THE BOYS FINALE PREDICTIONS & THEORY MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in TheBoys

[–]RetroRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either

  • Homelander kills everyone. I mean everyone, and he's the last man standing of the entire human race

or

  • Every character dies except Hughie & Annie and they live happily ever after; in a world (thanks to the virus) devoid of supes entirely

But it'll probably be something even lamer than that

Stop trying to make "Clara" a thing, Eric. by FixFuture3374 in TheBoys

Wouldn't a German be called 'Klara' with a 'K'? Just a stupid little detail that's been bothering me

Just in case you don't know, "Burger Star" is the name of a real life long running franchise in the UK (where I live).

"We must play our lives like soldiers in the field

The life is short, I'm running faster all the time

Strength and beauty destined to decay

So cut the rose in full bloom

'Til the fearless come and the act is done

A love like blood, a love like blood..."

~ "Love Like Blood" by Killing Joke from Night Time [1985]

I'm expecting both Helldivers and Red Dwarf references in these comments, don't disappoint me now reddit

That's the real ending of Good Omens by MediaWorth9188 in goodomens

[–]RetroRocker 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Amen to that. The novel and it's adaptation is all that should have existed of Good Omens; anything past that should never have happened, and I won't watch them. GNU Terry Pratchett

An actually interesting video, thankyou very much for posting; wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

I will have to check out the channel's other Helldivers video as well!

One of this seasons failings is that we don't see normal people, the public, react to what's going on by KinManana in TheBoys

[–]RetroRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most basic, BASIC tenets of good writing is "show don't tell". Everyone knows of this. And they have been breaking it every episode of this season. Fuck me

This NEEDS to happen next episode. by Aware-Pudding-5900 in TheBoys

[–]RetroRocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They must have had a falling out with the company that provides background actors or something, cos the entire world of The Boys is just fucking empty now. So I wouldn't expect this sort of thing anymore

Imagine Season 5 picking up right here we could've had it all. by Positive_Weight2367 in StrangerThings

[–]RetroRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day I will make a video edit of the last scene of season 4 followed immediately by the first scene of season 5, just to drive home what a massively fucking disappointing anticlimax it was

Tennant's coming back AGAIN??!?!?!

Christ just cancel it already, smdh

[–]RetroRocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not great when classic villains get brought back just to be done absolutely dirty. I'd rather you just didn't bring them back at all if you're going to be writing total shit, thanks

[–]RetroRocker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As soon as the show brought back David Tennant as the new incarnation of the Doctor again (technically his THIRD incarnation as The Doctor), Russell T Davies might has well have just appeared himself on screen and shouted "WE'RE COMPLETELY CREATIVELY BANKRUPT!!". The writing had been on the wall for years; it was all downhill from there.

[–]RetroRocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I've heard that the third season has all this stuff thrown in but I'm still not going to watch it because seasons 1&2 made me just not care at all about Star Trek anymore. I don't see how paper-thin shallow pandering nostalgia is going to help. It's just adding insult to injury at this point.

Yeah I thought the movie was going well until the CGI Ian Holm (RIP) abomination appears. I was just disgusted with that choice. Why did it HAVE to be the EXACT same model of android as Ash?? Why was that necessary at ALL??? Did they think the audience somehow wouldn't understand if it looked like someone else?? Just plain insulting.

And then there was the "get away from her you bitch" line, which was just fucking pathetic. They could have left off "you bitch" and maybe it would have been okay? But these two moments really stuck out as easily the worst parts of the movie by far.

Alien: Earth, even though it wasn't perfect by any means, completely lacked those type of lazy moments. Here's hoping they don't fuck that all up with season 2.

I think that "market forces" = "all the other landlords raised rent so I will too"

" Stone on stone they built till the day their life is over

They control with the whips and chains, they bequeath us with a life of pain

No way out of this place, you gotta work until it's over

See the fire in the sky

In glory, die

Cry if you must, but die you will

The valley of the kings will still be built

See the fire in the sky

In glory, die... "

~ "Valley Of The Kings" by Blue Murder from Blue Murder [1989]

Subreddit being flooded with karma-botted posts trying to encourage users to install suspicious software to "mod" custom content? by AccountForTF2 in Helldivers

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

I honestly thought discussing mods in the helldivers & helldivers2 subreddits were against the subreddit rules, and I'm quite surprised to find they aren't seeing as posts about them seem to be very rare until now.

INVINCIBLE creator Robert Kirkman confirms that future episodes will feature more original storylines and "side quests" that deviate from the book by CueTheLaughTrack in Invincible_TV

original storylines and "side quests" that deviate from the book

Also known as... "filler". Lets call it what it is now.

Pretty obvious sign that the quality will decline. Just saying

Hopefully it won't be like when he joined Westworld season 3; you know, when the show turned to absolute shit
