#godzilla mendoza

[deacblues]

seeing people’s spider-man cosplay suits makes me want to try and make one. i did it once in my final year of high school, based on godzilla mendoza’s all-time classic tutorial, but i want to try making one from scratch. like, making your own shirt/pants/etc. from a pattern. it’d be really awesome to have a bunch of separated pieces!

back in the day, i remember people would use snaps sewed into the suit, so you could hook/unhook the different pieces. i think that these days, people sew big bands of elastic into the connected pieces in addition to snaps, so i could try that too. i think using the elastic makes the costume look a little less seamless, though.

i’m a little worried about drawing the webs onto the costume. i try to avoid puff paint, because while it can lead to some pretty satisfying results, it’s not really comic accurate. (since when do spider-man’s webs stick out from his suit?) i used a sharpie back in high school, but the lines were pretty messy, and i just kind of drew them on while i was wearing the suit.

been thinking about fabrics, too. i could try to use a nice blue velvet (catchy tune) for the blue parts of the suit. gives it a nice vintage feel, and replicates the implied shininess it has in the early ditko incarnation. here are some examples, but i’d probably go for a more saturated blue. one of those examples is from spider-man lotus... man, can’t believe that whole thing went down a year ago.

the only issue is that i don’t actually know how to sew. but i could learn! i learned in my first year of high school yk, i just forgot a few months later.

Maybe if Tempest Monroe appears in Beyond the Spider-verse, the writing staff might improve her characterization like they did with Miles Morales in the first film (as argued by video essayist Godzilla Mendoza).

that would be cool! idk i just really felt like in the comics her character just existed to be a love interest that things happen to... i wouldve liked if we actually got to see into her mind/what she thinks of stuff more

(also, personally i would prefer for xina to appear over tempest lol)

[plum-pitt]

oooo, figured i’d reblog bc i think alot of these r really interesting! side note: won’t be commenting on versions i haven’t watched/read, or the ones i just.. don’t have much of anything to say about. I put these in numbered order matching with which take im responding to, if a number is skipped then it’s corresponding take is one i didn’t feel the need to comment on.

1: Yes and No on 2012 April. I think she’s definitely over hated by a fanbase that hyper-dramatizes how “awful” she is (i feel like how people tend to look at Donnie as a victim and make excuses for his weird behavior by making her look worse by comparison def feeds into this, at least from the discourse i’ve witnessed personally) I think she’s got some interesting ideas behind her, like having the kraang dna, but i just don’t think she has a super strong identity to me, like she feels more like a plot device and eye candy for Donnie and Casey to fist fight over than an actual character. Just an unfortunate byproduct of male writers who haven’t yet learned that objectifying women is wrong.

2: Eh, I kinda agree with this one too. I feel like he could’ve been INFINITELY better if we just got more time with the guy and got to see more of his personality shine through outside of the consistent crisis-mode the plot necessitated. His design totally fucks tho, the mask with Leo’s markings, the chainsaw hockey stick? Straight HEAT.

4: Valid, but also I think in some instances (importantly ones where they’re the same age) Casey and Raph can be a cute lil combo. But only on occasion, sometimes the vibes are there but sometimes they’re not.

5: I FEEL THIS SO HARD. She’s so intriguing but her arc is so infuriatingly paced that it makes me want to pull my hair out. I couldn’t even put to words why i hated it until i saw a video by godzilla mendoza that laid out the show’s overall pacing problem by using her arc as an example, showing EXACTLY how long everything took and how often they’d dangle development in front of the viewer just to rip it away with some contrived bs so they don’t have to commit to a status quo shift.

6: Eh it’s alright but yea definitely overdone at this point. I like that they give eachother shit all the time and have this cautious nerd vs. reckless jackass dynamic going on but i hate that so much of their onscreen interaction and most of their rivalry just comes from both of them wanting to get with April.

7: I agree, but i think the reason is that Mikey just didn’t get nearly enough focus in Rise to properly stand out. I really liked what little we got of him and think they definitely could’ve taken what we see in the show to some really cool places if given the proper time to flesh them out, but it just never came to be which is a damn shame.

8: BASED. I’m so fucking sick of April being shipped with the turtles you have NO IDEA BRO😭😭😭 It’s never once been done well imo, Mutant Mayhem was definitely the least egregious but i have this sinking feeling in my stomach that this might change with the series coming up soon. I feel like this franchise as a whole can do without shipping for the turtles, at least in the canon source material. Fanworks can go crazy, more power to em, but i feel like most of the romantic relationships we’ve seen attempted across the franchise proper have just never quite stuck the landing, and at least for me that can really bring down my enjoyment of a show.

9: Also based as fuck, 80’s shredder is so funny I love him and his dynamic with Kraang.

12: I agree! I think it’s a super fucking cool idea to have Casey start out as a cop. Then some inciting incident could happen that maybe exposes some corruption or something to make him realize that operating inside that system is not what he thought it would be, and that if he wants justice to truly be served he needs to take it into his own hands, thus becoming a vigilante. But hooooooly shit did they do this concept dirty. His casting is a big factor here too, no offense to that actor but he just did not fit this character well at all, and his writing was abysmal.

14: I actually do kinda feel this. It’s like you’ve got the other 3 turtles of mildly varying size and builds, and then Raph, who’s just this absolute fucking behemoth. It’s not necessarily his size that’s the problem to me rather than how he looks grouped together with his siblings. I feel like it could’ve worked if they pushed the varying body types a bit more (maybe make mikey just like this teeny lil goblin, Donnie could be taller than raph since spiney softshells irl also get pretty big, but much slimmer by comparison, while Leo keeps a build closer to what we see in canon) Either level the playing field a bit by making Raph a lil smaller or go ALL IN on making them completely different body types from one another. As it stands the lineup is just a lil bit awkward to me.

15: I think the worst part about 2012 Mikey is that sometimes he’s shown to be incredibly competent and then the next he’s like “baby drinking the chemicals in the cabinet under the sink” levels of stupid. Like idk how i’m supposed to be attached to this guy when the writers can’t seem to decide what he even is. Him getting slapped around is definitely excessive, but also he’s an annoying jackass sometimes who needs to learn common sense, and i can’t say i wouldn’t be in the brother’s boat of just getting irritated with him if i was in their position a lot of the time.

16: ABSOLUTELY. The crossovers never do their individual characterization justice because they’d rather make the same “haha look at these dumb 80’s guys, they’re so incompetent and can’t take anything seriously” jokes every time. Just because their series of origin is lighthearted and they’re all capable of doing the funny doesn’t make them all the same character. You saw people making this exact same shitty ass argument when Rise first came out and people saw them all just having fun together and not taking a threat they did not know the magnitude of super seriously. It’s an argument so clearly born of ignorance i feel stupid even dignifying it with a response. The only reason anyone would make this argument is if they just haven’t watched the show.

17: I actually really like them together in 2003, i think their slow burn development is a super fun little side plot to follow that ends really cathartically. Otherwise, 2012 was ass for obvious reasons, I think Rise!April getting with Cassandra is a pretty cool idea, aaaaaaand well the others i just don’t have any strong opinions about. I think they’re pretty boring most of the time but when done right they can be super cute.

18: I feel like a lot of Mikey’s i can see totally vibin with just having a bunch of friends. Like I wouldn’t go as far as saying I think he’s aromantic necessarily, but i don’t see him as being the kind of guy who feels like he needs a romantic connection to be happy. So long as he’s got his buds in the blunt rotation, my guy is perfectly content in life.

19: Based, people using her actions under MIND CONTROL to justify not liking April is yet another example of people bending over backwards to make her look like a bad person when- she’s really not? Like i personally find her a bit irritating but even i can point out that a lot of the criticism made against her are hypocritical at best and downright bad faith at worst.

20: I honestly can’t say i have a favorite canon ship in for this franchise, it’s not really what i come to it for in the first place, but i can see the appeal of Raph and Mona, even if there’s a couple elements of it i’d personally tweak.

Some of My TMNT Hot Takes 🔥

Warning: Opinions

2012 April was a good character and a fun version/take on April. Y’all are just mean.

Casey Jr. in the Rise movie was a bland and uninteresting character. He did not feel like/deserve to be called a “Casey Jones”.

Jennika in IDW, while a cool concept/character, is overused/overrated.

I don’t like shipping Raph (any version) with human characters. I prefer him dating other mutants or aliens.

2012 Karai is the best/most interesting version of Karai, but she’s also one of the most irritating recurring characters in 2012. I love and hate her.

Jonatello in 2012 is overrated as hell.

Rise Mikey is very forgettable (to me).

April needs to stop being shipped with the Turtles and being their love interest.

87 Shredder is the BEST version of Shredder!

I liked the Irma being a robot twist in 2012. It was an injustice to the Irma character but it was still shocking, and I do like her kinda return as Rook, so there’s some credit to that.

2007 Splinter was a bad dad.

Casey being a cop in the bayverse movies was an interesting take that could’ve worked for his backstory of becoming a vigilante, but it was executed poorly.

IDW Donnie x Mona Lisa is stupid and a completely pointless ship to include in the comics. It feels very forced.

Rise Raph is too big. That, or the other characters are too small. Either way, while I like Rise Raph, his design feels off sometimes.

2012 Mikey is actually annoying and often deserves to be scolded by his brothers for doing dumb immature shit. He’s 15, not 5, he should know better.

The 87 Turtles DO have individual and unique personalities, that includes 87 Leo!

Capril is not a good ship, but I’d still much rather ship April with Casey than with any of the Turtles.

While I love 2012 Renetangelo and 87 Kalangelo, Mikey is the one Turtle that I don’t think needs a love interest. I’d much rather see him be single.

If you’re mad at/hate 2012 April for “killing Donnie” when being possessed in that one episode, but don’t feel the same towards Raph, Karai, Slash and Rockwell for torturing/hurting their friends/family when brainwashed, the you’re a massive hypocrite.

Raph x Mona Lisa in 2012 is the BEST TMNT ship that came out of the four TMNT franchises that Nickelodeon has made. Maybe even the best overall couple in all of TMNT.

Okay, I agree with a lot of this video except for how harsh he was on MCU Peter. I always saw Peter as a mix of 616 peter and 1610 Miles. Peter originally did want to join the avengers but his journey through homecoming has him become the "lone wolf" that can do team-ups here and there. I feel like so many people just focus on that and not the actual ending of the film and how "far from home" is going to be the next step in this development and so on. It gets me angry when fans say "Peter and May don't care that uncle ben is dead" just because Peter and May aren't constantly grieving: twitter.com/hayley5662/status/… Then there's those assholes that say "You only like homecoming and mcu spidey because the actor is likable." and how "The raimi/webb movies are better!" or even call you racist for liking the mcu spidey and ugh! Fandoms suck so much. Also, the young aunt may thing being another thing used from Miles always bothered me. Marisa Tomei is over 50 years old and it makes sense that Peter would have an aunt around that age. It always kind of bothered me how Peter's aunt and uncle were in their 80's and made me wonder what kind of age gap was between Richard and Ben Parker. I know I'm the only one who feels that way though. Also, why do people think Peter is living in middle class? He's had to move THREE times with his room getting smaller and smaller and had to dumpster dive for 80's and 90's tech to make his webshooters. I'm not going to deny that they took elements from Miles like Ganke but come on, people. MCU Peter Parker is a great character. He's shown his vulnerabilities but manages to find strength through them. He's shown compassion, even to those who've hurt him. He cares about his community and will stop to do what's right, even if it's inconvenient for him. He's what I love about the character. sorry for the mcu spidey rant. This video shows exactly why the movie version of Miles is better than his comic counterpart in every way and I've never loved this character more than now. I feel like Bendis never did anything with Miles that was unique or interesting and he just sucks at writing legacy characters. Look at Riri Williams when Bendis wrote her and compare her to how she's written now. Bendis has good ideas but wastes all the potential they could have. This video is the best at explaining why.

EDIT/UPDATE: I actually talked with godzillamendoza on twitter and he told me that he didn't mean to come off as harsh on MCU peter and that he never thought he was a bad character. tbh the mcu rant wasn't really targeted towards him and more towards some asshats that I've dealt with online.

You know, everyone always answers the question of “who would you like to be friends with?” or “what person would you like to meet?” with big celebrities and Youtuber’s, but I would honestly love to be friends with, or at least know/get to talk to, a small Youtuber called Godzilla Mendoza. I mean, I started watching his videos a few months ago and he’s already my favourite on the website. We share a lot of things income and have similar interests, but not to a point that we are too alike. I feel like I would love to have a conversation with him about...well anything.

And if you haven’t watched him and love comics you’ll love his channel, I highly recommend watching him

[hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger]

What are your thoughts on the youtuber Godzilla Mendoza? He covers comics but his main focus is Spiderman and Deadpool. I agree with some of his takes others not as much.

He’s good but i don’t agree with everything he says and I think it’s coloured by his nostalgia to a certain extent. I remember once he expressed praise for 2006 era Marvel but I lived through that as a teen and I remember how Bendis et al were deconstructing the universe

New Year means change

I've had Tumblr for I think a year and I haven't really figured out what to post, until now. I know my name is Orion's Comics, but my Tumblr posts are going to be poems and thoughts about stuff in my life. I remembered Godzilla Mendoza did this type of thing, so I'll give it a shot. I graduated high school, Christmas is over, and a new year is right around the corner. My goal for next year is to be more confident. I'm a very shy and awkward person. I often fumble on my words and apologize too much. I tend to put more into my friendships than I get out of them. Sometimes I really want to talk to someone, so I'll text them, but they don't respond and I get anxious. I focus on the little details. This year I'm just going to relax. I'm not going to stress about friends or anything. Everything will work out. Speaking of the New Year though, let's hope the next one is better than this one. It was rough having Stan Lee and Stephen Hillenburg both die this year, but at least they're in a better place. Have a happy New Year folks.
