ORIGINAL INFO: To Boldly Go Where- wait, X-Men and Star Trek? AGAIN?!
RUMINATIONS: The Admiral’s uniform in this one was a donation by a fan and it’s pretty damn awesome since you don’t get to see First Contact-era Admiral’s uniforms that often, though it has its issues. The neckline of the red shirt it came with seems to be a bit more stretched (I swapped it out for the one I regularly wear) and the addition of heavier pips made it sink down a bit at times. Said Admiral’s pips are the standard pin clasp type instead of magnets like all my other pips, so they weren’t very straight most of the time. It also sadly didn’t come with a belt, although when I first tested the outfit, I tried it with the Legacy Power Morpher and its belt buckle. Didn’t look half bad with it, actually.
Two years later and I still haven’t read the tie-in novel, although a fan did send me a copy. Really that’s the thing you can take away from this episode - my fans are awesome and they send me awesome stuff.
"You don't get into comics to draw real people-unless you're Alex Ross..." So true. That guy is a master.
I think Linkara likes Star Trek, but he's just so subtle about it.
Oh, he's a Trekkie. In fact, he did a cross over with NC based on 1 of those Star Trek movies.
I'm sorry but, what does that mean?
+The Black Widower Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy is an alien from a species that doesn't understand metaphors or sarcasm
CurtissBGood. drax the destroyer is a human from earth...
if you spell subtly like this *flashing red lights and nightwish music plays*
I love how in both crossovers Wolverine gets humiliated by the Enterprise's biggest nerd.
21:27 "No". And then some months later..."So let's dig into Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared..."
+Pikatwig16 Patreon-sponsored, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. ^_~
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall uh... am I reading that second box right:
'Back in the 22nd Century, the Borg tried to change history by stopping the first warp drive from launching.'
There's more, but the rest looks all right. I doubt I need to explain what's wrong in that, I just find it odd you either don't notice it or don't mention it.
kadindarklord Didn't notice that! Made a note of it for a future missed opportunity.
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I might be remembering your comments about Troi wrong, but isn't Telepathic powers and Mind reading two different things. At least in Star Trek. Like Telepathy is mental communication and Mind Reading doing what it says on the label. Troi is capable of Mental Communication in the show, at least with her mother. Troi in fact says that she doesn't like to do it in one of them. Mental Communication is within Troi's abilities. Mental probing/Mind Reading isn't.
Also, another mistake. Why is Data listed as a full Commander? It's not like there isn't a Lt. Cmdr on the page, just three and four character panels down. Stupid comic.
+Pikatwig16 Actually, it was a few YEARS later.
Seeing Linkara covered in Pokemon Plushies and beanie babies is a sight that amuses me ^_^
When I first saw the panel at 10:42, it was so colourful and out of place that I thought everyone had gone to a wedding. They were certainly dressed for the occasion.
In case anyone is still around on this old Linkara episode, Kang sitting around in an anachronistic chair floating in the air and monologing into the void is completely normal behavior for him. His main base for a few years was a giant time dome with little bits of the Earth from across history in it. He took a job of mayor of a 1940s Wisconsin town as his honeymoon trip. He also likes to record captain's log type things when he is waiting for his schemes to come to fruition.
The book is really good actually. It blends the universes together by having a mutant gene happening on another planet, and there is a blend of a Universe where people and hated and feared vs a Universe where we all live together in harmony. It gets the point of why these universes are similar, and very different. I recommend finding some time to read it.
"editors can't write the books they edit" "Based on what I've seen, that doesn't seem to stop 'em" is my favorite riff from this one
I do want to see more Trek comic reviews...because I love seeing a fellow Trekkie riff them
No Picard-Xavier crossover? THEN WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS CROSSOVER?!...it's like having a My Little Pony-Star Trek crossover WITHOUT Q meeting Discord!
I keep on wanting to call Kang Krang...now that's a crossover...
Nah, the Robots didn't bother showing up-they saw that Congress was already doing their job
I'd love to see you riff that Borg game-Loved Noah Antwiller's review where of COURSE he kicks Q in the crotch
I read the novel long before even knowing the first part existed. I thought it was pretty good. The Author of it has written a ton of great Star Trek Novels, so you have a good basis.
I liked the novel. Loved the holodeck scene with Worf and Wolverine.
I kinda wanna see this crossover. and how they react to prof. X is also captain Picard.
They do have picard meet up with a holodeck simulation of Xavier in the novel though. They even mention that they have a resemblance to each other.
Linkara: No I won't review Star Trek/Doctor Who. It's good.
Me: *Looks to Up Next video and sees Star Trek/Doctor Who*
Patreon-sponsored reviews change my plans. XD
A 90s time travel star trek movie could TOTALLY work!
I had the novel when I was a kid. I just remember it being bizarre that they all seemed to already know each other. Guess this explains it.
By missing the chance for dueling Patrick Stewarts, this comic fails.
+Dan Smith They sure as hell forecasted it, though. That, and Halle Berry's roles as Storm AND Catwoman. Don't believe me? Look at 17:29!
They asked for permission but he declined. Apparently because he thought it would be weird if he played Xavier in the future...so he even predicted it
@@chad8767 Wait they asked his permission for what? To be in the movie or to put him in the comic using his likeness??
@@jfdrac to use a photo of him for a cover.
👍 👍 👍
Yeah, Colossus grew to like ten feet tall and got way stronger when he transformed, at least in the animated series, hard to say how often it happened in the comics.
Now for me to sit back and wait for even more silly Star Trek Crossovers. Power Rangers in Space, Madoka Magica, Mass Effect, Venture Bros, Bioshock, Captain Harlock take your pick.
+1TrulyMad Actually, in my opinion, a Mass Effect crossover would seem plausible because both franchises are about epic adventures in space
+Sailor Italy Now that I think about it yeah, if the enterprise had trouble with a Borg cube, I'd love to see them try taking on a Reaper.
1TrulyMad And there are weirder crossovers out there (Cough cough Mars Attacks and Popeye unconvincing cough)
+Sailor Italy What? And I thought the Archie and Predator crossover was weird enough, or the Archie Sharknado crossover.
+1TrulyMad
Kyubey: CONTRACT!? ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼.
Spock: Indeed.
They do have picard meet up with a holodeck simulation of Xavier in the novel though. They even mention that they have a resemblance to each other. It doesn't happen until the very end too. I guess they were saving it.
0:06 I guess you could say that Linkara has given himself a PRRRROMOTION!
Oh, _NOW_ Wolverine thinks to slice off an enemy's arm, not during the massive event comic centered around a villain with a cataclysmically powerful gauntlet!?!
What's funny is that anything that may seem like an inconsistency about Kang really isn't as practically everything to do with him is fair game. Like the floating chair? Yeah, no, that is TOTALLY a Kang-thing to do.
the "dueling Patrick Stewarts" actually does happened is a way in the novel with one of the xmen actually pointing the similarity out
You know it's X-men when things get complicated, convoluted and confusing really really quickly
To think that if IDW would've kept the Doctor Who license longer, we would've seen a second Trek/Who crossover where the 11th Doctor and Clara crosses paths with the crew of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. As a gigantic Deep Space Nine fan, that never happening is a damn shame.
Though honestly, I would've loved the 12th Doctor meeting them instead. 12 AND Sisko would be teh awesomesauce.
So...does this mean that Star Trek, Dr. Who, and the X-Men all exist in the same universe?
I'll settle for the same multiverse.
"Editors can't write the books they edit."
This guy (The guy behind today's kindling) hasn't read Countdown, has he?
Hah, always happy to see GX clips in your episodes. also anyone else notice in some shots Wolverine's claws look like they're missing the adamantium and look like real bone?
They should this is at the time he did NOT have his admantium (ripped out by Magneto)
Considering it's the 50th anniversary, I'm kinda surprised that there wasn't a Star Trek: DS9/Xmen crossover.
Robot Chicken having major "Night Shift" stuff going on is even MORE hilarious now...
7:23 there's a possibility that the federation discovered the Shi'ar in the 75 years between TOS and TNG
They really shouldnt it would make no sense that a massive Space EMPIRE would be unnoticed that long ...I mean the Shiar would be on par with Romulans or Klingons and based on the weapons they had...especially the Imperial Guard the Klingons would not stand a chance
The heck with Star Trek and Star Wars, I want a crossover between Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy, just so we can see the crew's reactions to Rocket and Groot.
Wait till Disney buys Paramount should be soon
The hurting a hand by smashing something happened in an episode of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, where the main villain hurt his hand briefly when he put it through a blackboard.
That has to be my favorite titlecard.
You should also be wondering why half the x-men there are there. In the X-Men Universe at the time that this crossover would be happening Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Shadowcat were on the X-Men Splinter team Excalibur, and Banshee was one of the two primary teachers for the next generation of mutants aka Generation X. Heck Angel shouldn't be there either as he was taking part in something else.. the only X-Men that should be there are Storm and Wolverine.
The crossover I'm still waiting for
MLP vs the Avengers vs Star Wars vs Star Trek vs Godzilla
Dawn of Justice.
Part II: The Electric Quickening.
Star Trek solostomps all of them
snakes3425 I'd read that
Powerpuff girls vs justice league vs lord of the rings vs Harry potter vs beetlejuice
Currently (2020), Kang's greatest claim to fame is being the villain of Lego Marvel Superheroes 2... Where he created a weird dimension that was kind of a rip off of Doctor Who's the War Games, but not really, because the game was like 2018, the War Games was 1969... By the way, The War Games: 4 hours of awesome. Seriously, ten 25 minute episodes, and it just flies by as if it was half the length.
I remember the war between humanity and the sentinels.... Good times. Fun fact the sentinels' weakness is jay pop.
3 way Rap Battle between Captain Picard, Professor Xavier and the Poop Emoji.
Linkara, you don't want a Star Trek/Wars crossover. The end times come from such things...
And it would probably mean the JJ Abrams versions of each...god help us all
I am imaging a Borg Death Star
@@jfdrac That . . . is unspeakably awesome.
@@matthewmckee3762 @Matthew McKee Of course 2 years later I realize how dumb it is ...Since Death Star Destroys and the Borg Assimilate...its the condrum between the Daleks and Cybermen
@@jfdrac True that. Still, one can dream.
I read the novel as a fourteen year old, and I remember enjoying it. Don’t know if it holds up, but at least for young teenage nerds it’s alright. So there’s that.
I am looking forward to IDW's inevitable MLP-Godzilla crossover
Now what I want to see is a crossover comic where the Legion of Superheroes fights against Kang in a battle for the space/time continuum.
21:30 Ironically one of the first suggested videos is your review of this exact crossover
Wait, Kang is a brightly coloured super villain from the future who wants to destroy the earth whenever it's convenient? *cough* Professor Zoom *cough*
Kang wants to conquer Zoom not so much he would be satisfied beating Flash
Also Kang was doing it.first.
How can you say that the list of unessisary and awesome crossovers will be complete when they dont have a Blake 7 crossover? (Heck Blake 7 could easily be fit into Trek)
There was a tie in novel with this comic between Star Trek and X-men that’s a shock
I own that novel... and I really liked it.
Sir Patrick Stewart vs Every Character He's ever Played (Or at least the famous ones)
Thank You For this upload Mr Lovhaug.
Today is my 19th Birthday and I credit you For getting me interested in Star Trek.
May I ask a few questions?
Will you review Titans/ Young Justice : Graduation Day for the 400th episode?
What do you think of Starfire's costume in the Teen Titans animated series?
Do you like the film 'Galaxy Quest' ?
Do you have the Marvel Super Special adaptation of 'The Dark Crystal ' ?
Keep up the good work.
In all honesty i liked it they merged the to story's together about as well as is possible Am talking about the The original Series/ X-men crossover
18:38 Kang really needs to talk to either Metron or Darkseid, because Marvel gives their time travelers/supervillains really lousy chairs.
Need a Star Trek/Justice League crossover.
By the by, will you review Heroes Reborn?
I'm still waiting for a Star Trek/Firefly crossover.
The only thing funnier than Worf getting tossed around is Wolverine getting tossed around
You never want get stuck on a u.s.s. Saratoga....that ship always get screwed
The fact that in this crossover we do not get a Professor X and Captain Picard scene between the two, with Patrick Stewart’s likeness, is a crime.
Also another thing that would prevent double Patricks is this was made in the 90's before the x-men movie.
Also by now there must be a bunch of enterprises running around Wolf-9 considering how many crossovers use that event
The threats the teams face seem kinda disproportionate. One team faces 3 sentinels. The other team faces a fucking borg cube!
I mean sentinels are tough, but they're kinda ineffectuel, except in large numbers. The X-men have defeated them before.
A borg cube, on the other hand, can conquer planets all by itself. Hell, the one they're facing at Wolf 359 nearly destroyed the ENTIRE Federation.
Hey, have you seen the Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes crossover yet? I stumbled across it on comixology a while back, and thought it was pretty good.
Linkara: I will not review the novel.
me: famous last words.
This seriously feels like it should've been one of the fake episodes from Star Trek The Next Generation Warped.
So that's how Bryan Singer chose Patrick Stewart as Professor X!
I should have guessed that Bryan Singer was a Star Trek Fan.
@@joe95883 I'd say that's more likely.
I actually read the novel not knowing there were any comics. That was like 20 years ago too
I really enjoyed the novel "Planet X" the first couple times I read it. But then time passed and I lost my original copy and then a few years later I fiund it again, bought it...and didn't enjoy it as much. Parts were still great, especially when they commented on the similarity between Professor X and Captain Picard, but overall after reading more books...it did kinda feel like glorified fanfiction.
Honestly if you were going to do a Star Trek/Marvel Universe crossover I definitely think the Borg are the most interesting element. Like imagine if they had to fight an assimilated Captain America... or god forbid Professor Xavier. It's obviously not canon, so why not just go ham with it? I guess it's to do with the duelling PR departments of the various franchises not wanting one to come out looking like it "beat" the other or something.
I feel like I'm the only person that liked Wesley. In my defense, I was a small child and he was a cute boy in space. I have no memories of what his character actually did. I just remember enjoying it when he showed up.
This reminds me: when will Linkara look at some of the Heroes Reborn comics?
My local library actually has a copy of the Star Trek TNG/X-Men novel. I remember them having it since it was released in 1998. I haven't read it yet, either.
14:46- And it was later adapted into arguably the best X-Men movie so far.
21:27- LIAR!
if you want a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover, there's already one.
fan series "star trek ; hidden frontier ".
MLP and Predator crossover! Make it happen people
16:00 The funny thing is, this WAS one of my first episodes and helped draw me into your series. :D
If you HAVEN'T seen the Doctor Who crossover, see it. Linkara did it for Patreon, and it IS good!
Thank you Patreon sponser.
+Eugenideddis Wel I'm not a Patreon sponsor, but I gave $300.00 to help make the movie, and I wanted to spread the word about a good comic Linkara reviewed.
+HeirofAzaran And my thanks to both bits! ^_^
I find your comment funny, considering 15:34
the problem is star wars just doesn't lend itself to cross overs, its in its final form a fantasy story with sci fi elements instead of castles, kings and armies. star trek doctor who and x men have weird tech that does anything you could want so it lends it self well to a cross over. i just don't see a star wars cross over with anything that isn't a comedy, like the muppet show having them as the guest stars ( yes that happend c 3p0 r2d2 and luke on the muppet show with kermit the frog)
Star Wars/Final Fanatsy Darth Vader and the Lich, Moogles and Porgs, Luke Skywalker and Cloud
epic rap battle of history professor x v. picard. yes. yes. YES! best idea you've ever had, Linkara. and you're pretty smart already. (unless it's computer history, but no one's perfect)
23:32 Data's face! Just....Data's Face.
I wonder if Linkara review Liefelds run of the Avengers.
Your criticism at the time of this review is totally valid. However, Star Trek: Prodigy tried so hard to redeem Wesley.... and honestly succeeded
Epic rap battles of history!!! Captain Picard... VS!! PPPPPfessorrrrrr XXXX!!!!!! Begin!
I actually read that novel . . . La Forge breaksdown Vagner's teleportation . . . through subspace. Ergo I've wondered; If Nightcrawler 'ports in the ship while it's @ warp ?;-)?
I read through Planet-X novel. I found the book pretty enjoyable. It could be my biast love of crossovers, but it is among my favourite novels. I suggest giving a read. There is more room for an actual story and can get the imagination going.
I actually used the Planet X novel for an English Class recently. Wrote an essay and presented a power-point on it.
Also, in case nobody else has mentioned it, the novel does have Xavier meet Picard, so there's your double Patrick Stewart right there.
AS a teacher or student?
They do any crossover for money.
Probably been mentioned already but at this point in the X-men Nightcrawler, Colossus and Kitty Pryde are in England as Excalibur and Banshee is a teacher for Generation x. Why are they there? Is it explained in story?
22:05-22:18 Hold on... THAT'S THE PREMISE FOR SEASON 3 OF THE FLASH!!! 0O0
I actually the "Planet X" novel (yeah I'm a nerd like that) and it's actually quite good, digging into themes the X-Men often deal with such as prejudice, fear, and hate of things unlike themselves.
It's actually about a planet were some of it's citizens start developing superpowers and the populace of course is scared of these developments and the Enterprise crew summon the X-Men for assistance in this matter given how well-versed they are and trying to dissfuse the situation before it becomes as bad as it is on Earth.
Has Charles Xavier ever met Lex Luthor? Because sometimes they're drawn too similar.
On the cover, Kate Pryde (Shadowcat) looks like the love child of Wolverine (X-23) & B'elanna Torres.
Yes ERBoH, Picard Vs Xavier ! ;-)
Too bad the show has died.....there was such great potential to go
I remember reading a MSTing of this back in the day. :p
So Linkara your thoughts on the Batman Ninja Turtles cross over? Also between that Superman for once being underpowered instead of overpowered, Jim Gordon is an Iron Man Batman hybrid, Peter Parker is richer than Tony Stark and now there's an alternative reality where Gwen Stacy is the one who got Spider powers all I can say is that this entire year when it comes to comics has been insane I may have to change my mind about only reading From trade collections even though I prefer the full arc some of this stuff is to crazy to pass up on. What next Marvel and DC announce a reboot to the Algamax universe?
At 6:30 best joke about the late 90s ever!!!!! Yes even more so than 90s kid.
Is it better than the Power Rangers/TMNT crossover?
+ThePreciseClimber Oh hell yhe there's only been 1 issue so farand Batman and the Shreder all ready had a Fight and they ended it with the Turtles looking over the Batmobile just as Batman gets back to it after fighting the Foot Clan serously it's as over the top as you'd think such a crossover would be and they were with an art style that works well with both series and we even got to see the Turtles fight Killer Croc!
He's not a TMNT fan, so he probably hasn't read it.
I do find hindsight to be funny sometimes. Linkara, said he would not review the Star Trek/Dr Who crossover because that comic was good... and two years later reviewed it out of patron sponsor.
So Linkara gave himself...A PRRRRRROMOTION?!?
21:29 Hurray for Patreon!(Sung very briefly to the tune of Hurray For Hollywood.)
It would not be hard to unite the trek world with the Star Wars galaxy. E.T's race traveled to Earth once, which could serve as a catalyst for how they meet. Captain Kirk and the Enterprise are dispatched on a temporal mission similar to assignment Earth episode but this time to the mid 1980s to investigate the events that took place in the Spielberg movie. After the boy Elliot returns E.T to the mothership, the enterprise locates it and pursues it out of Earth's orbit and into an artificially created wormhole that E.T's advanced race uses for galactic travel and emerge in the Star Wars galaxy. What happens then would take some damn good writing. Lucas put E.T. in episode 1 therefore he's canon Star Wars.
What are your thoughts on the Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes cross-over comic (or the Star Trek/Green Lantern cross-over)?
They should really ask Linkara before making any more crossovers.
WOW!!!!!!! PICARD AND PROFESSOR X LOOK SO MUCH A-L-I-K-E; I WONDER HOW THEY'D REACT TO SEEING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!
At 8:30... Is it me or does Cap look more like Captain Imperium than Captain America... Purging mutants one heretical schola at a time!
I have the novel "Planet X" and its ... not bad. There is this planet where people are suddenly getting superpowers, and the X-men see the comparison to the discrimination mutants deal with on their earth, its ... serviceable.
