As in Supernatural?

yessir

Cool, didn’t know that. That was such a good series.

I'm lovin' it!

Waaaauuuugh!

Excited.
Yes.

They lost me after the last season with way too heavy of a political message. But, this trailer shows hope of getting back to more of a season one vibe. We’ll see, I might give it a shot.

Calling out racist extremism is bad??

Ok, Goebbels.

Thank you for making my point.

Stormfront was a great, layered villain. Season 2 was wildly popular.

You’re an idiot.

I remember when fighting nazis in tv and movies was a non controversial issue.

I don't care about the messages in season 2, but I did think there was a dip in quality. Still eager to see season 3.

The message wasn't as bad as most shit they are putting out these days but it was there. Not enough for me to give a shit about but it was there.

Imagine trying to watch a fun commentary on what superheroes would likely devolve into in the real world, only to be reminded that white supremacy is bad...again, and again, and again. But remember, you are Joseph Goebbels for wanting a break from culture War bullshit.

They did that and also tied it to conservatives. It was pretty easy to see. But whatever, it was a good show otherwise so I watched it and will continue to do so.

Are we all just ignoring that the AOC stand in is an ultra baddie or is it only pandering when it criticizes ideology we personally identify with?

I don't recall her saying anything about everyone hating on her just wanted to date her and she didn't seem like she was dumber than a bag of rocks so how did they equate her to AOC exactly?

No, just add it to the list of reasons why infusing real life politics into this show is ****ing stupid.

Racism is a "culture war" now?

Of course not! It was 100% necessary to remind us of the fact that racism is bad, by making it a central part of the plot to this show. It has made it difficult to enjoy my other sources of entertainment that fail to address racism. I can barely stand to watch Bluey with my kids, knowing it's an episode about cleaning their rooms instead of being reminded of their oppressor status.

I know you're trying to be facetious here, but have you seen the world today? I think half the planet needs to be reminded of this. :(

Well, S3E1 just screamed "now that we have your attention" in your face shock value and a plot worthy of a day time soap opera. Unfortunately, if that's a sign of things to come we are here:

I did love S1 & S2 but it's not looking good from the gate.

Dean Winchester uncensored

Exactly that, lol

It's solid gold whenever Homelander is on the screen. I thought the first episode was fine enough.

Edit: JFC episode 2 is super political.

Thought it was approaching shark-jumping territory in the first half of the first episode, but since then it’s been pretty solid.

For girls 11-14, he's a really panty-dropper, and he's a slam dunk for the LatinX market. . . Did you know salsa is more popular than ketchup?

I have loved the first three episodes. They have been fantastic if you ask me.

Sorry they made fun of firearm fondlers.

I have enjoyed it to a point. I would prefer more full female nudity instead of male however I guess they can do what they want. After all, I am paying for this.

Not going to go into any of the details however I do like how they show that when someone has nothing to lose, you lose any sense of control over them.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely... Have known this as long as humans act emotionally, this will be our fate.

I've enjoyed it. Some good gory deaths and a few laugh out loud moments so far. I figure it will really turn to shit once Soldier Boy joins the party.

Who or what is Vought's contingency plan 🤔

Last episode was the best so far of this season.

Homelander is the perfect ****ing villain. It doesn't get any better.

He is so good.

I'm actually getting a little nervous with season 4 being announced. I'm not sure how long they can keep ramping up the tension with him and the show doesn't work without him imo.

Trying not to speculate or read any advanced information. I want to be surprised. The last episode had some interesting twists.

The best line from Homelander

"Is your idiot brain getting F'd by stupid?"

I about died laughing at that and how easily he said it. Then she uses it on the talk show host.

"It'z lahk Kermit the Frog had a right wank in yor mouf"

LMAO

THE MESSAGE!!! is getting to be more and more of a glaring point in this show... Police hate the black community... it is racist to patrol the black neighborhoods... yada yada yada

I also see that piece of shit Seth Rogan showed up in this episode as well.

God... I want this show to be better than that... I love the general plot but here we go with this stupid ****ing bullshit.

You realize he's EP. Him and Evan picked up options on a ton of comic book properties, they EPed Preacher too, TMNT, Invincible, . . .

That said, yeah it was a wet fart of a comedic scene.

I am shocked that a tv series based on a comic book that was a commentary about the shittiness of the bush administration and the war on terror could have anything that could be interpreted as commentary about the shittiness of radical evangelical alt right neonazis and their golden calf, president twittler. Inconceivable!

I don't know if you watch, but there's the concept of satirical viciousness, and then there's the execution.

And while I enjoy the show overall, the fit and finish is pretty ham-handed.

They'll have someone making a point about one issue, and then the chyron, or a reaction soundbite, references a completely unrelated buzzword.

For instance in the last episode, they replayed some of Homelander's speech from the previous episode about how he's tired of pretending he isn't superior to the rest of mankind, and the banner at the bottom of the broadcast said something about 'Homelander complains about cancel culture.'

That's a case of not respecting the intricacy of the source narrative and just wanting to insert buzzword snark.

Like I say, I mostly enjoy the show, . . . but the satire 'updating' is pretty amateurish.

This show is woke garbage that won't be relevant 5 years from now.

Is it?

Or is it consistent with the source material?

The comics were a satirical reflection of how shitty super power human beings would actually be, paralleling the challenges ordinary folks face with power, self-delusion, greed, and loss of inhibitions, while also exploring the dangers of unchecked, unmitigated corporate self-interest and manipulation.

It is a vehicle intended to shine a reductio ad absurdum light on our American society and make people think about things that might flit by unnoticed in your day-to-day grind.

If it makes you uncomfortable, it is functioning as intended.

Oh, and I just remembered, when they introduced Supersonic and they had to remind us several times he was hispanic because he looked like a regular fratboy dudebro boybander, . . . and it turns out it was just to pay off the joke where Homelander orders him a Vaught Taco Salad.

On one hand, a teensy bit clever and funny, . . . on the other incredibly ham-handed, desperate and shoehorned.

Were they reminding the viewers? Or were the characters in the show talking about it as an example of token minority representation?

Here's another, from previous season. . .

So I get he's satirizing Dubya's bravado, but if you accept the implications of the satire as written, given that Homelander explicitly and directly downed the airliner himself . . . then you've signed onto more crazy than any of the 9/11 was an inside job folks. . . . But you do you folks.

Here's a little closed captioner's verbiage choice that you won't soon forget. . . .

Episode 6 was pretty twisted. Definitely looking forward to the last two episodes.

Lol, yeah, that was......something. You knew it was going to be bad when they put the disclaimer at the front of the episode, haha. I expected more, or better, out of the action finale. It was GOOD, but I felt it should have been better.

And oh yeah, Hughie is a stupid ass.

That episode was amazing. Might be the best of the entire series so far.

That last fight should have been a lot better, but I’m hoping they are building up to a hell of a season finale. I could probably do without the deep character, too.

I thought for sure Soldier Boy was going to maybe decide to team up with Homelander and then they were going to be truly ****ed... didn't happen.

Yeah but that fight was cool as shit

MM at the Herogasms was funny as shit.

Frenchie going to be so mad he missed this...lol

I saw somebody say that MM got some of "father's milk" LMAO

Herogasm wasn’t nearly as shocking as I expected. They hyped it to be the most foul thing to ever air and it was basically just another episode with a little nudity added.

Love this show.

Soldier Boy's hubris will force him to take 24 V, because he hates to be 2nd best which will kill him or make him permabadass.


The way he looked at it with curiosity is the tippoff and before that he "taking bennies is how we took Normandy"

I don't think it's still out of the realm of possibilities. They seemed to foreshadow some by having crimson say the same to him that maeve said to homelander about always hating him.

Think David Lynch chimed in writing s3e7.

Well...shit!

Episode 7 was pretty great. Sets up for some real shit to go down next week. It stinks there's only one episode left this season. I get it though. Quality over quantity is always the way.

The "Darth Vader" flex was lame IMO

God I love this show. It's plot twist after plot twist but they're all done super well and logically.

Wonder what the actor who plays The Deep thinks when he reads the script, that’s pretty messed up what the writers have him doing.

Episode 8 is now available on the Prime app. Time to watch the finale. :)

I know there were things that happened in the finale, but I also feel they are back at square one. If they plan to have 2 more seasons, I don't know how they will fill so much.

It was definitely not the ending I expected. I’m not going to go and complain that the writers are being woke, but I could do without all of the politics that they are increasingly adding into the show. It seems like they are going out of their way to add all of these political references when it does nothing but detract from the show.

The writers are definitely woke. Everything from the episode descriptor (stop starlight from drinking children's adrenaline!), to the final scene which was . The show is at its best delving into the cynicism of superheroes in a capitalistic world, but this season was extra extra with its on the nose 2020s political references that won't make a lick of sense a few years from now. It's a damn shame because there are some great characters here, a great setting, and they are diminishing the legacy with each cheap shot.

It's literally the point of the comics.

It definitely doesn’t add any value. It’s more of just an annoying irrelevant side story in an otherwise great show.

I had never heard of this until today, when one of my coworkers brought it up... how have I missed this for so long?!?!
