I think the Linkara rivalry was a joke one, like the one between NC and AVGN. I will say that I don't think he's that great, but he has some good material sometimes. His honest reviews are his best output, though.
I'm a geek.
@James Picard, I know, but at least with AVGN & the Critic they were both established and big in the reviewing world. with this, it would be like some punk game reviewer who just started up in like '10 trying to say that they're as good as Spoony
honestly, this review was written with my disgust over that plot he set up in the A&tC3, Smurfs 2, Planes arc . . . where he just . . . check the "Dude, not funny" section in the YMMV for his tv tropes page
FANBOYS RAGE OVER THE DUMBEST SHIT
Funny, that's kinda the feeling I get from your review.
Honestly I think you take him way too seriously.

you kind of have to admire someone who puts so much effort to bring an episode every week that's SO mediocre
I won't mix words here, I absolutely hate this series The premise alone is incredibly stupid. He's supposed to be some personification of fanboy-rage? well, the thing about that is FANBOYS RAGE OVER THE DUMBEST SHIT
before him, I didn't EVER want to use adblocker, now it's the only way I can stomach through his videos. I just can't seem to do anything but cringe at the thought of him somehow gaining revenue from me watching the nicest possible way I can describe his series would be if they made a Linkara clone, took out the acting, video making, and comedic skills, and told him to try and be the Nostalgia Critic
but that doesn't even get to the worst parts of his show his characters getting past the character of E Rod, this supposed hero who wields a hammer where the joke is that it's Mjolnir? and apparently he's a small-name internet personality who thinks he's the sexiest beast alive and thinks that he's somehow accomplishing something by destroying DVD boxes at the end of his reviews. Even the AVGN doesn't do that for like every video
then we have his characters. some cartoon piss-ant who needs a serious erasing, a fedora wearing jackass who seems like the sole joke is that he does a voice for him, a nerd-stereotype that needs a SERIOUS kick to the balls, and the most annoying is this hispanic-american stereotype who basically has all the ego of E Rod and almost nothing else
other than that you have some side-characters that I honestly don't care about because whoever writes this shit doesn't know the first thing about writing characters that you can care about
then comes the absolute biggest offender of the series. the plots so far, from what I can tell he has two major plots the second one (I'll get to the first in a bit) is that he was captured into the shadow-realm or some shit and was tortured, so his characters took over his show (oh FUCKING joy)
the first, and the absolute worst, is that he has a villain of the week giving him a new video to review and keeping him from destroying the case. I don't know how many, but he just repeats this plot again and again the only other thing of note is that he tried setting himself up as Linkara's rival . . . he is NOTHING compared to Linkara
if you don't mind a series that involves repeating the same story over and over, watch I'd rather not waste my time
