apparently theyve got a woman playing stormfront next season so either shes a skinhead or just magically takes the form of a WW2-era fascist

hey if a former president can gently caress a baby to death then it’s not too obscene to depict on tv

Freaking Crumbum posted:that dude seriously carried the show. he is the most compelling tv villain i've seen since omar Yeah the role was top notch especially how the character mixes creepiness, hubris with elements of tragedy since the whole origin story is a big fraud. Also they apparently cut a over the top scene from the TV series in which Homelander indulges in his god complex by whacking off over NYC. etalian has issued a correction as of 23:20 on Oct 22, 2019 |

Still funny to me that they are turning the boys into a successful tv show considering the amount of ghoulish sexual violence and gore that happens in that comic.

Agreed. Garth loves to coat his interesting moral themes in too many layers of exploitation gore porn to make it unforgettable, but by the 4th rape and scat epic the details of the depravity are very rote.

Also I doubt storefront willl be an actual ww2 Nazi bc stormfront was the Nazis attempt to create super soldiers during the war as a response to vogelbaum making superheroes and since Vought I'd a media company getting into war, not a war company that got into media, that Didn't happen? Probably anyway

I'm friends with a bunch of folks who either write comics or write about comics and the one thing we all agree on is Ennis really needs a good hand editing him so you don't lose the things he's good at but also less wild rape Homelander eating a baby is the best part of the boys tho so idk maybe let him go wild

I'm the year of our Lord 2007ish Garth Ennis put out a comic where he flatly says that the military functions by chewing up poor people, mostly minorities, and that part of why people are poor is so there will always be people willing to die to enrich the people at the top He also put out one about a man loving am asteroid to death

The one part of the boys that I wish they hadn't changed but completely understand why they did is the part where they try to stop a plane hijacking In the comic? That's 9/11. Two of the three planes get shot down by the air Force and the third is let go for ~reasons~ so that the seven can try to stop it and they fail miserably and it takes out the Brooklyn bridge So when I realized what the show was doing my heart was in my throat because holy poo poo are they going to do 9/11

i started watching "succession" and this is like watching a documentary about aliens. setting aside the fact that i'm tired of media trying to get me to think that rich people have problems, i just can't understand anyone's motivations. the main guy loses his loving mind because his dad wants to keep being in charge and its like... okay?? who the gently caress wants MORE responsibility? these people are all billionaires, but they're cutting throats so they can do more loving work. is this mental illness? is it genetic? who wants to have people asking them questions and asking them to make decisions? that's the absolute opposite of what i want, and the idea that someone with more money than god would actively seek out more work is incomprehensible to me

Someone described Succession as Arrested Development if the Bluths were 1%ers instead of just rich and they're not wrong The show is about how all of these people are amoral freaks, everything they do is cruel and thoughtless, and Greg the nephew is, at the jump, the only remotely human person there Which lasts for like an episode until he realizes these people are amoral freaks and appealing to their base cruelty will help him get a job You're not supposed to feel bad for any of them. Why would you think you're supposed to feel bad for the Culkin who ripped up a million dollar check in front of a small child

This is the stupidest loving feud imaginable, made all the more stupid by the fact that social media keeps advertising it to me because it knows I'm a loving geek and therefore assumes this is the most singular thing I could possibly be invested in when holy poo poo do I not care at this point.
