Comic Panel of the Week: Say my name

A little bit of Fist of the North Star.

My Opinion on the Joaquin Phoenix Joker Origin Movie

As a DC fan the current state of their movies has left me pretty down. Yeah I kind of liked BvS and Justice League when they came out but on additional viewings I noticed more and more problems. I'm also one of those weirdos that thought Suicide Squad wasn't as bad as everyone thinks it is and Wonder Woman was great of course. But with the recent announcements of Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill possibly leaving it got me worried about the future of these DC movies. Then they put out an image of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker from the Joker origin movie a week or two ago and needless to say I was whelmed.

Like the earlier pictures from the upcoming Tom Hardy Venom movie, instead of showing pictures of them in character they just showed pictures of the actors that look like mug shots they attached to their resume. All in all I wasn't too excited for this movie until today when they released a teaser/make-up test showing him looking more like the Joker. And I really didn't know how to feel about it but it did peak my interest.

The make-up looks more like a traditional clown with a bit of Heath Ledger's Joker thrown in, mostly just the hair. I was thinking that this might be what he looked like before he totally became the Joker and that he was some sort of tv/carnival clown instead of being a stand up comedian like he sometimes is in the comics but from what I saw of the set photos I think that this is going to be the Joker design. Which I am actually okay with, especially after seeing the set photos. Overall I think this might be a very interesting direction to go with the movie and I just hope that It's good. Us DC fans need a win. I do have to wonder if this is going to be stand alone though or is this going to take place within the continuity of the current DC movies. It might be a bit weird to see this Joker and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn together.

Comic Panel of the Week: Fencing Mary Marvel

Bad Bootlegs

Ah Bootlegs, They never cease to put a smile on my face. I first learned about them in a article from the Dragonball Quarterly Fan Magazine, and have come across many whether it be from a trip to the local dollar store or given as a hastily bought gift when I was a child. From time to time when I'm bored I go to eBay and see if I can find some funny or bad Bootlegs to get a chuckle from and today I decided to share some of the odd, funny, Or just plain weird Bootlegs I came across today.

First up is this He-Man and Star Wars chimera called Space Lord Vader. Pretty much just a repainted He-Man figure with a weird custom Darth Vader Head. Not really too much but we're just getting started. Also just a heads up alot of these are going to be Star Wars related.

Just in time for her solo movie comes this Carol Danvers Ms.Marvel figure, and she looks like she's seen some sh!t. The molding makes her look like a dude and I love the dynamic action pose of just kind of slouched over. It literally looks like they combined the individual pieces from several figures to make this one. The painting on this just looks lazy, they didn't even try to paint the arms the right color. Also I think you missed a bit around the chest area.

I know that you all wanted a Better Call Saul styled Star Wars Figure. The eBay account selling this lists it as "Star Wars Sucklord The Litigator 5000 Better Call Saul." The figure itself doesn't even look like either of those two things and looks more like a cross between Dark Helmet and Cobra Commander. Also I love that the backing looks like an ad for a lawyer cause it just doesn't go with the figure at all. But those are nothing compared to the next two.

This one has to be a joke because I laughed so f#cking hard when I saw this. C-3P-Ho. How do you come up with this sh!t. It's literally C3-P0 with Leia's hair buns and boobs. So what can top that?

Behold the weirdest bootleg, Pre-Osteoporosis Yoda. So let's break this down, the figure is a tall Yoda however his arms unfortunately are still the same size. The packaging looks like it was drawn in crayon and it depicts a carton of blue milk and a picture of Yoda like this is a "Got Milk?" ad. I guess this is saying the Yoda we know from Star Wars is short because he has Osteoporosis because he didn't drink enough milk...this is a masterpiece. Anyway that's all I got today but before I go I'm going to show you some cool looking bootlegs of some Fnaf Animatronics. Maybe I'll do another one of these one day.
