Apparently not, since I figured it out too

In all honesty, I view this and 3 the way I view some albums:

4 is consistent, and has generally-good segments throughout
3 is more uneven, but the good parts are exceptionally good

While watching 4, I didn't laugh so hard that I cried, which I did multiple times with 3. However, the lull in 4 isn't nearly as bad as the lull in 3 was, and I was laughing more steadily while watching 4. I also wonder how many other people actually recognized "Living In A Box" when it came on. I always figured that song sat on the more obscure side of 80s mainstream pop.

I seriously do think the end sequence evokes the right 'epic'-nostalgia feeling to finish out the whole series ('epic' in quotes because generally I don't think MCR is really all that epic or deserving of the title, but the end sequence works for what it's given).

I preferred 3 over 4 for some reason. I'll probably watch 4 a second time to take it all in like I did with 3.

Too bad it's the last one... I just discovered AMVs a few weeks ago and it's a shame to see such a good (in my eyes) series suddenly "die". Guess somebody else will take up the cup and continue Hell in another direction, albeit under another name. We might even see 2 hour length AMVs, who knows, but just because one series dies doesn't mean they all die.

Guess they got the part right where "If we keep going, it will suck", but 4 was an excellent ending to an excellent series.

That's exactly how I feel about it as well. Nothing in 4 had me laughing as hard as, say, the scary Eva 01 head with auctioneer voice segment in 3 from Sight & Sound Productions, but 4 had me chuckling with more regularity.

And hey -- NO MORE PERSONAL ICONS IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF EVERY SEGMENT! That really bothered me in 3, especially since certain contributors had huge and kind of distracting icons (and one icon was even animated). I'm all for giving credit where credit is due, but that's what a credits sequence is for. You don't see a translucent "SPIELBERG" or "DREAMWORKS" in the lower right corner of the screen while you're watching a Steven Spielberg film. And yes, I know that TV networks have their logos in the lower right corner of your screen all the time, but AMV Hell 3 was billed as a motion picture. Because of the lack of distracting icons in 4, I submit that 4 has a better flow to it. It feels like a steady stream of funny rather than different segments of funny cobbled together... if that makes any sense.

Overall, I like AMV Hell 4 a little better than 3. The opening and closing sequences in 4 are my favorite parts of the video. They wrap up the series nicely, and I agree with comments about the epic quality of the closing sequence. Major kudos to everybody involved with the production of AMV Hell 4. The end result is really something special.

I think Kevmasterflashdeluxe deserves a kudos for taking the virginity of the "topic of the year"

Anyway, as for the AMV... well, it's all said in the OP. Just... 5'ed. And it deserves it.
