They continued the show recently with X-Men '97 (2024). I've been rewatching the '92 original off and on for a bit.

S3 of Sweet Tooth has to be the worst written most ridiculous nonsense I have ever seen. I mean, the show never made any sense to begin with but something about the childlike corny AF storytelling drew me in. S3 however is just too stupid to enjoy. My god...
I cannot believe Netflix would axe any half decent show but let Sweet Tooth get 3 seasons and actually finish this preposterous story. I guess I should be glad because I NEED to know how a story ends even if it's as badly written as this one. Still... wow, utter trainwreck in the final episode. Hard pressed to find writing more lazy and nonsensical than S3 of Sweet Tooth. Congratulations are in order, I guess.

I'm watching it as well, the comic was darker but the show has made the story more family-friendly, as was the case with Locke and Key (that comic was waaaaaaay more gory, adult and dark than its adaptation). Plus, the Sweet Tooth costume will forever be cursed if you watch certain chapter from House.

Plus, the Sweet Tooth costume will forever be cursed if you watch certain chapter from House. Yeah apparently the comic makes more sense and you get an actual explanation how this whole cave thing happened. It makes zero sense in the show. It's so ridiculously nonsensical that even trying to approach this as a fairytale it's just embarrassingly bad. But then again the whole premise of this virus and the hybrids is ludicrous. They didn't even bother to explain something that could never be a thing. The whole story form the getgo was "don't think about it, just go with it". S3 feels like listening to an 8 year old make up a story on the spot, getting more and more ridiculous. The whole misanthropic humans are a cancer theme and this is nature's punishment? Teenage me would have loved it but now at 40 I just roll my eyes. Fortunately the storytelling pulls back from that naive black and white narrative a bit at the last minute but still. This show and maybe the comic too feels like some simplistic early 20s militant nature activist furry fetish horseshit. But hey, at least it wasn't the usual Netflix feminist gender politics toxic masculinity bullshit. The most evil person on the show is an Asian woman. So it wasn't all bad, I guess, lol. I really liked S1, had its charm but the plotting went to absolute hell in S3. The most intriguing question is how did they get Cara Gee to appear on this show, LOL.

The Boys S4E4 Woo...these guys know just when to push all the buttons... Homelander Classic - "It doesn't excuse what he became, but it does explain it" arc.
We knew a bit from when the main doc that developed him was in the court room pre-head exploding, but this gave more information and context.
Interesting - no damage is not the same as no pain. Probably key for later on. Put it in the back pocket.
Did we know supes had powers from before they were born? He lasered his way out of the woman who bore him to term? That's bleak. His kill count was 6 before he was a minute old.
Whatever he became, though - that poor kid. Just awful. Starlight/Annie Just as the memes break about who the show is making fun of, they give the 'other' side a slap.
This will likely be the so-called "purity testing", where people who oppose fascism are accused of cancelling people who could otherwise do good because of perceived infractions (and actual ones like nearly killing Firecracker, regardless of how much the bitch was begging for it). All while the real bad guys just get to admit to a crime and go "lol god", and everything is all good. Butcher Did the V he take actually work?
He was dead to rights and then the rapey priest was roadkill moments later.
Is there some failsafe mechanism accompanying the little worm that is killing him? Sage Lobotomy it is.
Constant headaches would make anyone a prick.

^ Boys 4e4 Homelander Classic - "It doesn't excuse what he became, but it does explain it" arc. Yarp. I mean we knew he was test-tubed, but the psychological bit was the added nuance that was needed. It's fairly obvious in retrospect, I'd even say it wasn't surprising, but the way she flings it at him shows how broken/engineered he is. Did we know supes had powers from before they were born? He lasered his way out of the woman who bore him to term? That's bleak. His kill count was 6 before he was a minute old. IIRC, no. Before this I thought it was around puberty. Marie in GenV gets it around then in that scene, again IIRC. Something I saw on reddit, didn't realize myself, was the purpose of the cake Homelander brought. They were getting their "just desserts." I'd peripherally wondered but kinda filed it away as maybe something I wouldn't get. (The cake place was significant or something too American for my Canadian sensibilities to understand kinda thing.) But nope, pretty simple allegory. *** /agree all *** Butcher Did the V he take actually work? He was dead to rights and then the rapey priest was roadkill moments later. Is there some failsafe mechanism accompanying the little worm that is killing him? I'm not sure the worm is killing him anymore. I'm not sure at all WTF is going on. Did the V gain sentience? Is this something else that's interacting with it? Are his supe-powers tied to some weird alter-ego? Yes, I'm pretty sure it worked. Only real explanation for his blackout murder-rage. But beyond that, no clue. *** Sage. Yeah that's quite something. lol@The Deep just rolling with it. I'll say this for him, he doesn't seem terribly judgemental in terms of conservative values. *** A-Train: He's doing the right thing for Hughie's wrong reasons. I liked this angle and it added a layer to A-Train's "redemption" without detracting from it. Great stuff there. Hughie forgiving him, I'm curious to see where that goes. Presumably somehow it'll turn to shit given the way everything does in this show (not a complaint) but I wouldn't mind it if this actually led to something good. And by good I don't mean Simon Pegg finally getting to act. There's this undercurrent that's been building mostly in Butcher's arc, but also with Hughie, that Temp-V is a lot more dangerous that meets the eye. Not just for reducing life expectancy drastically I mean, much worse. Pegg having it while in a comatose state is what I suspect will move this under-arc forward. There seems to be another entity/consciousness in Butcher. Now imagine, Hughie's dad being in a coma, that unlike in Butcher who can consciously push back via hallucinations, this entity-thingy in Hughie's dad instead has an open field to skip through. Wonder how that goes and, if I was a betting man, which I am not, but still, I'd wager that either Hughie has to kill his own dad, or that Butcher/MM/A-Train does, setting Hughie in vendetta mode. Also! Hughie's mom clearly dosed the dad. She was familiar with Vought and had kinda waved some red flags as a result early. This is part of the payoff of that. She had to have known what it was. Now, given that V is in their contemporary media it doesn't necessarily mean she's more than meets the eye. I'm not saying she's some spy or shapeshifter, just that she was familiar enough to decide to dose him. Wonder how this plays out too. I am soooooooooooo much more interested in Hughie's family drama, even before the V, than in Frenchie/Collin's. Even though it hit a climax in that arc, it's just not really selling anything to me. Lacks nuance I guess. Maybe by the end it'll get more interesting and be a gem for a rewatch. Kinda on the fence with Kimiko as well. Oh yeah, one other tidbit I liked about Hughie this ep. When he holds his own in a fight while being wounded no less, and then goes super cold-killer while the guy's jugular blood splurts all over him. Ties into the notion that I think he's going to have to kill his dad, or go vendetta against someone who does. Either way I think Hughie's finally getting dangerous, like they've been toying with since the very beginning. It was different when he had supe powers. He was "dangerous" but over the top. Kinda high. Now this is unadulterated Hughie, nothing to fall back on. PS: Homelander leaving the older woman who stood up to him alive in the blood room was also interesting. She's probably the one he had the most reason to kill. But instead he sealed her in there. Now yes, this may kill her, but it also may not. It might just take a while to get her out. I liked her acting, and her character's vaguely parental lack of fear of him. Also on this line, Homelander just contained himself for a while, letting events move forward while all he did was get a vengeance-kick on. He's playing a very small game while everyone else is playing for the throne.

He's playing a very small game while everyone else is playing for the throne. Butcher/Hughey's Dad Temp V is green. Compound V is blue (and both Dad and Butcher in the flashback were injecting blue).
They've gone OG. Scorched earth in a way, because Compound V is supposedly lethal to those not in the womb. Temp V always gives powers, so if Butcher didn't get powers that he was aware of, maybe the residual Temp V in his system reacted with the CV and magic happened? Either way, I think Dad is in for a rough awakening. Onset of powers Just remembered something from S1 - Butcher held up a baby in Vought Tower to escape and its laser eyes worked, so there appears to be some individuality at play with when they appear. Deep Deep isn't really a social conservative. He's just a narcissistic, misogynistic asshole.
I know, I know - Venn Diagram jokes, but I think the point stands.

I realized the other day that Oppenheimer is now on Amazon Prime (US), so I watched it. Gotta say, Christopher Nolan again doesn't disappoint. I mean, you kinda gotta know what you are getting into (which I did). This is a dramatized BioPic, so it's more of a drama than anything else. And even though most of the 3 hours of this movie is people talking, I was captivated from beginning to end. Acting is good, setpieces looks great and the direction and editing are excellent. Again, Nolan doesn't show us the events in fully chronological order but jumps backward and forward in time to put every piece of this story into a larger context. Yet, I never lost my bearings as to where and when each scene took place. Expertly done! Here and there, there is the occasional over-dramatization. For example, I really don't think Oppenheimer climbed the tower with the bomb in a rising storm, the night before the Trinity test to have one final meditative moment with it. And of course they made the detonation we do see in the movie into as much of a spectacle as possible but that's fair IMO. Next to all the personal drama that results from the Manhattan Project and its aftermath, there is one message in this movie, that stuck out to me and that is very relevant for us today. The movie really goes to show the dissonance between the scientists, who want to express their thoughts freely and unbound by ideology or agenda and the politicians and military people who have absolutely no room whatsoever for the nuances and relativism of the scientists mindsets and really do just want to use them as resources when it suits them. It's a chilling view of the challanges of intellectualism in a time when everything in the political and social landscape is about choosing sides. All in all a fascinating and super well made movie. Nolan did it again. 10/10 hats, blown away by the wind.

More Boys 4.4 spoilers below Temp V is green. Compound V is blue (and both Dad and Butcher in the flashback were injecting blue). TY, I got that all kinds'a messed up. My theory now is that Butcher has the proto-version of Earthworm Jim in his head going forward. *** Just remembered something from S1 - Butcher held up a baby in Vought Tower to escape and its laser eyes worked, so there appears to be some individuality at play with when they appear. Good call! ...that's quite a different age range come to think of it now. Do we know Homelanders mother? We hear he lazer'd his way out but anything else? Dad is Soldier-boy, but I can't remember if he mentioned anything about mom. Now I'm wondering about how consensual all the mothers were when taking the V. And did the mothers take it, or was it... I'unno, some different process, otherwise the mother would potentially get supe'd up too, right? *** Deep isn't really a social conservative. He's just a narcissistic, misogynistic asshole. I know, I know - Venn Diagram jokes, but I think the point stands. Oh he's absolutely a lil shit who doesn't care so long as he's on the perceived winning side. Rather I'm starting to get surprised the "winning" side is still letting him stick around.

According to the lady doc in the last episode, "they paid some poor runaway 2 grand to carry the embryo to term"...then laser eyes, floating with umbilical cord dead doctors and nurses.
As for the informed consent part of Compound V...seems like they all had at least an idea of what they were getting themselves in to. Annie's mum mentioned something, I'm sure - and Marie (Gen V) was expecting powers but had to wait until...well, you know...

Watched Furiosa, and it was awesome. Chris Hemsworth was made to play villains not supes. I don't understand why this movie wasn't successful. Maybe because it wasn't politically correct.

In addition to The Boys, I've also been watching House of the Dragon S2 (it has been OK, not really moved to talk about it much) and Interview with the Vampire Part 2, which has been amazing. A bit of a slow start, but the three male leads are absolutely killing it. Who knew Grey Worm could act like that? My wife loves the books, but says the changes (pretty much everything ) work for her. I haven't read any Anne Rice, so have no issues there. Horny gay vampire love/hate triangle isn't really how I would describe my ideal story, but here we are.

Worth a watch even though it's a bit old. Is House of The Dragon worth watching? Very excited for the new series "A Knight of The Seven Realms" the book is really good.

I have seen the original movie, but remember almost nothing other than the cast. HotD is certainly worth watching, at least a few episodes to see if it is your thing. Did you like Game of Thrones? It is fundamentally different, being based on an “in world history”, rather than a PoV series, but the similarities are there and the series works. Very interested in A Knight…Dunk and Egg!!!

It was written as though it were a history of that period of the Targaryen dynasty written by a Maester. I think GRRM has said that the headline events all happened, though.

(it has been OK, not really moved to talk about it much) Yeah, there isn't much to say really. It's not the type of show I have much to speculate on. Worth a watch but easily digestible. GoT-Lite. Not a lot of investment, but along for the ride. I like Otto.

Read the webcomic circa fifteen years ago. I'm not normally a rom-com guy, but the comic was a fond memory, so I went for it. One of those weird experiences where the adaption changes almost everything about the concept except for the core premise, and every change either makes perfect sense or adds more to the story than the original version did. Aside from the cast being 25/+ years older than in the comic, which took some mental adjustment, but became charming and fit this version better. The thing that won me over was the titular Marry Me moment, where Owen Wilson's character goes along with the whole thing because he's visibly hurting for this woman and wants to get her out of the insane high-pressure situation and into a place where she's okay, without caring what kind of media storm that's going to mean for him, rather than getting swept up in the craziness of it all. That immediately made it clear that this was a much more grounded and mature approach to the whole thing, which the movie pretty much bears out. Really, they did as well as could possibly be done making the premise feel plausible. Lots of little moments with some decent thematic meat on them, too, like the differences between her understanding of social media as a passionate star and influencer vs his experience of it as a schoolteacher seeing the effects it has on young people in his classroom, and her showing up and giving his math class tips about public speaking, projecting confidence and dealing with nervousness. Wilson even pulls some historical knowledge into a press conference to deflect awkward questions. And I rather liked the use of screens within screens to communicate the online/media atmosphere in the background. Feel like I'm going to watch it in fifteen years and feel instantly transported back to the 20's. Only bad thing about the film is Sarah Silverman's sociopathic lesbian best friend character. And no, that's not slap against lesbians, that's a full summary of the character she plays. Outside her involvement, which is thankfully limited, it's a gem.
