Binging releases and staggered releases are realistically going to be popularized in cycles for the rest of our lives.

I'm happy that I can watch one episode and read this thread while it's semi on topic for the episode instead of taking a week and a half to finish the season and by that time the thread is full demented.

veni veni veni posted:Honestly I think streaming services doling out episodes one week at a time is going to become more prevalent in the near future. 2020 must have halted production on an immeasurable amount of projects, so I wouldn't be surprised if new content releases slowed to a crawl for a good part of next year. A traditional weekly trickle of content will basically serve as a way to make it feel like "new" things are coming out. I'm sure others have done it but Mandalorian is the one that got the most attention for doing it nearest to the time frame of the pandemic. Whatever outfit inside Disney that runs the social media must've shown that the gradual release resulted in slightly higher numbers and everyone else is following suit. Like others have said, it'll be strategic and cyclical - guaranteed hits will probably be staggered, shows that are untested bets will still get full release at least for the first season or two. The real litmus test will be when Netflix staggers something like Stranger Things, and the audience reaction to that.

Disney did it because they didn’t have enough content and they didn’t want people to cancel after the one week trial was up. Those episodes were like 25 minutes lol, they piecemealed a four hour movie over 2 months.

Staggered is better. You don't need to shove every single thing in your loving mouth like a pig. And then demand more content.Bioshuffle posted:Even with the staggered schedule look at all the better than thou sperglords harvesting spoilers from the show runners and posting it here. You're human scum and should gently caress off.

I think there's a difference in exposure to American culture because I audibly "ooooh oh no"-ed when I saw that. I almost paused it just to explain the significance

Old Kentucky Shark posted:I will say that while i don't buy the Stormfront is Liberty's daughter scenario, it is kind of weird that a semi-prominent superhero like Liberty would have had obviously lightning based powers and either no one knew or MM just didn't bother to look it up or check before driving all the way to North Carolina. It's a little bit of a plot hole. I figure that Stormfront/Liberty has had about 30 - 40 years to figure out the extent of her powers, andor has been taking extra vitamin V shots since then. Maybe the powers are just mediated through the subconscious, and which ones they have are a matter of personality. Everyone has the same extent of their powers, it's just a matter of how they reach for them.

Panfilo posted:It's interesting how A Trains situation shows that Compound V isn't some magic immortality serum; the most powerful supes required the most optimal conditions, effort, and trial and error to get an effective group of powers. Even at best dosing post natally is a limited 'boost' (my guess is that it just temporarily 'resets the clock' by giving them back their peak potential for a little while). I assumed it was the high dose of it. I assume that if he'd taken low doses on a longer time period it would have had longer to work and had less of a stimulant effect -- like how stuff like nicotine, if you take it slow it relaxes you, but if you take it all at once it hypes you up. They mainline huge amounts into the kids, though, doesn't explain that. Unless it's a long term drip, heavily diluted.

Dude went from; Stormfront isn't racist > Stormfront isn't Liberty > Mad about everyone telling him Stormfront is Liberty > Maybe Stormfront isn't racist she's had years to reflect and change. Even though Stormfront said and did some racist poo poo in episode 3. Dude is delusional about his nazi waifu.

Goast posted:homelander knows a lot more than he ever lets on and that's why he's such a terrifying character Yeah, I love that. When he caught Maeve on the phone, he acts like he doesn't have super hearing and couldn't tell the context of her conversation. Surprise! Same thing when he was wondering around Becca's house after she had fled to ask for help. Later he brought that back up and said she was right, he wasn't going to get bored and leave.

Maeve's hollowed out so I think the acting's deliberate. The character's just ground down to a nub.

Eh, if they want to go that route I'd prefer they just minimize her screen time. No one wants to watch a vacuum on TV. I don't know the actress from any other work but I'm tending towards bad acting for this part.

Also you have the bonus of hindsight and viewer perspective. Without that I can definitely seeing them driving all the way to NC on a hunch. I'm certain the only reason they survived this long is Vought has better poo poo to do. Hell, the Black Noir scenes even play this out. If really pressed, the Vought rank and file can find the Boys fast, but who the gently caress there cares?

Also you have the bonus of hindsight and viewer perspective. Without that I can definitely seeing them driving all the way to NC on a hunch. They also had no reason to even look up what her powers were before this, just that she was a supe and they had a lead from something that happened in the 70s. Now that they have this whole situation going next episode will probably explain some of the stuff with a little deeper digging. Plus it's not like cameras or video surveillance were as ubiquitous in the 1970s as they are today, documentation about supes from that time is probably mostly Vought-made PR material and sponsorships. The Boys are by and large dumb, yes. MM is smart but his head isn't in the game, and Butcher is smart but too focused on his crusade to see the forest for the star-spangled trees.

Yeah. I think we should really not expect Death Note level of strategery from any of the characters in the show. At best they have a low cunning that let's them survive. But seriously, who in the show is actually depicted as even remotely smart? They're all dumb dumbs.

Hughmoris posted:How many Homelander costumes do you think we'll see this Halloween? Yes I know a lot of people won't be participating this year The type of person to admire Homelander enough to dress up like him and the type of person who will have Halloween parties in the middle of a pandemic have a pretty huge overlap so quite a few. It’s going to be rooms full of Jokers and Homelanders, coughing and being smug about how cool they are at each other.

MM was always the coolest of the Boys, as proven by him making those goofy rear end over the top glasses look cool as hell. Also, being from Oakland originally, I really appreciate his People's Food Program shirts.

small details on a 2nd rewatch: Pippi Longstocking is old as hell, first book published in '45. The character is internationally beloved, but is most popular in Germany. Maeve means "intoxicating", interesting choice to have her struggle with addiction. The boys' storefront not only had that liberty poster, but one for Popclaw's movie Terminal Beauty (with Billy Zane). Having Liberty advertise a douche is extremely 60s.
