Only on episode 3, but I think A-Train has learned a valuable lesson about just not stopping when you accidentally blow someone up.

Zaphod42 posted:Four episodes in and I'm pretty hooked on this, seems really well done. Yeah parts of the first episode seemed very familiar. I think I might have read a book or two as well, and I seem to remember putting it down because it was super tryhard edgy with all the sexual violence. There's still a bit of that in the show, but not too too much.

Frankenstyle posted:I dunno. I'm not a big comic guy and The Boys is one maybe of three series I've read since college, so I'm not a purist or anything but it was worth reading. I was curious to see how much of the story would get shaved down to fit the show in the interest of time and money. Loved the first episode, but the next two feel like they cut the story to the bone and then patched it back together with pointless filler. It also feels like folks behind the scenes were having a lot of conflicts deciding on the exact mixture of Dark / Comedy they were shooting for, and a lot of it feels a little awkward as a result. Does it get any better, of should I give up now? Ah what are you doing that's so important you gotta maximize your entertainment time just watch it you ain't doing nothing else anyway you know it

Would it be impossible for them to do that in Season 2? Because Black Noir doesn't really do anything this season. Basically the only of the Seven with nothing going on. It seemed like they were saving him.

MiddleOne posted:The only thing about the Black Noir spoilers I imagine they're keeping is the bit about him being a Homelander failsafe. Currently there is nothing introduced in the TV universe that can even conceivably be a threat to him, much less harm him. For most of the season he's been death incarnate. I dunno the only thing he does this season is fight kimiko and not overwhelmingly dominate her.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I kinda doubt the Black Noir stuff simply because it looks like he gets injured by Kimiko when they throw down in the alley. If he was a Homelander clone, it wouldn't have even been a close fight, much less one where he gets cut, Yeah, also the actor has a recurring role on various other superhero shows. I mean, he's done stunt work too, but they could have hired an absolute nobody a lot cheaper if they never intended to use him.

jerry seinfel posted:Finished the season, one thing I'm surprised about is that there wasn't more done with Doppelganger. I thought maybe it was him before Stillwell got eye to eye'd but iirc she started saying stuff Doppelganger wouldn't know. Maybe Homelander will just force Doppelganger to pretend to be her for part of s2 or something. Yeah it's like when a Batman comic brings up Clayface and then you're looking for him the rest of the time.

LGD posted:I don't think that's really true, Homelander is at least as powerful in the comics, and many of the other superpowered characters seem noticeably more mortal than they did on the page Wow, that's a really smart change then. One of the best things about the show is the asymmetry.

Gawain The Blind posted:As a huge Ennis fan, I'm disappointed with a lot of the changes. I think they spent too much time trying to make a "the boys" origin story, when it's not really about that. They aren't even V-ed up for the whole first season, which changes the gang from a legitimate threat into a bunch of goofballs bumbling their way through a war the heroes don't even know they're in. It's much cooler that they ARE a legitimate threat to the supes without having powers. Maeve talks about how their weakness is still other people. They're all getting owned by capitalism and social structures which makes them vulnerable to Billy's "blackmail everyone" method of getting things done. Ultimately, for all their powers, they're still hosed if they don't get paid, or Vought stops protecting them from the fallout of their creepy actions, or the CIA starts making demands.

Maybe I was reading it wrong, but the other supes also seemed a bit afraid of Annie. Not as much as Homelander, of course. But there are a couple of moments when she gives supes the eye flash like Homelander and they flinch.

The doctor pointedly saying Homelander should have been raised with a parent makes me think that Becca is in cahoots with Vought and they planned for the kid to be a "debugged" replacement for Homelander.

Supreme Allah posted:The Tick (Amazon) is great and everyone should watch both seasons, it actually has more drama than you'd think, and they were building into a big reveal about Tick's nature/origin that we sadly never got. But it's just a neat show. Since it got canned, was that reveal ever done in like comics or the cartoon or anything? They actually did manage to get me interested in what was up with the Tick.

Azhais posted:No, where he came from and how he got his powers is never explored. He always has no memory of where he was before the city really. In the comics it's revealed that he's an escaped mental patient but that doesn't really explain anything. In the cartoon all you know is he passed his hero exam and was assigned to the city. In the Warburton series his first appearance was protecting a bus station and the people there tricked him into moving to the city because he annoyed them. Ah it's probably for the best. They teased it well in the new show, but it would probably be a letdown no matter what.

That Italian Guy posted:Not really sure if changing what was essentially an alt-right nazi superhero into something else (anything else) is really the best idea in this day and age...but I guess they are going for something completely different anyway for the character. S2 is probably going to be wildly different from the comic, plot wise. The comic loving sucks so anything that indicates they're changing the comic is a good sign.

I think Black Noir will wind up as comic relief forever. Although they did hire an actual actor to play him, so maybe they do have a plan for him to do something.

SardonicTyrant posted:There's still no good explanation for why Homelander had sex with Butcher's wife, it's not in his character. So I think that was Black Noir impersonating Homelander like in the comics.. Homelander completely no-sells it if that's their plan. He doesn't protest at all about it.

Some of the Sheep posted:I'm guessing they're talking about the discussion of Black Noir's story arc as it is in the comics. If so it seems pointless to spoil at this time as I don't see how the tv show can even end up at the same conclusion. If it's about things from the TV show like Homelander's son? Well that was revealed about 8 months ago, if they are referring to that we might as well be spoilering plot points from Batman starring Adam West.

massive spider posted:One thing I don't like in the show is how The Boys themselves dont really seem to be much of a driving force. In the comic they were superpowered and could stomp most superheroes easy when caught unawares, the shows version of having them be 4/5 human could potentially create a lot more in the way of fun schemes to compensate for their lack of powers, but it doesnt really go that way at all after Translucent. Yeah, I'm also hoping for more "how could a regular person beat Superman?" scenarios in Season 2. The best decision the show creators made after sanding off the comic's 2000s edge was taking away The Boys superpowers.

You know, I never got the impression the super terrorist guy was supposed to be like the next big plot point. It always seemed to me like Homelander was saying "I made this one and a bunch more like him and now we can go kill them. Isn't my master plan awesome?"

^^^yeah this is precisely what I'm talking aboutBlaise330 posted:When the netflix marvel shows were coming out, I'd talk to people the same WEEK that we both saw it and they couldn't remember poo poo. Didn't know the names of any side characters, forgot everything but the biggest plot twists and fights, just totally lost. And they'd be the ones who'd drop in conversation how fast they finished the show like it's a bragging right. Autoplaying the show for 7 hours while browsing stuff on your phone and doing housework isn't exactly "watching" it. I was talking about this in the Sopranos thread. I remember storylines from that show very well, and I don't know if it's because the show was great so the storylines were great, or if it was because the show said what it was going to say on a given subject in a tight, memorable package. A lot of things I remember from The Sopranos I thought were stretched out over an entire season, but really happened in one episode. If it were made today, the episode where Meadow's roommate at Columbia loses her poo poo, and her boyfriend reveals himself to be an elitist douchebag because of it, would take like an entire 10-episode run. You'd be loving sick of that crazy girl 4 episodes in, but you wouldn't quite know her character's name and have to recall what her deal is every time because you would have seen the story play out in 2-minute chunks once an hour.
