If you follow these comics or my posts on social media you should get the sense I love both comics and rap. Also anime, genre-shows and other elements of “nerd culture” as well. Mixing all these elements make the strange (but tasty?) gumbo that are these comics. One thing I’m about is bridging any gaps between “nerd culture” and “hiphop culture”. They are similar and cross into each other in many unexpected ways. Make no mistake, GOOD rappers are nerds.

They are people obsessed with pop culture and vocabulary; and they put real research into what they rap about. Also comic writers and artists much like rappers are often completely screwed by the companies they work for. That’s a whole other topic for another day though.

Tomorrow all these characters return to get into why Slowku left Special-Girl to live with Admiral Star. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I figured once Slowku and Admiral Star met they should hang out. Admiral Star now hosts this world’s “America’s Got Talent”. That show is known as “Talentless Americans Trying To Host A Crappy Vegas Show”. So it would make sense that she’s space for him to stay with her. Since he was living with Special-Girl she would have a problem with this. Of course having him go home to his actual family wasn’t even a consideration.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Final Thoughts On The “Wonder Woman” Movie

Alright, it’s time to wrap this up. I didn’t talk much about the good parts of the movie so let’s get to that. Even though the movie overrated by EPIC proportions it isn’t terrible. Here’s the good stuff.

  • Gal Gadot – She is, of course, beautiful and also very charming. She has a smile that make you want to smile too
  • Chris Pine – He does a good job
  • “Etta Candy” – She’s pretty funny. The movie needed more of her
  • The lasso – Looked awesome when used
  • The action – There’s way too little, but most of it is pretty well done

wonderwoman

Now here’s some bad things I didn’t get into before

  • Poor man’s “Howling Commandos” – This movie didn’t need these guys. They brought nothing to the table
  • The humor – Though better than some of the other “DCEU” movies still weak. Like the action ALL the funniest stuff are in the trailers. In fact they’re funnier in the trailers
  • Setting the movie in WWI – Bad decision. There’s a reasoning behind it in the movie, but still a bad decision. There has always been a connection between “Wonder Woman” and “WWII”. It’s a less interesting war. Also the technology doesn’t allow for “Wonder Woman” to have any challenge. At least until she fights Ares.
  • The framing device – All this does is remind you of “Batman V Superman” which was horrible. Wasted time here. Jump into the movie and let’s go. Which leads to…
  • Young Diana – All this does is give exposition and attempt to make you care about a character that dies. The exposition could’ve gotten laid out in a better way. Also you still don’t care about the character that dies when they do. Again wasted time.
  • Wasted time in general – A lot scenes are there to set up a single joke or something. The joke is never good enough for the wasted time. This is a general problem with the “DCEU”. The plot stalls for scenes that waste time. This how you get long boring movies that STILL don’t have enough action.

So again, its a C+ movie. Now that Joss Whedon is directing “Justice League” it’s possible that could be okay. Let’s hope. That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Wonder Woman: The Origin Of Clay Girl

“Wonder Woman” is a hard nut to crack. She’s a strange character with a strange origin. Her origin is under neverending revision. In the original version she got created from clay. This makes her not even a person. Then you combine that the fact she got raised on an all-women island. This is make for the story of the ultimate outsider. The outsider amongst outsiders. This is a story “Wonder Woman” doesn’t tell though. More recently, she it got changed to her being Zues’ daughter. Now she’s one of many demi-gods. In both version she didn’t earn her powers and she’s not special. None of this even gets into all the weird bondage stuff in her early days.

Then there’s her villains. I’ve pointed it out a few times in these comics but she only has two most people know. They’re “Cheetah” and “Giganta”. Neither of which seem to be a true match for “Wonder Woman”. The fact that neither of them is even hinted at in the movie was a mistake.

wonderwoman

“Wonder Woman” still has no true arch-enemy. She still doesn’t have her “Joker” or “Lex Luthor” even after all these years. So in slight defense of the movie they had a hard job.

Tomorow Spiderous-Man gets replaced by Q-boy. He’s sent in to try and salvage this drunken madness. 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.

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!

“The Flash” Beats “Supergirl” In The Race For Crappiness

ccc-204-specialgirladmiralstaandadmiralatemplate-01ccc-204-specialgirladmiralstaandadmiralatemplate2-01

I’m going to call the winner. During this season of “DC Comics” “CW” shows there’s been a clear race to the bottom between “Supergirl” and “The Flash”… Guess you should never bet against “The Flash” in a race. As I write this I haven’t seen the finale to “Supergirl” yet. It hasn’t even aired yet actually. Unless something in that finale is the one stupidiest things I’ve ever seen “The Flash” is worse.

“XXX” 3 It Gets Stupider Still

Speaking of the stupidest things I ever seen I half-watched the last “XXX” movie this weekend. Good lord! Everything said or done in that movie is stupid. To be clear, I’m not “avant garde” movie snob. I watch more action movies and comic book movies than anything else. This movie makes “The Expendables” look like “Citzen Kane” or something. Please America, stop liking and supporting garbage!

Okay I’m stepping down from the high horse. Tomorrow J-Pop finally meets her idol Admiral A as Admiral Star & Sadistic Squirrel watch. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

J-Pop & Admiral Star On Being Like Admiral A

ccc-202-j-popandadmiralstartemplate-01ccc-202-j-popandadmiralstartemplate2-01

How did I get on this whole “Sailor Moon” thing to begin with? Well, I was trying to think of something to do for the 200th of these conversations. For a while I kept seeing “Sailor Moon” pop on “IG”, “Facebook”, and “Twitter”. More often than not it was a Black “Sailor Moon”. That’s when I thought to myself “yeah she’s important enough of a character that the comic needs a version of her”.

“Sailor Moon” might be the very first thing you think of when you think of the word “anime”. The iconic “sailor outfit” beats even images from “Dragonball”, “Akira”, or “Ghost In A Shell”. Is it good though? Do I like it? These are questions I still can’t give a definitive answer to.

 sailormoon

I’ll get more into that later though. Today’s comic pokes some fun at “Sailor Moon says”. They were segments that were at the end of most episodes of the original English dub. That dub being a whole conversation in itself. Tomorrow, we finally meet Admiral A. She and Admiral Star share the stages and well… You’ll see… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, Admiral Star, & Badassia On Apologies & Atrocities

ccc-201-specailgirladmiralstarbadassiatemplate-01ccc-201-specailgirladmiralstarbadassiatemplate2-01

Here I introduce my “Gamora” character. She’s another of The Renegades Of Reality are my “Guardians Of The Galaxy” characters. These characters are a little different than the other. They are in most ways parodies of the “Guardians Of The Galaxy” team. Some of them though, are mixes of several characters. “Badassia” is a mixture of :

  • “Gamora”, (of course)
  • “Aeryn Sun” from “Farscape”
  • “Sarah Conner” from “Terminator
  • “Leela” from “Futurama
  • & “Samus” from “Metroid”

    I noticed all these characters were the same type. Also with “Space King” I combined:

  • “Star Lord” (again of course)
  • “John Criton” from “Farscape”
  • & “Phillip J. Fry” from “Futurama”

 

These characters were also the same type. The “normal” guy thrust into crazy space adventure. There’s also several “unspoken things” between these two character types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

unspoken

The other big thing in this comic is the “twist” to “Sailor Moon” for “Admiral Star” and her team. I debated hinting at it yet, but I figured a character like “Badassia” would have to say something about it. Besides I have more up my sleeve…

Tomorrow Admiral Star and J-Pop have another conversation. Things go a little different this time. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 200B– Admiral Star & Special-Girl On Special-Girl’s Authority

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 200B– Admiral Star & Special-Girl On Special-Girl’s Authority

 

ccc-200B-admiralstarandspecialgirltemplate-01ccc-200B-admiralstarandspecialgirltemplate2-01

So as we saw in the last comic Admiral Star is my version of “Sailor Moon”. As this comic mentions she’s half Black and half Korean. So if you know “Sailor Moon” you know that “Sailor Venus/ Sailor V” actual came first. She was also so famous in “Sailor Moon’s” world that she had video games, comics, and movies about her.

“Sailor Moon” idolizes “Sailor V” and then one day she appears and is part of the team. She now leads this chick she idolizes. This is not addressed much in “Sailor Moon”. Also is “Sailor V” rich from all this stuff? She doesn’t seem to be.

brokemf

That’s part one of the jokes from yesterday’s comic. “Admiral A” who is my version “Sailor Venus” is WAY richer and more poplar than “Admiral Star”. This will be a bigger part of tomorrow’s comic.

Speaking of which, tomorrow Admiral Star meets J-Pop . Then Admiral Star make a wrong assumption and things go bad from there. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I’m going to change my plans for the 200th comic. The story I had in mind has become bigger and I need more time to develop it. What I plan to do now will be a few of these comics to introduce my version of “Sailor Moon” and the other “Sailor Scouts”. In fact I finished the design of my version of “Sailor Moon” for this comic last night. Her name is Admiral Star.

 On to this comic. I’ve been wanting to bring back Q-girl and Spiderous-Man for while. I couldn’t find the right story for them until now. The whole “The Mindy Project” thing came from me finally wanting to see what was going on during the last season. I then realized I had only watched half of the season before. “Mindy” is always a show I root for because it started as a good show. It always get screwed up though. People who aren’t funny (Mindy’s friends?) keep getting added to it. They not only aren’t funny in their own right they hog up time from the good characters. Oh well, I hear next season it ends anyway…

 mindy

Tomorrow we meet up with Slowku, The Innovator, Headmaster Fresh, and Mr. Stretch. An unexpected schooling in taxes gets dropped. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
