    Comic Review for week of October 10 2018

     

    Notable mentions:

    • Captain Canuck First Summer Special – Printed the same month that I was born, this is a hilariously poorly printed and constructed book, there’s no set uniform for the Captain, the stories are jumpy, and there’s likely not a single page that was error free.  I loved this look into how poorly a book can be published and how quality control for both the character’s designs and print production go hand in hand in making a good comic book experience.
    • X-O Manowar #19 75th issue anniversary, which was shipped late by Diamond, a great story about picking up the pieces from the rushed and poorly executed “harbinger 2” mini series.  All the post-war stuff has been so much better than the actual mini series, I do wonder if that was intentional somewhat.  Also, the numbering shenanigans reminds me that it’s not just the big two that have problems with counting.

    I was without power for four days after Hurrican Michael and it just came back on, then off, then on, then off, then on, then off, then on again, and it’s been on ever since then.

    Holy Cow Iron Fist Has Been Cancelled By Netflix

    rkrofpgnxofvxyduopmx 500x281 Holy Cow, Iron Fist Has Been Cancelled By Netflix

    If you were one of the people incredibly excited by the possibilities left open at the end of Iron Fist season two, we have some very bad news. Netflix just cancelled the show, making it the first Marvel show to get the axe.

    Such a shame, the second season was so much better than the first one, I can only imagine how much better the third one would be. My only hope is that this makes way for a Daughters of the Dragon series that guest stars Danny Rand.

    Bratz

    High School is about to get a makeover when the highly popular dolls with a passion for fashion come to life in their first-ever live-action theatrical debut.

    I honestly cannot tell you why I chose this movie to try out the (new to me) Tubi app on my Roku, but this is the movie I chose and man am I happy I did.  Tubi itself is an ok service, but it has several of the problems that I associate with first generation streaming apps: weird movie choices, out of sync audio, ads that run at weird times (and 3 seconds of the previous scene being incorrectly chopped off, then plays after the ad), washed out images, and an UI that’s not terrible but not great.  I look forward to what they end up with in the future though, they seem to be moving the right direction.  One shockingly positive thing I noted was that they ran a commercial for a local mexican that I’ve been to many times, which was surprising on multiple levels, but it was great to see different ads every ad break and not the same one three times in a row.

    As for the movie itself, boy howdy was it a humdinger of an experience.  It’s the story of four freshmen in highschool being played by 18-20 year olds, which if you’ve ever met both a 14 year old and an 18 year old, there’s a world of difference, not that it matters in this case because they’re so excited to be a part of this new high school experience.  It’s never addressed, but the school they’re going to has security in nearly every scene, so I can only assume it’s a cesspool of dangerous criminals, something that’s further re-enforced by the thinly veiled Barbi stand in bully, who’s father is the principal of the school.  It’s later revealed that they live in a multistoried mansion on what I can only assume is an expansive piece of real estate, worth several million dollars.  How he affords all this on a high school principal salary can be explained partially by the amount of armed security on the campus, I’m pretty sure he’s getting some sizable kickbacks from the contractors handling the detail.  There’s some odd MTV participation, and while I see no indication they were actually involved in the creation of the movie itself, I guess it’s a buzzworthy name that’s easy to drop to highschoolers. Mixed in with all this is a weird child love story with a younger brother and a much much younger sister, all wrapped up with a song / music video that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie, either in tone or substance.

    This was not a good movie to me, a 38 year old white guy typing out movie reviews from the safety of his couch.
