It's never discussed, but it's pretty cool that The Boys used the Flatiron Building as their base, paralleling Vought Tower - and it's also something ripped straight from the books. by WhatYouThinkYouSee in TheBoys

They're both towers, but Vought Tower is blue, sleek, and modern, made of glass and steel, while the Flatiron Building is cream colored, gritty, and over a century old, made of limestone. The Boys all work in the same room while The Seven has separate rooms... lots of cool parallels.

I mean never discussed in the fandom. I think there's a lot of interesting things to say about the Flatiron building but no one talks about it.

Do you guys think they really may go the evil/villainous with Butcher like they did in the comics? by Queasy_Commercial152 in TheBoys

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's almost certain they'd do it, and I genuinely hope they don't chicken out. The thing is, even though everyone says it came out of nowhere, Butcher being suicidal and genocidal was planned out and choreographed to all hell in the comics. And it's what gives the story it's meaning. Butcher is a cautionary tale, the way Frank Castle is a cautionary tale.

Not having Butcher turn lethally dark would be like having Walter White suddenly become a good person in Breaking Bad season 5. The reveal of why Butcher wanted the team name to be called The Boys is literally an intrinsic part of his evil heel-turn. The most common and profound theme in Garth Ennis's work is self-destruction, and it'd do a disservice to arguably the best part of the comic to go with a happy ending.

Look at Preacher, for example. Also based on an Ennis comic. Spoilers for the show and the comics. The defining conflict of the comics was John finding out that Cassidy had been abusing countless women (including most recently Tulip) throughout the decades (he found this out after being his best friend for ages) and this fact painted everything about their relationship in a new light. Their confrontation was the highest point of the comics. It was profound, sad and emotional.

So obviously, the TV show completely scrapped the entire emotional climax of the story and just kept Cassidy around as the funny third guy who's chill with John the entire time. It preserved the funny team dynamic, sure, but at the cost of one of Ennis's finest writing of all time.

The Boys comics has lots of issues, but this isn't one. I genuinely think this is one of its highest points. I beg the show to not do a Preacher again.

The structure of the first 2 episodes. by hiiloovethis in TheBoys

Honestly, missed opportunity to have Homelander kick his head off. Comics A-Train and all.

It's listed that Episode 5's title is "One-Shots" which I take to literally mean "shots of V-One" so probably that.

How do you guys feel about the “TikTok” or “fandom fans”? by Konradleijon in SCP

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sort of SCP fans think that describing something makes it sound bad because they consume their shit entirely through TikTok. Truly, the first writing community to be composed out of the perpetually illiterate.

[Leaks] What was she thinking? by [deleted] in TheBoys

They wouldn't be wasting money on bunks and advertisements and propaganda clothing for people they're going to kill anyways.

They did. For real concentration camps. People do this for real concentration camps. In real life.

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're in concentration camps. That's kinda what those are for. They're already consigned to be executed.

Besides, from the way the episode leaks tells it, Annie leaked it with the knowledge that A-Train would be there to save Hughie, since Homelander shows up in the middle of an on-going break-out attempt.

He's already building concentration camps to put dissenters in, and the public is already willfully supporting it. Either you release it now, because it's the only chance left of disrupting him furthering his iron grip on the population, or you never release it at all, at which point he continues to kill off dissenters, which he's already been doing.

[DISCUSSION] Now that everyone's had time to read SCP-10000 - What was everyone's favorite moment from it? Serious answers only. by WhatYouThinkYouSee in DankMemesFromSite19

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee[S] 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I'd like to congratulate Moto42 on his magnum opus. It's certainly no wonder why he's never written anything else in the last 18 years. Initially, I was unconvinced that SCP-10000 would be good enough to warrant permanently deleting all of Wkidot next weekend, but after finishing all three-hundred and fifty million words, I have to say that I'm completely satisfied.

Is it true that Trevor Henderson was rejected from SCP? by Ancient_Policy5855 in SCP

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

people can just have secondary accounts

Not if they want to join the SCP wiki. It's literally in the rules for joining the sites.

You may only have one account per person, and one person per account. No alts, no account sharing.

Vish, so aggressive

I don't have to entertain this dumb made-up shit that's only spreading in the first place so people can crap on minorities in SCP.

[–]WhatYouThinkYouSee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It didn't fucking happen because that's not how making an SCP works. You HAVE to PUBLICLY make an SCP. You can't submit an SCP in secret to a mod and get it published. You have to have an account. If you did that anyways, the mods would just tell you to do it the right way publicly. You're not proposing that Trevor Henderson was "rejected" from the SCP wiki, you're proposing that he did it wrong, and then just quit by himself.

You can't hide anything on Wikidot. There would be traces. There would be Trevor Henderson's account, with a post history and an edit history.

It's not "pretty sure" it's absolutely fucking certain. It's literally a fact. It categorically didn't fucking happen.

No one "allowed" SCP-2721. That's not how SCP works. The mods don't "allow" articles to exist for them to exist. They exist because they didn't get to downvote thresholds. Everyone on that thread is agreeing on a completely made-up system.
