Linkara's self-admitted ignorance of a large amount of the Marvel and DC histories can be both gratifying and frustrating at times to me. On one hand, I like it that he's coming into things like this a bit fresh-faced and has to work with it the way a new reader would; on the other, the continuity and history dork in me wants to yell at him to start doing just a little more research. His confusion over why Adam Warlock is what he is, that's an example of the latter. A brief history on him, Thanos and Jim Starlin, and their intertwined history together over the decades, could have answered some of those questions, but alas... Anyway, did he really go through an entire Thanos-centric review without a single Thanoscopter reference? Drat.  |

Anyway, did he really go through an entire Thanos-centric review without a single Thanoscopter reference? Drat. I'll be honest, one of my biggest pet peeves of all time for Linkara, or in fact most video reviewers, is when they don't do enough research on a subject before making a video about it. I get that it's a busy schedule to make videos on a weekly basis but you have the time to set things up and there's a bucketload of stuff online about such things that it just makes you come off as deliberately ignorant on this stuff, intentionally or not. He's been better with it but there used to be a point where most description part of reviews (unless he genuinely can't find anything else about it) started with "According to Wikipedia" and it drove me NUTS. (And yes, how did that Thanoscoper slip through?!) |

Funny enough I learned about Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet from the Marvel Super Heroes fighting game.

Actually he did make mention of the Thanoscopter in the closing credits.
You know, just once I'd like to see Batista try to rock the classic Drax look, with the cape and hood.

It always bugs me when Master Order or whatever turns up, because it's just Professor X's head, complete with Ming the Merciless eyebrows.
I think this story is one of the few times I have found Thanos all that compelling. The farmer ending was interesting.
