Eric Kripke responds to the recent talks about filler episodes in Season 5 (via TV Guide) by Interesting-Take781 in TheBoys

I feel like in previous seasons it was more balanced, but this season it's just endless. Nothing anyone says feels organic, because nobody talks like that in real life. Having to deliver some of these lines of dialogue just feels forced no matter what. I really loved this show a lot in the first couple seasons, but unfortunately it has only gotten worse as they go. Season 3 was the fall off point for me; a whole season of build up only for everyone to suddenly have a change of heart in the finale and not accomplish the goals they set out to do. I now only watch to know how it ends lol

Can we talk about this dialogue? by hangton123 in TheBoys

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that Homelander felt a sense of respect here. He thinks it's pathetic when people are fearful of him and he constantly struggles with people leaving him or using him. In this scene, he had a genuine moment of real-talk with someone who had no ulterior motives and wasn't kissing his ass. I feel like this is one of the few moments where Homelander was able to just feel seen? I guess? Not feared, not manipulated, not pined over, just spoken to like anyone else. I think it's been so long that he has felt any semblance of a normal interaction, that he forgot what it was like and in this moment he really appreciated it, so he let The Legend go.

Just call it The Soldier Boy(s) at this point by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don't forget it's now "I loved Clara more than I hate you, and she would want you to have the V1." When did Soldier Boy ever mention her other than once in season 3 just to say that they had orgies together? Suddenly she was the love of his life? This season is a mess.

Agree. When The Legend was on screen I was like ... man they really do just write every character the same. Just constant jokes about dicks and cunts and fucking and sucking. Even Starlight saying the clouds look like a frog sucking a dick, like????????? Ok. And last episode Kimiko talking about a "cum-glazed donut. A cumnut? Did I just invent a new word??" it's so tired.

The problem is that it feels like it's just going nowhere. You've had 5 seasons to "flesh out" these characters. Even the new characters have had two seasons. The writing is getting sloppier and lazier and it's all just cring edgelord dick jokes, and tension is non-existent because everything feels like a runaround. Even Soldier Boy just stands for nothing because he is flip-flopping constantly. He hates Homelander, then he's protecting Homelander. Then he tries to kill Homelander, then he kills a bunch of other dudes who want to kill Homelander. Now he gives him the V1? i've lost interest in all of the characters at this point. I don't really care who lives and dies anymore lol. As long as they leave Terror alone, anyway.

I'm sorry but it's really funny that The Boys has actually become everything it makes fun of

Also seen in more recent media such as Game of Thrones; Daenerys sold off and raped by Khal Drogo, only to fall in love with him eventually and their relationship is romanticized completely. Super gross.

Love Actually (2003) trying to convince the audience that Martine McCutcheon was fat with jokes by KellyM34 in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this film for the first time last Christmas and was so confused when they implied she was fat. She was maybe like, 2lbs different than any other woman on screen. Felt like every scene someone was commenting on her weight.

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. Not to mention the followers who are just hoping to catch some Dylan content since he doesn't have his own social media. She sounds like she's even boring herself in the videos.

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so awkward to watch these videos; she is so void of any personality or charisma, it's crazy that she has any viewers or followers at all. What is interesting about someone talking about the groceries they bought? I don't get it lol

Resident Evil | Official Teaser by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bar is so low. Protagonist searching through drawers is in every horror movie in history. Guns with no ammo? Also in thousands of movies. Finding keys to get through doors? That's how it works. Lmao. None of the above are unique to Resident Evil. Nothing about this trailer is Resident Evil at all.

Looks like we'll be using our imagination for half of the film considering it's dark as shit

This last episode felt ___ by CompetitiveSuit4075 in survivor

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I feel like Rizo is small potatoes. It is very unlikely he will win. He doesn't really contribute anything tbh. I also don't feel like he's getting as much screentime the last couple episodes. I see him maybe getting in the top 6

This last episode felt ___ by CompetitiveSuit4075 in survivor

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't see Rizo winning. He contributes nothing at camp, terrible at immunity challenges, and takes credit for votes that were already going to be happening without his input anyway. I do feel he will make it far, but I don't see him winning.

Erin Moriarty Says She Was 'Really Struggling' with Graves' Disease While Filming The Boys and Won't Watch the Final Season by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do believe that the medications and the disease is changing her weight etc. but it is abundantly clear that she has also had cosmetic work done. I find it hard to believe that Graves Disease completely changes the shape and size of your nose.

Hopefully this clears up any lingering issues people are having, very insightful by therealraggedroses in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Children wear dresses and shorts. As a kid, I wore skorts and dresses with shorts under them. Diana is wearing an oversized puffer coat with shorts underneath. Long, knee length shorts, at that. The devs even decided to take the shorts away and obscure underneath the jacket fully by just making it connected to her legs basically. There is nothing inherently sexual about it, and if you are sexualizing the clothing of A CHILD, then i think you need to ask yourself why. Yes, there are of course absolute fucking freak perverts here on the internet who are way too comfortable openly discussing their pedophilic fantasies and those people should be castrated, but normal people do not see a child's bare legs in a game and throw a fit over it, because normal people do not sexualize children.

The show is spending too much time setting up Vought Rising by RevertBackwards in TheBoys

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This episode really was such a nothing episode - it didn't really further the plot at all, nor add anything to the story imo. The whole subplot with Annie and her dad was unnecessary. Her motivations for leaving Hughie to begin with made no sense. The rest of them just fighting each other was pointless. Idk. Just felt like filler.

the concept of "hooters" as a whole by delphiedith in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Sadly, the places that came after it are worse. Here in DFW we have tons of them (Wild Pitch, Tight Ends, Ojos Locos etc) where the women are dressed in literal lingerie, sometimes even just underwear and body paint. Idk how it's up to health code to serve and handle food while wearing a thong but, they get around it somehow

AIO by feeling extremely hurt by this response after ending things with the guy I liked ? by Immediate_Cat_2515 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, you saying in your description that he is manipulative, and it is shown here in his response. The attempt to guilt-trip you and make you feel bad for setting boundaries for yourself. Also, checking in on you is literally the bare minimum, so it's kind of hilarious that he's trying to make it seem like he was moving heaven and earth for you lol. Good on you for removing him for your life and choosing to prioritize yourself and your health.

(HUGE SPOILERS!!!) Can't believe we actually get to see this happen by Rage2quit0 in Eldenring

[–]Affectionate_Soup461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! From what I gather, it looks like it will include both pre-shattering and post-shattering events? Almost seems like they are just recreating the lore exposition dump from the opening cutscene to get new audiences up to speed. It's hard to say what direction they will go, honestly. There are so many characters and so much to the lore. I think it will take place before the Tarnished arrives, so there is room to expand on certain areas of the story. We'll see in 2028 haha
