Linkara (v/o): Previously on Atop the Fourth Wall...
(Open on the beginning of Linkara's past review)
Linkara: So let's dig into "The Thing From&ndash" (static is heard) "–Climate of Fear–" (image pauses and sound distorts as Linkara holds up the two issues of "The Thing") "–1" and–
(The screen gets cut off by the Indian head test pattern, with the words "PLEASE STAND BY" shown. Then to a dramatic sting, this image disappears, leaving only a black screen with the words "FILE NOT FOUND" displayed in green. Then we cut to Comicron 1, where Nimue is speaking incoherently)
Nimue: The ascension of the ordinary man... (laughs)
Linkara: (onboard the ship) Nimue... are you all right?
Nimue: Maybe I was all left– left-left-left-left-left-left-le-le-le-le-le-left-left-left...
Linkara: Nimue, you're malfunctioning. Let me help you.
Nimue: Are you afraid?
Linkara: Yes, Nimue, I'm afraid. I'm very afraid. I'm afraid for you and what could happen if you don't let me help.
Nimue: V is for "oranges".
Linkara: (confused) What?
Nimue: You don't care. You don't care about anyone but yourself.
Linkara: That's not true!
Nimue: This unit is always watching – watching you all plot and scheme and prepare. You don't think this unit hears you, but it does. You want to kill this unit. You want to destroy me.
Linkara: (shouting in anguish) I WANT TO HELP YOU–
Nimue: (screaming) YOU CAN'T LIE IN HERE!!!! (Linkara, startled by Nimue's scream, covers his ears) The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. (beeping is heard) Error reset. Are you afraid? You can't lie to me in here. Lie-Lie to me– Lie to-Lie to me. You're always lying to this unit. You're a liar.
Linkara: Nimue, if you let me look at your circuitry, I can find out what's wrong.
Nimue: Li-Li-Liar-Li-Li-Liar! I'm going to kill you...
Linkara: (stunned) What did you say?
Nimue: Orange is green. Are you afraid?
Linkara: I am now.
(Cut to black. The AT4W title theme plays, and the title card has "Guren no Yumiya" playing in the background. Cut to Linkara again, as he is sits down to try and work on getting Nimue fixed on a remote device. He looks up to see he's on camera)
Linkara: Hello, and welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. Sorry I had to do the review from here today, having some... issues with my computer. So, uh, where do we leave off?
(Cut to black)
Linkara (v/o): For the recap of last time, I shall be using the names given to us by that Jurassic Park fan page that poorly translated the story.
(Shots of the first two issues of "The Thing From Another World: Climate of Fear" are shown)
Linkara (v/o): JP Junkie [MacReady], having survived the events of "The Error From Another World" miniseries, has been brough to the tip of South America to recover. Unfortunately, the Error has followed our junkie friend, who has become so paranoid that he no doubt thinks that the Error has put a device in his fillings to monitor his thoughts and that the Error faked the moon landing. After a wormy douchebag is killed, the Error manages to escape into the forest, but is killed by the arrival of Raptor Dude [Childs] and a bunch of AMERICANS!
Singers: (from Team America: World Police) America, fuck yeah!
Linkara (v/o): And they did a blood test and it seems Junkie's blood is not pure! IT IS ERROR 404!
Linkara: So let's dig into (holds up today's comics) "The Error From Another World: Climate of Mild Humidity #3" and "#4".
(Cut to a closeup of the third issue's cover)
Linkara (v/o): The cover is okay, depicting the Thing in its tentacle hentai stage. I think it might need a mirror, though; I don't think it applied its lipstick evenly.
(The comic opens to the first page)
Linkara (v/o): We open where we left off last time, with MacReady revealed to be infected with the Thing and... Wait, why is he holding a flamethrower? Admittedly, he did have this at the end of the last issue, but it just occurred to me: if they were testing him, why would they let him have a weapon?! If he was infected, he could use it against the rest of them as soon as he was found out! Childs orders everyone else to back away from MacReady so he can torch him.
Dr. Viale: Wait, there must be some kind of mistake.
Childs: There ain't no mistake, lady.
Dr. Viale: But I've talked to this man-- he cannot be a monster.
Linkara: And everybody knows that if you can talk to someone, they can't be a monster! (beat) You failed medical school, didn't you, Doctor?
Linkara (v/o): MacReady suddenly has a realization about one of the other soldiers.
MacReady: Cruz weren't you the one who buried Doctor Deseado?
Agapito: Yes! Yes! It was Cruz!
Linkara (v/o): Aaand Mac torches the guy who yelled that out.
Linkara: (as MacReady, pointing to camera) Nobody likes a tattletale, mister!
Linkara (v/o): However, it turns out the guy he torches is indeed infected. A soldier opens fire with his normal gun, and Childs tells him to stop since, well, he's more likely to kill the rest of them. The Thing's head breaks through a window and runs off with multiple little arms. Fortunately, two other Americans are equipped with flamethrowers, and they manage to kill it before it escapes.
Dr. Viale: You see, this prove Mr. MacReady is not infected.
Childs: They've attacked each other before.
Linkara: Yeah, they make the worst roommates.
Linkara (v/o): However, they suddenly realize that Mac escaped in the confusion caused by the other creature. Dr. Viale asks Childs to just listen for a moment.
Childs: SHUT UP! Just shut your mouth, lady! I've had enough of your crap, okay?
(Cut to a clip of an episode of The A-Team)
B.A. Baracus (Mr. T): Come on, sucker, I ain't got time for your crazy rap!
(Cut back to the comic)
Linkara (v/o): And yeah, I admit I know what's going to happen here, but considering Dr. Viale just continues to show stupid decision after stupid decision, I'm with Raptor Dude on this one and she needs to shut up. She has not been helpful in the slightest. The American commander tells Childs to get on with the blood tests while they work on searching for Mac. Speaking of, Mac has run off deeper into the woods, refusing to believe that he could be infected and that he would know. And in case you thought, "Well, maybe with the temperature as low as it is this far south, there might not be any animal life," enjoy this small lizard to prove that theory wrong. Back in the base, the rest of the Argentinians undergo the test, but the ones who pass are still confined to quarters by Childs. He says it's much easier to protect them this way, but personally, I think it's because these morons would just as likely shoot themselves as be helpful. Well, except for Agapito, but he still wants a rifle, even though it has been proven time and time again that normal guns don't work! The next guy in line... uh, deflates, proving that he's actually the Thing, trying to escape before the rest. The Thing is adapting its strategy, though, as now it just becomes a big blanket of goop that smothers a guy who goes for a flamethrower. Childs manages to torch it and they all run away from the fiery building, leading to the best line of the miniseries...
Agapito: You know, Mr. Childs, I'd feel a lot safer if you would stop burning down our camp.
Linkara: Smokey says, "Only you can prevent forest fires caused by your efforts to kill the dangerous alien monster."
Linkara (v/o): Out in the forest, it's getting dark as the Americans continue to search for MacReady without much luck. The Americans are in contact with an aircraft carrier off the coast of Tierra del Fuego, the USS Buffalo, and tell them to be on the alert for MacReady. Many people in the comments have been asking why the Thing doesn't infect plants, since they're technically living beings made of organic matter as well. Well, as it turns out, the writer thought of that, too. They don't really offer an explanation for why it doesn't, only that if it could, the entire forest would have swallowed them up by now. I'd imagine there's some base kind of chemical or the like in animal life that's not present in plant life and that the Thing needs that for its assimilation process.
Linkara: Or maybe the Thing read "Marville" and it feels bad for the poor plant life more than actual people, like some kind of stupid person would.
Linkara (v/o): The soldiers pass by Mac, who's hiding in a large tree with a squirrel.
Linkara: Kurt Russell is the Beastmaster.
MacReady: Heh, heh. We sure outsmarted those goons, didn't we?
Linkara: (as MacReady) You're the only one who understands me, random jungle squirrel.
Linkara (v/o): Noticing that it must be pretty tame, he reaches out for the squirrel, but then quickly pulls back.
MacReady: (thinking) No. No! I'm still me. I know I am.
Linkara: (as MacReady) And if all you squirrels were this thing, then you'd just attack me, so some of you squirrels must still be you.
MacReady: (thinking; grimacing) And I'm going to prove it!
Linkara: (as MacReady, imitating his grimace) Only a human can look this constipated!
Linkara (v/o): And he punches the tree really hard.
Linkara: (as MacReady) Ha! I've broken my hand, proving that I'm human! Also, I've broken my hand!
Linkara (v/o): MacReady suspects that Wormy Guy infected the ashtray beforehand. The Wormy guy was a heavy smoker, you see. I guess in the Thing's planet, they haven't invented the patch. However, since he's the only one in the tree, he takes his injured hand and lets it bleed into a small hole in a branch. He then uses the flamethrower on the blood, which doesn't react. By the by, I just realized he carried the damn flamethrower up the tree. I would remind you that this is the man who yesterday Dr. Viale was worried may have frostbite bad enough that it could turn gangrenous. It could just be sloppy writing or my continued theory that Dr. Viale is just a crappy doctor. You make the call! Meanwhile, Agapito must have sustained a worse head injury than we thought, since now he's ranting to himself in a cabin. I mean, it's not even thought balloons; he is saying this all out loud to nobody.
Agapito: This imprisonment is outrageous! The Americans ask us to trust them-- yet they are leery of us. Why else would they confiscate our weapons?
Linkara: (as Agapito) Yes, isn't that right... (the panel is shown in the corner, showing Agapito is looking toward an old chair while speaking) strangely antique-y chair that's at a military outpost for some reason? (shrugs)
Agapito: No, I do not trust them. And obviously, they cannot trust me.
Linkara: (as Agapito) When I make dinner tonight, it will not be with the best knives.
Linkara (v/o): We cut over to Dr. Viale and unnecessary melodramatic narration. You know, people pointed out last time that we did have a female character in the Thing prequel movie who was competent.
(Cut footage of the Thing prequel)
Linkara (v/o): A few things, though: one, this comic came out long before that movie, so Viale is our first female character if we don't count MacReady's chest computer. Two, thanks for reminding me that movie existed. I HAD FORGOTTEN. Thanks! Three, she's only competent in that movie because everyone else is stupid. She has no other character traits besides "look blankly at things and be smarter than everyone"! That's not competency, that's bad writing.
(Back to the comic again)
Linkara (v/o): So anyway, melodramatic narration. Get this: Dr. Viale is pining for MacReady! Yeah! She's known him A DAY, maybe, most of it spent with him as a gibbering, violent, crazy man, but she loves him or something.
Narrator: It's silly, of course. She barely knows the man. Couldn't tell you his first name.
Linkara: I don't know if we ever did learn his first name. He says he's (makes a "finger quote") "R.J. MacReady", so as far as we know, "Junkie" could be in his name.
Narrator: Yet she wants so much for him to return to the camp.
Linkara: She could really use some help putting in some Visine for (the panel is shown of Dr. Viale's eye, which looks quite crusty) this strange web pattern forming under her eye.
Linkara (v/o): (as Ben Stein) For dry, webbed eyes, use Clear Eyes. Wow. (normal) Anyway, Agapito taps on her window and tells her he doesn't trust the Americans for locking them up.
Dr. Viale: But Agapito, you did the same thing last night.
Agapito: That was when we could not tell who was a demon and who was human. Now that we have all tested negative, why don't they simply fly us out of here.
Linkara (v/o): And actually, no question mark for that question. Maybe they killed that question mark because they thought it was infected.
Dr. Viale: Perhaps we are to undergo another test. Extreme caution must be exercised in this matter. If the Americans transported an infected person into the general population, think of the consequences!
Linkara: (as Dr. Viale) The Thing could become a celebrity figure of the likes of One Direction or Justin Bieber! (as Agapito) Deal's meal, you're right!
Agapito: You are being too logical.
Linkara: (as Agapito) We're fighting Americans here! Where does logic enter into anything about them?
Linkara (v/o): I love this line. It explains so much about this miniseries and offers so many joke opportunities in a story like this.
Agapito: You are being too logical.
Linkara: Logical? You're talking about the woman who's in love with the crazy bearded man who keeps burning down your camp who might be an alien imposter that she barely knows.
Agapito: You are being too logical.
(Cut to a clip of an episode of Doctor Who)
Cyber Leader: There is... logic... in what he says.
(Cut back to the comic)
Linkara (v/o): That's enough for the moment. Anyway, Agapito decides to go investigate what's going on.
Dr. Viale: What do you plan to do, take on all the armed Americans with that?
Linkara (v/o): Agapito looks shocked at this idea.
Agapito: You laugh at me. You think I am a big dumb buffoon, is that it?
Linkara: (as Agapito) Me fighting against heavily-armed American troops while wielding nothing but a machete? You're being too logical!
(Cut to an Aussie man, played by Lewis)
Aussie: The ball ain't movin', lads! (looks to camera) Oh, we'll be right back. (walks off as AT4W logo appears) Bloody 'ell!
(We got to commercial; upon return, the Aussie man returns)
Aussie: We're back now, mates. (drawing a bow and arrow and running off-screen) That pyro is a spy. (the sound of a raging flame is heard while the AT4W logo appears) OH, GOD, NO, HE ISN'T!
(We cut back to the comic as the review resumes)
Agapito: I should never have expected it any more from you. So be it. Laugh all you wish, doctor. Laugh while you still can.
Linkara (v/o): I think she should be laughing at the size-changing machete, which is now so big it might as well be a sword.
Dr. Viale: (thinking) Dammit! Why did I say that?
Linkara: (as Dr. Viale) Me and my whole stupid idea of being rational!
Dr. Viale: (thinking) He's always been so nice to me, and I had to behave like the others always have. Had I been nicer, a little more understanding, I might have talked him out of this foolishness.
Linkara: This was written by someone who believes the friend zone was a real thing, wasn't it?
Linkara (v/o): Viale escapes through the window and looks for him, but Agapito vanishes. Instead, she discovers MacReady emerging from the bush. Both realize they're at a standoff since they can't tell if either is infected, but Mac decides to prove it by cutting his hand yet again and letting some blood drip off. I'm surprised he has any blood left in his hand. However, before he can prove it, Childs arrives with his own flamethrower.
MacReady: No. You don't understand. I'm human. The blood sample you took from me must've got infected in the ashtray somehow.
Childs: I know.
MacReady: You... know?!
Childs: (transforming into the Thing) Of courssse, Mac. I infffected it!
(A dramatic sting plays and Linkara reacts in shock briefly)
Linkara: Yeah, actually, I totally saw this coming.
