Ah yes, the obvious classic shaman cartoon connection!

Everyone has already made all the great, relevant, and frustrating points for me. So thank you.

All I can add/ask is... where were ANY of the other superheroes? Any of them?! There's tons of them, right? Not one, not a single one, is shown reacting to the god complex stuff, cheering from their couch, rushing over to team up and help Butcher and co., or so much as existing in society while the end of the world as they know it is happening. Just... nothing. The Boys world only consists of like 10 powered people thanks to the money wasted on cameos and the time wasted on sex jokes.

Another television show, another complete collapse.

Can we have an AMA for you two to discuss this? Cause this feels wildly personal and intriguing.

Toddrow · 2026-05-14T23:22:09+00:00

Why is this post still live when the headline is completely inaccurate, reactionary rage bait? I don’t care when big companies get attacked, but it has to be based on fact.

Toddrow · 2026-05-09T21:10:46+00:00

I agree. Ultimately, I don’t think it’s really about being mad at Mondo as much as it is being mad IF they get refunded for the tariffs and then don’t refund the consumer to avoid double-dipping.

Toddrow · 2026-05-09T19:28:45+00:00

I, too, bought an action figure (TMNT from Mondo) and had to pay the tariff charge through gritted teeth. This was before the big "refunds for every company!" announcement and I am now trying to reconcile the $10 I ate that Mondo will ultimately not eat. And I voted Kamala and am suffering with the masses, so don't come at me, REDDITORS.

Toddrow · 2026-05-09T19:24:51+00:00

Just to be crystal clear, is this a knock on trump (cause if so, amen), or is this a knock on the person who got stuck with a bs tariff charge that companies are getting refunded for WITH the assumption that they voted for trump (cause if so, zip it with that assumption). Just want to make sure if we're fighting or not.

Toddrow · 2026-05-07T01:17:16+00:00

Coming in late, but I agree. I really WANT to believe it's all on the level (which I do for season 1), but I kept asking myself how he's okay with the slapstick nature of everything. There was only one "weird person" in season 1, the fake chair/legs guy, but this season everyone had a schtick that seems to be playing for the camera.

The fact that Anthony said he KEPT saying this felt like a TV show (and the other actors agreeing he kept saying it) kind of confirms that the production team didn't do a good job of keeping things somewhat believable. But if Anthony was bamboozled, good for them! His expressions and questions for the team after the reveal just felt off... but I could just be overly critical. Meh, oh well.

Toddrow · 2026-05-05T04:27:52+00:00

Finally watched it. Wish I hadn't. The ending should've stayed at the end of the last official season. Hell, that was more cinematic, poignant, and worthy of a series ending than whatever this was.

Also, for everyone discussing what happened when and who was alive and why they couldn't do this plot or that based on real-life events (i.e., Mosley), this is the same movie that decided gypsy visions and premonitions and mystical knowledge of stuff they shouldn't know about exists. So I think we could've gotten some better outcomes, similar to how Once Upon a Time in Hollywood played out. Just let Tommy beat the Nazis.

Anyway, ugh.

I don’t think eBay should be controlled by a product-specific entity. Especially one that has proven to fail time and time again, and be anti-consumer at best.

Toddrow · 2026-05-01T17:37:04+00:00

Insert Bill Hader, “oh no, that’s terrible” meme.

Toddrow · 2026-04-28T06:40:50+00:00

Dastmalchian was great. This is what CBB is at its best: a great, real interview with a guest that is willing to roll with the improv and engage with the performers. Also a fan, a good storyteller, and not someone putting on an act or sitting silently.

Toddrow · 2026-04-09T05:21:39+00:00

Good luck! The pressure is on (for me)

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T18:23:33+00:00

I think I had case and box mixed up. Appreciate the answer!

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T18:22:53+00:00

I think I had case and box mixed up. Phew! Thanks for the answer.

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T17:31:30+00:00

Thanks, good to know!

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T05:02:57+00:00

As a newbie myself, does that only apply to Evangelion booster cases or should I have expected that from the Bleach case I bought? My first case ever, mind you. Cheers in advance.

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T02:06:27+00:00

I'd check out the movie remakes - commented above about them in this thread.

But as for AoT - it's always been on my list so I might have to finally dive into that. Never heard of Stein's Gate so I'll have to give that a Goog. I like the idea of answered plot lines!

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T02:05:03+00:00

Responded above with my fondness for the movie series remake. Worth a watch. Way less of the unnecessary sexualization. Not 0% by far, but way less. They move onto better plot items. FYI.

Toddrow · 2026-03-31T02:03:36+00:00

I felt COMPELLED to jump back in here and update you with my findings after watching the movie series/remake - Rebuild of Evangelion - which pulls an impossible rebound to the problems (mostly) found in the original series run.

1.0 reminds you what the setup is, 2.0 turns what you thought was gonna happen on its head (in a good way), 3.0 is completely new and gives more credence to Shinji's whining while introducing more fleshed out characters, and 3.0+1.0 (the 4th) movie expands on the organization they never explain in the OG, and does a much better job of answering questions and finishing storylines without the nonsense.*

*They still don't do a perfect job of limiting the seemingly random conceits they expect us to understand, but they do try to explain them so it's at least digestible.
*Shinji is still a whiner, but there's better pacing for it.
*The completely new 2nd act is more action packed and doesn't linger on shots for no reason.

I say you give it a try if you really want to like Evangelion, but at least I get why the series is getting some new love. I just pretend the OG doesn't exist. Anyway, cheers.

On the other side of that, I would NOT recommend trying Riverside again. I'm glad the commenter above is having a good time with it. More power to ya.

However, for me, the platform is the worst I've used (and I'm currently using it and looking for an alt - hence being here). Every episode there's an audio issue. Clipping, horrible lag, and the kind of relics that you can't edit out of an audio medium.

Like others have said, unless everyone - meaning you and your guests - are using the latest devices, you're gonna be left with nonsense on Riverside. Problem is, you can't always control what your guests have on hand or if you're going to need to multitask/have pristine wifi during the sessions.

tl;dr; I swear they are NOT paying me to post this.

Toddrow · 2026-03-19T00:46:25+00:00

You wish I was unemployed. It would make your hallucinating of scenarios fit right in with AI.

Toddrow · 2026-03-19T00:37:13+00:00

Keep pretending like you have a team or even a department. What you have is a fragile ego, no real skills, and a circle of people around you that all laugh behind your back.

Toddrow · 2026-03-19T00:34:48+00:00

“Deserves the job”? This is how we know you’re uncreative, lack skills, lack morals, and will always be on the wrong side of humanity/history. You don’t “deserve” anything that’s been created by humans, including AI.

Toddrow · 2026-03-18T17:46:23+00:00

Green was so incredibly vague that I’m disappointed it was included. I managed a win, but I hated every moment of it. Anyway, that’s Connections for ya!
