The Boys is basically an edgier version of The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2 (the show obviously copping from 2).

I just started watching this, and I've already binged most of season 1. All the guest appearances in episode 6 had me loving rolling. I'll be back after I finish the season.

That was....pretty good. Not mindblowing, but better than most gritty superhero runs. Though, I was kind of shocked how much was left hanging at the end of season one. I guess I've really been trained by other comic shows to expect a big climax and resolution from the seasonal plotline. This one must've blueballed the gently caress out of anyone who watched it without the follow-up season. I'll probably get to season two in a couple days.

My understanding is that actually working on the films themselves is fun, but absolutely anyone within the orbit of Marvel is just loving sick to death of them. Hollywood is even more of a social caste system now, and if you aren’t a part of the Disney money machine you’re seen as an “outsider” so people like Seth Rogen have lots to say. I also think Seth is a weird figure. I guess everyone knows and jokes about his weed use all the time, but even huge celebrity interviewers take time to chuff him about it and it’s like... I mean could you imagine if a big Hollywood writer or director went on the Tonight show and Jimmy Kimmel or Conan makes an obvious and heavy handed reference to your alcohol addition and drinking problems? It’s just weird that everything anyone says about Rogen is so couched in weed. Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Nov 7, 2020 |

Imagine thinking being an alcoholic and a weed smoker are even remotely similar. There's a reason one has a stigma and the other doesn't, you know.

In my next project I play a man who smokes so much weed he's able to telepathically project himself across time and space.  Why is this what everyone remembers about Seth Rogan?!Next up, let's ask Kevin Smith about comic books! FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Nov 7, 2020 |

It's not like there's a lot of distance between them.

what really got me with that episode was how prescient some of it was. Filming likely wrapped long before covid shut everything down and it wasn't until this summer that Ray Fisher came out and started speaking about the treatment of POC actors and characters on the set of Justice League after Snyder departed, and yet everything revolving around A-Train for that episode seemed pretty on the nose for what Ray has been talking about. then again I suppose that just goes to show how much knowledge Rogen and Kripke have from being in Hollywood for so long.

The one thing that always stuck out for me was: "Why doesn't Homelander just bully the CEO of Voight like everyone else? Why doesn't he just kill him when he gets angry, or at least choke him or murder his friends or SOMETHING." And then it dawned on me that Voight represented capital and Homelander represented America, and American interests have always uniquely bowed to corporate interests. So, there you go.

I mean, it's not like POC actors being demeaned and treated poorly compared to their white costars is anything new.

of course not, it was just a very surprising dove-tailing of "let's be honest about how lovely POC actors get treated, even as major parts of flagship productions" and everything Ray Fisher has said since Zach Snyder's Justice League was announced

It was pretty wild how he came out in support of palestine on some podcast like a few months ago. Even weirder that I haven't seen anyone talk about it Imagine anyone in the Disney nexus saying anything about israel

There's also the looming threat one day Homelander is going to snap and turn on the world. I'd be very surprised if Stan made it to the end of the show alive at the very least.

The one thing controlling Homelander is the thought of an appreciable people not loving him unconditionally. The instant Stan dies, Vought's whole PR apparatus disappears with him. Who would be there to tell him his approval ratings are back up 5 points? How would How would he know for sure that more people love him than hate him? It's a great depiction of the gnawing, empty neediness at the heart of a lot of would-be authoritarians. And strangely, Homelander at least seems to have a tiny bit more self-awareness about that than some real-world authoritarians we could surely name. But yeah, Stan's not making it to the end of the show and it will almost certainly be by Homelander's hands.

The muscle detail on that sculpt just reminds me how comically obvious it is that Antony Starr is wearing a padded muscle suit, and I want SO BAD for it to actually be Homelander wearing a padded muscle suit because he didn't get the power of being Totally Jacked along with super strength
