“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

“All Eyez On Me” : Back Reincarnated

I know I’m repeating myself, but I have say “All Eyez On Me” is a pretty good movie. It’s imperfect and not a “polished” as “Straight Outta Compton”, but it’s still pretty good. I’ve already covered the main legitimate complaint of critics which it’s a bit “jumpy”. Generally, they are WAY too harsh on this movie for some reason.

effmedia

I’ll move on to the “civilian” complaints. Most of the complaints I’ve seen are nitpicky at best. Most of this is 2pac “Stans” trying to prove how much they know. Half the time they’re either wrong or are guessing about things. None of that is important because YES the movie uses creative license with some events. Here’s some random complaints I’ve seen:

  • Jada Smith’s complaints- There’s a scene where 2pac read her a poem that didn’t actually happen. Also there a scene where her character confronts 2pac backstage at a concert. Okay this is here to show 2pac’s poems without having to go into a long backstory about them. With the confrontation it’s to show she disapproved some some things Pac was doing. Which she did. All this is is saving time by condensing. There’s nothing “hurtful” like she claimed
  • Anachronisms- People have said some uses an “Iphone 7” and “NBA2k” game was in it. I didn’t notice either of these. If true it’s a genuine gripe. Not movie ruining but a couple real flaws
  • So I started watching one “Youtube” review about the movie and it starts with them going on and on about how 2pac worked in pizza shop. I stopped the video soon after that. That’s how trivial some of the complaints are. Sad part is the movie DOES acknowledge it.
  • “Hail Mary” performance- There’s a concert scene where the song is performed. The song wasn’t released until after 2pac and wasn’t performed at this specific concert. It was a way to include a performance of a fan-favorite song. Dumb complaint.
  • “Death Row East” – There’s conflicting reports about Pac wanting to leave “Death Row”. In some of his last interviews Pac talks about “Death Row East” and seem to want to work with “Death Row” for the foreseeable future. In the movie Suge offers to be partners with Pac and tells him he can run “Death Row East”. People say the “Pac running “Death Row East” thing isn’t true. Story-wise it simplifies the matter and gives Pac a concrete reason for staying with “Death Row”. Right or wrong it’s a choice that works to me
  • “Final Car Ride With Suge” – In the car ride before the 2nd shooting Pac plays some new (as in present day) song by his group “The Outlawz”. Supposedly, they were actually bumping “Hail Mary” at this time. The current “Outlawz” song is kinda shameless, but whatever those guys deserve some shine. Also when “2pac” is shot gospel music plays. I’m up and down on that choice, but again not a movie ruining thing.Tommorow, Special-Girl and Freedom Female return with Spiderous-Man and Admiral Fire. They discuss issues with Admiral Star. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

 

In the end if you want accurate accounts of 2pac’s life there’s MANY movies people’s personal accounts of him. And MANY interviews with his own word. I think people wanted a movie as great as him. It’s not possible. Just the amount of material alone is too much for a single film. It’s a solid B movie, and if you haven’t seen it I recommend it.

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.

nerdsoami

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.

“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.

Tomorrow Freedom Female and Admiral Star return along with Special-Girl. The topic of discussion is Slowku’s living arrangements. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

“Sailor Moon” : The Trial Of “Tuxedo Mask”

When I first saw “Sailor Moon” many years ago I assumed “Sailor Moon” was somewhere around 16 years old. “Darian/ Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” is definitely an adult. If his age is outright stated I never caught it. To be conservative let’s say he’s 20. This is kinda “iffy”, but okay I guess. The “DiC” dubbed didn’t hammer home that she was actually 14 and in middle school. In more accurate “Viz” dub every episode in season 1 begins with her stating she is 14. This turns “iffy” into pretty wrong.

tuxedomask

So you’d think they wouldn’t bring the age thing as all on the show, right? Nope! They go right at it. Right in the first episode where they’re actually dating. (This is also where “Rini/Chibiusa” appears… Ugh!). Then it seems like “Darian/Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” comes to his senses and breaks it off. In the end it’s due to his future self “testing” them or something. It doesn’t make any sense though.

“Darian/Momaru/ Tuxedo Mask” is a pretty creepy guy. By day he somehow runs into the same 14 year old girl all the time. (Cough! Stalker! Cough!). When he does he acts like an absolute dick to her for no reason. Then by night he rescues her and is nice to her. That is until he discovers in a past life she was suppose to be his child bride or something. Then after “sorta dating” this same girl’s friend who’s also 14 he decides it okay to date her. All the negative stuff he always said to her goes away… Also they somehow take over the world in the future…

I use to love ComicBookResources.com. Then one day it became cbr.com. Now most of the site is a hodgepodge of clickbait garbage. To be fair, they still SOME good articles though. I say all this because I had said my piece on the “Wonder Woman” movie. It was okay at best, but VERY overrated. Now there’s an article on cbr.com about how it’s the best superhero movie ever… I not even going to bother to link to it…

“Wonder Woman”: Lassoed Back In

In fact, you know what? I’m not even going go over it again. I’m going to add this though. There’s this general assumption that “Wonder Woman” is the best “DCEU” movie. Which is saying nothing by the way. It MIGHT be. Looking back though, “Man Of Steel” has more and better action. It was more grim and out-of-character, but was it worse? I don’t know. I’d have to watch both again and I don’t want to though…

Saying “Wonder Woman” is the best superhero movie is like saying “George H.W. Bush” is the best president. Sure he was better than “Dubya” or Trump, but that doesn’t make him the best. It doesn’t even make him good. Again people, stop the madness! It’s a C+ movie.

Tomorrow Freedom Female returns with Admiral Star. We are also introduced to the “Tuxedo Mask” character Pickup Artist Pimp. 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!
