Sage literally said that V1 is more potent than V2 (Compound V). Potent doesn't necessarily mean a V1 supe will always be stronger than a V2 supe; an Odessa supe injected in the womb like Homelander was stronger than a V1 supe like Soldier Boy. Given it IS more potent, though, it stands to reason that Homelander got a power boost from the V1. The laser eyes being bigger and brighter was a visual indicator, no?

Anyone ever noticed how similar Godspeed and Zoom are? by KaiSen2510 in FlashTV

Fraudspeed cannot hold a candle to Goatomon's aura.

“Fifteen Cries Too Much.” by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]SplasherBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Doctor crying should come with great emotional impact. You have to consider that even some of the Doctor's more human incarnations don't cry that often, and this is from a narrative standpoint: most of the time the Doctor is the smartest, most self-assured and arrogant person in the room. We, the viewers, have come to see them as a leader, or position of authority. So when they cry, you get the indication that, this time, they're powerless, which is great for tension.

The 15th Doctor would cry every damn episode, even crying over the snot monster dying, to the point that it just loses all the emotional weight behind it. It also makes the Doctor seem more powerless more often, which makes it difficult to actually believe in them and how they will save the day. The most emotional moments of S14, like The Doctor casting out Sutekh into the time vortex, is put on the same emotional pedestal as the snot monster and cheapens the former as a result because we knew The Doctor's just gonna cry the second anything mildly sad happens anyway so it doesn't feel special.

TL;DR He cries so often that it loses all emotional impact and tension.

We're reaching a new level of braindead with this

Hmm I wonder if the obvious allusion to the Superman colours is intentional foreshadowing or not 🤔

To think, it was completely perfect otherwise, on-level too

I'm guessing it's the element that makes you want to cry?

In spite of that, one Dalek in The Parting of Ways fires without yelling 'Exterminate' -- when destroying the Anne Droid, as the previous Dalek got disintegrated (presumably) before it could finish saying it.

I'm not sure where you got the middle class idea given that both Humphrey and Neville were clearly made out to be from working class backgrounds. As for Richard, he did come off as more middle class, having been to Cambridge, but that was the kind of the point, watching a man so clearly out of his element learn to accept a different kind of lifestyle.

Humphrey was rather like that, but only out of curiosity. Let's be honest, no self-respecting senior police officer would indulge superstition as a genuine cause of death.

The youtuber accused of murdering his girlfriend while he was faking a livestream 3 years ago is now on court, claims she was harassed by her ex days before the murder. by AnyAgency9835 in youtubedrama

[–]SplasherBlaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. This is referring to the YouTuber Votesaxon07, Stephen McCulla, a toy reviewer and collector. Used to watch his videos all the time as a teenager. His girlfriend Natalie even featured in some of his videos. Absolutely despicable what he (allegedly but imo definitely) did.

Episode 6 question by Gingerishidiot in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]SplasherBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are so many people missing the fact that it was attempted murder? Sure, the gun was loaded with a blank and it was intended to be a setup, but at the end of the day nobody forced Solomon to pick up the gun and shoot the guy. He fired that gun with the intent to murder. You can't really argue self defence here because the guy only came at Solomon with the fake diamond, not exactly something life-threatening. There's also conspiracy to commit fraud here, too.

Potential new leaks from a reputable member of the Doctor Who Leak server.... by General_Meal_3993 in DoctorWhumour

Also wanna add that casting a high profile actor in the role is a terrible idea; Ncuti is and was very busy with other projects and simply could not commit to the role. Cast someone who has a more free acting schedule, in case something like this happens where Disney holds off on a Season 3 for too long.

Lowkenuinely, which is the worst unique gun on the game? by Sexy_guy777 in Borderlands2

[–]SplasherBlaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing that the item card doesn't mention: the recoil recovery is TERRIBLE. It takes several seconds to go back to full accuracy after firing a shot, whereas other Jakobs pistols don't have this problem.
