GoGoGadgetChris posted:As you pointed out, it's 2020, so kid gloves are off. Mods are held to high standards when they make a tremendous gaffe. Maybe reddit would be more up your alley since you can sort posts by number of UpVotes/level of hugbox? Clearly the stance of a sensible human being, yes

BurritoJustice posted:Starlight is going to get imprisoned, but we're yet to see how The problem with giving the tracker to someone is that they are actively looking for Starlight. If her tracker was still working, some rando Haitian King is going to get a Vought security team ripping them a new rear end in a top hat asking where the gently caress Starlight is. If it just stops they can't do that.

FilthyImp posted:Having Homelander turn when adulation is brought into it seems to run counter to his big bad moment saying he don't need no one. Stormfront's recruitment of Homelander is analogous to how a lot of extremist groups recruit members. American History X is a good movie that shows the process in more detail. I have a feeling Stormfront doesn't actually care about Homelander. She just wants to use him and spit him out after he's served his purpose. We've seen that she is a master at obfuscating her true intentions. She is one of the most fascinating villains I've seen in quite some time, and I can't wait to see how she meets her demise. There are so many possibilities, all of which would be just as satisfying, although I would be disappointed if Kimiko doesn't get her revenge. Binary Logic posted:Love that movie but he has no superpowers. IMO Hancock is closer to the spirt of The Boys - an out-of-control supe who gives no fucks.

Regarde Aduck posted:The only way to deal with situations like this is decisively. Either let him run riot or thread ban him. Not sure why you want a troll, at best, or an actual alt-right weirdo threading the needle of what will and won't get him probed. Or, stay with me here, we could all be adults. You guys are making this way worse than Bioshuffle is. Please listen to the mod and move the gently caress on already. Fionordequester posted:I will also echo the sentiments of other posters. Being allowed to troll at all sets a risky precedent. It means there's no incentive to stop. Yeah but dogpiling is just as bad to the thread as trolling is. We have times where bioshuffle stopped posting but people are inventing things "bioshuffle probably thinks that ______ " that's not productive to anybody. You're creating your own troll at that point. If you feel otherwise report him, but don't just keep making the same lovely nazi jokes over and over in bad faith, its threadshitting worse than the trolling is. If the mods okay with it, then either stop posting or accept it. If you really want to stand up to Fascism you need to go out and march or donate or do something; arguing with Bioshuffle about television show The Boys isn't going to make the world a better place.

I laughed a lot at the fancy wine goblets full of fresca at the church luncheon, also, I feel bad for the shockwave dude that flipped Hughie's van - it looked like he just hiccuped or something and his power went off, not that he did it intentionally.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Did Cindy explode that CIA lady's head remotely or did they have to cart her out there to crush her line of sight? Yeah I'm assuming that Cindy was the one who exploded the CIA lady's head, and I figured it was a remote thing. Which is something I was waiting for them to explain, so that's nice. A head-exploding supe was our main theory, along with bomb-implants. That kinda explains also why the boys heads' didn't explode, they just gave her a picture of CIA lady and said "use your powers" remotely or something. If she was actually there, why not pop all their heads? But if she can make people's heads explode remotely, goddamn that's powerful. I wonder if she could kill Homelander? Welp. Not now. kas posted:You are asking a LOT of the people in this thread, I'm sorry but you will only find disappointment and sadness at the end of this journey. Lol yeah, truth. For what its worth I'm gonna try to ignore it all from now on, but it just gets me that this thread is definitely making it worse, and then complaining that the thing they made worse is worse.

I don't understand how you can watch this show and still think that being a permissive enabler = "being an adult" Have you picked up on the fact that the show isn't really about 'What If Superheroes Were Jerks'??

I was really hoping the Fly from season 1 was a tiny robotic bomb they can pilot up your nose, and those scenes in S1 were them narrowly avoiding The Final Sneeze

What if they weren't watching her at that moment and but been trying to pinch her head for days and the timelines just matched up for perfect entertainment Waiting for her to have an epiphany seems like a lot of work to get a justified head pop

Pretty fun little thing there.  GoGoGadgetChris posted:I don't understand how you can watch this show and still think that being a permissive enabler = "being an adult" A permissive enabler of what? Talking poo poo about The Boys? This is SA dude, go look at GBS. People post much worse poo poo than that every single minute. Bioshuffle isn't the evil in this world. There's plenty of real evil around right now for you to fight against if you wanna do that. Or if you legit think Bioshuffle is a nazi or a troll, then talk to the mods. But just dogpiling in the thread isn't really accomplishing much, and in fact calls for him to respond, just dragging the poo poo out. Which, some people in this thread are probably doing on purpose. Are they "permissive enablers" too? Its all dumb.

Good episode. Felt like the editing was much tighter than what we've otherwise had this season. Starr is amazing and it's a goddamn miracle that they found his equal in Cash. Great chemistry. Edit: I really hope that the Boys don't get augmented with V. It's so much more fun when the writers have to flex their creative muscles.

It's so much more fun when the writers have to flex their creative muscles.  I find it a lot more interesting to see the Boys get creative, and have only Kimiko as their heavy hitter, plus a couple of supes they either have a rapport with or can exploit for help.LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 27, 2020 |

The driver of that car has a serious set of balls if they're picking up a hitchhiker from the middle of nowhere, near a mental hospital, and the person is wearing a patient outfit covered in bloodied bullet holes Or did Cindy explode the driver's head

Yeah I wasn't quite sure what to make of that last shot with Cindy, the way it was shot definitely doesn't imply that driver just changed his mind and pulled over but she does get in the passenger seat. Kinda gross but I guess maybe she popped him and needed to get in there to kinda scoop him out of the driver's side? She also twisted up the doors and stuff in the hospital so maybe she just forced the car to stop - not really sure how much fine control she has over her power. I guess if someone telekinetically brings your car to a halt on the side of the road and hops in you're probably just gonna give em a lift.

I dunno, she didn't seem like she wanted to hurt random people. The folks that are dressed like orderlies in the place that imprisoned and probably tortured her, sure. But not just Joe Random driving down the road. Also, if she popped him that car sure came gracefully to a stop at the perfect spot.

The actor looks a lot like Asia Kate Dillon yeah, who played an inmate on OITNB that was well-versed in early to mid 20th century German history and encouraged her fellow white inmates to show pride in their skin color  Interestingly, both Asia and Ess are non-binary but played she/her roles on OITNB and (seemingly) The Boys Cindy's actor is a contortionist who did some hosed up movements in IT (the part where pennywise comes out of the fridge in part 1, for example) so I fully expect Cindy to do something nasty this season

Bioshuffle posted:I don't think it's adulation, as much as "genuine" affection. Maeve showers him with praise too, but it doesn't work because Homelander can see through her charade. His first blowout occurs after it's revealed Stillwell has been using him like a pawn. It makes sense that he would cling onto someone who is willing to reveal all of her cards. BrightBurn is a little slow but once the super kid goes evil it picks up quite a bit. It's basically " What if Clark Kent was a loving poo poo head as a kid and actually used his super powers how a kid would use them".
