Today Jojo draws Captain Marvel!

All this week, I’ve been having Jojo draw Avengers who were not in the movie. Today we get Carol Danvers, formally Ms. Marvel and also formally Binary and Warbird.

Carol’s had a lot of ups and downs. She was created as the female version of the Kree super hero Captain Marvel, and she had a weird long sleeved shirt with no pants combo outfit. They she got her black swimsuit with long gloves and boots look. Then she caught on fire, and I don’t know what the deal was with her Warbird phase.

Also somewhere in there she got space pregnant with an alien space baby that grew up into the space rapist who got her pregnant in the first place (using time travel or something) and then she married him. All that happened.

But that’s behind us now! She’s Captain Marvel, she’s got a new comic coming out soon, and she’s got a brand new costume! I showed Jojo her new costume a few weeks ago. Let’s see if she remembered it.

NOPE!

Well, I like Jojo’s take on her. The gloves are just about right but everything else is a Jojo original. That’s okay though. She looks strong, and it looks like Jojo remembered that she can fly. What more can we ask for?

All we can hope is that either her or Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, Black Panther or Wasp will be in Avengers 2. And they look a little like Jojo’s versions.

Today Jojo draws The Wasp!

I’ve been having Jojo draw Avengers who were not in the movie. As a founding Avenger, Wasp is the number one character I’d like to see in Avengers 2.

Of course Wasp has always gotten the short end of the super hero stick. She’s referred to as a founding Avenger now, but back in the 60s she didn’t get top billing on the cover and was only an honorary member, as Ant-Man’s sidekick. Plus, her blasts she shoots from her hands never do anything. I swear, every Wasp fight is her shooting someone with her blasts, it having no effect, and her saying, “Impossible! I’m hitting him with enough force to flatten a barn and it’s not even messing up his hair!” You know what would make that a lot more convincing? If we ever ONCE saw Wasp flatten a barn!!!!!

But I digress. Jojo’s take on the character is largely consistent with how she’s looked. She even got her 60s hair. She gave her a literal wasp body, which actually just gives her the weird broken spine women have in bad comic art.

I also like her “Wasp Stinger Harpoon” and feisty expression. Wasp doesn’t have a single iconic costume, so they should just have her look like this in the movie.

Today Jojo draws Black Panther.

This week I’m having Jojo draw Avengers that were not in the movie. Today we get a character that has a decent shot of showing up in some movie someday, since he’s one of Marvel’s most prominent black heroes.

I understand why Jojo gave him a full cat head, for a mask. It’s pretty much what she did with Hawkgirl. I also understand giving him a tail and I even kinda get why he’s shirtless with weird suspenders (alright, no I don’t). Near as I can tell Stan Lee and Jack Kirby themselves disagreed on whether to show his face or not, Jojo went with face.

I showed her a picture of what Black Panther is supposed to look like and she said, “Boring. He looks just like Batman.” I explained that Black Panther looks nothing like Batman because he doesn’t have a cape.

Also, here’s a picture of him with a cape.

Today Jojo draws Wonder Man!

This week I’m asking Jojo to draw Avengers who were not in the movie. I don’t know what I expected her to draw for Wonder Man. I should have expected this.

Wonder Man was an Avengers villain who joined the team (Avengers and Dragon Ball Z both feature a ton of reformed villains). There’s also a brother involved, and an android with his brain patterns… then he died and came back to life as an “ionic being”… or something.

I’ll always know him as the super hero movie star who hung out with Beast.

Anyway, Jojo didn’t know any of that and just drew him in Wonder Woman’s costume. Which is totally fair. Looking good Simon.

Today Jojo draws Scarlet Witch

This week I’m having Jojo draw Avengers who I’d like to see in Avengers 2.

First up is Scarlet Witch, Magneto’s daughter turned Avenger turned villain turned Avenger again turned villain again turned whatever she is now.

I didn’t expect Jojo to get Wanda’s weird headdress, and I figured she’d draw her more like a normal witch. I DID think she’d draw more red, but Jojo said in the movie they make them all wear black. I guess she has a point. She also gave her a beaker, to carry her witch’s brew around in.

The best part came when I told her that Scarlet Witch was Magneto’s daughter.

Me: Yeah, she fought the X-Men, then joined the Avengers.

Jojo: X-Men? Are the Avengers Marvel?

Me: Yeah. How could you not know that?

Jojo: I only know Who’s Marvel from Marvel vs. Capcom.

Me: But Captain America is in that.

Jojo: Oh yeah.

Today Jojo draws a comic based on Avengers.

I’ve been asking Jojo to draw Avenger stuff, which means it’s turned into “Jojo really, really, really, thinks Black Widow should fight with a bucket of spiders” Week. She’s very convinced that if you dumped a bucket of spiders on someone, they’d WISH they could fight hulk instead.

So now we see exactly how Jojo’s version of The Avengers would have played out. Much shorter. Many more spiders.

At least one bucket full of spiders.

Last week, Jojo watched Avengers with me. As far as I know, it’s the first time she ever watched a super hero movie all the way through (she fell asleep in the middle but it’s the best we’re going to get) and I’ve been really interested to know what she took away from it.

I haven’t been able to get much out of her. She just didn’t retain much of it. Jojo has an astounding ability to not remember anything that isn’t My Little Pony (she knows everything about My Little Pony). We didn’t post a drawing yesterday because we couldn’t think of what Avengers moment to draw.

So today Jojo recreates the scene from our lives, right after the movie. I was super pumped because Avengers was great and I asked her what she thought. She said, “I liked the train… and Captain America’s Butt. Then I fell asleep… then I woke up when Hulk turned back into a naked man. My naked man sense woke me up.”

Two things. I honestly don’t remember any scene with a train. And second, she said “my naked man sense.” That’s practically a Spider-Man reference! We’re getting through to her!

Also, if you’re wondering how accurate Jojo’s drawings of us are, let me just say that we look as much like that as Doctor Strange looks like this.

Today Jojo improves Black Widow.

Since I made Jojo watch Avengers last week, it gives us a rare opportunity to see what she took away from a super hero movie (she basically hadn’t seen any before this).

Regarding Black Widow, Jojo said, “She was cool but Thor had his hammer, Captain America had his shield, Hulk had being strong, but then she just reloads her tiny dumb guns.” Jojo felt she needed a weapon that tied into her name. I suggested a gun that fires spiders but Jojo one upped me.

She drew Black Widow carrying two giant buckets full of spiders. Her method of attack is to fling spiders at her enemies. Jojo explained, “If someone threw spiders at you, you’d stop what you were doing. You can’t take over the world if you’re covered in spiders.”

Jojo also says Black Widow eventually abandons the spider buckets because they are too heavy.

Today Jojo draws Captain America’s Butt.

I went to see Avengers at midnight last night, and I dragged Jojo with me! It took a lot of badgering and a big bottle of vodka, but she agreed to come to the movie.

I liked the movie a lot. without spoiling anything, I’ll just say it’s great and reminded me of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, in all good ways.

I asked Jojo what she liked about the movie and she said:

“Um… I think I fell asleep for a while. What was that cube and why did a man come out of it?

Oh wait, I liked Captain America’s butt. That was good.”

So now I present to you, Jojo watching the only part of Avengers that Jojo remembers or likes. Keep in mind, there’s vodka in that soda cup.

It is a very patriotic butt, I’ll give her that.
