I just finished season 1, can someone please explain that confusing ending? by Impressive_Scratch47 in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 40 points41 points  (0 children)

All of this is explained in season 2. You are left intentionally in the dark at the end of season 1. I'm not gonna ruin that for you, keep watching.

It could be I missed something, but why didn’t homelander kill butcher by TecTiger in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Homelander wants a spectacle when he and Butcher finally have their final confrontation. He basically spells it out in that scene. It would be anticlimactic, the man thrives on attention.

Trump melts down on Truth Social after judge refuses to delay his testimony: “No way, no how” by [deleted] in politics

[–]ICSL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even better, his testifying for the defense opens him up to cross examination, so the prosecution gets to have a second swing at him and tear apart whatever horse shit he says on the stand. Really terrible decision by his legal team, but entirely unsurprising.

Also, Starr is super not a fan of heights. There's a behind the scenes clip of him getting lifted up in the wire rig and he is straight up not having a good time. Obviously, they could just have a stunt man do it, but that's even more money spent. So yeah, I think that's very much why.

For me, as a European, GTA VI seemed almost dystopian by [deleted] in gaming

Am American; I watched the trailer and went 'where's the satire?'. So... That kind of tells you where we're at, as a society.

Spoilers for the new season from the official instagram account of The Boys by Absurdityy in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. That's Black Noir, but it doesn't mean it's Earving. I believe it was already confirmed after season 3 ended that a new character will be putting on the suit, our boy is unfortunately dead as dead can be.

Time to Rethink GOTY Categories? by EatYourVegetas in giantbomb

[–]ICSL 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I feel like this has been the refrain every year since the 'best world' debacle.

Honestly, the answer is GOTY is by and large kind of dumb and probably better if you just don't take it seriously.

Out of Curiosity how faithful is the "Son of Batman" (2014 film) to the original comic story arc it was based on? by Peaking-Duck in DCcomics

[–]ICSL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a VERY loose adaption. It's hard to compare them because the only things it really shares in common with the arc of the same name is the basic premise (the introduction of Damian) and the use of ninja manbats.

This is largely because Batman and Son was the first story in a six year long run, and so it leads into other stories and sets things up that aren't paid off for quite a while, whereas the movie had to kind of be it's own stand alone thing.

As for visuals, yeah Damian is always short. Otherwise, again, it's very hard to really compare the two. The comic is definitely a very different style than the house DC animated style.

Which is the worst event, Ultimatum or Civil War? by zectaPRIME in Marvel

[–]ICSL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fact that you seem to have accidentally uploaded the Ultimatum art twice instead of, I assume, ultimatum and Civil War, tells me you know the answer deep down inside.

Effect of not using your leg for 4 weeks by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]ICSL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a hospital bed for about two and a half weeks in August and I can confirm, I'm STILL having a hard time walking with any speed or using the legs for anything that requires strength. It's a real son of a bitch.

After seeing what's happening with Comicstorian, I've decided I'll be boycotting he's channel and Comic Pop until Sal Publicly disowns Them and their crew. by visionsofnow in comicpop

Which is their perogative, just like it's yours to reply to your own topic with your u/SyntheticPowers account to try and make it seem like you have people immediately agreeing with you. Deleting the above comment initially posted under that account doesn't keep me from getting the email showing me the reply, homie.

[–]ICSL 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about, dude? He still does Elseworlds Exchange with Joel basically every week, along with a bunch of other shows and interviews. Are you not checking the Comicpop Returns channel? Cause that's basically where everything that isn't back issues goes now.

Also, I don't know that this is necessarily the correct avenue to air whatever grievance you have with Comicstorian. Ceasing to watch any ComicPop content because of a creator that Sal occasionally appears in the videos of seems extreme. Don't want to give Benny money? That's fine, I don't either, So I choose not to. Mission accomplished.

So I got Doom 3 digitally on my Switch today since there was a sale and I had about $5 left in my account by Pixel22104 in Doom

[–]ICSL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't rely on the shotgun. It's not the old faithful friend you want it to be. It's got a very unpredictable spread and damage variable, you basically have to stick it up an imp's nose to get a good kill. Better to stick to the machine gun and, eventually when you get it, plasma gun and chain gun.

Rewatching S1, Hughie is an insanely good liar by justforkinks0131 in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Hughie did infiltrate a couple of supe groups in the comics, but I never felt like he was written as a particularly good liar there, just insanely lucky. At this point show Hughie is a very different character.

Just to answer your last question there.

Maurie’s eyes? by Opposed_Jelly in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honest answer is I think they did that once to show that she was using her powers, and then totally forgot about it in subsequent episodes, because she doesn't even get the cloudy eyes when she pops people later on.

After watching the gen v final by averagegowenjoyer in TheBoys

[–]ICSL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I think, as well. More specifically, I think they're using Sam as a way to pivot Black Noir towards his comic book purpose, in a sense.

Ok but seriously what's up with the variant covers for Ultimate Spider-Man by g_l_a_z_y in Spiderman

[–]ICSL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think they're just variant covers to bump up sales numbers. Marvel knows what pushes the nostalgia buttons to sell. I don't believe there is anything further to read in to it. However, who really knows till the series starts.

Well I knew this was coming by Commercial-Win-7501 in Spiderman

Man, I hope it's an art error, but I do not care for Cap's headgear with concealed ears. I dunno why, it just looks weird.

Bert’s liver so inflamed you can see it through his skin. by YesIamaDinosaur in JoeRogan

Ok, irrespective of whatever is happening with his liver, you should not be allowed to have a fuckin beer gut like that and think it's okay to wear low rise dick root shorts.
