Old Kentucky Shark posted:Antony Starr is a masterclass in twitchy face acting. Yeah Butcher is pretty much a unlikable trainwreck of character especially in terms of failed relationships.

Lawlicaust posted:Everything that happens to Deep in episode 7 is hilarious but so disturbing. The Gills scene was so uncomfortable and just kept going. The whole sub-plot of him bragging that he was the second in command with the Seven then getting exiled to Midwest for his various PR fiascos was pretty hilarious.

Deep's downward spiral, the black humor in the failed dolphin rescue and also getting exiled to the midwest was my favorite part of the show.

If Homelander ran as president in the current Chud support our troops political climate he would win a landslide victory.

Deuce posted:Finished the show, caught up in the thread. Just lol at the guy who kept calling Kimiko “demure.” She’s a Wolverine stand-in. She’s feral, and every scene with her has her on the edge of snapping and killing everyone in the room. (In addition to the scenes she does exactly that) That guy was quite the idiot taking offense and clutching his pearls over everything in a black comedy focused show.

GigaPeon posted:If they wanted to really to sell the cynicism of corporations doing "social" stuff in 2019, they should have had Homelander parade around with a rainbow flag cape for a month instead of going to PrayAwayTheGay-Con. I guess you never visited the US bible belt? Pretty hilarious driving along the highway see things like mega-church ads and anti-abortion billboards.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:The subversion of the Superman myth is so good. I felt violated during the scene on the farm. antony starr was a really incredible at this role for being evil superman but then occasionally making you feel bad for him like when he realizes his origin story was manufactured.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Ah. Haven't seen the tick. Probably need to rectify that. I enjoyed it and similar to The Boys it's a great satire/roast of the super hero genre.

AnEdgelord posted:I got the impression that The Tick was way more lighthearted than The Boys, not that thats a bad thing. Yeah it's a different type of genre roast and I would say it's not as mean spirited as The Boys which starts for example with the guy's girlfriend getting exploded by a tripping supe.

zoux posted:I picked up the first trade of the comics to see what it was like (it's so loving bad) and I'm so glad they chose not to use V on The Boys. In the book as soon as Hughie becomes a Boy they shoot him up with compound V and they can go toe-to-toe with the superpowered guys. It's way more interesting and complicated that if any of the heroes even so much as lays a hand on any of our lads they're loving dead meat. Yeah things like the beatdown fight with Translucent was pretty great since they had to cheat and fight dirty to knock him out cold. Even when they captured him they had no easy way to kill him.

Straight White Shark posted:Homelander doesn't really give a poo poo about power in the political sense, though. He doesn't particularly care about controlling what other people do or don't do, as long as he gets to do whatever he wants on a personal level. Yeah at the fundamental level he's pretty much driven by selfish and narcissistic goals. Antony Starr was incredible in the role.

The Clowner posted:He physically looks a lot like Fassbender, sure. They can both do menacing evil and subtle weakness quite well. Starr has an incredible talent for portraying barely-restrained malicious glee, something which I can't recall Fassbender ever doing but that's more because none of his roles have been as Chaotically Evil as Starr's Homelander.

Hizawk posted:He absolutely is bananas in The Boys though. Yeah the mannerisms and also physical appearance for the role casting was fantastic. You can also tell that Starr really enjoyed the craziness of the role. It's a fun a character since Homelander physically is a wrestling face character but deep down he's actually a heel character who really enjoys being able get away with anything.

Though the casting for the other heroes was really especially Translucent or Deep with his downward spiral into being exiled off to the Midwest.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:A-Train treated it kinda like super cocaine. He took it to get faster, so apparently it not only gets you high, it boosts your powers a bit as well. Downside is, apparently it's easy to overdose. The V "landlord" death scene from season 1 was really good.
