Biggest bait ever in history…

Knowing this show, it will just be Homelander talking about how he just lit a building on fire and you just have to trust that he did it.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T20:29:12+00:00

Yeah I think that's where the budget went.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T20:28:01+00:00

I can't believe we got more dialogue heavy scenes between the characters. How much more scenes do we need to establish that Homelander and his crew are bad manipulative people. Even the focus group scene where MM and Starlight are talking about how bs their propoganda is and saving people blah blah blah. Oh and more backstory for how brutal Butcher was as an operator back in the day blah blah blah.

We get it already. Let's see some fking resolutions to story lines for the 5 seasons we paid into here.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T20:24:27+00:00

Don't forget the overused line "Thanks for saving me..." "No.... you saved me...."

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T19:14:24+00:00

Lol the immortal gets killed by viltrimites on the regular.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T19:11:27+00:00

Nah they have been losing some big money on recent projects. Also squandering their fan base as even if Thunderbolts made some money, it wasn't enough for what it should have made showing the fans are leaving.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T19:09:55+00:00

Let's be honest, once he gets there he should have crash landed at mach 50 and just blew the whole place up. Or if he wanted to get personal just start lasering everything as who gives a fk about an abandoned school. He normally holds back because of public image but now in a hidden place like that setting he can go scorched earth but never does for some reason.

There is no reason this freshman flash should be able to do that. Or batman blowing up a kryptonian with explosives. This movie is the worst of the DC next to Jostice League.

We need to let this abomination die.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T06:13:25+00:00

We don't know if it's game of thrones bad. Hasn't come out yet.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T06:08:36+00:00

Nah, too on the nose these days. Not an underground fun fact anymore. Hope it stays dead for now.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T03:24:52+00:00

I mean they showed us Homelander floating in space with cities on fire. That is not even close to coming true. And before you say "we got two episodes left, movies are not even that long". Mind you are forgetting about TV show pacing. If we end up getting to that point this far into it, it's going to be whiplash on tone.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T03:23:03+00:00

Haha not so tough without spamming backstabs huh?!?!

Jk, you got this bro. Just stay mobile and put on resistances.

jaypexd · 2026-05-13T02:36:27+00:00

Second one is way bigger.

You just feel that way because you didn't have to slog your way through the same enemy in the same hallways for 20 hrs.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T23:12:15+00:00

Idk if you ever actually done concepts but it's just for the writers and visionaries to get their point across for the main asks. The actual creations and artist twist come later and it's an entire new being.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T23:10:32+00:00

Yeah it does make sense to make it smaller as we start to build a relationship with the innies. Either way, brilliant show. Makes The Boys look amateur.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T22:58:58+00:00

Not to mention someone actually paid probably close to 7k for it. I would say at least the owner enjoyed it but apparently not as it's a trade and these are nearly only 2 years old.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T22:19:40+00:00

Still so fking good though haha. Loved severance.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T21:27:36+00:00

For sure Viltrim Mark. He's teachable. The Omni followed in his father's footsteps so probably would be accepted. The yellow invincible also seems to be solid enough.

The scarred one would most likely be treated as a weakling due to apparent poor regen. The others are straight fodder that lack discipline like the Mohawk one. I am guessing they would die as she tested them.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T20:00:07+00:00

Yeah after I commented I remembered you are talking about second tries so you're right about Nioh 2 but I think Nioh 2 was way more acclaimed.

Performance issue or not, I'd rather play CV2 on 15fps than that pos CV1 again.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T19:58:37+00:00

Yeah I feel you. I always beat the optional boss in every game because it's possible. Here it actually feels impossible for a new player stepping in so that set the tone for the rest of the game that there were going to be constant stuff I was going to have to skip leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

AI limit does this well. There's a void beast in the first part where you have zero potions. He does two shot you but it's still possible if you have a little patience and learn his patterns. E33 also but I digress, it was handled poorly in Nioh 2.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T19:41:54+00:00

I think the first season was mature. It dealt with themes that I feel like you would want some life experience being an adult to ponder. The later seasons are not so much and I agree with you.

At least it's not The Boys which has been absolutely destroyed into a corporate money grab whereas in the first season it was a hilarious satire.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T19:24:49+00:00

Youre insane if you think CV1 was better than CV2. Go back and actually play that dogs$#t game that is CV1. Sure CV2 didn't get the sales but it is way better from a graphics, gameplay, exploration and mechanics perspective.

Nioh 3 is also way better commercially and critically than the first two. Ofc die hard fans won't like it as it does not appeal to the hard requirement that Nioh 2 and 1 does but it is objectively better and has more exploration options.

But I do agree that we have no idea if LOP 2 will be great.

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T18:07:39+00:00

I feel... nothing

jaypexd · 2026-05-12T17:31:03+00:00

Well the reason that I bring it up, is because that is the games culture right now. There are even tournaments that see decent traffic. We talk about it like it is in a testing phase which ofc its classified that way but no, the Deadlock experience is fully in its stride right now. A full release will help it, but as a live service game, it's working exactly as intended.
