@hijinkery_ @The3rdGremlin @chcltcnamonroll @horrifichymns theyre probably saving the mm and edgar storyline for one of the spinoffs

@The3rdGremlin @chcltcnamonroll @horrifichymns but then he gets back in power with no consequences 😭

homelander does not deserve sympathy from anyone, but theres something so tragic about the fact that nobody outside of vought will ever know the extent of what vought/stan edgar did to him

@Eeesssshhhhh @lxrdkensv your fault for trusting marketing to begin with

@jimmerald @lxrdkensv Yeah we have a term for marketing that as is wildly inaccurate. It’s called false advertising And inaccurate marketing is almost never THIS egregious. Please don’t defend this dog shit

THE ENDING WAS GREAT STOP BEING CRYING BABYS AND ENJOY ONCE IN A LIFETIME

@Jeppy_Jothers @lxrdkensv strongly worded black and white opinions get more engagement than nuanced takes

@lxrdkensv Your first mistake was trying to find anything else but hate on Twitter.

@ABizarreGuy @lxrdkensv if everyone liked the finale, he wouldve put out a video praising it. he just tries to appeal to as many people as possible so he can make the most money

@lxrdkensv Moistcritikal is such a spineless fence sitter, he posts worthless low quality slop that appeals to the majority and calls it content

@Eeesssshhhhh @lxrdkensv when is marketing ever accurate

@lxrdkensv Regardless of whether you liked it or not, it did NOT live up to what was marketed. You can’t blame people for being disappointed when they were objectively lied to. None of this marketing happened in the show. None of it. Now lawn, space, bombs, none of it.

@Showmeyorteeth maybe they can be, but they arent!

@jimmerald obviously i looked it up before i even quote tweeted you and yes according regreener, carbon credits can be effective regreener.earth/blog/carbon-cr…

selective activism is crazy cause carbon credits are proven effective for fighting climate change but because its taylor suddenly its not #noticing

@illgobacktoLA @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery smithschool.ox.ac.uk/news/carbon-of…

@jimmerald @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery There’s literally a 2024 Nature Communications meta-analysis of 80 causal studies across 21 carbon pricing systems showing emissions reductions of 5–21%. Criticize bad offsets if you want, but saying there’s ‘no scientific basis’ is just false.

Fucking free people in jail for weed my god

@MauLer93 you and every other faggot are just mad that your sigma character isnt actually so sigma without his powers

"My skin didn't char but I was screaming in agony, my tears just sizzled away." Homelander has a few moments that give insight to his relationship with pain. It defined his life and yet he has grown numb to it. He responds with anger in almost every instance of challenge but that's not because of the pain, it's the sheer desire for vengeance on a world that created him to receive and perform every torture and manipulation. Homelander took on three supes at once, got beaten, tossed around and nearly killed. He was inches from losing everything...but he didn't even hint at begging. He simply got more and more furious. Watch his fight with Maeve in s3, she can and does make him bleed but he goes for vengeance and immediately takes her eye. Not because he's so scared of her causing him pain but because he wants her to suffer much like anyone else crossing him as part of getting his pay back. Same for the guys who tortured him when he was a child. Homelander lasered his own arm open and didn't give much of a shit because pain isn't new to him whatsoever. He's an egomaniacal psychopath with a horrific history of intense childhood trauma turning him into a vengeful monster. This ending feels more like a self masturbatory fantasy where Kripke sees his enemies begging to suck his cock while he kills them. It does not however, for many in the audience, feel like the ending for Homelander. A broken monster losing the only avenue of enacting vengeance on the terrible world that he always wanted approval from. I would have perhaps expected him to see red, to enter an impotent rage, unable to do the damage he's desperate to achieve only to reach a despondent end. Knowing he is now incapable of taking that revenge, and has to simply deal with his psychopathy. Ending on a hard fought, bloody fight with Butcher, who would eventually win due to his training but at the very least give us a decent back and forth about how much meaning could be drawn from this fight. Butcher was created by Homelander and there's something to say about both men being exposed nerves turned empty shells, struggling to feel anything by taking even a sliver of vengeance whenever possible. I would picture them both drenched in blood, fighting to the bitter end, devoid of humanity, demanding payment for something they can't even fully rationalise anymore, after having taken so many lives. At the end, they couldn't even follow through on the threat Homelander was warned to be throughout the entire series, stemming from having lost a loving mother and father to protect and raise him as opposed to a sterile laboratory. The countless humiliations and tortures he suffered as a child, created Homelander as we know him. I guess, him being humiliated at the end is a good enough throughline to argue this was somehow worth it? "Evil Superman" was mostly a bad joke and they cashed in a petty ending for social media instead of finding something more in the material. Nothing here has layered thematic value for the history the show presented, your just supposed to vicariously enjoy kicking your own personal monster while he's powerless, enjoy him begging to suck your cock and eat shit while you kill him. It's all a rather long waste of time and can happily sit next to so many other stories that fail to realise their potential in this generation. But oh well, we still have Mandalorian and Grogu I guess...

@DanielHC31985 @ConnorNoro @_claypot people dont want their goyslop escapism to come to an end..

@ConnorNoro @_claypot It was never guaranteed that he would snap. The massacre wasn't necessary, but not everyone is going to be happy with any form of entertainment. It's just the popular thing in the modern era for everyone to jump on the bandwagon of hating on every series finale. It is what it is.

people decided they were gonna hate the finale like 5 episodes ago

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm theres a million excuses that could be made since people dont act rationally 100% of the time in the real world anyways, but i just think the way they backed him into a corner was a little forced. they couldve done it more naturally and had butcher come up with a more clever plan

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm Factor in that Homelander is delusional, egotistical, and thinks he's god now. He knows what butcher is capable of, but thinks it won't matter, until he starts to lose in which case he tries to run away like a coward

wait doesn't homelander have fucking SUPER hearing? how did he not hear the boys fighting next door, starlight breaking windows, and father SCREAMING with his powers WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS WRITING MANNNN 😭😭😭😭

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm homelander is familiar with butcher and knows that hes a real threat, youre talking about this like he has no idea who the man is or what he had planned

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm It does. Think of it like a bully is picking on a kid who's smaller than him. The bully thinks that because the kid is small, he'll be an easy target. But then the bully finds the smaller kid knows martial arts. All of a sudden he doesn't seem like such an easy target and he runs

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm but hes also a coward, so that doesnt align with his character at all

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm Same reason as the first time he did it. He's egotistical and thinks he'll win

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm why would homelander ever willingly put himself in another situation like the one at herogasm

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm I went back to check and you're right, Frenchie does tell Homelander that they successfully recreated Soldier Boy's power. BUT Homelander only tries to run when it's starting to look like it's not going to be an easy win for him

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm except he literally did, people told him about the experiment multiple times LOL

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm He literally didn't tho. Again you need to pay attention to the shows you watch

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm he literally already knew that, they wouldnt have been there unless they were successful with the experiment

@jimmerald @AxelTalksFilm Cuz he found out they had a way to take his powers. You guys need to start paying attention to the shows you watch

@goodguybandaid @AxelTalksFilm then why did he try to run LMAO

@AxelTalksFilm Homelander wanted that fight with butcher. He even says he was expecting him

@Cultrai @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery i would be surprised if they even did that

@jimmerald @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery Lowkey I would assume they vote in ways that match their perspective at the very least but we shouldn’t assume stuff about people we dont know 🤷‍♂️

@suspectcelery @Cultrai @VoluntaryMoron name one of the real world things you do

@Cultrai @jimmerald @VoluntaryMoron Your battle is so valiant @Cultrai 🙏🏻 they’re intentionally obtuse here but please know I appreciate you lmao this was a tweet I expected no one to see like everything else I tweet, I do a whole slew of real world things, and these idiots have made up whole novels of fiction lol

@Cultrai @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery im assuming theyre trying to show off because theyre just saying shit on twitter and arent actually doing anything about it. what are they accomplishing besides letting people know how they feel about the issue?

@jimmerald @VoluntaryMoron @suspectcelery To who their 600 followers? 💀 Did they condemn anyone who might disagree with them? Did they say their opinion is the only one that’s morally justified? No, you’re just assuming that they’re trying to show off with their opinion for some reason.
