== The Nostalgia Critic sold his soul to the Devil ==
...a.k.a. Teddy Ruxpin. Well, think about it. At the end of the Halloween '08 special, that demon bear ostensibly killed the Critic; how else would you come out of a conflict with [[Satan]] except by selling your soul? Further proof: [[Running Gag|the number of times]] he's [[Death Is Cheap|come back to life]]. Sure, [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] brought him back once, but the sheer number of times he's died and come back is [[Rule of Funny|absurd]]. It's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Chester A. Bum in his review of the fight. We really see the fruits of this little deal later on, in the Final Battle with [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]], when the Critic, well, shoots lightning and resembles the devil, with no real explanation. He then resembles a different devil and bellows [[Skyward Scream|DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]] at the end of his [[Good Burger]] review, with, again, no real explanation.
 
Stretching the WMG a little further, at the end of the Nostalgia Critic's [[Up to Eleven|Top 11]] [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] Villains, he puts {{spoiler|Chernobog}} at Number 1, likely at the request of Teddy Ruxpin. It seems Teddy objected to the review anyway, most likely disliking the Nostalgia Critic's apparent pleasure at {{spoiler|the heavenly light the devil}} is no match for; either that, or Teddy was objecting to the Critic {{spoiler|saying that if the devil had a form, that's what he would look like, because that cute little creepy plush teddy bear really is the Devil's true form}}, which is of course why {{spoiler|his computer was possessed}} at the end of the video.
Line 35:
** And even if he didn't sell his soul to Teddy Ruxpin, he's either sold it to Sage or at the very least, can be controlled by him. Nobody deserves that.
 
== The Nostalgia Critic is really [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Scout.]] ==
I'm not really sure what my reasoning is on this one, I was half-asleep and maybe a little drunk when I came up with this idea. They have similar hats and issues managing anger. I believe there was something about the respawn technology slowing the aging process and bringing the NC back on the multitude of times he's died. That's all I got.
 
== The Nostalgia Critic is [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]]. ==
Put glasses, the hat, and a goatee on Kyon, you've got the Nostalgia Critic.
* So who's Haruhi? [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]]?
 
== The Nostalgic Critic has a closet black guy fetish ==
Line 46:
 
== The Critic is a CIA experiment gone horribly wrong. ==
Years ago, in a secret lab, a group of scientists attempted to make a young man named Doug into a fighting machine for the CIA. They kidnapped him from high school and subjected him to all kinds of mental tests, which included analysing information like films and images. However, Doug was quite sarcastic and cynical. In his cell-hotel-room...thing where the CIA kept Doug, was a TV. Doug watched a lot of TV, including film channels. One day, Doug was injected with a hormone to make him fly into a rage at the slightest provocation. Anything illogical or remotely frustrating caused Doug to spin wildly out of control. He escaped the film room and back to his cell, where Batman and Robin was playing on the TV. Doug, still under the effects of the drug, bore witness to the 'Bat Credit Card' scene. And something in him snapped. He began foaming at the mouth and screaming 'YOU BASTARDS! YOU GAVE MY HERO A BAT! CREDIT! CARD! I'LL FUCKING SNAP YOUR NECKS!' He stole a guard's gun and began shooting randomly, killing multiple CIA agents. Doug became a fugitive, and ran all the way back to his parents' house, where the drug wore off. But Doug was a changed man. In the years the CIA had him in their custody, Doug had aged and become more intelligent. Deciding that Doug was no longer his identity, he vowed to review the crappy things he had seen on his CIA TV, and much more (including Batman and Robin, which gave him an 'episode' later on), adopting the name 'The Nostalgia Critic', and using his new, CIA-trained powers for entertainment, not evil. The CIA did discover him at one point, and they recruited [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] to assassinate the Critic, but the Critic survived, at which point the CIA just gave up and went on to very secretly sue Seth MacFarlane for [[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]! The Critic still suffers 'episodes' from his CIA treatment. These 'episodes' can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZXlVTtU0k here], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqLH9CY4dws here], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB58XowBGYc here], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx-97uRkzRg here], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-hGLWlj_ko here], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7HptBgSaCg here].
 
== The Nostalgia Critic will become [[Half Life|Gordon Freeman]] ==
Evident through the following: short hair, goatee and glasses for one. Also, {{spoiler|he destroyed a DVD copy of [[The Neverending Story (Filmfilm)|The Neverending Story]] III with a crowbar}}, and sometimes he tends to lose his voice. Perhaps at a future review, he'd be at a rage so bad that he would lose his voice for good. After that, instead of watching shitty movies, he will move on to Theoretical Physics, go to MIT, and wind up working at Black Mesa after graduating.
** [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] becomes [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Chell]]; [[G La DOS]] is Dr Tease (ELiSA).
 
== The Critic will succumb to Alzheimer's when he's older ==
Line 63:
It would make sense. He can be heavily depressed, reasonably sane and mature, an excited little boy or completely batshit angry-crazy all in one episode.
 
== The Critic used to have [[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|an Ultimatrix]]. ==
Doug was given one in an attempt to give Ben more help. Unfortunately, it was even less stable than Ben's, and glitched. Thus, he has his own human form, but carries mental traits from his [[Unstoppable Rage|Apoplexian]] form and explosive powers from a [[I Love Nuclear Power|Prypiatosian]].
 
Line 71:
== The Nostalgia Critic is [[Homestuck|Karkat Vantus]] in disguise as a human. ==
They both cuss like sailors, they're prone to frequent and infantile fits of rage, and neither Karkat nor the Nostalgia Critic like very many people that much. Let's face it, Nostalgia Critic basically has the spoken equivalent of Karkat's constant allcaps rage. But why has Karkat dropped internet trolling to review movies? Because he wants to show us all how awful the movies and shows from our human childhoods really were.
** I would say that Karkat is more like [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]], seeing as they're both prone to making overly complex, detailed, and profane poop jokes.
 
== Critic has bulimia ==
Line 83:
 
== Alternatively, he was raped. ==
* In [[Black Comedy Rape|"Spooning With Spoony 2"]], he said that "This is just like my prom night!" This could mean that he was [[Fridge Horror|date-raped]] by someone. Perhaps it was a girl he liked, and didn't want to admit it [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)|because people wouldn't think it was rape]].
** Pretty sure that was confirmed. And in ''[[Saved Byby the Bell]]'' he said he was stalked by a person he broke up with three times. [[The Woobie|Poor kid.]]
** He likes assertive women. [[Stockholm Syndrome|Figure that one out.]]
 
Line 95:
* Judging by what he's said in earlier reviews, they very likely got divorced.
 
== The Nostalgia Critic's parents [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|are the parents of the magic gun.]] ==
There's no indication that they haven't tried to find another way of harnessing their dark god. [[Complete Monster|Let's face it]], [[Abusive Parents|they'd be seen as monsters by the Critic.]]
 
Line 106:
== Daddy Critic had a [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]. ==
It would explain Critic's own childish temper tantrums, why he punished him so badly when he mouthed off once and why Critic clings to his mom (who in turn sounds like a [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?]] kind of abuser).
* Relatedly, his far more masculine (far less endearing) persona might have been less [[Early Installment Weirdness]] and more trying to emulate his father. It can't have been a coincidence that Critic as we know him now started to solidify at the "[[Sesame Street (TV)|first show he ever saw]]".
 
== Critic and Ask That Guy's parents wanted twins, but not two boys. ==
Line 118:
 
== That Guy With the Glasses, The Nostalgia Critic(s) and Chester A. Bum are all clones... ==
...of Douglas Walker. The status of their clone progenitor is unknown. But in the TGWTG 'verse, perfect human cloning exists (see Linkara's [[X -Men]] #424 review). This explains why NC, CAB and TGWTG can all be seen in the same conversation and why NC keeps coming back even after being killed several times. Or maybe [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] just likes dying for him :)
* "The Top 11 [[Mind Screw|Mindfucks]]" video briefly shows multiple Critics in one shot. All a part of the mindfuckery, or evidence that this WMG is true? YOU DECIDE!
** [[Fridge Brilliance|They are all real and show up when they can disguise it as a mind fuck. This way secret remains!]]
Line 138:
Specifically, of the original Doug Walker. In order to escape the abuse that life has given him, Mr Critic developed two different personalities. Ask that Guy essentially serves as an outlet for his more violent and disturbed actions, while the Nostalgia Critic provides an outlet for his cynicsm and [[Adult Child]] behaviour. The original personality became Chester A Bum, who, thanks to the other two personalities diverting all the pain and rage, became happy all the time.
 
However, several events would end up seperating the three. Ask that Guy became a more independent entity after selling his soul to the Devil, and gained the ability to gain a temporary physical form. This, combined with [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|punches in time and hypertime destabilisation]] ended up fully seperating the three personalities. Now that the bonds are broken, their personalities have become more unstable.
 
== Ask That Guy and Chester A Bum are future versions of the Critic, respectively. ==
Line 187:
 
== Douchey [[Mc Nitpick]] and John from The Room Movie Dot Com are related. ==
They both look similar and both scream [[Big No|'Noooooooo!']] in a whiny voice while flailing wildly. They both also seem obsessive in nature (Douchey picking out every little [[Fan Dumb|mistake]] with the Nostalgia Critic and John [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|defending]] Tommy Wiseau's image).
 
=== Melvin, Brother of the Joker ===
Line 199:
 
== Zack the Psycho Maniac is NOT Zack the Lego Maniac. ==
In "Revenge of the Commercials", the Nostalgia Critic believes that Zack the Lego Maniac grew up to be Zack the Psycho Maniac, a mad bomber who attacks him at the end of the episode. Despite this assumption, they are not the same person. Zack the Lego Maniac, as seen at the 7:08 mark, likely grew up to be a completely different psycho: {{spoiler|'''[[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|DOCTOR INSANO!]]'''}}
 
== Reviews ==
Line 207:
 
== The first two movies the Nostalgia Critic thought that Ma-Ti was talking about were... ==
* [[Plan 9 Fromfrom Outer Space]]. An infamously bad movie, one that no doubt many fans would clamor for him to review, as Ma-Ti suggested.
* [[Star Wars|The Phantom Menace]]. It's prime NC material, a big title, and was released 11 years before the 100th episode, even longer than Battlefield Earth. {{spoiler|You now feel old.}}
* Bio-Dome. He would later on go to review it, as he claimed it was by far one of the worst he has done.
Line 221:
 
== The Critic WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A CROSSOVER WITH NASH ==
In his commentary for the Simon Sez review, he said that he was planning on doing two more crossovers by the end of the year. He, then, made a gag about wanting to have a crossover with Nash in the Doug's First Movie review. This gag was [[Foreshadowing|foreshadowing]] for a future crossover review that he'll be having with Nash this year.
* Does [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/nash/wtfiwwy/33538-live-gooey-hot-pockets this] count?
 
Line 263:
== Some things are far worse for people because of the Critic's non-existence ==
This is going both off the above and the special:
* [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]] is admitted by darn near everywhere to be [[President Evil]] and nuked all of Canada. This also by extension kills Jesu Otaku's fellow [[Desu Des Brigade]] Member Arkada, not to mention billions of innocents. Plus who's to stay he won't, or hasn't already, bombed France and several other countries.
** Oh and his presidency? Caused by murdering President Insano.
** The "world peace in a week"? The world was so scared shitless at Angry Joe's firepower, they soon surrendered. They applauded because they were afraid [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]] would vaporize them.
** And the world piece was shattered as(noted towards the bottom) Phelous, along with several of the remaining reviewers, attacks America, plunging it into another war to free it from Joe's grasp.
* [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]] probably has a half dozen STD's from making porn instead of watching it and he will never be [[Happily Married]].
* Given the Chick's problems, while she remains a good director, her personal life will no doubt be in shambles in no time. And that whole section was big on the [[Stepford Smiler]] vibe.
* Linkara has turned into an Ebenezer Scrooge-type [[Jerkass]] due to his power and wealth.
Line 374:
 
== Scatman Crothers will become the new [[Mako]] ==
In ''Raiders of the Story Arc: Transformers'', NC mistaked Jazz's voice actor, the late Scatman Crothers, for [[Bill Cosby]] because of how he sounded. He then proceeded to dub Jazz's line with an impression of Cosby. Obviously, fans of Crothers won't take this joke lightly and give NC some harsh emails, like when he made fun of Mako's voice acting in [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Filmfilm)|TMNT]].
