The Boys: SN1.7

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

I’m gonna dive into this like Trey Songz...

                        THE SELF-PRESERVATION SOCIETY

We’re starting off with a flashback my dudes.

BECCA looks like she is just..... flabbergasted. 

BUTCHER just doing the usual stocking

once again the lovemaking scenes just aren’t needed...

Anyways why is ANNIE so worried about where this dude lives?

I understand her concern for things but damn y’all only really known each other for like a month maybe even two? shit I’ll go out on a limb and 3 1/2 months.

Damn HOMELANDER lookin’ at the photos like he’s about to destroy these bitchies

Well, now he remembers who BUTCHER is... FUCK

THE DEEP looks sick af walkin’ into that hotel room 

“Not much crime in Sandusky. I mean we’re not a shithole like Akron.“ *chuckles* - HOST

DEEPER: A MEMOIR

this is what happens when you do drugs kids... >> A-TRAIN

A-TRAIN has the realist brother in the game rt

PSA: HOMELANDER HAS RALLIED THE TROOPS

BLACK NOIR is the chilliest dude. 

“We’re not even the seven anymore were down to five. I mean we’re dropping like fucking flies.” - HOMELANDER

STARLIGHT is all shaken up now

“Keep those hands down by your sides missy.” - HOMELADNER 

HOMELANDER really is full of shit saying that STARLIGHT wants to make this whole dilemma between her and THE DEEP a “single ladies moment” SMH 

LOL the camera pan to BLACK NOIR

Oh so now MAEVE wants to stand up for STARLIGHT 

MAEVE can fucking take this guy but she’s mentally not capable of doing it. 

KIMIKO looks happy af stirring that shit. (Living her best life with FRENCHIE)

M.M. was right... he shouldn’t have fucked the sup...

“Right so it’s better to be loyal to a dead woman who doesn't care? So how is that working out for you?!” - HUGHIE

dang he didn’t have to do BUTCHER like that! he looked sick af

SIMON PEGG is the fucking man!

M.M. was right... he shouldn’t have fucked the sup...

“Shut the fuck“ ~ A-TRAIN 

I’m sorry but that shit really sent me LOL. It’s just the way he delivered that line was really funny. 

Don’t put POPCLAW’s death on HUGHIE like that!!! You didn’t even have to her! ol’ stoophid ass

“I know I get it. Everything that butcher touches turns to shit.” - M.M.

HIS NAME IS FUCKIN’ MARVIN

TRANSITION SCENE: HOMELANDER & STILLWELL

Now he’s bringing up BECCA

She clearly doesn’t give 2 fucks about this woman.

“I just assumed she quit.” - STILLWELL

She’s such a fucking liar. When someone is presumed to be missing or dead you do feel some type of concern. And if BECCA had the same job as ASHLEY then definitely knew something was up.  

wow THE DEEP can still pull some p***y out in Ohio or whatever the fuck he is.

WOAH THIS DUDE HAS FUCKING GILLS!!

EWW SHE’S STICKING HIS FUCKING FINGER IN THERE

WELL NOW HE KNOWS THAT NO MEANS NO JERK 

I have a feeling that MESMER is gonna get fucked up.... 

... the feeling was right...

FLASHBACK: MALLORY & BUTCHER

She was in there with him for 3 fucking hours?!?!

So this is MALLORY... 

“I’m the person who can get you payback.” - MALLORY

Well after what happened to your grandkids you deserve the most payback. 

It’s going to take some time but QUEEN MAEVE is number 2 on my dislike list. I think we all know whose number 1.

THE DEEP is always having conversations with these fucking animals 

WTF is he gonna do with that lobster

ROFL!!!!!!! IT’S THE DOLPHIN ALL OVER AGAIN!

“You can call me Uncle Billy.” - BUTCHER

slapped him like it was nothin’ 

damn he done called her an “oriental girl”

Transition Scene: HOMELANDER & DOC

HOMELANDER’s fucking name is JOHN?!?!!?

Whenever I see this man I just think of him as JOHN FALCON from GOTHAM

I fuckin’ knew something was up!!

DID Y’ALL SEE HER FUCKING STOMACH NGLOW!!!!

All that goddamn blood on the floor crazy ass shit 

ICONIC DIALOGUE

DOC - “When I raise subjects without there mothers they become violent, aggressive, downright hateful. You should’ve been raised with a family who loved you. Not in a cold lab with doctors.”

HOMELANDER - “And yet I turned out great.”

DOC - “When I think of what it’s done to you and what you can now do to everyone else. *sighs* I’m sorry.”

HOMELANDER - “I don’t want your fucking apology.” 

DOC - “All this is my fault.”

HOMELANDER - “What do you want? What?! You want forgiveness? Now... after you raised me like a fucking lab rat?! No too little too late.”

I’m sorry for the lone dialogue but I needed to post this because it shows insight on how JOHN became to be the way he is now... (but with that being said I would like to see some scene of him when he was younger so we can truly feel it.)

He shouldn’t have fuckin’ said that...

ICONIC DIALOGUE

STILLWELL - “I’m sorry I’m afraid I’m not following.”

SUSAN - “You and your corporation are fucked. Unequvically unalaterally fucked. How was that? Was that clealier for you??”

BRUH HER FUCKIN’ FACE WHEN THE COMPOUND V WAS OUT

wow it was like that was perfect timing 

“Naqib means Captain. We believe it’s his supe name” - WORKER 

BUTCHER REALLY SHOT THIS CHICK IN HER CHEST TWICE!!!!!!!

___________

Hey, I don’t know if I said this before but I do all of this on my laptop. So if you’re looking at it from your phone or any other mobile device it’s going to look pretty different when it comes to the layout of the words. Just want y’all to know that just because this is the second to last episode doesn’t mean that you should just forget that EVERYONE’S A CRITIC WHEN THEIR OPINION MATTERS THE LEAST…

The Boys: Season 1/ Spoiler Free Review

So, I just finished watching the new TV-show (which I have been waiting pretty much since its very announcing) and, boy (haha), it’s was diabolical.

That a very bad feeling, when you’re waiting for something for too long, getting excited for every piece of information you receive and then when it comes out, you realize that your expectations were much bigger than this show/movie/book can offer you. Fortunately, watching this show (especially first 5 episodes of it) I couldn't stop but feeling some kind of relief as the show was surprisingly good. 

Without any further discussion let me try to tell you what good and bad sides of the show are.

1. Visual effects

Though I believe the show didn’t have a big budget, the visual effects were pretty good, all this blood and supe’s “stuff” looked very cool and pleasant for eyes to watch. Moreover, I really liked the colouring the creators decided to use which gives this show its very unique style. And every “the boys” opening was just as perfect as you can only imagine it to be. That’s all I can say, like, really.

2. Music

Oh, boi. I can’t describe how AWESOME the music in the show was. I’m not talking about the original soundtrack which really suits the whole atmosphere but the songs that were used there. It not only introduces every character with his/her own character-describing theme but makes every shot diabolically stylish. I mean I’m listening to those songs on repeat. Very cool stuff. Even better than The Umbrella Academy’s, though, it’s very hard for me to admit it. 

Btw, my favs are “Iggy Pop - The Passenger”, “Daniel Pemberton - Take You Down”, “R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts” and “Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine”.

3. Characters

That’s gonna be a very big topic, prepare yourselves to this. 

Billy Butcher. Played by diabolical Karl Urban this character stole my attention with the first trailers, promos etc. Man, he’s good. He’s awesome. Though I can’t tell that while watching the show itself Bucher was my favourite because there were some moments (especially with his wife) that weren’t emotional enough (comparing to the more or less the same theme in Punisher, for example). I wasn’t on his side fully. That’s why the ending didn’t play to me as it supposed to. Though yeah, he’s diabolical.

Hugh "Hughie" Campbell. So, Hughie was definitely the one who had a character developing line in the show and with that said he was growing as a person throughout the whole season. I really like what the creators did with him, and his line was never boring, always understandable and interesting. Really into what is going to happen with him in the 2nd season.

John/Homelander. Antony Starr did an amazing job showing this very complex character. My thoughts towards him were changing constantly during the process of watching. Closer to the end he was stealing every scene. What a character, what a story. You bought me, I’m waiting for the 2nd season.

Annie January/Starlight. I was afraid her line wouldn’t be as complex as it could have been, comparing to the others. I was wrong. I really sympathized her, her story was actually sad and inspiring at the same time. Cool. 

Frenchie. That was a “surprise” character for me. I mean, I didn’t expect to worry about him, but his line turned out to be very interesting and very enjoyable to watch. 

A-Train. I hate this character from the beginning to the end. Maybe the final episode’s stuff changes him and I won’t be so certain about my feelings? We’ll see. 

“Can you teach me to run out cancer?”

Marvin "Mother's Milk". I don’t know if it were just my thoughts but while watching I felt like Marvin was really left out. Maybe it was because of the number of the characters the show had or the creators decided to leave something for the 2nd season, but there wasn’t a lot of him on the screen and his character's development. I don’t know him that much.

Kimiko / the Female. Her storyline was actually something very new to me. I was into her story and every new piece of information we were given gave her a very new perspective look. Hoping to see more of her in the future.

Queen Maeve. As in the situation with Marvin, there is something in her, and we were shown her character changing (the plane scene and its consequences) but still, could have been more? 2nd season, ha?

Kevin/The Deep. That was a very weird part of the story, I didn’t get it, really. So I have very mixed up feelings about this character and... cough *gills* cough scene.

Madelyn Stillwell. She was a person with her own motivation, she had her view on everything, she knew what she wanted. Maybe, that’s why I considered her as the main villain of the season.

Hugh Campbell. They got Simon Pegg!!! Yaaas.10 unexpected cameos out of 10.

There are much more characters, some of which were more interesting than the others, but everybody felt like they belonged there. Diabolical cast.

4. The Main Plot

Attention! I haven’t read the comics, so all that I’m going to talk about is the show. I don’t know what’s going in comics and I’m judging just by what I’ve seen in the show.

As you could have noticed, I said at the very beginning that the first 5 episodes were good. I didn’t lie. In fact, they were perfect. The structure, the dynamic, character’s development, their relations with each other, diabolical actions scenes, blood and stuff. 

The first 5 episodes were iconic, very stylish, unique. The authors really decided to make a satirical story on superheroes and the real situation in the world, showing some stuff that is happening or more likely to happen within the circumstances. The people, events were so down to earth it was very easy to believe that such things really could have happened. 

And the plot. It was interesting, so much mystery, unknown and I was sitting, asking myself a bunch of questions and hoping to find astonishing answeres later in the season.

And the Spicy Girls’ reference - I laughed so hard. Awesome.

Unfortunately, something went a little bit wrong and starting with the 6th episode it wasn’t as exciting as it was before. I can’t tell that everything went wrong and it was impossible to watch, no. Just the tone and the style were gone, for some reason, plot twists didn’t work for me that much (not all of them, of course). I just found myself looking on the timeline of the episode (you know what I mean). 

Also, I thought, in the end, there would be a big diabolical fight between two characters (spoiler-free, hehe), but there was a scene of them just talking. Don’t get me wrong, I like talking stuff, it just didn’t feel like those character’s actions. Maybe again, the budget. But first five episodes worked with it, so why?

In the end, it was a very diabolical TV-show, and I’m going to watch the 2nd season, hoping that the creators won’t lose their style and motives closer to the end of it, ‘cause people are likely to remember last moments than the first ones)

Gonna give it 8,5 diabolical supes out of 10 (for the first five episodes).

[bowietracks]

Life On Mars? was the last song written for Hunky Dory, pretty much as Bowie and crew were entering the studios to record the album. Bowie tells a number of stories about it. The most famous is that the song was a version of My Way. That song was originally Claude François’ Comme D'Habitude (written by François, Gilles Thibault and Jacques Revaux). Back in ’68, Bowie had written new English lyrics for it, but in the end no-one went with his version called Even a Fool Learns to Love – which explored a failed love affair. A little later, Paul Anka did his own version – retitling the song My Way. Anyhow, Bowie had heard My Way on the radio and wanted to create his own take on the tune. Later still, apparently, the full concept came to him on a bus, he leapt off and ran home and recorded a short demo. Is this demo that version, or one from a little later? Pegg tells us the demo exists in the hands of a few collectors, and lasts about 2 minutes, with only the first verse and chorus. But BBC Radio 4 played a snippet back in 2017 to promote a Bowie documentary called The Last Five Years (2017). Pegg also tells of rumours, but only rumours, of another demo of the full song, with Ronno on piano. Anyhow, follow the link to a 20 second extract of the original demo:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/previously-unheard-david-bowie-track-9591523

Written by David Bowie. Recorded early June 1971. Unreleased. In the hands of private collectors.
