Brokeloser:
I saw a twitter post complaining about that 2.5D anime being heavily censored I've been looking forward to this anime for some months now and this is a heavy disappointment.

Funny thing is immediately after I saw the post that Heineken advert where a fat Asian female steals the man's reward for his efforts from van dijk came up and I couldn't help but think DEI,a few years back only "incel losers" watched anime now every studio is trying to cash in while destroying everything we love about anime.

What anime?

Copied from Reddit. They are cooking the show on r/TheBoys

Every Season Has Been Exactly The Same: A Breakdown

Season villain starts with security footage

“Holy shit is that fookin’ Lamplighter/Liberty(Stromfront)/Soldier Boy/Sister Sage?? What’re they doing here!?!?”


“Let’s blackmail them!”
“Oh Bleep it didn’t work…”

MM:

Wife: “You need to fix this, Marvin! For your baby girl”

MM: “But muh anxiety”


Butcher:

“Oi we need to kill ‘omelandah”

“Oh hell no, no way we’re bringing you back”

“Shit guys, maybe we need Butcher…”

*Butcher returns*



Frenchie:

“I am le sad because I le killed people. Now time to self destruct with drugs”


Kimiko:

“I am sad because Frenchie is sad.”
Also human trafficking plot that goes nowhere


Homelander:

“Ooooo im gonna lose it! Any minute now I’m gonna start killing everyone. Better keep watching until I do! It’s gonna be soon, I swear!”



Hughie:

*human punching bag*

Don’t forget the classic.
“Guys we gotta infiltrate this thing, even though it’s extremely dangerous and we always get caught”

“Wtf Homelander is here! How can this be!!”

“We gotta get out of here!!”

*cue The Boys barely escaping with at least 2 death fakeouts and 2 characters conveniently running into each other for a conversation*




Crazy how accurate this has been

oyaskii:
lmaoo...The scene totally took me out.
By the way, This season is totally looking like a filler season, with little plot progression, i mean the plot that matters. It is suffering from a classic 3rd season syndrome some shows go through, where a show has a good first 2 seasons, then they try to experiment with the third, instead of just getting out while the ovation is loudest with a banger final season, oddly enough it is happening at S4 with this, clearly meaning this show has sadly over stayed it's welcome and it's basically one season too many already.

I mean the writers room for this season must be so jolly, it's like the show runners told dem writers to hit them with their most perverted ideas, and the best ones stuck. I know the show thrives on this oddity and shock value, but it has worn off since, for me at least, predictably, outside these weird and perverted high moments, it starts to look like a very ordinary show, like you could actually skip all the scenes in this episode and just see the last 5 minutes or so and you'd be alright.

Only Butcher's arc seems to be getting any meaningful progression, he is the only person actually serious with the ultimate business of the show, which is to dead Homelander, at this point. The other goons are just going on meaningless side gigs that basically adds nothing. Butcher's 5 minutes screen time this week, it's like the most important since this S4 even began. I'm just seeing out the rest of the season now, because i am too vested to drop it, but i ain't really expecting much.

They are probably keeping the main story for the final season tho...

Soldier Boy will return, Maeve might return, several members of the Seven will probably die...

The final season might be epic

blingxx:
The boys s4E6

Homelander found his heaven again , now we all know how useless sage is without her powers, but she still help neuman in the president race.. A-train might die this season, homelander will find it

How did Firecracker know about Homelander's milk fetish sef?

That stuff isn't public knowledge as far as I know...
And Sister Sage wouldn't tell her if she herself knew...

#Copied from a Reddit post.

Perfect summary of the latest episode of The Boys -

"Everyone hated IGNs 7/10 review before the season previewed including me, but Im starting to agree with the rating.

I genuienly think this might be the worst episode of the boys, and unless the last two episodes are drastically different this will be much lower in quality than season 3.


1. The Plot Twist reveal was just as obvious as the one in Rings of Power

2. The "Sex Gags" have literally been in every episode this season, its absoluetly "The authors barely disquised fetish"

3. The Sexual Assault scene was played for laughs and took WAY to much screentime, and was completely betrayed by Hughies breakdown at the end sabotaging the intention of the scene.


4. The Director stating that Hughies scene was supposed to be played as funny lets me question his judgement.

5. Homelander getting the idiot hat and barely reacting when he noticed Sage was shot in the head.

6. Homelander despite being shown to have extremely powerful superhuman hearing not noticing two fights in the mansion, including a gunshot and two bodies falling on the ground."



Been saying it tho...
We are 6 episodes in this season and it feels like so far it's been 90% filler.

We wasted an entire 1 hour episode on a kink party...

PinkNature:
I believe the information you're trying to put across but lack the proper diction to convey your thoughts is that you wasted your time watching the movie

Funny enough I don't regret watching it...

I enjoyed watching it even though it barely made any sense to me

Dragon Raja: The Blazing Dawn season 1.....8/10

Synopsis:

Lu Mingfei is a typical high school kid getting ready to graduate; he receives an acceptance letter from Cassell College, school with a simple mission: protect humanity from dragons.

Illusioneffect:
Bro exactly, the story is absurd! It's like they're just going for side quests to make up for 8 episodes and just trying to make baseless and insane clips for Twitter

Right now the season is just a compilation of "What the fûck?" scenes with the barest plot linking them...


This is weird because according to the comic readers, that's how the comic was and it was without any other substance

Carot:
Is sex involved?

There are a few sexual scenes but not much overall

Frenchie's entire side quest/character arc is annoying and pointless to me...
The whole thing is unconvincing and an utter waste of time that should have been used to further the plot...

Why do some Hollywood shows do this? They just introduce pointless character arcs randomly that serve no interest to the main plot...
It's like they don't know what other drama to add this season so they keep wasting time on these...

We all know this Sister Sage and Firecracker are filler characters that will probably die at the end of this season since they barely add anything to the main plot...

6 episodes in this season and the plot has barely moved at all...
It feels like this season is 95% filler...

This entire episode was wasted in some kink dinner...

I'm still enjoying the show but I would rather the plot actually advance than all these...

Hopefully the last episodes will actually have a lot of content integral to the plot

Chibudollar:
The Boys season 4 episode 6 chai. What a disgusting episode. The writers mannn . DISGUSTING. And the theory about that guy being a hallucination was right after all

Immediately I saw this post with spoilers some hours ago, I just knew I had to watch the episode immediately to avoid more posts like this

GloriousGbola:
Good God Almighty!

The main issue here is that they don't really have a story to tell nor competent writers, but they want to make a show for money...

So they will keep ruining the franchise...

Antiporno (2016)


I tried to make sense of this movie but I could barely make sense of it...
Maybe there's some sense to it, but the poor subtitles I got didn't help...

I'm sure there are some blogs somewhere talking about the depth of the movie...

The visuals and music were pretty good tho...

DieRich5:
Why did he also kill his daughters? It's really sad watching it


2/3 children is gone

That's some insane level of dedication.

I watched the episode yesterday and was like wtf...

DeeScan:
was the box about creating clones or transporting btw universes 🥴🥴

No one really knows at this point after numerous Jason Ones returned to the same universe

jikins:
Apparently she is written in the show to be more likeable compared to the books where she can't be labelled as soft at all.

Truth is neither Alicent and this version of Rhaenyra are good at the game of throne. They are playing it with their emotions rather than their head.

Alicent should have definitely had her captured if she was using her head and for Rhaenyra well you have made that point already.

But it does drives the viewers more to Rhaenyra's side which is what they were going for I guess.

I honestly don't get why the writers think people will like a goody-two-shoes character.
The audience knows the show we are watching and will support characters even if they make harsh decisions.

I didn't see anyone lose support for Daemon for the death of the baby.

I'm just hoping that now that Rhaenyra knows her father never changed his mind, she will be more determined and she will feel vindicated for everything she does next

Rhaenyra is beginning to annoy me.

A completely pointless risk with zero rewards. There was never any benefit to meeting Alicent.
Things had already escalated way beyond cheap discourse.
So much risk to meet Alicent that she hasn't met in months...someone she doesn't even know if she has changed...


Even if she convinced Alicent, what would Alicent do exactly? Is she the one on the throne?

Alicent does not have the power to end the war...so it was a completely pointless meeting with no benefit whatsoever...

Imagine putting yourself and your entire cause at risk for nonsense...

I'm starting to think Rhaenyra is not just soft but becoming fôolish as well...
That is why she needs someone like Daemon at her side...

It seems like the only thing their meeting achieved was that now Rhaenyra would know that whatever she does next she had a right to...

But still a pretty unnecessary and fôolish risk that raises some eyebrows to the writing of this episode

ositadima1:
No, you haven't quite grasped how this alternate universe concept works. Using "Counterpart" and "Loki" as references, the universes usually start from one source, at least as far as we're shown. From there, it splits whenever a substantially weighty decision is made. I think that's the approach adopted in this show. Every significant, life-changing decision births a new universe.

So, a Jason in one universe might spawn a new universe when he decides to skip work, and that new universe will spawn yet another at a subsequent decision point. In other words, we could start with 10 universes, for example, and end up with 1 million of them down the line.

Because each of these Jasons thinks they're from one particular universe from which they were taken, they all tried to make it back. For all we know, the winning Jason may just be one of the many alternate spawns and not even the original one.

So to be clear, these Jason clones are actually formed from universes that didn't exist before Jason 1 went into the box?

Sounds like a very messy concept and shows some of my issues with the whole multiverse concept

If it were Attack on Titan, they'd call it milking the series...

But since it's Demon Slayer, no one is batting an eyelid despite the superobvious milking and cash-grabbing by splitting the final arc into 3 movies

ositadima1:
I don't think there are more Jasons than there are universes, but the parallel universe concept is indeed messy, though it's the experience the producers intended to convey. Let's start with Jason One (based on where we all started counting). He was forcefully transferred to the universe of Jason, the inventor of the box. Upon arriving in that universe, the same decisions and subsequent splitting of universes still applied.

The Jasons resulted from the decisions he made in that universe (of Jason, the inventor of the box), plus other Jasons that emerged due to decisions made after using the box to travel to other universes. Each one is a fork of the original Jason who was forcefully taken away, as they all remembered being kidnapped and dumped in an alternate universe.

As you may have gathered, they found their way back to their ground zero. I'm sure there are many more who didn't. In one of the scenes, Jason and Amanda returned to what seemed to them to be Jason the box maker's and Amanda's original universe, only to see versions of themselves trying to flee while Amanda got murdered. I guess that was yet another universe.

It's messy, but it still makes sense. According to the show, there were an infinite number of universes, each branching out at each decision point. You need to watch Loki seasons one and two; they were cool.

Since all the Jason 1s recall being taken from their universe and all are fully convinced that this universe is theirs, doesn't this then mean there are more Jasons than universes?

Recall that almost all the universes explored also had their own Jasons.

Recall also that all these Jason 1s came from the same universe and returned to the same.

That means there are multiple Jasons who came from the main universe...

Worse still, even if all these Jasons decide to find another universe, they would meet different Jasons in those universes too and in turn they themselves would lead to further more Jasons.


This automatically creates a scenerio where there are more Jasons than universes even though they are both infinite

DieRich5:
kid?

Meh the cartoon is really nice tho

I don't know

ositadima1:
Spoiler Warning

Issue one is plausible; we should have seen more clones of Amanda along with their Jasons, though one of the clones (let me use "clone" for the moment) admitted he lost her in another parallel universe.

However, your issue two is not an issue at all. The idea here is that whenever a major decision is made, the universe splits, not the box. The box is only a bridge. Even without the existence of the box, there would have been many Jasons, all blissfully ignorant of the others. I think they got this idea from the show "Loki." Remember when the alternate realities were growing uncontrollably towards the end of the show after they murdered the show's boss? The boss in that show had found a way to keep it in check.

I haven't seen Loki...

Now let's talk about this Statement. Basically you're saying the universe splits based on different decisions and not the box establishing new verses or clones.
That's fine...


However, herein lies the issue-
Why did all these Jason 1 clones arrived at the same universe claiming they were from there?
They didn't arrive at multiple universes if the universes split, but only arrive at the single one.


This in my opinion creates a problem whereby there are more Jasons than universes... because almost every of the universes visited already had their own Jasons...

If there are more Jasons than universes, doesn't that mean through the intervention of the box, more Jasons were created?

Dark Matter (2024).......7/10


I will copy my Reddit review here -

Unpopular opinion: The last few episodes broke the series for me... especially the ISSUE 2

I guess I will be downvoted a lot but I'll say my opinion anyway. I have serious issues with how the last few episodes went down. I have also never read the book/books. I heard a second season is unlikely as the books have concluded, so I'll type this now -

ISSUE 1 - Unresolved plotlines.

Amanda finally found a world which she felt satisfied with and could finally live her life. However Jason quietly left some of the serum with her and we see nothing on that again. This can be seen as a decent conclusion to her character journey.

But with the introduction of clones who opened different doors/made different decisions, this leads to unresolved questions as to her clones and where they are.

The version of Leighton who went after Jason 1 and Amanda was completely forgotten by the plot. Did he just remain lost in the box forever with all the clones he makes? We don't know because it's unconcluded and he was forgotten by the writers.



ISSUE 2 - The mechanics of the Box

The introduction of the Jason 1 clones completely broke the mechanics of the show and did unrepairable damage to its writing in my opinion.

Ignoring the fact that it doesn't even make any sense how it works even with the suspension of belief, the box is more of a device that links across the multiple unlimited worlds through imagination.

In other words, the box was meant to serve as a link between an unlimited number of already existing universes, not creating new universes. If it were creating universes based on imagination, then that would mean that Jason 2 created a device that could create entire universes including humans, planets, solar systems etc...

Now herein lies the problem. It's one thing for there to be different versions of Jason in different universes, it's another for there to be multiple clones of the same version of Jason all because of different choices and doors opened.

It becomes so broken that the box is practically creating full blooded clones rather than just linking worlds through imagination...

To put this into context, the box is creating entire human clones.

That means that Jason 2 created a box that can fully clone an entire human being.


Anyway, the series is still a 7/10 to me...rather than the 9/10 I was hoping it would become

Broskyjames:
The problem is that you are looking for a deeper than life philosophical meaning in the show, where every nitty gritty will be explained to you in white and black. It is metaphorical take on sacrifice and consequences, and these theme were treated squarely.



A version of Amanda was shown to be distraught with her personal life, and her plotline concluded with her finding a world, where she found happiness with a family. A version of Leighton was shown to be an adventurous spirit, wanting to explore and live life, this version, was given a conclusion in the end, where he was able to explore and travel between verses undisturbed.

What about the other Amandas?

And Jason 1 also gave Amanda some of the serum if we remember.

What about the Leighton who chased them into the box and his clones? Lost forever?
If one Leighton was given a conclusion, what about the version who we followed from the early episodes?

We are to just accept he kept roaming around with the clones he creates in different verses forever? Because he seemed determined to find them.
How is that a conclusion for his character?

The author commented on this, he created the box, so he knew how to avoid the quirks and travel better.

I didn't know I had to be following the author up and down for his comments because he failed to tie up a loose end in his released story...

Them staying in a world with unknown number of Jasons and constantly looking over their shoulder would have been a better ending? It makes no sense. Them leaving, and trusting the instincts of Charlie to lead them to a better world seems a logical ending

Be realistic here...despite the choas, no one would actually just leave their world to the unknown just like that... without arguments complaints or exhausting all other options...

Options that include leaving the country so they can at least keep up with the life they knew...
It's far more realistic that searching for another new world which they don't know...

I doubt it will get renewed since they exhausted the book, and personally I don't see the sense in it. They didn't even have enough story to stretch it to a standard 10 episodes, so i wonder what story season 2 is going to tell, that will drive the plot any better than it already is.

Honestly feels like so many plotlines were left unresolved. And even the ending left some hints in hope it gets renewed for a second season...

I'll come out and say it...
I'm not a fan of unresolved plotlines especially for a story I followed as it aired...

I'm also not a fan of unplanned writing...

It basically feels like the writer/writers had lots of ideas and winged it as they went along...there was never any clear pathway for the story to follow...

It just feels like someone had some nice ideas and just started winging it as the spirit leads rather than having a clear path and a clear goal the story wanted to achieve.

Not comparing...but I had this same issue with The Blacklist where the writers were just winging it rather than planning ahead...


Also, so much of how the box works makes absolutely no sense even with the suspension of belief...
The whole clone thing breaks the entire narrative. It's one thing for there to be different versions in different universe, it's another for there to be multiple clones of the same version of Jason all because of different doors opened.

It's becomes so broken that the box is practically creating full blooded clones rather than linking worlds through imagination...

Broskyjames:
E b like you like unnecessary elongation of series till it becomes bland

Those storyline you mentioned aren't important or doesn't drive the plot anywhere, if they discovered thier bodies, what will then happen? There will be an investigation? To what end? You seriously think this deserve a second season for this?

The plot that matters, is between the Jason, Jason2, Daniella and Charlie, maybe some other minor characters along the way and in the end, they all had a perfect end.

I don't like elongated series, I like concluded storylines.

The storylines of both Amanda and Leighton were unconcluded. One of the Leighton's followed them but we never saw what happened to him or the various "clones" he probably made along the way.

And why are there no clones of Jason 2 since he made different choices in the box too?

And Daniela and Charlie just agreed to leave the entire universe just like that? That's so unrealistic. No one just decides to leave a universe for the unknoen. They have attachments...

They left cos more and more Jasons would keep popping up, I know but it's far more realistic to leave to another state entirely...even with the confusion with the police of many Jasons popping out of nowhere and killing each other...

Or maybe all these get handled better in season 2 if it gets renewed.

I think the show had a lot of good ideas but a very shaky execution of them. Most things in the show don't really make sense

Almost done with Dark Matter season 1. I just started the final episode

Is there gonna be a season 2 or these storylines were just abandoned and forgotten about?

And what happened to the other dead Jasons. Especially the ones that died in public places.
The police didn't discover their bodies?

Including the one that died in that college? They didn't come to their house to ask questions?

Or do corpses just disappear in this world?

ProverbBaelish:
The Boys S4 storyline is not sticking for me unfortunately. This latest chicken episode is not good storywise. it looks like they're just trying to be offensive and top up its insanity without good context. People are just dying without any repercussions whatsoever like it's a CW cartoon. Hughie's dad killed a lot of people in a public hospital and no one's going to say anything about it because it's not part of the storyline, he just dies?! how does that make any sense? it is like they are not in a real world setting anymore, like it is a series like Flash. If it was like a secret superhero hospital, that's different but a public hospital? they even have the time to give him drugs and I'm sure there'll be a funeral too, wtf??!

They're just racking up a bunch of crazy events without any serious consequences lol...
No police or anything came to the hospital...
Almost like the murders never happened...


And notice how the main characters never get injured by these random wtf events...except Kimiko who can of course regenerate...

ProverbBaelish:
you're being serious you've never heard of inside out??

Never heard of it...

Or maybe I have but it didn't catch my attention

Ballzproblemm:
First film to cross 1bn , thought it would be Deadpool

Never heard of it...
I guess kids love it or something

PinkNature:
Get a life and stop posting spoilers.

No offencce intended.

The episode has been out for about 2 days...

You've had enough time to watch it.

I didn't complain when you guys were talking about Dark Matter because I still haven't seen the finale since
