I can't wait till we are all 60+ years old and he finally hits Clone Conspiracy and Viga is still bringing us amazing meme recreations for title cards

And thus Linkara reveals his insidious plot: drip-feeding installments of a series that people are into so we can never stop watching him

Lewis is so frustrated at the length of the Contest of Champion he bled through Linkara and broke the fourth wall instead of standing atop it.

Holy shit, Moarte is vicious when he wants to be. I keep forgetting that he's a flesh-eating ghoul with vast mystical power and not just a guy who tells cheesy jokes about horror comics and plays poker with ghosts.

What did we learn today? Everyone: The Clone Saga is way more convoluted than we could've imagined. Me, who hardly keeps up with comics: Mysterio banged Norman Osborn in a Gwen Stacy wig.

and we are reminded that Moarte is neither ally nor enemy to anyone, he isn't even a Trickster type character that can be persuaded to be on the side of the angels. He is Collector of tales from the dark, a Ghoulish host to the children of the night, and the Keeper of the Longbox of the Damned. He is Moarte and no one is safe from him...except maybe Mark

I love how much Linkara's dramatic acting, and Moarte makeup, has improved. Total props to everyone involved. And, once again, congratulations to Mark on his transition. I wish him the best in all endeavors.

My girlfriend was screaming the entire time during that Moarte stuff. The most dangerous ones are always those who would consider things like conquering us or something beneath them. He just wants to do his thing and not be angered. And dang, Mechakara has returned. Gonna be fun to see where that goes.

Interesting use of previous story arcs to explain how Moarte got involved in all this. Mechakara finally resurfacing and as theorized, he's turned himself into a cyborg. Kinda hope he finds a way to become a full robot again, he was really cool as one since the beginning.

Okay Having Mystero be the puppet master was absolutely brilliant and isn't done enough. Again these issues are super interesting in hindsight with Ottos redemption and modern-day full-time superheroics.

When you deliver your big villains, you DELIVER. I straight-up liked this video PURELYfor your speech on how the joys of torture and evil...are short-lived and the appetite ever-increasing but NEVER satisfied Edit: given your mentioning of the difference between when a good person dies, vs when an evil person dies, allow me to (as December is around the corner) bring up a quote from my favorite Christmas movie; It's A Wonderful Life "Remember, George, no man is a failure who has friends. P.S Thanks for the wings."

I actually imagine certain someone gifting Peter child size Dr. Oct arms, only that he'd send them with a card reading "for your dauther".

I've always loved the trope of the comedic side character that we've known for years turning out to be far more powerful than we ever thought, but they are just happy doing silly stuff.

I freaking love Moarte, and hoo boy did this do him Justice like I never realized he needed. An all powerful ghoul with a thirst for horror, but at the end of the day all he really wants to do is share his fun with kids in a harmless little web show. I wouldn’t mind an origin story for him. I’d also like to see more of Harvey, if anything to hear Luis sing some more, and Linksano.

It's good to know he didn't always want the contest of champions to go on for so long

14:09 The amount of restraint necessary to not make a bee movie joke there is very commendable

Thanks for the bee info Dr. Linksano. Now you can explain that to Tom servo and Crow t Robot so their heads don't explode

Anniversary episode?! Smash Bros Brawl's theme comes back! 3:28 I WAS JUST GONNA MENTION THAT! Even if Linkaa finishes 90s clone saga, there is still so much material related to it remaining to cover 4:26 Contest of Champions is Linkara's Clone Saga 11:06 the worst part is that if rumours are true, MARVEL WANTED to truly kill peter and replace him for ben during the spider-man beyond era. writers refused.... and well in zeb wells'run at the moment this video came out, realy makes this clip significant 14:20 How can bees fly? 18:31 Linkara's reference to Mysterio's role in Nick spencer's run

"I am not your failure." ok, that gave me tingles in my spine - as a surviver who sometimes has to deal with family who makes it about them, i totally understand where she's coming from

Holy shit. 14 years. You haven't aged a day Linkara. Thanks for all the fun times :)

I gotta say, the coughing and wheezing are much more effective than screaming. Those sympathy pains I felt were intense! Also, I love that Moarte is friends with Mark

Can I just say I love what you did with Muarte here? He's a great character, and I've always loved characters that are primarily just kind of goofy secondaries, but every once in a while, you get the idea that they're actually insanely powerful. And I love that you had him explain "I'm not doing this for you, I'm not doing this out of some sense of a threat, I was annoyed and I dealt with it; but I'm NOT going to be a deus ex machina for your stories." It lets him continue to be his usual self without your stories constantly begging the question "oh, is Vice/MechaKara/etc back? Why not just call Muarte?" Solid storytelling man.

39:23 - 40:12 😨Oh God... *He's* back! "In Life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate." - Isaac Asimov

Dude! Love it. What a fantastic resolution to both the Moarte fireside stories & the post-comic storyline conflict 😆 long socks of the damned. 😆 Happy tenth anniversary Moarte

I kinda liked this storyline, if only for Peter using Ock's tentacles and Mysterio being the true mastermind. I love Mysterio and his plan here was actually quite clever.

After nearly a month of silence, it is so good to finally hear the theme song again and hear you snark at a bad comic/storyline. It’s a shame that you had to skip Secret Origins Month this year, as that is my favorite time of year for this show.

Wow, feels like just a year ago we were celebrating the 13th anniversary. How time flies.

Ok, that backstory for Moarte was unexpected but not unwelcome! Yikes he’s scarier than expected. Very cool. Also, yea for getting to see Mark! And damn, Mirror Magic Gun teaming up with *that particular recurring baddie* - in case anyone is reading th3 comments without finishing the video no spoilers- is going to be creepy as heck and I am here for it! Great job Linkara!

The bit about Mysterio got me thinking about it, but Supervillain impersonation has to be like an every other week sort of occurrence. If you've got the tech for it, and are confident in your ability to shrug off the reprisals, faking a supervillain could be pretty profitable too

And we'll never see doctor octopus again... He comes back one year later

"I have seen the face of God, and it is my own is such a raw line."

At some point I think Linkara might just get so fed up with all of this that he decides to have a WHOLE year dedicated to his book. It would be perfect! It would feel like it takes forever, meanders, and he still wouldn’t be nearly done! 😂

Always amazed by how much time and effort you put into ALL of your content! Happy 14th anniversary, Linkara! Looking forward to the next 14 years and beyond!

Shot in the dark: Maybe Kaine’s suit was insulated and that’s why Electro couldn’t hurt him?

"That's not news. That's sensationalism!" So...if this had been in Sensational Spider-Man it would have been fine?

Some of Linkara's best acting.

It’s amazing how I’ve been following your show for the past twelve years, and never I missed an episode. Thank you for your amazing job, you helped me through some though times, when I most needed levity and fun. Lotta love from Italy!

22:55 Speaking to Lewis directly here: I really needed to hear that. That makes this video all the more better. Kudos.

Oh my gosh! The story bit was so, so good! It's always fun when we get to see Linkara's philosophical side. And we finally learn about where Moarte came from . . . and that he is much, much scarier than than a simple ghoul. And the return of Mecha-Kara! Awesome!!!!!

Congrats on the anniversary Lewis! Been a fan for years, will be for many more.

The Contest of the Damned Champions is now taking longer than the Clone Saga.

You'd think having Spider-Man wielding Doc Ock's tentacle arms would have made a half-decent cover for ONE of the issues of this thing.

This was literally the first time that I was genuinely scared of Moarte... your acting and writing are phenomenal as always, Lewis! Happy 14th Anniversary Linkara! Happy 10th Anniversary Moarte! Looking forward to the next anniversaries!

I know I’m late on this, but congrats on 14 years of awesomeness, Linkara

I hope this doesn't sound too mean, but Mirror Margaret's stilted line delivery, to me, really emphasizes her backstory. Because she hasn't actively done much since Mirrorkara was defeated, it feels like she's been rehearsing lines like those a bit because they sound cool. Even if she means it, it feels like she doesn't actually believe it. Just trying to convince herself. I doubt this is actually the case, but that's how it feels like to me. Because she's just a girl, like LInkara says. Not a god. And her line delivery kinda shows that.

My god if you ever do finish the clone saga, the "all-in-one" compilation video is gonna require at least two full days to watch

Thanks Dr Linksano^^ I was always confused on why they say that crap about Bumblebee not being able to fly. Finally I got a clear explanation on it^^

38:18 Why does that sound like Moarte would gladly partake in Linkara's antics, if his format was more like "anythin goes, everythng gets back to the status quo at the beginning of the next episode anyways"

"If only we could do that to all government figures." Private industry, first.

Okay Moriarty is officially the scariest person you have on your show you have a very dangerous friend

Oh, wow, the storyline segment was emotional. I really liked the callbacks to past stories.

I love the Halloween storyline this year it was really good and love the team up.

Interesting Review. I laughed quite a bit at that bit regarding Mysterio's part in "Sin's Past" and the resulting mental image. And the story segment reached quite the thrilling conclusion. Once again, I would like to wish Moarte a happy 10 year anniversary.

i will admit this was amazing and i like how he worked morte into the gunslinger arc because the timeline of events makes sense and i liked how he brought back mechakara

Your story segments are always worth the wait. They're so cool 🤩

Can't wait for Linkara to tackle the Ultimate Clone Saga since that series actually slaps and is one of the best things Brian Bendis ever wrote!

“Good people are revered and raised up” as the camera has the white ranger helmet in the background 😞……….was that on purpose Lewis?……because thank you.seriously thank you for that man

I don’t know whether invoking The Bee Movie with that line would’ve been hilarious or not. The G-Man reference I knew was gonna happen and did not disappoint.

Linkara and TF2, the two immortals that someone refuse to change but still stay relevant due to sheer quality, congratulations on 14 years.

Lol I love the thumbnail! That's one of my favorites memes to come from the DC CW shows 😂 Happy 14th anniversary Linkara!

I have been cultivating these worms for over 45 years. Every time you've told me to pick you either you or the worms, I'd pick the worms EVERY TIME!!!

"The Amazing Octo-Spidey!" I'd have gone with Spiderpus myself.

13:50 - It took me a minute to realize they were talking about the insect, not yet *another* character named Bumblebee. I was like, "God, how many characters use that name?"

Type F to pay respects in chat for both Doc Ock and Jason David Frank

Nice speech there, Linkara. Cruelty is a fools run. AT BEST, it should only be used once if we go by Machiavelli. We may never know the true origins of Moarte but at least we know how Moarte came to 'meet' Linkara. Pity he doesn't like serialized rumps of Linkara but to each there own. Ah, Mechakara. Still hating his new existence in the flesh. This will prove most entertaining.

One day Lewis, you’ll get to Spider-Verse/Spider-Geddon eventually. Until then, happy anniversary AT4W- keep on kicking ass and reading comics!

You gotta admit "a farewell to arms " is a good pun here XD

35:51 A Magic Box… 🎶WHERE’D HE PURCHASE THAT?!🎶

Me 5 years ago: ok, Moarte is hilarious. Me after this scene: I think I peed a little...

14 years and still putting out amazing work!

Wow, 14 years already? I guess it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun. Linkara is one of my favorite reviewers, starting when he was still on ThatGuyWiththeGlasses (yes, I’m old. Lol.)

There are also 2 additional clone sagas. Both Miles Morales as well as Peters daughter Mayday recieved also their own clone-sagas respectively, giving us pretty much a good guy version of Spider-Cide for Miles as a clone turned good, and April Parker, aka Spider-Girl Blue (who is an homage character based on the Superman Red & Blue" story-arc from the silver age)

Okay...Moarte curb-stomping the Mirror Magic Gun spirit is not something knew I needed in my life. I hope we get to see more of Moarte being a badass in future storynlines.

Props for the Credits to Navy Beans thing. I don't know if that's more a Star Trek reference or Allison Preggler nod, but either way I caught it.

Love the thumbnail! Great job Viga!

Spider-Man absolutely going off the rails and reforming the Sinister Six as partvof living up to Doc Ock's legacy would make for a wildly amusing "What If," I must say. Totally, insanely unjustifiable, but I'd love to read it.

19:13 They better have Across The Spider Verse include Octo Spidey as an alternate universe version as a reference to said finale.

Happy 14th anniversary Linkara. Here's to another 14.

So then, Mechakara is truly dead. And Cyborkara has risen to take his place

During that whole bee rant, I was expecting a reference to a certain animated movie

I’m so surprised 14:04 didn’t lead into a Bee Movie joke… that must either have been an act of great restraint or a shoo-in for an entry on the next missed opportunities list.

18:32 never read the comics, but I love this twist of canonical fate

When you unfold Morate's backstory, you reffer to the gun with She/Her pronouns despite Mark using He/Him. It's probably a mistake, but I thought it should be mentioned.

Happy 14 years, Linkara. I hope you keep being awesome. Have a good day.

Bumblebees. We know how they fly, but not how they solve the traveling salesman problem in sub-factorial time.

So this is 'The Great Linkara' I've heard so much about. Absolutely amazing good show indeed.

I accept this also as a thanksgiving episode even with the Halloween decorations

0:09 I was expecting you to say 'And yes, as is customary for the anniversary, it's incredibly late.' 4:33 When's the race, by the way? 18:40 I hope you mean Mysterio has a blonde wig _over his helmet._ Honestly, I was hoping the Halloween story arc this year would end with Linkara saying "Wait, you can't kill me! It's not Halloween anymore!" And then the whole place turns into the Christmas set.

To summarize the speech at the end good will always triumph over evil because evil is dumb

if it's any consolation, you probably do better on scheduling than i would in your place--knowing me, i'd have gotten burned out and stopped altogether a long time ago, coming back only occasionally, so you get kudos from me for keeping at this for all these years. i'm sure we all understand your scheduling issues and will gladly overlook them in exchange for great content like this :)

Felicidades por 14 años Lewis(Linkara) Salud y Éxito y Vida!

This is the face of existential horror in the corporate world. It never ends. The 90's are a time anomaly, a decade with a hundred years worth of suffering. This is my Hellbound Heart.

Happy belated anniversary!

It's so funny he's been covering the saga for so long and we STILL haven't even gotten to Norman Osborn's return

i appreciate mark's existence so much, its always nice to see rep : )

"and I bet you credits to navy beans..." Nice reference there, my good sir! Allison's Star Trek videos are definitely my favorite content of hers and I would so love it if the two of you reviewed Star Trek V together sometime. PS eldrich level ghoul and patchwork Mechakara are awesome!

I freaking love Viga's art for this episode!

4:45 I relate to that waaaaaaaay too much. I started a series of mini-comics as a way to quickly introduce some new characters into my work, back in late 2019. they already had character profiles released, so this was more of a formal introduction. plus, the stories would be dialogue free (mostly) for any non-english speakers reading. 10 comics at 1-2 page length. sounds easy, right? done in a month or two, right? I'm still not done. almost 3 years and I'm *still* working on it. granted, 2020 happened shortly after I started and the rest of the 2020's so far haven't been much better, but still. I understand the feeling of frustration. still, I've made it for 5 years, and you've made it for 14. so here's to many years more, for both of us.

CYBERKARA AND MIRROR MARGRET TEAM UP AAAAAAA Great finale to this mini arc even if part of me wishes Mark had a little more to do it in it, but a Moarte save is always dope, even if I suspect this will be the last one for a while due to his personal preferences. Very excited to see what happens next! So much pocket universe generation tech… I wonder if Vyce filed a copyright

17:41 "Ross! Andrew!" A subtle shout-out to former Spidey artist Ross Andru, who'd passed away in 1993?
