Nick Koumalatsos, a Marine vet and consultant on Punisher, responds to a comment from an apparent vet who identified with a line from the show.
Has new rockstars done this already or are their plans to start once the new season drops this summer?
Great show. One of the better post-apocalyptic shows out there.
Has anyone else watched the latest Breakroom aftershow for S5E07? I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing, but considering what they said in the previous episode, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
These hosts sit around stupidly praising the writing for this season and completely dismissing the very valid criticism of the show's pacing. Instead of admitting that the plot has severely stalled right before the series finale, they decide to blame and insult the audience.
In the new video, one of the hosts(sorry I am bad with remembering the names) actually claims that if you are bored by the lack of progression, it's because your brain is "broken" by TikTok dopamine rushes. They treat anyone who expects the stakes to actually match a penultimate episode like we just have a short attention span and want "cocaine-fueled TV"
They try to justify the meandering plot by comparing the writing of The Boys to Mad Men and Breaking Bad, acting like stalling the narrative is some high-brow masterpiece of "character development." No, it's just stupid writing. Being annoyed that the plot is grinding to a halt in the second to last episode ever doesn't mean we don't understand storytelling. It means we want the payoff we've been promised for five seasons without having the brakes pumped right at the finish line.
But wait, it gets worse. In their aftershow for Episode 6, they literally called the audience "miserable fucks." one of the hosts dismisses everyone complaining about the writing for Sage this season by saying, "People complain about everything cuz they're miserable fucks."double downing saying that if you think the writing is worse this season, "it's because you're just miserable fucks right now."
It’s incredibly frustrating to watch them act so pretentious and write off genuine fan frustration as a "stupid take". If they want to blindly defend the show and act like it has zero flaws, fine, but insulting the fans—literally calling us brain-broken and "miserable fucks"—just for wanting a functional, moving plot is absolutely ridiculous.
Sorry if this all sounds hurtful but man it's frustrating to see them defending boys, calling it's writing a sort of masterpiece.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I just saw MK2, and it was fun. There is a running gag in the movie in which Johnny Cage references The Lord of the Rings. Like MANY times. It kinda pulled me out a bit, but my head canon put it together that in the movie, all of JC's movies were produced by New Line. Being a '90s star, a la Tom Cruise, he probably would have at least been considered for the role of Aragorn when the movies were made, and he keeps kicking himself for not getting it.
After drinking the red juice, he can understand the creatures. Has anyone considered if he can understand other languages now? Or all of them?
GREAT SHOWS AND DON'T THEY HAVE A SCARY CHANNEL ON NEW ROCKSTARS?
This week, I've heart both Eric and Colton Ogburn from ScreenCrush insinuate that they've already seen the Punisher Special, or that they're in the process of breaking it down. In my timezone, the Punisher Special comes out on the 13th of May. I wonder whether select content creators get to see special titles or episodes like this early in order to get the breakdowns done faster.
Question 1, can his metal arm use the hammer?. Does the hammer recognise the arm as part of bucky.
Question 2, is bucky himself worthy of lifting the hammer.
Question 3, what made cap worthy.
A while back Jess did a breakdown of the first trailer for the new Street Fighter movie. Loved it. A new trailer got released a few weeks ago, and it was amazing. Just wondering if she’s gonna do another breakdown or if y’all are waiting to just do one of the movie. I know you’re busy over there.
Also Erik your “Get ‘em Daddy!” Segment at the end of your “One Last Kill” breakdown was a masterpiece. Thank you for that.
There are some other possibilities.. for example
Black panthers son.
Scarlet which son.
There are some popular theories that doom is after the kids.. are we going to see him take the kids?.. and the kids come back years later fully grown and loyal to doom?
It's one way to split up the avengers, xmen, fantasy 4..
maby its enough to make all the characters refuse to fight there own kids/ stop other characters from attacking there kids..
I know there are other theories.. sentinels, ultron bots, army of dooms, evil version of the original avengers.. but maybe this could be a new one.
Please no hate, just testing some theories😁
