I think the final villain may end up being Butcher after his kill all supes speech in the most recent episodes
I thought this was going to be about Homelander, but it's about Blue Hawk?Show does a massively ironic character people lap it up directly.
They just love dickheads. And these people are allowed guns!Yeah not surprised. The thing is that many of these people decided to take a side, and that means you *have* to be against certain things.
Deus Ex is the most wonderful game ever made and will never be topped!I thought this was going to be about Homelander, but it's about Blue Hawk?
You'd have to be so fecking far into the rabbit hole not to realize he's straight satire the first time he comes up. Never mind sitting through the speech thinking "this guy is really cool".
It's actually incredible people got this far into the show before they realized. It's like people who go onto gaming discussion forums and complain about the new woke trend of making games political, unlike all their old favourites. Fallout. Deus Ex. Wolfenstein. BioShock. Warhammer 40K. Unpolitical games.
Human Revolution is amazing as well, and I quite liked Mankind Divided too.Deus Ex is the most wonderful game ever made and will never be topped!
Unfortunately I don't have an OS capable of running MD but I really liked Human Revolution, even if the colours in general were just far too.. yellow. So much yellow in every urban space in that game. But they got a lot right.Human Revolution is amazing as well, and I quite liked Mankind Divided too.
I wouldn't go as high as that but it's a great great game indeed. Such an interesting storyDeus Ex is the most wonderful game ever made and will never be topped!
I think it was so good that they had to downgrade certain aspects of it for the 15yr later sequel (Invisible War doesn't count) such as the full body health counter where you could end up crawling on broken legs or the points system or the hacking system.I wouldn't go as high as that but it's a great great game indeed. Such an interesting story
Couldn't agree more, it's fantastic.I genuinely think this is the best show I’ve watched since seasons 1-4 of GOT or Breaking Bad. It’s incredible.
I think so? He can go a lot of ways. Hero, antihero, sympathetic villain, psychotic villain. The guy playing him is doing a decent job, anyway, which I think helps. The casting for this show really is spot on.Are we supposed to like SB or not?
Or people who complained that Star Wars - a story inspired by the Vietnam War of all things - suddenly became woke and political because they put a wimmin in a prominent role. And I'm not talking about the ones who hide behind the "I support strong female characters *insert picture of Ripley from Alien*" but the ones who immediately hated that their entire world came crashing down simply because the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy didn't have a huge flapping cock.I thought this was going to be about Homelander, but it's about Blue Hawk?

Feck'd if I know.wtf were these people thinking watching the first two seasons if now is when they complain about The Boys being political.
It will never be not funny to see right wingers realise they are the machine that was being raged against. Somehow it took 30 years, which is even funnier.Media illiteracy doesn't just apply to films and TV either:
He's brilliant but I imagine The Boys is too vulgar/cartoonish for the types who give out awards.Incredible season so far, absolutely topnotch tele.
Surely this is the year that Starr lands some major awards for Homelander?
I wouldn't really call The Boys a 'woke tv series', but I suppose that's the issue with 'woke', it means different things to different people.I mean it's definitely a woke TV series. It's taking direct shots at corporate culture, American exceptionalism, the alt-right, the all lives matter gang, right-wing media (and corporate media in general), etc. And that's perfectly fine with me.
It’s been taken from black culture and bastardised beyond recognition. Woke meant to open your eyes to things like racial prejudice but now people use it as a weapon to bat away anything remotely resembling human kindness or anything left wing.I wouldn't really call The Boys a 'woke tv series', but I suppose that's the issue with 'woke', it means different things to different people.
The boys definitely isn't "woke" just because they touch on current events. It's ridicules far right ideology and therefore fits the modern pejorative meaning of woke.It’s been taken from black culture and bastardised beyond recognition.

Yeah the word they’re looking for is satire.The boys definitely isn't "woke" just because they touch on current events. It's ridicules far right ideology and therefore fits the modern pejorative meaning of woke.
As an aside, I call people who've adopted "alt"right terminology and insults ***** in my day to day life.
Great answer by Tom Morello. And yes it is hilarious like you say.It will never be not funny to see right wingers realise they are the machine that was being raged against. Somehow it took 30 years, which is even funnier.
You say that, but there are loads of right-wingers who didn't realize this was satire until last episode. Many still don't, no doubt.I love how this show takes the piss out of right wing America, but I like my satire a little less on the nose if I'm honest.
That's say quite true. Gunpowder talks about the globalist agenda and Soros which is word for word what these Trumpist republicans say.You say that, but there are loads of right-wingers who didn't realize this was satire until last episode. Many still don't, no doubt.
It's barely over the top any more, compared to reality. Actually, take out the superheroes and it might be downright grounded.
Lengthy post just to brag about how cool your barber is.Just got through series 1 this weekend. Where have I been?? Always saw the thumbnails on Prime and skipped over them until my barber persuaded me to watch it. I didn't jump on the Game of Thrones train until series 4 so had to binge watch that too.
I'm such a fool!
