@DanielRPK If those 5 tones play at any moment... goosebumps.

Spielberg is BACK!

I have a theory thread with Grok on this as a fun exercise. If even 1% of the theory was hinted at in @disclosureday, what do you think it would be? Disclosure Day from Steven Spielberg. x.com/i/grok/share/a…

@DanielRPK The music from Jaws... made generations afraid of going into the ocean. The shark broke so they didn't show it as they intended, went with that music, it's what they had and what worked

Yes

@CultureCrave He's like a an old school WWF over the top heel manager that bought into his own gimmick.

Eric Kripke has no plans to serve as showrunner on future 'The Boys' spinoff shows 📺 "I am excited to stretch my muscles on a couple other universes. But I’m also gonna remain to oversee stuff that’s coming out through this Vought Cinematic Universe. Quality control, be an advisor. My whole thing is I don’t wanna be the day-to-day showrunner, because I made my passion project; I made 'The Boys'" (via @RollingStone)

@DanielRPK Don't forget his other iconic roles for Hellboy and other GDT films, great work done.

His Silver Surfer was underrated

@RealJamesWoods The answer is yourself.

Do you have to use the life jacket at all?

Seems like an easy crowd pressing cameo to have in Secret Wars if they wanted, especially if they are trying to make a new MIB right now if rumors are true with Will Smith returning. Plus you have the Hemsworth and TT connection from International. The Neuralizer tech was from 'Friends', just make it the Beyonders or have them arresting mutants in the bg for a laugh.

First post Howard The Duck @Marvel IP, comic based film, that released before Blade and signaled a new direction in quality + box office potential?

@RealDeanCain Superman, Jessica Jones and Rocky Desantos. Win 🫡

@Bosslogic 👊

This was better

@robbystarbuck Cashew, pistachio, macadamia, peanuts, all we need.

No one really even likes almonds, do they? I just reluctantly eat them when they’re in a trail mix.

@Bosslogic Same. Although more than one from the crew have stated these reports are exaggerated, and there were no issues like this noted in Season 2's production. Seems more in line with the studio's crisis PR team narrative.

Tom is Mobland.... Guess I'm out

So, @TheBoysTV finale happened: The Boys started as one of the most promising shows on TV. Season 1 delivered a brutal, darkly hilarious deconstruction of superheroes with tight plotting, escalating stakes, and a terrifying Homelander who felt like a genuine, calculating threat. But by the final season, the show had completely un-written its own foundation. What began as subversive storytelling devolved into heavy-handed, one-lens social commentary that prioritized the creators' messaging over logic, character consistency, and audience satisfaction. The series has no coherent storytelling arc from beginning to end. It became little more than biased social commentary that will date it badly and destroy rewatchability. By the finale, there was no protagonist left to truly root for; the Boys themselves were too compromised, and the tone left the audience detached. The final season wasn't even internally coherent. It felt like entertainment for the people making it, not the viewers who invested in the early seasons. The Character and Logic Failures: Kimiko was ruined. They gave her Soldier Boy's powers through a contrived experiment (instead of just letting Soldier Boy handle it, which would have been far more cohesive). Then they had her speaking in a TikTok-brain-rot style that clashed with her established feral-survivor persona. Sister Sage had a super-regenerating brain as her power. Yet after losing it, she instantly became "dumber." That's not how brains work,knowledge and intelligence don't vanish like a light switch. Homelander's power scaling was all over the place. It took a superpowered Butcher, Hughie, and Soldier Boy to even restrain him in earlier seasons (and he still broke free). In the finale, Ryan and Butcher do it easily. He was hyped up with V1 supposedly amplifying his strength, yet his final fight showed him weaker than ever. His heat vision went from cutting Kimiko in half early in Season 5 to barely burning skin in the finale. No consistency, just whatever served the moment. The "scorched earth Homelander" was falsely advertised. The build-up suggested a full rampage, but instead we got targeted kills (including a satirical tech billionaire stand-in that felt like a direct jab). The ending rushed to cram in as many social commentary beats as possible.Season 1 Homelander would be sickened by Season 5 Homelander; not by the evil, but by the weakness and sloppiness. The calculated, menacing narcissist was reduced to a reactive, meme-bait vessel for on-the-nose points. He became manageable and diminished rather than the eternal, self-serving force he started as. The Missed Opportunity That Hurts Most: The show already had the perfect in-universe tools to do both sharp satire and stay true to its characters. Vought's executives, producers, and the movies they were filming were literal stand-ins for Hollywood creators pushing agendas. They could have had arcs showing the execs pressuring Homelander to "act a certain way" for the cameras and PR, making him look silly or on-message. Then, in the real world, a V1-amplified Homelander reverts to his true serial-killer narcissistic self and brutally punishes them for it. This would have delivered the social commentary (skewering the machine that created him) while keeping Homelander terrifying and consistent. It would have given the writers an elegant out instead of the worst branch of logic they chose. Season 1 Homelander reclaiming agency by lashing out at the very system trying to control his image? That would've been poetic, vicious, and satisfying.Instead, the show leaned into the most direct, preachy route. The satire stopped feeling clever and started feeling like the corporate pandering Vought itself would produce. Early seasons nailed the balance of chaos, dark humor, and character-driven stakes. Later seasons lost that. The Boys had potential to be a classic. Shame. @therealKripke @TheCriticalDri2 @Nerdrotics @GeeksGamersCom

@therealKripke @TheBoysTV Bit of a lunatic, huh?

OMG this is his review of what @TheBoysTV did to Homelander, I’ll never get a better review ever. #TheBoys

@GaryPetersonUSA The flags are f'd... the spelling is wonky... it's Nathan Lane. Trifecta achieved.

The left can’t handle my daughter’s new President Trump tattoo. Sorry, wokesters, consider yourselves owned.

@sircalebhammer Most headlines she's gotten in a while, why she keeps doubling down on this nonsense. That and she had the worst performance of any of the comedians there, it's in hindsight retorts that she couldn't come up with on the night.

Bro. Why did you attend a roast if you’re such a pussy?

@WTSmith17 @Grok both used logical branching and critical assessment well here, break it down.

Absolutely agree with @WTSmith17 On his assessment and the father on his rhetoric. youtu.be/TAq9wpKzFnY?si…
