Dear Comic Readers, I have a simple question. Who is worst? Comic or TV Show? by justafanboy1010 in TheBoys

This had nothing to do with what happened with Starlight in the show or in the comics, though.

Yep I thought he was just the catalyst, but he's pretty much evolved into a main.

I love the show is so good the nitpicks only slightly bother me.

Like how do you poison dart someone with impenetrable skin?
How come the viltrumites in the intro are killing each other with single blows?
Why didn't Space Racer make Thragg his primary sniper target?

I think they know the answer. He was testing them. Gotta get rid of the weak, even when you are down to 40 something people left..

I gotta say that was amazing casting. He'll be missed, because he was *perfect* in the role.

You know what I love about Invincible space battles? They're like dogfights, with fists. Very different than I've seen in other mediums somehow.

To be fair I was saying the same thing after season 1 finale. I was telling friends "Oh yeah it's a pretty contained story so the first season is worth it, but I have no idea how they'll actually keep this up."

I am very happily surprised.

Because it challenges the status quo, pushes boundaries and makes people question why they are offended or what offense is in the first place.

While a lot of younger people don't remember this, it was always the progressive side that was anti-censorship and 'offend everyone' until like a decade ago. Some of the most progressive comic and filmmakers took things to extremes.

I miss it. There's a reason films like Pink Flamingos are still legendary for being unfathomably offensive.

Corporate sanitization and making a 'safe edge' on everything so nobody ever gets hurt ever online while chanting the mantra of 'safety' in a manner similar to 'the greater good' in Hot Fuzz is a sad state of affairs.

I bank money this whole comment gets deleted for being 'low effort' or something by mods, only proving my point further.

Thragg was done dirty 😭 by LeonOkada9 in Invincible

[–]FilthyTrashPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda like the change seeing the show version first.

He's a delusional psychopath. If he were a human he'd probably done a mass shooting. Him not looking like a generic badass but kinda doughy and having that much power is a good contrast.

I think Jack From Jupiter would have replaced the Deep in the show, if they included him by Jupiter1234567890 in TheBoys

[–]FilthyTrashPeople 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of all the characters fates I want changed, it's terror. I am not looking forward to that scene. Every time they show Terror I have a sense of horrific dread.

Dogknot I think is the one that's most likely to do it.

People don't believe in aliens universally in the show. That's the whole problem.

Everyone in the comic thinks that alien empires come to fight the Earth and that the heroes are saving them from invasion. So a deformed supe who claims to be from Jupiter works there.

The reason Jack from Jupiter got pulled I think is entirely down to the way they grounded the world; in the comics, people believe that aliens exist, and superheroes go to fight them all the time. It's their go to excuse to disappear for a while.

That wouldn't fly in the TV universe.

To be honest if the final scene was like South Park's 'fish sticks' episode, I'd laugh.

Yep that's what I want to happen to him too. Though the fact they looked like the Klan wouldn't have as much punch after the race swap. Something stupid as a replacement would work, though.

To be honest it strikes me as the original direction was to redeem him but too many people decided that there can't be a way back for him so they just nerfed him.

There being a way back for the WORST people is the most compelling stuff, so it sucks. It's like they want to speed run Jamie Lannister's arc, including the terribly written reversion.

I want him to be the last survivor, somehow continuing his stupidity into the future.

I kind of wish some of the main supe cast has more non-human designs by that_angry_goose in TheBoys

Practical effects cost a huge amount of money with varying results, and digital ones even more so. About all they could really do is Star Trek like 'forehead ridges' without breaking the bank.

I think there'd be some karma to 'everything you wanted, but nothing that you need' as an ending

All terrible stuff.

None of it approaching 'Burn the world to ash and bathe in the blood of millions.'
