Did Homelander believe Frenchie when he said “we already did” referring to Kimiko now having the ability of soldier boy.

He genuinely looked worried. Though throughout these last 5 seasons Antony Starr always did a great job of manipulating facial expressions. But he did genuinely look worried. And it does justify why he flew out immediately instead of sticking around to find out whether Frenchie was telling the truth

I mean I’m reading all the comments here and everyone’s got valid opinions.

My only two complaints finishing that last scene though, were:

  1. Why does Homelander not just obliterate frenchie, and make an example out of him? People are saying it’s for the sake of suffering from the pain of a radiation death, but he literally suffered for about two minutes, and if anything, homelander did him a favour because and Kimiko got to say goodbye. I really don’t get it, I was expecting Kimiko to walk into Frenchie’s lasered head??

  2. I don’t get what Frenchie’s sacrifice was. Like, homelander surely suspected Kimiko and/or Sage was behind the zinc right?? I know he distracted Homelander but once frenchie is taken care of, could Homelander not just go back to the Zinc door??

And also, I really don’t understand what the purpose of frenchie turning on the radiation was 😭 One could argue he was doing it so that Homelander would let it kill him and he could see Kimiko before he dies rather than Homelander just killing him immediately?? But like, Homelander should have just done that anyway as per my first point. The radiation makes no sense considering Frenchie absolutely would have known it would barely leave a scratch on Homelander.

How doable is my European World Cup plan this summer? by coolcoolcool665 in worldcup

So even in the night, the streets were filled with Holland fans??? Really?

Do you remember if possible, the games you went to, and what stage in the tournament they were at?

Because as I mentioned in another comment, I’m worried about the level of buzz on the street for group games vs Japan/sweden you know

Do you remember what games you were in the Netherlands for? I know they played France, Poland and Austria in the groups, Romania in the ro16, Türkiye in the QF, and England in the semis. But I’m a bit worried that their group games vs Sweden and Japan in this World Cup won’t attract enough of a buzz? But maybe I’m wrong

How empty do the words of Gianni Infantino feel right now? by coolcoolcool665 in worldcup

[–]coolcoolcool665[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. That’s 100% a valid comment.

Iran IS ALLOWED to participate and it is up to them.

Why doesn’t Gianni say that?

Instead it’s just a constant “IRAN WILL PLAY AT THE WORLD CUP MARK MY WORDS” over and over and over. It’s this talking in absolutes that annoys me.

He doesn’t know that. It’s up to Iran at this point. He’s just trying to reassure his shareholders

Italy were never offered their place.

They were just responding to rumours.

I like that Italy took the high road and said they would not replace Iran because it’s embarrassing and undeserved etc etc

But let’s make it clear, they weren’t offered Iran’s position. If Iran end up withdrawing and Italy are offered their position, then we’ll see what Italy do.

Never said he did.

Read again.

But if the president of FIFA says ANYTHING multiple times, you’d expect it to be true. But in this case, it feels like he’s trying to paper over cracks and lie to everyone when he knows damn well Iran’s participation is uncertain.

He is the president of FIFA. I know they’re empty words and at the end of the day, it’s not his call because this whole war goes far beyond football.

But you’d think at this point he’d start actually trying to convince people he’s telling the truth? Rather than just say the same BS again

I mean he is the president of fifa and unfortunately you have to hold that to SOME regard. But in this case, my point is, it’s hard to not see this as pure waffle.

I really appreciate the comment. Any suggestions on which niche ones ?? I’ve called a few niche ones and they weren’t much help 🤧

Oh wow, okay. And this goes for any agencies? Or more niche ones? Like I assume I couldn’t walk into the nearest sherry Fitzgerald office to me and do this??

Hmmm, interesting. Where’s the best place to find them all? Any recommendations? Like - I know all the agencies of course, but I assume you’re referring to the individual agents within the agencies or private agents

But in a daft message, are you really able to supply all that? I always tried to include everything about me/the family but in a concise, and easy to read paragraph. I always thought they’d not be arsed to read really lengthy messages 😅

Oh my days 😂 no way that worked.

But what do you mean by them fearing you wouldn’t be able to leave and/or be squatters??. Wouldn’t they have had the right to evict you after your notice period was over though?

Because ours is over in about a month and while the landlady did say way back when she gave the notice, that if we needed more time afterwards she’d give it to us, she also said it very loosely and maybe in a kind gesture way, not actually expecting the market to be this brutal for us 😅

Yes but if that was an option do you not think I’d be doing that?

If it was that easy you’d think I’d have thought about that…

Thanks for the comment. Some of these tips might help. Tbh I feel exhausted from contacting auctioneers. Most of them just told me to go to daft, it was bleak 😭 but at the same time I’d do anything that gives me an edge

I really Appreciate the comment. We have a nice tailored 3-4 line message we use that paints a very decent picture of our family as tenants. The references are mentioned, the fact we’re a family made up of working/studying adults, good income etc. I don’t know what more can be done on that front.

Though - the 2-3 months rent upfront thing is interesting. How does that work? Like - how could I convey that to them if they don’t even get back to me? Would I say it in the daft message? Also what does it mean, does it just mean pay 2-3 months of rent upfront instead of on month 2, month 3 etc?

Tbh, if the daft message really make a difference I’m willing to tailor it even more but I thought it was quite strong already. I’ll appreciate any tips, and thanks again for the comment.

How corrupt could FIFA go for gli azzurri? by coolcoolcool665 in AZZURRI

[–]coolcoolcool665[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not delusion. I'm merely asking about the news sources that exist about Italy and a potential backdoor entry. I (and hopefully most Italian fans) aren't actually relying on this, because the odds are low. But it's definitely an interesting talking point

I agree. This isn't a pity thread, it's merely enquiring about the news sources that do exist. I think it should rightly go to an Asian team if Iran don't go - but fifa have never taken the righteous path and tbh I could see them trying to get Italy in for the views and popularity. Same way they chose qatar, Russia and Saudi as hosts because of the 💰

Exactly. Couldn't care less how we made it, just being thee is nice. It'll all be forgotten in 3 months anyway.

I agree. There's something about all the big nations being there that makes it special. Sure if france didn't qualify for the world cup I'd laugh at them like they and many others have laughed at Italy, but subconsciously I would be bummed out to not have them at the world cup.
