  1. Cis is simply a descriptive term, the people who take offense are telling on themselves big time. Terf does carry implicit criticism, it means that someone is a bigot, but being critical is not the same as using hate speech. People don’t enjoy being called out for shitty behavior, a lot of objectively racist assholes vehemently and loudly reject being called racist. These people throw piss baby fits because they abhor the notion of anyone being critical of them for any reason even if their stated beliefs fit the descriptor. And Terfs do tend to be dishonest actors, spouting vile shit while claiming that they have no problem with trans women. Oppressors adopting the mantle of victimhood are not trying to have honest debate.
  2. Does Shauna literaly live 5 minutes away from the cult? She really hauled ass to get there seconds after Tai and Van.
  3. If he is potentially a love interest for Misty, his character would have to be completely batshit.
  4. I thought that was underwhelming, a really weak finale to an excellent season which ended up making the entire thing feel lesser. A whole lot of exertion to take relatively few steps. I can’t buy anyone working with Butcher again, ultimately he had a changed of heart, but as usual it was out of self interest, he would have killed thousands, just not his wife’s son. The Havel The Rock sized plot armor on dem Boys boys is getting ridiculous.
  5. We didn’t actually see what happened to him. Mallory passed out and woke to find him injured. Everyone assumed that it was part of the chaos from the attack and all the explosions. Mallory does not know the truth about what happened, as far as she knew, the Russians killed Soldier Boy and took his body.
  6. Can never get over how poor Vought security is, how has Compound V not been stolen a by a dozen rival companies by now? How do they keep any secrets at all? If Starlight had known Maeve was on site, she could have easily saved her.
  7. This show can’t go a whole season without Homelander and Soldier Boy would be an odd choice to replace him with a very similar but as yet much less interesting character. So far, Soldier Boy is little more than a plot point and thematic layering about the corruption of absolute power-he is Homelander Lite
  8. I cut out of Preacher with a few episodes still to go during season 2. It didn’t have enough of the wild stuff and the drama often fell flat on its face IMO. The casting was mostly good, except for Jesse, at least in those 2 seasons Cooper never settled into the role. In comparison to The Boys, I thought the changes were mostly terrible. A whole season in Jesse’s town made for a sluggish start, Arseface in hell was a disaster and, while I don’t know for sure, I doubt they ever justified adding in the sci-fi wrinkle of selling souls in vials which was just a baffling choice; why did Jesse need to grow up in a PKD novel rather than a Southern gothic nightmare?
  9. I think The Boys does tend to better the comic on the whole, unlike the deadly dull Preacher adaptation.
  10. RIP Philip Baker Hall, great character actor, staple of Paul Thomas Anderson films, and memorable as Bookman from Seinfeld.
  11. That would be for the best. The way it has been built up, Homelander has to fully snap by the end of this season. One more season dealing with him and the aftermath would make sense.
  12. Edgar probably dies this season. His arrogance and Homelander’s increasing independence don’t mix.
  13. I don’t even think Soldier Boy was simply captured by the Soviets, at least not without some deal with Vought. The whole set up is weird, why was Edgar there? Fucking up a covert op and losing a powerful asset harldy seems like the thing to fast track you to the very top of the company. Secreting away SB was the entire point of the excursion.
