Just be careful what media you consume.

Even if you know you are consuming propaganda it still has an impact and it's cumulative.

:shrug:

If I had kids, especially boys, I would much rather see them aspire to white hat heroism than to black hat depravity.

I agree that it is something to aspire to and most comics universes had one or two heroes that sort of embodied that ideal.

And I didn't want to give away the plot in The Boys, but not all the heroes are bad or terribly flawed in that show either.

I got part-way into the pilot before I had to dump out. I guess it's cutting-edge to show full frontal male nudity now. That Electric Dreams mini-series didn't quite do that, but I noticed they were showing a whole lot more male than female skin. "Progress," I suppose.

I'm only up to episode 4, but other than butcher's ass and one other short scene where they didn't show full frontal, there hasn't been more, so I wouldn't let that one scene keep you from checking out a few more episodes.

I will say I've also noticed that Netflix originals seem to be throwing in way more wiener shots than booby shots.

Cuz where else could I find superhero-themed entertainment?

I really liked that TV show from a few years ago. (checks internet) Powers. I think I only saw the first season.

I guess a "Booze-fueled paragon of pointless cruelty and wanton sadism" personal text block would explain a lot of that.

It's more about the whiners and boobs...

Alright who besides me laughed at Deep and the dolphin rescue scene?

Ben · « **Reply #39 on:** July 30, 2019, 05:30:31 PM »

Queen Maeve = Lily Bell from Hell on Wheels. I would have never made that connection - she looks completely different.

Very, very loudly. He's a bumbling ahole and it's hilarious.

I just watched the lobster scene. That guy just can't win.

Okay, I just finished the first episode and...

Fistful, STFU.

You're damn right it's progress that a scene like that focuses on something other than "oh, look how sexy she is."

STFU? Really?

If you have such a problem with what I said, ask me to explain it, so you can understand me. You're also free to ignore comments you don't understand.

The lobster and dolphin scenes with Deep were funny as hell. And the season ending twist was pretty big. I ended right there thinking there was another episode, but no. Makes me wonder if this whole thing will end up as some sort of superhero soap opera.

I hope not
They set the standard pretty high through the rest of the show

And yes, I will be eagerly awaiting season 2.

That was good.
