    Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 189: Darkman. Darkman is a 1990 kinda-superhero, total-revenge movie by Sam Raimi. It bridged the gap between his work on Evil Dead and Spiderman. The game was created by Ocean for the NES in 1991. It sucks.

    There's a reason Durant returned in Dark Man 2. There was a Robocop cartoon in which Boddicker "returned". In the cartoon, he hadn't died, so supposedly most of what was in the movie hadn't happened in the cartoon. Yet in the episode it was said that he had returned. If none of the movie happened, what did Boddicker return from?
    Anyway, Dark Man 2 was spoofing that with Durant's return.

    This episode feels like a classic nerd episode. It's almost as if the "new" nerd was killed off in the Shrek episode and now we're back to classic episodes, complete with original theme song.

    Theory: Their is a multiverse of AVGNS out there. The one from the Shrek ep was our main universe’s AVGN and he has died. Now we are watching another AVGN from another universe. This AVGN kept the classic episode style for all these years. Also RUclips didn’t demonetize him for his language because RUclips never put those policies in place.
