But I never called every superhero fiction a sci-fi. We were talking about The Boys, specifically, and I pointed out that it does have sci-fi elements.
I wouldn't make the same argument for Loki, even though it's also a superhero TV series.

And let's not forget sub genres exist. The Boys having a sci-fi subgenre doesn't take away from its primary superhero fiction genre.

Genre is the sum of all subgenres put together in their proper context. It's the finished article... a smartphone. If you break down a genre, say, superhero fiction, you'll find soft science fiction and hard fantasy, but only in their purest form and without context. It'd be a motherboard and a chipset. Two critical components that are ineffective on their own but extremely effective when combined.

Classifying stories by subgenre will invariably result in every story with the bare minimum of technology being labeled as science fiction. That is why genre is mainstream while subgenre is not.

So then I can call a show like the umbrella academy full blown science fiction

It's a superhero fiction with hard fantasy and soft science fiction subgenres, but since I'm not a fan of categorizing shows by their subgenres, I'd just say it's a superhero tv show with a dash of adventure and call it a day.

It also does...he needs to blend in, live a normal life while also being close to what's happening around.

Yeah, an alter ego by just wearing a pair of glasses?
Atleast they should do better. It was even more ridiculous in the series "superman And lois". Even his own children didn't know he was superman until he told them, people that live with him and see him even without the "glasses".

Anyway I just saw the She Hulk trailer. Are they trying to say that she's stronger than the Hulk?

The glasses has worked and been working, there is no need to change it.


She Hulk is not even as strong as Hulk's right arm

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)


All 3 movies 9/10.... solid trilogy...

I heard Hobbit is a prequel

Also, The Rings of Power is a prequel I heard

Does anyone know the timeline of The Rings of Power?
Does it cover the battle that led to Isildur's victory over Sauron? Cos I assume it does...considering the ring kept getting lost for many years

Rings of Power takes place waaaaaayyyy before Sauron's time.

Not true.
Sauron has always been there.
He was there in the time of Morgoth, serving as Morgoth's disciple/servant.
He was there after Morgoth was overthrown,
He was there to corrupt and mentor the Witch King in the second age.

The timeline of the Ring of Power is still hazy.
Everyone knows it's a prequel series and took place long before events in The Hobbit transpired but aside from that, details are hazy.
So the primary villain will either be Morgoth, Sauron, or the Witch King.

The timeline is from the second age and spans 3500 years, so a lot happened.

It's not as hazy as you think. The timeline, I believe, is from the second age.

I'm fairly certain Sauron will be the main antagonist.

Never said he wasn't there. I said it takes place before his time. As the story progresses, it should chronicle his rise after Morgoth's fall.

Of course, this is all hinged on the premise that Amazon actually makes an attempt to follow the canonical events of things. If they do, doubt we'd be seeing a glimpse of The Lord of Mordor until the very end of the season.

Doubt Morgoth would be any kind of villain seeing as the First Age ended with his defeat. Wouldn't make sense for him for him to be a villain in a tale set in the Second Age.

With the amount of money Prime spent on Season 1 and plans to spend on future seasons, there's no doubt we'll see a lot of Sauron. He was responsible for the fall of Numenor, among other atrocities. It'd be fascinating to witness Sauron in his coporeal form and his steady rise to become a formidable force.

If the timeline of the series is from the second age as someone has claimed, then it takes place during his time.
Should chronicle his rise to power, defeat, rise to power again, and eventual defeat after the Last Alliance.
After which follows the events in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
