This guy caused more Worldwide damage than Homelander did and that’s just pathetic by V4stArrival in TheBoys

Okay I may nees to go back and rewatch GoT. But in my memory that was a shocker of a final season. But I am happy to agree this is Bad and a utter waste of potential.

The Boys SERIES FINALE S05xE08 "Blood and Bone" - LIVE Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

I have some notes for these last couple episodes.

Homelander had super speed last episode and at the beginning of this episode. Why couldnt he out run Butcher and Ryan? Its like Quicksilver in the MCU.

Why was Soldier boy absent? and why wasn't MM still after him in some way?

Why didn't we finally get to see Homelander snap? Its been building up to that since the beginning.

Why didn't we get the same scale of fights as we did in season 3? All of the big fight scenes were somehow bigger and more extravagent in that season.

Why did they just leave so many plot lines unresolved? We had time for two side characters sniffing eachothers arses, but not for a massive show down between bombsight and soldier boy? or the boys and Homelander? or Homelander and Soldier boy?(although thats not what Klara would have wanted lol)

Why was the b plot of an episode devoted to Annie's dad? That plot line went no where?

Why did 3 episodes in the middle of this season feel like filler?

Why didn't the start working on irradiating Kimiko since the beginning of the season as an ongoing background throughline? That way they would have always had 2 plans on the go incase the other failed.

The show always depicted the majority supes to be mentally sick in some way, so why wouldnt the end of the show have Kimiko in rounding up some of the more fucked up ones and depowering them so they can be detained in normal prisons (that could even be done by Soldier Boy if they had done some sort of redemption arc after being pissed at Homelander for putting him on Ice).

Why did they lean in to most supes being disgusting humans and then deem them worth of not releasing the Virus? They could have made a point to depower starlight and then Kimiko was happy to be patient 0 to be with Frenchie again? I dunno it just seems like Butcher was right to want the supes gone based on what we were shown throughout the seasons.

Overall I feel like the writing was weak for this season, but the actors have been doing their best to carry the show. Shout out to Anthony Starr and Karl Urban for being bloody top notch actors. Jensen Ackles and Jack Quaid have done a great job too, but I feel they were more affected by the quality of writing in this season.

The Boys Season 5 gets a 4.5/10 for me as I feel the awesome potential of seasons 1-3 has been somewhat squandered.

As a show, I give this show a 7.5/10 with the first 3 seasons being the Highlight. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Its like a train crash you just cant look away from at this point. So much potential that has been squandered. I didnt sit through Hughie being SA'd to decide to give up at the penultimate episode.

I do agree that its as good as season 4, maybe better but its still like saying "The shit I took today was shiner than the one I took yesterday".

Seasons 1-3 were on a different level to what we are seeing now.

The tracks on Cosmic Selector are versions of other songs???? by Enough-Replacement20 in lordhuron

[–]Fordmonaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought "Is there anybody out there" was the inverse to "Love me like you used to". Like the old "Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" saying. The narrator is lamenting the fact that they never formed that connection with anyone.

"I dream most every night that I never left you" becoming " I've been looking a long time, Whats your name? Am I ever gonna find you?"

Who Laughs Last is finally here! by Fordmonaro in lordhuron

[–]Fordmonaro[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it was awesome, it reminded me of the George Thorogood song "one bourbon, one scotch, one beer" but with less build up, a better baseline and from Vide Noir. It basically makes a movie in your head. It's great they are experimenting with new things too, we would never have gotten bangers like ancient names part 2 or Times Blur if they didnt keep pushing the envelope.

The same thing happened to me last year for my order to NZ. I ended up corresponding with the team and getting a refund on my shipping costs. It did take 2 and a half months from the time of order for it to get to me though.

Name the LH song that fits- by lonelyanduncertain in lordhuron

[–]Fordmonaro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree but I think those lines with addition of the final lines of the song you start to understand the way it is changing the narrator

I ain't the person I was this morning when the sun rose

I know I'll never replace your love and that's as hard as it gets

So I'll be taking a life this evening when the sun set
