Madeline Stillwell, to Homelander, dot jaypeg

This is now a The Boys spoiler thread

Man what the fuck was with killing the Asian trafficking victim just so she could protect a white man

Okay her eyes opened again while I was typing this tweet, hahahaha FUCK HAHAHAHA

She's got some Wolverine shit, I was gonna be like "Wow this is what happens when you have all white writers"

I mean still kinda sus but like, lmao a dude sliced her from hip to sternum so it seemed pretty sure she was doneion rings

I love that the secret identities are just "Celebrity without makeup because what, some random celebrity is just hanging out"

"Feral pixie dream girl" pfffhahahahaha

Is there anyone worse than "The Deep"

Like I know that Homelander is a violent fascist psychopath but is there anyone actually worse than The Deep

I also like that Queen Maeve is bisexual

and also that she's an alcoholic

Like they have only just barely introduced this plot thread but I am hopeful that maybe they go somewhere good with it

Without resolution it would be very bad so fingers crossed

Wow they're just having the Asian woman be completely silent and also doing everything the white character wants

Mmmmm great writing, wow, such revolutionary takes on blah blah blah I hate it

Man this "Extremely nice skinny white boy not telling his girlfriend the truth" shit is wearing rrrrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyyyy THIN!!! It's been too many episodes with this shit! There isn't tension anymore! It's just boring and I'm waiting to get to the resolution!

This is what I meant when I said that Kipo had FANTASTIC pacing. Plot threads like this lasted like, 2, maybe 3 episodes, you'd say "Oh I wonder how this turns out" and then about an hour later you would see how this turns out. I've been waiting for like, 5 hours! Hurry up!!!

Like man I know that there's this conspiracy that global safety depends on but at this point you're just being really mean to this sweet midwestern girl

Also I don't fucking know chief, maybe having 1 of your 2 black characters be a drug-addict murderer whose dad was killed my gang violence and who kills his girlfriend is a PRETTY BAD FUCKING LOOK GUYS!!!!!!

Homelander accusing Annie of trying to get fish-dick fired to weaken the super league or whatever is such a dumb, powerful white guy thing to do I fucking love it

like "Oh no we lost the fish guy that none of us took seriously we're so weakennned" when it's just

reprisal against her because he's a fucking rapist

Aw I like Maeve

Man like

Homelander is literally the perfect representation of an abuser

Like he is the ur-abuser, it's incredible

I love Frenchie

having him be a trafficking victim was a nice touch

But also

maybe having someone that can empathize with a trafficking victim could have gone to like, oh I don't know

THE BLACK SOCIAL WORKER??? COME ON!

Haha okay I know he's a carboard cutout villain and sucks ass but having A-Train be like "Oh, you came alone, did you?" then check a 5-block radius in a second and be like "You actually came alone, what a fucking idiot you are!" is like, hahahaha

Oh wow time for the black character's love interest to have time on screen

It's just occurred to me that Karl Urban's love interest has had more screentime and she's dead

Okay I'd bet my own taint that she's not really dead but everyone else gets a love interest except M.M.

Dude if they kill Monique I'm going to riot

Man Homelander's gonna kill mommy you can slide your dick into and it's gonna be so hackneyed and tired and I can smell it coming and I hate it

If fishdick sexually assaults this poor Ohio woman I'm going to saw my legs off and staple my feet to my ass so that I walk around backwards

If they give fish rapist a character arc I'm gonna lose it

I guess they're having a girl rape him by finger-fucking his gills, I don't really like this either

Yeah actually that sucked

I think I'm about to watch Sora very literally get his arms shoved up his own ass so I'm looking for ward to this

Oh fuck this is a smart bit having him read his mind as he's kicking the shit out of him

Aw I thought he'd actually put his arms up his butt hahaha

Yeah take your life advice from VVodka woman haha

Dude I love the Deputy Director so fucking much hahahaha

Okay I know it's never going to happen but could you imagine if they actually had a decent look at a middle eastern man capable of getting justice for his country after decades and decades of imperialism

I will probably stop watching when they fuck this up

Cool our opening shot is of middle eastern people preparing drugs

great cool love it so cool

Like I know it's about how America is bad but the reality is that America kills people completely uninvolved in anything at all, and it kills kids when it does it.

Also needleneck white guy should have laid down and protected Annie with his body, fuck him, he sucks so bad it's not even funny

At this point the only thing that matters is Annie

The show needs to be Annie having good things

I have previously referred to pencilneck White Guy as the main character and I would like to formally apologize for publishing such patent lies

"It was either bird-watching or alcoholism... so... birds."

Is unironically one of the best lines in this entire show because sometimes it is either bird-watching or alcoholism

Kimiko's having a glow (don't love it) and has been for like, two episodes, at this point I'm just assuming that everyone else has been shitting in a bucket for the last 4 hours

Well it appears that they now have different things to worry about than where they will shit

I love Mallory

Also William being like "You trained me and manipulated me, then threw me away!" in front of the guy he's literally doing that to, haha

I'd be like "Hey man, can you be less on the nose about this"

Man they're literally playing "Everybody hurts" over the male rape victim

Haha lol funnie joke

Unless they take this to a good place

I wanted to be ugly too the first time I was assaulted, like that would keep me safe

Maybe him shaving his head doesn't have to suck?

Ugh fuck we'll see

Fucking LOL Annie's like "get the hell out of here" and pencil-neck literally walks away EXACTLY LIKE THIS

Michael Cera mo-capped this scene I am SURE OF IT!!!

"That's not saving you, that's just being there"

ugh god this show does have some bangers though

I want a superintendent to come yell at A-Train and be like "You get away from my trains! You're hurting the wheels, they need lubricant to not fall apart!!"

If they have the batman expy play jazz piano I'm going to make my cat my fucking heir

Aw fuck they have Gus Fring as the big bad this is gonna be DELICIOUSSSS

Aw man Amazon lady's not bad

Haha wow I did not expect captain fascism to be the mastermind

In fairness maybe having the symbol of american imperialism be the one that made the terrorists and empowered them should have been something I saw coming, hahaha

Okay maybe this show is good

That is so much tongue Madelyn

Come on man

What's with his skin

Oh fuck he's gonna kill her when he cums

Aw fuck I guarantee

Lmao I also want a hot older woman to ride me and call me her good boy and say she's gonna take care of mewhile I cum and say sorry over and over again hahaha

So honestly, no judgement, hahaha

Christ I wanna hate homelander so bad for this fuckin' weird mommy kink shit but honestly, fuckin' same dude

lmao I hate this hahaha

She really sells this affection for him sometimes though and I don't know what to do with that

Like it's, idk, it's clear that she is frightened of him and like

But the actress just sells it SO COMPLETELY in those scenes, I don't know what to think about how she feels abt him

Also I think that Captain Fash has just like, Alien'd™ her

Which feels like a stretch since she really isn't able to have kids without lots of ivf so like, idk about that one bro

God I love frenchie so much

Oh god I love Starlight

She's so cool

Kinda surprising, I feel like there's a lot fewer expensive special effects than you'd think for a show about super heroes, and the show does a decent job hiding it

Like I mean compared to an MCU movie

I am scared

Of a man named A-Train

Man this breakdown from A-Train sucks

oh wait he's overdosing

This feels convenient

lol he died fast and not excitingly

Aw!!! I feel like they're gonna do a secret girlfriend thing with Annie!

Also if A-train lives I'm gonna be pissed, you have no idea how rare it is for chest compressions to work, hahaha

No wait, I mean pencil-neck white guy is secret boyfriend, that's kinda fun!

Also why did homelander bring the baby

I mean I know why he did but jesus c'mon man

Yeah he murdered her

How novel and fucking original

I thought Becca would be alive

I thought the baby would be alive

I did not think Becca and the baby would both be alive

Also where do you go from that ending, jesus christ

Also like, y'know, fuck William, he killed that baby for no fucking goddamned reason

That was what Homelander wanted to happen to the baby!

If anything he should have made sure it lived, just to piss Homelander off!

Anyway that was dumb

Anyway that's the end of season 1, time for me to sleep and find out tomorrow if I have COVID or not, ha, what a time to be alive

I swear to god Obama said that this was his favorite show just to fuck with us

OH FUCK WAIT!!!

I bet we've already seen Batman guy doin' stuff, we just don't know they're batman guy! Maybe they're not even a guy!!

This is one of those parts where it's probably obvious or something on a 3rd watch but I never look that hard on these things, haha

Did we need a look inside the burnt-out husk of weird mommy-wife's skull

Like were they like "Hey, know what that stale, tired trope of men brutally murdering their intimate partners needs? More graphic violence, and more lingering shots on their brutalized corpses"

I will say that the metaphor of Captain Fash as abuser works real fucking well in this scene

Like, the relationship with the abuser ends, often dangerously, when they are made fully aware of their own violence in a way that they can no longer pretend to be ignoring

Anyway mommy-wife was a real fucking shitty person, but having an abused, frightened woman tell her abuser how afraid she is of him seconds before he murders her is just so, so,

so

fucking yawn

This isn't to say that like, it doesn't make sense for Capn Fash to have done that, just that like,

It's another example of a fridge'd woman, where a woman is brutally murdered for the audience for the sake of a man's character development or growth

Actually Karl Urban's wife is maybe like, a weird inversion of this trope where she's fridged and then graphically fridged and then un-fridged at the end
