Bust Rodd posted:I also feel like we’re getting more out of MM from the first 3 episodes than we really got all last season. MM has this obviously loving, paternal energy that seems to have power over all the other men in the team. Everyone LOVES MM! The whole sequence with the whale to talking to Butcher was the best MM has been all show.

The only thing I will miss from the comics (since they went an incredibly different route plot wise and character wise), is Hughie taking a poo poo in tek knight's batcave thing, since he code locks the bathroom door for some reason. I can't really think of a singular other thing in the comic series that was worth all the other dumbass EDGEDOM crap they threw around.

Ennis - probably to coincide with the new season - has put out a new series called "Dear Becky" that follows the events of the original GN. It's not getting very good reviews, though: https://graphicpolicy.com/2020/06/03/review-the-boys-dear-becky-1/ BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Sep 7, 2020 |

Xenomrph posted:I just got done reading the comic series and this hits hard. It's a brilliantly timed piece of writing. Frenchie is touching the Female when he says it, and she doesn't let anyone touch her. In fact, I'd say that the entire relationship between those two is the best and most subtle thing in the comics. The scene where they're alone together when Frenchie goes to collect the Female after she performs a hit and he brings her back to normality with a bag of chocolate limes. Butcher thinking they're nuts for playing stupid games when it's actually an inversion of the relationship in Leon - Frenchie is trying to help the Female be a child for a little while because she never had the chance. They are clearly going down that route in the series, with Frenchie teaching her to read and write, just without him being a loony about anything that isn't her. If it goes all the way to the original end it's going to be a huge emotional payoff.

Even though epi 3 leaves Hughie as a little less obnoxious, I still want to see his head explode (repeatedly, as a time loop).

I was like "wait, what?" when a character named Stormfront appeared and that reaction proved to be completely founded but I thought it was interesting that her name being a dead giveaway was seemingly a result of being extremely online as my sister had never heard of it and was taken by surprise by the character's racism. To be honest I didn't actually study her costume enough to notice the nazi components of it until I saw it pointed out and then went back and yep, there's the SS earrings and eagle belt.

You can't have a character named Stormfront, who was a nazi in the comic, and not make her a nazi.

In the comics its a guy who speaks with a German accent so its even more on the nose. What's fun is Stormfront's costume isn't really all that different from Homelander's.

Sorry, that was pretty lovely. I feel like we're really stuck on Stormfront's presentation and parallels with Homelander. E: to help pull up a little bit: I thought the small "no, doesn't matter" from Eagle the Archer while bailing out Deep and getting mis-identified was a great touch. I wonder if the scientologists-analog will wind up being a major player. boo_radley fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Sep 7, 2020 |

I wonder if the scientologists-analog will wind up being a major player. The part where Eagle said something like "who attacks guys with TEC-9s with a bow?! But archery is timeless!" and the religious lady was mouthing the words "archery is timeless" right as he does, that was great. Really good parody of the whole Hawkeye being in the Avengers thing. E: Oh, also its real quick, but you can see when The Deep writes down his self-description when he's taking the "test", he mentions his "incredible lung capacity".

Oh, I just remembered the one question I had. So... Raynor puts 2 and 2 together and is instantly sniped or something because Vought can't let some info get out... But then The Boys are allowed to just... leave? How does that work? I guess we'll find out later but just seems kinda weird and they should themselves be questioning this more? Its not like they got out of there super fast, a sniper definitely could have killed more of them.

Apoligies for bringing it back to Stormfront (like... her character is total cspam/goon bait lbr), but here's an article on Entertainment Weekly about her. Turns out the showrunners are as extremely online as y'all.quote:But then the writers room took further inspiration from alt-right trolls on social media and platforms like Reddit. For better or worse, they all fell down "a lot of white supremacist rabbit holes," which Kripke called "horrific."

But its not like that was homelander lasers. So I guess some other supe? But then again the question, why not the boys? But I guess its meant to be an obvious mystery. Just seems like the boys should discuss how loving weird that was.

Yeah the only thing that makes sense as to why the boys wouldn't be immediately attacked is if it was some kind of remote device specifically targeting Raynor. Like Vought has explosives implanted in all CIA agents necks or something. But the timing is still pretty suspect, like, they'd have to be listening in?
