why did they change butcher's wife's death? makes butcher's motive a lot weaker. also black noir's costume is horrendous not sure why they didn't make that more like the book too.

NutritiousSnack posted:Wrong, You mean Black Noir. A big thing about Homelander was that he wasn't a rapist ever, and his mental collpase from vapid celebrity to insane monster was because of his clone/Black Noir sending him pictures of Black Noir raping women, eating babies, and other poo poo from his clone going insane from his own failed programing to kill Homerlander Did you miss the part of the page that it was previously discussed? I'm fine with them not going after other groups yet; they mention enough of them this season, and I never cared for 'this team is lovely...' 'this team is also lovely...' stuff. I'm wondering if next season they'll spend any time on Tek-Knight they investigated him in a murder case; and he had a compulsion where he couldn't stop loving things (due to a fist-sized brain tumor)

Started yesterday and I'm already done. Been a while since I've binged a show like that. Very promising first season, I actually liked it quite a bit better than the source material, which isn't something that happens a whole lot. They could have made it a lot more Garth Ennis, but I'm very glad they restrained themselves somewhat and didn't.

It made me think that someone should have a go at The Losers, but then I remembered that they already made a lovely movie of that, googled it, and uh haha

Wayyy better the comic, especially since its written more as a satire of celebrity culture/the military-industrial complex rather than juvenile anti-superhero bullshit

Only on episode 3, but I think A-Train has learned a valuable lesson about just not stopping when you accidentally blow someone up.

the end of the last episode ruined one of the few actually interesting parts of the comic. using one of my favorite songs ever softened the blow.

Only through one episode......and so far so good. Just heard about it this morning. Good to know that Homelander is a character to get excited about. Banshee on Cinemax was a super fun show. Very entertaining.....so I'm already a fan of Antony Starr.

quick question, how rapey is this show? i remember the comics being very bad about that subject, and when i pulled up the first episode to watch with my fiancee i saw that content tag and basically noped right back out to the main page and was like "ok maybe I should check this out on my own first." what am I potentially getting into here?

Just finished season 1. This is so much better than the source material, which i enjoyed. I like the new direction they have taken it, and the changes are positive. Forget what you know from the comics.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:quick question, how rapey is this show? Not that much rapey. SPOILERS: You get the Starlight being coerced to give a blowjob to The Deep scene. That's on episode 1. There's the big night club weird sex scenes, also on episode 1. The Deep getting his gills touched without his consent and after saying no during a sex scene. Which is of course implying rape. And might be a bit uncomfortable for some people. You get told that Butcher's wife got raped, but you get nothing graphical about it. There's the murder by cunnilingus scene that was shown on the trailer, a few odd mommy-kinks, and the rest is very vanilla missionary sex scenes. And that's about it. It is very graphical when it comes to violence, so just beware a bit on that.

okay, so it's not nearly as bad as the comics. thank you God. gore and consensual titties are A-OK, half of why I'm into this show is because Antony Starr's on it and Banshee loving owned WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jul 27, 2019 |

Four episodes in and I'm pretty hooked on this, seems really well done. I only read one... maybe two of the comics? I remember hearing mixed things. Sounds like this is a smart adaptation.

Zaphod42 posted:Four episodes in and I'm pretty hooked on this, seems really well done. Yeah parts of the first episode seemed very familiar. I think I might have read a book or two as well, and I seem to remember putting it down because it was super tryhard edgy with all the sexual violence. There's still a bit of that in the show, but not too too much.

LadyPictureShow posted:Did you miss the part of the page that it was previously discussed? Actually, I didn't! The thing is with the plot as advanced as it has, with all the urgency involved, I wonder if they could intergrate that stuff though now. I agree 3 seasons of it would be good, but handling poo poo the X-Men parody is really loving poignant at the moment, more than even normal #MeToo stuff. The Jeffery Epstein echos do need to be talked about NutritiousSnack fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jul 27, 2019 |

Random Stranger posted:I don't remember if it was from the comic, but the _dolphin_ in episode 4 was a perfect example of good Garth Ennis stuff: simultaneously horrible and juvenile but also so completely absurd that you have to laugh. The show does have a fair share of lovely Ennis nihilism running through it, but the worst excesses of the comic seem to be gone and there are moments like that which work. Pretty much my thoughts beat by beat. Turning the dial back on the egregiousness of the source material was a smart move imo. I love that Simon pegg came on board as the dad. I had no idea he was involved, though read nothing about the show other than Rogan and goldberg were developing it for amazon. I dont recall ever seeing the homelander actor in anything and I thought he knocked it out of the park. I enjoyed where they went in the finale and hope it gets picked up for a second season.

I binged the whole thing overnight and I loved quite a lot of it, I wasn't a massive fan of the book either so I don't care much about accuracy there Am I just a pervert or were they really hinting that Elizabeth Shues character was Homelanders mother? I don't remember if that was in the book, but given his fixation on her lactating, and jealousy of the other baby, they definitely had a mom-son dynamic right?

I don't think it was hinting at that but her being a mother figure to him was definitely something she exploited to better control and manipulate Homelander.

It's a freudian sex thing because he was raised as a lab experiment with no human affection so hes really jealous of that baby

My wife had to work last night so she has the show on and the bad part about binging shows is not being able to absorb and appreciate some of the smaller moments like when The Female hosed everyone up so severely that the last guy living just shot himself in the head instead of taking the mauling lol

I liked the finale. Tied up one of the biggest lose ends for next season in motivating why Homelander wouldn't just murder them all, introducing next seasons big bad and throwing Butchers underlying stake out the window. I wish I knew where they were going with knock-off Aquaman but I guess we will see.

I think they threw that out the window, despite both being the reason for his name and one of the most interesting/well written things in the book, because it's interlinked with so much Ennis black sex humor. Also I'm glad Stormfront is in this, but I'm praying they don't let up the shitiness of the character whatsoever, and just let there be a Nazi Thor who is a woman
