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...
Before reading the manga I was able to watch the movies and the anime. The 1995 movie has always stuck in my mind from the moment I saw it until I got to see it again recently. Seeing the anime as a slightly more mature person really made me appreciate the chosen scenes of the anime. Since the anime goes into a more detailed version of a season compared to the manga it brings a whole new perspective on that once scene. For instance the garbage truck scene. In the manga that scene is wrapped up in a few pages the anime gives just about twenty minutes out of the whole hour and 30 mins of the movie to that small scene. Of course up until that part in the manga it had pages and pages of space to explain its world and mechanics to the reader. I don't think they could have picked a better introduction scene for the movie to help explain how the world works. Most times without many words and just actions it describes the complexity of the ghost system and how similar it is t...
