On today's episode of I Work In A Comic Shop:
So on Sundays, I run D&D games for kids (ages ranging about 6-16). It's fun, we goof around a lot and I let them get away with most things in-game as long as they can semi-reasonably justify how it'd happen.
And something I do often, when the kids start looking for every single detail about NPC #4534 because they've decided he's Very Very Important™️, is to just stick in a reference to some random movie. (For example: "This townsperson's name is Billiam S. Preston Esquire, and his buddy Teddy Bear Logan is missing! If he doesn't return soon, then Wyld Stallyns will lose their concert gig at the local tavern!") If the kids get it, it's a fun easter egg, and if they don't, then at least I didn't have to come up with a fantasy name on the spot.
My latest adventure involved a battle with a gang of skeletons, after which their scattered bones start wriggling towards the source of the dark magic that animated them in the first place.
And I'm struck with what I consider to be a bit of brilliance.
So, we're playing, and we reach the end of the battle. I explain that the bones are all moving eastwards, and then I add:
"You're reminded of the legend of old, of the great adventurer Hiro and his mighty companion Baymax, who tracked a pack of magical nanobots to their evil master using a single hostage bot."
Now the table erupts in laughter, and I'm feeling pretty good. But then we realize that the youngest of our party (an 8-year-old) looks confused at what's so funny. He doesn't get the reference.
I'm naturally surprised - this is a well-known Disney movie, I figure pretty much all the kids know it. But apparently he hasn't seen it. And so I quickly google the release date of Big Hero Six.
It is 2014. Nine years ago. In other words, the movie is older than this kid. And I am immediately hit by the passage of time like a truck.

Saved the best for last =) Last comic of my LA Trip and the highlight of my trip was meeting Baymax! I waited 9 years (since seeing Big Hero 6) to hug one in real life. It was definitely worth it. Baymax was also the reason why I studied computer science but that might be a story for another time haha. Comics will now be back on a regular schedule every Friday morning! Thanks for reading <3

Maybe don’t make Baymax swear next time, Hiro…
(This is separate from the Doctor Hamada saga, maybe, I think)
Hey, you! If you like my art, consider following me! You’ll get to see all my art and the eventual Dr. Hamada Manga/comic!

A better Healthcare companion!
Part 4 of 6 of my Big Hero 6 collection is Baymax, the medical muscle. After patrolling the skies of San Fransokyo, here he is touching down to save the day. Whether it be rescuing injured civilians from a collapsed building after an earthquake or stopping armed robbers from fleeing the scene. He’s already help those in need of it. Enjoy!

There’s something funny about America making a BH6TS manga while Japan made a BH6TS comic.
This comic released back in August 2022 and I still have no idea what it’s about exactly, because I don’t understand Japanese, but the artwork in it alone made it worth the purchase (and MILES better than whatever tf IDW was doing...)

Okay but consider
Batman x Big Hero 6 crossover
Hiro Hamada is an orphan, with black hair, is a hero, slightly unchecked rage, and is a literal genius
Give him blue eyes and he is the perfect Bruce Wayne adoption bait

Me base en un vídeo de un Tik-Toker que hizo este escuadrón suicida versión Disney.

Been rewatching Baymax! clips of the marshmallow doctor being the best, and I have come to a conclusion. Forget Batman. Forget the Batfamily. Forget the GCPD. What Gotham City needs to permanently stop its supervillains is Baymax being let into Arkham Asylum and given free reign. He’d rehabilitate all the redeemable supervillains. They get violent? He has medical supplies and armour to protect himself at the ready. They break out and start committing crimes? He relentlessly pursues them until they’re in a safe, secure environment conducive to their recovery, while taking care to not endanger anyone.
And as for those like the Joker who really are beyond help, you know, I don’t think it’s ever stated or shown that he has an ethical issue with killing itself; when he protests Hiro using his to kill Callahan it’s because he understands it would be bad for Hiro’s mental health. His moral code is entirely based on what helps and harms his patients. The fighting/violence chip coexists with the healthcare chip. Theoretically, if letting one person die was beneficial to the physical and mental health of literally everyone else…
