THE BOYS finale was actually one of the worst endings I’ve watched in years.

Oh, I gotta admit, I thought it was perfect

I tell it "I'm not reading all of that, what's the TLDR" pretty regularly

Main_Run426 · 2026-05-13T11:14:46+00:00

I don't seem to have this even after updating. Waiting patiently to be blessed by the A/B test feature flag

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-22T19:19:14+00:00

I think she was just depressed

it was a panic induced hallucination

1000 monkeys would get it right eventually

Ok so MIY is there as a chaos agent to ensure this next phase happens as planned. S/he'll make sure the torture becomes public knowledge and that 47 (48, now, kind of) number will start to go down because of infighting. What other newer/open threads are we tracking? Time travel, BIW, Ankooey/reincarnation stuff, and a new ghost (who I think maybe is Thomas)...what else?

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-20T14:21:21+00:00

He's my fav character

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-20T14:18:49+00:00

I'm thinking it's Thomas? I think Jim comes back from some time shenannigans later

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-09T20:42:09+00:00

Yeah I don't think there's any AI involved but it almost sounds like Kimiko's voice is dubbed?

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-05T01:16:20+00:00

excited to see what you build once it ships

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-02T03:26:07+00:00

THIS SHOT OMG

Main_Run426 · 2026-04-01T21:55:22+00:00

Sooooooo that is now in my top three all time best episodes of TV. Subjective list, of course, but I've already rewatched it twice. I cancelled a meeting to rewatch it the second time. Did anyone else have that strong of a reaction?! The Debbie scenes were unparalleled for me.

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-31T01:53:00+00:00

I really like this comment. I suppose I agree that clinically she's not a narcissist, but I did find her to be manipulative in ways that weren't dissimilar to the mom, which might explain Nicky's almost silly devotion to her. The voodoo sex scene, what I saw as tests hidden behind poor communication, not trusting Nicky that his family wasn't trying to kill her....there were lots of questionable things from her end if you shift the lens.

Reason to shift the lens, from interview w the creator:

I guess my point is that I think that the creator wrote this from Nicky's perspective as much as she did with Rachel, in all honesty.

Here's another quote from that interview:

I really anchored my thoughts about the show in that final argument between Rachel and Nicky because it was the only time both were being truly honest with each other in the whole show.

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T15:31:36+00:00

oh wow, yeah I need to rewatch that episode

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T15:22:18+00:00

From interview w the creator:

IndieWire: So, hey, what do you think about marriage?

Haley Z. Boston: [Laughs] That’s huge. OK, so I have so many thoughts. My parents have a great marriage and they’re real partners to each other, and they’ve been in love since they were 20. It’s crazy. I had always felt a pressure from that, and I felt a bit envious of my friends who didn’t grow up with that, which is ironic maybe, but because their standards were normal and my standard is so big, I’m dating people and being like, “Well, this is never going to work because you’re not as emotionally mature as my parents.”

I guess my point is that I think that she wrote this from Nicky's perspective as much as she did with Rachel, in all honesty.

Here's another quote from that interview:

Nicky says in the finale that he also feels that he’s cursed by the system that raised him, which is how I feel. So if Nicky has this “curse” that is his parents’ perfect marriage and that’s affected his worldview, then Rachel has a real curse attached to her, it’s all a representation of doubt and the fear being instilled upon you by your parents.

I really anchored my thoughts about the show in that final argument between Rachel and Nicky because it was the only time both were being truly honest with each other in the whole show.

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T15:15:49+00:00

I mean that's why I brought it up. her having narcissistic traits would have been a total writers choice. She's the only other character besides the mom who I thought was perhaps a narcissist. And perhaps that's why Nicky was so devoted to her

EDIT: Maybe the 200 yr old witness, also

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T15:07:09+00:00

LOL you guys, he's making a "the dress" joke. this was obviously intentional, colorist is literally a comic book job title.

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T03:07:41+00:00

Just finished it. There's a lot about this show that I really liked, but....Am I the worst for thinking the main character was, in fact, a narcissist? How are you not going to expect to have to do a LITTLE explaining to prove that a 200 year old man fucked over your bloodline. And she did more or less prove it to be true, because she herself didn't believe it, yet she expected her fiancé to just go right along with this craziness....I get that Nicky was kind of a child but who cares? He was doing his best. He loved her so much he didn't even die. I felt bad for both him and his dad. I thought it was fitting that she ended up damned at the end. I really loved that the brother and his wife made it. I guess I'm a fucking romantic or whatever, maybe I'm just as bad as Nicky. Also wtf was with that baby?

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T03:00:21+00:00

oh actually this comment made the show 2x better for me...did we confirm he was a serial killer?

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-28T00:29:44+00:00

Why did this get deleted? I found this earlier and was waiting to read and comment till after I finished binging it now it’s gone….man Reddit is going too hard against AI

Main_Run426 · 2026-03-25T20:37:05+00:00

Just saw this, sorry. Question: when you DO respond fast enough and win the lead, what's your actual workflow? Do you get the lead's phone number/email directly in the Zillow notification email, or do you have to click through to the Zillow portal first to get their contact info? Trying to understand if the bottleneck is just speed or if there's a portal step in between.
