I’ll get more into “Perfect” Spiderous-Man later. In short, he’s this world’s “Miles Morales/ Ultimate Spider-Man”. I’ve hinted about him for a while, but finally decided what I wanted to do with him. He’s the nightmare version of what happens when you give a kid a bunch of money…

That’s not important now though. Let’s talk about “Spider-Man: Homecoming”…

“Spider-Man: Homecoming”: “Iron Man Jr.”

Is Fine With Me

Let’s start with the obvious questions. Is it the best “Spider-Man” movie? Yeah, but that’s not saying much. Is it better than “Wonder Woman”? Well yeah, but “Wonder Woman” wasn’t very good. It’s a mid-tier “Marvel” movie. A solid B. A straight 80% B. I was never bored by it. I’d say overall my feeling was “this is fine”. Some have a problem with it, but this is more of an “Iron Man Jr.” movie than a “Spider-Man”, but that’s fine with me. There are some problems but I’ll get into those tomorrow.

Tomorrow we switch out Luscious Trapp for Admiral Star. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Be skeptical of anyone telling you they’re going to lower your taxes. An asshole might ask something like “why do you like taxes”? Nobody likes taxes, but everybody (including the assholes against taxes) like the services they help to fund. When you lower taxes often you’re going to either loses needed services or someone’s going to try to do something “the cheap way”. Ask the people in Flint how the “the cheap way” works out.

Some might ask why I keep using the word “asshole”. I use it because I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. I’m assuming they know all this. Therefore they’re just appealing to people’s worst instincts for money and or power. Also they’re doing this knowing the damage it will cause in people’s lives. That right there makes them an asshole by any definition!

I said a lot of what I had to say about Grover Norquist’s “guitar tweet” yesterday. Also as I write this it is actually Independence Day so I’ll keep this short. You almost always pay more in the long run when you cut taxes. This is especially true if the word “deregulation” is being thrown around. You not only pay more in actual money but in crime, health, and service.

Tomorrow these guys return to talk on this even more. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

How What Are Born?!

grover

This whole week of comics is inspired by this tweet last week from Grover Norquist. If you don’t know who this is he the main “anti-tax” guy. Twitter quickly took to tearing this guy apart by schooling him on how taxes work. They showed him how sales taxes help to pay every part of getting the guitar. From road maintenance to police protection, to (if there’s still a music program) the class that would teach his kid to play the guitar.

Let’s go with this story though. Let’s say the sales tax in this story is 10%. I’m pretty sure the highest sales tax in any state is around 7% but let’s go with this to keep the math easy. The tax would be $3.50. Some parents would give the kid the extra money. Some would use this as a valuable lesson on how everything costs more than it seems. Grover here is an asshole and goes to “Twitter” to whine about it.

This isn’t what this argument is really about though. It’s really about how society works. Do we pay all pay a little extra to make society better or believe it’s “everyone for themselves”? Let’s adjust this story now… Let’s say the guitar now costs (an UNTHINKABLE) $50. In this world though, that extra money ensures that a poor kid whose parents have no insurance can get life-saving surgery. I figure even the stingiest parent gives their kid at least $15 a week for an allowance. So would you wait one week to save the kids life?

Some people would start with the excuses. “The parents don’t work hard enough”. “They should’ve worked harder in school”. The same school they don’t want to fund with taxes. The excuses are where it starts. That’s how assholes are born… Tomorrow these guys continue on. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

…Oh and happy 4th of July!

“Sailor Moon S” & “SuperS” : From Bad To Worse

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 221 – Special-Girl, Freedom Female, & Admiral Fire & Spiderous-Man On Admiral Star

I’ve now watched “Sailor Moon S” and “Sailor Moon SuperS”. These are season 3 and 4 of “Sailor Moon” if you don’t know. They only put of the second part of the “Viz” dub for “S” last week so I’ve only watched the “Cloverway” dubs… Gotta say “Sailor Moon” goes from bad to worse here…I’ll go into more detail about each season later but generally:

With “S”:

  • The new “Sailors” “Uranus” and “Neptune” take up way too much of the spotlight. They’re also not very interesting characters. These are the famous lesbian “Sailors”. The “Cloverway” dub tries to avoid the lesbian stuff. They then make the strange decision to make them cousins. For a big part of the season they won’t tell the other Sailors what they’re up to. Even though it would take them like 5 minutes. It’s dumb
  • I will say though I dislike “Rini/Chibiusa” less in this season. It’s funny that her powers don’t work most of the time and only cause pain without harming enemies.
  • At a certain point “Sailor Moon” has to transform, go “Super Saiyan” then do her one-hit kill move to kill enemies. This is also dumb
  • There’s a “Sailor” of destruction that it able to destroy an entire planet?! Why?! Again I say, WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THEIR POWERS?!
  • They commit the ulitmate sin here… They leave the big final fight as something you can’t see. In fact the whole last fight with the big bad is SO cheap. They use A LOT of still photos instead of showing action. That’s bullshit, man!

With “SuperS”:

  • For a while the show becomes like a bad American girl’s cartoon from the 80’s. There’s even a villain with a weird voice and a sidekick and a flying horse. This person isn’t the “real big bag” though. With the now obvious pattern of this show the “real big bad” shows up about halfway in. She’s “Queen Beryl 2”, the less interesting version. Time also gets wasted with every useless side character that should’ve disappeared forever by now
  • There’s some CREEPY stuff going down with “Rini/Chibiusa” and “Pegasus”. ESPECIALLY in the “Freaky Friday” episode where she and “Sailor Moon” switch ages
  • The name of the attacks at this point have become self-parody
  • They just say eff any thought about how gravity works in the last episode

“Sailor Moon” & “Goku” : Mutual Over-eaters

Pretty much this whole comic is about how “Sailor Moon” eats a lot.

sailormoon

It interesting because there’s an episode early on where she gains half a pound or something. “Sailor Moon” then tries starving herself and over-exercising to lose the weight. In the “DiC” dub they make a point to be like “you’re being ridiculous”. In the more accurate “Viz” dub people are almost like “yeah you’re gonna be a fat ass”. Overall, it seems in the “Viz” dub people are meaner to “Sailor Moon”. I actually think this make her more likeable and the show funnier overall.

Seeing as “Goku” is also known for eating I thought it was time for the titans of anime to meet. Since “Wonder Woman” is known to loves ice cream I figured an ice cream party would be the place.

“All Eyez On Me” A 2pac Movie Crucified Much Like The Cover Of His Last Official Album

I’m as big a 2pac fan as any. So I went to see the biopic about him “All Eyez On Me” on Saturday. To say the least, this movie is getting A LOT of hate… I don’t get it. It’s pretty good. I’d give it a B. As a whole it is VERY accurate. There are tiny liberties taken for story reasons, but who doesn’t expect that?

pac

Jada Smith is whining about some tiny things they changed in the movie. This is weird cuz’ her character has a kinda big part and she portrayed very well.

The biggest complaint you can give the movie is that there’s too much to cover. You could make entires series about several parts of his life. More stuff happens in the last 9 months of 2pac’s life than pretty much anyone. Bottom line, the movie gets SO much SO right.

  • Almost every major thing that happened to Pac gets covered
  • A lot of famous thing you saw him wear is in the movie
  • The dude looks damn near identical to Pac rjoynesjr@gmail.com

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!

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.

wonderwoman

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!
