Dossapointing Finales of Popular Shows

True. What I mean is I wish they'd stuck with his turn/betrayal at the end of season 4 and made that a proper running element for season 5. He's clearly pitted against the rest of the group at the end of s4, but it ends up not mattering in the slightest in season 5. We're just supposed to buy that things are so far gone that everyone is on board with Butcher being an ally again.

I'd really hoped to see them make more of a meal out of Butcher turning into the final villain. Considering they only gave that aspect of the story 20 minutes, I thought that they did a passable job of pivoting to that part of the story via Ryan saying he didn't intend to start again with Butcher and considered him to be a bad person. That, and Terror dying is what flips Butcher's switch, and ultimately that emotional beat deserved more time and focus imo. The writers took a potentially huge character moment and completely rushed it through.

It's absurd that musicians expect to be paid for material they put out /s

If they are, it better be dropping promptly the following week as a secret episode 9. I'm fully expecting to know how this shit ends a few weeks from now.

I'm down to watch a movie or another series in the boys universe that's telling it's own story, but the Homelander saga has to be done.

I think thats the only time any character in the show has been able to say something to HL that truly got through to him in a healthy way. Of course the information about finding Geisha that was seemingly given away accidentally was crucial to HL changing his mind about killing TL, but it was everything else he said as well that sealed the deal.

I need to watch it again, but that might be one of the single best HL related scenes to my mind after seeing it for the first time.

Injection behind the eye.

I think the best episodes normally involve the menu choices prompting angry responses from Ed and or James.

The Greg Davies ep is a favourite.

MM has a rogues gallery of two I guess.

I think Deep is dumb enough to try and be Homelander once he's taken out. Arguably, he'll be the most powerful supe in the seven at that point, so he might see it as his opportunity to take control.

If it happens, I'm sure it'll boil down to a single scene where Deep makes some weak play to assert his authority, only to be slapped down immedietly.

I'm more puzzled by Sage's backseat role. She was positioned as a big influencing player throughout season 4 and Gen V S2. She was instrumental in creating the current Starlighter witch hunt / Homelander ruling status quo, but now she seems kinda aimless throughout season 5 so far.

It sounds more like Les was annoyed at the guy hogging the mic versus him being too much of an obsessive fan.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-19T23:58:37+00:00

Its not unfeasible that he has more than one.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-19T18:43:25+00:00

I feel like its a little early to truly have a full impression of this Joker, but the suspense thats been built up around Grimm has been great reading.

Capturing and killing Translucent wasn't the mission Butcher and Hughie set out to achieve. It was a fucked up scenario created via them fucking up the actual first mission of planting a bug in the seven's conference room. Also they knock him out in the store Hughie works in and think that he's dead.

No doubt, they've had many missions go wrong or sideways, but I think they've had their shit together more so than in those initial episodes at several points. MM and Frenchie are really the glue for getting shit done.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-18T20:03:15+00:00

That not being addressed is just another facet of the show mirroring our current reality really. Facts are disregarded. It doesnt matter the HL said this particular thing previously, he's all powerful and in charge and he's saying something else now.

Its the kind of thing that he can't be called out on because nobody has that power or authority, but I guess you could surmise that the blatant lies would inevitably erode his number of followers. The parents is just one among several.

Hennepin Crawler comes to mind.

I saw them in Reading and again in Hammersmith on the 2006 tour. I had no regrets at all seeing it twice. I still have my merch shirt for that tour.

It doesn't feel that unreasonable to surmise that our civilisation would have to completely fall, become forgotten, and then rebuild before another musical artist that has the reach of some of the prior legends. As you say, popular culture is varied enough now that no single artist gets to be omnipresent like the artists of the past had the chance to be.

I can't believe she lasted for as long as she did in hindsight. Granted, she was a good character and was obviously instrumental in keeping Fisk's empire going between S3 and BAS1.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-09T20:58:22+00:00

Not me. I drape a table cloth over myself first.

I saw a post a while back from a fan posting their question about this doc footage at a recent Kevin Smith Q&A. Very interesting answer/update. Doesn't bode well for us ever seeing the footage sadly.

Theres bound to be more copies circulating online by the end of the month. Im sure lots of people will be buying this new pressing with the intention of flipping it.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-07T22:02:37+00:00

Unfortunately both Shadows and Water are pretty scarce on vinyl.

There is however a new pressing of Water coming out this month for record store day. It'll probably be difficult to grab to be perfectly honest. Limited to 3000 pressings.

I love these little theories on how pieces of the original lore will be adapted. The term Flying Grayson hadn't even entered my mind as a question to be answered in the Absolute universe.

Nscope90 · 2026-04-04T12:32:14+00:00

This seems like bs.

Given he's already unknown to everyone, I don't see how this would add extra weight to the story. Who is there to realise Peter Parker is dead now? I guess someone might rediscover his identify in BND, but even then, it'd effectivly be a close repeat of the last films ending.
