Tom Tucker posted:Also if they didn't show us her eyes changing colors then most people would watch the whole episode and go "oh man who blew up that dude's head in that scene?! That's crazy! I'm glad Hughie is finally getting away from all this intrigue and violence." "I don't get who's doing the exploding! We see the church head explode and then it cuts to Neumann who happens to be outside right after their phone call, just smiling and walking away? Why would she even be there and why was her head not exploded too?"

Imagine how dumb the average television viewer is, and then remember that half the audience is dumber than that.

Royal Updog posted:Maybe its like a fart in that she can hold it in while in polite company but doesn't bother when no ones about It seems more like what they do in Supernatural where they'll show a person is actually a demon or other creature by their eyes taking on different colors/shapes for only the audience to see. Mostly I wanted to quote this for posterity though

GD_American posted:Just say something like “he breastfed until he was 5 and the nickname stuck” and then move the gently caress on, there’s no payoff there Butcher said they call him that because he's as sweet as Mother's Milk in S1, don't think they need anything more than that.

I never questioned it tbh. That's just how Butcher talks and who am I to tell him otherwise?

Butcher’s accent is simply “what a Kiwi thinks a Brit sounds like” but since the audience is mostly US, and we all think that WE know what British people sound like, so it works out.

If you've never seen a Southern hoke up his accent when he's the only Southerner in a room, I can only tell you that there's an explanation for whatever comes out of Butcher's mouth.

I love that the accent's bad and I feel like it works with Butcher kind of hiding his background from the others. I hope the show pokes more fun at it too.

ptkfvk posted:did anyone get the feeling the homelander may have eaten a few of those guys in the house? it could easily have been blood spray from ripping people apart but just combining comic HL and noir into one character losing it as things fall apart is a better way to go than the comics route. its probably too early to go that wild with HL and have him just eat someone. We haven't even seen homelander eat food let alone human beings

GD_American posted:If you've never seen a Southern hoke up his accent when he's the only Southerner in a room, I can only tell you that there's an explanation for whatever comes out of Butcher's mouth. Due the varied accents in the UK we actually do the opposite, talking slower and more clearly, with little or no vernacular. I think the accent is just a show joke of some kind. Using words that sound like UK vernacular but aren't. Like his friend that sells him out, he says he had called "the plodder." A phrase nobody has used for the police ever. His aunt said something to MM about Hughie being the spitting of Lennie. Nobody says that, "the spit" maybe, but not spitting without image to go with it. It can be really jarring. They are taking the piss.

That one potential slayer in Season 7. The one they killed off her accent was so bad. Also James Masters is great, until you ask him to say "poof" or "row" and then it's head in hands time again.

I can tell the difference but not between New Zealand and Australia. Though thanks to seeing Taika Waititi movies it's becoming more distinctive.

Elephant Ambush posted:This is a HUGE point that slipped my mind. This makes me think she really is an independent actor. Maybe she's playing everyone to becomes President or something? I really am interested to see where she goes. We're being led to believe via her targets that she's with Vought and she's going to take after her comic counterpart as a Vought government plant, but at the same time I think the writers would subvert it because it would be too obvious. Based on almost nothing I'm putting my vote in for some form of a sleeper agent split personality or she's genuinely seeking justice against Vought in a 'long con' and she's willing to use other peoples' lives as pawns. Maybe she's even thinking about Homelander and what would happen if Vought had lost there. Her targets overall during the courtroom scene were mixed of convenient for Vought and unconnected, which helps the people fighting against Vought in-universe believe it's just a play. Whatever the case is with her, I believe Edgar is connected. There's almost no way the existence of a supe with that power would fly under the radar unless she was a natural birth from runaway supes. Before recent events only Vought had the ability to make supes and natural births were thought impossible. If anyone knew of her existence, it would be Vogelbaum and Edgar. Or she just said gently caress it and injected herself around the end of season one, came out as "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex" FireWorksWell fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Jul 16, 2021 |

I recall someone saying that James Marsters' British accent was beyond criticism as "not even the Space Shuttle can go from Sydney to Johannesburg via New York and London in under two seconds".

Would Translucent really explode everywhere like that from a bomb? Considering how loving invulnerable his skin seems to be, wouldn't his organs flash-cooked or something, just leaving a shell in the form of Translucent?

Elephant Ambush posted:The Lamplighter thing was just weird to me because he straight up told Mallory that killing him would be doing him a favor as though he's been suicidally guilty since he killed her grandkids and he could've self-immolated anytime he wanted to but didn't, and then a couple days later when Hughie convinces him that he could do something useful and heroic to make his father proud he goes along with it and then kills himself for no reason. Rescuing Starlight and her mom and then testifying against Vought could have been a fresh start for him and could have set him on the path to do more good things (that wouldn't necessarily redeem him but would at least make his father proud) but then he just suddenly works up the courage to piss it all away and kill himself out of nowhere? K? Plus he should have negated his whole reason for going to Vought by setting himself on fire. Good thing Hughie could still use his fingerprints!
