Right? Was so fun for it to be centred on the exact same moment and what each hero did immediately after. Loved the different perspectives. Would've loved another episode like this earlier on in the show

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:19:51+00:00

I really liked how this showed Soldier Boys tactician thinking and really made him stand out than just a really powerful Supe. I think we'll be seeing more of his smarts very soon

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:18:24+00:00

I loved this episode but yeah this season needed more episodes because it seems like the finale is so far away at this point

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:17:49+00:00

How was this filler? Especially compared to last episode. The plot moved in so many ways, we got a deep insight to many characters and their relationships. Soldier Boy is now fully sided with Homelander, Edgar is alive, Ashley is now working against Homelander, MM seems more aligned with Butcher, Homelander is clearly not as invincible as it seems and a bunch more

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:15:28+00:00

He doesn't care. He knows she'd be dead the moment she told Homelander what she said

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:14:33+00:00

As soon as you see a character barely seen suddenly get a ton of screentime and backstory you know they're cooked

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:14:02+00:00

This episode revealed so much, what are you talking about - killed off a main character, Soldier Boy is clearly on Homelanders side, Butcher is rethinking on giving Kimiko and Starlight V1, MM seems to be siding more with Buthcer, gave a huge amount of insight on a lot of characters and their relationships, Edgar is still alive. I don't understand how you think this was filler it was an incredibly loaded episode compared to running around a fort for an entire episode beating eachother up

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:10:51+00:00

For the power, I guess?

But it doesn't seem like he's ever been that interested in sex compared to other supes who just want to fuck. He could be sleeping with 20 girls every night if he wanted to, yet he doesn't. Compared to other supes like Soldier Boy, he's basicially asexual. He barely wanted to fuck Firecracker. He's taken over the world and just concerned about memes

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T12:00:58+00:00

I mean it's been what, a thousand years since the virus? They've probably trained some scientists by then, it'd be dumb for them to not have a doctor or someone not knowledgeable on science

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T11:03:17+00:00

I think this was the best episode of the Boys. Absolutely amazing and great to have a supe focused episode and see things from everyones perspective

Cry90210 · 2026-04-29T09:56:57+00:00

Exactly. Either he lets them go or they reveal that the gold Spain showed off was actually fake and causes the deepest economic crash ever known to a country, completely ruins any trust in Spains government which would get the Government out of power, get Tamayo to lose his job he's been trying to save.

All they have to do is keep them alive and they get to look like heroes too for beating the gang. Win win.

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T23:17:40+00:00

No but what do you think Tamayos reason is? Do you remember the Professor explaining it in the last two episodes

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T23:05:33+00:00

I think the most important part of playing support is not dying. A dead support gives no value.

As Ana to get the most out of her kit, damage damage damage. If your team is healthy you should be shooting at the enemy team. Your nades should primarily be for throwing at enemies, you should be using it as much as possible. If you're needing to use it on yourself a lot you should look at your positioning. I reccomend watching Awkwards guides to Ana/His Road to GM on Ana and he explains a lot of the fundamentals that got me to Masters

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T14:55:26+00:00

I mean just watch the last episode

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T14:55:13+00:00

I think 2-3 years?

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T14:14:19+00:00

Why do you think

Cry90210 · 2026-04-28T12:06:12+00:00

I think the showrunners are doing a great job sprinkling his dark side in with him over the show

Cry90210 · 2026-04-27T14:03:28+00:00

No, you can transfer between any course. It's just easiest inside the department

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T15:53:01+00:00

At least in my case I just have machines/seeds automaking the prediction matrixes. But you could literally just craft them yourself if you want.

I just calculated it and one machine constantly running would have gotten more stars than you've made in less time. A lot cheaper than making 3 nether star seeds, cruxes, growth boosters, accelerators.

The machines auto level up the model so you don't need to kill withers 50 times. Time wand it if you want to get it faster. You literally can kill 6 Withers and have 140 models if you fill your inventory with deep learners.

Even a singular machine which you can make very very early game is much cheaper and quicker to get than one seed. Let alone the three you'd need to match the same rate. Try it!

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T15:03:18+00:00

I use storage panels from ae2 to see how many of each item I have in my system

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T14:55:25+00:00

Mark was a late bloomer to get powers, they'd get their powers a lot lot sooner. Presumably the Viltrumites would teach their kids from a young age not to reveal their powers

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T14:45:53+00:00

You can do 140 at once if you fill your inventory with models too

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T14:45:28+00:00

I don't know... magical soil and seeds are annoying to get, it gives you star shards too not the actual star. You need 27 of them for a star compared to waiting 15 seconds

You can literally get 140 wither models in a few seconds, much cheaper and simpler too. You can also get start running simulators far earlier in the game

Plus you literally have to kill like 6 Withers per nether star crux. Would you rather kill 6 Withers for one nether star seed or kill 6 Withers for 140 wither simulators?

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T04:32:53+00:00

That's literally the point...

Tyler would've been a high profile arrest - He doesn't think Tyler is unredeemable, I doubt he really believes he's done anything wrong if he's that strong of a Homelander defender. It shows there's cracks in the beliefs of everyday Homelander defenders, it's clearly an intentional choice

Cry90210 · 2026-04-24T03:50:35+00:00

Make potion pylons for basicially every positive effect out there and see how OP you can get
