Phoenix: Stop Rising And Stay Down

phoenix

I’ve been over how I feel about “Phoenix” a few times, but here’s the tl;dr version

  • The best interpretation of “Phoenix” is that it was “Jean Grey’s” actual power not some entity that took her place or inhabits her
  • Making it an entity to bring “Jean Grey” back was an okay way to have their cake and eat it too even though it undercuts the impact of the original story
  • Every appearance since then has made the whole thing stupider make less sense
  • Also on an barely related note get rid of the “young past X-men” (the original X-men were brought to the future and it’s dumb) and say there from an alternate reality. Also either bring back the real adult “Jean Grey” or leave her permanently dead.

There’s more to say about “Phoenix” and the rest of “Avengers 1,000,000,000 BC” , but I’ll save that for tomorrow. Speaking of which, tomorrow these guys talk even more about the Prehistoric Revenge Squad. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

What you guys think about “Phoenix” though?

The next big event happening with “Marvel” is “Generations” and part of that is a series called “Marvel Legacy”. Part of that is the introduction of “Avengers 100,000,000 BC”. Confused yet? To blatantly steal a line from “Watchmen” “don’t be alarmed that only indicates you are still sane”.

watchmen

If you haven’t seen the team it features Odin, “Agamotto” (the guy whose eye “Dr. Strange” wears), and a “Hulk”-looking guy whose a“Star Brand” (“Star Brand” is a “New Universe” character “Marvel” has been trying to make happen for the last few years).

fetch

Also there are version of “Phoenix”, “Iron Fist”, “Ghost Rider” (who rides a flaming Mastadon!!!), and “Black Panther”.

My kneejerk reaction is “this is stupid and makes no sense for a whole host of reason”, BUT the art looks good. So even though I’m going to make fun of this all week in these comics I’ll actually try to give it a fair chance when it comes out. Fingers crossed folks…

Tomorrow these guys return and continue on about the “Prehistoric Revenge Squad”. Hope ya enjoy and see ya then!

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!

Blind Fury On “Defense”

ccc-233-hazardhandsadmiralstarluscioustrappandblindfurytemplate-01ccc-233-hazardhandsadmiralstarluscioustrappandblindfurytemplate2-01

We close out this week with Admiral Star hiring this world equivalents to “The Defenders” as body guards. With this whole “setting up Admiral Star to be robbed” thing there’s a lot of pieces moving. Let’s review them…

People Burned By Admiral Star Who Are Actively Plotting The Setup

  • Spiderous-Man
  • (Perfect) Spiderous-Man
  • Admiral Fire – says she can ensure she’ll be temporarily defenseless

People Who Know About The Setup But Are Not Stopping It

  • Freedom Female – Purely out of nihilism because achieving her dream of a successful (but not very good) movie has left her Defense
  • J-Pop – tried to warn Admiral Star but got a nasty voicemail for the trouble, now her attitude is screw it

People Are Unwittingly Setting Up The Time And Place Of The Robbery

  • Special-Man, The Good Knight/ The American World Protectors Of America (tricked by Spiderous-Man suggesting that Admiral Star be put on the team)

People Potentially Defending Admiral Star

  • The Defense Squad (Blind Fury, Luscious Trapp, Johanna Johnson, & Hazard Hands)
  • Slowku
  • Her teammates the Celestial Admirals

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…
