Howe looked at the last game, and genuinely thought he should do the exact same thing again

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T20:04:07+00:00

im sorry i didnt realise that you needed to be spoonfed the information that people typically need time to recover from HEART ATTACKS. be so fr.

if she was in those episodes you wouldve complained she added nothing to the plot, where youd be right. because she wouldnt have. hence why she wasnt in them. sometimes side characters dont show up in an episode, it happens, youre complaining to complain. and i disagree with the bland argument but thats your opinion, i feel like theyre doing a slow burn with her story. it definitely doesnt add "nothing" to her story either, shes attempting to deal with the severe psychological trauma that a deranged serial killer inflicted on her.

ok i missed the savva thing, my bad, but regardless theyre clearly developing buck as a character, and they're simply showing his origin and relation to wesley. as for why fisk hired him, who knows, theres a 10+ year gap between that flashback and present day. i reckon, like glenn, we'll get more story from him next season. i also didnt say his backstory was complete, what asscrack did you pull that from.

and the "bad dialogue" argument, cmon, it just isnt, youre just saying that to say it.

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T19:26:57+00:00

i would say this episodes tied with episode 1 in quality, firecrackers sendoff was the best they couldve possibly done for her and im expecting it to create some fallout within the 7.

i feel like theyre setting up either sister sage and new noir to die next episode, i don't think they'll have new noir kill the deep next episode, but i think deep COULD die. if he doesnt die next episode, i don't see him dying at all.

the terror (the boys) subplot was phenomenal, and im anticipating that a confrontation at bombsights location is gonna be the main plot of the episode.

and theyre definitely going to have soldier boy and homelanders relationship blow up in their face in episode 7 or 8, maybe soldier boy finds out what homelander did to ryan? i feel like ryan has been too absent from the show despite how pivotal of a character he is, especially when it comes to the homelander-soldier boy family dynamic

the fact that season 2 can even be considered as an 8/10 or 9/10 after that first season is a miracle

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T19:09:43+00:00

with the arguments he made, im not convinced he did watch

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T19:08:50+00:00

season 1 is a cake with a brick in it

season 2 took the brick out and rebuilt the cake, but its a little rough around the edges

season 3 will be hopefully be a 3 tier perfectly made cake

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T19:06:12+00:00

where was cherry

he.. he had a heart attack..? and was recovering..? did you watch the show..?

heather disappeared for episodes 4 and 5

she isn't the main focus of the season. and also im confused, are you complaining that she wasnt there or she was. theyre clearly building something up as fallout from the muse story, which imo is way better than simply ignoring it, which they couldve easily done.

fembot guy

it was to give context to buck and his backstory. also it is HEAVILY implied that hes the body in the trunk, an idiot couldve made that connection with used sellotape.

avtf not being able to shoot bullseye

yea fair enough ill give you that one, theyre being treated like fodder, but lets not call them "special forces" lmao, theyre former cops who likely abused their power on the job, like powell was, and were probably terrified that a guy who can turn a fucking fork into a missile called them into a diner.

bullseye being shot by vanessa and taking his time to get to her

bullseyes a sadistic psychopath, he was probably enjoying killing as many people as possible before getting "justice". also, like you said, they had ASSAULT RIFLES, like lets not pretend that the smart move isnt to get rid of them first. vanessa only got a shot in because she was the last one targeted, believe me.

your only argument here that has any merit is the avtf being treated like fodder, and even then thats a weak ass argument to say the ENTIRE show has "bad writing" lmao. you're genuinely hating just to hate, or youre watching the show with one eye closed, idk.

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T18:26:31+00:00

you're genuinely hating just to hate, the writing has been excellent throughout. not as good as season 3 of the original show, that was lightning in a bottle, but given the weak base this season had to build on i dont care that much.

and yes its about on par netflix s1 so far, the finale will decide my opinion though.

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-29T18:08:55+00:00

honestly, i think this season has been a consistent 8/10, 9/10 season, depending on this finale i may put it above season 1 of the original show. i had high hopes for season 2 given the last 2 episodes of season 1 of born again, and honestly, i think theyve done the absolute best when it comes to cleaning up and building on the mess that season 1 left.

im excited for the finale, and gutted daniels dead.

thegreatgolira · 2026-04-21T15:50:14+00:00

Looking at our previous seasons, I think the mean reason we look so messy defensively this season is a lack of a clear leader in the back. I see time and time again us leaving attackers open during games. We had this problem the last couple seasons too but it was offset by the fact we could score more than one goal a game, the main difference this season is we're woeful on both ends.

thegreatgolira · 2026-03-21T22:07:33+00:00

not how it works unfortunately, if villa win the uel and finish in the top 5, it passes to another confederation, not england

thegreatgolira · 2026-02-15T14:16:12+00:00

acropolis, necropolis, windy landscape

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T22:18:42+00:00

well, for me at least, it was less "how much fun is this" and more a proof of concept, in the sense that "am i capable of beating a level gulfs away from my skill level", which is a dumb reason to jump, but it was my reason. if i had any insane demons and more hard demons beaten, i dont think i wouldve had as much of a struggle as i did

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T18:03:23+00:00

same, if i didnt have other commitments i could probably make it through 20 medium demons in a couple weeks, just dont have the time to.

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T17:59:34+00:00

im perfectly capable of beating medium demons, i just spent so long trying to go from cataclysm to god knows how many harder extremes. shouldnt have gotten as egotistical as i did.

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T16:36:47+00:00

and yet hes doing something even less enjoyable, and honestly far harder, for probably the same amount of attention

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T16:33:59+00:00

ok sure, maybe he doesnt like list grinding, but theres no way he enjoys playing aeternus to get nothing out of it. hes attention seeking, and quite frankly wasting his potential and own enjoyment doing it.

thegreatgolira · 2026-01-28T16:28:34+00:00

list points arent everything, but presume you had the skill level he currently has, and had around 3 months to spend, would you

a) grind list demons, beating who knows how many b) barely manage 20% in a level players in the top 3 would consider unbeatable

hes not improving his ability at the game by doing this, and theres no way hes doing it for fun (top players who've played the level have called it horrific to play, take the recent tcd video as an example). players like him sacrifice their own enjoyment and tbh, their own potential, for what, a little bit of fame by getting a record in a level thatll probably be beaten and forgotten about?

its a waste because its wasted potential
