Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #94

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Spiderous-Man On Self-Esteem

ccc-94-theminstrelqboyspiderousman

I don’t get “Marvel’s” obsession with making Spider-Man young. In the original comics Spider-Man is only in high school for a few issues then he’s in college. With “Ultimate Spider-Man” this version of Peter Parker starts the series being 15 years old.  Then the “Miles Morales” version of “Ultimate Spider-Man” is 13 years old.

I think making “Spider-Man” younger and younger miss the point of  “Spider-Man”. The point (and this is very much IMHO) of “Spider-Man” is the he is a loser. “Peter Parker” handmade all his equipment including his webbing and web shooters as a relatively young guy.  He could have easily sold any of this and made millions. He has the strength and agility to easily be a pro wrestler, MMA fighter, or win something like “AGT”.  Instead of doing any of this he works for a guy who is obsessed with trashing him and seems to be perpetually broke.

Currently in the comics “Spider-Man” has “Parker Industries”, but he only has this because “Dr. Octopus” controlled him as “The Superior Spider-Man” and used some of Peter’s unused potential. Guess it’s a “mo’ money mo’ problems” situation.

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”!

I tend not to watch award shows. I find them really boring most of the time. Literally on Sunday I was looking for something to watch on TV and remembered “Comedy Central” been showing “Step Brothers” every other hour, and I up for watching yet again but from someone reason the “VMA’s” were on and Kanye was about to give his much talked about speech.

It was the usual Kanye nonsense. “Bruh” every other word, comparisons to great people, a somewhat relevant topic that gets brought up only to go back to talking about how great he and other artists are. Then he premiered a new video that’s just some hot chick dancing around in a gym and then she’s in a shower alone and with some dude.

Next time I won’t give in to curiosity and just watch clips on some website the next day. Tomorrow The Minstrel, Q-boy, and Muffina Winters continue with the topic of self-esteem. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

ccc-91-theminstrelqboyslowku

In most American comics if a superhero saves a city they become so famous they have to have a secret identity so everyone they love isn’t targeted by villains (of course their identity is always found out and all their loved ones are targeted anyways).

“Goku” saved the world if not the universe quite a few times and only a handful of people know who he is or what he did. Pretty much every time something happens or the situation makes it so people can’t see him do it.

It would be interesting to see a “what if” where people knew “Goku” saved the world. I’d imagine he’d be very uncomfortable. I’ve gotten into this before but “Goku” spends A LOT of time alone or with few people. His house is basically a shack in the woods. Also any perks of fame would be lost on “Goku”. The guy basically wears one outfit, and seems pretty happy to eat whatever he can hunt and kill. Some of these things change a bit in “Dragonball Super” but that’s clearly “Chi Chi’s” doing not his.  In real life “Goku” has a holiday and is the one of the most famous heroes in all entertainment across the globe and he’d probably hate that…

That’s it for this week. Next week we start off with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where we meet “The Outlaw”. Then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Q-boy, Death Poll & Kill Screen On The Greatness Of Popularity (Censored)

I’ve seen a guy from “DC Comics” way “fuck “Marvel””. I’ve seen actors whine about, give excuses for, and talk about “great deleted scenes in “Suicide Squad”. I’ve seen pretty much of the whole cast of “Suicide Squad” give the middle finger the critics. What I haven’t seen is class.

For some reason “DC” especially in their movies want to to be the “bad boy”. And that just isn’t what makes “DC” what it is. All their movies so far have these awkward moments where they try to be “edgy” and it’s just weird and kinda sad. It like if the kid everyone knows is a goody two shoes all of a sudden started smoking. You would just give him the side eye as he struggles not to cough.  What makes “DC” what it is are two things. Legacy and possibility. Anything can happen in the “DC” (multi) universe even the whole thing being (repeatedly) rebooted.

Stop trying to be bad. No one’s buying it, and even if anyone did that’s not gonna make anyone like your movies. Embrace what makes you great. Let “Superman” smile, and hope really hard “Marvel” doesn’t take over “Hulu” too. Cuz’ if this “Runaways” show they got planned is half as good as the comic they will.

Tomorrow The Minstrel returns along with Q-boy and Slowku to talk about how Slowku avoids popularity. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Innovator, Q-boy, & The Minstrel On Sudden Popularity (Censored)

ccc-89-theinnovatorqboytheminstrelc

Names can be hard to come up with.  Sometimes I find it to be the hardest part of making these comics.  So what I’m about to say isn’t being said without sympathy…

… In the comics “Iron Man” has this 15 year old black girl protege named “Riri Williams”.  It was looking like “Riri” was going to take “Iron Man’s” place after “Civil War II” possibly even using the name “Iron Man”.  Yesterday it was revealed she’ll be using name…. *drumroll* “Iron Heart”…..

“Iron Heart”?!  Really?! I mean “Iron Girl” or “Iron Woman” aren’t great but “IRON HEART”?!

Maybe I’m missing something or it’s just me, but I’m not feeling that name at all. Anyone feel the same? Different?

Tomorrow Q-boy returns with Death Poll and Kill Screen to talk about the perks of popularity. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On School

ccc-88-theminstrelqboyslowku

Don’t really have anything to say about this comic so I’m going to go off topic and talk about the animated movie “Batman: The Killing Joke”. I finally got around to watching this and wow does “Batgirl” get done dirty. So if you don’t know the in the comic this movie is based on “The Joker” shoots and permanently paralyzes “Batgirl” (until the “New 52”) as part of his plot to drive “Commisioner Gordon” insane like himself. It’s a great comic but kinda problematic because “Batgirl” is basically just used at a plot device and there some real dark stuff suggested that happens to her as well.

It seem likes the movie tries to make this better (and to fill up time since the comic isn’t enough material for a whole movie) by adding a “Batgirl” adventure to the beginning.  This makes things a lot worse.  First of all it just doesn’t fit with the rest of the movie. It’s very badly done and it’s jarring when the story just switches.  Also the story doesn’t make “Batgirl” look very good. It makes her seem pretty amatuerish and “Batman” REALLY talk down to her. Then she kinda throws a tantrum and tries to fight him… Then she gets all hot and bothered and bangs “Batman”. I knew going in that this happens and it’s so much worse than I thought.  It’s really gross.

The part that just adapts “The Killing Joke” is pretty good, but again wow was the “Batgirl” stuff unnecessary.  They should have really made it clearly two separate stories. One about “Batgirl’s” last mission before she retires (where she’s competent and doesn’t bang “Batman”) and then “The Killing Joke” story. That’s just my 2 cents though. What are yours?

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Can “Wonder Woman” break “DC’s” streak of bad movies? It’s possible. The trailer was pretty good. The only thing is there’s still no clear villain.  I see this as a bad sign.  This seems to indicate there’s either no real villain or the villain sucks.  This is a tough area for “Wonder Woman” as she only has 2 villains that a decent amount of people would know.  That’s “Cheetah” and “Giganta”.

On top of that you gotta fit whatever you plan to do around World War I. Having the movie take place during World War I as opposed to World War II where “Wonder Woman” actually debuted in  the comics is a decision I find particularly strange.  The only reason I can think of for doing it is to avoid comparisons to “Captain America”. Those comparisons to are unavoidable. It’s already noted that both feature soldier’s named “Steve” played by a guy named “Chris”.

I guess only time will tell… Tomorrow The Minstrel and Q-boy return to talk about school along with Slowku. Hope you emjoy and see ya then!
