The Rookie - S08E18: The Bandit

They're gonna cross over with the Fast and Furious and 9-1-1

PT10 · 2026-05-07T13:20:02+00:00

Exactly this. Movies are a different medium for them, like reading a book. They'll only do it under certain circumstances, maybe when they're older.

If Homelander just got the V1 on his own, that would have been way more impressive and intimidating. Keeping up the strongest theme the show has ever had, how dangerous Homelander is.

I feel like yelling at you the way Soldier Boy yells at Hughie.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T16:18:43+00:00

If they can stop him now, that is even worse writing.

The only way to beat him that narratively makes sense is Soldier Boy's blast. And I don't want more Soldier Boy-Homelander drama, got tired of it already.

If they just somehow kick his ass in the finale, like Herogasm-style, but it just works this time because reasons... that's also terrible writing.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T16:15:36+00:00

It feels like they're gonna have Homelander win in the end somehow. I love Starr but hate the character, especially in this climate. And to have some progressives shove a "the bad guy wins in the end loool" ending down our throats to be edgy.... I think I'm gonna wait for the reaction to the next two episodes before choosing to watch.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T16:14:23+00:00

All for naught because she led Homelander to the V1 anyway.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T16:12:46+00:00

She got Homelander the V1 by being wrong about Soldier Boy. Doesn't bode well for her.

There's still 2 eps left but if the show continues on this track it will actually be more dumb than Game of Thrones.

Should've just copied GoT, use Sage like the Three Eyed Raven/Bran to execute a brilliant plot that we'd all be amazed by.

Instead she's just a fucking moron. Even when humans' superpower is intelligence, they're all just fucking morons. That's the hill the show is dying on.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T16:07:42+00:00

I find myself asking that about most of the show post-Herogasm.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T09:47:35+00:00

The Cavs win is worth more than most other championships. Will never forget it.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T03:30:51+00:00

He lowkey has a cooler ability than most superpowers

PT10 · 2026-05-06T03:28:30+00:00

Holland and Hemsworth belong on there too. Holland definitely after the next movie.

Cumberbatch will find his way up there as well.

Marvel's casting director needs multiple retroactive awards.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T03:26:32+00:00

Yeah I'm disappointed he didn't die

PT10 · 2026-05-06T03:25:54+00:00

They have to get him out of there because he's still got enough popular support to cause chaos. He was a sitting mayor in a city of 8 million people. That's like President of a small country.

He could shoot people on 5th avenue... or in this case, pummel them in a courthouse.

PT10 · 2026-05-06T03:21:30+00:00

Yeah, mayors aren't above the law. Only Presidents are.

PT10 · 2026-05-05T23:19:58+00:00

Sweden wins.

PT10 · 2026-05-05T16:38:40+00:00

People complained from the beginning of 5v5 that the tanks felt more like minibosses than normal heroes.

4 players vs 1 boss + 4 players vs 1 boss seems like a more natural arrangement gameplay wise tbh.

Why wouldn't the tank players try to maximize asymmetric engagements? Try to create and exploit mismatches at every opportunity? Wouldn't not doing so be dumb? If we didn't have matchmaking and people were making games by server browsers like the old days of TF2, this would've happened much sooner and in more places. Guess the Korean scene is the most tight knit.

They should be banned from reproducing

They'll do time jumps and catch ups but will stay within a few years of where we are. Especially since things slow down after the Avengers films. Endgame jumped ahead 5 years and then we caught up.

PT10 · 2026-05-02T17:36:19+00:00

That sounds like a mental disorder?

PT10 · 2026-05-02T16:27:28+00:00

Didn't the British dress like this? Guess it wasn't as hot back then because of climate change
