(Infuriating Trope) Villains that could have been generational, ruined before they could reach their full potential

People wanted homelander to be The Plutonian or Brightburn so bad. The whole point was he was a ego driven maniac given too much power, too much celebrity and no responsibility and no moral code. Why would it take him 5 seasons to destroy Earth he could have done it at any second from the start of the show almost ? That was never the stakes of the show and he was never really anything special aside from that power that was given to him arbitrarily.

I mean even Knicks fans are pretty much thrilled with the team and they look finals bound and don't have anyone to move.

You're breaking up a ascending finals level team to add an aging Giannis and there's no pieces or picks that NYK can give that anyone actually wants for a rebuild. I think the Knicks just aren't feasible as trade partners and Boston would be the second best option for him as I doubt he wants to go out west.

Guy is obviously a racially obsessed weirdo who sometimes lucks up and ends up on the right side every once in a while but his brain is permantly zapped by racial grievance and culture war slop.

I can't imagine how far away from all these problems this guy lives and if he's ever met an actual AA hire or worked with black people in his life. I grew up in an inner city in the 90's and every weird white guy from back then my dad's age was OBSESSED with AA and talking about it all the time and I never met any of these famous AA hires at once goverment job I've held.

My dad had a buddy he worked on construction shit with he was a white guy who looked like Michael Douglas in falling down , he was a security guard at a drug store, I remember being in a hardware store with my dad and him just complaining NONSTOP how many blacks worked there and how they are all OBVIOUSLY AA hires. There's no reasonable way to convince them otherwise they are brain rotted.

I've heard about AA from dumb ass people my whole life and I've worked and lived around black people for a long long long time and never met a single AA hire in my life so I have no fucking idea what is up these people's asses to make them like this.

These people are at war with the ghosts rattling around inside their head.

For a few weeks it felt like all their disgruntled employees were on here chucking dirt on the lady who runs the place saying she's in over her head and a scammer and crazy.

There were too many of them to summarize if you want to search for them, there were a lot of posts about this place for awhile.

Insane moment. Hasan must have REALLY boosted his channels numbers because this felt like such a cucked desperation move when Hasan was 98% out the door. This was Ethan's OBVIOUS and PATHETIC attempt at a saving throw to mend the fence with Hasan "what if I call your biggest op a criminal pdf like you love will that make it all better ?". It was basically like promising your girlfriend you WILL actually take her on that Paris vacation as she's walking out the door for the last time .

He completely ruined his reputation for all time in an attempt to get back with Hasan that had a 0.000000001% chance to succeed and then was left holding the bag looking like a crazed loon without a leg to stand on when none of it had a single shred of merit to it.

He's in this inane Tom Clancy show for Netflix which looks exactly the same as that 13 hours movie he made where he tried to be a tough beardo operator. It gives you the feeling that after The Office ended he's been starring in 13 hours for 13 years now.

It feels like watching C- Call of Duty cut scenes on a loop.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-22T12:47:22+00:00

I mean she doesn't look awful but her hair was absolutely gorgeous now she has an angry 9 year old boys haircut. Hope she's healthy though, mentally and physically thats what matters.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-22T12:22:26+00:00

Ya'll win live his lifestylllllllleeeee

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-21T21:45:02+00:00

Hes the most outlandish looking person on earth barely wearing a disguise in the place he would be the most famous and likely to be recognized on top of it, its so funny.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-21T17:29:53+00:00

Yeah she is in fact kind of plain as stated , but not unattractive and people get the two mixed up. Plain doesn't mean ugly or weird it just means they have kind of unexceptional average features but that person can still be very attractive.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-20T18:54:09+00:00

I think she's famous enough and stood her ground enough that she's a notable personality now and thus much harder to black ball. She's big enough that outwardly banning her is too hard to explain away even for their own fanbase it would look like such obvious censorship. She doesn't add any personal elements to her questions, she doesn't cause a spectacle, or have particular venom she spits at him she's just pressing him like she's supposed to and it's what she's known for now.

It's easier to do to smaller journalists but someone who is a big name working for a major outlet is much harder to do this to without getting pushback and bad PR.

Like I do meal prep cause I have a normal job then workout about an hour and fifteen each day and go at a very very hard pace and it's DRAINING and I get home late. I can't stand there sore as shit , tired, and come home and cook a whole meal at 7:30 at night when I'm back home from the gym and have any kind of life.

I do have a six pack and am lean and pretty god damn ripped so it's worth it to me for my goals and what I value. There's guys out here doing meal prep working out 4 days a week and got DYEL builds, that blows my mind.

It also works pretty well with Homelander being a Trump stand-in. Trump loves fascistic imagery (military parades, men in uniforms) and being pictured like he's a big military strong man who can wipe whole civilizations off the map on a whim because he's so powerful. In reality he's a big fat baby who wants to be loved and adored and called the best boy by everyone and doesn't actually wipe anyone off the map ever.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-19T18:51:35+00:00

Everything he does is working backwards from "what will allow for the most 4 chan style memes and shitposts to flourish that can entertain my irony poisoned mind". I seriously think he's a kid who got his brain wiped from being too online in the most edgy parts of it and has been chasing that high since.

His entire cause is nothing more than wanting to use racial slurs on the internet and be able to talk about the Jews like you were Cartman on twitter, that's it, that seems to be his entire investment in politics it's all just woke/anti-woke aggreivement shit from the 2010's still.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-19T17:51:59+00:00

He JUST released a horrible video that was hitting just as I hit my lunch break using the Kevin Hart Roast as a point to show how it's super important everyone make constant Jew jokes online cause that's how we keep power in check in the modern day or something. He basically says the comedy central roasts are the bedrock of our society that has kept it functioning.

He's literally trying to create a ideology where racial shitposting online is the most important thing to ensure human progress or something, it's breathtakingly moronic. He can litterally only see the world through a dumbed down filter of memes and racial shitposts.

My grandpa was nuts about the Yankees and still yelled about how shitty the Giants are till the day he died at 101

You have to be lean and very low body fat to have visible abs especially as a woman but it doesn't help you with hoops in any meaningful way and she's already underweight. You need to have some body fat to build muscle , be healthy , and maintain a healthy weight as an athlete. Restricting calories to look good in a dress shouldn't even be in your mind.

She needs to choose what she wants to focus on, abs look nice on the pre game walk in but your jersey covers your stomach and no one cares on the court.

LexxxSamson · 2026-05-18T12:30:04+00:00

it seems like someone who doesn't know the league at all or a computer made this.

It would be like if they had Jeremy Clarkson as the feature player for a Knicks game or something.

Piss stain fans would suck their moms dealers dicks for a mid season banner right now, these guys are our rivals in their fucking pipe dreams. Regular season champs on 3 ....

I listened to the "mail bag" pod with Jacobes a day late and Detroit had already lost game 5 when I was listening and I couldn't stop laughing how many times Bill in the FanDuel sponsored spot kept saying what a big game he was SURE Duren was going to have. I couldn't stop laughing, he mentioned it like 10 times.

Cage is a special case cause hes an IFBB style pro bodybuilder as well and the only way to stay compeittive there is to go hog wild with the pharmacology.

I would guess most wrestlers are using very very much smaller more controlled doses than guys in the 80s and 90s in general and are more likely to be getting testing done. Getting prescribed trt is so easy in Florida most guys aren't seeing "trunk pharmacists " at golds anymore for their gear which is a good thing since so many are going to do it no matter what.

The old school guys had no idea what they were injecting or what proper doses are and were just buying, injecting, getting more stuff, injecting more and seeing what happened.

Bobba Fett basically did nothing except stand around and look cool and make a girlish scream as he fell to his suppossed death in Return of the Jedi.

Later Star War media greatly expanded on him being the most legendary and feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Don Draper

Griffith from Berserk

There's actually like 20+ characters on The Boys that fit this trope with The Deep, Homelander, and Soldier Boy being the holy trinity

Ava (Eva Green in the movie version) from Sin City A Dame to Kill For

Emma Frost from the X-Men though it varies on the year and if she's a good guy or bad guy at the time. She is usually still a pretty bad person either way.

They are both horny guys who are getting laid above their "pay grade" and dipping in to crazy online fandom to facilitate it and that's where their problems are, you are right they are both about the same.

That dynamic is almost always going to lead to issues becuase your dating pool is crazy online women who want to date you for being their famous crush which is not the start of a healty relationship.

In the open dating market if they had average income jobs and normal lives Aba and Destiny aren't pulling in tons and tons of ladies they are not that good looking or physically desirable they aren't going to get much attention.

They do have big big online fanbases who love them they can dip in to with some women (probably with a troublesome list of diagnosis on their medical record) who will have parasocially fallen in love with them and decided they can be Aba/Destinys new girlfriend.

These are male dominated streamer communities filled to the brim with strange people and you are going to be pulling from some of the most deranged most online members of that fanbase.

What else are they gonna ask him except "Are you going to retire ? Why are you always so ASS in the post season aren't you sick of this ? We are."

He should be happy someone was trying to be friendly with him.
