Today my dad, my youngest brother, & I saw Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny. My dad didn't like it, where as I found it as decent. It was a decent send off...but it could have been better. The acting was strong, but the plot is weak. I give it 6/10.
Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Accompanied by his goddaughter, he soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who works for NASA.

Continuing our King Kong-Trospective, Ingrid & I conclude the Toho Duology with King Kong Escapes! Adapting the old King Kong Cartoon, we see Konk vs his Robotic Double Mechani-Kong & Dr Who...no not that one. This was so much fun!
Dr Who decides to capture the real King Kong when it becomes clear that his mechanical copy is not capable of digging for the precious mineral he needs, but the giant Gorilla escapes and heads to Tokyo.

Okay Guys this is really getting out of hand! I know people don't like Dan Didio (and to a lesser extent Jim Lee) but in all honesty! What would happen, REALLY happen, if they left! Not what we WANT to see happen but what would most likely happen! It won't be pretty if you really think about it!

OH GOD! This was BEYOND painful to watch! The reason reaching this point in the retrospective took so long was cause of how bad this series was! Okay okay a summary first.
Godzilla appears! The biggest he's ever been! And devestates the Earth! Humanity escapes and makes it to a new world lightyears away. One day they decide to come back to earth and take it back from Godzilla! Now they don't just send a team ahead of them...oh no...the ENTIRE REMAING MEMBERS of the population all go! A group lands, led by an edgie boy Haruo Sakaki who lost his family during the escape from the planet! They find godzilla and succeed in killing him...only to find out that it was the SON of the king of the monsters! And he's not happy they murdered his boy!
And that's just the first movie...the others deal with MechaGodzilla turned into a city of sentient nanomachines...and then a spectral King Ghidorah is summoned...and by the end...UGH...okay okay let's get to the big problem with this whole trilgoy.
It's TWO MOVIES TOO LONG! Had it just been the first movie and ended the way it did, it would have been fine. A cruel irony and ends on a very Twilight zone esque twist. But then theyu decided to make two more movies!
Now don't get me wrong. City on the Edge of Battle was not that bad and ends with a feeling of hope (probably helps 1) it has MechaGodzilla in it that always makes what he's in better. and 2) it's the only one of the trilogy with a co-writer)
But it's the final movie, the Planet Eater, that torpedoes the entire things. Why? Well...just about everyone left from earth dies! It was made clear that they should NEVER have come back! The entire message of this trilogy is "If monsters chase you off. Accept your fate! Either lay down and die, or leave and never come back!" also "Science is bad, even Medicine!" OH and lastly "Humans are bastards, make way for the evoled Bug people who use only nature!" Yeah...just...UGH! This was such a drastic deconstruction alongside Paul Feig's Ghostbusters or Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi!
Oh and lastly...GODZILLA IS TOO BIG! He's BEYOND a force of nature...he's a boring invincible villain that is so big you can never accept him ever loosing cause nothing can stop him!
So yeah...this was BEYOND Painful to watch! And Ingrid and I both recommend you AVOID this as much as possible! BUT Join us later as we go over a FAR Superior Godzilla Anime with Godzilla Singular Point!

Been a while since I've done one of these. Even LONGER without having it directed at the Comic Youtuber Community. Maus is being Banned in certain red state school districts...WHAT THE FUCK?!?
Seriously WHAT THE FUCK! And what were the reasons? Saying God dammit and having ONE scene of female nudity! And excessive violence! UGH CONTEXT truly is dead isn't it?
THIS IS THE HOLOCAUST! Things were NOT Sunshines and Rainbows! IT WAS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST EVIL THINGS IN HISTORY FOR A REASON! And the cursing...OF COURSE THEY'D CURSE AND TAKE THE LORDS NAME IN VAIN! After all that happened to these people, they'd question their faith!
The nudity...it was ONE SCENE of a Comic within a comic of creator Art Spiegelman! His father found an old comic he drew after his mother committed suicide to get the anger out of his system. ONE SMALL PANEL showed his mother naked and dead in the bath tub...THAT'S IT! OH and there's the nudity of the male side during the stuff in the camps! And APPARENTLY this is NORMALIZING Nudity?!? You can barely make it out, and you certainly wouldn't want to jerk off to it unless you're some sort of sick fuck.
Seriously...I read Maus when I was in middle school, it was in our school library. It opened my eyes to the idea of comics being more than just superheroes...it also told me so much about the Holocaust than I ever wished to know but didn't glorify it either!
Seriously...I am beyond outraged at all of this!

On Today's Lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @adeadguy & I conclude out Whatever Happened to the World's Finest with Neil Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader! Where as Superman got a definite final story, this one gets a metaphorical final story that only Neil can tell
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? is a story written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Andy Kubert. In a similar fashion to "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", the two-issue tale presents a "final" Batman story, in which the characters and history are based around the ultimate demise of the Dark Knight. This story was written as a follow-up to the storylines Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis, in which Batman is apparently killed.

Continuing with our Frank Miller Marathon, Ingrid & I dive into Frank's solo-directorial debut with his adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit &...it's something else. It's not great, but it's not trash. It's so bad it's good! A definite Guilty pleasure!
Murdered in the line of duty, rookie cop Denny Colt mysteriously returns from the dead and begins cleaning the streets of crime-infested Central City as superhero The Spirit. Assisted and hampered by an alluring bevy of femme fatales, including childhood sweetheart Sand Saref, slinky secretary Silken Floss and mystical siren Lorelei, The Spirit finds his nemesis in The Octopus, a murderous supervillain.
