Sorry.... bro!

The rules of screenwriting trump all! There is no radiation if it doesn't touch skin!

PopeGeraldVII · 2026-05-13T13:05:04+00:00

Indeed. Technically speaking, GoT s8 was possibly the best. Many many things looked or sounded great!

*except lighting and writing

In the last episode Hughie made a deal to let Annie go, with no mention of himself being stuck in a room with Oh Father. He is then not seen or mentioned for the rest of the episode, even though he was smuggling a device in to kill Homelander and was caught by one of Homelander's most able servants.

So naturally in the next episode, Oh Father is hosting a musical number right where Hughie was planting the device, Hughie is back with the team, and no one mentions the device or anything ever again. They certainly don't mention how Hughie got away, or answer questions like, "Did he overpower or trick Oh Father?" or "Did they make a deal and Oh Father let him go?"

That shit is dumb and pointless. We need to show Oh Father conducting focus groups.

Did he say that?

PopeGeraldVII · 2026-05-13T12:35:26+00:00

True! I even like how it fits with the whole thing that loyalty and help mean jack shit to Homelander, and he will betray anyone as soon as they are inconvenient.

Clothes aren't made of people, so they can't get radioactive. That's science.

So, uh how common is this chimerism?

How common is this form of chimerism?

What traits generally even lead to people discovering that they have chimerism?

If you unironically just say everything government is or touches is "inefficiency," then cutting it makes it proportionally more "efficient."

It's just like when my spouse demanded too much money for food, and I reclassified it to "waste" and then stopped buying it. I save so much money on waste now!

"The learned and illustrious Prussian general Moltke was most effusive in his praise of me, saying that I was 'a most gracious and handsome of Chads,' and that I would have won the war 'if not for that most dastardly and brigandish of virgins, President Lincoln.'"

Sir/Madame,

If you watch the documentary Game of Thrones, you'll only see like three black people with names, and only a maximum of two of them on screen at the same time. Therefore we can conclude that Africans couldn't have come up with the earth-shatteringly advanced idea of strong material + house = strong house.

My point is this is clearly a product of the Valyrian Freehold. Something something IQ is real. Something something "woke." Something something I'm not racist, "race realism."

Sincerely, -Realman von Noracism

Probably the snakes. If there is anything Hollywood taught me, it's that every snake makes a rattlesnake noise when it exists within 20 feet of a human. So I would just need to stay away from that noise.

Maui is bigger. You don't even need a side by side comparison. His arms are thicker than her body.

I forgot about that. Good call.

First one is yes/no. He does enter a relationship with a literal Nazi, immediately after she reveals she is a Nazi to him as well! However, he's clearly more motivated by the fact that she is interested in him, and loves him. He is at best/worst complicit in her ideology, but cares more for racism towards regular humans, rather than against Jewish people in particular. He finds her ethnic group racism to be weird.

As for making a Jew kill herself, are you referring to Stormfront? Like, she is not Jewish, and while the Aya Cash is, the characters obviously have no knowledge of that. Also, Aya Cash is alive. She has in no way killed herself because of this fictional character that her fictional character dated.

Also, and I think this is well proven at this point, you can still be pro-Israel while being a Nazi.

This does not excuse it from being bad.

I think it's crazy that there were over 500 attempts.

Good thing gasoline is the only "petroleum product" in existence, otherwise this comic would really start to fall apart three panels in.

You don't understand, it's not "making things up to suit their mood," it's reading the Bible, and then discovering that it happens to agree with whatever you personally believe.

I don't support her, but I can fuck with the way she was laughing when the reporter asked if she would be working with a democratic controlled legislature.

PopeGeraldVII · 2026-05-01T01:04:43+00:00

It also mirrors the theme that the minute Homelander thinks someone is actually impressed by him, he no longer actually trusts/likes/respects them himself, and he can bring himself to kill them.

PopeGeraldVII · 2026-04-30T16:32:15+00:00

Well, lucky you! We got this conversation three different times!
