As i scroll down the GT subreddit,, it becomes apparent that the new hosts of GT are honest kinda looked down upon. And while i will admit, the new VIDEOS are a bit different then what mat-pat used to make, the new HOSTS are doing an AMAZING JOB. (and a couple of posts i've seen have been slandering the hosts for the scripts, but if i remember, in the 15th anniversary musical, it was said that the hosts are NOT the ones who write the scripts, but i may be wrong) And honestly? I've actually been really enjoying the new videos. i would appreciate if they went back to theory's from time to time, but other than that? I think the channel is going great! And if ya'll will remember, mat-pat CHOSE the new hosts. He was the one who decided who his legacy would be passed on through. So please, give them credit where credit is due. so guys, PLEASE dont be mean to the new hosts. they are trying their best. and I for one, am exited to see what comes next.

I'm mostly making this to know if I'm dumb or not lol, I'm bad at analyzing and stuff. Was it obvious to others that the villain paper character, Fold, was at the being? Didn't connect that till next day, after I saw episode myself. Was confused as to why he knew who Kit was and her backpack friend, Kaboodle.

I just feel like The Deep's entire arc as a character has been building towards to this moment and I don't see any other way they can wrap up his character unless they show him killing Homelander. They've spent so much time on him this season just to have him killed off for laughs or redeemed willy nilly without a true conclusion. Before you' think I've gone mad, I have severalvery strong hints that point in this direction:

1- He has nothing left to lose.

This is self-explanatory. The Deep has systematically been dismantled as a human being across the entire series, treated as nothing but humiliation porn this entire time. Every season he's been shown compromising his emotional and physical integrity for Homelander and the Seven believing in the end it would pay off. He's had to kill lovers and endure being framed for A GENOCIDE in the last season. All because of the Seven and Homelander...and what did it get him? Discarded like trash and have the team that his entire life revolved around disbanded in one conversation. He can't even return to the ocean where any hope of a normal, happy life was left. It's more than evident that his arc will end with him on the path of revenge against Homelander, possibly even playing a crucial role having him killed.

2- Sister Sage.

The first time Sister Sage meets Homelander all the way back in season 4 Sister Sage presents her plan as follows:

"If you crush the masses, who builds your monuments?

Who tongues your taint? Nah. The people will tear it apart themselves. Just gotta nudge 'em a little. Then you get to swoop in, be the one saving it. Like Caesar"

However, most recently in season 5 this exchanged is referenced once again:

"Homelander: You promised me Caesar.

Sage: He was stabbed by his best friends."

Last episode it's implied Sister Sage plan to prevent Homelander from getting the V-1 failed because she couldn't account for the unpredictability of human emotions, with Soldier Boy and Homelander bonding over the same woman instead of killing each other over Stormfront memory. However: on that same episode Soldier boy says he gave Homelande the V-1 because that's what Clara would have wanted, not because he has any sentiments for Homelander. This suggests Sage plan's failure wasn't because of "human emotions".

So what if this was Sage plan all along? She may have known that Soldier boy would feel compelled to give Homelander the V-1 out of respect for the memory of Stormfront. Homelander, being unable to kill him, shoves him back into cryo-sleep and goes and disband American democracy now that he's unstoppable, leaving a perfect power vacuum for her to eventually fill up once he's dealt with. BUT: This also implies that she may have known that with Homelander now being all powerful and self-absorbed on the living deity narrative he would no longer need the Seven, and HERE IS where The Deep comes in. Let's remember: one of the first things Sister Sage does in season 4 is getting to know The Deep. She seems to understand The Deep almost immediately after a few diqlogues, after all, she reads people extremely well, and quickly figures out that he is insecure, desperate for approval, and easy to manipulate.

If my theory holds, she may have been counting on The Deep to go Berserk over Homelander disposing of him like trash and ruining his life. But you may be wondering: why The Deep? He's surely not strong enough to beat Homelander, right?

3- A-Train.

This point may be weaker than the last two, but I feel like the quick chat The Deep had with A-Train will have a big impact in the end. Even if it doesn't: A-Train arc is the exact opposite of The Deep's: both kill people they love because of the Seven, both are humiliated by Homelander, both get pushed out from the Seven and then manage to come back. However: one–A-Tranin-eventually improves as a person and gets away from all of it to instead devote his life to what matters most: his family, and even then, he gets killed by Homelander anyways for doing the right thing.

What if this is the final point of divergence between their stories? What if, where A-Train died confronting Homelander, The Deep actually manages to kill him instead?

4- Symbolic meaning.

IF Homelander is God in this season, or at least, a Messianic-like figure...it would make perfect sense for him to be killed by a Judas-like figure...wouldn't it?

5- Homelander unspoken weakness.

Homelander three possible weaknesses that may help kill him in the final battle:

1- Radiation.

2- Soldier Boy's power-anulling ability.

3- The Virus.

All of which are stated as currently useless.

In the last episode, we saw him tolerating radiation much better than a few episodes ago, when Soldier Boy trapped him in a radiation chamber. Soldier Boys ability which Kimiko now supposedly has may fail or not work on him. And the V1 gives him immunity to the virus. The only way to kill him is by overpowering him, and there's no supe strong enough to defeat him at this point. It seems like so far Homelander has 0 apparent weaknesses and no realistic way to be stopped. If he defeated Ryan so easily while without the V1 nothing tells us Butcher, Ryan, Kimiko or someone else may stop him now.

However.

Can Homelander breathe under water?

There's nothing that suggests he may not be drowned...and If the final battle is anywhere near the ocean, The Deep has a home-field advantage that Homelander cannot counter. Plus! drowning is the most biological death possible—aspirating water, panicking, losing control. It's the opposite of a god's death.

If Homelander is playing God, the most The Boys ending imaginable isn't a heroic battle—it's the universe's biggest joke killing the universe's biggest narcissist. A washed-up, octopus-loving, cowardly joke dragging the "immortal god" into the abyss. How? That part I don't know. Maybe the Octopus homelander forced deep to consume was friend with a giant Kraken?

6- This may end like God Of War: Ragnarok.

[SPOILERS] At the end of God of War: Ragnarok, all the main cast refuse to kill Odin, even when they all lost people they loved because of him. Howeher, Sindri: the comic-relief germaphobic, cowardly dwarf ends up being the one to kill the God in revenge for the death of his brother. I feel like this will be just like that ending.

Perhaps Butcher misses the chance to kill Homelander because he chooses to save his friends, redeeming himself at the end, Kimiko may be incapacitated at some point by the danger she poses since she's the only one with a chance to get him killed for real. Ryan is getting slammed and I have 0 doubts about it, all the other characters either are unable to kill Homelander or don't have the emotional stakes to be the ones to deliver the final blow. But the Deep? The Deep has the means, the motive, the emotional stakes, and the best reason to kill Homelander.

Now, do I believe this will happen 100%? Absolutely not, but it would be so freaking hilarious.

I was thinking, since Part 51 is about to release this month, I feel like I have a mission to get done, to spread this this trailer and the series far and wide, and why I need your help, and I mean ALL of your help, we need to spread this trailer and the series as a whole to be spread across the world, from YouTubers and the entire internet as a whole just so everyone can see this masterpiece of a series and make Part 51 a global event.

So, who’s with me?

Hear me out! I think I know what’s going on... and if I’m right – it’s pure genius!

Studying screenwriting, especially Nolan’s work, you see that his scripts aren't just built for the story; they have layers of depth that affect the audience directly. The final layer is the meta-level – that’s us. Usually, even the script's structure is built on a unified theme or a core metaphor. In Inception, the dream levels served as the structure and a metaphor for immersion and cinematography, while the meta-level was an "inception" performed on the viewers. In the end, we become the object of that inception. That is the meta-level.

Knowing Nolan is a master of this, I feel like we’re only seeing the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I suspect there’s something tied to the Trojan Horse here – it could be anywhere: the trailer, the language, the cast. Think about it: the film itself is the Trojan Horse. If Nolan made it "by the book," it would be: "Wow, looks like a great movie," then you go to the theater and think, "Wait, this is a mess." But knowing Nolan, he’s doing an Inverted Trojan Horse. He’s presenting a "gift" (this trailer) that shocks people, triggering massive debate and driving huge crowds to the theater for maximum reach. It’s a brilliantly calculated marketing strategy (remember the Dark Knight viral campaigns?).

Inside the theater, there will be plenty of surprises. Think about it: how hard is it to film a scene with that "daddy" translation just for the trailer and then reshoot it? Dropping clues about loving Emily Wilson’s translation or "miscasting" roles – it would explain so much, especially the contradictions in Nolan’s statements, like telling Ludwig Göransson "no orchestra" while hiring Travis Scott.

Writing this out, I realize it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I have a gut feeling. Also, look at his filmography. He usually alternates: one film the studio pushes, which usually wins Oscars (Dunkirk, Oppenheimer), and his "personal" projects in between (Inception, Interstellar, Tenet). After Oppenheimer, this Odyssey is exactly what he wants to do, and how he wants to do it.

That’s my theory. I might be wrong, but... Nolan’s Odyssey is a Trojan Horse!

P.S. And even if I’m wrong, it’s all about the story and the emotions. Once you’re immersed, all this "miscasting" drama will just vanish – especially considering these characters aren't even the leads and will likely flash on screen for maybe 2 to 5 minutes total. If the execution is good, the real world disappears, and Nolan knows exactly how to deliver that. People go to the cinema for the experience and the story, not just for the names on the poster. You need top-tier talent to draw people in, but their real job is the quality of performance that makes that immersion possible.

I recently watched Kwite react to the Midwest Angelica Analog Horror series and I would love to see more people react and talk about this series!

It’s really well done and has amazing imagery and story!

I was scrolling thru mindless yt shorts when i stumbled onto this weird animation, at first i thought it was just low quality Animation..but when I looked deeper into it..it looked soo weird.

Website-

https://hirohataworld.com/ (the website is much more of a trip)

The website is all in Japenese which..i obviously can't read. But this isn't just surface level bad quality. I watched some videos (which btw have this weird music that almost sounds..hypnotic??) , and in each one i couldn't help but get a weird vibe from this. Also heard there is some book involved in the website??. Maybe idk. But someone or film theory should look into this who knows maybe it's a gold mine.

Theory: Actually, Luv is the real daughter of Rachael/Deckard.

Luv was conceived in that very sexual relationship where Deckard was agressive and pushed Rachael.

There are several parallels and similarities between her and Rachael.

In the HQ (Blade Runner 2039) Wallace only says Luv is constructed by him, but he could be lying.

Ana Stelline maybe know much more about Luv than we are told. There are several gaps in the movie. And the parents of Ana are others.

And is possible that K at the end arrives to this conclusion.

He persecute Luv not just to save Deckard, but also to kill Luv. Luv as a leader of the replicants could be extremaly dangerous.

He says to Deckard "You died in that car which drowned".

Plus: there are some references to Sylvia (gemini), whose birthday is ten years before the enigmatic date of the film. The director is playing with binaries: 01, 10....
Sylvia is the first one of June. June is the mother of IUV-entus.

Sylvia means something like forest, wild, and when K visits Ana for the first time, she is creating a memory in a forest.

Of course, there is also the theory where Luv and K were twin brothers.

if the coin is half burnt shouldn't it affect the results? it's a simple idea but I'm genuinely curious

I made a list of things of each Autism symptom and things related to the diagnosis and put the episode of Pocoyo next to that related symptom.

Also, since ADHD and Epilepsy are under the Autism umbrella, I have to include them too because I have Epilepsy and, I guess, half of ADHD because I guess I also have it as well as BPD (idk).
