In relation to the video I helped cover a few days ago, since moviebob believes video essays have fallen off nowadays and that everyone just keeps circling the same boring answers, here's a bunch of good, worthwhile, passionate video essays from the past few years!🧵
I think this really shows just how rushed the pacing of this series is.
Hank spent the few scenes he had in S2 shit-talking Superman, got blasted out of the sky in the season finale, and already he’s gone full-on Homelander.
A little difficult to get invested in his downfall.
@DanGuy96 Facts
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if he was a General Eiling clone, but they skip straight to Homelander so quickly that he becomes an inferior version of Eiling. Which not only sucks, but makes me wish I was watching a better show
Hot take
Making him more like Snyder Superman would be an improvement
Hank Henshaw so far is the dullest villain we've gotten in this show so far. And that's saying a lot.
The most disturbing part of part 3 is when Reckless Ben reveals Bricks and Minifigs subpoenaed Google to trap him. Ammon McNeff tricked Ben into emailing their franchise department instead of the ghost email on their site to legally demand his private data.
Google handed over hundreds of hours of raw footage, emails, search history, and location metadata. This behavior is dangerous because it weaponizes legal discovery to spy on a journalist and silence free speech.
Instead of addressing the big theft, Ammon used a coordinated trap to strip his privacy. It shows the terrifying lengths BAM leadership will go to intimidate and silence anyone exposing their bad practices.
@spkzqr2zk9 Honestly
The fact that Lex drew a line where Hank wouldn't is the reason I think he's only marginally better
Hank is being everything he criticized Superman of being without any throughline to show why.
The dude is a General Eiling knockoff, and the worst we've had so far
@VaggieIsBae But people have been pleased with past designs and don't hold these characters to an unrealistic expectation. So why should I care about their perspective if it doesn't reflect reality?
I feel like we're arguing past each other here.
This needs to be studied
How did you take the wealth of inspiration from countless generations of these iconic villains in prior works, and end up with something akin to the cast of an Overwatch knockoff?
