I’ve got a bit so say about the “Wonder Woman” movie but here’s the tl;dr version. It’s a C+ movie that is SUPER overrated…

Alright, let’s get to it…

Wonder Woman: Overrated Or Savagely Overrated?

America, we need to have a talk. We have a problem… That problem is “tipping the scale” to make two sides even. That’s part of how we got Trump. We need to stop it now! When it comes to movies “Marvel” and “DC Comics” aren’t even. “Marvel” is better in every conceivable way. Besides the “Thor” movies every “Marvel” movie is better than every “DC” movie. This includes “Wonder Woman”. Currently “Wonder Woman” has 93% on “Rotten Tomatoes”…. To say the least, it is not an A- movie. If “Wonder Woman” is an A- movie then you’d need two newer higher letter grades for “Marvel” movies.

There are reviews that compare it to “The Dark Knight”. This is a level of insanity that is ludicrous. “Wonder Woman” has the same major problems of “DC’s” last few movies. These are:

  • Most of it is boring
  • It’s colorless and gray besides the early first section
  • The end fight kinda sucks

‘Wonder Woman” is one of those movies where everything that was good about it was in the trailers. The action is sparse. There is some action but these parts are minutes. By the time you think “that was cool” it’s over. Then you’re back to waiting for the movie to get to the point. When it finally does it get kinda interesting. Then you get to the final fight that isn’t impressive. Sorry, the bar got raised passed this. That’s enough for today I’ll talk some more about it throughout the week.

Oh Yeah Today’s Comic 

So I took a little risk with the crazy font used to Special-Girl’s drunk talk. It’s one of the the many fonts I found while looking for new ones for this comic. It can be hard to read, but to me it captures what a drunk person talking would “look” like. Tomorrow Badassia gets swapped out for Spiderous-Man and more drunken ranting ensues. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wonder Woman : Can The Movie Live Up To The Hype?

So Wonder Woman is coming out on Friday. I’ll more than likely see it this weekend. So far the reviews are VERY good. As I write this is has a 97% on “Rotten Tomatoes”. My prediction is it will be pretty good, but not as good as people are saying. It seems like the other “DCEU” movies have made expectation so low it’s getting overrated. I hope I’m wrong though.

On to the comic. So I made “Admiral Lightning” from the same island as “Freedom Female”. “Admiral Lightning” is my version of “Sailor Jupiter”. This explains why she’s so tall and strong. Also when I thought about Freedom Female’s origin I wanted the idea that other girls got to leave the island. The fact she wasn’t allowed to is part of why she does leave. There is a reason why she wasn’t, but I’m saying that for when I tell her origin.

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

ccc-208-j-popspiderousmanandtheminstreltemplate-01ccc-208-j-popspiderousmanandtheminstreltemplate2-01

So yesterday I talked about having to do a lot of editing for the comic. This one was a LOT more. In fact as I write this I’m not even done yet.

“Wristcutters: A Love Story” is real a movie about a chick who commits suicide. She then ends up in a place that’s a little worse than here. I don’t remember much else about it. In real life I did get this movie while “picking the corspe” of a “Blockbuster” video that was closing. An old co-worker, Reagan Myers coined the term… Well as far as I know he did…

Tomorrow we switch gears as Admiral Lightning, Freedom Female, and Badassia are here. They talk about Freedom Female’s home the Isle Of Manless Maidens and Amish people. Also “Freedom Female: The Original World Protector” is comes out this weekend so that comes up.

ccc-207-j-popspiderousmanandtheminstreltemplate-01ccc-207-j-popspiderousmanandtheminstreltemplate2-01

This is yet another comic where I had to do a lot of editing. The first thing Spiderous-Man says is completely different from what I first wrote. In the middle of doing the word balloons for this comic I realized I needed to change what he said. J-Pop mentions “Talentless Americans Trying Get A Crappy Vegas Show”. If the title didn’t make it clear this is this world’s version of “America’s Got Talent”. I remembered that this show plays a part in the origin I wrote for “Spiderous-Man”. This is yet another story I want to tell at some point. With that established it would seem weird if he didn’t say something about that.

You also might’ve noticed that the some new fonts used for this comic. Over the last couple weeks I’ve searched through hundreds of fonts and downloaded a bunch. These should be “cleaner” and easier to read than the fonts I was using before. Hope you like em’?

Tomorrow these 3 return and it gets kinda dark, but sorta positive in the end… I dunno… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 206  –The Celestial Admirals On Mostly Infighting

One thing I try to be is fair. Well fair is fair. “The Flash’s” finale wasn’t half bad. I doesn’t at all make up for this season, but it wasn’t bad.

“The Flash”, Last To The “Finish Line”… A Decent Finale For The Worst “CW” “DC Comics” Show

flash

The way they get around “Iris” getting killed was clever. It also they solved another problem by getting rid of a character that kinda sucked. “Caitlyn” doesn’t seem to be all villain which is good. In general, the show seemed to finally get what it was doing wrong and it seems its headed in a better direction.

To be clear though EVERYTHING about “Savitar” is still stupid. This show STILL needs to stop with having speedsters as the “big bad”. “Kid Flash” still sucks. There still needs to be less nonsense science. With that siad, this show might pull it together next season.

Finally Meeting All The Celestial Admirals… They’re Like “Sailor Moon” & Her Friends If Ethnic & Bitchy

I have so many ideas for these characters. With this comic I wanted to give a taste of all the them and the dynamics between them. This comic was a lot easier to put together than I thought it was going to be. I had to cut stuff, but they were “easier cuts”.

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

ccc-205-jpopadmiralstaradmiralaandsadisticsquirreltemplate-01ccc-205-jpopadmiralstaradmiralaandsadisticsquirreltemplate2-01

I had to cut a lot of of this one. Every character had more to say. J-Pop’s verse was longer. Admrial A said something about how there was almost a nationwide boycott on her. This was over a subtle weed reference in one of her songs. To me the stuff I changed with Sadistic Squirrel’s dialog was for the better. Him cheering for J-Pop to choke wasn’t in there when I first wrote it.

Half-watched Half Review Of The Season 2

Finale Of Supergirl

So I half watched the finale to “Supergirl” while I worked on this, this morning. The finale seemed okay. A little anti-climatic, but not bad. I can’t see “The Flash” pulling off anything that going to make it worth the season we’ve been through with this show. Everything about “Savitar” alone makes it impossible. Guess we’ll see though…

Tomorrow finally meet all the other Celestial Admirals. There are:

  • Admiral Bubbles
  • Admiral Fire
  • & Admiral Lightning Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

It should a warm and friendly reunion between friends…

“The Flash” Beats “Supergirl” In The Race For Crappiness

ccc-204-specialgirladmiralstaandadmiralatemplate-01ccc-204-specialgirladmiralstaandadmiralatemplate2-01

I’m going to call the winner. During this season of “DC Comics” “CW” shows there’s been a clear race to the bottom between “Supergirl” and “The Flash”… Guess you should never bet against “The Flash” in a race. As I write this I haven’t seen the finale to “Supergirl” yet. It hasn’t even aired yet actually. Unless something in that finale is the one stupidiest things I’ve ever seen “The Flash” is worse.

“XXX” 3 It Gets Stupider Still

Speaking of the stupidest things I ever seen I half-watched the last “XXX” movie this weekend. Good lord! Everything said or done in that movie is stupid. To be clear, I’m not “avant garde” movie snob. I watch more action movies and comic book movies than anything else. This movie makes “The Expendables” look like “Citzen Kane” or something. Please America, stop liking and supporting garbage!

Okay I’m stepping down from the high horse. Tomorrow J-Pop finally meets her idol Admiral A as Admiral Star & Sadistic Squirrel watch. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Conversations 203  – Admiral Star & Admiral A On Admrial A’s Awesome Arrival

ccc-203-admiralstarandadmiralatemplate-01ccc-203-admiralstarandadmirala(darkspotlight)template2-01

With much fanfare this comic introduces Admiral A. This is another comic where I had a ton of material. So as I write this I know I’m going to have to cut some stuff.

Forget All That! Is “Sailor Moon” Good?

I started going down this road yesterday… When “Sailor Moon” first came out in English I hate-watched it for a while. Now I’m rewatching it again to write about these ”Admiral” characters. So far I’ve watched the original English dub of the first season. I also watched a newer better dub of Season 1. On paper “Sailor Moon” isn’t a good show. It’s repetitive and filled with dues ex machinas that solve everything. Characters gets powers and abilities whenever they need it. On top of that you have the constant re-used animation and villains with unclear goals.

sailormoon

Yet there’s something addictive about it. It somehow is more than the sum of it’s parts. My best guess is they always seem to throw some mystery at you. That seems to keep things interesting enough to keep going. There’s a goldmine of stuff to make fun of.

Time to do some mining…

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” Tuesday-Thursdays. Also I should mention I’m putting a hold on “The History Of Comics With Q-boy”. It will return though. I’ll get back to it once I’m done designing all these “Admiral” characters. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

J-Pop & Admiral Star On Being Like Admiral A

ccc-202-j-popandadmiralstartemplate-01ccc-202-j-popandadmiralstartemplate2-01

How did I get on this whole “Sailor Moon” thing to begin with? Well, I was trying to think of something to do for the 200th of these conversations. For a while I kept seeing “Sailor Moon” pop on “IG”, “Facebook”, and “Twitter”. More often than not it was a Black “Sailor Moon”. That’s when I thought to myself “yeah she’s important enough of a character that the comic needs a version of her”.

“Sailor Moon” might be the very first thing you think of when you think of the word “anime”. The iconic “sailor outfit” beats even images from “Dragonball”, “Akira”, or “Ghost In A Shell”. Is it good though? Do I like it? These are questions I still can’t give a definitive answer to.

 sailormoon

I’ll get more into that later though. Today’s comic pokes some fun at “Sailor Moon says”. They were segments that were at the end of most episodes of the original English dub. That dub being a whole conversation in itself. Tomorrow, we finally meet Admiral A. She and Admiral Star share the stages and well… You’ll see… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, Admiral Star, & Badassia On Apologies & Atrocities

ccc-201-specailgirladmiralstarbadassiatemplate-01ccc-201-specailgirladmiralstarbadassiatemplate2-01

Here I introduce my “Gamora” character. She’s another of The Renegades Of Reality are my “Guardians Of The Galaxy” characters. These characters are a little different than the other. They are in most ways parodies of the “Guardians Of The Galaxy” team. Some of them though, are mixes of several characters. “Badassia” is a mixture of :

  • “Gamora”, (of course)
  • “Aeryn Sun” from “Farscape”
  • “Sarah Conner” from “Terminator
  • “Leela” from “Futurama
  • & “Samus” from “Metroid”

    I noticed all these characters were the same type. Also with “Space King” I combined:

  • “Star Lord” (again of course)
  • “John Criton” from “Farscape”
  • & “Phillip J. Fry” from “Futurama”

 

These characters were also the same type. The “normal” guy thrust into crazy space adventure. There’s also several “unspoken things” between these two character types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

unspoken

The other big thing in this comic is the “twist” to “Sailor Moon” for “Admiral Star” and her team. I debated hinting at it yet, but I figured a character like “Badassia” would have to say something about it. Besides I have more up my sleeve…

Tomorrow Admiral Star and J-Pop have another conversation. Things go a little different this time. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
