Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #103

Nodachi, J-Pop, & Mental Assassin On The Asian Girl Cypher (Censored)

ccc-103-nodachij-popandmentalassassinc

Not as much stuff cut from this comic due to space as in the last one.  Mostly the girls talking before they start rhyming. The main part cut was that Nodachi’s part originally started with “Folks go Nodachi you so cocky/ Mad cuz’ my IG ya beau on seeing my photos fondly/ Maybe I should stop…”. The J-Pop says “No go on please”.

The line “Nodach go head n’ rock this” is a reference to the line “2pac go head n’ rock this” by Shock G from the song “Same Song” by Digital Underground. This is the first song 2pac appears on.

The “Gambino’s dream” line is referring to Childish Gambino/ Donald Glover who in many songs (especially his earlier ones) talks about being into Asian girls.

That’s it for this week. Next week should start off with “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” (not 100% sure I’ll be done) where we see artist Bobby Cakes fall into a vicious cycle. Then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I realized I had 3 different female assassin characters with strong accents and figured I’d put them all together.  It really would be weird (but also cool) to see “Elektra”, “Psylocke”, and “Black Widow” hangout and talk shop.  Two of them dated “Daredevil” so you got some interesting stuff right their.  Maybe some kinda blades vs guns debate.  The possibilities are endless.

Tomorrow Succubus and Red Witch have an uncomfortable conversation. Hope you enjoy and see ya then

Here’s the problem with every “X-men” movie, “Professor X”, “Magneto”, “Mystique”, and “Wolverine” (when he’s a major character) hog up all the spotlight so other characters suffer.  Another problem is pointless changes to characters that don’t add anything.  In “Apocalypse” they give “Psylocke” a weird ability she never had for no reason at all. So here’s some complaints I’ve heard about “X-men: Apocalypse”:

  • Not enough action – No there’s plenty of action and more importantly it’s GOOD action.
  • Mystique isn’t blue most of the time – It’s clearly established in the movie why and it makes sense. She’s blue when it makes sense for her to be blue. Sure it actually because Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t wear the make up all the time but still it does make sense.
  • Psylocke doesn’t talk much – …. She’s a ninja… Granted she given no back story though.

Now on to the comic. So this is mainly about “Black Panther” and “Storm” being married (they’re not now).  I always found it kinda weird. Like they’re both from Africa so they had to have run into each other? I know that “Wakanda” is suppose to be in Northeastern Africa, but I established Proud Lion’s kingdom (which I don’t have a name for yet) as being in Southern Africa because I based his costume on the look of a dark-mane lion which are more common there. Anyways tomorrow Gold Rush, General Magnetic, and Red Witch discuss family issues. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

With “Batman V Superman” I said stuff about how the critics are usually right.  Let me preface this first by saying “RottenTomatos” score for “X-men: Apocalypse” is TWICE the score of “BvS” and the audience score is higher as well.  So yeah I’m saying it, the critics are wrong on this one. It’s a good movie.  Might even be the best “X-men” yet.  Does it have problems? Certainly (although so does “Civil War”)? But they are problems that are part of EVERY “X-men” movie. (I’ll probably go into those specific problems later this week). If the review is “”X-men” movies don’t measure up to the best Marvel movies” then yeah.  But NO movies do except “The Dark Knight” and “Deadpool”. And honestly the top 3 movies may be unbeatable. If you like “X-men” movies you’ll like this one. More important than anything “Wolverine” kills people.  And it is glorious!  You know that part in “X2” where he stabs that one guy and you desperately want more and they NEVER deliver! You get a nice taste here.

Moving on, this comic features the first appearance of my “Jubilee” and “Psylocke” characters.  Originally I was gonna name J-Pop, Time Bomb but I thought it was kinda weak.  I racked my brain for a while and finally came up with “J-Pop” which I like a lot better. Mental Assassin, isn’t a name I’m super thrilled with, but I established it somewhere else so I’m stuck with it and I can’t think of anything better.  As this comic shows a glimpse of, “Psylocke’s” history is super convoluted as she was originally a British woman who switched bodies with an Asian assassin woman  (and there’s a lot more).  I decided to just make her a British Asian assassin from the jump.  I went back and forth if she should be British and or speak with an accent.  Ultimately I thought the accent made her more interesting so I went with it.  I’m sure its pretty broken and  inaccurate British that’s a poor mix of different regions.  I actually tried to listen the “Essex” accent which is what I think Psylocke’s should be, but I couldn’t catch the specifics of it in a way you could write it.

Next time Ms. Majors, Proud Lion, and Drizzle discuss “Fresh-Men: Armageddon” and rumors of a certain romance. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
