The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

ccc-91-theminstrelqboyslowku

In most American comics if a superhero saves a city they become so famous they have to have a secret identity so everyone they love isn’t targeted by villains (of course their identity is always found out and all their loved ones are targeted anyways).

“Goku” saved the world if not the universe quite a few times and only a handful of people know who he is or what he did. Pretty much every time something happens or the situation makes it so people can’t see him do it.

It would be interesting to see a “what if” where people knew “Goku” saved the world. I’d imagine he’d be very uncomfortable. I’ve gotten into this before but “Goku” spends A LOT of time alone or with few people. His house is basically a shack in the woods. Also any perks of fame would be lost on “Goku”. The guy basically wears one outfit, and seems pretty happy to eat whatever he can hunt and kill. Some of these things change a bit in “Dragonball Super” but that’s clearly “Chi Chi’s” doing not his.  In real life “Goku” has a holiday and is the one of the most famous heroes in all entertainment across the globe and he’d probably hate that…

That’s it for this week. Next week we start off with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where we meet “The Outlaw”. Then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On School

Don’t really have anything to say about this comic so I’m going to go off topic and talk about the animated movie “Batman: The Killing Joke”. I finally got around to watching this and wow does “Batgirl” get done dirty. So if you don’t know the in the comic this movie is based on “The Joker” shoots and permanently paralyzes “Batgirl” (until the “New 52”) as part of his plot to drive “Commisioner Gordon” insane like himself. It’s a great comic but kinda problematic because “Batgirl” is basically just used at a plot device and there some real dark stuff suggested that happens to her as well.

It seem likes the movie tries to make this better (and to fill up time since the comic isn’t enough material for a whole movie) by adding a “Batgirl” adventure to the beginning.  This makes things a lot worse.  First of all it just doesn’t fit with the rest of the movie. It’s very badly done and it’s jarring when the story just switches.  Also the story doesn’t make “Batgirl” look very good. It makes her seem pretty amatuerish and “Batman” REALLY talk down to her. Then she kinda throws a tantrum and tries to fight him… Then she gets all hot and bothered and bangs “Batman”. I knew going in that this happens and it’s so much worse than I thought.  It’s really gross.

The part that just adapts “The Killing Joke” is pretty good, but again wow was the “Batgirl” stuff unnecessary.  They should have really made it clearly two separate stories. One about “Batgirl’s” last mission before she retires (where she’s competent and doesn’t bang “Batman”) and then “The Killing Joke” story. That’s just my 2 cents though. What are yours?

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Man, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Cracking Up (Censored)

Family is a weird thing with “Goku”. The only family he every really has as a kid is “Grandpa Gohan” (who he unknowingly kills when he turns into a giant ape during a full moon). The only blood relative he ever encounters kidnaps his son and “Goku” has to help “Piccolo” kill him. His race the “Saiyans” seem to have no concept of family. Children seem to be bred (strangely enough like how “Krytonians” are in “Man Of Steel”) and then they are sent to wipe out all life on planets as infants.

You can make a big stretch and say his teacher’s over time are like father figures, but they aren’t really. Pretty sad when the closest thing you have to a Dad is a perverted old hermit who lives alone on a tiny island.

Or the cat guy who lives alone on a top of a giant tower. Or the guy who lives even higher in the sky on a lookout above Earth. Or the guy who lives alone on a tiny planet in the afterlife. See the pattern… Isolation. “Goku” lives a pretty isolated life with extended periods where he is completely alone.

I’ve mentioned before how “Goku” takes pretty much any opportunity to abandon his family, and how messed up it was putting the pressure to beat “Cell” on “Gohan”, but he makes up for it by sacrificing himself right? Well here’s the thing… “Goku” could have easily escaped. “Goku” teleports “Cell” to “King Kai’s” planet and has over 30 seconds to teleport back to Earth (I believe this time was shortened in “Dragonball Z Kai” though). That may not sould like a lot of time. But in that time he talks to “King Kai” and just stands there for kind of a while. Check it out in this clip…

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

Special-Man, Q-boy, & Slowku On Q-boy & Slowku’s Friendship (Censored)

ccc-66-specialmanqboyslowku

“Goku” is a pretty jovial guy. If you bully or hurt people “Goku” gets kinda mad in a “stop or I’ll have to hurt you” way. He’ll still be very quick to show you mercy. Beat up his wife and kidnap his kid he gets madder. As you can see in this clip from the first “Dragonball Z” movie “Dead Zone”

Just for fun here’s a funnier version

Kill his friends, family, the entire population of Earth her gets even madder. There are only 2 times when “Goku” is filled with murderous rage in all of “Dragonball” and both are when “Krillin” gets killed (the 2nd time being the thing that pushes “Goku” to become “Super Saiyan” for the first time). This is interesting because when they first meet “Krillin” is pretty much a dick to “Goku”.

Oh and the schizophrenic girl mentioned is refering to “Launch” who becomes homicidal whenever she sneezes as you can see in this clip…

Tomorrow these guys getting a little deeper into to what’s going on with Slowku. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Yep after a whole week with these guys last week I’m sticking with em’.  So I’ve hinted about this in previous Q-boy is basically “Krillin” from “Dragonball” or at least he’s plays that role.  The thing that Slowku is talking about is a more messed up version of a similar things that happens in “Dragonball”.  You can check out a video of it here http://qr.net/bRse2

Next time these guys talk some more about Q-boy and Slowku’s friendship. Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #66

Special-Man, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku VS Special-Man

ccc-66-specialmanqboyslowku

“Goku” VS “Superman”.  The debate over who would win has raged endlessly.  Truthfully I don’t think the question is really answerable.  When you say “Superman” there’s a least 4 different versions to consider

  • “Pre-Crisis” – Given more and more powers over time to compete with rival characters like “Captain Marvel/Shazam”. Able to do stuff like juggle planets. Basically unbeatable
  • “Post-Crisis”/ “Pre-Flashpoint” – The “Superman” most of us would know best from comics as this version of Superman  from 1986 to “DC Comic’s” “Flashpoint” event.  Strangely enough, since “DC Comic’s” “Rebirth” event this is now the current version of “Superman”.  Comics gotta love em’.
  • “New 52” – Version of “Superman” from “Flashpont” to “Rebirth”.  So the “newest” version of “Superman”, but around for the shortest amount of time.  Supposedly dead for now.
  • “TV/Movie Versions” – Tends to be much weaker than other versions.  Generally, requires effort to lift things like planes or space shuttles.

Then with “Goku” there’s issues of what is considered cannon and what isn’t.  Generally, “Dragonball GT” is considered not be cannon because “Dragonball’s ” creator Akira Toriyama had little to do with it.  The most recent series “Dragonball Super” is generally cannon though.

The website “ScrewAttack” did an episode of it’s “Death Battle” series where “Goku” and “Superman” fought which really re-ignited this debate.  Personally, I think “Goku” very under served in the video. You can see the video here http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/episode/goku-vs-superman-death-battle

This guy “Kakarot88” did an incredibly long and detailed post on how this battle was flawed.  Unfortunately, I don’t think the entire post exists anymore and I can only find a (relatively) small portion which you can check out here http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/post/51220549 . From what I remember his conclusion was that cannon “Goku” (this was before the recent “Dragonball” movies or “Super”) could not defeat “Superman, but non-cannon “Goku” (as used in the “Death Battle” video) who can become “Super Sayian 4” and use the “Dragon Fist” attack (an attack only used in movies and “GT”) could defeat “Superman”.  To me in the post it was being extremely conservative with “Goku’s” abilities, and as accurate as possible while giving “Superman” every advantage from sources that may or may not be cannon for him.

Also while writing this I discovered “Screw Attack” did a sequel to this battle (which you can check out here http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-2-25 ). So I’m going to watch that and continue this…

*elevator music*

Even worse than the first one.

It doesn’t matter that “Superman” wins it’s that “Goku” is underpowered.  Examples are given of “Superman” lifting “infinite weight”, but it’s not mentioned that “Goku’s” punches with the God “Beerus” are felt across the universe (and into other planes of existence).  And this is before “Goku” becomes “Super Saiyan Blue”.

Anyways that’s it for this week.  Next week starts off with a new “History Of Comics With Q-boy” where a man known as “The Illustionist” is enlisted to help after trouble comes to Q-boy Comics.  Then there will be new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Man, Q-boy, & Slowku On Kanye West’s “Famous” Video Again (Censored)

ccc-65-specialmanqboyslowkuc

One thing I just didn’t have space to fit into this comic was the Slowku saying his motto was “eat, train, sleep, repeat”.  If anything describes “Goku” that would be it.  What he certainly wouldn’t be is someone who kept current with pop culture.  It was fun to play with that in these comics.  It would be like getting an Amish person’s reaction to the “Famous” video.  The questions would probably be less about the video and more about the people.  “Who is this person, and why are they famous”?

Tomorrow Special-Man, Q-boy, and Slowku actually do move on to talking about something else.  They address a debate that has gone has gone on for years. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
