The Boys very final moment was- Odd

Okay so first off: I litterally haven't watched since Season 3 and only watched The Finale just because I wanted to see Homelander's death for myself. All of my context for the past two seasons has been second-hand spoilers and mostly complaints.

The result of this? The finale was incredibly enjoyable and a solid 7 out of 10, no major complaints. I didn't have a stake in it so Homelander never really going Scorched Earth was fine.

Butcher crowbarring Homelanders head open was very satisfying and Terror passing in his sleep, alone and without Butcher tugged on a random heartstring.

THAT ALL BEING SAID

The single thing that really made me go 'huh?' was the very last moment, the nice full-circle scene where Hughie has opened a radio-shack and him and Anne are having a baby was really sweet. But Anne flying while Pregnant did break my immersion.

The Boys universe has always had a certain practical 'realism' to its superpowers. A-Train can't dodge people, shrinking man expodes inside man's penis, homelander can't lift a plane

So you're telling me *flying* while pregnant, let alone full on Superhero-ing is going to be fine with no major consequences? It's a nice moment and would be really cute in The Big 2 universes (hell ATSV has a similar thing with Jessica Drew) but in The Boys?

That baby is D e a d.

Need help with my inventor character

Hi, I'm in my first Pathfinder campaign and I am not having much fun, I feel like I'm bringing down the mood since everyone else is having a good time and I think it's at least in part due to the fact that I either don't understand how I'm meant to be playing, or I've built my character very poorly.

He's a level 9 Nephilim Inventor with some feats from Guardian and the Armour Invention - the idea being I wanted to build a sort of self-made knight who used a mechanized suit of armour to fight with a hammer-gun. But in practice all this means is in combat I'm just doing 2-3 attacks with the hammer and very little else.

For other people who have played inventor, I'd be really open to advice on how you built your characters - my DM is thankfully open to respec'ing so I'm able to swap anything out.

INVINCIBLE / THE BOYS Fanart by Me

To celebrate (or mourn, depending on how you feel) the upcoming season finale of The Boys, I had an idea for a composition that I wanted to draw out.

(Obviously this has very little regard for canon, it's mostly just a cool what-if)

All art done by Paradoxic (Me!)

Soldier Boy fanart by me. I haven't been keeping up with the show myself since S3 but seeing the clips of him in S5 made me want to draw him.

I think that having the PTSD ridden immortal super soldier have the ability to go nuclear, symbolic of his horrible emotional regulation and mental health is probably one of the best uses of the show's superpowers to reflect the Supes' character in the entire series (Up their with Butcher's Cancerous Growth)

Wanted to homage a moment from DC's The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke imagining a brighter future in Gotham some years down the line.
