BIG HEADLINE posted:Crossed is what happens when someone says "okay, so take the Garth Ennis that made George Clooney drop out of playing Nick Fury, and turn him up to about...23 on a 10 point scale." The true story behind it is Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis went to a con on one of the smaller British isles but ended up stranded there for a night when a bad storm rolled in. They ended up drinking all night in the hotel bar and started complaining about how boring and hackney zombie books are. Then they wagered on who could make a more hosed up zombie story.

They weren’t only American supes in the comics, they were all over the place. I want to say there were even naturally occurring ones it’s just the book dealt predominantly with the ones Vought made themselves. There was a lot about comparing Vought to lovely weapons companies, especially comparing supes to the early M16’s used in Vietnam that had a horrifically high failure rate. There was also a subplot about Butcher’s source of info, it’s wasn’t an ex-mentor but a Stan Lee analog. In the books Vought owner DC and Marvel and used it as PR for their properties. The standard heroes fight before teaming up to fight the villain story beat was invented to cover up the constant petty brawls the supes constantly got into.

He and Goldberg wrote it, but apparently it went through 3-4 script doctor phases as the director/producer/star merry go round went round and round in the 4 years between writing and principal photography.

McSpanky posted:I read once that Crossed the result of a contest between Ennis and Warren Ellis to write the most hosed up things they could think of, and Blackgas was Ellis's effort. Yeah, from Ellis has said they were at a convention on some random Welsh island, got drunk in the hotel bar and missed the last ferry back. So they went back, got drunker and the loser had to pay back the winner's tab.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I always assumed that was just speedster healing, but you might have a point on it. The Female gets her rear end handed to her pretty horribly but is up and running around fairly quickly after that, compared to a baseline human anyway. Maybe the V gives a generic baseline power set and a specialty power? Everyone* gets the healing factor and a boost to durability and strength, but then you end up with either a signature power like Deep, or a set like Homelander, or even a basic set that's boosted like Maeve. If I remember the comic correctly to get the unique powersets you need to have the V administered in vitro. Anytime else V is basically just a super steroid.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I'm waiting for SF to go full on white power nazi before getting the poo poo kicked out of her. She does have those armbands that seem really well placed to have her rip the velcro off and reveal swastikas. Though I wonder if they'll go full nazi/alt right with her. Her character so far seems pretty in line with a 'white feminist', like a Lena Dunham with super powers.

Eat This Glob posted:the character has done blatantly racist poo poo (murdering a building full of black people) and said racial epithets at a japanese charachter while breaking his poo poo. why the gently caress would you think "lena dunham" about a supe named "stormfront"? Dunham was probably a bad choice as an example due to her being such a lightning rod for the chuds. My point was simply there's a slot more flavors of racist shitbag than Nazi/Alt Right, one of which being the internet savvy kind that couches it's rhetoric behind more palatable messaging. Kind of like the way TERFs hide their transphobia.

Shageletic posted:The only real good thing about the comic, like the only really good thing in all of Ennis's work, is a pulsing virulent hatred of America's war making industry. Eh, I think it's more that he hates the corporate stranglehold on war. He's totally in love with the Intelligence Industry and wrote a comic about how the CIA is justified in doing their poo poo because otherwise Europe would keep getting Americans killed in their idiot wars.

Khanstant posted:It's two different powers. I can see them going with this, she needs direct line of sight to pop heads, the milky eyes are an xray vision ability. I realized they kind of did the same thing they did with Preacher, another show produced by Rogan. The first season of Preacher pulled a few things from later in the comics but ended up ending where the comics started. Now the Boys are going to be starting season 3 closer to the start of of the comics than they were at season1. They even have the V shot chekovs gun.

Owlbear Camus posted:The Plutonian's inciting incident for Yet Another Superman Expy to flip his lid is pretty good, too. Waid's story pitch for the series was great. "Imagine how, if Superman was real, just how flooded YouTube would be with videos of him. Now imagine if he stopped one day to read the comments section of those videos." Shame Waid whiffed the ending so hard. I think The Boys actually finished on a better note. The companion series, Incorruptible, had much better quality throughout.

multijoe posted:I wonder if Neuman could explode Homelander's head. So far the implication has been that even if everyone teamed up against him his powers are so immense they couldn't even come close, but if she could pulp his brain without even breaking the skin she could be the only person who could get him Reading this right after the comment about The Boys turning into a sitcom made me think you were asking if Wayne Knight could give Homelander a stroke just by being creepy enough.

Cpt_Obvious posted:Wait, did the nazi scientists retain their holdings in Volkswagen? It's the biggest reason places like Aspen and Park Place became some of the most expensive real estate in the US, Nazi's buying up tons of land in quiet communities in the Rockies that reminded them of the Alps. Hunter S Thompson actually has a bunch of articles about it from the time period when he was trying to keep them from turning Aspen into what it is today.

Bust Rodd posted:The League was just “Suburban It’s Always Sunny” and it felt impossible for me to ignore the many obvious and weird parallels. The shows both got progressively more mean spirited and unhinged as they grew, but while Sunny doubled down on the core cast to great success, The League went HARD into side characters and a level of wanton cruelty that sucked all the fun out of the show for me. The AIDS house thing was pretty funny tho Seinfeld might be the better comparison since one of the show runners wrote for Seinfeld and Curb. Almost every episode does that thing Seinfeld and Curb did where the episode ends on a callback from the first 5 minutes.

FilthyImp posted:Compound V is made from Super Soldier Blood! I wonder if the reveal will be that there never was an actual Soldier Boy that fought in WW2. They just found a dude with powers similar and created this elaborate mental delusion in him that he's the real deal. And left him to wake up in some random German bunker. It would certainly be a good PR spin that "oh no, the V we use is based on the defectors formula that created Soldier Boy, not Stormfront's husband."
