
- Mike Michaud - Matthew The Raven
- He's got more a Fae vibe.
- What's the difference?
- Abominations don't usually notice the puny mortals they squish beneath their foot-equivalents. Fae recognize that you're there, but they're likely to kill you for blinking at them. In other words, the Fae would answer your questions, even in their disturbing alien mentality manner.
- What's the difference?
- Episode 39 suggests that he's a soulless human.
- It outright said he's a servant of the devil.
- Yeah, but in that case he might still have a soul.
- It outright said he's a servant of the devil.
- That's a shame.
- Jossed. He isn't Satan, he works for Satan.
- Duh, he's self-employed.
- If he is self employed, then he's into self-abuse, and not in the fun way.
- He has also implied that he and Satan were once lovers. Figure that out.
- Duh, he's self-employed.
- No, that would be the Nostalgia Critic. He criticized Full House. Ergo, he must be a dark entity incapable of being pierced by the show's rays of family wholesomeness.
- Wait; would that mean That Guy is also... Teddy Ruxpin?! What a Twist!
- Stupid Sexy Crossdressing Doug...
- Also, Linkara and the Nostalgia Chick are Raven and I-no.
- Would that mean the Nostalgia Critic is Sol Badguy? And Suede is Slayer? I'd laugh if that meant at least one of them is Justice.
- However, after Ask That Guy just shoots Linkara, Insano goes into mourning, has a Heel Realization and alters the timeline so that everything goes back to normal.
- This has happened about five or six times.
- It will all end revealing that Doctor Insano is all behind this
- But it turns out that it was Sage's plan all along in order to prevent Linkara from getting revenge on him.
- [[AC: Or is it? It was all Little Miss Gamer's evil plan.
- No. It was Team Four Star's evil plan.
- And Team Four Star's is being manipulated by both the Nerd and LittleKuriboh
- No, it's hiding in the last place you'd look.
- It might be a very tiny one but he's still got it. He regularly looks upset when the fact that he's a horrible human being manages to get through to him, he had that Pet the Dog moment of stopping the brawl and let's face it, this would have been Jossed ages ago if it wasn't true.
- You know, I think you might be onto something there...
- Then what was the fourth occurrence that Lee from Still Gaming missed? Seriously.
- They have broken through to the DesuDesBrigade. May God help us all.
- Not so much anymore, though.
- Jossed, or at least completely ignored. And judging by how sexually depraved Episode 45 was (even more so than normal), Ask That Guy probably ended up enjoying what Sage did to him.
Douchey and Chester have the same wig and the same toque, and both exhibit seriously manic behaviour (albeit for two different reasons.) It can't just be a coincidence on Doug Walker's part, since usually goes out of his way to make each of his characters dress and act uniquely.
Doug, Spoony, or Benzaie, one hopes. Bennett, one fears. Or hopes. Vehemently.
- Rob. He's helped with some of the scripts that include the most massively Ho Yay-rific moments. With the same basis, Lewis.
- The possibility that Doug is a Yaoi Fanboy looks increasingly likely. And with his blowjob jokes, flirting with anyone with a pulse and a certain interview where he was touching himself while talking about Transformers 2 feeling like a robotic penis fucking him hard, he's either very very secure with his sexuality or a bisexual guy who got engaged to a woman.
- Alternately, Bennett The Sage either already became insane or died from stupid.
- Jossed. The new episode just came out. And he looks as sane as ever. Well at least he looks relatively sane as ever.
- He's some sort of spy/harasser hired by the The Angry Video Game Nerd to frustrate Doug.
- Or he's hired by and/or is Douchey McNitpick.
- Before Dr. Insano was changed from a woman to a man by Linkara, he had a crush on Spoony and was rejected due to her nerdiness, causing her to turn evil, similar to the origin of Earth-982note ] Insano [[spoiler: AKA Wayne Schlumper in Party Mania. This was obviously changed in our world when Linkara punched reality.
- Technically, Linkara never stated he turned Insano from a woman into a man. He could have been a child, an anthro, a hyper-intelligent gerbil, or a robot.
- The exact words he used were "and Dr. Insano became a guy". I don't think he would've used that word unless he meant it as an opposite to woman/girl. Furthermore, Earth-982 seems to be a Gender Bender universe, so their Insano being a guy supports the theory that ours used to be a woman.
- Not quite. It's possible that Linkara just thinks Insano was a woman until then. Remember this exchange from the Adamantium Rage review:
- Technically, Linkara never stated he turned Insano from a woman into a man. He could have been a child, an anthro, a hyper-intelligent gerbil, or a robot.
- To which Insano answers yes to, not to mention that the AU version of Earth where everyone's genders are swapped, Insano is male.
- Is porn. It's clearly been shown to have pictures, and what other pictures would interest Ask That Guy?
- Contains the answers to all of life's questions.
- Contains every possible way there is to say "hello." It's where he gets his ideas for how to greet the viewer before every episode.
- Is the Great Big Book of Everything. He stole it from Stanley after he killed his pets. With onions.
- Is People. Because something has to be. He's a humanitarian, after all.
- Is the Necronomicon.
- Is the evil book from The Care Bears Movie. He discovered it when he was younger, and having no friends or care bears at the time to free him of its spell, allowed it to possess him. This is the reason why he is such a horrible, hateful person. All that time being possessed by so much evil energy can really mess a guy up.
- Is about music of the western world.
- In Episode 8, the book is shown to be a copy of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. A later episode reveals that it was written in "hydroglyphics".
- Possibly comfirmed by the Kickassia special. It's certainly on the Nostalgia Critic's mind as an eventual goal.
- Either The Spoony One or, if he was present, the Angry Video Game Nerd will lead the Blistered Thumbs, Linkara will lead Inked Reality and the Nostalgia Critic will lead Team That Guy with the Glasses
- Jossed.
- Jossed. It's going to be about...well, just look at the trailer!
- Well, there's always next year. BI
- About ponies.
- Alternatively, it could be a colection of humorus things caught on the cameras the chick keeps putting in her room.
- Alternatively again, it could be a series of reviews of shows from her childhood that, unlike the Chick and Critic, gushes about the shows and embraces the Nostalgia Filter instead of taking it down.
- Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please....WANT
- Explains how SpoonyTerl was able to make his cameo appearance in the Critic's Lost in Space review even after the planet blew up with him on it in the BE review. Note how he finishes his infamous "While you were still learning how to SPELL YOUR NAME! line in the LOS review, whereas he didn't in the BE review.
- Jossed in Spoony's review of Wing Commander (The Movie) when Terl revealed the existence of Psy-chlones
- Not to mention they now have a bona fide pianist with extensive knowledge of music in their midst.
- Oh please, oh please dear God that would be the most awesome thing ever! This troper would lick boots for a video about that!
- ...And Insano (or Ask That Guy, or both) could have an absolutely epic Villain Song... do want.
- The Nostalgia Chick. Les Misérables review. Everyone sang One Day More. *faints*
- Not a full review, though. I'd kill for a true musical with a plot.
Nella is going to take over the show.
We've seen (possible) build-up with Nella becoming increasingly angry at the NChick due to the hidden cameras, and the makeover fairy. So, Nella is going to attack the NChick, and take over the show for a while, and give the NChick time to finish up her college stuff.
- This would probably come with some demented in-show explanation, such as Nella imprisoning the Chick in her basement, until one of the other characters rescues her.
- And she'll be helped by the Sexbot. Which makes sense, seeing as there was another mistreated robot who turned on his master earlier...
- As you can see in the Tommy Wisheau, they obviously have the exact same hair (and by that I don't mean the same hairstyle).
Yes, the Nostalgia Critic exposed the seahorses' intentions to Take Over the World, so naturally the seahorses had to make the video disappear. The disappearance of Obscurus Lupa's review is just the seahorses covering their tracks, and making sure everyone will blame server problems, overzealous lawyers, or other problems. Butwe're on to you, seahorses! Thanks to the Streisand Effect, lots of people are going to see that video anyway. Your diabolical schemes will never come to fruition!
- I for one welcome our new seahorse overlords...
- A collaborator! The future can and must be changed, no matter the cost. To the penguinnote pits with you!
- Actually, while the Critic's review was (officially) removed from the Web all-together, Lupa's is still up, just not on TGWTG. If you check her Blip account, you can still find it there as of 20100830.
Future NC had Past NC review the room as a distraction to the seahorses so that he could finish a superweapon in order to fight them (this parts a red herring). Past NC now has knowledge of the Seahorses and will fight them back with the rest of the contributors in the Third Anniversary Special. Because they enver take over the future, Future NC never has to build the superweapon, and Past NC never goes to the future to review The Room, and instead reviews his college movie.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Wait - does that mean it will be shot in New Zealand?! Squee!
- Possibly, and unfortunately, Jossed, according to his Twitter.
Because of upcoming nuptials, I won't do vids until late may. So those who say I'll be at the anniversary... marriage takes priority. Sorry.- Not about it, but he did return during Part 5. Conditionally Confirmed.
- And the recent avalanche of Crossovers are actually the build-up for it!
- Jossed.
- Well if you want to incorporate all of the WMGs then the villian would have to John. Or Seahorses. Or maybe John is a seahorse!
- But John/Copyright Nazi would already be part of the TGWTG Legion of Doom. We can't have the villain be that obvious.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Alternatively, That Guy is the superego, do to his refined sense of sophistication, and the Bum is the id. Note how Chester is also apparently responsible for various atrocities, all of which he's perfectly willing to admit to. All three are evil, the only difference is how they go about it. That Guy is amicable and refined, as befits the superego. The Critic has the most ambition of the group, as evidenced by his goal to take over the world (OF COURSE!), making him the obvious ego. The Bum is completely indiscriminate in taste, abuses drugs, and barely thinks about his past misdeeds beyond a quick acknowledgement that they occurred once.
- But the cartoon it was based of was made beyond the review dates of the Nostalgic critic reviews, so it makes no sense that he'll be behind it.
- Alternatively, Chester A. Bum will be the one to force a group of other reviewers to review the film.
- Conditionally Confirmed. The movie was reviewednote , but JewWario was responsible, as he put the DVD into Y's luggage.
- Jossed: He shows up in Brad Tries
- I seriously doubt Lord Vyce would be a Green Lantern. Linkara, though? Maybe. I also think Either Master Bate or Spoony might be avatars for the Predator entity.
- Spooning With Spoony, definitely.
- I can even see the plot: The Gatekeeper manipulates a bunch of lantern rings to attack the TTGWTG crew, or just causes general chaos by giving them rings. The various wearers include
- The Red ring will go to Angry Joe, for obvious reasons.
- The Orange ring will go to the Nostalgia Critic, considering his takeover of Molossia and not wanting to be upstaged. On the CA-verse villains, expect someone hammy like Dr Smith to wear it (and he gets his constructs of SPIDERS!)
- The Sinestro ring will search for Bennet The Sage and Ask That Guy. Because the latter is Nightmare Fuel,and the former frightened the latter. I can see the two fighting over it
- Linkara will get the Green ring because he's fought the most villains of them all
- Ma-Ti will get a Star Sapphire ring because of Rule of Funny, and he'll have a chance to defy the trope he set up.
- Phelous will get a black ring, seeing as how Death Is Cheap
- Who would get indigo, and who would get white?
- Obviously, Santa Christ will get White
- What about blue? Also, I don't think the Makeover Fairy would get indigo.
- Indigo (compassion) would go to the sweetest and most caring. The only people who seem to fit that are JesuOtaku and Roses. Blue (Hope) would go to the most optimistic. While they all seem fairly cynical, Blue could go to Paw or Linkara (if that happened, Green could go to Spoony since he has just as big a Rogues Gallery and is the main ring hander-offer).
- Jossed, the third anniversary is a quest. Oh well, there's always next year...
- Jossed.
- Kevin Baugh conquerors Mexico and much of Central America. Molossia and America will become friendly rivals as he and Angry Joe compete for the world.
- Instead of Heart, Ma-Ti will be given a new planeteer ring and with it a new power: the power of Frickin' Laser Beams.
- In this world,he's still a Butt-Monkey. Some things remain constan
- The would-be Game Heroes created a gaming company that rivals the big three. They emplopy Paw and Pushing Up Roses, who are very well known for writing music for their video games.
- Phelous became a scientist, mass producing cloning technology, living after Canada was destroyed via this. The Phelous mentioned in the video was a clone.
- Luke was cloned multiple times after the destruction of Canada and now everyone of his personalites created as a clone. They all live in his old mansion, having been a high profile actor before his death. Ralph however was shot during the cloning process for obvious reasons.
- CR works on a DC Comics series.
- MarzGurl and JesuOtaku host an Attack Of The Show-lite show on Funimation's channel.
- Or they're in charge of it
- Film Brain and Welshy host the UK's At The Movies.
- Likewise, Obscurus Lupa hosts a television show on ABC.
- Mike J has a long saga of famous films.
- Todd in the Shadows is music legend, with his face obscured by a mask and wearing a hoodie when performing.
- No, he becomes the third member of Daft Punk.
- Nash is a news anchor similar to Jon Stewart.
- The only one who's future wouldn't be affected would be Suede's, since he's, well... STILL ON HIATUS.
- Well no, since if Critic didn't exist then Suede never would have been picked up by the site. Most likely he became a full time priest or what-have-you.
- He becomes the Pope. Of all the religions.
- Well no, since if Critic didn't exist then Suede never would have been picked up by the site. Most likely he became a full time priest or what-have-you.
- The Angry Video Game Nerd is CEO of Nintendo. The Irate Gamer is this world's AVGN, an just as popular
- As a porn star, Cinema Snob never would have been able to have a serious relationship, so he would never meet his wife, and would probably die lonely.
- Linkara is obviously suffering from the stress of owning two comic companies, with his declaration that it's awesome simply him trying to convince himself otherwise. If anything goes wrong then he knows it will be his fault, he has to find ways to tie the continuity of two very different universes together, and he would never meet Iron Liz.
- Not to mention that without him there will be nothing to stop Lord Vyce and/or the Entity from enslaving our diemenson.
- The Nostalgia Chick's marriage is very idealistic, but we've seen that she's a slight sociopath and needs a relationship that's somewhat vitriolic, like the ones she has with The Critic and Nella. She and Nella both give a bit of a Suspiciously Specific Denial about how awesome and respectful their relationship is, inferring that they're seeing each other. The husband also doesn't seem that pleased when Chick leaves, making it look like he knows they're together.
- And when the girls exit in the bloopers and the child starts bawling again, he bursts into tears and yells at it to shut up. Huge Stepford Smiler vibe.
- Angry Joe might be enjoying his role as President, but destroying Canada would bring him the wrath of Canadians who were out of the coutnry, people who had family there, and any country which had major trade relations with the country (including, of course, the US). Since Phelous can't die, and Luke lives there, they would probably lead a revolution against Joe that ends in his death.
- Spoony isn't actually the new Critic, it's really Insano. You can tell by the way he laughs at the end - that's definately Insano's laugh. As for Douchey, he is either on Insano's payroll and just says those things to get money, or is only a fan because they're both insane and evil.
- Roger would eventually get impatient after God made his comment that the former would get the job if the latter ever retired. eventually Roger would pull a Lucifer and end up gettign kicked out of Heaven, but of course he couldn't take over Hell because there already is a Lucifer, and would be subject to an eternity of divine torture.
- Also Roger being willing to kill the critic to get power and influence would have Fallen him more or less immediately after defeating the Critic.
- Wow, if only Critic had thought about this.
- Or rather, following the destruction of Canada every nation on the planet will be terrified of Angry Joe, leading him to become the planet's dictator. The reason the planet was about to obtain world peace is because the nations aren't going to mess with someone like Angry Joe.
- Alternatively, he ran for President and lost in an epic landslide thanks to showing no signs of good leadership or general competance in a high position of power. So scarred by the humiliation, he resdesigned his bedroom into the shape of the oval office, and now spends his days pretending to be president and nuking everyone for not voting for him.
- Not to mention what'll happen to all the other reviewers. With the managment of Heavean growing complacent Buggs Bunny/Woody Woodpecker will escape from Hell to have revenge on the Angry Video Game Nerd. Without the battles with the Critc to hone his skills, the Nerd will be beaten and killed.
- Since he won't travel to the future the world will recieve no warning about the seahorses, allowing them to take over unopposed.
- There are multiple evils in this world. The Entity, the evil Jew Wario faces (can't name it off of the top of my head), and others. Who is going to fight them?
- Ask That Guy has to put on a nice, polite facade and rely on tips to get hookers. You don't even to have twist his segment much to know that's probably killing him.
- As we know Critic is the only one to offer him shelter, money and a job, Chester very likely died a while ago.
Sage really is the Devil (as shown in The Nostalgia Critic review of Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation), but his memory of this was erased for a while (he remembered again at the end of the review). He was created by Chernabog and Mephisto to be the Friends' principal agent on the site and is the man behind Lord Vyce and The Guy with the Glasses (though the Guy wouldn't work the Devil if he knew he was Sage).
Santa Christ, on the other hand, is the High Council's principal agent on the site. Linkara secretly works for him (which is why Sage keeps having Lord Vyce try to kill him either directly or by sending Insano, Linksano, and Mecha Linkara after him). Many of the other reviewers are unalinged, but side characters appearing on their shows try to sway them to one side or the other (for example, Santa Christ sent Nella in the hope that her innocence could prevent The Nostalgia Chick from slipping over to the Friends' side due to the latter's sociopathy, though unfortunately a quasi-demonic, intergalactic agent of the Friends has since posessed Nella).
The Critic was briefly swayed to the Friends' side for Kickassia, but became neutral again after that. Someday, a big battle between the armies of Santa Christ and Devil Sage will determine weather the site in general will become a headquarters for the High Council, allowing the forces of good to communicate and pool their resources, or a soul-gathering operation for the Friends.
Times when characters on the site review something else that's part of the battle may be part of either side's plan (for example, The Nostalgia Critic's top eleven Disney villains countdown was created on Santa Christ's suggestion so as to warn High Council agents in other worlds who some of their most dangerous enemies are, and the Friends tried to prevent it from uploading by wrecking the Critic's computer).
- I don't think that the Friends are behind Lord Vyce. Rather, I think both sides are wary of Lord Vyce, considering he's feared throughout the entire multiverse. This is the reason why almost everyone on the site is on a morally neutral level. Lord Vyce likely knows about Chernabog, and because he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist, isn't willing to compromise. While the Friends are unable to directly interfere, they are able to plant agents. Now that Lord Vyce is disposed, both sides are making their move. This is why Suburban Knights had a Complete Monster for a villain. The Entity will probably try to destroy both sides.
- Also, notice how sometimes Sage seems more casual, even showing standards(just watch his anime reviews.) Devil Sage is actually regular Sage's Superpowered Evil Side created by the Friends. That, or Sage is just evil on his own for lulz.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- If they focused on every popular reviewer, the special would be two hours long. They focused on the main ones. The ones that get top billing during anniversaries, and such.
- Wow, this is getting exciting! They're already bringing back some of Chick's friends, Orlando, there's rumors of Suede still going around, and now Back Street's back? All right!
- Then they failed as the whole thing takes place between Ultimate Warrior's Workout and Ultimatum #1-2.
- Who is his mother?
- One of Ask That Guy's fangirls.
- Who is his mother?
- Possibly Jossed: in part 5, it was revealed that Orlando's character was actually Malachite, an ancient mage.
- Not likely. Audible Underwear has since retired his series.
- Personally, I think it would have been a funny gag if Santa Christ died in Kickassia because he did not believe in him.
- He did Benzaie vs. The Distressed Watcher and The Nostalgia Critic mentioned him in a video.
- Really? Was Benzaie and the Nostalgia Critic in-character? If they were not, then it doesn't count.
- Yes, they were in character, it doesn't help that Benzaie vs. The Distressed Watcher is hidden on the site and I can't remenber which NC video he mentioned TJ.
- Still doesn't joss this. There may be portals connecting Real Life and Channel Awesome. Perhaps it's the beginning of the Entity's The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You tricks?
- Jossed: Doug has revealed that the 4th Year Anniversary is Sci-Fi Based.
- Because, if Future Critic is to be considered, they mistook him for Doc Brown. He still hasn't completed that bomb of theirs.
- Doug Walker, Lindsay Ellis, Brad Jones: No shit
- Linkara: He has to play Mechakara after all. Even if he didn't, he'd be in the No Shit box above
- Spoony: Likewise, he'd be Insano if the plot involves TGWTG villains. Same story as Linkara
- Angry Joe, Bennet The Sage, MarzGurl, Benzaie, Paw Dugan and The Game Heroes: Been there the last three
- JewWario, Phelous, and Film Brain: Been there the last two
- Obscurus Lupa: A major player on TGWTG, one of the three go to cameos (the other two being Linkara and Oancitizen), and was there last year
- Todd In The Shadows: There last year, also a big player in crossovers and the like, and the Linkara Theorem (niche subject matter/popularity) is in play.
- * Suede: He was there last year, was the first to join the site and to catch up since his mission.
- Luke Mochrie: Doug seems to have a fondness for his show.
And the possible new people. These are who I think are the most likely candidates and who I think will end up going.
- Oancitizen: Very quickly rose to fame on TGWTG, cameoing EVERYWHERE, and uses the Linkara Theorem.
- Maven Of The Eventide/Elisa: A member of Team NChick as well as a roommate of Lindsay. However theres the possibility of thsi being overlooked.
- She also was there last year, although it was more of a cameo.
- Blockbuster Buster: Quite popular on TGWTG and Doug seems to have a fondness for his show, since he was there when it was announced it got picked up.
- Hagan: As the villain. However, living in Ireland may put a stretch on the budget.
- Nash and JesuOtaku: A pair of reviewers I'm shocked weren't there last year. Nash would be interesting just to see his over the top anger and JO would play the straight man.
- CR: Had to turn it down last year due to family issues
I think it will end up being CR, Nash, JO, Oancitizen, and Blockbuster Buster
- It should be pointed out that some of the people present at the shooting of Y3 were there on their own money, so it's possible that some of these people could travel there on their own and not impact the budget as much.
- The Blockbuster Buster stated on Youtube that he is not in Year 4.
- Benzaie has stated that Sad Panda will be the Frenchman this year, so he's out.
- Nash was not brought out, Oancitizen is in.
- Nash's non-appearance in Year 4 (and for that matter, Year 3) likely has to do with his Real Life father's ill health over the past few years (and to a lesser extent, his radio show).
- JesuOtaku is confirmed in Sad Panda's Forget About It: Top 10 TGWTG Reviewers
- CR is in as he's done a video with Brad Jones.
- He will talk about the more insane secrets then call in whoever's involved in the secret to confirm or deny!
- And every time Spoony is involved, there will be Squeeing abound.
Now the real Epilepsy of this guess kicks in with my IRL evidence: Doug said in an interview that the site is basically full after picking up Block Buster Buster and Diamanda. However, there are many days where the amount of videos added is only about half the total possible number. My guess is that they've contacted several prolific reviewers with small connections to the site (The F Ilm Renegado, Cin Wicked, PhilBunny, Blockbuster Chick and Demoversi would be my top guesses) to have them make appearances at the anniversary, and they'll officially be added to the site once the event is complete.
And with the official Year 4 photo having been released, the cast is confirmed:DougSpoonyRobLindsay and Team N. Chick (Nella & Elisa, who may/or may not be playing as MavenLinkaraMarzGurl (as Motoko Kusanagi)Angry JoeBennettPaw8-Bit Mickey (no Handsome Tom)Cinema SnobPhelousLupaToddJew WarioFilm BrainLuke MochrieCR (NEW!)Sad Panda (NEW!)Jesu Otaku (NEW!)Oancitizen (NEW!)
- Linkara as the Doctor.
- (Sorta) Confirmed by the cast photo: Doug Walker as Judge Dredd, Marzgurl as Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell), Angry Joe wearing an eye patch, CR wearing a visor, Oancitizen wearing Yoda ears.
- They'd be utter shitstains if this was true, and we've seen over four years that they're not. Plus, why would Holly (who has Fibromyalgia and other health problems) put herself through all the stress of fan insults and questions if it was all faked?
- Speaking as somebody who watches the videos and read the announcement, only knows about the twitter becuase somebody linked him to a transcript of it and never bothered with the forums... who/what?
- Holly. She's head of the site and deals with all the PR stuff. She spent about two days on twitter answering all the questions and got a lot of bullshit for her trouble, including disgusting fuckheads mocking her after she told someone else (who asked if she found rape jokes funny) that she'd been raped.
- They'd be utter shitstains if this was true, and we've seen over four years that they're not. Plus, why would Holly (who has Fibromyalgia and other health problems) put herself through all the stress of fan insults and questions if it was all faked?
- Spoony spends the entire first part of his To Boldly Flee commentary explaining the situation. In short, Noah had been having issues with Channel Awesome since Suburban Knights, and probably even before then. Pulling a Charlie Sheen on Twitter didn't help his standing with the staff, but it wasn't what got him removed; it was just the culmination of some long-running drama, and the final push that inspired him to break away altogether. Also, relations between Spoony and Channel Awesome are apparently quite a bit more amicable than the Internet thinks.
- What I find more likely is that there'll be a tentative truce, and he might still interact with them, a la LordKaT and to a lesser extent the AVGN, but will not be a part of Channel Awesome again.
- They could possibly also drop the Rape as Comedy part. Kinda like Linking Up with Linkara, only without Nostalgia Chick and Marz Gurl pulling a prank on him.
- Or...you know...pull one of the rejected ideas out of a hat and see what happens.
- FWIW, Spoony has kept it, with a recent video of Interlocking With Insano, which is pretty much a sciency ripoff of Spooning With Spoony 2.
- I Knew It!, although I was wrong about how Zod would handle the review.
Obvious candidates: Diamanda Hagan, Sage, Linkara, Nostalgia Chick, Phelous, Welshy. Possibly Spoony, if Noah can be persuaded to come back for another anniversary.
- Jossed already. Critic makes it clear in the Cutthroat Island review that he wants the Chick to take his place as the main reviewer, and the cast commentary for To Boldly Flee has Holly saying there'll be nothing big for a few years.
- Even more jossed now that the Critic has returned.
- Inevitable No-Brainers - Nostalgia Critic, Nostalgia Chick, Linkara, Cinema Snob
- Strong Supporters - Phelous, Lupa, Paw, Todd, CR, Angry Joe, Sage
- Potential Newcomers
- Rachel and Malcolm - it's only inevitable
- Confirmed on their Facebooks
- E Rod, the Blockbuster Buster - I'm sure Doug got a lot of emails asking to put him in last year
- Sci-Fi Guy - he has cameoed in 3 Critic episodes
- Nash / Y Ruler of Time - by virtue of Doug at least knowing them
- Rachel and Malcolm - it's only inevitable
- Possible No-Shows (at least not in the main cast)
- Spoony - kinda obvious by now
- JewWario - has sadly left the site as well, :(
- Oancitizen - if only because Kyle has his master's degree project going on.
- 8-Bit Mickey - has gotten plenty of development over 4 specials, plus Game Heroes is done
- Personal picks of people to let go
- Marzgurl - She's been in 4 specials already, plus her videos releasing has sorta declined for the time being
- Luke Mochrie - he's practically disappeared from the site
- Film Brain - he's gotten plenty of development and screentime
- Jossed - According to Rob, "The "Critic" won't be appearing. Doug will, though."
- When finally appearing in person to the The Nostalgia Critic, he's a sharply dressed baritone with the infamous "Son of the Mask" as his masterpiece. One of the worst villains the Nostalgia Critic has encountered was sharply dressed and physically imposing. Since the Nostalgia Critic's job is to review bad movies, what better way to torment him than with one? Plus the Nostalgia Critic had just ended his time of being a the plot-hole, so this is the best way the Devil can get back at the closest thing on Earth to his former employer. His previous appearance as the Teddy Ruxpin was long before all this chaos happened, so he simply manifested in a form most frightening to the Nostalgia Critic
- Ask That Guy has tried to prove that he's pretty much the devil, the real Satan got annoyed at his The Devil Am I, so he found someone who deals with more disturbing material than Ask That Guy could ever bear and not bat and eye. Bennett the Sage was perfect. However, Bennett himself has proven so unnerving that even the Devil no longer wants to imitate or meet(just as Bennett planned).
- While he chose a more obvious appearance for Linkara(the most outspokenly evil character with the look of his employer), his plan was different. Linkara had stopped Lord Vyce and the Entity. To avoid fighting him would require some of his corruption skills. Knowing that he was reviewing One More Day, his deal would be steeped in irony and not being so different. Linkara's main problem with Spiderman's Deal with the Devil(along with the writers themselves) is how irresponsible and "easy way out" it is, and how he's wasting something big to fix something small-had he accepted the deal Linkara would've taken the easy way out, and sacrificed his ''soul'' just to erase some terrible comic that will undoubtedly become just an ugly yet microscopic footnote in the history of fiction(let alone humanity).
- Being in the same universe as Channel Awesome, Satan decided to possess the AVGN's Super Mario Bros 3 game. The reason is that its his favourite game, and what would be more vile to the Nerd than to make his most beloved game be a vessel for complete and total evil? This is also considering how much time the Nerd spends playing bad games to the point of getting used to them, and being allies with Super-Mecha Death Christ 2000 BC 4.0 Beta?
- Jossed. The Critic reviewed it, but he did not copy the Bum's style this time.
- Angry Joe
- Brentalfloss
- Iron Liz
- Linkara: He's there every year
- Lord Kat
- Lindsay: She's referenced D&D before, and she hangs out with Nella and Mara Wilson, so...
- Nella
- Paw Dugan
- That SciFi Guy
- Spoony: Tandem lives again!
