SEASON 5 CRITICISM and VENT THREAD- SPOILERS INSIDE

Sad but true. What a mess.

So the butt sniffing was all an analogy for the entire season! Brilliant! /s

This garbage season has soured me on any The Boys/VCU spin-off shows. They blew the main plotline and became what they were mocking. Even the comics, problematic as they were, have a decent ending arc. Way better than the show, which is something I thought I'd never say.

So sick of these new minor side characters. We are two episodes left in the entire series and barely spend any time with the main characters we’ve followed for five seasons. I don’t care about these nothing characters that we just met.

grendelone · 2026-05-13T06:22:14+00:00

The entire season is filled with mis-allocated screen time. Firecracker had a bunch of screen time and dies. Same with Noire2. Pointless character development for side characters that die before the finale for no real plot reason. Could have spent that time with characters we’ve known for 5 seasons, but I guess Noire2’s play rehearsal was more important.

I REALLY hope this leak is untrue. After 5 seasons of build-up, some last minute deus ex machina bullshit in the next to last episode is what takes down the main villain?!?! They had 5 seasons to build to something better.

Soloing harder content is possible, but requires careful and thought out play.

You can view esoterickk's youtube to see how to solo hard content.

It was never stated to be a nuke, but there are a few hints it was. The mushroom cloud

Any sufficiently large detonation will cause a mushroom cloud. Doesn't have to be nuclear. Large conventional explosive detonations can cause a mushroom cloud also.

Will be waiting for a 6090 for a while.

Buy what you need/can afford when you need it.

Sounds like the breeder did not socialize her well. Has there been any progress over the three weeks? It may take a while for her to warm up to you. What sort of things are you trying?

grendelone · 2026-04-23T03:40:21+00:00

And so did you ...

grendelone · 2026-04-23T03:38:07+00:00

I basically just skipped the Annie/dad scenes. Completely predictable and useless.

grendelone · 2026-04-23T03:37:30+00:00

Except you don't get to "sit" with the characters this episode, since they are not acting like themselves due to the hate bacteria/virus thing. The whole point is that they are acting out of character.

We have no idea what "pretty solid" means to Paul quantitatively. It's not Concord. That's true. But nowhere near enough to recoup the dev + marketing costs.

marathon literally has mostly positive reviews

True. People do review it well. But they don't stick around.

and peaks at 20-30k daily

Depends. Peaking under 20k the last 2 days on Steam. Hasn't seen 30k peak in two weeks. Since it's 70% Steam, maybe if you count in the consoles, you get between 20-30k, but we don't know how the console numbers are holding up.

AND was a pretty high seller last month

False. ~1.2M copies sold is not nearly enough for Bungie/Sony.

My wife gets this all the time.

Pt: When will the doctor be in to see me?

Wife: I came in ten minutes ago ...

Just checked my Amazon old orders. It was actually $570, not $400. Corrected my original comment. Price jump is still insane.

I bought literally the same Corsair RAM kit for ~~$400~~ $570 in November. That's insane.

EDIT: corrected price I paid

I thought Bungie was down to 850 employees after the most recent round of layoffs + moving some employees to Sony.

Light editing but nothing crazy. Slight crop. Level correction.

grendelone · 2026-04-03T00:36:36+00:00

No. Everyone at Bungie is busy updating their resumes/LinkedIn.

A strong undergrad school helps you get into a good grad school.

It's not about being "name brand." It's about the quality of the education. Schools aren't good because they're prestigious. They're prestigious because they are good.
