New food alert..
I've no interest in this movie..... unfortunately
I recommend you watching 'I Saw the TV Glow' I'd like to hear your thoughts. It's an A24 Movie that piqued my interest but has a really deep meaning not everyone would understand

Truly time no dey again. That's why I don use style comot mind from him finishing it cos person no know the day wey him go depart. That's why I just dey use these shows dey hold body.

Many people are frustrated man. Why I'm even waiting for the books is just to show everyone complaining about the final season of GOT is that they'd see its same as would happen in the books. There's no significant logical deviation that might happen.

Me, I'm very happy about these news and projects. E no too concern me whether Baba release Winds of Winter cos to me that man ain't finishing that thing and doesn't put too much importance in it.

I just feel fans should quit pestering the man about it cos he'll still do it at his own pace. And prolly doesn't know how to end it.

My own be say make HBO continue this feasting.
You no even call next ten generations. That man lineage ain't smelling poverty.

There's currently about 7 projects in development. And with the pace it's going definitely 1 project yearly. There's still Aegon's Conquest coming up...my most anticipated. Then there's 10,000 Ships, Sea Snake, Yi Ti animation.
Nigga doesn't want to finish Winds of Winter🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ it looks like he won't finish that shit until he dies bro wants to make more money for his fifth generation before thunder strike him

First and foremost, you expected a guy named Frenchie to be straight? Lol, like BFR

Also, your criticism is valid if you were actually right but you aren't as there have been bits and pieces that Abduleez1 have pointed out that led to that moment in his characterization, you not picking up on them isn't the writer's fault as they left multiple hints

Furthermore, using the comics as a metric to judge the show can't stand because damn, the comics was bad (at least to me). Did you know that soldier boy was literally homelander's sex slave in the comics? Yep, they aren't father and son but rather doing the devil's tango, if they added that layer to the show, it will be straight up incest and y'all will still complain
I've sha explain my point further the thread, don't cut my neck thank you

No warrior worth his salt will downplay how disadvantaged they'd be going up against Vhagar. She's the biggest dragon in Westeros and has the most battle experience. Heck, Vhagar was there during Aegon I's Conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. So no be Child's play. But Daemon and Caraxes are very competent fighters as well.

Vermithor will eventually get a rider. Many of them will have sorrowful deaths. Just dey prepare.

Maybe some people couldn't perceive Frenchie was Bi somehow. It can happen.
I feel what got people really enranged the more I think about it is the very presence of Kimiko. Straight ppl are of the belief that Frenchie is straight cos of his relationship with Kimiko. And now somehow bringing a g@y love interest outta nowhere triggered ppl. Thing is ppl don't like a straight person turning g@y in a given story. grin grin

That's the reason the supe who multiplied himself just to eat his own @ss and w@nk off is being paid way lesser attention. It's just like 2 peeps that have mentioned the guy, the rest have been solely focused on Frenchie. All other annoying bizarre shït done in the show is being overlooked.

Anyway, I kinda feel it was a little silly the way it was written with Frenchie falling for the person he's responsible for killing his family. It was poorly executed. Trying to make Frenchie face his past with that angle was poorly handled and felt forced.
Still doesn't excuse the amusing whinings on social media.
Exactly my point! It's rare for the Boys writing to fall of like that. The boys s4 now has a rotten audience score 💀

I don't watch YouTube video breakdowns of any program I watch. I mostly calm down and slowly break down and digest my entertainment so some things don't come as a surprise for me.
I've always viewed him in that spectrum and remember a couple scenes suggesting his sexuality, tho I wasn't sure what season. Seeing him being outed like that this season, I was like, checks out!!

It's the blatant lying that Frenchie was changed all of sudden. If not, I wouldn't even involve myself.
I search them links to drop as proof cos some disingenuous people will try to spin it with an agenda.

And I stand my ground... If one is a homophobe and is watching THE BOYS or GEN V they're an idiot or just sadistic. G@y shït and weird séxual feti$h is clearly front and centre in this show. Watching it till S4, you'd have call it quits by now since you hold such strong views. There's plenty alternatives. So no excuses.

Being in the TV and movies section of NL for a long time, I've seen how peeps here will slap WOKE on anything they remotely don't like like g@y scenes, dominant females, LGtv characters etc. It's easier to just shout WOKE and get a mob of supporters on here. Just for either of these things.

So I'm not sorry for not being civil with them likes. Cos same dumbos here were shouting same WOKE a year or two ago when SANDMAN show released even tho these characters had the comic background and storyline to back up what was Adapted.
First off, you're definitely right here! The Boys is the most hedonistic and disgusting show on tv and if anyone's offended by Frenchie being gay but not offended by the Deep's beastiality should be checked in the head. I've always said it here - I'm not homophobic - it's difficult to be one here. I'm just shocked about how the writers of the show wrote him in this season🤷🏽‍♂️ not everyone is apt enough to figure it out for 3 seasons. I knew Frenchie was not normal but I never had the inclination he was bi like most people on the internet but I didn't think much of it but the writing of his subplot is not good enough that's my whole point - it didn't make any sense that his bi-ness should be a major plot point when it wasn't even a minor one in other seasons🤷🏽‍♂️ you have to understand that

Using Kal-El who is basically a prim and proper boy scout to parallel Frenchie who is nearly a hedonist is crazy as fvck.

If you didn't notice any signs of Frenchie being queer, that's ok. We all perceive the world around us differently.

Lemme retreat back into the shadows and continue laughing at the outbursts.
I don't think you understand me clearly👀 I'm not shocked about him being bi 🤷🏽‍♂️ I'm just shocked about the storytelling.
Kal-El can be prim and proper and still be bi. Being hedonistic or fantasising about orgies also doesn't make you bi

I hope y'all dumb fvvks will just shut up after this. It's clear some of you ain't watching the same show or just have selective amnesia. Or na back of TV Una dey watch.

Is it the same Frenchie who kissed Hughie in season 1?
Or Frenchie who was in a polyamourous relationship with Cherie (female) and Jay (male) in the flashbacks in S2. Here's a video confirming he is bi. 👇🏽
https://x.com/gaynonsensee/status/1801282934298521745?t=HbdHO3BQEaPGBdPF1kCPQw&s=19

Or the same Frenchie who told Mother's Milk (MM) "not to be close minded" during Herogasm after that Sausage guy with the elongating d!CK wrapped his shït on MM's neck to strangle him.
Frenchie sef was very enthusiastic in partaking in that séx römp party despite knowing the depravity that goes on there.

Or the same Frenchie wey wan hire tr@ns stripp£rs for MM's birthday party. Frenchie that was a male escórt?
Someone that likes being ;Ddominated and pégged? cheesy

If these doesn't scream g@y to you, y'all are just harebrained. Or because it's now his s€x scenes are now shown that's what got y'all disgusted?
Frenchie is Bi, and y'all should quit yapping about it if you don't know what you're watching or too distracted to follow through.

Honestly, for me, If you're an homophobe and watching The Boys and it's spinoff Gen V, you just pretty fvvking DUMB. Or an idiot who doesn't understand what he's watching.
Cos that universe is the most g@y big TV show currently airing and it's ironic it's folks like y'all the show is parodying. grin grin

Dumbos will just wait to see a g@y scene and start shouting WOKE!! Y'all just dumb that's all.

The Deep literally fvvked an Octopus and is into bestiality yet, it's when Frenchie is shown graphically with a man you call the line. Y'all are idiots. No offence.

The Kimiko angle was mostly fans shipping em together. Even when they kissed it was weird.
😂😂 being eager to participate in a sex romp doesn't define your gayness😂. It's just too subtle! You should understand that Regular viewers would be taken aback, not everyone watches BTS or YouTube breakdown videos about the shows they watch🤷🏽‍♂️.

Not everyone tries to spot Easter eggs and look closely at references to gayness, you don't need to call anyone stupid because they didn't figure it out. 80% of people who watch shows are just there to be entertained but bringing up a major plotline about a character being gay like everyone should know already is bad storytelling not to talk of at the last half of a series! It'ld surely call for questioning.

Frenchie has shown interest in trans strippers, talked about being pegged and was sub to a dominatrix, like full sub with the collar, chain and everything. Dude is very much possibly pansexual so, yeah, the whole outbursts about him being with a guy is very funny to me.
Guy that doesn't make him bi. Or you're just part of a few that noticed because it's all over Reddit with people calling it a flaw 🤷🏽‍♂️. If that was the direction Kripke was going for, it should have been less subtle so it won't come out as a shock since he's a main character it's just like James Gunn makes Superman trans all of a sudden. It's not in the comics that Frenchi is bi.
The problem is not with him being bi, it's with the story, it just comes of as lazy storytelling - a guy loves another guy but having killed his parents- over-used kind of trope even used in the Boys. It's like they added it after the reviewing the script already

[right][/right] My immediate younger Brother seems not to like me!! It is obvious from his actions and in actions a,,
This was a boy l paid his first Jamb form , bought his first phone and is planning to help sponsor him through the university,, He will never use his phone to call me, will never open up to me about anything going on in his life,, Even a birthday wish on social media he won't do it, yet he does it for others ...
I have live long enough on this earth to understand Blood is not thicker than water,, Families are those who love and care for you and not Just blood relationship..
He have the right to choose who he want to relate with, l also feel like l should be careful on how l spend money on a hater,,,
I want to withdraw every financial support l have towards him and invest it on my other siblings who values their Elder brother,, just don't know how to handle my mother emotional manipulations...
Please any one in this situation how have u handled it?
Besides l have spoken to him severally about this!!
Brotherhood is tough🤷🏽‍♂️ sometimes that's just how it's No one is willing to show emotions towards his brother. Especially when you guys don't normally see each other, sometimes because of education and work, brothers might not see for years and that makes them so distant. Finance is not relationship, if you want to create that relationship, be the bridge, talk to him and tell him how you feel. That's a bigger solution

The shock value of them turning him gay or bi as the case maybe is totally lost on me, as i am even more concerned with how it affects his sneaky link plot line with Kimiko they have been building as that looks dead in the water with this revelation.

Like i said, the show has done more despicable things in previous seasons and have constantly shown it has no business been ultra conservative, I mean Deep has a whole damn relationship with an octopus, he is not a major character too?.

I am just surprised seeing many posts expressing digust over it here. They just used this Frenchie thing to score Woke points for this season and if things like this greatly disturbs how you perceive the show, then you probably have to look away from most shows from here on, cuz most of them are trying to out woke each other before attempting to provide any morsel of entertainment that appeals to the conservative crowd, seems unfair, but it is what it is.
You don't understand. I watch gay shows too. The problem with it is its sudden-ness. They should have slowed its storyline down, give us an idea of his sexuality from the beginning but for 3 seasons no clue no actual backstory they just made it so sudden and the story just felt half baked

The Boys S4 E1-E3 - 6/10
I hate to say it and I was really excited for this show tbh but it lowered the bar for me. THE MESSAGE is heavy on this one!
The political message has always been subtle throughout the boys but this time they've picked a side - THE LEFT. They've made right wing people look like they're all dumb conspiracy theorists looking for meaning in their life.
How the hell did they make Frenchie gay all of a sudden. Even his storyline is so dumb like they included it wayyyyy after they've written the script already- it was like the studio just said since Queen Maeve is no longer in the script we need to dump a gay character in the script and they just decided to make it Frenchie is just ludicrous at this point.
The Boys is just leaning into shock value and not story anymore because they've run out of ideas. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Dialogue is just not great anymore - they're trying to dig into an almost rotten pile ideas and increase shock value that'll make rounds on the internet
