It's always really funny to me when SEW shows what he looks like IRL. You would think as a guy who talks about anime for a living he would be some scrawny nerd when in actuality he's a huge chad with movie star good looks lmao

Also, that bit where he talks about the transphobia in DP2 was sweet :unsmith:

Nash has unfortunately also been going on really dumb rants and takes about the show that seem mostly motivated by him loathing the comic so much he won't give the show a chance.

Which is fair but his takes are so bad it's embarassing.

If I thought he'd listen I'd tell him I also profoundly loathed the comic series but the show more than manages to rise above its source material (which is not hard, admittedly). It's a shame, too, because Nash is normally pretty considered in his likes/dislikes.

Halfway into this and its entertaining but it's based on a very stupid premise.

Boars are loving nightmare monsters that regularly killed train hunters and it usually required a hunting party to safety get them.

A mate of mine read the comic after series 1, he described it as a horrible miserable series. Comic Tropes did a comparison video, and I couldn't think of a change for the show that wasn't superior in some way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NIMq4X9tMs

I mean even the artwork is horrid, seeing Butcher's bizarre sociopathic wide open smile and his bizarre rugby player on steroids proportions would put me off reading the comic alone.

I'm just trying to go through life without looking stupid.

It's not working out too well...
I must be in the minority, because I picked up and read The Boys a couple of weeks ago (the whole series was in a bundle on Humble Bundle, along with Project Superpowers), and I really liked it. It made me want to check out Garth Ennis' run on Punisher, which I remember hearing was really good.

Haven't seen the show yet. I don't have direct access to Prime Video (just a linked account), but if the show's half as graphic as the comic was, I don't imagine anyone at home will want to watch it. Then again, I remember they were watching the adaptation of Preacher that was on AMC.

Yes. The rest of the show has been far better but those two were worse than the comic. Lamplighter more so because what they've done with Homelander is still good but Lamplighter's inclusion was a waste of time.

edit: oh I was wrong they did three things worse: Love Sausage being the third. One of the few times they out-Ennised Ennis.

Lamplighter was kinda pointless but hey it was well acted and neat. Black Noir was a good change but it's kinda a wash either way because he kinda just got the same end result just with a backdoor to give him more stuff later if they want.

Garth Ennis' Punisher MAX is really good. Just make sure to skip the run he did before that (under the Marvel Knights label) because it's absolutely dire.

One thing about the Boys comic is that it does significantly improve in volume 3 or 4.

The series actually started out as an attempt by Ennis to get out of his publisher contract, but after a while the characters took a life of their own and he started caring about it.

It's still very edgy and violent but you can tell after the turning point that he was aiming for more.

The real answer is that creature types tend to be a little more general than they sound for mechanical reasons. If there were different creature types for pumas, cheetahs, lions, tigers, etc. then most of them would end up irrelevant. So instead all of those use the same creature type, Cat, which is prevalent enough to build a deck around. Similarly, any creature which is any vairety of pig, swine, hog, or so on is classified as a Boar.

did they put in errata to have every creature type "hound" count as a "dog"-type creature so that you could use all the old totally-a-dog-but-called-a-hound creatures from decades past? if not, they should, since hounds are a type of dog.

the ones they introduced in Core 2021 as specifically "Dog"-type creatures are good boys.

This does still lead to some weirdness with older tribes when they were more specific. Cat people, lions, and house cats are all cat type, but nagas, snakes, and serpents are all separate types. Some snake people being nagas and some snake people being snakes.

Reminds me that around the same time New Legacy Inc was doing those Umad which was basically RP for backyarders and bad CAW Leagues, but I assume they ended it for the same reason why RPs ended really (though they did release one years later on like a burner Jawny had)

Also speaking of Dahir Insaat it was funny how in the recent C&I lp of FF7 Ironicus brought up that Midgard looks like a proof of concept piece from them

Yea the Umad stuff was amazing but I do get why Jawny would want to get out of doing it when so much of it kinda devolved into them laughing at literal kids uploading wrestling videos (though to be fair they were always pretty good about just laughing at the kids in a more good natured way than their usual 'you loving idiots don't do this' for more normal backyard bullshit).

This will always be one of my favorite Umads, though.

Yes, hounds are dogs now. Apparently this was a lowkey conflict during development.

And I still hate that they gave the dog with the goofiest art THAT flavor text.

I was thinking, wouldn't changing the title to something like Online Creators + Reviewers Thread 5.0 be a better fit/name nowadays? Thought that might make the scope a bit too general.
Also I'm bad with titles so "The Final Derail" is the best I came up with (I did like Platonically watching my favorites).
