Ha he's so funny and talented, love it ty

One actor is like okay, I’m reverend-coded, I can do the preacher voice

He's a rapper...

Like, that bit in Kimmy Schmidt where he raps is a joke on another level because he's actually insanely talented.

You need an actor with a powerful voice, you get a talented actor that's an amazing rapper...

It was perfect casting and he killed it.

Well guess we will find out soon. 2 episodes left. My theory everyone dies. I mean how the comics end.

But maybe Frenchy can make a stronger virus.

im catching up on fallout and catching invincible as it drops. figure will pivot to boys once a few episodes are in the hopper.

The first episode of the new season really came out swinging. One of my favorite parts of the episode was all of the call backs and self-referential stuff they sprinkled in. Annie dressed up like a Firecracker dancer was pretty hilarious because of the Homelander Birthday Special where he tried to subvert her authority as co-leader of the Seven by having a bunch of dancers in Starlight costumes. Homelander also called out EBITA Margins in his speech which he was embarrassed not to know about when he first took control of Vought's board. And so on.

One of the more interesting parts of the episode was the end of Reggie/A-Train's story. He came full circle by avoiding splattering another woman in the street at the cost of his own life. I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't re-watched the show and gen V prior to the 5th season coming out, but the woman he dodges even somewhat looks like Hughie's Robin; both have big curly hair, both were wearing different colors of the same jacket, and both performers even resemble each other a bit. Like if you hadn't watched the first season since it aired it would be perfectly reasonable to mistake "College-Aged Girl" for Robin.

It'll be interesting to watch how the story plays out. I'm really curious to see how the Gen V characters are used. I heard an interview with Kripke where he said the Gen V supes have a very minor role in season 5, but I am really hoping Marie Moreau gets at least a scene or two to really shine, she deserves it. I want her at the final battle, but I doubt it. She'll probably use her powers to heal/restore/resurrect a character if she even gets any screen time at all. I really really really want to know if her powers work on Homelander and to what extent. It would never happen, because someone from The Boys will absolutely deal the killing blow to Homelander (if he dies), but it seems like that hold power she used on Jordan a few times where she paralyzed them and lifted them off the ground would shut Homelander down entirely. Tilt his head back so he can't laser anyone and then stop his heart or something. If she ever does square up against The Seven that's what she'll do (minus the heart attack). She'll hold Homelander or Black Noir or Soldier Boy to set up one of the Boys or their allies.

Sage is the character I'm really rooting for though. From her first scene I had a hunch she would be in the finale. The way things are going though I'm not sure anymore. I think it's 50/50 that she gets murdered by Homelander over the V1 situation or pulls a double cross and uses the power Homelander gave her to take over the world herself.

True! 🙃

The fifth* and final season

God I hate modern day social media. In the end it auto played into some unrelated bullshit by some self-important nobody. But holy fucking shit! That was one hell of a trailer! I'm fucking pumped for the new season, and yes, I know I'm in for some heartbreak. Just... Let A-train live. He's grown so much as a character, it'd be a shame just to have him offed, but I know a ton of characters are going to die this season.

Well apparently the game they played was just mk11 with new skins. So that's the same. But with the humor and gore from the boys, it'd be so, so much better than injustice.

Kinda dumb that previously, Jordan li and Marie had no significant problem with Vikor. Then, even with Sam, Emma, and Claire, they needed help from Victoria's daughter. Like, really? It felt like manufactured distress. Especially after Marie's had a few upgrades. Also... It was 90 ft, "give or take".

Edit: other than the burned guy being Thomas godolkin, it's been pretty hard to predict gen v because it doesn't have a comic to go off of, so you kind of have to predict season 5 of the boys to predict this show.

I still hate Sam. I don't think he was ever a well written character. The puppets, his powers, it always just felt lazy especially in a sea of well created and developed characters. I hated Cate but because she was a well written, complex character that I was meant to hate. Not sure I hate her now, because she's a good enough actress, and her character is well enough written to give her the benefit of the doubt, but Sam is very one dimensional, and the actor is more wooden than Kristen Stewart playing a tree in the wizard of Oz.

Na, we already have DC Injustice.

Kinda but I feel like it'd be a cheap knockoff type

Fuck Vought

Yeah, I believe that's it. He's controlling Cipher which may or may not be related to him, maybe his son.

I think the old man in the hyperbaric chamber is Thomas godolkin and he is what is powering cypher, thus why cypher didn't appear to have any V in his blood.

Well, we're back at it. The first episode starts with some classic The Boys scenery .-.

So far, Chance's absence seems coherent and well executed. And my oh my, the writers are even more on the nose with the parallels to the real world...
