The Killing Joke - 1. What is your reaction to the text you just read? I know little to nothing about the Marvel/DC superhero universes. I've truly only seen the Tobey Maguire spiderman series on top of random movies here and there. I've also watched Joker 2019. So Joker 2019/Spiderman are the only ones i have any relatively good knowledge of. I feel like both of these pieces of media both go into the reasons as to why they are who they are. The comic goes into more detail since it doesn't have any major restrictions. You almost start to feel bad for the Joker since he was created when he was the most mentaly broken. His wife dies with a baby randomly, the mob tricks him then he falls into radioactive goop that permanently deforms him all in an afternoon. This shift within the batman universe has definitely helped give depth to these normally good or bad heroes especially in this time period. But even with these good bits there is a lot of bad as well. 2. What...
Diary of a Dominatrix by Molly Kiely has to be the strangest but the most informational piece i've read so far. I should have expected this to be detailed but i wasn't expecting what i've read. I wish i could just be like “oh yes i'll use this information in daily life” but i'm not that extra. Something that was a lot of fun to do was show this to my friends. I loved seeing their reactions that couldn't stay hidden behind a mask. Especially the ball stretcher! I was really laughing at how they ran away holding their crotches. Leading back to the comic story itself, it was a really relaxed way of describing how to be a dominatrix. Since there is normally such a stigma of women being in positions of dominance over men it was a great read to see how casually Molly talks about her experience/what to do. She is taking a big step to normalise what she does and I think it's definitely paid off. It's definitely way more accepted as well as the techniques have up...
This week I've read Lone wolf and cub by writer Kazuo Koike and artist Goseki Kojima . I've constantly seen this manga being recommended to me by many but had never had the chance to read it myself. I normally would like the stories of older men taking care of children and adventuring around. Lone wolf and cub are just like that storyline and I liked it a lot. Normally the child is a tenager and helps with the fighting in a large way. But this one Daigoro, the child, is one years old. I Loved how the one year old would pee on someone to start a duel. Or him throwing a coin at the women fighter to distacter her while Ogami fights. It's such a cute dynamic. I enjoy seeing little Daigoro and what small action he will do to help his father. Now the father or Ogami Itto. Ogami used to be the Kaishakunin of the person who enforces the will of the shogun. I didn't know the details about the details of what a kaishakunin position was before reading into this flashback arc. I...
