Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, Linkara looks at a comic where Ronald Reagan gets superpowers!
atopthefourthwa...
Originally released March 20th, 2017.
ORIGINAL INFO: I think more people would be voting if politicians had actual superpowers.
Whenever I check the times on the videos and see there's a huge chunk left after the credits, one can visibly see the change from Quietly Enjoying The Review to LOOOOORE Mode
How can a comic about Ronald Reagan fighting terrorists with a machine gun be so boring?
Also fun fact about Genghis Khan: While people only remember the whole "raiding and pillaging and raping" thing, he was also a great statesman who built an actual empire that survived his death and he even had the idea of religious freedom at a time at which wars were constantly being waged between two religions worshipping the same god.
OH SHIT! VYCE HAS HIS OLD ARMOR BACK! I missed that old suit. Such a cool yet simple design. If you ask me Lewis Vyce was definitely one of the best suit designs next to the King of Worms.
So out of all the presidents to make comics about, Teddy wasn't one of them?
What's the point? Not like you can make it any cooler.
He did appear in a couple of Scrooge McDuck comics
najhoant what two of the most badass old people Finally meet that sounds awesome
He made some appearances in Don Rosa's "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". He was particularly badass in "The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut"
....huh, well, there we go I guess
Regardless of how many broken promises from that top 15 list occur, I still feel well-assured that, no matter how many episode milestones, no matter how generous a Patreon donator, Sonichu will still never be one of them~
DarkfireTaimatsu Congratulations you have just been introduced to Murphy's Law
If that leads to more Milo Murphy episodes by extention, I'm all for it~
I'm happy to see that the comment section is mostly pleasant.

IKR? Fortunately, most of Linkara's fans are sane.
There's also the fact that Linkara's never really been know to make political jokes or even references. You mention Hillary, Obama, or Trump in anything and people will go ballistic if they feel you fall on a certain side but the only time I can even remember Linkara referencing the election in an AT4W episode was when he was making a joke that we're so obsessed with the past and nostalgia that we might be having another Clinton in office.
I don't really blame anyone for avoiding political jokes anyway. I can't remember which episode of Nostalgia Critic it was but Doug made 1 Trump joke during it and the comments were full of nothing but people angry about the joke or people mocking those who didn't like the joke.
I love how Liknsano and Vyce look at each other for a moment and then Linksano is like "Nope, I'm out"
Monroe Arnold?! The actor?! Then who's the co-writer, Jerry Lewis?!
Daniel F. I understood that reference
Presenting the Reagan Raiders and the LAAYYYDY!!!!
*slow claps* Nice. *approving nod*
I suppose Jane Wyman is the artist!
Daniel F. Dude you took the words right out of my mouth
. . . . I have to admit that just by seeing the few Barack the Barbarian images in the intro that. . .it just seems like a MAGICAL trainwreck that I have to read one day.
16:26 If I understand this comic's logic and sense of humor correctly (it seems to portray President Reagan as both an idiot and the smartest idiot in a White House full of idiots), Reagan wasn't promoting that person to a General to get him out of the way, but to praise and reward him for faithfully and patriotically carrying out Reagan's orders even when they seem absurd.
good to see Linksano doing his stuff and having a good comedy moment "fuck this shit I'm out"
I totally expected him to turn around and throw some SCIENCE at Vyce.
Any airborne vehicle that the President is on is called Air Force One. If the President leaves the Air Force One plane and gets on a helicopter, blimp, or any other kind of airborne vehicle, that vehicle changes its name to Air Force One
I believe 'Air Force One' is only the call sign of any US Air Force plane that carries the president - when he's aboard a Navy plane it's called 'Navy One', 'Marine One' is the call sign of any Marine Corps helicopter that carries him and when he travels aboard a civilian plane it's designated 'Executive One'.
Not quite right. If the aircraft is supplied by another branch of the military, it could be Army One, Navy One, or even Coast Guard One. The official executive helicopter is designated Marine One, although if it were an Air Force helicopter, Air Force One would be the proper designation.
If the aircraft were owned by a civilian agency and the president is on board, the official designation is Executive One.
That sucks. Every vehicle should get named after the agency supplying it, rather than the generic "Executive One". If we sent the President into space, the shuttle would be called NASA One. A boat called "Fish and Wildlife One". The list goes on, but the point is it could get quite hilarious. "The President disembarked Parks and Recreation One..."
What if the President goes hang-gliding?
Holy shit... is parasailing considered air travel or water travel?
Hmm... Lewis you need to move Pony Linkara to a lower shelf his head is cut off and that thing is too awesome not to be shown in all it's glory.
Also thanks for the entertaining review !
Unfortunately, its height kind of limits where I can put it unless it's squished down. ^^;
when did you get that?
Lewis, how did Brad get you to sit through a MMPR-spoof porno?
I remember how "thrilled" that you seemed to be, when you reviewed the Mightily Murdered Power Rangers comic book.
P.S. Please ask him to show Lloyd more often.
The internet loves cats.
How did I miss that! That's amazing. XD
"Why couldn't you call them men?"
It's standard derogatory banter to refer to men, especially in the army, as 'ladies'-to emasculate them and therefore make them angry and more likely to be aggressive and fight better. Is it sexist? Yes, but it's a thing.
This is yet another “15 screw ups of stop the fourth wall”. Or at the very least, a missed opportunity to revisit so you can reference “woke culture”. Through a modern ear, it sounded like the general was referring to being PC and having to use inclusive, gender-neutral language.
11:29 - "Hey, Hitler's first name is spelled with a P-H on the end, right? Not an F?"
_"I dunno, Gary. You might want to take two minutes with an encyclopedia to double-check..."_
"Nah, no time for that! I'm definitely right! Gotta finish up this comic ASAP so I can start work on those Super-Saucy Pre-Aged Pseudo-Foxes or whatever we were talking about!"
_"That's not even close, Gary. And you're the one who came up with that stupid title in the first place."_
a 'political comic'?
*Battens down hatches and prepares for the worst*
Orby No, it's a political comic about Reagan, so it will be okay... Relatively speaking for politics.
Oh geez, we're back to Soulson.
Get the artillery.
And it wasn't much political anyway. Mostly just people fighting.
I can't wait for the Fist of The North Star review next week.
You could swap out Reagan and his candidate with a generic President and get the same results.
"Purple mountained majesties!! Her amber waves of grain" is this comic implying that if america was a person it would purple breast and pee grain?
Apologies if you already knew this - it's a reference to the patriotic song "America the Beautiful".
_O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain_
_For purple mountain's majesties, above the fruited plain_
That said, we do have a mountain in Wyoming called "Grand Teton", which literally means "the big tit". French explorers came up with the name, but we chose to keep it. Make of that what you will.
actually I didn't know that since I'm from the UK and I thought it was just some random speech thing with weird choice of words
That was wonderful imagery, however. A big breasted America (Threateningly, big tits! =D) peeing beer. That is a mental image.
@@ZoanBlade90 What do you think the statue of Liberty did off screen in Ghostbusters....she had been holding it in for decades
You would think they would drop the nuke IN FRONT of the Hollywood Sign, since that's where all the city stuff is.
This is played way too straight. If most satire is a bag of bricks being tossed at the reader like The Ultimate Warrior tossing them at the Jumbotron, then this is...a pillow. You could replace Reagan with Duke and have a subpar episode of GI Joe.
28: 37 90's kids response actually sent a chill down my spine.
I love how Linkara forgot that he went evil as well. I'm kinda surprised that no one is starting to think he's going crazy.
Combine Harvester hasn't started playing yet, he'll be fine, honest!
Don't you mean, "Me Grimlock think this way of talking is beryllium baloney!"?
Beryllium baloney!!
MadDemon64 Wait, shouldn't Grimlock argue FOR cesium salami and slug for beryllium baloney?
Oh slag you're right!
Friends find look behind
You go wrong way, you fool I say. (I must be the only guy who actually likes Wheelie)
Between the ROMtropective, Blue Skying, THIS, and the Dark Knight Returns, it's amazing as to how many times former President Ronald Reagan has appeared on Atop the Fourth Wall.
Wow. Just wow. I am speechless. Great job Linkara! Didn't expect that! All the longtime fans know why Linksano backed down!
I can't wait to see more of this storyline
5:43-5:52 I like how the song he uses is "you're the one that I want" and stops after danny says "i got chills". SMOOTH linkara......smooth. like sandpaper
Daaang, the storyline plot thickens! Still waiting to see what exactly is playing the chess game with Linkara (and waiting to see if my theory about the creature in the void from "The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II #1-3" is correct).
Can I suggest a theory that the situation with 90's Kid is misunderstood, he didn't actually betray the group he just wanted to wait till the right time before bringing them in and when they started distrusting him he decided it was best to leave them out while he and Vyce deal with the possible return of the Entity on there own because the idea of Vyce becoming the new Entity doesn't make sense unless that means he going to become possesed by it and he knows it's happening.
Well I have got another theory idea the first line talks about 'A piece of the world is still missing' what if that isn't talking about just linkara's world, what if it is talking about involves the entire multiverse as the Entity has destroyed countless universe what if the piece missing is all the worlds the entity destroyed or at least it's point of origin aka Vyce's home dimention.
So for the chess pieces, I'm guessing Nimue, Pollo, and Eliza are the Pawns, Linksano is the Rook and Harvey is the Knight.
I just thought of something, what if the reason they couldn't find Vyce by scanning for the shade's materials is because he's possessing someone.
The Entity possessed 90's Kid (hell maybe VYCE is possessing 90's Kid!) and Vyce's data form is apparently similar to The Entity
Maybe Vyce is possessing someone, dropped the shade in the ocean or something, and rebuilt his armor because he's all egotistical and crap. It would also make sense in regards to the fact that him walking around in his armor would turn a lot of heads and keep in mind this is the era of smartphones, people would post "weirdo in green suit and kid at hardware store" on pretty much every social media site imaginable and Linkara probably would've noticed!
Linkara in many ways has always had a sort of Chessmaster or god complex
feeling like he is the only one that can save the universe (not helped
by the fact that has been the very case in many instances) that's
probably why a lot of his multiverse counterparts end up ether being
straight up evil, or at least manipulative.
Be careful Link. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. People are not pawns.
12:00 You're certainly doing your job today, Mr. Sun. *The villain's glasses focus the sunlight onto his collar, setting it ablaze* Oh rats.
Why couldn't Linkara and his mysterious chess player play checkers instead? That'd be waaay more straight forward.
I know where its hiding inside of Linkara, those who defeat it get the misfortune of playing host to it while it recovers as it drives them insane. Turning hero to villain most likely what it did to lord vice
I used to follow you back when Blip was still a thing, and I'm so glad I've found you again... but what a time to show up again.
I don't really understand chess myself, can anyone interprete anything from the various moves that we've seen being made in the chess game? Surely the pieces represent characters, and whatever move something linkara has done to the opponent, or the opponent has done to him
Fist of the North Star you say? I am now already expecting a parody featuring a muscular linkara proclaiming "You're Already Dead" to a marvel character he doesn't like. Master-the-Creator, get on that.
15:26 ok, I think we all know who the lizard man really looks like. They say Cap's a soldier from another time but clearly that time is the future!
90s kid couldn't handle the idea of MMPR being remade.
Pretty great review.It restored my faith in you after a few bad episodes in December/January after the election.Hope you keep it up.
Still eagerly awaiting the reveal that Vice is his universe's Linkara.
Finally! I've been wondering who Brodski is for years! Maybe this was answered before though as I haven't seen every episode.
Hey, quick...unrelated question...
when did nick spencer's current run on Steve Rogers: Captain Neo-nazi start? It's comin' up on a year now, right?
Fist of the North Star next week? Only one way to express my happiness: WATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!!!!!!
Matheus Moreira Omae wa mou shindeiru
I kinda found it hillarious how Vyce just popped up behind Linkara. Did that guy tunnel in or something? Maybe he is actually a goafer when you take the helmet off.
Lord Gopher
Got to say nice seeing Vyce with his orginal look.
I'm surprised Margaret didn't have anything to say about Linkara's outburst there. That certainly wasn't friendly.
Ironically, he did review the comic “Codename: Ninja” in 2021.
I'm surprised he talked about the movie America without pointing out that it was written and directed by Robert Downey Sr., Iron Man's father.
you have to go ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA next episode
Prewatch post, going out on a limb and saying this was great. This will come back to haunt me I am sure. Keep up the great work!
Oh my god, this might just be my new favorite episode.
The chess game is still going strong huh. How has nobody actually questioned who he is playing with at this point?
Almost convinced he's playing against "himself"-- the Entity is in his head and taking control to move the other pieces when he's not paying attention.
Could we get more of the storyline soo.... Oh. Okay. Yay!
Hi Linkara,Awesome Review and feels like it's been a while since I was here,keep up the good work Linkara,Colton
To be fair, PResident Evil sounds like an amazing title for anything.
You just wasted your money with the shot of Marville...hahahahaaaa ..omg that was fucking funny,,,,
Donald Trump comics are probably in the making.
Eric Stevenson
Haha, too easy!
Eric Stevenson Marvel already did that with Red Skull.
Donald Trump comedy anime. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s horrifying for many, MANY reasons
would you believe I say a coloring book called "Trumpman?" like Donald trump as superman
Banter Board x-
8:24 I looked up Zack Norman by the way, and Diary of a Terrorist. I only get results on a 2016 version.
9:12 "We are sending in our special agent Rad Raygun to handle Moscow."
Trump's comics are gonna be a literal dumpster fire.
MagnuMagnus Oddly enough, from what I could find...they don't take a side. It feels like a satire comic...much like this!
MagnuMagnus Also, hello, Lynx. =D
@@jekblom123 They're so cheap they don't produce heat, just smoke.
"~I'm the government! I'm the government! I'm the reason nothing works!~"
I knew that clip was going to be played. XD
15:10 - "Here's an idea Ollie. Let's sell these weapons to the Iranians and fund the Contras that way. And while you guys are at it, send over some more rocket launchers to Mister Bin Laden in Afghanistan. I'm sure nothing can go wrong..."
I do like that every comic artist generally agreed that if President Obama ripped his shirt off, he'd be sporting gloriously chiseled abs.
Favorite episode of the year so far!
Codename ninja totally feels like the kind of comic early Linkara would’ve covered
The almost-traced-from-photographs look is usually a complaint I have with movie comics (they fall into the uncanny valley). Here's an original work that looks just as bad! Hurray! Also, regarding the end-credits bit (you've probably heard this by now but I'll say it anyway), I've heard that "Air Force One" is officially the title of whatever aircraft the president is on. The actual plane has a proper name independent of that.
I am legitimately thinking about that opening question. on the one hand, ninja and a possible return of the ninja style dancer. on the other, this Tom foolery.
Some Jerk with a Camera cameo = immediate pressing of like button. Thank you.
Somebody better take notice
that Linkara is playing chess by himself and the pieces... are moving on their own. And most frightening of all? Linkara is NOT REACTING TO IT. AT ALL. 90s kid teaming up with Vyce? Linkara seemingly not caring about a paranormal experience in his house, even though the ghosts are gone and he's acting more hostile? Everyone watch your back.
...Wait, Fist of the North Star? I have to say...I AM SHOCK..no wait, that's the parody from Gintama.
I said Where at the same time as Linkara... then screamed the Intruder's name when he appeared.
I'm glad you were fair in this review, especially given that it's a political comic, that's not easy. I've gained a newfound respect for you.
Only one thing to say...
YOU WA SHOCK!
Awesome, Regan pun on the tear down this 4th wall!
:[
To answer a question in your end credits, air force 1 isn't a plane, its the air transport that the president is one. If air force one was abandoned, and a new plane is issued, that plane is then air force one. this would be the same for a helicopter. Somehow, that makes the most sense in this comic, and i'm British!
Chris O'Master GAMING - While this is true, Marine One is basically that same concept but with helicopters. Air Force one is always a plane.
Well, this comic was... blander than I expected. O.o
Missed opportunity!
Ronald Reagan superpower counter! (Superstrength, Reduced-yet-not-quite-reduced aging and the Ability to make things explode with his mind!)
Damn, storyline hits hard.
20:57-21:0 HA American Dad! reference. XD
God, Minuteman from Freedom Force is looking at those costumes like, "you look absolutely ridiculous"
Oh hey, new Atop 4th Wall. Great way to close the day before sleep needed.
I wonder how soon will Linkara take notice about the divided We fall kind of line from the future letter ?. Harvey's very on the nose with why 90's kid would side with Lord Vyx . The security breaches have probably cause him to reconsider who 90'skid can side with .This arc reminds me that 90's kid is more of a teenager than a kid with how moody and insecure he is .
Lastly, Boraxo is really good to have .
There was an arc about Linkara becoming evil and the dangers of it. Why does he act like a major jerk to everyone all of a sudden? Harvey was the only one actually offering help to 90s kid, the "main character/good guy" just went full warmonrel on the kid.
I can't tell you why, but there's a reason why Linkara is acting like an asshole.
Air Force One is just the codename for the air vehicle carrying the president. Literally any air-based transport carrying the president is referred to as Air Force One. The president's plane tends to be called AF1 just as a convenience, but the codename is not tied to any one vehicle.
Linkara has Reagan's Raiders #2, too.
Poor Linkara doesn't even realize he is already dead next week...
holy shit! he's still doing the background story!
I can hear gas, but only when it has sound waves in it.
“Just seems like a weird spot for Ground Zero.”
Linkages apparently doesn’t understand the power of psychological warfare by destroying one of the most iconic landmarks of all time.
Linksano remains basically my favourite character after Snowflame XD
I heard that manga that makes Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi into a manly badass mahjong player is actually pretty awesome
So, Lord Kitty Ears- I mean Vyce has returned and now has 90s Kid on his side.
Either 90s Kid is going to be playing both sides, brainwashed or legit traitor, or there's something screwy going on involving the chess board. That's all I'm able to guess about right now.
I'm surprised Linkara didn't mention the fact that the 80s movie one of the writers was in also happened to be directed by Robert Downey aka Iron Man's dad
So vyce has finally made a move and 90's kid's betrayal revealed the wheels are turning soon the endgame shall be played
mate might become a patron just to get u to review the amalgam comics
You'd think they'd be more cowboys than superheroes.
28:30 holy fuck, this is the last place id expect to hear a castlevania background music theme
Maioly Yeah, from Lament of Innocence, right? It was used at the end of the King of Worms storyline too.
Too bad he didn't know about Hostess Fruit Pies! The terrorists would immediately give up!
Reagan has a comic book LOL! Awesome Review Linkara.
