I trust the show to do better than that. That was one of the dumbest edgy things in the comics. They might wink at it, but I doubt it'll feature in every other scene with her.

The Love Sausage we got in the show was way edgier than the one we got in the comics, I don’t know what show you’re watching that isn’t schlocky and edge lord as hell.

Eh maybe but he was only in an episode and that lady in the comics was one-note for what felt like a dozen issues.

I legit feel like a guy who shows up for multiple issues as a huge cock russian knockoff Superman who says [REDACTED] a lot is more edgy than a non character with a prehensile cock.

I'm willing to be wrong though.

Yeah, the former is edgy, the latter is absurd.

Though the show has absolutely wandered into edgy territory -- e.g. Popclaw -- though I don't really mind.

Count me in as another person who got way into this show and went to check out the comics, only to find out that they're the kind of super edgy garbage only an angry 15 year old boy could enjoy. Even the art in the comics is pretty poo poo imo.

I have no idea how they made such a good show from that shite, but props to them for doing so.

I mean I am still enjoying them but lol yeah it's not at all hard to see why things were changed, Hughie in particular gets really obnoxious in the middle part of the story and even though he does get called out, he's just not that great of a character compared to Hughie we get in the show.

Thus far, the show has managed to make all the absurd and campy poo poo relevant and strangely poignant..

Except for Love Sausage. That scene was a little...why? What does this character and this concept contribute to this scene?

Meanwhile, "I can do anything!" developed the allegory and the character pretty well.

I can't imagine how you're supposed to sympathize with the protagonist if she finds a dude chained up in a bunker in the first act and then doesn't free him.

Even in the trailer it's a problem. Oh what issues will she uncover about her father's past? Who gives a gently caress let that guy out

Cmon, he's real creepy! And he won't say why he's been locked up!

I like the part where he says he's been down there for years and she says, "Years!?"

cmon the dude looks like a loving castaway, did you think he was only down there for a couple weeks?

And that would also be the correct course of action when six guys in skellington costumes assault you at the homecoming dance instead of doing a karate tournament about it, but sometimes things happen for Movie Reasons and we have to accept that.

Sounds like one of those movies that came up with 3 "clever" twists and worked backwards from there and applied some really rickety plausibility over it. FRT the initial premise seems like the easiest part to accept.

Jesus it makes no sense at all.

After she finds Pegg he explains that her dad locked him up down there because her dad ran over a pedestrian and Pegg helped him cover it up. Then Pegg leads her to a bunch of her father's secrets, like the pedestrian's corpse and also proof that he paid bribes to get his children into elected positions and had a second family.

She decides he's been wronged so she has her man-servant give him a bunch of money and charter him a private jet to somewhere he can disappear, but as it turns out he's actually a different person who's evil!

This evil man drugged and raped her mother 30 years ago! And is her real father!

When her father discovered this he drove the guy somewhere to murder him but accidentally ran over a pedestrian, so then he decided it would be better to just chain up the evil rapist instead of killing him? :confused:

Also, it turns out that Pegg killed her father using the very poison her father was going to use to kill Pegg. Because I guess after locking a guy up for 30 years you're like, "It's poison time!"
