Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
The Radical Lands aren't a divergent timestream - King Rad already explained the McNinjaverse as created by reality bleed-through between our boring world and the Radical one, and I really doubt Hastings is going to waste that wall-o-text by having him be wrong/lying.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
I also took it to mean that King Radical is the alternate Chuck Goodrich of the Radical Land. Chuck is, apparently, a universal constant amid multiple dimensions.
Still pretty mind-blowing.

Pretty sure they're just different dimensional versions of the same person. Not actually the same guy.

Especially since this Chuck is probably about to get stabbified, so he couldn't then go back in time again without causing some sort of incredibly weird paradox.
Unless the 'impalement' Chuck witnessed (of himself in the futurepast?) was faked for some reason.

No, no, Dr. McNinja was Dr. Luchadore.

Chuck Goodrich is the King the Radical Land deserves, but not the one it needs.
Yes, Chuck Goodrich is Batman.

To be Batman, he'd have to be the one they need but don't deserve.

I really like how we gave up on the spoilers because the conversation derailed so much that you couldn't actually decipher the plot twist from our ramblings.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Did anyone see this coming?

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Doubtful. There really wasn't any for shadowing of it, and frankly I don't think they look alike at all.
So the only hint was that Chuck is a constant time traveler in all universes/time streams, and King Radical used a time portal. Repeatedly.

Wasn't there that line about "It is always Chuck Goodrich?"

Goddamnit Hastings, you hid it right in front of our faces, and noone saw it coming.
Well played.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
When you think about it, the revelation makes perfect sense. The Radical Lands were dying. King Radical travelled through the portal in the hopes of finding some way of saving his world.
"There's always a Chuck, always a space portal, always a world in danger."

Chuck seems to be a king radical of the past. His is not the current king radical, nor do I see how being from the past will change things, or am I misreading it?

No, Charles "Chuck" Goodrich is "our" King Radical, The Most Radical Man in the Radical Lands.
Given the color of the spacesuit and the time period that the Stop-Zombies-and-now-King-Radical Chuck jumped to, however, he's probably the Chuck that the Stop-Zombies Chuck saw get stabbed by The Most Radical Chuck.

Spoiler: To clarify

The Radical Lands had a man named Chuck Goodrich, who showed King Radical I a time portal and was made Sir Sicknasty of Spades in reward. After the king's death he became King Radical II, the villain we all know and love.
He's an alternate-universe version of the McNinjaverse Chuck Goodrich, not the same person. It's just that every version of Chuck Goodrich is good with time portals.
