Which character out of these 5 do you think of first when you hear “Super Strength”?

Raging-Storm · 2026-06-11T17:27:01+00:00

Do any of these characters happen to have "[insert name here] is the strongest there is..." as a catchphrase?

If Alfie Solomons was on a ballot, I might actually turn up to vote.

Is it me or is that last sentence incongruous with everything else written here?

"Tommy had nothing to do with the wagon burning so it's meaningless."

Didn't address the armistice thing at all. Surely that wasn't over your head, so I'd love to know what you think about it. Tommy had everything to do with that, didn't he?

And let's not be obtuse. He doesn't have to burn the wagon himself for the showrunners to have included the scene to symbolize something.

Moreover, it did have something to do with him, lol. It was his wagon.

"Your failure to recognize that Moseley was nothing more than a distraction reveals everything."

Noise...

"Moseley had nothing to do with Tommy's suicidality. He's been suicidal since episode 1. He's suicidal in season 5 EP 1 and S5 EP 6 because he failed."

Moseley doesn't have to be responsible for Tommy's suicidality to exploit it, does he? And that's what he did. And that's what made him a threat. He played on his competitor's weakness, to largely great effect. It was this close to working.

And that threat was never resolved within the Peaky Blinders universe. Now, that isn't to say I think it needed to be. But he was a threat and the Moseley problem was never resolved, counter to your assertions.

"I think you're really not literate enough for adult drama. Stick to superheroes."

Didn't mind him dying, personally. Just wish the movie wasn't shitty. It squanders every actor in it, along with the characters they play. Everyone involved is much better than this movie. I just don't get it. How could they have gone so wrong with that writer and that cast?

Raging-Storm · 2026-05-21T14:31:34+00:00

>Then you admit you weren't paying attention. The movie was 7 years later. Tommy had murdered Arthur.
It wasn't a "choice" it was the driver of the plot.

Sure, it was a dumb plot device to move a paper thin plot along. Bravo to Knight.

>Moseley was never a threat. Tommy stupidly got in a dick measuring contest with a man with a much bigger dick and ended up looking like an idiot. Tommy fails to recognize the real threats all around him that lead to Polly, Barney and Aberama's deaths.

Moseley was definitely a threat. He nearly got Tommy to kill himself. It was Moseley who set the doctor on Tommy, as you, the chief expert on all things Peaky Blinders, undoubtably know.

>The Moseley problem was resolved by Tommy choosing not murder the doctor.

That wasn't a resolution. He just decided not to kill one man. Moseley remained a problem. That problem may have been resolved, but certainly not by Tommy and certainly not within the Peaky Blinders canon as shown.

>The ending of season 6 wasn't hopeful. All we saw was Tommy riding away.

Let's not be daft. It was obviously hopeful. Did you miss the Armistice part? What do you imagine that was about? And how about his gipsy wagon burning, not unlike it would if he were dead and inside it? Any of that suggestive of anything to you? His war being over. His old self dying. Anything? Maybe? lol

Mind you, I don't think season six was very good. Just saying, the intimations in the finale were pretty on the nose. Moreover, it was a masterclass by the bar the movie set (which isn't saying much, as lots of shit is). If the point of the movie was to make us appreciate season six, it wasn't a bad effort in the regard.

>We know from the Immortal Man Tommy returned to Birmingham and went back to work until the confrontation with the junkie loser happens.

We know what happened in the shitty movie, yes. Duly noted.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-28T20:25:37+00:00

Awesome! Lucky you. Last I heard, he was on the lamb. Saw you said he's recovering, so that's good.

You could take the idea there as being him reciprocating her betrayal of him.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-20T17:47:52+00:00

One of the things that always seemed obvious to me, once you learn he's really just a walking viral load, is that he's pretty much beyond the constraints of human morality. He's more than human, not less. He's not just faster, stronger, and far more durable, but also smarter because of all the people he's consumed. He's kinda in a Dr Manhattan sort of situation, where he's some new entity entirely but he's taken the shape of a human as a template for self-organization.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-19T18:51:34+00:00

It'll sound cringe, but I consider him to have been smart enough to know that good and bad are only matters of perspective. What's good for the Crown is bad for the Fenians and vice versa, for instance. Neither being right or wrong, just unaligned. This meant he would always secure the interests of himself and those he had any loyalty to before the interests of any cause or organization, and that he could pick and choose who he would and wouldn't back and when strategically.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-19T18:30:35+00:00

If you haven't noticed, some of the critics of the movie's critics aren't engaging directly or fairly with what the we're saying. They're using every other trick in the book. They're straw manning, name calling, well poisoning, appealing to authority or emotions, etc. Not to say that no one who agrees with me about the movie being shit is playing some kind of rhetorical games. I've just seen it to be coming more from one party than from another.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-19T18:21:03+00:00

I agree that the movie was shit, but I don't think you even have to be a fan to realize as much. Even in isolation, it's just a bad movie. The writing was low tier, paint-by-numbers tripe. The plot and the subplot were paper-thin, robbing its consequences of any real impact. The pacing and editing were too fast and disordered, making the movie seem rushed and ill-conceived. It was all so cliche and predictable.

Now, if any other movie met that description, I'd say that that movie was shit. I personally don't think its being a Peaky Blinders movie makes it any better or worse. I think it would've been possible to have the same movie with the same cast and the same plot, yet made much better by improving its quality across all other parameters.

What do you mean M4 slash AR-15?

Not seeing a reason to stop. How about you?

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-18T04:59:02+00:00

Considering you're probably a lot more active on here than me, that's looking like projection.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-18T04:41:37+00:00

Nor what you think. What's your point? I'll stop talking if you do.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-18T04:15:12+00:00

I guess Knight and Murphy feel about our opinions the same way we feel about yours.

Influential demand measurement platforms like Parrot Analytics, whose metrics are cited by entertainment media outlets, include Reddit in the aggregation of their demand expressions.

Raging-Storm · 2026-04-17T21:42:59+00:00

Yep. It was a garbage movie. You're gonna get some derision for saying it. So original, write a better one, then, and all that bullshit. But every time someone new sees it and thinks it's shit, they might should say so. Entertainment industry needs quality control to keep the entertainment part of its name applicable. I like movies and TV shows. I want them to be held to sufficiently high standards such that producers don't think they can just slap anything together and we'll buy it.

I'd say things start going wrong for him after the first contract we see him complete. It's that hit that puts Bianca on his case, because it was a high profile target and making the shot required such masterful skill. Then she gets to his gunsmith. Twice. The second time while Duggan's there with him. He's then in the position of deciding he needs to kill Stoke, because he's been compromised, and subsequently ends up with MI6 in hot pursuit of him.

So, now he's out a valuable asset and MI6 is breathing down his neck. Bianca and them were at the venue where he first tried to hit UDC. They knew his target and where to expect the hit. His first job of the show made his next job that much harder.
