Getting “Meta” With “Batman”

One thing I get to in this comic is the idea that “Batman” is a “metahuman”. “Metahuman” for those of you not up on “DCComics” lingo is “people with powers”. It has something to do with “Hawkman” metal or something, but it doesn’t matter. What is with “DC” and undermining the entire point of their characters? If “Batman” has powers he’s not “Batman”. If he kinda sorta has powers then there’s no point in saying he does. If “Batman” murders people like in “BVS” he’s not “Batman”. While we’re at it:

  • If “Superman” is a guy who constantly scowls he’s not “Superman”
  • If “Barry Allen” is some young isolated weirdo he’s not “Barry Allen”
  • If “Aquaman”… Actually who cares. Though “hook hand” “Aquaman” kicked ass

At least they’re not doing what “Marvel” is doing with “Secret Empire”. How long is that going to take to end? That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wonder Woman : Now They’re Just Getting Greedy

I’ve harped on “Wonder Woman” a lot, but the level to which it is overrated keeps ramping up. It has now gone from “ridiculous” to “fanatical”. It’s so bad that I thought maybe I was too harsh on it so I got a cammed version so I could watch it again… Nope it’s a C+ movie. At best. I wouldn’t give ya shit if you gave it a B, but it’s a C movie. I still need to re-watch “Man Of Steel” to see if it’s even the best “DCEU” movie. I went into pretty good detail about the flaws so I won’t bore you with that again. I’m not saying it’s completely without merit or it’s terrible. It has “heart”. Which is pretty much the film equivalent of “she’s got a nice personality”.

I bring all this up because supposedly now there’s a campaign for “Wonder Woman” to get an “Oscar”.

pac

foh

This is just greedy. You skated by on a mediocre movie. Don’t be like Trump. Take your “technical” win with some humility. Learn from the mistakes and come back with a movie that actually deserves the praise. Knowing how things work if it does get nominated it will probably get an “Oscar” for something. If this happens they should give it to the people who made “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2”. A movie that is better written, has more and better action, is funnier, and actually has more “heart” in it’s own way. So far it is BY FAR the best superhero movie this year.

Oh and as far as the comic, just in case it wasn’t clear Salty Sandy is basically “Petter Potts”. Tomorrow Admiral A, Admiral Star, The Good Knight, and Slowku discuss a contest and an induction. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Ya know what I really liked? I like when “The Punisher” was off by himself in an R-rated comic that was part of “Marvel’s” “Max line” of comics. “The Punisher” could be in violent messed-up stories and wouldn’t be involved in some terrible crossover. Sadly, those days are gone… They went and brought him back in the normal “Marvel Universe”. Now with this “Secret Invasion” crossover they got going on he’s part of “Hydra”. Ugh!

There’s a rationale for it, and I guess it kinda makes sense but still… Ugh! He shouldn’t be in this the first place. He should be murdering mobsters by the truckload. That would be bad enough, but lately “Marvel” and “DCComics” have been playing “bad idea chicken”. As far as comics “Marvel’s” been winning this race to the bottom for a while now. “Marvel” is going to up the ante by making “The Punisher” the new “War Machine”. Yep kill off one of the few Black characters that’s isn’t just a poor man’s version of a White hero and replace him with a White guy who shouldn’t even be involved in the first place. What even needs to be said at this point?

Tomorrow these guys return and Spiderous-Man elaborates on what he wants The Innovator to do. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

One thing I didn’t mention that came out during “San Diego Comic” was the teaser for “Krypton”. Why is this happening? There’s something fundamental that people just aren’t getting. Story start at a certain point because that’s the part where it gets interesting. I got into this before with “Star Wars”. Does anyone really care what happened on “Krypton”? If they do, do they care enough to watch a whole series about it. Prequels are almost universally a bad idea. I can’t think of one good one.

Flashback stories can work if they help to inform what’s going on currently. Straight up prequels though? Nah! Plus it’s on “Syfy” channel and I can’t even remember the last time a good show was on there.

Tomorrow Admiral Star talks to Hazard Hands, Luscious Trapp, and Blind Fury about “defense”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

“San Diego Comic-Con” A View Of The Future One Phone Cam Video At A Time

comiccon

So “San Diego Comic-Con” was this weekend meaning EVERY movie trailer, teaser, and announcement was released. Some highlights:

  • “Avengers: Infinity War” – Only saw phone cam footage on IG, but I did see the whole thing… Good lord does this look awesome. I concerned about how all these characters are going to fit into one movie though
  • New “Justice League” trailer – Looking more and more like it’ll be okay… The whole pretending “Superman” isn’t in it thing is getting really old. Also I must repeat yet again “The Flash” looks stupid. Whedon you still got time make that his “joke costume” and cgi a real suit on him. Oh and if that isn’t “Superman” that “Alfred” is talking to at the end it’s something stupid
  • “Flash Point” is the title of “The Flash” movie- Sigh! Seriously “DC” move on from this already? This story had been:
    • A bad comic
    • An okay animated DVD
    • A show ruiner for “The Flash” TV show
    • Stop already!
  • New “The Gifted” trailer- Wasn’t impressed before, but now I see this might end up being a good show.
  • New “Thor: Ragnarok” trailer – Looking better and better. I think we finally got ourselves a good “Thor” movie. Has “Marvel” fixed it’s one weakness in movies? We’ll see…
  • Michelle Pfieffer as “OG Wasp”/ Laurence Fishbourne as “Golaith” in “Antman And The Wasp” – Seems cool. Nice that “Batman” and “Catwoman” are part of “Marvel now

That covers all the big stuff for me. Tomorrow Spiderous-Man and Freedom Female are joined by Special-Man and The Good Knight. They talk about Admiral Star joining The American World Protectors Of America and til’ Freedom Female gets deep… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Admiral Star has made quite a few enemies since she first appeared in the 200th comic. Those enemies seem to be coming together and wanting some payback. They include:

  • Special-Girl – They immediately got off on the wrong foot when Special-Girl tried to boss hog her as Trump’s Czar of Superpowered Bitches. This is settled when Special-Girl realized she was an associate (she’s actually her leader) of the at the time more famous Admiral A. Since “Admiral A” became a judge on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” (more on this later) they issues again. This time of who Slowku was living with. They eventually settled on “splitting custody”.
  • J-Pop – They also immediately got off on the wrong foot when J-Pop treated her poorly and talked down on her when she wanted to meet Admiral A. When J-Pop did meet Admiral A she rapped a sexual and politically charged verse for Admiral A. Admiral Star berated her for it and this became a viral sensation that landed her the job as judge on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show”.
  • Admiral Fire – These two have always had a contentious relationship as Fire constantly questions her leadership. This intensified when Fire asked Star to help her get on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” to help fulfill her dreams of being a singer. Star used this as an opportunity to embarrass Fire by faking that she got on the show only to use her audition as a joke
  • Spiderous-Man – A minor issue was her and Slowku eating most of the ice cream at an ice cream party thrown by Freedom Female. Spiderous-Man then was going to have a segment on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” but Admiral Star put a stop to it because she thought it would be corny. She then this week pull a prank by having The Innovator say he wanted Spiderous-Man to join the Revenge Squad
  • (Perfect) Spiderous-Man – “Regular” Spiderous-Man is his man. He rides with him
  • Others? – We’ll see…

Conversations 229 – (Perfect) Spiderous-Man, Freedom Female, The Innovator,

& Spiderous-Man On Initiation

ccc-228-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarinnovatortemplate-01ccc-228-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarinnovatortemplate2-01

I have a terrible secret I must confess. I was out of work for a while and I picked up a terrible habit… I watch “TMZ Live”. I don’t watch regular “TMZ” cuz’ I can’t stomach it. The announcer guy and his corny jokes alone makes it unwatchable. If you’ve never seen “TMZ” it’s a celebrity gossip show. They sent their vulture-like camera people to bother celebrities and they “report” on things. By “report” I means “Google” things and make wild guess about what going on. Then idiots call in and repeat whatever they said and desperately try to get attention. The main guy Harvey Levin is a wishy-washy halfway Trump supporter. He constantly tries to pretend he’s not VERY rich from “TMZ”. I guess so all the barely paid staff there don’t start asking for money. He also mentions about 800 times an episode that he used to be a lawyer. I guess this is him reflecting on a time when he had dignity.

I could go on and on, but I’m getting away from the point. On Thursdays “TMZ Live” does something special. They have this guy Tim do a segment called “Tim’s Rejects”. You know how you can go ANYWHERE on the internet and find really cool and interesting videos? Well Tim has the special talent of somehow missing all the good stuff and finding 3 crappy videos. He also sets them up very poorly. Usually he asks “have you ever [insert whatever’s in the video]”. The segment usually ends with Harvey berating the guy for how crappy the videos are. All of this is to say that this comic say Spiderous-Man is pretty much that guy, Tim.

Tomorrow The Innovator is switched out for Admiral Fire as these guys talk about payback. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Somehow I forgot to mention on of the biggest problems with “Spider-Man: Homecoming”. Spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet

[Spolier]

Near the end “Iron Man” says he’s going to let “Spider-Man” join “The Avengers”. “Spider-Man” then declines because he’s not ready. Then he asks if this is a test. Soon it’s revealed it wasn’t a test and “Iron Man” was actually going to put him on the team. There was a press conference set up and everything. To me this was a big mistake. “Spider-Man” hadn’t earned it. He broke the rules, hacked his suit, and he’s a kid. This also undercuts the maturity he shows be declining. In fact, “Spider-Man” should have had to make his own suit. One not nearly as good as the “Iron Man” one, but better than his original costume.

[/Spoiler]

Tomorrow all these guys return to talk about Spiderous-Man “initiation right”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-227-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarfiddyfotemplate-01ccc-227-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarfiddyfotemplate2-01

As I mentioned before, “Perfect” Spiderous-Man is my version of “Miles Morales/Ultimate Spider-Man”. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do with him. Suddenly it hit me. He should be the nice kid who gets famous and goes completely off the rails. He should look like a mumble rapper, hang out with thugs, and always be on a combination of several drugs. He should be the guy who seems like he’s determined to die broke. Since I established a while ago that this character owned the “Spiderous-Man name” this makes sense cause a lot of the time this is what happens to kids who get sudden fame and money. Spiderous-Man is a loser who can’t win despite his best efforts. “Perfect” Spiderous-Man is a winner who can’t lose despite his best efforts… Until he does…

What’s Wrong With “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

  • The Vulture – Though Michael Keaton plays him well his whole deal doesn’t make any sense. With the tech him and his people are able to create there’s much easier (legal or illegal) ways to make money
  • Hacking – Pretty much all shows with tech people are guilty of this type of stuff, but still we’re supposed to believe some high school kid can hack into a suit created by one of the smartest people in the world. Get the hell outta here!
  • Zendaya’s Character- She’s annoying and then they reveal something about her that makes it SO much worse. It’s like “Robin” in “The Dark Knight Rises”. That still annoys the hell outta me
  • “Flash Tompson” – I give em’ credit for trying something different than the stereotypical “jock bully”, but this didn’t quite work.
  • Needs more “Iron Man” – Not really the movie’s fault, but yeah just give us “Iron Man 4”.

Again decent flick, but not particularly great. Tomorrow we swap out Admiral Star for Fiddy Fo’ as these guys discuss “handling a problem”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
