Soldier Boy owns because he's just Dean with all the "lovable rogue" aspects removed and replaced with "actual monster".

The Supernatural fandom should probably not be patting itself on the back for their devotion to Jensen Ackles. Their irl wives get harassed by fans and any female character added to the show enraged the fanbase such that they almost all got unceremoniously killed off. And not because the audience members envisioned themselves in Sam or Dean's arms, oh no. No, they wanted something else entirely.

HOLY poo poo... It's REAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEy4izjNsUQ And they did it 1:1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfgLKBfgkEA Even the "Mon!"s were straight from the original!  Those magnificent bastards...Kripke must have seen all the extras Tarantino did for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood with Rick Dalton's fake career and been inspired to do the same for Soldier Boy. I can only imagine how much poo poo didn't even get filmed! Edit: http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/62c102d5b0e30-soldier-boy-robert-mitchum.php (click the "Here" to turn off sync--for some reason one video won't start otherwise) This is on Fallon/Rudd levels.

Paul Reiser's line about what Solder Boy did to music comes from a story told to Ethan Hawke by Kris Kristofferson. Waylon Jennings said it, and it's heavily implied he was talking about Toby Keith:Rolling Stone posted:STANDING BACKSTAGE AT THE BEACON Theatre in New York, leaning against a crumbling brick wall in the dark, I could barely see Kris Kristofferson standing to my left. Willie Nelson was in the shadows to my right. Ray Charles was standing beside Willie, idly shifting his weight back and forth. A bit farther along the wall were Elvis Costello, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, Paul Simon and respective managers, friends and family. Everybody was nervous and tight. We were there for Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday concert in 2003. The whole article's great.

The main thing I remember about Supernatural is the season that revolved around evil worms using high-fructose corn syrup to mind control people.

I hardly know any of Kristofferson's music, but his performance as an old officer in Fallout: New Vegas was incredible. Sounds like it would've been personal to him.Xiahou Dun posted:Wasn't that literally in an Animorphs book. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the Yeerks tried to put mind control drugs in the food supply but couldn't find any that worked.

As Nero Danced posted:At the risk of giving into peer pressure, which seasons of supernatural are worth watching? I stopped at the start of Season 11, but as with X-Files there's good standalone episodes throughout. The crossover with Scooby Doo is pure genius.

Supernatural isn't that bad of a show depending on your tolerance for cheesy melodrama. For anyone interested in it thanks to the acting of Soldier Boy on this show, I'd recommend just grabbing season one and starting there. It's pretty up front when an episode is plot heavy and when it's just a monster of the week nothing episode so if you just aren't feeling it you can skip stuff that sucks, and any time you reach a point where you aren't having fun with it or think it's gotten too stupid to be funny anymore you can just kinda stop. There's a lot of Supernatural but the vast majority of it isn't like, any great mystery or overarching plot hook since it's usually at its best when they just let the characters bounce off one another.

I hope at one point there is a bunch of insane fanfiction where Soldier Boy is in a incestuous gay relationship with Homelander The only thing I know about Supernatural is that even for the internet they have an insane fandom and fanfiction scene. The yaoi mpreg alpha wolf people look at them and say " y'all need to chill"

As Nero Danced posted:E: another thought, this one feels more like wishful thinking. Butcher telling Hughie they're out of temp V is effectively cutting Hughie off and saving him, whether it's the truth or not. Part of me is hoping that he's just trying to protect Hughie rather than saying "to hell with the consequences, we finish the job." But that's just not who Butcher is, is it? The odds of that feel like less than 30%, and that's me tripling the odds because we're heading into a season finale and there's usually a few extra uplifting/humanizing moments in there. But honestly I feel Butcher got Scrooge'd and it's going to accomplish jack loving poo poo. Starlight and Kimiko continue to hold it down, though; Girls Get It Done

Geordi LaForge didn't get to regain his sight on Star Trek TNG in part because it's kind of a kick in the dick to people who actually have such a disability in real life.

i think the difference is kimiko isn't physically disabled, it's a result of trauma. i think it's debatable whether something like that should be portrayed as a state to be overcome or a fact of life to be accepted, since in real life people do move past this when the cause isn't physical and start talking again. kimiko doesn't lack language. i don't really know the answer, i think the sexist origins of the character as a token non-speaking girl party member are too messy to just pretend this is good representation on its own, but as far as whether it's better to just keep her silent now or not, i think it'd be better to hear from people who have actually experienced this rather than people taking offense at the idea on their behalf. i wonder if the creators have consulted with anybody about that.

from a purely storytelling perspective having her suddenly regain her ability to speak because she doesnt have a magic potion in her anymore is incredibly stupid baby brain poo poo. the entire selling point of the series, imo, is that they try to limit fantasy storytelling conceits beyond 'there is a magic potion that gives people superpowers.' the attempt to play it as straight to our world as possible is the hook, not 'there's guys who KILL superheroes and say swears.' if they did what you're saying, i would ask, why can she now speak after many many many years of not speaking? would she not have suffered some sort of physical or mental atrophy that would prevent this? i thought they accomplished essentially what you were asking for, with the dancing scene and how she would not be able to dance with him and genuinely feel his arms without having to worry about breaking them, or the last real hug they'd be able to take without her popping his freaking head off. and at that point, I'm yelling at the screen, I am saying, what, why can she now speak after many many many years of not speaking? would she not have suffered some sort of physical or mental atrophy that would prevent this? some people are better at writing things off to 'the Will of the Force' than others. I think it's pretty stupid anywhere, but especially in a show that's supposed to be the REAL superhero show. there's a very cool singing scene in the second season of Picard you should watch if you like that sort of stuff though, it's absolutely epic, you should watch the whole season (and Season 1 to get the back story of course)

Watching the animated Gunpowder getting beaten to a pulp by Soldier Boy kinda makes what Butcher did to him ten times worse. Imagine having that background and then suddenly the guy who's been stalking you turns out to have Soldier-Boy level superpowers, and proceeds to cave your face in.
