@doctorxkai Ah yes, it’s not the plot inconsistencies, tonal imbalances, or the rushed/incomplete storylines. It’s illiterate fans.

Kripe just know, it was a good finale bro, dis fanbase just illiterate.
Culture Crave 🍿@CultureCrave
'The Boys' S5 finale is at 6.7 on IMDb The final two episodes are the lowest-rated in the show's history
English
@ThatPolishGuy84 @TheCriticalDri2 No, it’s just his fault for making the show all about that instead of more interesting things like it was in season 1. Not to mention the plot inconsistencies, decline in character development, tone-killing attempts at humor, all of those ARE his fault no matter how bad Trump is.
English
@TheCriticalDri2 The Boys is and always was satire. It's not Eric's fault Americans elected most satire-worthy person to be their president
English
Trump's been living rent free in Eric Kripke's head for a decade at this point.
The Boys Out of Context Clips@TheBoysOOCC
Eric Kripke reveals Antony Starrs goal was never to create Homelander as a Donald Trump Parody. #TheBoys “I totally understand Ant's point of view. He's like, 'I'm not doing a caricature. I'm trying to create a character with a consistent internal life.' And I absolutely agree and respect that," Kripke says. "So we'll just work on purely internal logic and character motivation and we won't bring Trump into it all that much." (Via:@EW)

@the_det_times Postseason was a disappointment based on the regular season success. Overall, 60 wins and winning a playoff series is not a failure, but the expectations for next season have to be higher. Not exceeding this year’s run would definitely be a failure.
English
True or False: The Pistons 2025-2026 NBA season was a success.

@GoBucks5240 @UMFanJosh I mean this call was still incorrect but in an 18 point loss it doesn’t mean as much
English
@UMFanJosh They want us to believe they dont care when they spent nearly 10 years crying about the 2016 spot lol.
English
I don’t know a single Michigan fan that is still crying or cares about this play anymore
Jake Hurricane@BigJakeCLE
Just a friendly reminder to every Michigan fan still crying about it: Jeremiah Smith’s 35 yard touchdown was, in fact, a touchdown. The ball crossed the plane, the refs got it right, and no amount of coping changes the scoreboard. 27-9. #GoBucks🌰

@greekmethd @lunyracent This was about movies/shows if you recall, where motivations and reasoning are amplified beyond simply what action is actually worse. Nobody wants to see a character rape somebody out of revenge, and you understand exactly why. It’s not a worse thing it’s just less defensible.
English
@greekmethd @lunyracent Ok bruh I think you understand the point, you’re just trying to fight. We’re talking about framing the justification of the action. From a perspective and narrative standpoint, one can sometimes be viewed as justified and the other cannot. It’s simple if you have basic intellect
English
i don’t like how rape is played off as a joke
Daniel Richtman@DanielRPK
Here's a challenge: say something NEGATIVE about THE BOYS
English
@greekmethd @lunyracent I’ll put it this way; in similar circumstances murder is worse, but (right or not) killing someone can be viewed in a less negative light under extreme or narrative circumstances. Violating someone’s autonomy to fulfill desires simply can’t be framed in a less negative view.
English
@shapes800 @lunyracent No murder can not be redeemed without a proper punishment, same to rape
Thats exactly what im trying to say we shouldn't be used to justify or let people get away with murder because its far worse than rape.
English
@greekmethd @lunyracent Probably because there’s no redeeming quality about it. We’re used to wanting bad characters to ‘die’ and accept death as a common end for characters, or a necessary means to protect something. There’s no moral justification or grey area for rape.
English
@lunyracent Why do people act like rape is worse than murder. Movies and shows have been making fun of murder and killing for decades now and people got used to laugh at it or even like it. But when it comes to rape they draw the line
We are adults we know both are crimes ffs
English
@TalI_guy This was actually the first time I found Firecracker interesting, made the final scene the most tense I felt in awhile with this show. Homelander actually felt scary again. I didn’t love all of the episode, not sure if the timing is perfect but I was more engaged than all of S4/5
English
The boys reveals that modern audiences can’t handle multiple plotlines. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the boys but it takes an idiot to call this episode filler.
“I don’t care” isn’t valid criticism
J𝐀NE𝜗𝜚.˚𐙚💞@Blonddieee_
This is the worst episode of The Boys so far. Who cares about Terror?? Who cares where Black Noir disappears to every afternoon? Who cares about Firecracker’s childhood or her reverend storyline? Who even cares what Sage wants right now? Where’s Marie? Where’s the V? Where’s the god-damned action??????? There are only three episodes left, and all they did was talk and talk Worst episode!!!
English
@_chris96bcfc Putting 14:00 and 18:00 in the same category is probably the most absurd take I’ve heard this decade
English
22 - 25 is not average when 90% of the adult population probably couldn’t run a continuous running 5k
David Dack@DavidDack
How fast is your 5K? • 12–14 min = Olympic-level • 14–18 min = Elite • 18–22 min = Competitive • 22–25 min = Average • 25–30 min = Fit enough • 30–40 min = Beginner Over 40? You’re out there trying. And honestly… that counts more than people admit. Most people won’t even test themselves over 5K. They’ll stay comfortable and never find out. You did. That already puts you in a different group.
English
@gogreen517 I grew up near EL and I can assure you at least half of State fans were either dropouts or went to LCC, CMU, EMU, WMU, or in some cases went on to be athletes at other high level schools and still rooted for MSU every season. Do you gate them from your fanbase too? Glass house.
English
Can we see the degree that goes along with that? Because that’s something most MSU fans can do that UM fans can’t!

Things osu and sparty fans can’t do! 😎😎😎

@StephenToski Is LOTR really all that? I saw Fellowship of the Ring in 2014 and I remember finding it confusing and difficult to follow. I might give them another chance but I remember not understanding the appeal at all when I watched it. Loved King Kong 2005 though.
English
Peter Jackson is the boring but probably correct answer. Otherwise:
1. Villenueve
2. Kubrick
3. Nolan
4. Coen brothers
5. Coppola
6. Fincher
7. Tarantino
8. Peele
Comedy nod to McKay
cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic
Which director made the best '3 movies in a row' in your opinion?
English
@Underwood_szn 39 points on a lot of possessions. Still, people forget he was pretty good in some stretches
English
Good question
Shea Patterson. People act like he was so bad. He was actually pretty damn good and was a victim of ISIS leader Don Brown. Do not forget he put up 39 on Ohio State and still lost. He was a good QB
RolderDPOY@lucaskent27
@Underwood_szn One player, who everyone despises from Michigan. Is there anyone in particular who you feel like you are the only one who likes them? Or the other way around
English
@shortnsevered Most of the Skyler defenders don’t realize the reason she’s disliked. It’s not because she ‘did something wrong’ the way Walt does, it’s her disposition and her role in the show. Her actions are right, but her personality is irritating.
English
@Spo0kyBoiTV @ScottJund And their reaction is perfectly defensible, that’s the point. I think it’s you who are behind on this one
English
@shapes800 @ScottJund That's not the point about YOU. It's what the other commentors are saying.
Try to be more reasonably aware -_-
English
i really don't understand my fellow American's absolute joy at the thought of murdering a person, even if they threatened their family. like don't get me wrong i'd shoot someone that broke into my house and threatened my family but my mental health would be completely shattered
English
@ScottJund I can’t speak for others but I don’t “wish” for this scenario. However, if I’m in the situation or I’m made to imagine myself in that situation, the circumstance makes me feel that way. I’m not saying it’s right but that’s a very normal, very human, very understandable response.
English
@shapes800 the normal, rational response is "i dont want to be in this situation at all." instead, you have people wishing he came to their door so they could murder him.
English
@SlimSparty Not everyone watches all the games. There’s plenty of people who just occasionally root for MSU, or Michigan, or any other team. Life can get complicated and if you’re not an avid fan of a particular sport the whole season can easily blow by without you noticing.
English
I’m wearing MSU clothing. Man in a Michigan hat comes to me and says “How about them Wolverines”. I said “yup they played well”. He then says “I didn’t even know they were in the championship til I heard it on the radio on that Monday”. 🤦♂️ True story. Happened this morning..
