The episode is not a 1/10 or a 2/10

Neither is it a 10/10 or a 9/10...so both sides are reviewbombing...

And imo you're just as guilty as they are lol...

There's no way you watched that episode and thought it was honestly a 9/10...
That is incredible bias.

It's the worst or 2nd worst episode in the season so far...
I don't know- it wasn't bad to me- or maybe I wasn't focused enough on it

HoTD S2E6 - 9/10
It's just being review bombed because of the kiss : I'm not surprised they've to implement the message one way or the other

This is why The Boys S4 is the weakest season yet

Too many slow burn, filler episodes and irrelevant sub-plots.

The finale was great.

But I need the final season to be a banger from start to finish.

None of these slow set up and filler sub-plots, we're done with all that.

Not really bruh.

TWISTERS is overperforming and the two animation films of the summer are still legging superbly all week long.
maybe, its effects may have reduced but dm4 dropped 71% from last week yesterday

What's going on with movies😪. Throughout the week, cinema going in the United States dipped significantly because of the Trump assassination attempt - Everyone in the US here are on Twitter/X, everyone is just locked in online. I wonder how the political conflicts of Biden's apparent dropout from the race and Trump's event affects the box office of Deadpool and Wolverine.
We shall see

I watched the scene where Starlight got into the vault and was like wtf??
No way they let her in there knowing there's an assassin trying to kill the President Elect...

When asked how she found them, she said she used "Find my phone" grin
Like wtf is that?😂
TV/MoviesRe: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Illusioneffect(m):
The Boys S4 - 6/10
Bad writing and more gore
How did Starlight get into the White House vault they were trying to escape with a tight password they were trying to escape even though Starlight was a fugitive who beat up a US citizen on national TV - make it make sense.
And what's going on - Butcher just ripped Neuman right in front of her daughter and Neuman didn't try to blow up someone's head 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️- took a full 7 seconds before he ripped her up and she did nothing - wtf! As strong as he is.
That's the problem with the boys - they just rushed everything at the last minute- for what??
Also, with the political conflict in the US now - this show came at a really bad time tbvh - the writers who did a bad job trying to stoke the Jan 6 fire in an election year - firecracker saying 'Make America Strong Again' is definitely election interference at this point🤷🏽‍♂️ trying to make people believe the orange man is trying to send his political opponents to concentration camps.
The only thing that actually made sense this episode is Ashley - her taking Gen V makes a lot of sense simply because she would die anyway - better die a supe

A normal person can never stage an assassination attempt so we are always left with [b]psychopaths and actors [/b]because they can pull it off without batting an eye
Which psychopath or actor has ever staged an assassination? 👀
Which psychopath would stage an assassination and put his life at risk to an unprofessional 20 year old who can't shoot to save his life

Thank God u said urself trump is an actor who can probably do anything for the votes.
It may be him or another person who just hates him for no reason but it certainly isn't sleepy Joe. He has more to loose than gain, if the attempt was successful then Joe would have kissed the presidency goodbye because he will always be the first suspect tongue
Your point is actors are more likely to stage an assassination than normal people 👀 how can you be so daft boss
Foreign AffairsRe: Donald Trump Shot At Pennsylvania Rally by Illusioneffect(m): 10:40am On Jul 15, 2024
Championhala:
except if trump was wearing a bullet proof vest once a high caliber sniper bullet shot him around the chest region he wouldn't make it
And another hypothesis if u're around 78 and a bullet u know nothing about grazed ur ear will u still have the courage to stand up, u may even faint on the spot from the anxiety
You forget Trump is not just a politician but an actor and celebrity - he's born for theatrics - you'd notice he could barely stand, if you looked through the video, he was breathing very heavily but he thought this was a chance to also tell his people he was fine

I like Trump than Biden.


But this whole shooting event seems to me like a charade.


I don't believe that sh!t to be an accident.


Politicians; I fear them than the devil.
So your saying is Trump made sure the shooter got him right in the ear for clicks and votes.

I think it's staged, an assassin that's ready to kill him will shoot straight to his chest. But if it real, he's a very lucky person.
You're just dumb, you really think former presidents go around in public without bullet proof vests. Also, the shooter was not in front but at the side

Witness says warnings were ignored
Those who attended the rally itself were asked to pass through metal detectors to ensure they were not bringing any weapons, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
But the gunman believed to have fired the shots could clearly be seen crawling around with a rifle on top of a nearby building for several minutes, one eyewitness told the BBC.
The witness, who called himself Greg, said warnings that he and others gave were not acted upon by police, who he suggested did not know “what was going on” and had poor visibility of the rooftop.
The suspected gunman - who has been named by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks - also appears to have been caught on camera lining up his shot, in footage obtained by TMZ.
One spectator was killed and two others critically injured before the gunman was himself shot dead. Trump was also injured in the ear. State police have said it is “too early” to determine exactly what happened.
Trump’s life might have been saved by the fact he ducked after the first shots were fired, said David Dunn, a professor of international politics from the University of Birmingham.
In that respect, he “clearly had been well trained by the Secret Service”, Prof Dunn told BBC Radio 5 Live. Before being whisked away in a car by agents, Trump rose again to pump his fist before the crowd.

Culled from BBC. Read and be enlightened! Trump’s security apparatus were warned before the attack but they ignored! It was all planned!
Also, Trump's 'security apparatus' is the Secret Service : who are government officials - if the secret service was in on it - that means they're definitely against HIM not the other way
Foreign AffairsRe: Donald Trump Shot At Pennsylvania Rally by Illusioneffect(m): 7:18pm On Jul 14, 2024
Championhala:
This is planned, trump has more to gain from this assassination attempt than the opposition, because even if he died the opposition will always be accused so it's a risky move on their own side (which they won't be willing to take)
If the assassin really wanted to kill him he would have aimed for the heart(chest)
Dumb man speaking.
How would he aim for the heart when he wasn't facing Trump but positioned himself from the side. Also, head injuries are more fatal and has more likely outcome of death or paralysis. Do you think if he managed to shoot Trump on the head Trump would survive? Or maybe he was aiming for the ear😂?😂
Please have wisdom

After all your story, it doesn't make up to the fact that it was staged. It's like you didn't watch the video. If it was staged, the shooter would aim directly at Trump's body not his HEAD! Do you think the shooter was aiming for his ear?!!!! If the shooter was aiming for Trump's head, you really think Trump would have survived a head or neck injury??
And you also think the shooter thought he was going to survive killing the former president because no shooter would not have an escape route??
Please don't be dumb. Thank you

Longlegs is performing fantastically at the box office. Solid even for an R rated horror. MaXxine seems to suffer for it.
I'm not surprised, the marketing of the movie has been nothing short of amazing

If you know how many people who died during the capitol riots influenced by trump, dude can do anything. Are you aware that a bystander told the SS about a person with a rifle opposite them before the shooting?
You're so fckin dumb! How did Trump influence the Jan 6 riots? He never said anyone should go to the Capitol building, it's the same guy that immediately he heard of the riots there, he posted a video condemning the incident and it was immediately deleted by Twitter at that time! How would a thousand people storm a US Senate Building and nothing was done! The Police there allowed it to happen in an attempt to leverage against Trump.
Anyone who says this is rigged hasn't watched the video or is just bat dumb and crazy

Exactly why I said they most likely tore it all down after the end of GOT? And no one said Harrenhal will be the same but if HOTD was made immediately after GOT the logical thing is to reuse what you have while making necessary adjustments no?
No it's not logical because it's won't be the same production crew? The only thing they could reuse is the architectural drawings but it has to immediately be torn down? The same thing goes for sets of Harrenhal in s2 and s4, they'd to redo the sets again
TV/MoviesRe: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Illusioneffect(m): 9:06am On Jul 13, 2024
jikins:
Interesting one would have thought they would reuse the set from GOT. I mean they had alot of the current locations even Harrenhall where Ayra met no one. Well it is possible it was all tore down after it ended.
Every Land used for production is for lease or rent. Do you think they'd continue paying for a set for 5 years that's of no use. Plus Harrenhal is different 170 years from Ayra's time

and between S1 and S2 of HOTD, the production design set is totally different right? Is that what you are trying to say? Oh please. There is no valid reason for HOTD seasons to have a year interval and it's only the Dragons that are sparsely shown that even require heavy VFX work, the other effects are basically green room effects.

I can listen to fantasy shows taking time, so what is the excuse for drama shows? or sci fi shows that require very little vfx input?

The fact remains, the longer they hold on to these shows, the more relevancy and merch they can sponge off these shows, them not been able to make it as quickly as possible because of the reasons you stated are far from it, is very far from it. I listened to a pod on show making sometime ago, and I got to know that showrunners back in the day, already have a plan for the writing of the show from start to finish, making them easier to film between years.
Wtf are you saying? So you don't see a difference between HoTD S1 and S2? They're how many locations in S1 and S2? How many VFX shots for dragons and dragon battles did you seen in S1. They had to create Harrenhal, Winterfell, the Vale, they built a full city for Kings Landing, they built a fully functioning sewer which took months to create, you think that's easy. Do you know how many years it also took to make HoTD S1? More than 2 years.
Because of the workload for Dragon shots and SFX - they had to bring in thousands of extras, create new sets. You should know the problems it comes with making sets and production expenses

Weren't we getting GOT every year from 2011 to 2017 at the very least?. Fact is, it can be done if they set thier mind to it.
That's not true for GOT. Game of Thrones is a peculiar case. First off - production design was totally alike in 6 seasons so they didn't need to recreate sets. VFX was made by just one company unlike most other shows. It was so popular that HBO didn't need to greenlit the show before they started production - most of the production team was in house. Also GOT started in 2011 - things were very different then- it was not made as a streaming show - you'll realise the show production value increased over time

Like i said, good for you that you can make these list and i totally get your point. But extremely difficult for me or maybe i haven't really set my mind to do it. Extremely difficult to see shows over and over again, especially if they are drama or some other genre that isn't a sitcom. Imagine seeing "Succession" or "The Bear" again, along with all the trauma, lol doesn't mean there aren't great shows and obviously they fit right into any top 10 best show list.

I still have some critically acclaimed shows that i am yet see, if i get around to those, probably i will be more eager to make list.

Sitcoms are probably tv serial best gift, totally comfort giving and therapeutic, and i certainly get why you vibe with Friends and it's in your list. I saw "The Office US", this year for the first time, and it's probably one of the happiest i have been seeing a tv show in a very long while. 💚
I just watched the first pilot of Suits! OMG! Looks like I'ld have a top 10 contender after 108 episodes more. I just like pretty people talking about silly but complex problems
