What was especially egregious is they’d set up a bad guy that worked because he wasn’t someone Oliver could just punch kick to defeat. After Al Ghul they seemed to try and change up the formula for the exact reasons you gave. Damien Dahrk had magic powers, Prometheus was playing this weird emotional/psychological game…

I totally get that. Like I said, I always thought it was weird. I just thought watching Kirk Acevedo chew scenery was fun. I also think it never bothered me as much because The Flash is much more egregious (to me) about it. The Flash, who spent almost an entire episode moving at a speed that made one second last an…

Not to nitpick, but Chinese Democracy was NOT a Guns N’ Roses album. It was an Axl Rose and a bunch of other guys album. Appetite For Destruction was a fucking Guns N’ Roses album.

Megyn Kelly defended blackface, she doesn’t compare.  NBC fucked up because they’re thirsty for some of that crazy FNC demo.

Better than His Girl Friday? (I’m going to watch this one of course, but HGF is probably my favorite.)

Don’t you like Rob Zombie movies?
WHY? Don’t they make you puke?? Aren’t they fuckin gory?!

Not to mention the best hitters would wear themselves out three times as fast.

I hope they go full 180 and have people surprised he’s black because he recorded a super-white sounding song.

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…
