It's retarded when left wing people do things like this, and it's retarded when right wing people act in the same manner we.

Thousands of American families could not see their dying relatives or have a funeral for their deceased loved ones. I know some who couldn't be with their parents or grandparents as they died.

Despite what happened to him, the fact, during COVID when people were forcibly isolated and locked in their homes, that a man would be given a state funeral in a gold casket, regardless of the circumstances of his death or background, was insane.

@BeigeFrequency Can't believe I'm saying this, but starting to think Joe Cumia may have been right about this dude.

It was very obvious. They even had the Buffalo dude in it (though you can't see him here). They even had Q imagery.

And separate the art from the artist? The dude wrote the show! It was his brain child.

Dude, just take the L here, seriously.

For a guy whose entire YouTube career is based on criticizing others, you really have a blind spot for self-reflection.

[R. M. S. Thornton @RMSThornton]

This is a fundamental misunderstanding in writing. It's not about wanting a villain to win. It's about wanting a villain that's 1. Complex and 2. Competent.

It's the reason why Vader, the Joker, were such an amazing villains. And without them, their franchises would never be what they were today.

What baooaned to Homelander wasn't a complex cinematic battle, but an ending that was a reflection of writers' bizarre sexual punishment fantasy, which was undoubtedly influenced by politics.

What is ironic was Anthony Starr really carried this series, not the writers. He worked to make Homelander so he was more than a cartoonish Trump parody. And ironically, the more the writers tried to humiliate the character, the more audiences were drawn to him. In other words, the writers strangely undermined their own internal narrative.

It's ok to let ideology influence your writing. It happens whether you're conscious of it or not. But there is a point where the influence can become so overbearing that it soils the end product.

It's like using salt in a meal--a little bit gives the meal flavor. Too much makes it taste bad. Way too much is toxic.

The Boys will almost certainly go down as a show that was strong out of the gate, but imploded because Eric Kripke couldn't control himself.

[YIA caitlinnnnnn @foxgirlcafe]

why do people want villains to win so bad lmfao

@Kristo67501283 Toughest* Learn to spell. Jesus.

Also, The Boy's finale was nothing more than a pathetic way to get rid of a villain they built up, not in some cineatmic way, but clearly just as a means to satisfy Eric Kripke's bizarre gay-sex punishment fantasy.
