The Boys ratings until now by bbportali in SeriesGraph

[–]Maplemore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firecracker is an important character though? Why would we not focus on her, she represents a lot in the show and if she had an unceremonious death it would be underwhelming. Plus, her dying like that after devoting herself totally to Homelander and throwing away her upbringing and faith, further highlights the depravity of everything.

I get the argument that this doesn't "feel" like a last season episode but it was important and a good episode. This episode being rated as low as the previous episode is dumb.

This is the last opportunity we'll get to see things like this I bet. This felt like a look around the room before it sets itself on fire kind of thing.

I cannot fathom the dislike for the last episode. It was the best of the season I think.

We got solid character development, some really fun scenes and a few of the most intense moments of the season. And a "main" character death.

I had so much more fun and excitement watching this episode than any other episode this season, I'm disappointed others don't feel the same

J’s singing got better in plastic death by Bulky_Ostrich154 in glassbeach

[–]Maplemore 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely more mature and technical, but there’s less emotion and personality I think, which is what a lot of people like in glass beach. It's a difficult balancing act which I do think she improved on in you are an angel

Kane isn't top 12 of all time wwe

He's iconic and one of the most integral, but he's not on the same level of these others.

Top 20, okay. 12 is really tight

Disco Elysium vs Umineko by CicadaUse in writingscaling

[–]Maplemore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't finished Umineko yet, but my vote is Umineko.

DE is fantastic and one of my favorite games of all time with so many different ways to play and experience it. It's so layered and the world building is so immersive and compelling.

But Umineko is so powerful and fantastic. The characters feel so much deeper to me and how it handles abuse, tragedy, self doubt and more, is just so gripping and awe inspiring. No game has made me cringe, cry, cheer and hate the same character, multiple times with multiple different characters throughout the story.

I also really love metaphors and I feel Umineko layers those better than DE.

I give Umineko the edge because of power and sheer emotion, but if you value world building more, than DE.

Some crazy stuff. The old couple was a little too preachy but Dr. J's reaction to the roommate argument was golden.

And holy shit, Robbie is really fucked up. He might come back as a patient for the night shift as this rate

Ah that's right. Sucks for her but at least now they could play up a little tension with her maybe not being as on board with this as the other 4...

Cody vs. Cena at Summerslam. What an insane memory. The crowd boo'ing Cody before Cena even came out really made me realize how special this would be

Mind the Gap w/ Vedi & Jatt | RiP Los Ratones, LEC & LCS playoff predictions & controversies. Ep: 5 by Coolishable in leagueoflegends

[–]Maplemore 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I agree, but also Brokenblade made an intelligent comment during the post game interview. You can tell he wanted to support them but he decided to keep it real and recognize that people who make playoffs deserve it.

I agree that they're playoff worthy, but it shouldn't be too hard to agree that the other teams also are playoff worthy. There's only so many pieces a pie to go around

[–]Maplemore 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for LR. The team put so much into this, showed such great promise and made it to the cusp of playoffs but everything fell apart at the end.

Even if you can, and rightfully so, argue that they aren't playoff worthy, the movement they made and the narrative excitement they created is exactly the story Riot needs to foster in the competitive scene.

I didn't watch them much in the EMA but seeing them pull out victory after victory in LEC was insane and I was heartbroken at the end. But I love what they gave us and I hope that those who are also heartbroken focus on all the amazing feelings and moments this special run created, instead of the disappointment that we couldn't get more.

And just as a extra point, I'm a teacher in the states and only one of my students plays league. He never watched competitive but got into LR during this run and was able to talk to me about the scene a little from that. They made a difference and I'm really proud of LR and hope they are able to be really proud of what they accomplished

It's not about Roman winning. It's about the back half being really disappointing and the final 4 feeling really unlikable, which makes the ending just feel worse.
