I always thought Chris Isaak would make a great Larry.

Because she’s an indignation-based life form?

That is a very low bar to cross. Automan would be good too if we got Joss Whedon to reboot it. 

Evidently. I mean a female aristocrat brutally tortures possibly hundreds of women to death over the course of decades. In a lustful manner no less. Not only is she a female serial killer, she is maybe the worst serial killer in history.  

Man I respect the man a lot but I'm also reminded of how dismissive he is to female killers.  He just suns it up as too rare to care, Aileen was a one off.  Roy Hazelwood was even worse, flatly saying they don't exist.  I would have loved him to interview people like Nannie Doss or Jane Toppan if she had been alive. …

Yeah, I have to agree. I don’t remember much about the book, but I definitely remember him being adamant that Wayne Williams was a serial killer and responsible for many of those cases. It should also be noted that whenever Douglas is confronted with a case that has a high number of victims he likes to pull out the…

Exactly.  There were also witnesses to several of the kids getting in the same type of car Wayne had, and his parents admitting they made up the alibi for a few cases.  Also the whole he is too nice to kill kinda fell apart when he lashed out in court ferociously.  I'm fairly convinced he did it on more then just the…

Ummmm big correction. You made it sound like John Douglas thinks Wayne didn’t do it. He absolutely thinks Wayne killed people. He thinks he killed more then the two he was convicted of. He doesn’t think Wayne killed all 29 kids. That’s what he thinks. For the record I have the same thoughts. Wayne is guilty as shit…

I’ve seen court ordered apologies that were more sincere

Ben, my tiny, tiny dude. “Just behind Brandon Jennings, and ahead of Jared Dudley” isn’t doing the work you think it’s doing.

“a better approach would be to start with heroes who really try to be heroes and not people who are so cartoonishly evil.”

But that’s the titular Boys, no? They’re trying to do good but they (quickly) end up as literal murderers. Hughie seems to enjoy killing Transluscent, on some level. To me, they kind of don’t do…

Really, it starts out as a superhero story, at least in the comics. The Boys have superpowers; their villains seems like they have more, so the boys have to win with training and guile. They’re not wearing costumes, but other than that, it’s a pretty standard set-up.

Minor comic spoilers:

The subversion for me comes…

Except Starlight, she’s a little ray of sunshine compared to the rest of them.

Because if they said it, Maggie Haberman would stop being able to phone Ivanka to get gossip and “insider” information.

Because even in the Era of Trump they still abide by the whole “Well we don’t know if someone is lying!” standard. What they fail to realize is that as soon as someone unscrupulous chooses to take advantage of that standard it all goes to hell. By not calling out his (or anyone’s) lies, suddenly the media is the one no…

If you think the decision to make The Deep a rapist in the pilot is head-scratching, don’t read the original comic, in which the perpetrator is Homelander...and Black Noir, and A-Train, all at once. 

I haven’t read the comics but I thought it was more like everyone in The Seven except for Homelander were real people with real issues who have been ground down by seeing so many bad things and by being corporate shills for years and years. Hell, Queen Maeve pretty much says all of that to Starlight in that one…

I think it’s more nuanced than that.

Queen Maeve is clearly more disillusioned than evil.

Yeah that’s why the decision to make The Deep a rapist in the pilot is so head-scratching. Perhaps actually show the heroes being heroes before we see how “unheroic” they truly are behind closed doors. How can we sympathize with A-Train when our introduction to him is him nonchalantly killing an innocent bystander?

I think Shang-Chi will be surprisingly big. Especially if they can pull off a Marvel version of wire-fu.
