Exactly. That’s why Superman is typically drawn as a scrawny twig man — because physique has nothing to do with it.

Thank you. I meant to type why didn’t Maeve wait for the marble to come out of Chalores and then attack before the transcending took place? It was literally the most vulnerable she could have ever been. I’m afraid the answer is the show runners really wanted to have a Maeve vs Chalores water fight and couldn’t write…

I don’t like Gal Gadot as an actor or as a person honestly(she a bit to pro apartheid for my liking) but she is built like Wonder Woman often is in comics. She is very often much more super model then MMA fighter in looks.

This is a weird comment, the only other significant live action version of WW is Lynda Carter. I mean its cool Natalie Portman got buff for her role but it was also unprecedented for a female superhero. I doubt Gal refused to work out, they just didn’t want her to because the producers didn’t think the market would…

I’ve spent this entire season thinking I need to go back and rewatch season three to figure this exact point out, lol.

It’s confusing for me because Tessa Thompson seems to be playing a new character this season, although her mustache-twirling villain is a lot of fun it doesn’t really resemble Dolores at all at this point to me. It makes slightly more sense to me to view Hale as Wyatt.

The writers certainly know how to abuse their audience.

It appears that scene was the last part of the simulations bernard was running in his version of the matrix and that dude was just there as a NPC to ask him this kind of dumb question so that we the audience get to watch something happening and dialogue spoken out loud. (same burning manhattan as it ended up irl)

But…

Really liked the episode, even though it was a non-stop existential crisis for me. There’s a TON of little things that don’t seem to add up that I have to assume will make sense next week, otherwise I have no idea why they exist:

I wonder what Charlotte’s “transcendence” actually is. It looks like the drones are transplanting the hosts’ pearls into new, very not-human bodies. Or are these just vessels that take them somewhere else for further processing?

It’s standard practice for people that have vomited on themselves, or just had their kidneys stolen. Sometimes this can happen at the same party.

“Dad, you look exactly the same ... you even have the same silly haircut from 23 years ago!”

The last bot Charlotte was going to have her core ball inserted is one of the most striking creations in a series that excels in its designs as well as its use of jaw-dropping architectural works. But it hit me that her core character was in fact so driven to create a utopia of stunning beauty, free from want and the…

Akecheta: “Do you understand now where all this is going?”

Bernard: “You’re a copy. Sorry. I had to make you rather hastily”

Why didn’t Maeve just let Chalores transcend instead of fighting her? And did Bernard even need Maeve at all to be a «weapon »? He could just deactivate the guards on his own…. Which was the only threat until Woke William shows up. It’s like he revived her only to die. Maybe he just wanted some company but why…

So we’re really going back to Dolores vs. MiB, huh? That’s a choice.

So, wait a minute—-Frankie knew that there was no way that Caleb can be Caleb (she even pointed out how he looks exactly the same as her youth), and then she just accepts that spawn #180 (or whatever) is her dad?

I like that it doesn’t have anything to say. What is it you need to be told by television?

Totally agree with this take. The reveal is broadly emblematic of what keeps The Boys in B- or C-level popcorn fare rather than the higher-quality ranks of superhero shows like Watchmen or Legion: The Boys simply doesn’t have anything to say. It’s just vague ramblings about “the man” in a high-budget desaturated…
