The Boys continues to mirror real life, this time accidentally. Homelander had his “better than Jesus” moment in an episode released just days after Trump heretically depicted himself as Jesus. it’s so fucking funny

RIP. This is a man who not only survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, but spent the rest of his life trying to raise awareness of how the US even killed *our own soldiers* who were POWs there with the bombing.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow easter egg: in the preshow, Lonnie leaves Joyce a message for Joyce via Bob’s radio show: “i’m sorry Joyce, she meant nothing to me!” it appears Lonnie cheated on Joyce while they were in high school…. once a bastard, always a bastard

i think three things can be simultaneously true: Chappell Roan says ridiculous things sometimes, she’s an out of touch privileged celebrity, and she wouldn’t get nearly as much hate if she weren’t a woman or a lesbian. she’s not beyond criticism, but the homophobia and misogyny she gets is CRAZY

there are some valid criticisms of Winds and Waves, but it’s far too early to fairly judge it and there have been major improvements that haven’t been recognized. a lot of the complaints have been made in bad faith and ppl calling it “slop” are miserable edge lords who hate joy

the ppl who are bashing gen 10 of pokemon fall into two camps: ragebaiters and miserable assholes who will never be happy with anything the franchise puts out. the graphics look great, they’re taking time with the game, and the starters are cute. ppl just thrive off negativity for some reason….

i of course empathize with those burned out by SWSH and SV. the latter was particularly buggy and felt unfinished. but Arceus and ZA were vast improvements over their respective predecessors, and Nintendo taking their time proves that they’re listening at least

Fennekin is the closest we’ve had to a dog starter, but that’s a reach imo. a fox and a domesticated pomeranian are two completely different animals. the pokemon are based on two vastly different concepts. again, it’s looking for smth to complain abt
comparing Pombon to Growlithe is kinda unfair imo. they’re completely different breeds of dog, and there are tons of other dog pokemon too. if anything, Houndour is a more apt comparison (two stage fire dog evolution line). and we’ve never had a dog starter either. so ppl need to chill

normally a story with a lot of plotholes would bother me, but this is ST i’m talking abt. plotholes have been present since season 1. i’ve ever held it to the standard i hold shows like Andor. like i don’t rlly care that they forgot Will’s bday in s4, or the inconsistent powers of demogorgons
#StrangerThings ending was okay imo. the finale was riddled with plotholes and contrivances, but that’s just always how this show has been. i feel like most of the characters got fitting ends, and that most of the plot beats were wrapped up in decent ways. it was never gonna be 10/10

idfc about ships. i care abt plot, dialogue, character arcs, and a naturally flowing story. ST5 v2 was lacking in all of those departments. did i like it? yes. was it good? i’d say no. but others can be the judge
newsflash: ST5 isn’t “poorly written” just bc your fav ship didn’t happen or wasn’t endgame. it’s poorly written bc it’s poorly fuckin written 😭

if the Stranger Things ending involves anything being retconned via time travel i will hate it.

wonder if they’re going to clarify the whole Shady Sands mixup from Fallout s1 in the new season. probs easy to address with just a line of dialogue or two between Lucy and House, since he’d definitely be in the know

this COULD HAVE been helped had they decided to keep the Shaak Ti deleted scene, but no. GG looks like a total fraud :/
but then he 1) flees the Battle of Coruscant like a wimp and 2) dies in his duel with Obi-Wan. he has no onscreen feats whatsoever. he’s just a one and done villain in an already convoluted movie stuffed with a lot of characters. Grievous comes off as a generic, underwhelming henchman

for a specific example: Count Dooku is very intimidating in TCW because we’ve seen him defeat Anakin and Obi-Wan multiple times. he’s also fended off the likes of Yoda. he commands a lot of gravitas.
like imagine it’s TCW. a villain that’s more powerful than padawan Ahsoka isn’t that big a deal. but a villain more powerful than Obi-Wan, a jedi master? that’s something to be afraid of. creates higher stakes for our heroes opposing them

MBAV actually does a surprisingly good job of setting up its main s2 antagonist! we know they’re a powerful mage who hates vampires just from the first episode. only thing i would’ve done differently is compare their power level to Benny’s gma instead of Benny himself
