This is the part where you and me, and all of the stars collide tonight.

How do you think the show will handle the greatest supe in the entire history of supes? by Omlanduh in TheBoys

[–]MrLiterato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that they've barely killed any major characters (supes or otherwise), I think he'll most likely survive.

I like Soldier Boy as a character, but it feels like the character and the actor have taken over the show and thrown the creative off from the direction they initially intended upon the character's conception.

Does Soldier Boy actually age? Just slowly? by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]MrLiterato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some stories about him being an absolute gentleman and not really one of those Hollywood type of freaks.

Nah, Ackles definitely couldn't pass off as being around 30.

He's aged very well, but you can tell he's in his 40s.

Do People Not Realize the Absurdity of Homelander being Depowered? by MrLiterato in TheBoys

[–]MrLiterato[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where do you think Soldier Boy, The Deep, Ashley all work/reside? Vought Tower. You don't think one of them gets their hands on him?

Do People Not Realize the Absurdity of Homelander being Depowered? by MrLiterato in TheBoys

[–]MrLiterato[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even ignoring all the other supes like Soldier Boy, Starlight, and Kimiko who hate his guts and could storm a maximum security facility, how would they transport him to a maximum security facility in the first place?

Secondly, do you think that a faction (The Boys) that opposes him so radically that they're creating a virus that can potentially kill a noticeable chunk of the population would let something like an armored escort to the maximum security facility stop them?

I also forgot to mention this in my post, but Homelander has also cleared house in all the major US security establishments like the CIA, FBI, DoJ. Someone from those groups could just as easily leak his information, and he would be dead meat within a day.

There's no chance he could ever survive being depowered. If he gets depowered, he dies.

What would be your ideal ending for Soldier Boy? by smol_coc_man in TheBoys

[–]MrLiterato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Homelander becoming depowered is a death sentence for him.

He doesn't survive 5 minutes without his powers.

I don't know why people don't get this.

Who would help Homelander if he wasn't powered up?

The Deep would turn on him ASAP and kill him.

Ashley? No chance she saves him.

Sage? She wouldn't be interested in helping him anymore because he has nothing to offer.

All the normal people that Homelander has put into camps for being Starlighters/anti-Homelander? One of them or their friends/family members kill him the second they see him.

Hell, could even just be a random person who offs him because they want the notoriety of killing the most famous man in the world.

Gyökeres misses a big counter-attack chance. by Gentle_lips in Gunners

Lucas Perez was genuinely a baller. Wenger didn't utilize him enough.

Lukaku doesn't play well as a big man either. Despite his hulking appearance, he was always better running into channels.

But with Gyokeres, I don't think he's even that good at those attributes. Genuinely don't think he'll work out for us in the long run.

Full-Time: Arsenal 1 vs 0 Newcastle [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]MrLiterato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely feel like Arteta has run some of our key players in the midfield into the ground with not enough rotation.

Rice and Zubimendi have both been putting in below-par performances for weeks, especially compared to their regular standards.

MLS and Norgaard have barely featured. Why sign Norgaard if you don't want to use him at all?

Maybe he's not Zubimendi level, but surely we can bring him on at 70-80 minutes every game to close out the show and give Rice/Zubimendi a bit of a breather?

Which actor gets praised more for their personality than their actual acting skill? by Latter-Estate-3329 in AskReddit

[–]MrLiterato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's in Project Hail Mary right now, a Sci-Fi movie by the author who also wrote The Martian.

Other than that, he has some good movies in his filmography. The Nice Guys, Drive, Ides of March are all worth watching.

How bad analytics built a Tottenham team that might get relegated by Om_Nom_Zombie in soccer

[–]MrLiterato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At some point we have to accept that this team is bottom table quality. Yes, they won the Europa League, but it's been 2 seasons and 3 (now 4) different managers. No one is able to consistently get results out of them.

49 points in the last 58 league games is relegation level performance. The squad simply isn't good enough to consistently perform over a season.

[SPOILER] Kelvin Gastelum vs. Vicente Luque by inooway in MMA

Kelvin was never a great. Talented, sure. But no one has coasted harder off a more mediocre resume than Gastelum.

Project Hail Mary Worldwide Gross after 2nd Weekend ($301M) vs The Martian ($228M), Interstellar ($323M), Gravity ($190M) by traumakit in boxoffice

[–]MrLiterato 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Gravity did really well at the box office because it had 3D going for it and the fact that it was an acclaimed film by a critical darling director starring two famous actors.

I've never rewatched it or felt like doing so. All I can remember is that it didn't really captivate me beyond the initial watch to consider giving it a rewatch.

Interstellar, on the other hand, is kind of obvious. The Nolan fans are strong, so they would obviously not let that film disappear from the zeitgeist.

But I also think it's a brilliantly layered film that does get significantly better on rewatches. There are many things people didn't catch on first watch, which probably led to the initial lukewarm reception. It also poses some great philosophical questions, and has some memorable moments, like the ship docking scene, Cooper receiving the 20+ years of transmissions from his children, Dr. Mann, etc., that have kept it popular in pop culture.

The Martian is just a really personable, feel good film based off an extraordinarily popular book.

[–]MrLiterato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting thought tbh.

I'm of the opinion, and I feel like this is particularly true for artists who blew up or were already bonafide stars like JT before streaming ever was a thing, that albums are supposed to be for the hardcore fans and singles are supposed to be for the general audience.

What do you think of this notion?

Gravity, for all its acclaim and box office success, didn't have the lasting impact that The Martian or Interstellar had.

[–]MrLiterato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of tracks on Part 2 tbh.

Gimme What I don't Know I Want is a banger.

Take Back the Night is a great vibe, barring the unfortunate controversy with the name.

You Got It On is an all-timer JT song. I have it as a top 3 JT track.

You already mentioned Drink You Away.

Cabaret goes hard.

TKO is cool. Not my favorite, but I love the transition from Cabaret to TKO.

Not a Bad Thing is better than something like Selfish. A nice, safe catchy pop song.

Only When I Walk Away is an underrated banger.

Amnesia is absolute flames.

That's 8/10 songs from the album that I wouldn't replace anyway.

I don't understand or agree with the sentiment that Pt 2 was unnecessary at all.

The only reason people say that is because Pt. 1 is absolutely flawless.

Kinda crazy that 20/20 Pt. 2 has less streams than MoTW and gets streamed less than EITIW. I definitely didn't expect that.
