In speaking of the "KHAAAAN!!!" yell, in the comic adaptation of Revenge of the Sith, in the part where Darth Vader gives out his famous "NOOOOOO!!!", it was done in one splash page, with Force destruction going all around him and the Emperor, and the word balloon was done in huge ass font and in dramatic jagged lines to ad the effect.
It's like if "I am your Father" and all the "NOOOOOO"s from Star Wars were in tiny corner panels of their adaptation. Like a poor marksman this comic keeps MISSING the TARGET!
It cracks me up to NO end that miss marvel managed to do a better "Khan!" yell, in a panel roughly the same size. Dude who did it even had Shatner - esque hair.
Here's how I'd envision the "KHAN!!!" yell as a pair of 2-page spreads: A bird's eye view of Kirk screaming with a anger-induced expression on his face, arms raised high up and hands now in a tight fist, with the communicator nearly crushed. Everyone stood back in shock. The first *"KKKHHHAAANNN!!!!!!"* yell is on the top of the first 2-page spread and in big red firey letters. The second 2-page spread shows the planet: Regula I with the second *"KKKHHHAAANNN!!!!!!"* yell echoing through space. And finally, a right bottom corner panel of Khan sighing in victory.
Linkara: clearly it's a Yeerk from Animorphs. Me: it must have been three days since it was last in its pool. Linkara: I am such a nerd. Me: Yes, yes you are. Which is why I love watching your stuff.
Honestly, *before* Khan goes on about how Kirk "tasks" him, and he can't allow himself to rest until his wrath is satisfied, one of my favorite parts in the movie *is* Joachim suggesting that Khan has proven himself better than Kirk by escaping Ceti Alpha V, and between that and the fact that, well, they've got a spaceship and they're no longer stuck in the desert, they can just let the ball stop there. Eh? Eh? ...what, nothing on how the United Federation of Planets still has Youngblood's Disease in the in the 23rd Century? :P (Although on a closer look at the classic cases, this comic doesn't have it quite so badly as they did in the '90s. Maybe it would be more accurate to say they've developed a treatment, but haven't wiped it out? ... Wait a minute... the 1990s? The Eugenics Wars? ... Carry on.) ... Yeerks!
15:52 ... From what I recall, in the movie, Carol didn't even *tell* Kirk that she was preggo with their son. The fact that Kirk even *had* a son came as a big surprise to him.
Well Kirk did actually get Miramanee pregnant in The Paradise Syndrome. It just didn't end well. The effects for Pollo looked really good. Your summation of Kirk's character and how this comic bungled the story were very on point. Great stuff as always. P.S. I actually stopped watching this show for a while so I could binge-watch The Original Series and its movies, because of your glowing recommendation in the previous review, and have been re-watching up to this point. Thanks again.
Pollo: There's cameras everywhere on this ship. So, when do we learn that Pollo sold videos showing Linkara on the ship's bathrooms (because, in a ship with at least 15 decks, there will be bathrooms) to The Worshippers of The Brown Linkara (a cult composed of people who wear the same clothes as Linkara and try to kill the people who did bad comics - since for every intelligent person who try to do something good, there will be people who won't understand what he meant to do and screw things up)?
you know i kinda noticed a couple of things about Star Trek 2 1. Why is Khan asking about info about the Genesis Device? Shouldn't it be on The Reliant Computer's or something? maybe it was classifiled on the Reliant's computer just like it was the enterprise's (taken from CinemaSins Everything Wrong with Star Trek 2) 2. Something kinda funny. When Khan shouted Fire during his first attack on the Enterprise, i noticed nearly everyone in the room with him jumped a little.
What bothers me in the movie is that Chekov tells the away team that Khan put brain-controlling creatures in him and Captain Terrell, and Doctor McCoy doesn't even bother checking them out medically until phasers are drawn and a redshirt is vaporized. Uh, Doctor, don't you have a medical tricorder with you? One that can detect things like parasites and whatever else? Maybe Doctor McCoy was working on drinking the rest of his stash of Romulan ale before they beamed over...
I believe that, since news of spocks death broke out early, the film was reworked to have Spock die later in the film. That scene where Scotty rings up his nephew was supposed to be Spock, and they just swapped it with the nephew. Spock essentially leaves the film at that point after all. There but not there
This might be a bit silly to ask but why aren't there any "Green" Themed uniforms in the Federation, what's them being against green? :P I mean I've seen the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine entire series's but I don't think I saw any Green themed Federation officers or people from the federation. Also in regards to Genesis it sounds like the Federation should contact Magrathea so they can have more Custom constructed planets, Yes Constructed since Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy likes to have silly ideas. :P
+JKAzrael247 Not sure, exactly. There IS a green variant Captain's uniform in the original series, but in terms of a Green department uniform, none really exist. I HAVE seen a green variant exist, however, in an old text-based RPG I used to be a part of that I think got it from non-canon Trek tabletop RPGs where green was used for the Starfleet Marine Corps, but take that with a grain of salt.
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Huh interesting, glad you got back to me quite quickly I might add, I would recommend you have a Green style Star-fleet outfit on Star trek themed ATFW episodes. Maybe it could go well with the Comicron-1 style. Also in regards to Star Trek movies my favourite is the Undiscovered Country, I guess I like the dark but also tone that decides the fates of empires and nations. But hey I like Wrath of Khan from time to time. :)
+JKAzrael247 originally there were green uniforms... the goldshirts, they were actually green, but the lighting made them look yellow and they decided to keep them yellow for the future, so while behind the scenes they were green, in canon they are yellow, it's why Kirk's alternate shirt is green
19:15 Captain we've gone code nerd! CODE NERD! LINKARA IS GONNA NERD RANT! Man positions! (Honestly I nerd rant too I'm not doing to be mean, I'm being snarky)
The scene where Kirk, McCoy, and Spock discuss Genesis may've been minor to the story. But it was a great scene nonetheless with Spock and McCoy nearly coming to blows. And we get "Khan!", instead of "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!"? Thank goodness I'm not a comics nerd.
The problems of food and overpopulation that are brought up in the opening pages are things that even 40k freakin figured out with it's Hive Worlds and Agri-Worlds, and yet the thing implies that even Star Trek didn't even think of similar system?!?
Well, ACTUALLY, 99.99% of the human population of the galaxy in TNG times are descended from Jim Kirk. Yes, he really does get around that much. It's how, like, almost all of Asian people nowadays say they have ancestry tied to Genghis Khan (obviously hyperbole, but you get my point). Actually, that just gave me a kind of cool, albeit really minor plot point they could apply to Riker in TNG: he could totally just one day say Kirk is a distant ancestor of his, and I would totally buy it, no questions asked.
Knowing how much you hate questions such as 'WHAT DO YOU THINK..insert thing here', but I must ask, with the new series of Star Trek coming, and it being based between Undiscovered country (My own favourite Star Trek film) and TNG, do you envision a new uniform, or this style. I know the Enterprise C in Yesterday's Enterprise had that uniform, but do you envision the same for the new Star Trek?
You know, saying "I am such a nerd" like it's some sort of self deprecation. Being a nerd is not some flaw or shortcoming, not something about which to make a derogatory remark. It's like self-hatingly saying, "There's iron in my blood", or "I have kidneys".
$59.95?! that's insane! it makes planets habitable and it only costs nearly 60 bucks?! are you high?! i've seen lego sets of the daily bugle worth ten times that much!
Yup comics keep going up....especially with Indy companies tending to be more expensive. I expect soon that it will be 5 dollars for these.....of course now the whole series can likley be found for about 75 cents in the quarter bins lol
+Majin Boo In the first movie, they switched up the uniforms to reeeaaally ugly beige, eggshell blue, and white colors and the like that everybody hated, so in the movies afterwards they decided to create new ones that looked more professional and naval in design. Not sure why it's red, but I think it looks good.
LOL like wearing a blue or a gold shirt was ever any sort of guarantee for survival in the original series for anyone who wasn't cast or recurring supporting cast :)
I never understood why Kirk yelled "KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" to THAT, of all things. Just Khan saying "I'mma leave you buried alive on that planet, kthanxbai". That's why I much prefer Spock's scream of the line in Into Darkness. It's actually in response for doing something bad. Yes, Khan technically never fired a shot at the Enterprise, meaning Kirk's death wasn't his fault so much, BUT Khan did kill Admiral Marcus, whose fault Kirk's death was, and Spock realized that Khan stole his chance to avenge his best friend.
Watch the fucking film he thinks he’s leaving him in a barren rock with nothing on it for food whereas in into darkness he shouts khan because... I forgot that’s how much little impact Kirk dying was it was just Kirks dead but don’t worry we won’t let this be a thing we can just fix immediately after we are done wrapping up this fight scene
In speaking of the "KHAAAAN!!!" yell, in the comic adaptation of Revenge of the Sith, in the part where Darth Vader gives out his famous "NOOOOOO!!!", it was done in one splash page, with Force destruction going all around him and the Emperor, and the word balloon was done in huge ass font and in dramatic jagged lines to ad the effect.
It's like if "I am your Father" and all the "NOOOOOO"s from Star Wars were in tiny corner panels of their adaptation. Like a poor marksman this comic keeps MISSING the TARGET!
It takes an exceptional level of ineptitude, almost deliberate, to mess up such a memorable scene...
The yell makes it seem like Kirk is just calling down the stairs at Khan.
"Khaaan! You forgot to flush the toilet! Get back up here you disgusting lazy cretin!"
Linkara should've done the "fail" line in the style of "KHAN!!" to show the comic how it's done.
I can't *believe* he didn't go for that joke!
Maybe it would've been too easy somehow.

David Spring THE ANIMORPHS ARE STILL ALIVE! YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!
thank you i was about to comment this.... the yeerk comment made me squeal like the fanboy i am.
Megatron approves!
"The T stands for 'totally kicked your ass."
I'd have gone with "totally Kirked your ass," if it were me, but that's fine too.
Pollo: "i have been, and always shall be... your friend"
DAMMIT LINKARA! DON'T YOU DARE!!!
D; This is HEAVY 4-Shadowing!
'If we keep our props in the shadow like this, it'll wind up fading...'
18:11 bookmarking the KHAAAAAAN! rant
19:08 I think that is the most legit outrage I've heard you belt out watching these MANY story-arc reviews in the last 2 weeks.
9:24 - 9:30
In fact, Kirk...it’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere, I’m all alone, more or less...
"You have interstellar flight, I think you can find some new planets to settle down on and grow corn!" LMFAO!
Kirk kinda looks more like Tim Allen than the Shat in a lot of this comic.
Its a Galaxy Quest prequel comic
Nah, this is Buzz Lightyear's origin story.
Honestly, *before* Khan goes on about how Kirk "tasks" him, and he can't allow himself to rest until his wrath is satisfied, one of my favorite parts in the movie *is* Joachim suggesting that Khan has proven himself better than Kirk by escaping Ceti Alpha V, and between that and the fact that, well, they've got a spaceship and they're no longer stuck in the desert, they can just let the ball stop there.

...
Yeerks!
15:52 ... From what I recall, in the movie, Carol didn't even *tell* Kirk that she was preggo with their son. The fact that Kirk even *had* a son came as a big surprise to him.
Khan? Khan! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!
I get it, a MGS reference.
Well Kirk did actually get Miramanee pregnant in The Paradise Syndrome. It just didn't end well.
The effects for Pollo looked really good.

I love all the animorph love you are dishing out!
Hey, I remember that "He tasks me!" scene. That was in Freakazoid! :)
Most iconic line in the movie: "DEET DEET DEET".
Pollo is my favorite.
Pollo: There's cameras everywhere on this ship.
So, when do we learn that Pollo sold videos showing Linkara on the ship's bathrooms (because, in a ship with at least 15 decks, there will be bathrooms) to The Worshippers of The Brown Linkara (a cult composed of people who wear the same clothes as Linkara and try to kill the people who did bad comics - since for every intelligent person who try to do something good, there will be people who won't understand what he meant to do and screw things up)?
"KHAN" Kirk said calmly
I wish this episode was a 2-parter just to be able to say "Star Trek 2, The Wrath of Kahn 2, Part 2".
you know i kinda noticed a couple of things about Star Trek 2
1. Why is Khan asking about info about the Genesis Device? Shouldn't it be on The Reliant Computer's or something? maybe it was classifiled on the Reliant's computer just like it was the enterprise's (taken from CinemaSins Everything Wrong with Star Trek 2)
2. Something kinda funny. When Khan shouted Fire during his first attack on the Enterprise, i noticed nearly everyone in the room with him jumped a little.
It would have been classified and only Kir's retina scan unlocked it so I can assume its no one lower than Admiral who can get it
What bothers me in the movie is that Chekov tells the away team that Khan put brain-controlling creatures in him and Captain Terrell, and Doctor McCoy doesn't even bother checking them out medically until phasers are drawn and a redshirt is vaporized. Uh, Doctor, don't you have a medical tricorder with you? One that can detect things like parasites and whatever else? Maybe Doctor McCoy was working on drinking the rest of his stash of Romulan ale before they beamed over...
So the lens flares weren't a JJ Abrams thing.
I believe that, since news of spocks death broke out early, the film was reworked to have Spock die later in the film. That scene where Scotty rings up his nephew was supposed to be Spock, and they just swapped it with the nephew. Spock essentially leaves the film at that point after all. There but not there

Probably on a practical level it would have interfered with green screen.
yep. my thoughts exactly.
19:15
Captain we've gone code nerd! CODE NERD! LINKARA IS GONNA NERD RANT! Man positions!
(Honestly I nerd rant too I'm not doing to be mean, I'm being snarky)
6:35 How, you ask? WITH SCIENCE, OF COURSE!!!
*sighs* linkaras rage its like that chilled water after a hot day outside also someone send linkara a replica red lantern ring
ADMIRAL PETER GRIFFIN : BIRD IS THE WORD !!!
4:04 The one failure? Kahn's face, man.
The scene where Kirk, McCoy, and Spock discuss Genesis may've been minor to the story. But it was a great scene nonetheless with Spock and McCoy nearly coming to blows. And we get "Khan!", instead of "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!"? Thank goodness I'm not a comics nerd.

Creating a planet in only six minutes? Genesis does what Ninten-don't!
SpyHunter29 that’s already the top comment. Read the comments before posting.
You just know that the guy who was put in charge of adapting the KHAN yell got fired for that fuck up
It'd be funny if he was named Khan
I had to go and watch the scream done properly to fell better after this
Well, ACTUALLY, 99.99% of the human population of the galaxy in TNG times are descended from Jim Kirk. Yes, he really does get around that much. It's how, like, almost all of Asian people nowadays say they have ancestry tied to Genghis Khan (obviously hyperbole, but you get my point).

Of course its get akward when Troi reveals she also had a Grandfather named Kirk
Incest? More like wincest!
Although, scientifically, the genetic risk isn't actually much higher than it would be otherwise...
Knowing how much you hate questions such as 'WHAT DO YOU THINK..insert thing here', but I must ask, with the new series of Star Trek coming, and it being based between Undiscovered country (My own favourite Star Trek film) and TNG, do you envision a new uniform, or this style. I know the Enterprise C in Yesterday's Enterprise had that uniform, but do you envision the same for the new Star Trek?
Wow, so J.J. Abrans screwed both Star Treck and Star Wars, what a track record.
Theory: MechaKara's version of Linkara was not a nice person. I'd say it was mirror Linkara but we know what happened to alt Linkara.
You know, saying "I am such a nerd" like it's some sort of self deprecation. Being a nerd is not some flaw or shortcoming, not something about which to make a derogatory remark. It's like self-hatingly saying, "There's iron in my blood", or "I have kidneys".
You and your kidneys. We don't take kindly to your type.
wich is your favorite Star Trek Uniform?
best line ever 20:55
9:14 pretty sure that's an earth saying too Khan but ok
Cool part two.
Your,,,,,,, Shatner,,,,,,is,,,,,,,,great!
Linkara can you please review the death of Spider-Man???
$59.95?! that's insane! it makes planets habitable and it only costs nearly 60 bucks?! are you high?! i've seen lego sets of the daily bugle worth ten times that much!
Love your video's
Love the animorphs reference. deep down i think everyone is a nerd and honestly im enjoy being a nerd myself.
Also y get rid of a icon line
+5 cool points for an Animorphs reference
Why, is that the theme from Match Game '90 I hear during your Genesis Device infomercial?
Because it sounds good as quick infomercial music?
I'm not questioning why, I'm just surprised to see-- er, hear-- it here.
Ah that is where the Match Game came in I could not figure it out
So what was really one of the best opportunities that could have been given for a comic, was thrown away
+Athavan Rajasingham It wasn't thrown away, it was buried alive, buried alive.
That 3D model of poyo (I hope that's spelled right) bugs me. The textures are good but the movements don't look right...
Glitch Michaels Pollo. It's Spanish for chicken!
Wait...!
Comic costs four bucks? So at three comics, it's at least 12 US dollars? I bought the movie on Blu-Ray for 10! Just buy the damn movie!
Yup comics keep going up....especially with Indy companies tending to be more expensive. I expect soon that it will be 5 dollars for these.....of course now the whole series can likley be found for about 75 cents in the quarter bins lol
Is it ever stated how many followers Khan has left by the events of the movie
Was there ever a Khan Con?
COOOOOOOOOOORN!
CAAAAAAAAAAARROOOOOOOOOOOOTSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
CEEEEEEELLLLLEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Lol!
Love your vidoes
They comically missed the point?
They KEEP MISSING THE TARGET!
Four people apparently meaning to review the comic and not this video...
Does Liz have a channel
what is it
Between the portrayal of Kirk and Spock, the poor interpretation of Trek, the lens flares....do you think JJ Abrams is a big fan of this comic?
What you talking about, those movies are great.
Animorphs!? F*** YEAH!!!
More art fail that I just noticed in the recap panel: Some of Khan's men are wearing cardboard boxes with vest/armor details drawn on.
FAIL! YOU FAILED THIS FANBASE!!! seriously how the heck do you mess up the *KHAN!!!!!* part?!?!? ugh......
18:35
So star trek genesis like star wars death star
Who is the Other Pollo?
Watch the previous episodes in the storyline. =)
No its a Khan Worm from supernatural
16:08
Grammar error! Needed a ? Mark!
Now I'm not the biggest Star Trek fan, but why is everyone a redshirt? I thought those were engineers.
+Majin Boo In the first movie, they switched up the uniforms to reeeaaally ugly beige, eggshell blue, and white colors and the like that everybody hated, so in the movies afterwards they decided to create new ones that looked more professional and naval in design. Not sure why it's red, but I think it looks good.
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I wasn't implying it was bad, just confused.
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I thought the Red shirts were the ones who were ALWAYS first to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL like wearing a blue or a gold shirt was ever any sort of guarantee for survival in the original series for anyone who wasn't cast or recurring supporting cast :)
