Eric Kripke has confirmed that Cindy and Ryan will both be in S3. Report is on GamesRadar if you want more details, although there isn't much.

LMAO. I had forgotten about this scene and folded it into the one with Stormfront talking to Ryan, where he has a similar reaction.

Thundercracker posted:Lol, if her eyes hadn't gone white. It'll be 100 pages of goons arguing if she was the head popper until season 3. This is it. This is the answer. The cloudy eyes were just a way to tell the (typically dumb as gently caress) audience that yes she is the one popping heads with super powers. And yes all it takes is some cheap contact lenses to cover it up. It's amazing how much people intentionally try to ignore the facts presented on the show because they hate the idea that there is one less thing to speculate on for the next year.

I first thought Cindy from Sage Hollow was maybe the same actress and we had an identical twin situation so I'm in no position to mock anybody.

You ever see The Simpsons episode "Faith Off"? Just put a bucket full of glue on top of a door that's slightly ajar, and then call AOC into the room. Door opens, bucket falls and gets glued to her head. Checkmate.

BetterLekNextTime posted:She's got to be working for Vought Corp, right? So far she's (presumably) splatted the CIA agent who was going to work with the Boys trying to take down Vought, the the witness in a hearing where Vought secrets were going to be spilled, and the cult leader who has dirt on a bunch of Vought supes. The case for her working for Vought is strong, but I'm leaning towards her being independent: 1. Why Shockwave? Vought had no plans to rehire A-Train at the time. Killing Vought employees might have been to deflect blame, but killing a Supe while the rest of the Seven stood around confused on live TV would seem to badly undercut the narrative that "the only thing that can stop a bad guy with powers is a good guy with powers." 2. She spares the Boys after the Deputy Director has just fingered Vought in front of them. Maybe that was because of limitations on her power, but later she meets Mallory, the Boys, and their star whistleblower (whom no one else knows exists yet) at a private home. Even if she couldn't personally kill them, why not text Edgar to send over HL or a SWAT team? Why not kill Mallory at the hearing?

Head popping could be effected by range since we can assume she popped the deputy directors head from a farther distance than any other popping on screen and she was the only one with the nose bleed. Could be her eyes only get cloudy from a certain range. Also who gives a poo poo.

I mean, if your super assassin killed everyone in the first 10 minutes you wouldn't have much of a show. The Compound V news didn't end up harming Vought, so maybe they were planning to release that info to the public anyway... or it would be better PR for the Seven to take down this dangerous terrorist cell rather than have it done incognito. Maybe they just didn't have time to show this, but it seems like if there was a mysterious rogue actor supe who was knocking off Vought supes and high government officials, Vought would have made a much bigger show of going after them or protecting people. Heck, most of S1 was scouring the earth for whoever killed Translucent, and nobody in the public even knew that happened.

Defiance Industries posted:Having flashbacks to people in the theater after Fury Road saying "so what was wrong with the water? That guy said people could get addicted to it" My favorite go-to for this kind of thing was Inglorious Basterds and the dozens and dozens of posts in various places asking "what gave away Lt. Hicox in the basement tavern scene?" when the very next scene had a character literally describe and visually demonstrate, in the middle of the screen, what had given him away.

What the gently caress? The movie literally explains it to you. With hand signals and everything. In my favorite scene in my favorite Tarantino movie. (The whole thing, not just the explanation.) People are loving stupid.

Sarcastro posted:There's a reason that's my go-to for "people are loving stupid [about movies/TV]". It was truly stupefying. Anyone here who follows The Boys thread knows how dumb audiences can be, even ones that actively post on social media and message forums about the thing they just watched. The thread recently concluded that what seemed like a visual inconsistency/plot hole for the season cliffhanger was actually specifically designed to spell out what happened and who did it. That without that inconsistency, too many people would have asked, "wait, who did it?" They needed the benefit of what was basically a giant arrow pointing at the character with the text "they did it!" I hate being vague, but I want to avoid spoilers since it's so new. People have terrible memories and view things as mistakes in writing rather than mistakes in viewing. Edit: I watched Inception with an ex girlfriend who was seemingly lost throughout the entire movie. I wound up spending the 15 minute ride home explaining the entire damned thing to her, including what the top at the end meant. Prowler fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Oct 13, 2020 |

This thread is nothing compared to The Office threads. We had one idiot in here, those threads would have about five or six people per episode being confused by something or totally misreading a situation. Or arguing about how snow looks, or CGI cheeseballs, or if it was a bike chain or a bungee cord. I aquit.

I could see how it makes sense with The Office, a lot of the humor there is based on social cues and awkwardness, and lots of goons/other internet people are very socially inept. But not getting how the hand gesture in Inglorious Basterds gives the guy up is baffling to me.

I was always a big fan of the "Shannon was stabbed" Lost nonsense. I think it's only gotten worse over time as more and more people spend 90% of the time watching shows by staring at their phones and rushing to post the hottest takes they can think of while missing a bunch of poo poo.

Personally I think the head popper was actually the church guy, and he was trying to "pop" his Fresca can in frustration after what the Deep said about Fresca. He ended up popping his own head beacuse notAOC's power is actually "imrubberyourglue" which turns any power used against whoever she focuses on, so church guys ends up popping his own head. This also explains why her eyes didn't turn white during the court scene! I've thought of everythingggggggggg

Not really the same thing, but Twin Peaks (as a series, the thread here was pretty great for season three) has a lot of people that try to "solve" the mystery or figure out why Deputy Hawk is wearing oven mitts even though Lynch consistently tells people there's nothing to figure out and he just does stuff to make scenes feel specific ways. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the worst part about being a fan of David Lynch is David Lynch fans.

Yeah, I assume most of the bizarre misunderstandings are from people just literally not watching the show because they're too busy posting about the show or doing something else entirely on their other monitor. This was especially annoying back in the old days of TVIV where the big shows had threads for each episode but half of them were just goons liveposting "WHOAAA!!" or
