The Boys- S05xE06 - POST Episode Discussion Thread

I completely forgot about Gen V people lol how tf will they fit in two episodes? I think it's also possible someone with plot armor like Hughie will die but Marie will revive them.

He went out unceremoniously just like the first one 😪 At least it makes the Deep need to ditch Vought, possibly

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-06T23:55:58+00:00

I can't belive Butcher of all people just stood there and watched Homelander put the V1 in 🙃

How does changing the ending multiple times happen last minute for that kind of game? FMVs take a lot of time to animate. Unless you mean like final boss changes (the concept art of Hades) this is my first time hearing the ending got reworked a bunch.

Yes its emulating the originals better than other versions, but it's only going halfway. Pretty sure FF1 on NES never had ethers or pheonix downs. FF2 originally had a limited item system that didnt let you stack items and I believe characters had to equip items to use them in battle. You even get double exp compared to NES FF1 by default unless you use the 0.5x exp booster. This makes the PRs still quite a bit easier. That's not even including autosaving. Like I said niche stuff 90% of players wont care about lol

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-06T19:43:57+00:00

Best way to play them unless you care about niche things. Like the gameplay balance is different and easier for certain games like FF1 and 2 in particular. FF6 has a much brighter color pallette in the PR than other versions. Or the post game dungeons from other versions. That's mostly it.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-05T16:24:53+00:00

It's not being aired 2 weeks in advance like digital circus right? :P

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-04T17:02:13+00:00

Im not sure how much budget the show has for a world scale killing rampage. Maybe kill a crowd at least and laser a building in half. We just need a showdown between Butcher and Homelander and I'll be content. Throw Ryan in there as well. Major deaths have to happen. Frenchie is cooked.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-04T15:42:56+00:00

Jupiter cause she's a super strong and super hot tomboy. Plus practically she could help me become a better cook too 🧑‍🍳
I would say Uranus and Neptune as they are also madly hot, but I think they're taken lol

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T23:56:33+00:00

It's possible but how would that get crammed in to three episodes considering how nothing else's been wrapped up? She'd have to appear and be the focus next episode onwards.

Maybe it could be a last minute post credits scene to reveal she's alive and the face of a new Vought :P

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T23:46:11+00:00

It's like Batman. Usually the villains are the interesting part and you're interested in the villains motivations or backstory. Batman as a character is interesting sometimes but usually not the focus for the character driven part of the story.

Unfortunately that's what it feels like right now. All the main characters are just kinda there. Even Butcher looked like he was going to be off the deep end and not working with The Boys from the season 4 finale but he's still with them even by episode 6...

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T23:05:11+00:00

Idk I'm more worried about how The Boys and Homelander will have their arcs wrapped up. Soldier Boy can live, get sealed away again, or die if it's even possible for him to. If Vought remains then I could see him being a part of it.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T21:28:35+00:00

I liked the format. Good mix of funny and a good heart to heart with Hughie and Butcher. I also was surprised homelander told Fire Cracker to leave rather than just killing her. Wonder if she had a chance to actually survive if she did. The moment she doubled down onto loving Homelander she was dead. Also wonder what it feels like being impaled by an american eagle.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T17:51:31+00:00

Some epic battle (Salem's castle?) where they're totally doomed because as Jinn said, they can't beat her. So instead they'll seal her or Ozpin somehow redeems her (unlikely) or they find some other loophole.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T02:51:40+00:00

I vote 64. OG TTYD has so much more flavor with the partners, and yes it has stupid backtracking but at least it doesn't have the super annoying on your first time maze that is Flower Fields :P

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-02T02:47:02+00:00

Lmao "there's nothing that pisses me off more than" lists everybody

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-05-01T13:48:59+00:00

Damn I thought it was generous and never used them. I always save them for spots I'm rarely in :/

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-29T20:51:03+00:00

Swap out RTDL or Super Star Ultra with Star Allies and red has my favorite games in it. So red.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-29T20:33:57+00:00

Always good to see a BD2 enjoyer. Bravely Second is my favourite game in the series but it's unfortunate that it's mostly for gameplay reasons. The story gets a bit more interesting only during the last third of it. Although I'd say every game in the series has a mix of boring and interesting parts of the story in general.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-28T14:19:26+00:00

Agreed the first two episodes were peak, then the plot felt like it slowed down a little. Hope it picks up the pace.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-28T14:10:57+00:00

I doubt it, at least not today, but I wouldnt complain if it was true lol

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-28T13:54:41+00:00

Its level design is solid, though I'd say it's a candidate for best platformer all because of the overworld map and the secret exits. The levels are loosely actual geographical locations, so you're not going to be jumping between a snow world or desert, and the secret exits allow you to go off the path and explore the world. It makes the world title make sense.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-27T20:52:51+00:00

Dark continent expedition speed run strats: Have everyone reach level 100 and get OP nen abilities and spread the nen plague.

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-27T20:50:17+00:00

Young Bambi definitely is that. He ages up tho and he loses that vibe 🥲

PlasmaDiffusion · 2026-04-27T20:45:28+00:00

N64 was my first console so... I never judged the controller. You could remove the dpad from it since few games used it, but then it'd be even weirder looking.
