This was the most nerve-racking week so far. It was the worst time for Maria to win yet another immunity. And then adding to that, Q finds an idol :tired_face:I was so afraid that Q was gonna be safe tonight! But so naive of me, because there is a recurrent theme this season which is "I have an idol and I won't play it" and we got a whole new entry on it.
IT WAS AWESOME to see Q's face expression switch from "Goodbye Charlie" to "Oh no here we go" Oh what a time to be alive!
And now Maria was also exposed. Next week there will be fire!
It's tense and gory in the usual The Boys fashion, although I feel like they just sped up everything in the beginning and previous episode so that they can have this "wreak havoc" all out in this episode.
As a season finale though... it feels like this IP is starting to show a similar symptoms to MCU: each ending has to be a setup for another season/series/film. It's a huge cliffhanger. It doesn't really settle the story with Marie and co, albeit they did close the arc and begin a new one. What happened to the school? What happened after the laser? Why the Guardians of Godolkin twist at the end - and how is it possible, with everyone there clearly witnessing who the villains were? It just raises more questions and feels like not making sense.
Additionally, some of the characters made some really terrible decisions with their hero syndrome, but I guess I can suspend the disbelief because they're still teenagers after all.
To be honest, quite a weak beginning. I really would like to like this, but I feel like not much happened this episode, and Mark has still not been promoted from his position of the token punching bag. The start of the episode was great with the introduction of alternate Mark's but then the episode decided to slow wayyyy the fuck down. The very end was fine, but again it felt like 10% of the episode, the beginning another 10%, and the rest was not so important to moving the story forward. Oh and now the girlfriend is suddenly all gung ho about their relationship after all the shit from last season, maybe they're trying to paint her as a better person now lol. I hope the show takes off after this, but poor beginning for a new season after over two years, and seemingly we're not even getting a full season.
So, um... where did Nolan's bodyguard go? I was wondering about that last episode and now it's even more confusing.
Gen V is the perfect example of exactly how spin-offs should be handled, the new series extends and enriches the world that is so well shaped in The Boys.
Definitely better, ugh i love Ruby and Otis scenes so much, it's great Eric be more comfortable with the people around him, also Isaac and Aimme are the biggest surprise dynamic that works well so far!
Why are we getting introduced to like, 10 new characters? Hope it doesn't spend too much of the final season focusing on them all
It seems others might have really liked this silent episode but we felt it a bit gimmicky and over-done. The first part of the episode it felt like a novel way to showcase his point of view, but by the end it felt cliche and forced. We actually thought this was the worst episode so far.
I think there should be some contractual mechanism for penalizing screenwriters in case they have been creating mysteries without knowing how to solve them. E.g. "Lost" screenwriters should not have been paid at all. The way the second season of "From" has been developing, we are at high risk of the same failure and disappointment. We do not need another show with randomness mascarading as complexity.
I think I may be done with this show. It started off pretty intriguing but at this point I feel bored and uninterested. Seems to be a lot of fluff and not much else at this point.
I may finish out this season, if I run out of other shows.
(Just my opinion, I do quite enjoy some of the actors and their performances)
This is turning into big pile of poo. Will it tie all together? I highly doubt it
Great episode! So hyped for the rest of the season
Yes, this season needed this! What an episode. Great script, great scenes and now, finally, they know how to fight back
I am not really a fan of Kitty's not-only-friendlike infatuation with Yuri, I think it's unnecessary
I was in LOVE with this show at the start, but I can't help but feel that its going downhill a little....
I mean, I know the characters of maeve and otis were written with the idea of them being together by the end already planned, but given how the past season and episodes developed, I wish they used the excuse of them being stuck together at a gas station for the sole purpose of them realising their relationship is way too rotten by now to make it work and they should embrace the partners they had now.
You wait so many months for a season like this and an ending like this is SO frustrating... Okay that the series has a lot of other characters, but they dedicated very little to the relationship between Otis and Maeve.
Real trash Episode don’t like it
The only episode in this season I genuinely didn't like. The camera movement is so jerky and choppy I just wanted it to stop. Some shots on the other hand look like they're straight out of a video game, where the camera finally holds still but the characters move like puppets - and I don't mean the dancing, even though that was strange and kind of annoying, too.
Other than that I also just don't get it. The basic story is obvious, but who are those people, who is she, why does she kill those men, why is she moving like that constantly, why is she covered in jewellery, why did the water react to her "death" like that , why did his hearing suddenly come back, I just have too many questions man. Mystery is good, not everything always has to be answered, but you know, SOMETHING would have been nice.
Great call back mid episode. Really enjoyed this one. Very engaging and well directed. Donald Glover has a way of directing that can have me laughing one minute and terrified the next.
What a masterpiece! Breathtakingly awesome :clap::clap::clap:
This was amazing, can't wait to see the rest of the manga, I can't even imagine the sheer level of cool.
I hope the quality will at least stay the same.
The Fuck just happened. Bruh
I am absolutely astonished by this show so far. Only thing that bothers me a bit is that Powder is so quick to turn against her sister, seems a bit forced. But that's criticism at a high level, I can't wait to binge the rest tomorrow.
Also RIP Mylo and Claggor, I really hoped we could see them grow, too. Makes for good drama though, and hell, I'm definitely here for that.
This episode was something omg and best of the season, of the show, so much pay off to what they were building and terrific performance by the actors and writers. Homelander is in an interesting place...it will be good to see what he does during season 3 and that ending omg. S3 looks super exciting already.
‘But it is not about me. I can’t lash out like some raging, entitled maniac. That’s a white man’s luxury’ - Stan Edgar -
Seriously the best f*cking episode of them all. I don't see how they could ever possibly top this one!
ETA: Okay, "Free Churro" is probably a little better, but still...
One of the greatest animated series of all time. It ended before it entered the expected creative decline.
Man, this episode was a real tearjerker! I knew what to expect, having already read the manga, but damn, was I crying tears of joy. Really, really wish there was a sequel, to see Ed's kids' adventures, or Ed/Al's adventures through the West/East. I loved May so much!!! She was so adorable when she cried. Huh, guess I'll have to check out the movie.
