On Today's Lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @NerdettesNewsStand joins me to once again talk about her "Love" of TMNT with The Last Ronin: The Lost Years. A Prequel/Sequel that fills in gaps. Tris LOVES the new turtles & who can blame her! RETURN TO THE RONIN-VERSE! In TMNT: The Last Ronin, readers were taken on a pulse-pounding trek through time—past, present, future—to witness the final gut-wrenching days of the Heroes in a Half-Shell. In Last Ronin–Lost Years, new secrets of the Turtles’ past are revealed as we learn more about the devastating series of events leading up to the Last Ronin’s final battle, as well as its aftermath. For Michelangelo in particular, the march to his heartbreaking last battle was long and dangerous, taking him from New York City, to Japan, across Asia and Europe, and then back home again to administer final justice against those guilty of killing his family. But what happened during those fateful years when he had only the need for vengeance and Master Splinter’s journal to guide him? What battles did he fight? What hard lessons did he learn? #idwcomics #tmnt #thelastronin Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/staredcraft Tips: https://streamelements.com/willin/tip Patreon: https://patreon.com/PatronageFromTheMultiverse ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJuPaHy3dvw

Frank Miller! The Man who truly made Daredevil the Man without Fear, the Man who gave Batman his Balls Back (or so he claims), the father of Sin City! The Man...who went a bit crazy in the 2000's but has seemed to have finally mellowed out! He is a legend with a rollar coaster of a career that has had its ups and downs! And I'm here to talk all about him! Fair warning...I don't go much into his Marvel stuff (Sorry I don't own much of it) but I still have MORE than enough to gush about! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uDD3cpjCB4

Ingrid and I are back again with another Gamera Movie Marathon as we rewind now to the original 8 movies of what is known as the Showa Era. We'll be going over it's highs and it's incredibly painful lows. Now for the record, we will be going with the AiP dubs/re-edits of the movies when applicable. The Sandy Frank dubs were just too corny (but we know at least one movie we'll have no choice but to use that one). Entering the penultimate episode of the Showa era (And the last proper movie...more on that next time) Ingrid and I talk about Gamera vs Zigra...and how this had so much potential until it stumbled at the end! Yeah! This movie had a lot of potential! It nearly equaled Jiger in its quality for us! And that's not taking into account this was made during the dwindling final days of Daiei Studios! This had decent kids (not the best but not the worst), good adults (that again weren't totally useless) and a GREAT villain! Both human and monster! In fact, Zigra has to be Ingrid and Mine's third most favorite Gamera monster (Next to Gyaos and Legion) and is it any wonder? He's the most malicious of all the monsters and actually has sentience AND a voice! Yeah! He sends out demands and warnings to all of humanity with a voice given by a man who you knew was having a blast chewing the scenery! His design is very nice, the action with him is very good! You just felt this monster had a lot going on! And the pacing and plotting worked...for the most part. The one scene that was clearly affected by the downfall of Daiei was the need to extend a chase between the kids and the human villain through Sea World of Japan...but it wasn't that bad here at all. But what did ruin it was the climax of the movie. Basically we get some Deus ex Machina way to restore gamera (who gets incapacitated during his first fight with Zigra) the human characters trapped and corned by Zigra but, again we get a convenient way for them to survive. And the defeat of Zigra was not worthy of all the build up for him (he doesn't even get a final villain speech!) Basically this movie had a lot going for it but it tripped and fell in the last 15 minutes that it really hurt the overall quality. Still highly recommended...now pray for Ingrid and me tomorrow as we go over the finale (and WORST) of the Showa movies...see ya then ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORwmAKFkyFs

On Today's Lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @NerdettesNewsStand/@NerdettesNews joins me as we go over Geoff Johns & Gary Franks first time on Superman when the man of steel teams up with the Legion of Superheroes again...Racism?!? When he was a boy, Clark Kent was isolated and alone until he met this teen team from the 31st Century. Today, it's been years since Superman saw his childhood friends. Why haven't they returned to visit him? What's become of the symbol of Superman in the future? And just why is the future so dangerous for Superman? They warned him away, but now he's determined to help his friends -- even if it means his life! #dccomics #superman #legionofsuperheroes Tips: https://streamelements.com/willin/tip Patreon: https://patreon.com/PatronageFromTheMultiverse ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikTx4rfL-u0
