Wing-Man, Proud Lion, & Luscious Trapp On Luscious’ Wife Johanna Johnson

ccc-107-wingmanluscioustrappproudlion

So how many of ya’ll been watching (or have a watched for you super binge watchers) “Luke Cage”? I’ve watched about half of it and it’s pretty damn good. “Marvel” and “Netflix” has done it again! One thing I really like about the “Marvel” “Netflix” shows is that each show feels completely different than the others. It’s damn shame we’re not getting a “Ghost Rider” show like this.  Instead he get’s to hang with “Skye” from “Agents Of Shield” while she been annoying.

Speaking of which, tomorrow Luscious Trapp returns with Blind Fury and we’re introduced to Hell’s Hunter. They’ll be talking about his character being on the show “Operatives Of A.R.M.O.R.”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wing-Man On Possibly Taking America-Man’s Mantle

ccc-73-wingman

Now in “Marvel” there’s is or will be 2 “Captain Americas”, “Thors”, “Spider-Men”, and “Iron Men” at the same time.  That seems confusing from a branding perspective as well as within the “Marvel” universe itself. If someone yells out “Captain America” in a battle you don’t want 2 guys responding.  All of these choices were to help promote diversity which is admirable, but I really wish “Marvel” would just put the time and effort into creating entirely new characters, and using characters that already exist.  This is what they did with “Luke Cage”.  They got rid of the yellow shirt and the headband, and started using him.  Now he’s got a show coming out on “Netflix” after being part of the “Jessica Jones” show (which is based on the comic “Alias” where “Luke Cage” started being used again and gaining popularity).

“The Falcon” is awesome in the movies. So why not make the comic version of him more like the movie one? That’s what they did with “Nick Fury”. Anyways that’s it for this week.  Next week starts off with a “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where America-Man is called in for a rescue mission and we meet the man known as Dick Anger. New “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesday-Thursday.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wing-Man, America-Man, & Crimson Matroyshka On “America-Man:

Civil Unrest”, Crimson Matroyshka’s Solo Movie, & Friendship (Censored)

ccc-42-wingmanamerica-mancrimsonmatryoshkac

Looks like “Black Widow” is finally getting her own movie. Although I’m glad to hear about it I hope this isn’t something rushed out due to fan pressure. I know Scarlett Johansson probably wouldn’t slum it and do TV, but it would be awesome to see her on “Daredevil”, as he and “Black Widow” had a thing for a while.  Or “Daredevil” could show up in her movie, but that probably won’t happen either.

I re-watched “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” yesterday to make sure it was really better than “Civil War” (it is) and one of the things I liked most is Cap and Black Widow. What I especially like it that they’re NOT a couple.  That would’ve been so cliche and terrible. She’s a buddy and better yet a buddy trying to get him some.  I also re-watched “Age Of Ultron” and this might seem crazy but I think I like it more than “Civil War” too despite its many flaws.  “Ultron” > “Zemo” and “Hulk” and “Thor” take things to another level. One of the biggest things “Age Of Ultron” messes up is “Black Widow”.  One thing my friend Chris brought one time when talking about it is that one of the key things about “Black Widow” in the original “Avengers” movie is that she isn’t all butthurt about her past. She did bad stuff, she’s trying to do good stuff now. She fakes being all messed up about her past to trick Loki, but that’s it.  Then in “Age Of Ultron” we get her “ballerina” sequence which I think would’ve more effective had we not seen it. (In fact I think they should cut all the mind control stuff.  Also where are Scarlet Witch’s mind controlling powers in “Civil War”?) Then she REALLY throws it out there to Banner who rejects her because… I honestly still don’t know… He’s like “I dunno if she likes me” and even Cap’s like “bruh!”.  Then she makes it even more clear and he’s like “I’m a monster and I can’t have kids” and she’s like “me too”.  And then… Nothing… Then “Black Widow” get captured by “Ultron” which is really weak! Then at the end Banner takes a plane and flies off for some reason.  Hope you get better luck in your movie Widow.

Tomorrow Special-Girl, Spiderous-Man, and Quickie talk about switching sides. Hope you enjoy, and see ya then!

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #52 The Colorful Countess AKA The Secret Weapon (Censored)

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #52 The Colorful Countess AKA The Secret Weapon (Censored)

qbs52c

Marlene Severie is based on Marie Severin whose was one of very few female comic books artists during the Silver Age of comics. She started out as a colorist and eventually moved on to doing penciling and inking.  She is probably best known for her work on Marvel’s comedy magazine “Crazy” and the comedy comic “Not Branch Echhh”.  She also helped to co-create the original Spider-Woman.

Panel 4 is based on two panels from two pages from Not Brand Echhh #3 (panel 3 on the first page and panel 5 on the second page) which you can check out here http://comicsworkbook.tumblr.com/image/135398438602

I hear some people have been talking about that 3rd Captain America movie that came out…. So yeah I ended up seeing it twice on Saturday.  Some have said it’s the best Marvel movie… Other say it’s the best comic book movie period…. Does it live up to the talk…. Is it truly the greatest of the great?

(spoilers ahead)

Well first to be very clear it is a very good movie.  BvS can’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. The big showdown is absolutely awesome and ranks up with the best fights ever…. But no it’s not the best comic book movie.  It’s not the best Marvel movie.  It’s not even the best Captain America movie.  Marvel’s weakness in it’s movies are usually the villains and this one has a very weak villain with a plan that make little sense and with a weak motivation.  The big problem with this movie is in trying to keep the villain and their plans mysterious is make them confusing. Here some other nitpicky stuff

  • The movie tries to be a Captain America movie but it really should’ve been named “Captain America & Iron Man : Civil War”, “Avengers: Civil War”, or “Marvel’s Civil War”
  • Cap’s position is dumb.  I just can’t get behind it. They make Tony and the government go too far, but it just seems like there was a way to easily comprimise
  • Wanda literally just killed a bunch of people and Tony is like “she should lay low for a bit” and Cap’s reaction is like “you MONSTER!”
  • Aunt May being young and hot just feels wrong.  I think it’s important that Aunt May is kinda old and frail and Peter always has to worry about taking care of her.
  • Spider-man in general could have been fit in more neatly. You just change the “college” speech/grant scene to a “gifted student” scene and have Tony see something that gets him to figure out Peter is Spider-man
  • They just kinda wasted Crossbones
  • The kiss with Agent 13 didn’t feel earned
  • Kinda weak to introduce all these “other Winter Soliders” and then do nothing with them

The unsung hero of the movie is Falcon. He really kicks ass in the movie.  I was really cool seeing a more “typical” Avenger’s mission. No one feels like the they were over powered and underpowered in the fights. One small exception is toward the end when Iron Man and Cap are fight it seems like Iron Man’s armor suddenly get damaged way easier than normal. I’m not sure where I rank this movie about I think the top 5 comic books movies are…

  1. The Dark Knight (honestly may be unbeatable with Heath Ledger’s “Joker”)
  2. The Avengers (also may be unbeatable because you can never recapture the magic)
  3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (just plain a great film. Avengers only beats it because it has all the other heroes)
  4. Guardians Of The Galaxy (another just plain great film. Cap 2 only beats it out because it’s darker and he end credits scenes are better.  It’s that close)
  5. Deadpool (pretty much every second is violence, something funny, or both. Honestly this might rank higher if I re-watch all these)

Next time with see the comic Marlene created with features a big fight with Kill-man.  Also Tuesday-Thursday new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
