“Sailor Moon” : The Trial Of “Tuxedo Mask”

When I first saw “Sailor Moon” many years ago I assumed “Sailor Moon” was somewhere around 16 years old. “Darian/ Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” is definitely an adult. If his age is outright stated I never caught it. To be conservative let’s say he’s 20. This is kinda “iffy”, but okay I guess. The “DiC” dubbed didn’t hammer home that she was actually 14 and in middle school. In more accurate “Viz” dub every episode in season 1 begins with her stating she is 14. This turns “iffy” into pretty wrong.

So you’d think they wouldn’t bring the age thing as all on the show, right? Nope! They go right at it. Right in the first episode where they’re actually dating. (This is also where “Rini/Chibiusa” appears… Ugh!). Then it seems like “Darian/Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” comes to his senses and breaks it off. In the end it’s due to his future self “testing” them or something. It doesn’t make any sense though.

“Darian/Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” is a pretty creepy guy. By day he somehow runs into the same 14 year old girl all the time. (Cough! Stalker! Cough!). When he does he acts like an absolute dick to her for no reason. Then by night he rescues her and is nice to her. That is until he discovers in a past life she was suppose to be his child bride or something. Then after “sorta dating” this same girl’s friend who’s also 14 he decides it okay to date her. All the negative stuff he always said to her goes away… Also they somehow take over the world in the future…

I use to love ComicBookResources.com. Then one day it became cbr.com. Now most of the site is a hodgepodge of clickbait garbage. To be fair, they still SOME good articles though. I say all this because I had said my piece on the “Wonder Woman” movie. It was okay at best, but VERY overrated. Now there’s an article on cbr.com about how it’s the best superhero movie ever… I not even going to bother to link to it…

“Wonder Woman”: Lassoed Back In

In fact, you know what? I’m not even going go over it again. I’m going to add this though. There’s this general assumption that “Wonder Woman” is the best “DCEU” movie. Which is saying nothing by the way. It MIGHT be. Looking back though, “Man Of Steel” has more and better action. It was more grim and out-of-character, but was it worse? I don’t know. I’d have to watch both again and I don’t want to though…

Saying “Wonder Woman” is the best superhero movie is like saying “George H.W. Bush” is the best president. Sure he was better than “Dubya” or Trump, but that doesn’t make him the best. It doesn’t even make him good. Again people, stop the madness! It’s a C+ movie.

Tomorrow Freedom Female returns with Admiral Star. We are also introduced to the “Tuxedo Mask” character Pickup Artist Pimp. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Brief Thoughts On The “Black Panther” Trailer

The “Black Panther” teaser trailer came out over this weekend. I didn’t see enough to make any real judgment about the movie yet. I’m little concerned about the obvious CGI of “Black Panther” in some parts. C’mon guys this ain’t “Spider-Man” 1. Got a feeling this is the movie where “Marvel” might slip up. I hope not, but no roll lasts forever…
 

Back To “Sailor Moon” Stuff

 
After a week’s break the “Sailor Moon” characters “The Celestial Admirals” return. Last week I finished both the “DiC” and “Viz” dubs of season 2 of “Sailor Moon” or “Sailor Moon R”… There’s a lot to get to and I’ll go more into them later. Here’s a tl;dr read list of things about it though:
  • I effin’ HATE Rini/Chibiusa. She’s up there with “Xander” from “Buffy”. That’s a whole rant in and of itself
  • Wait! “Sailor Moon” and “Tuxedo Mask” end up ruling the world?! Why is nobody saying anything about this?!
  • The fist arc with the brother and sister… That was filler right?! Cuz’ man was some of that lazy
  • Way to overcomplicate the plot with Steven Bannon and the “Death Phantom”
  • There’s a sailor scout that guards time?! What are the implications of this?! What is the nature and importance of their powers?
  • “Sailor Moon” and “Tuxedo Mask” RULE THE WORLD! What the hell?!
I also started on the “Cloverway” dub of season 3 or “Sailor Moon S”. What happened to “Sailor Moon’s” voice.?! It sounds like they took the original voice actress, and fired her. Then hired her grandmother, and punched in the throat before every take.
Tomorrow Freedom Female and Proud Lion talk with Space King and Spiderous-Man. They discuss investing and Proud Lion dishes out another saying. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Final Thoughts On The “Wonder Woman” Movie

Alright, it’s time to wrap this up. I didn’t talk much about the good parts of the movie so let’s get to that. Even though the movie overrated by EPIC proportions it isn’t terrible. Here’s the good stuff.

  • Gal Gadot – She is, of course, beautiful and also very charming. She has a smile that make you want to smile too
  • Chris Pine – He does a good job
  • “Etta Candy” – She’s pretty funny. The movie needed more of her
  • The lasso – Looked awesome when used
  • The action – There’s way too little, but most of it is pretty well done

wonderwoman

Now here’s some bad things I didn’t get into before

  • Poor man’s “Howling Commandos” – This movie didn’t need these guys. They brought nothing to the table
  • The humor – Though better than some of the other “DCEU” movies still weak. Like the action ALL the funniest stuff are in the trailers. In fact they’re funnier in the trailers
  • Setting the movie in WWI – Bad decision. There’s a reasoning behind it in the movie, but still a bad decision. There has always been a connection between “Wonder Woman” and “WWII”. It’s a less interesting war. Also the technology doesn’t allow for “Wonder Woman” to have any challenge. At least until she fights Ares.
  • The framing device – All this does is remind you of “Batman V Superman” which was horrible. Wasted time here. Jump into the movie and let’s go. Which leads to…
  • Young Diana – All this does is give exposition and attempt to make you care about a character that dies. The exposition could’ve gotten laid out in a better way. Also you still don’t care about the character that dies when they do. Again wasted time.
  • Wasted time in general – A lot scenes are there to set up a single joke or something. The joke is never good enough for the wasted time. This is a general problem with the “DCEU”. The plot stalls for scenes that waste time. This how you get long boring movies that STILL don’t have enough action.

So again, its a C+ movie. Now that Joss Whedon is directing “Justice League” it’s possible that could be okay. Let’s hope. That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wonder Woman: The Origin Of Clay Girl

“Wonder Woman” is a hard nut to crack. She’s a strange character with a strange origin. Her origin is under neverending revision. In the original version she got created from clay. This makes her not even a person. Then you combine that the fact she got raised on an all-women island. This is make for the story of the ultimate outsider. The outsider amongst outsiders. This is a story “Wonder Woman” doesn’t tell though. More recently, she it got changed to her being Zues’ daughter. Now she’s one of many demi-gods. In both version she didn’t earn her powers and she’s not special. None of this even gets into all the weird bondage stuff in her early days.

Then there’s her villains. I’ve pointed it out a few times in these comics but she only has two most people know. They’re “Cheetah” and “Giganta”. Neither of which seem to be a true match for “Wonder Woman”. The fact that neither of them is even hinted at in the movie was a mistake.

wonderwoman

“Wonder Woman” still has no true arch-enemy. She still doesn’t have her “Joker” or “Lex Luthor” even after all these years. So in slight defense of the movie they had a hard job.

Tomorow Spiderous-Man gets replaced by Q-boy. He’s sent in to try and salvage this drunken madness. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

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.

wonderwoman

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!

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!
