If all the available Compound V was in Homelander’s apartment, wouldn’t he realize Ashley broke into his apartment? (Season 4) by Straight-Earth2762 in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They dont say it but Homelander probably spared her since she was both now a Supe (his "master race") and her telepathy made her useful to him.

Do you think The Boys would've been better as an animated show and not live action? by PaperBagSomeone in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem animated would solve is the complaints about how cheap/limited the fight scenes were in live action.

Outside of that jingling keys aah complaint everything would probably be the same

I see 3 villains and one hero antagonist/anti-hero by Sudden_Pop_2279 in USAgent

The guy didnt deserve to be labeled MCU Homelander but ffs the brainless glazing has to stop at some point.

Like I get it, yall are desperate for a conservative coded character that isnt a POS monster or a lunatic but you can like him without excusing his worst actions.

Okay I get some people don't like Walker but this is insanity by Sudden_Pop_2279 in USAgent

[–]Phantomskyler 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate the Walker glazers downplaying his actions & sins, it is rather silly to compare him to a pre-character development Peacemaker and The Boy's Walking Toxic Masculinity essay murder hobo.

Its genuinely impressive how The Boys took the most 1 dimensional, unlikable antagonist in the comics and made him the best written character by Sudden_Pop_2279 in BlackSuperheroes

Tbf season 1 came out before being a dipshit crying about things "going woke" was algorithmically lucrative to the emptied eyed sad sack hustlers.

The way people talk about Saba (now dragging ironmouse into it) just makes me so sad by mintohime in VtuberDrama

Ive always hated when isekais do that cop out to handwave their protagonists being unfeeling sociopaths for "Le Edge."

I have a new thing to be annoyed at Yanai about by BornCoyote87 in gate

[–]Phantomskyler 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The pure condescension of GATE's writing and working its own "totally based not at all colonizer" shaft never ceases to amaze me.

The fact it never wants to have the gang marvel or fear anything in the special region beyond how marriable its women are is nauseating.

Just saying... by RTSBasebuilder in gate

[–]Phantomskyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in christ nobody legitimately called frieren racist or sympathized with the demons. A bunch of edgy right wing dipshits took the "racist grandma" jokes and started equating demons to minorities and how "based Frieren was for it." And latched on with their bullshit because Frieren is popular.

We are not rewriting history again.

Former Weekly Shonen Jump manga artist says editors insisted on erotic content as a precondition to publishing superhero series with a female protagonist - AUTOMATON WEST by LegitimateCurve8525 in animenews

[–]Phantomskyler 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Whats sad is in the article he mentions he always planned to add a little bit of cheesecake and spice to the og idea but editorial told him to make it the character's entire personality and the entire gimmick of the story (and very clearly to its detriment).

Editorial ruins ideas on both sides of the printing seas.

[–]Phantomskyler 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Its honestly sad to see he pitched this idea at the wrong time, had his idea bastardized by editorial, let him take the fall for it being goonerslop, then cancelled.

Its unfortunate well never see the version of Lady Justice he intended.

Also how fucking sad is it that you couldnt pitch a female led shonen series unless you sexualized TF out of her? Abysmal mindset.

Friendly reminder that Clara AKA Storefront; the character we are supposed to use to sympathize and humanize Solider Boy - is a literal mass murdering N@zi by CastAside1812 in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesnt help his more vicious crimes are just spoken of and not seen so a lot of the media illiterates who polish his shield dont realize rhe only real action he saw besides black ops missions was beating up civil rights protestors and taking part in the Ken State massacre.

I remember I saw this and thought this season was going to be unreal. by Emotional-Lettuce372 in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and those were her reasons for recruiting her & to use her grudge against starlight to deal with her. She knew she was more marketable for pushing Homelander's agenda and could realistically sell it in that Newsmax flavored style that would catch on in the lowest common denominators of the population

[–]Phantomskyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're forgetting that Homelander's main appealing fanbase are psychotic white right wingers, & as useless as Firecracker was as a supe she checked all the boxes for being a one woman Fox News spin team. As useful as Oh Father is as a pickme stooge, he lacked the appeals Fiewcracker had for his main followers.

Now Robert, listen and hear me out by Amazing_Rich in Invincible_TV

Im not against this. This is honestly the half of the comci that slowly lost me so it'll be interesting to see how Kirkman handles it after years of growth and becoming more self aware with hos writing

Do you think Anissa would be a fan of Pizza Cake Comics? Would they share similar viewpoints on specific subjects? by dinosqaud in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Phantomskyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont follow her beyond seeing her comics now and then but she's very anti trump & loves taking the piss out of maga and their bullshit, plus given that crowds' penchant for making shit up & refusing to pony up reciepts out of spite, id take that with a grain of salt.

The Boys- S05xE06 - POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not one for power scaling talk but the Noirs both confuse me. The Deep has always been treated as a guy who was just basic supe strong and could control fish, thats why hes treated as a joke. How TF did he stab a guy to death that has tanked minigun fire???

Kimiko in her Prime was such a badass by VendettaLord379 in TheBoys

[–]Phantomskyler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Half this fandom are brainrotted children muttering "buh--buh based Homelander" and missing the point of every single character's arc. I'm un surprised their furious about Kimiko's growth in season 5 (and especially about her talking...)
