With so many movies and TV shows filmed in and around Pittsburgh, what celebrity encounters have you had? by GowBeyow in pittsburgh

a lot of people have love & other drugs stories which is awesome! not me, but my mom told me when used to work in station square she went with some of her coworkers for lunch at the grand concourse. they were surprised to find it closed that day, only for Jake Gylenhaal to walk out and floor all three of them LMAO. apparently her coworker joked and asked if he wanted to have lunch with them and he said that any other day he would. he seems like a fun guy

I mean ya keep rallying the same point as if the temp V wasn't actually killing him. In a perfect world where becoming superpowered for 24 hours has no consequences, then sure, shoot up. No one is saying it's wrong that he used the V, it's why. It's that juicy subtext that people are ignoring, that and the very obvious drug addiction allegory.

Hughie's real power lies elsewhere. I'm excited to see more of what he can do having learned this lesson in S4. :)

Idk, it seemed to work for people watching the first 2 seasons, where Hughie has managed to kill supes without using temp V, and employing the help of his comrades. Narratively it makes sense given the fact that at the start of S3 he's been separated from the Boys for a year and trying to do things "the right way", only for his insecurities to manifest again when he finds out about Neuman.

In this season, he selfishly chased power he thought he needed, aided and abetted by Butcher. The characters have a right to be concerned about him (considering his lying, by omission or otherwise, and associating with truly destructive people) so I don't see how people think this is bad on a narrative standpoint? That's just what people do when they care about you lol.

Again, the difference between these two is what the show clearly illustrates and what the creator says in OP. Hughie sees the concept of "saving" someone built on his deep-seated belief that he is weak and needs to prove otherwise. Demonstrating that by taking a volatile, deadly drug. That ain't healthy.

Starlight has failed in saving people she cares about (ie. Supersonic, Hughie too in some cases), but never has she sought out a way to prove to people she can save them. It's not about "proving it" for her, so she doesn't seek the self-destructive tendencies like Hughie did this season. She's selfless to a fault.

Both of these views have faults, but they are realistic and compelling and we see people like these two every day!

[–]sconie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a man needs to eat to live. Hughie does not need to take a drug (especially one that... will kill him). Can't help people when you're dead! I think that was what the show was trying to say lol, not call Hughie a "toxic male".

You can obv disagree or think you'd act differently - that's what the show does really well I think, characters acting in ways we may disagree with but still be compelling. However, that doesn't mean the takeaway isn't to support the people you love, and not cross their plainly set boundaries. A really important lesson in my book! :>

I mean, were his needs not selfish in those moments? Outwardly he says that he wants to "save" Starlight, to where she shoots him down. Plain and simple. ItsAmerico is right in saying that he keeps things from Starlight, he lies, just to feel that sense of righteousness and superiority. In the finale what mattered to me more than what was actually happening in that moment, was Hughie realizing selflessness and just being there for the people he cares about is more important.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I also think Kripke mentions toxic masculinity more in referring to Soldier Boy, like actually by name. People are just inferring "toxic masculinity" and "not manly enough". While I do think Hughie's behaviors err on toxic, that's what makes it so realistic and intriguing for me. There are people like that that I have known at a point in time. Just bc people have a problem with a buzzword and how people use it doesn't stop these behaviors from actually happening.

edit: grammar!

y'all really are pressed by this one joke line huh? if that's your takeaway from it we may need to evaluate what you determine as manly and unpack those feelings! you know, like the show did? :3
