I knew you were trouble

I mean tbh I'm pissed we never actually saw the Deep's dick because 1) like all the dudes in superhero tights it looks massive and more importantly (2) in the scene where Starlight meets Hughie her teeth are stained with squid ink.

I just have to know what's going on down there. And I mean, he's got gills where his abs should be, so it really could be anything. I'm picturing a scale replica of a giant squid that's still way bigger than it should be. What does that dick look like. Show us the dick, cowards.

Show needs a touch more boobie. I really almost barfed when I thought Homie was gonna nurse from Stilwell in that one scene but they cut away from it and I was so relieved.

But just gimme like a scene in a strip club or something. I don’t wanna see Maeve or Starlight or Kimiko naked, I just want a little more senseless nudity.

As it stands, shout out to the show just have like a shredded dude hang song in the first episode or two to try to flip “gratuitous nudity” on its head.

Personally I just don't see the story telling utility in 90% of nudity or sex scenes in tv shows these days, it's almost like producers think it is a requirement for a show to be "adult." Seriously, porn is plentiful and easy to access, it's not the 80's and 90's anymore.

When the angry groupie fingerbangs his gills, he says something like "it looks weird, it's not what you expect" when she starts undressing him and I don't think he was talking about his gills. I was expecting some Shape of Water action at that point :coolfish:

Honestly I could see him going to try to blow up an offshore drill... but he just causes a huge oil spill that kills millions of fish and all the whales and dolphins he brought to attack.

It’s weird because even though my first experience is of The Deep being a rapist... the show is trying to hard to get me to feel bad for this loser... while at the same time giving him his comeuppance... I’d really love a behind the scenes look or a cast commentary to hear how the actor feels about playing such a pathetic shitheel.

Also everyone in this show is acting their absolute pants off. It’s very high quality.

It's not exactly sympathy, but it's interesting to look into his life and get some sense of why he's like this, why he was okay with forcing himself on Starlight, and find out it's partially because he's a weak-willed moron who's being used by people more powerful than him.

There's an article I read about some movie I absolutely cannot remember that explored the idea of what life is like when you're stupid. Not mentally challenged where you might be able to get some assistance, just a regular old very stupid person. And you end up pissing people off or reacting in certain ways not because you actually want things to go that way, but because you just don't understand what's going on or what the other person is thinking, or because you're pretending you DO understand so you won't be embarrassed. It's uncomfortable to feel BAD for a rapist like The Deep, but it's interesting to see this jock rear end in a top hat who's himself so pathetic and powerless.

It's kind of hard to grasp this guy, because on the one hand he's really concerned with issues that are easily overlooked by people and that can be fatiguing.

But, then again, he's kind of singularly concerned with the things that appeal to him. They're important to him so they should be important to EVERYONE and that no one gets it is infuriating.

Yet, he's driving a massive pile of poo poo car that helps kill the environment and totally overcompensates for his inferiority.

Still trucking through The Boys in comic form. Why does the Wolverine analogue only ever say "Gonna"? And why does he have hammers instead of hands?

I'm glad the show is going its own direction, it's way better than just about anything I've seen in the comic. I don't know why I keep going, honestly. I think there's just barely enough good scenes to combine with my OCD that hates putting a story down half-read. I guessed the "secret" of this last arc immediately just because Ennis is super predictable at this point. And I was completely right, no twists or swerves. Professor X is molesting his students! So edgy! This is two arcs now in ~20 comics where he's written an interesting detective story and then throws it all out the window at the end because he's always gotta go for the most shocking twist ever, and in his permanently-15-year-old brain, that's always going to be "they're loving".

e: actually that's three different detective stories he's ruined. I forgot about the side mystery about how Batman and Robin fell out. They had a threesome with Harley Quinn and now they hate eachother because something something sexuality.

Hitman had some pretty good bits in there, though. The fight with the SAS, the Wild West arc, that one issue where Superman shows up on the rooftop and has a heart to heart with Tommy. I tend to enjoy Ennis's work when he's restrained by DC's editorial board or has a partner or producer that's willing to rein him in. The man has some real talent, but he's just too unbelievably immature to be allowed out without an adult.

I'm not about to argue. His run on Hellblazer was excellent, and there's little in DC that tops the Hitman/JLA Special. But overall, Hitman mainly pushed buttons that Ennis has pushed time and again.

I would argue that the editor with blunt weapon was largely there for Punisher Max as well, one of the reasons why it's generally so good- there's a limit to how vile you can get when you're working with a marvel property, even an xr-rated one.
