Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #156 – Special-Girl, Q-boy,

Apex, & Death Poll On Trump

ccc-156-specialgirlqboyapexdeathpolltemplate-01

There’s this weird thing going on where people keep saying “Trump’s the president now we have to give him a chance”. Um… No, we’re Americans we don’t do that. Like I put into the comic we tear mercilessly at our leaders and that’s the good ones we actually like. The same people saying this never gave Obama a chance, and that’s not even getting into the fact Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million, is quite possibly being controlled by Putin, and appointed almost comically terrible people to his cabinet. This guy even lies about stuff that there is photo evidence of like the number of people at his inauguration. They’ll have to come up with some really big “alternative facts” to down play all the people protesting against him.

As for Steve Harvey… That was disappointing… I think he thought he was doing a good thing meeting with Trump. “Having a seat at the table” as he put it, but that table is only for billionaires.

Tomorrow we swap out Apex & Death Poll for Luscious Trapp & Quickie as the conversation goes all over the place then circles back to Trump. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

& Luscious Trapp On Randomness Then More Obama

As I write this the comic isn’t done yet. It’s another one where I originally wrote too much material and now I have to edit and squeeze what I can in.  When you see this it will be the last day of Obama’s presidency. There’s so much to say, and yet there’s nothing to say.

There won’t be an increase in the minimum wage. We can only hope there is one at all.

Deregulation will increase the severity of climate change and cause more disasters like the one in Flint.

Maybe they’re not crazy enough to snatch healthcare from millions… Maybe

And this is the small stuff. Not the “Russia might now control America”, insane conflicts of interest, loss of Civil Rights stuff.  Yesterday I wrote that 2 things going through my head were “the cycle” and “learning the wrong lesson”. A 3rd thing is “we deserve a better ending” and that’s what I attempt to do more and more from these comics.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Drizzle, & Luscious Trapp On …Eventually They Get To Obama

ccc-112-msmajorsdrizzleandlouscioustrappc

Two things keep ringing in my head. “The cycle” and “learning the wrong lesson”.  As much as I hope we’ll break this cycle of voting in one party for 8 years then voting in the other I really don’t see us breaking it. I’m still seeing too many people blaming the wrong people. The lesson to learn is VOTE. The one glimmer of light in this election is that it proved there’s a lot more of us than them. If this is even kind of a democracy (and it’s quite possible it soon might not be) if we come out we win.  We can argue about the specifics later.

I’ll go ahead and say it. Obama is easily the best president of my lifetime, and Bill Clinton was a damn good president. Clinton was president in a time of relative peace and when the economy was almost certainly going to be good due to the internet boom though.  Obama inherited 2 wars and a near Great Depression. Another thing I’ll miss about Obama is not being embarrassed by the president. That really sucked under Bush and with Trump it’s already so much worse.

Tomorrow we swap out Ms. Majors for Succubus as they talk more “Scandal” and Obama. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

This is it. Like for real no joke. Obama is gone after Thursday and Trump is the Goddamn president. There isn’t going to be any last minute save. The “rebels won’t come through with the plans”. This is it. Seriously, what’s the best case scenario? Our country just being an embarrassment until Trump’s impeached?

It still doesn’t feel real. There’d be a sadness to this week even if Hillary had won, but this is something else. The thing is though, through it all Obama himself still seems to have faith in us. He has no reason to. We failed him at pretty much every mid-term election, and we failed to hold on to his legacy. But still he has faith in us, he still has hope. The whole hope thing isn’t BS with him. That might be the thing I like best about him. That he was almost always steady and calm. Nothing was ever unfixable, a defeat was always temporary, a challenge was never impossible.

Okay more about Obama later this week on to this actual comic. So I originally thought “Scandal” started this week, but it’s actually next week. It’s a damn good show. Parts of the last few seasons have gotten ridiculous but other parts always keep it interesting enough that it’s worth watching. If you never watched it I highly recommend it.

Tomorrow these 3 return to talk about “Scandal” and maybe Obama a bit. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Do you remember the first time you saw “Goku” turn “Super Saiyan” the first time. Most of us Americans knew it was going to happen and even what it looked like, but we didn’t know how it happened until we saw it.  It took extreme gravity training, nearly dying, fighting against a (at the time) basically unbeatable opponent, and the stress of seeing his best friend killed.  For ‘Vegeta” to do it he had to push himself to near madness. Basically it took extreme training and extreme stress.

Jump ahead and Goku reveals he could become “Super Saiyan 3” except he really can’t handle it. I think it’s suggested that the planet can’t even handle it which is something I think everyone seems to forget. Then younger characters (and one’s that are barely “Saiyan”) could just do it (except “Pan” of course because… reasons).

Jump to “Dragon Ball Super” where Goku becomes “Super Saiyan God”.  Which is just given to him… It’s kinda un-“Dragonball” to do that. Later “Vegeta” “does it on his own”, but that doesn’t make any sense. And they both become “Super Saiyan Blue”. I know there’s a “Super Saiyan Rose” as well but I don’t know if either of them achieved it yet. My point to all this is that these new transformations seem too easy and too fast. Again I like “Dragon Ball Super” but at this rate they’re going to run out of color pretty fast.

In case you’re lost or didn’t read yesterday’s comic this is a telepathic conversation that was going on during the conversation from yesterday’s comic between Mr. Mystic and Headmaster Fresh and unexpectedly Slowku gets involved. That just made you more confused didn’t it?

Speaking of Slowku let’s get back to “Dragon Ball Super”. One thing I kinda like about it is that it has shorter arcs. I don’t break down “Dragon Ball Z” into mini-arcs like most people. To me “DBZ” is The “Saiyan” or “Vegeta”  Saga, the “Freeza” Saga, the “Cell” saga, and the “Buu” saga. This plus some filler covers nearly 300 episodes. At around 60 episodes “Dragonball Super” has had the same number of sagas plus filler. Another good thing is at least in the “Ressurection Of F” arc characters that aren’t “Goku” or “Vegeta” got to do something.

Then there’s the problems… Like “Pilaf”…. He’s never been funny or a good character. He’s a relic of time when “Dragon Ball” wasn’t popular. And yet he keeps returning… Over and over again to waste time that could go to fighting or something interesting.  Along with him is “Shu” and “Mai”.  “Mai” is a whole thing by herself because of all this weird stuff with her and “Trunks”.  To be clear this is woman that is older and his mother in a child’s body.  Then time travel gets involved and it gets weird for the opposite reason.  All this should really just stop.

Tomorrow a decision is made about Mr. Mystic’s position in The Revenge Squad. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Last week I said something about “DC Comics” having better comics right now than “Marvel”… After catching on some comics this weekend I have to amend that. I’m not saying “DC” isn’t winning necessarily but it’s WAY closer than I thought.  I caught up on “Infamous Iron Man” (where “Dr. Doom” takes “Iron Man’s” place and tries to be good) and that’s a damn good comic. Is worth going through “Secret Wars” and “Civil War II” to get here? Probably not, but still…

Also “Dragon Ball Super” premiered last Saturday here in the US. I’d been following it through fan-subtitled versions. I’m not an anime purist. I prefer dubs over subs mainly because I more “listen” than watch anything.  “Dragon Ball” is one of the few things I’ll watch subbed when the dub isn’t available.  In fact this whole thing brings me back to when I would watch “Dragonball Z” on the “International Channel”. No “subtitles”, faded colors, but completely unedited and it was a few episodes ahead of the American version.

Back to “Super”, I think I was up to like the 56th episode or something. Honestly it’s… Okay. It’s WAY better than “Dragon Ball GT” though. The whole things is kinda similar to what is going on with “Star Wars”. Sure there’s part of me that just wants more, but there’s the part of me that says “let it go”.  It’s a weird pre-sequel that pretty much contradicts the actual ending of “Dragon Ball Z”. Then there’s the fact that nearly 30 episodes are just the last 2 “Dragon Ball” movies (“Battle Of The Gods” & “Ressurection Of F”) with lots of filler. The first episode in particular is nothing but pointless filler… But it’s “Dragon Ball”. They can endlessly repackage, and remix it and I’ll probably be there.

Tomorrow we see a secret conversation that happened during this conversation.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

This one actually tied into the Holiday Special comic from Monday.  Yep it’s in continunity…

Anyways “Civil War II” finally ended last week and… Wow…. What a waste of time and good art… The worst thing about “Marvel’s” crossovers is that they never really end they just shift into whatever the “new status quo” is.  This “new status quo” is especially bad. “The Hulk” is dead, “She Hulk” is more like “The Hulk” which is stupid and defeats the purpose of her character. “Iron Man” is off the table, and that scene was just painfully forced. “Cap” is STILL a “Hydra” agent (I thought they ended that after like 2 issues). Oh and the “Inhuman” kid who could predict the future is now some cosmic entitiy or something because “Inhumans” are IMPORTANT and always involved in everything. We get it “Marvel”. We get it!

“Marvel” may DESTROY “DC” when comes to movies and beat them by a lot at TV with the “Netflix” shows, but I gotta say I think “DC” might be winning with actual comics. To be clear this is pretty much only because one of the “Justice League” books is okay and “All Star Batman” is great.

That’s it’s for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I don’t play video games much anymore. The last game I played and beat was “GTA 5” (the only “GTA” I ever beat). It’s been even longer since I played an RPG. I played “Skyrim” for a few weeks and lost interest. I think I gotta go WAY back to “Fable III” was the next one.  Before that this game “Radiata Stories” (which I forgot the name of for a long ass time til’ I looked it up today. God that was bugging me!) where I screwed up something I couldn’t fix so I just quit playing.

The last “Final Fantasy” I played was “Final Fantasy X”. Never beat that one cause I couldn’t ever do the thing where you gotta dodge lighting 8 million times to get “Tidus’” ultimate weapon. It had some cool characters but the story was kinda “meh” anyways. I actually bought “Final Fantasy XI” but I couldn’t get the online thing for “Playstation 2” to work.

Due to a buncha crap with having an old TV and finally getting a new one for Christmas I think I’m finally getting the “PS4” shoulda got last year. In the process of looking up that “Radiata Stories” game I saw that other rpg I really liked “Suikoden” had 3 sequels I never knew about. I’m considering downloading those games if possible. Course at this point playing them would require getting rid of sleep entirely as a concept… Still tempted though.

Tomorrow the guys are joined by Ms. Majors as they finally move on from talking about video games. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
