I LOVED the "Superman Returns" reference during their debate on the plane. She asks if he could simply lift the plane. He gives her the "What the f*ck" face and tells her, the stress on the frame would cause him to straight through. Then he looks at her, looks at the people on the plane and tells her "Come on. Let's go.". (lol) I was rolling.
00:35 you know Jay is getting old when he says," Oh this looks vulgar. There's a lot of swearing. I don't know what it is." i just superimposed an 83 year old Vietnam vet's raspy voice over his lmao
Wait? I haven't watched the show yet. Butcher and the Boys aren't juiced in this show? Because in the comics they each get a low dose hit of the Super Juice to give them enough strength and stamina to be able to take a punch for at least some of these guys.
If you think that The Boys was trying to do the same thing as Man of Steel with Superman/superheroes in general, than you missed the point of either project, and likely both. Man of Steel was about the media hating Superman even though he was a good guy. The Boys is about the media promoting superheroes even though they are bad people. You even said that The Boys is really corporations. Man of Steel is not about corporations in the slightest. On the surface, the two projects share similarities, but they don't share similarities at the creative heart of either.
Karl Urban using that laser-baby as a gun was a highlight, also. I love how he then tenderly puts the baby back in its crib and says "keep your nose clean, or i'm coming for you." Anthony Starr is pretty riveting as Homelander. Really great performance. I also love how sincere and believable the relationships all are. Starlight and Hughie, Frenchie and the X-23 type girl, heck even A-Train and Popclaw. They all have very believable relationships.
"Garth Ennis" is all I needed to hear. I predict this show contains gratuitous swearing, child abuse, violence in general and various forms of implied or explicit sodomy, and quite a few tips of the ol' fedora. And every single person in it is a complete tool. I am intrigued.
The pretty much eats shit from the get go. His friends with benefits dolphin goes splat while he was trying to rescue it. Mr lobsters gets the knife, he pretty much gets finger fucked in the gills against his will. Everyone in the 7thinks he’s a joke, he gets kicked out of the 7 and sent to a mid west town where there is only a small shallow lake. Had a mental breakdown and shaved his head and on top of all that he is noticeably scared shitless of starlight. He knows he can’t take her in a 1v1 . By the end of the season, despite knowing what a piece of shit he is I started to kinda feel sorry for him.
Are you kidding me? Blac Noir has the perfect comedic timing. The scene with him bogart'ing the pianist, and to go on playing classical music? Perfection. Or the scene where Homelander gives him kudos for doing a good job while he's on the verge of ripping the entire room to shreds. Everyone is in fear, and Black Noir is just there all calm and stoic. Hilarious.
"Preacher" is weird. by design, it is very religious, but the things it has to say? NOPE, that shit won't fly in 2019. too many Religious FANatics around, if that series get popular... it will get destroyed in the spot.
