“And I’m not a clone. I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people saying that I was cloned out there.”

Sounds like something a clone would do tbh.

People make the joke about them being different people all the time, I’m almost certain it was intentional.

I would watch this guy watching paint dry. Not really feeling the trailer but I have faith.

Dude, I’m over here!

Aww, the first single off the album isn’t “Party Monkey”?

Worked for The Hobbit . . . oh, wait . . .

Homelander’s much more convincing as a real human being who could exist than Trump.

The world really dodged a bullet by not doing a comic-accurate The Boys.

Brotherhood of the Wolf was pretty awesome.

Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best sci fi movies of the last 20 years.  I think what made it subversive was the timing of release.  Cruise was at a weird place culturally and a lot of people were amused by the idea of seeing him die a few dozen times.  That’s an unusual marketing hook.

I’d read the original novel before seeing the movie and in that context it was impossible not to see the satire.

Im sorry, this movie is 3 hours and part 1 of 4 with no guarantee anything else will get funded? By the man behind Waterworld?

It is a fun, one of a kind movie 

For me Starship Troopers prefigured The Boys as a satire that flew over the heads of at least part of the audience. I know people who to this day do not understand that it is anti-militaristic and take it at face value. (Mond you, these are the same people who laughed instead of cringed at Clint Eastwood’s Korean jokes…

It didn’t fail at being FUCKING AWESOME though.

Don’t flatter yourself.

Interesting list. One movie that aspired I think to be a subversive action movie but failed was Megaforce.

...the bigoted part is insisting trans women are male and demanding to treat them as such, and increasing the already incredibly high risk they face. HTH

1. Trans women are women. They are also at risk for sexual assault. Trans women are routinely subjected to harrassment and assault in public bathrooms. Forcing them to use male restrooms makes them greatly less safe. The 97% of women stat you cite is not women being assaulted by cis-men dressed as women.
