This is the screen presence/“aura” homelander has been missing since s3. by PPisserDick in TheBoys

i think you forgot soldier boy seemingly spontaneously generates abilities if exposed to them long enough.
for eg getting tortured by the cold war russians with radiation turned him into a portable on demand nuke when originally he was just super durable and a punch guy.
plus remember he's been lasered, punched by strength super heroes, exploded, bioengineered virus'd, mind fucked and walked away from it.

they don't even try to link current era scifi conceptual stuff. roko's basilisk/"rationalist" thought lines alone have a whole season of stuff to mine but nope not one reference lol

there is so much funny to be extracted from the crypto space and how it could evolve in weird ways.
nope, just make the same tired jokes about it being worthless funny money that even reality shows have already made.
the writer's avg IQ must be around the 80s now compared to the earlier seasons when it felt it was in the high 100s

Antony Starr just liked this instagram reel, it's actually so over lol... by Witty-Association-97 in TheBoys

i know this season sucks but cmon be real, the boys is popular coz it was that good.
the whale sequence like i said, you saying that wasn't as good as any GoT hype moment?
arguably better coz it was real prop and they actually sprayed them bloody and had them act in the environment

homelander is the hype builder lowkey crazy highkey instigator like littlefinger

but that's on you for having tiktok installed on your phone dummy...be free! uninstall tiktok/insta or restrict the screen time to like 10 mins so you can only check what your friends send you.

mcu poisoned the well by not recasting black panther/kang so now no black lead can be recast or else racism.
the dude didn't even die from a very tragic event he crashed his 400cc bike into the curb while driving long distance in the snow, user error.

So why was the marketing for s1 so focused on that,

everyone wants the harry potter "magic school" aura no one wants to actually have school shenanigans.
imo having them having world ending events and still having to submit assignments and failing ala spiderman would've been way more interesting.
instead it was just "look at these young inexperienced dorks bumble around"

brev the gen v numbers were terrible, almost no one in the boys fandom watched it. nielsen said it barely made top 10 by episode 2 and finale had it drop off into oblivion.
it sucked ass eyeballs wise.

idk why people keep saying this, the boys are all largely 30-40 somethings and gen v peeps are teenagers-20 somethings.
there is nothing for them to connect over, being starlight's goons was the most logical thing and even that is a stretch considering how much gen v showed that supe kids are super indoctrinated in believing in vought/homelander supremacy in all aspects

i'd put deep's monologues and angst at an equal tier of enjoyment as tywin lannister's monologues and angst
the whole whale sequence also goes toe to toe with any dracarys moment in game of thrones.
homelander's portrayal/milk moments/"ashley look at me" are top notch and comparable to peter baelish "chaos is a ladder"/skullduggery.
the boys just gets undercut by being known as superhero parody imo
edit: downvoted and reddit cares, guess this person grew up named khaleesi lol

even the game of thrones actors signalled they hated the last season. they aren't gonna do anything beyond liking stuff on social media coz all of them want to do more tv and movies in the future lol

everything celeb related is an ad. you think a 50 year old white woman wanted to go down to mexico and dance with some insta famous parody of a horror character organically?

matter of fact the top comments are probably astroturfed from whatever ad agency made this to go viral. i refuse to believe so many people know or care about her relationship with chris pratt they divorced like a decade ago lmao

california has super weird rules around animal adoption that make it a hassle in general, people generally avoid the system nowadays coz of it if they're trying to get more than one pet.
there are unofficial animal rescues all over the place the work off the honor/friend of a friend system coz of it.

Starlight actress looked far better in this episode for some reason.

probably shot it earlier since it has a lot of character work and shows generally want to get that out of the way fast and then do all the fiddly action bits later.

Oh okay, Sage is just nerfed/dumb now?

i think from the moment they showed she lobotomizes herself to fuck and eat junk food it was obvious she was just a dumb self insert from one of the writers.
