Wow. I'm surprised these people can even dress themselves.

Yeah, that was a hell of a line.

That had to be a body double at the end

I agree.

I enjoyed this episode outside of the web weaver scene. The "new" Noir is definitely growing and me.

New episode was meh. Good seeing A-Train redeem himself. The Deep killing his octopuss* was hard to watch.

The jokes against the right are just getting ridiculous at this point though. I just imagine Seth Rogen stoned and creating these shite jokes thinking they’re hilarious.

Bad epi, just boring/stupid. Only redeeming thing was Starlights butt. Double or not, was perfect.

My only true gripe is that is has become aimless and lost its inertia. It's like playing a pinball machine without the tilted surface where the ball doesn't drop. Lots of lights and bells but nothing to play for. Even Homelander has become a little neutered. It's not even sinister the way it used to be. It's just reliably off-kilter.

This show has become a spoof of right-wingers to such an extreme point it inadvertently makes the left-wingers look completely retarded.

Basically this show is “I am a leftist and I want to lecture you about how evil and dumb the right is but I am way too stupid and have accidently made my viewpoint look retarded and don't even know it…oh yeah and here is a plotline and a man’s hairy a-hole”

You'll have to point out where this show makes the left look superior. This show has been spoofing the MAGA crowd since the first season. It's also been spoofing the WOKE Corporate crowd as well. I don't care about the politics, It's a show about unhinged super heroes. I care if its entertaining- and it's been losing its edge on that front this season.

I don't think that was a body double on SL's butt. That was a single camera one shot and her face was visable as she was getting up and turn to walk away with the booty scene

I just finished episode 6. Holy shite, these people fricking loathe the Right in this country. There's no nuance or subtlety to this show at all. None.

Oh, no! Did they make fun of your side, too? Might as well start melting and going full cancel culture on it.

Too? That would imply they are making fun of both sides.

It’s not that they are making fun of the right, though. My point is that the writers announced they were intending to, so I would expect an actual, valid, and witty attack.

Instead, what is revealed is they are too stupid to even understand what they are attacking. They don't even realize the caricature of the right they created fits the left perfectly.

“See something, say something” was post 9-11 and was 100% a leftist ideal.

Forcing censorship after pushing corporate/government narratives is a leftist approach.

Trusting current leadership and all its bureaucracy is totalitarian and leftist. It was the left pushing the COVID norms, not the right.

The right says “break the system, leave us alone, give us our freedom back” to the point they elected a guy like Trump because he promised to burn it down by “draining the swamp.”

If anyone on the show fits Trump (as was intended), Billy Butcher would be closer by far than Homelander. He’s difficult to work with yet will get results. He’s against the system and will say and do whatever he thinks he needs to in order to break it. He’s unfaithful to his wife, yet overly loyal. He speaks his own mind but constantly puts his foot in his own mouth driving away the people closest to him. He’s frustrating and can be annoying but his heart seems to be in the right place. Homelander, on the other hand, is a corporate stooge who is too weak to really take a stand for himself and no matter what he does he’s always reacting to people around him and is controlled like an antifa tool.

That's what takes me out of it, realizing how legitimately stupid the showrunner is. He inadvertently makes himself look retarded.

Imagine making a joke about groomers not be real. These people really are out of touch. I feel sorry for them

The octopus was right lol also that's Tilda Swindon doing the voice fyi

The last few episodes have been pretty crazy. A lot of cool shite and homelander getting closer and closer to the edge. Maybe he finally cracks in the finale goes full evil and lasers huge crowds of people.
