Noam Chomsky posted:TV writers really need to stop having a character attempt to get another character to kill someone under duress. Frenchie doesn't want to kill anymore, Nina is trying to get him to keep killing through intimidation, ergo kill Nina. She doesn't even walk around with guarda. It's not like Frenchie hasn't killed before. I assume she just has powers we haven't seen yet. Moreover, maybe I missed it, but why does she need Frenchie to do it? If she's got goons who will kill Frenchie if he doesn't comply, then send the goons to kill whoever in the first place. What would she have done if Frenchie hadn't happened to blow into town?

the first episode power levels were introduced they were rendered null and void, that was the whole point of them. that it was dumb garbage for babies. if homelander is the strongest superhero why does he not simply eat the other superheroes.

Even then, it took an attack from someone stronger + Goku sacrificing himself to pin him down + A new technique Piccolo effectively pulled out of his bum (since we're not made aware of it until we're already in the middle of the fight) just to manage it. Power is almost everything in that show--which is probably why Freeza's PL of 1,000,000 is the last time Toriyama ever gave specific numbers.

Can't believe how dumb the last few pages have been "Show don't tell" is idiotic pretentious trash for nerds. The show didn't show us all the ways people have tried to kill Translucent before. He told us in a couple sentences and that's all we needed. That's just one example of when the show has done that. Sometimes showing is a waste of time and this show doesn't waste time You don't need to show how powerful Homelander is because he's very clearly an analog to Superman and almost everyone else in the Seven is an obvious analogue to someone in the Justice League. All you have to do is look at Homelander for a few seconds and go "oh he's Superman and I know about all Superman's powers because he's arguably the most famous superhero ever". You don't need to show him being pushed to his limits. As someone else said, showing how powerful the other supes are and then showing us that all of them are scared of Homelander is all we need. Plus sometimes things are better left to the viewer's imagination Frenchie doesn't kill Nina because, as I mentioned before, they don't need to show you how far her influence reaches. She straight up says she has multiple contacts at the Kremlin. She has an insanely terrifying network of powerful people. The audience does not need to see her talking to a Putin analogue or whatever If Frenchie kills Nina he's not free. Someone else in Nina's network will come after him and Kimiko and will never let them feel free and safe "Show don't tell" is a poo poo concept. Sometimes showing is better and sometimes it's better to have a character just say it in a couple sentences. And then believe the character instead of immediately jumping to "what if they're lying?!?!?!?!" Goddammit people

Elephant Ambush posted:Can't believe how dumb the last few pages have been Regarding the point with Homelander--what's the particular harm in subtly demoing his durability even to things that would normally bypass indestructible skin? You can say it's unnecessary, and I'd agree to an extent--Homelander is still a terrifying villain. But, what do you actually lose? What harm is actually done to the show? Something poured in Homelander's milk, a knife in his eye... Or heck, have him quickly fly Ryan to the moon to show him how cool outer space is. Why the resistance? You've explained why it's unnecessary, but not why it would make the show worse.

They literally showed all these things— including the knife to the eye— during the Soldier Boy experiment videos in the last episode. He survived all of them and Homelander has been stated to be even tougher than Soldier Boy, the previously toughest supe alive. Problem solved because once again not everything needs to be explicitly shown on screen for it to be true.

Well we know Soldier Boy's eyes are still squishy from the torture video, so maybe Homelander's eyes are too. Doubt it since he goes to space and stuff, but until they show a bullet slamming into his eye and pancaking against it, we'll never be sure. Have we even seen him do anything superheroey besides fly, have super strength, super speed, super hearing, super smell, x-ray vision, and laser murder eyes? Like, how do we even know he's really a supe?

can we depict a scene where homelander launches a nuke into the air, flies into it, lets it explode OVER manhattan , and then flies down flashing a poo poo eating grin at the Boys personally? ok actually that sounds kind of badass im totally on board.

Fionordequester posted:I don't think the point is that the show is bad because of the lack of durability feats on Homelander's part—the argument is that an already amazing show could've had something else good about it, through easy, quick, & inexpensive ways of showing his invulnerability.

put a whoopie cushion on his chair, but his butt senses immediately detect it and he avoids it, that way we know he's powerful.

If its 5 seconds then it's not going to be clear and you'd be wandering in here demanding to know what was happening in that scene, you can't even understand the eye scene where the character literally says out loud what he is doing
