Buy some ethyl acetate, or acetone, or whatever! You have the guy in a small room, just dump ten cans of acetone on the floor and shut the door. He'll be dead in half an hour. But noooooo Well yes, but dumping some acetone and leaving isn’t as cinematic as what happened

his diamond skin should have acted as a puncture-proof bodybag based on his power, but is any of that is as funny as an explosive suppository though?

But noooooo Oh come on, be fun with it. Open up a nitrogen tank, he'll sit there talking and bitching right up until he drops unconscious and never realize what's going on. The autopsy wouldn't even say what happened, he'll just be dead. Though they did say someone tried that with a different supe in the past and it didn't work for some reason, but they didn't go into details.

The horrifying reality would have been blood gushing out of every hole god put in his body while it distends into a spherical shape, but like kripke said, never let reality get in the way of fun.

Some guys in Russia killed themselves by dumping dry ice into an indoor swimming pool. If only the writers had seen that video before they wrote the first season. Their deaths could have put some good into the world.

They mentioned that he was immune to asphyxiation as it was tried by a terrorist group in the past. So I guess they just skipped the gas ideas? Also arse-bomb lmao

So I realized today just how much of a complete moron The Deep is. I've been re-watching the show and remembered when he was telling Stillwell how he wanted to do more to save sea life, he mentioned the Japanese dolphin killing festival from that really sad depressing documentary. Well I realized at work today he doesn't even need to stop the fishermen from killing all those dolphins because he can talk to the dolphins directly. I mean, he could tell the dolphins to warn the other ones to stay away from that particular bay- but assuming they aren't reliable enough to pass that info on (seems like they wouldn't be) he could just take vacation time just before the festival, rent a boat, park it in international waters (I'm assuming he has a limit on how far/fast he can swim- otherwise just rent a hotel in South Korea and swim from there) then just sit underwater outside that bay and warn the dolphins with whatever the dolphin language equivalent of "get out of here or they'll kill you!" is. If they can't round up any dolphins to capture or kill every year for a few years, it'd just be a matter of time till they called the festival off completely. And no one would have any idea The Deep was even involved.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, in the comics at least there is a huge disparity in profits between the various members of the seven between the A-listers - Homelander, Maeve - and the rest (as the Translucent equivalent is quick to remind everyone in the first Seven meeting we get to see). They are still all very rich, but it's the difference between a random bench warmer and a star player in a major league team. Also the one thing the Seven are much kept under tabs by Vought is PR - even more now with social medias being so much more pervasive than when the comics were written.

I was very surprised when Ashmore turned out to be that character, as I had seen him described only as "a mysterious figure connected with the Seven" and that he will be working with the Boys at one point.

They all had contracts and it sounded like it was similar to Hollywood actor stuff. They get percentages of profits, like from movies and merch, and some of them were smart enough to get better lawyers or have better sales. The Deep is probably pretty low just because his main thing seems to be not-Seaworld and the occasional movie. Translucent seemed to have a pretty huge franchise he headed even if he wasn't one of the big 3, same with A-Train and sponsorships.

I think Deep expected the company to put him up in some fancy place and was upset when he saw it was just like a normal hotel room and treated him like a lower class employee for his gently caress ups. They probably have their meals cooked for them in the big tower and stuff like that. Now Deep has to do his own grocery shopping. It's a punishment for him. He probably does have a lot of money, maybe not as much as A-Train or Translucent, but he still did advertising and stuff.

I could see them being financially beholden to Vought, the same way BoyBand members are hosed by their contracts so they can't get big and strike out on their own. PopClaw was in a few B-grade films and a Jr league and she still had to do the equivalent of the ComicCon Fan Hustle. She wasn't living big.

If this were on the same level as the AMC Preacher adaptation I would say definitely but this show isn't campy enough to get away with a racist Irishman named Blarney Cock coming back from the dead and being compelled to get his hamster that he kept shoved up his rear end while alive. This show definitely doesn't embrace as much of Ennis' wacky stuff as Preacher did.

We don’t know what led up to mallories grandkids getting torched, and it obviously happened in a different way to the comics where the boys and the seven are aware of each other and in Cold War because of it. And him “retiring” at the start of S1 but being completely absent is too suspicious to make me think he’s still alive

And him “retiring” at the start of S1 but being completely absent is too suspicious to make me think he’s still alive Somebody on Reddit pointed out a still of him in front of the new version of the Seven statue, the one with Starlight in it. So that scene at least isn't a flashback. I figure he's either a pyromaniac psycho who's coming back cause he's eager to get a second chance to finish off The Boys (and was "retired" because he's dangerous and unstable) OR he ISN'T a terrible person, torched Mallory's grandkids by mistake (or they're still alive, they didn't even find their teeth) and he's working WITH The Boys like that other rumor said... I never read the comics so I don't know. Personally I lean towards the first one, and LL will basically be like Translucent- the first supe they kill this season.

Preacher was so loving good I’m bummedI watched that show in Isolation, the thread was already long dead by the time I finished and the last 4 pages were just people being sad about the TV show’s ending. If nothing else it has some Oldboy//Daredevil Hallway style fight scenes that should be studied by action directors and stunt men for years to come. Please god just let Garth Ennis die before he gets cancelled. Save me one weird dude to like. I always knew Ellis was a schmuk, please let Garth be good!

I finally got around to watching this and it was amazing.I feel like this is one of the rare times where a finale is actually good. Even in the comics butcher was always a sociopath who reveled in violence. What happened to his wife was tragic but it always feel like it was just an excuse to go back to what he loves best, loving people up/over. Totally taking that excuse away by making it so that homelander might not have even wronged him is a amazing hook. With how well this show is doing I wonder if anybody will try adapting Irredeemable. You could base an entire show on 'how do I kill this invincible monster' [e] I still miss comic stillwell though. It's pretty amazing how he was still the most sociopathic monster at the end of the day despite just being a suit. DrManiac fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Aug 15, 2020 |
