“San Diego Comic-Con” A View Of The Future One Phone Cam Video At A Time

comiccon

So “San Diego Comic-Con” was this weekend meaning EVERY movie trailer, teaser, and announcement was released. Some highlights:

  • “Avengers: Infinity War” – Only saw phone cam footage on IG, but I did see the whole thing… Good lord does this look awesome. I concerned about how all these characters are going to fit into one movie though
  • New “Justice League” trailer – Looking more and more like it’ll be okay… The whole pretending “Superman” isn’t in it thing is getting really old. Also I must repeat yet again “The Flash” looks stupid. Whedon you still got time make that his “joke costume” and cgi a real suit on him. Oh and if that isn’t “Superman” that “Alfred” is talking to at the end it’s something stupid
  • “Flash Point” is the title of “The Flash” movie- Sigh! Seriously “DC” move on from this already? This story had been:
    • A bad comic
    • An okay animated DVD
    • A show ruiner for “The Flash” TV show
    • Stop already!
  • New “The Gifted” trailer- Wasn’t impressed before, but now I see this might end up being a good show.
  • New “Thor: Ragnarok” trailer – Looking better and better. I think we finally got ourselves a good “Thor” movie. Has “Marvel” fixed it’s one weakness in movies? We’ll see…
  • Michelle Pfieffer as “OG Wasp”/ Laurence Fishbourne as “Golaith” in “Antman And The Wasp” – Seems cool. Nice that “Batman” and “Catwoman” are part of “Marvel now

That covers all the big stuff for me. Tomorrow Spiderous-Man and Freedom Female are joined by Special-Man and The Good Knight. They talk about Admiral Star joining The American World Protectors Of America and til’ Freedom Female gets deep… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 230 – Perfect Spiderous-Man, Freedom Female, Admiral Fire, & Spiderous-Man On Going Too Far

Admiral Star has made quite a few enemies since she first appeared in the 200th comic. Those enemies seem to be coming together and wanting some payback. They include:

  • Special-Girl – They immediately got off on the wrong foot when Special-Girl tried to boss hog her as Trump’s Czar of Superpowered Bitches. This is settled when Special-Girl realized she was an associate (she’s actually her leader) of the at the time more famous Admiral A. Since “Admiral A” became a judge on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” (more on this later) they issues again. This time of who Slowku was living with. They eventually settled on “splitting custody”.
  • J-Pop – They also immediately got off on the wrong foot when J-Pop treated her poorly and talked down on her when she wanted to meet Admiral A. When J-Pop did meet Admiral A she rapped a sexual and politically charged verse for Admiral A. Admiral Star berated her for it and this became a viral sensation that landed her the job as judge on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show”.
  • Admiral Fire – These two have always had a contentious relationship as Fire constantly questions her leadership. This intensified when Fire asked Star to help her get on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” to help fulfill her dreams of being a singer. Star used this as an opportunity to embarrass Fire by faking that she got on the show only to use her audition as a joke
  • Spiderous-Man – A minor issue was her and Slowku eating most of the ice cream at an ice cream party thrown by Freedom Female. Spiderous-Man then was going to have a segment on “Talentless Americans Trying To Get A Crappy Vegas Show” but Admiral Star put a stop to it because she thought it would be corny. She then this week pull a prank by having The Innovator say he wanted Spiderous-Man to join the Revenge Squad
  • (Perfect) Spiderous-Man – “Regular” Spiderous-Man is his man. He rides with him
  • Others? – We’ll see…

Conversations 229 – (Perfect) Spiderous-Man, Freedom Female, The Innovator,

& Spiderous-Man On Initiation

ccc-228-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarinnovatortemplate-01ccc-228-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarinnovatortemplate2-01

I have a terrible secret I must confess. I was out of work for a while and I picked up a terrible habit… I watch “TMZ Live”. I don’t watch regular “TMZ” cuz’ I can’t stomach it. The announcer guy and his corny jokes alone makes it unwatchable. If you’ve never seen “TMZ” it’s a celebrity gossip show. They sent their vulture-like camera people to bother celebrities and they “report” on things. By “report” I means “Google” things and make wild guess about what going on. Then idiots call in and repeat whatever they said and desperately try to get attention. The main guy Harvey Levin is a wishy-washy halfway Trump supporter. He constantly tries to pretend he’s not VERY rich from “TMZ”. I guess so all the barely paid staff there don’t start asking for money. He also mentions about 800 times an episode that he used to be a lawyer. I guess this is him reflecting on a time when he had dignity.

I could go on and on, but I’m getting away from the point. On Thursdays “TMZ Live” does something special. They have this guy Tim do a segment called “Tim’s Rejects”. You know how you can go ANYWHERE on the internet and find really cool and interesting videos? Well Tim has the special talent of somehow missing all the good stuff and finding 3 crappy videos. He also sets them up very poorly. Usually he asks “have you ever [insert whatever’s in the video]”. The segment usually ends with Harvey berating the guy for how crappy the videos are. All of this is to say that this comic say Spiderous-Man is pretty much that guy, Tim.

Somehow I forgot to mention on of the biggest problems with “Spider-Man: Homecoming”. Spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet

[Spolier]

Near the end “Iron Man” says he’s going to let “Spider-Man” join “The Avengers”. “Spider-Man” then declines because he’s not ready. Then he asks if this is a test. Soon it’s revealed it wasn’t a test and “Iron Man” was actually going to put him on the team. There was a press conference set up and everything. To me this was a big mistake. “Spider-Man” hadn’t earned it. He broke the rules, hacked his suit, and he’s a kid. This also undercuts the maturity he shows be declining. In fact, “Spider-Man” should have had to make his own suit. One not nearly as good as the “Iron Man” one, but better than his original costume.

ccc-227-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarfiddyfotemplate-01ccc-227-perfectspiderousmanfreedomfemaleadmiralstarfiddyfotemplate2-01

As I mentioned before, “Perfect” Spiderous-Man is my version of “Miles Morales/Ultimate Spider-Man”. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do with him. Suddenly it hit me. He should be the nice kid who gets famous and goes completely off the rails. He should look like a mumble rapper, hang out with thugs, and always be on a combination of several drugs. He should be the guy who seems like he’s determined to die broke. Since I established a while ago that this character owned the “Spiderous-Man name” this makes sense cause a lot of the time this is what happens to kids who get sudden fame and money. Spiderous-Man is a loser who can’t win despite his best efforts. “Perfect” Spiderous-Man is a winner who can’t lose despite his best efforts… Until he does…

What’s Wrong With “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

  • The Vulture – Though Michael Keaton plays him well his whole deal doesn’t make any sense. With the tech him and his people are able to create there’s much easier (legal or illegal) ways to make money
  • Hacking – Pretty much all shows with tech people are guilty of this type of stuff, but still we’re supposed to believe some high school kid can hack into a suit created by one of the smartest people in the world. Get the hell outta here!
  • Zendaya’s Character- She’s annoying and then they reveal something about her that makes it SO much worse. It’s like “Robin” in “The Dark Knight Rises”. That still annoys the hell outta me
  • “Flash Tompson” – I give em’ credit for trying something different than the stereotypical “jock bully”, but this didn’t quite work.
  • Needs more “Iron Man” – Not really the movie’s fault, but yeah just give us “Iron Man 4”.

Again decent flick, but not particularly great. Tomorrow we swap out Admiral Star for Fiddy Fo’ as these guys discuss “handling a problem”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

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!
