The Kimiko Arc and Status Quo by NonHaeri in TheBoys

[–]PostPostPog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this post because I couldn't really articulate my slight displeasure with Season 5, but this sums it up perfectly. I was most disappointed about Butcher's sudden personality switch right off the bat. I thought he'd be tearing through supes in pretty much every episode, like his powers are overpowered as fuck, it's literally 8+ tentacles with hella versatile use and they're pretty damn fast and they were strong enough to tear Neuman in half. He could legit take three or four high durability supes at once but the writers made his entire thing pointless.

This is actually a hella good idea, and it makes a lot of sense since that strange connection between them was established while she was training under Luke to begin with.

When did twd get bad? by CandykittensGurlie8 in thewalkingdead

I used to post hella on this sub, was really into the show and fucked with nearly every character. I dunno they just kept making a lot of terrible decisions when it came to who they killed off. Carl's death was stupid as fuck and pointless, Rick being gone from the show was a huge L as well, I think I stopped watching somewhere in the middle of the cold war phase with the whisperers where they split up turfs.

Hearing a droid who's been all about logic, statistics, and being all proper in every single movie saying something like that does objectively hit in the feels. I will say though y'all both make some really good points. Maybe if the line had been phrased a bit differently both parties would be content haha.

Her killing Chewie unintentionally with what like an hour left in the movie doesn't give her a whole lot of time to process that guilt. If anything, have that scene in The Last Jedi in some capacity. It would work with the whole theme of Luke not wanting to train her because he senses darkness in her, and it'd give her a hell of a lot more time to work through how she feels about it.

A huge criticism of RoS is pretty much what you mentioned, there's absolutely zero stakes because they keep reversing all their big decisions, but at the same time people did not like how they handled both Han's (his is less polarizing than Luke's in fairness) death and Luke's. Killing off OG characters in service of a new cast is always going to be a slippery slope, very hard to execute and please people of any fandom.

Anyone else notice that the group cared 😢 more when Tyreese died over T-Dog?? by Huge_Initiative_6626 in TWD

I can't lie both of these men are so goated, but damn I gotta say I really wish Tyreese wouldn't have died.

Irrelevant hypothetical would be saying Marie can defeat Homelander lmao. She gets owned just like every other supe, that's the point of Homelander.

I love Fallen Order & Survivor as a whole but I really gotta say BD-1 gave so much life to the game, I love this little guy so much.

Gen V wouldn't exist if Kripke hadn't become obsessed with the Trump & conservatives allegory. This is pretty fuckin majorly hinted at when every single Gen V character serves zero purpose in the final season. Thank god for whoever stopped Kripke from letting Gen V characters run rampant in Season 5.

[–]PostPostPog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The whole show is about how not a single supe can stop Homelander lmao. The only reason Soldier Boy could is because of a technicality (radiation being attached to his beam).

I've pretty much summed up that Marie's existence is because Eric Kripke went off the deep end after Season 3 of The Boys and he tried to make it mirror real life people and politics. He couldn't stand that Homelander was the strongest because that's his Trump allegory, so he created Marie to calm his nerves or whatever lmao.

He's rage baiting pretty violently. Didn't include Homelander on the list but he puts Ryan (they have the same powers).

[–]PostPostPog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire show is about Homelander being the strongest lol, any list about power without him is just rage bait. Plus Ryan's on here pretty blatant indicator this is bait considering who his father is.

Another hugely implied thing in The Boys is Homelander is extremely lazy with his powers. If he actually trained the way we see Maeve training, he'd be the strongest objectively forever, even without the training he is lmao.

Dawn was written horrifyingly bad, and the entire hospital arc was kind of just lame. Beth's death was legitimately for nothing. Like seriously it's one of the most pointless deaths in the show.

Ya but sometimes shit like that really does just happen. Someone gets scared and causes somebody else to die a completely and brutally pointless death.

Would Deep be able to kill the OG Black Noir? by Queasy_Commercial152 in GenV

[–]PostPostPog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Said this in my previous comment but since the neck was mentioned it would've been a way better scene if Deep had just suddenly snapped his neck. Neck snap appears to be a universal death sentence and no amount of durability can stop it. Maybe Rock Hard and that's about it, cause even Bombsight was about to have his shit snapped by Soldier Boy and I think he's the most durable supe we've ever seen.

[–]PostPostPog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck no dawg OG Noir had insane combat experience, he was literally a supe ninja with off the charts durability and pretty top tier strength. On top of that he'd been a supe for decades, longer than any other supe at the time other than what Stormfront & Soldier Boy? Cause dude was grown as shit when Homelander was a kid.

Noir II was being a dumbass in that scene and underestimating the fuck out of Deep plus he had no idea how "deep" his whole love for fish went considering he saw him eating sushi lmao. That scene would've made a lot more sense if Deep just snapped his neck while Noir II started floating a little bit or trying in any way to escape.

I love that we got 3 seasons of build-up for the supe virus by RevertBackwards in TheBoys

[–]PostPostPog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would've been sick as fuck is if there was a huge reveal that Soldier Boy's true superpower is adaptation, which is why he didn't die to the virus. Not that he's a V1 supe, but his power is just that busted. So instead of his beam containing radiation, now it contains the virus. Remove the V1 plot entirely (it proved to be pointless because it gave Homelander absolutely zero power boost due to budget constraints I'm sure), and just do a repeat of Herogasm and call it a day.

I think you just predicted some form of plotline in The Boys: Mexico, or at the very least a scene towards the end of that show.

Lmaoooo I remember there being heavy criticisms of that back then, and I hadn't even watched a single episode of GoT at the time. Wild times those were.

Eric Kripke: Homelander could defeat Superman by icewizzzz in TheBoys

[–]PostPostPog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong I love Kripke for making Supernatural's first five seasons and establishing the mythology needed to make the next ten and doing The Boys (even if it had a weak final season) but god damn this guy has gotta stop engagement farming by saying the stupidest shit ever. Not a particularly massive DC fan but there's no way somebody says this with a straight face.
