What aunt_zelda Thinks: AT4W, Double Feature Showdown with Lord Vyce

[aunt_zelda]

Jeez, things start out pretty dark … *makes a note to request General Joe taking out casualties on Linkara via sexytimes fic later*

Niiiiiice music for the title card!

"Don't get me wrong, bow-ties are cool."
SQUEEEEEE! (Sorry, but … Doctor Who reference!)

"Because poor literacy is for … people who can't spell."
Hee! Subversion of a running gag! Yay!

You know, I may be getting into Star Trek JUST for the Klingons. No, really. They're the only thing (besides the ability to understand all the geeky references people throw around) that's making me want to get into that ginormous, daunting fandom.

The idea of Rob Liefeld being a wannabe hairstylist, failing, and becoming a comic book writer instead is FAR too amusing.

Huh … Assassin Lady looks a helluva a lot like Lord Vyce. But female. *prays desperately for Vyce to turn out to be a woman*

"… but for some reason we can't find him."
*remembers that Body Horror fix from a couple weeks ago*
*curls into a ball under the bed*
PLEASE BE OK NINJA-STYLE DANCER! PLEASE!!!!!!!

Yay, Kung Tai Ted! *sporfles* Getting stuck in the snow!

*insert history fangirl rant*
Hate to break it to you, Ted, but ninjas wearing white isn't all that ridiculous. They were supposed to blend in and would disguise themselves as merchants, farmers, entertainers, etc. They donned what we would think of as the standard ninja-garb for sneaking around at night, but it was navy blue, as stark black would kinda stand out.

Only Samurai committed seppuku! And even then, most didn't, most WENT OVER TO THE ENEMY SIDE WHEN THEIR MASTER WAS KILLED! And women didn't commit seppuku, thought they did sometimes commit ritual suicide. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
*end silly rant*

Nice necklace, Liz!

"He must have some way of contacting Vyce through the time shield. *bing* And now, so do we!"
I love his little maniacal grin.

Eeeeeeee, Vyce's ship!

… oh, Vyce is talking about ripping Linkara's head off and displaying it for all to see. *sighs* There goes all that luverly FoeYay potential, right down the drain … *sighs* Now it's gonna have to dwell in strictly AU territory, unless we wanna get REALLY disturbing, which, frankly, I do not. I draw the line at necro. Snuff can be ok sometimes, but NOT necro! *squick*

"I shall drench his blood all over the Entity before I slice it down!"
Ok, NOW you're talkin' to my perverse kinks, Vyce!

"Of course. But don't you think your emotions are impairing your judgement, just a little?"
*drools* What was that, my lady? I was too busy looking at those GLOVES and listening to the evil, seductive tones of your beautiful voice …
Oooooo, she's an assassin too?! *SQUEE* Argh, Vyce, in less than two minutes you've completely lost me: talking about ripping Linkara apart (gross) and snapping at Judas Liz not to speak to you (boo! I was totally gonna ship you two crazy kids!) … yeah, you've lost me. Such a pity, I was going to make a flag or something …

Lol, Linkara making fun of Vyce's cool helmet! (If only Vyce wasn't a big meanie, I'd ship these two like the DICKENS.)
Oh no … Linkara, do not taunt the Dimension Conquerer! I don't care how snarky and awesome your little speech is, YOU ARE MAKING HIM ANGRY AND HE ALMOST KILLED YOU FOR REALZ!
(You'd better have Insano tied up in your closet, making you guns or something.)

*snerk* Methinks Judas Liz is turned on by Linkara's taunts. Score for the Bard! OT3 fic in three … two …


Part 2:

"Oh, waiting … the fun part …"
MAKE OUT! … Please? It's Valentine's Day, for Cupid's sake! Celebrate the holiday of a Roman dude marrying people in secret and getting his head chopped off!

Linkara, it's been established that TGWTG resides on Planet Eris, your continuity especially. Roll with it, you lucky bastard.

*hums the Doctor Who theme* YAY! SQUEEEEEEE!

Hearing Linkara sque about Doctor Who makes ME squee.

HIS FAVORITE COMPANION IS CHARLEY!?!?!??!?!?!?! HE LISTENS TO THE AUDIO DRAMAS!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: LINKARA I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP BEING MY PERFECT MAN, NEITHER OF US ARE SINGLE AND I'M A CREEPY FANGIRL AND IT WOULD NEVER WORK!!!!!!!!!!!! IF I EVER MEET YOU AT A CON ALL I'M GONNA DO IS BLUSH AND RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*snerk* 69 … *kicks self*

"I kid, Colin Baker. I want that coat."
Linkara, my respect for you just dropped a couple points. *shudders* That … that COAT … MY EYES! *flails for my mad scientist goggles*

"How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"
*wants to make a lewd joke* … *stifles urge just barely*

"And yet all they do all day is exchange Tweets."
*snerk*

It is in fact a British thing to replace a 'z' with an 's' in many of their words. Caused me no end of confusion when reading Zoe Stead's drafts, I can tell ya. (Though it is cute to hear Linkara stuttering over 'synthesiser' all through this review.)

Lol, Battleship!

"How exactly is being a vegetarian a 'talent?'"
*sporfles* Indeed! Personally I'm slightly offended at the implication that being a vegetarian is just as kooky as searching for U.F.O.s and being a fortune teller and a water diviner, but that's just silly vegetarian me.

"Hah! I am catching up, Spoony!"
*grinz the grin of a slasher*

"Yeah, I felt that same way when I watched 'Love and Monsters.'"
*sporfleDIEZ*

"Until he's confronted by EVIL ALIEN SNUFFALUFFAGUS!!!"
*scary music sting*
*falls over sporfling*

"Hey, neat, his insanity is actually coming in handy!"
*cough* Get Insano *cough cough* he can help defeat Vyce *cough cough cough*

"But hey, what do I know about alien spaceships?"
Well, you were held captive on one for a while …

"FANTASTIC! Allons-y, everybody!"
*squee* That was self-indulgent, dude, and you know it! But … *squee*

"Now, punch it!"
How many shout outs can you count?

*SQUEE* More of Vyce's badass coat and Liz and Linkara's cool colorful gun and LIZ WITH SWORDS and OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!! VYCE, YOU HIT LIZ! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!

"Unimportant whelp …"
*WHAM*
"That woman stands alongside me and fights for this universe, with as much bravery and courage as any Champion. You're in MY house, Vyce, and you WILL show her respect!"
RAWR! *SQUEE* HURRAY! *kicks Vyce in the shins and runs*

EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE! Vyce decks Liz (NOT COOL!!!) and then grabs Linkara by the throat (SEXY) and slams him up against the wall (adlkajfdlkfjalfjalfjalfjal!!!!!!) and snarls "It was not wise to provoke me" and we see that he's wearing a WAISTCOAT (om nom NOM!) and Linkara grabs both his sonic screwdrivers and says "You know what, Vyce, I just think you just need some good vibrations" and sonics the dude's brain. AWESOME!

Um … I may have been slightly excited by Vyce grabbing Linkara's wrists so hard he had to drop both sonic screwdrivers … *ahem*

YAY! Lieutenant Munroe!!!

YAY! HARVEY!!!! *SQUEEEEEEEEEE*

Oh no, Vyce just lost me again, talking about cutting off Liz and Linkara's heads so he can hang them on his wall and "remember this fight" forever and ever. What a freak. WHY NOT SAY YOU'LL KEEP THEM AS YOUR SLAVES OR SOMETHING??!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME!??!?!?????!??! I'M A GOOD FANGIRL!!!!!!! I WOULD WRITE YOU GOOD FANFIC ONCE MY WORK SCHEDULE CALMED DOWN!!!!!!!

Auuuuuuuuuuuuh YEAH!!!!!!! Eleventh Doctor music! Linkara saying "Oh YES!" like Eleven! Liz and Linkara jumping up and grinning at each other and laughing at Vyce and being a total Battle Couple! SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Angry Joe storming Vyce's ship might just be the awesomest thing all week, I must say. Yelling and shooting and getting strangled (really, Linkara is too good to me) and using the Force lightning and everything … awesome.

"How did this force get through?"
*cackling*
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
LINKSANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW YOU'D RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUUUUUUUW! LOOKIT THE ADORABLE DOUBLE-AGENT MAD SCIENTIST!!!!!!!! WE LOVES HIM! WE LOVES HIM SO, SO MUCH!!!! *glomps*

"You should have kept him on a shorter leash."
DON'T GIVE US ANYMORE IDEAS! *sighs* Too late … *glances at the Kink Meme* Three … two …

"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
Ok, I'm not even into Power Rangers and I SQUEED.

Hoooooooooooly Hell in a handbasket, she's in battle armor now! … I need to go have a lie down, ok?

"Utto … time for a fanservice moment."
What part of this HASN'T been fanservice, fetish fuel, or both?

"Hey Vyce! I'm just distracting you so she can stab you!"
I love these two!

Yay, the gang's all here!

Vyce is unconscious, you say? *purrs* Kinky fanfic, here we come!

"Duuuuuuuuude, we should just shoot him again!"
Oh, 90's Kid … you will never get old.

"Know this: one day you will come crawling to me for help."
I certainly hope so! *rubs hands together*

"You know, I don't know many 'good guys' who enslave countless people on their insane quest."
Baron Klaus von Wulfenbach? Dunno if he counts …
I mean, what's going on in those universes Vyce conquered, I know he killed the Champions, but then what did he do to the universes? Kinda … judge-y, Linkara, you don't know the whole story here, about the Entity and how bad it is, or what it looks like or does, and for all you know Vyce was a reasonable, scared guy who went Extremist in order to save the Multiverse and started to let the power go to his head a bit. If he did all of that just because he thought you were gonna stand in the way of him getting at this thing, how bad must the Entity be? VERY BAD, I'm guessing. YOU FOOL!!!
Also, exiling Lord Vyce to the winter of Minnesota: a fate worse than death!

Utto … Admiral Ackbar? Is that foreshadowing?!?!??!

Eeeeeeee, Linkara got his own spaceship! He and Liz should have sex in every room! With Linksano!

Happy Valentine's Day indeed! The true meaning of Valentine's Day: beheadings and true love! (No, really, look it up …)


Utto … I do NOT like the sound of … whatever that was at the end of the video. Creepy and metallic sounding and static-y and EVIL and it made the film go fuzzy. Those are NEVER good on their own, let alone combined! *gulps*

Now you know I love Foeyay as much as the next person, but I just don't see Vyce/Linkara happening. xD Vyce seemed pretty committed to killing Linkara (unlike Insano/Linksano, who seem more concerned with simply beating him, and Mechakara, who was more interested in psychologically breaking him). Still, maybe Linkara pissed Vyce off so much that he ends up thinking death is too good for him and BAM, slave!Linkara fic.

You mentioned before something about Vyce putting Linkara in his harem along with the other defeated Champions, and I kinda love the idea even if it's ridiculous. xD Naturally most of the champions would be alternate universe Linkaras, so it's basically a harem of Linkaras. 8D *shot*

I KNOW! It makes me SAD. Such POTENTIAL ... and it was QUASHED like a ... like little hopeful thing that got quashed.

Vyce seemed pretty committed to killing Linkara (unlike Insano/Linksano, who seem more concerned with simply beating him, and Mechakara, who was more interested in psychologically breaking him).
True. FoeYay only seems to work properly when there's a lot of sparing-someone's-life going on in the equation. Hence the closeness and the intensity and the UNF and then the FoeYay fics.

Still, maybe Linkara pissed Vyce off so much that he ends up thinking death is too good for him and BAM, slave!Linkara fic.
Mmmmmm ... sorry, you've distracted me ... what were we talking about again? *drools a little*

*brain explodes*
...
Ahem, sorry about that, yes a harem of Champions made a lot of sense before we knew the whole story about Vyce. Them all being Linkara, that's just At4W expectations talking. I think all the Champions would be very different (in fact, originally I thought Iron Liz was going to be introduced as a Champion from another dimension herself ... until it turned out she was from this universe and Linkara's awesometastic girlfriend) and unique, not just various badass versions of Linkara. Though the later would be ... niiiiiiiiiice ...

Also, exiling Lord Vyce to the winter of Minnesota: a fate worse than death!

...and he has to also endure Rose's St Olaf stories!

sorry had to make a joke seeing how Rose from the Golden Girls is also from Minnesota

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Great update, Zel. :)

I have to say that having watched that recap of Nash's, the "Love and Monsters" reference made me grin. As did the "exiling Vyce to the winter of Minnesota" thing. :)

[malaloba.livejournal.com]

Huh … Assassin Lady looks a helluva a lot like Lord Vyce. But female. *prays desperately for Vyce to turn out to be a woman*

Her costume looks like something someone handed him and he rejected it and had the maker killer.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: LINKARA I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP BEING MY PERFECT MAN, NEITHER OF US ARE SINGLE AND I'M A CREEPY FANGIRL AND IT WOULD NEVER WORK!!!!!!!!!!!! IF I EVER MEET YOU AT A CON ALL I'M GONNA DO IS BLUSH AND RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just seriously cracked up at that. I swear that man has completely altered my standards for future boyfriends.

"FANTASTIC! Allons-y, everybody!"
*squee* That was self-indulgent, dude, and you know it! But … *squee*

You say that like every Whovian who watches At4W wouldn't have done the same thing.

"Unimportant whelp …"
*WHAM*
"That woman stands alongside me and fights for this universe, with as much bravery and courage as any Champion. You're in MY house, Vyce, and you WILL show her respect!"
RAWR! *SQUEE* HURRAY! *kicks Vyce in the shins and runs*
I was gonna aim slightly higher than the shins...

Happy Valentine's Day indeed! The true meaning of Valentine's Day: beheadings and true love! (No, really, look it up …)
Ever since last year, I have found that I love Valentine's Day since it's about snarky comic nerds with nice hats being awesome and kicking butt...I think I'm doing it wrong, but I don't want to do it right.

Utto … I do NOT like the sound of … whatever that was at the end of the video. Creepy and metallic sounding and static-y and EVIL and it made the film go fuzzy. Those are NEVER good on their own, let alone combined! *gulps*
Its sounds like something out of Silent Hill. Which, considering that leftover magic book from Dead/Alive, may be the point...*theorizes*

Long comment is long.

I know, right? (I think my current boyperson used to get jealous when I talked about Linkara. Now we're too busy making out for him to be jealous of an internet celebrity I've never even met.)

You say that like every Whovian who watches At4W wouldn't have done the same thing.
... yeah, you're totally right. *grinz*

I was gonna aim slightly higher than the shins...
Y'see, I'd have said that, but we don't know enough about Vyce's people's physiology. I mean, is Vyce male? Do males where Vyce is from have vulnerable genetalia? If they do, wouldn't he have that pretty well protected already, being in so many fights, like with one of those things that football players and Carrot wear? And ... yeah, I think waaaay to much about this sort of thing.

Chocolate + geekiness + love + history nerdiness potential = awesome.

ULP ...

Long comment is long.
I LIKE long comments. When I'm not horrendously busy, I leave BEASTS of comments.

I have no boyfriend to make jealous, but I do squee about At4W to a male friend of mine. (It's his fault in the first place)

Y'see, I'd have said that, but we don't know enough about Vyce's people's physiology. I mean, is Vyce male? Do males where Vyce is from have vulnerable genetalia? If they do, wouldn't he have that pretty well protected already, being in so many fights, like with one of those things that football players and Carrot wear?

It'd be worth a shot.

And ... yeah, I think waaaay to much about this sort of thing.


You're talking to someone who sits around and wonders why Vyce never uses anyone's name.

"PLEASE BE OK NINJA-STYLE DANCER! PLEASE!!!!!!!"
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was worried about him! He better find his way back in one piece!

"Unimportant whelp …"
*WHAM*
"That woman stands alongside me and fights for this universe, with as much bravery and courage as any Champion. You're in MY house, Vyce, and you WILL show her respect!"
RAWR! *SQUEE* HURRAY! *kicks Vyce in the shins and runs*
My inner romantic cried with joy. Especially it being Valentine's Day (or Single's Awareness Day in my POV).

Oh yeah, that fight in the second half was awesome! I was freaking out all over the place.

The creepy noise at the end... *shivers* Thank you for the nightmares!

Judas Liz snuck off to places unknown. Do you think she might show up in her own story arc? I really hope so! I'm curious to know more about her and I really want to see Judas Liz and Iron Liz fight more!

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was worried about him! He better find his way back in one piece!
WHY IS NOBODY BUT US CONCERNED?!?!?!?!?! MAIN CHARACTER!!!!! GONE!!!!! BEFORE A PIVOTAL BATTLE!!!!!! PLEASE BE OK NINJA-STYLE DANCER!!!!!!!!!
(I wouldn't be freaking out so hard if it weren't for that Body Horror fic that came out a couple weeks ago. I'm afraid it might have given Linkara ... ideas.)

My inner romantic cried with joy. Especially it being Valentine's Day (or Single's Awareness Day in my POV).
So what if they don't make out? They make it abundantly clear that they're soulmates. Though some kissing would be nice. For my inner squeeing fangirl.

[lit-wolf.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask what the Body Horror fic is?
