The Boys

Game of Thrones had a quite poor final season. They decided on an ending which was unsatisfying to its viewers. Don't think that is necessarily because it was on for too long. But I'm happy to be disagreed with.

Lost was shit shit from Season 2 onwards. Again, I don't like the choices they made. Unless you're going to tell me that the original plan was to have it cancelled at the end of the first season, I don't think the extra seasons were the root cause of it being shit.

Never seen Twin Peaks.

The Simpsons peaked long ago. True.

Walking Dead..., I had stopped watching after that lady died and became Burnham in Star Trek Discovery. But was it just not essentially like comfort blanket TV? Essentially the same thing all the time? I'll allow it. Zombies have overrun the world. It will always be zombies that are the threat. Essentially Neighbours with Zombies.

Dexter was shit from the beginning. Again, extra seasons were not the problem. But having said that, the extra seasons gave us the season with Jimmy Smits and Ray Stevenson. Both of which were excellent.

There is also the cancellation thing to consider. If something is good, you also want a satisying conclusion to it rather than it sputtering along, getting progressively worse ratings until someone puts it out of its misery.

So many shows have given us an incredibly optimistic, unresolved cliffhanger rather than just ending when they should have.

I dunno, as per the TV thread, there is so much stuff out, I would rather have 3 seasons of absolute dynamite than 5 seasons of dimishing returns until its taken out the back and shot.

GOT is a poor choice because it suffered due to the creators wanting to rush and finish sooner than originally planned [10 seasons]

Maybe they can keep going with the spin-off. But the Butcher/Homelander thing is coming to a head, and they should finish it (and the main series) without stringing it along further. They're basically the centre of the show, I don't think Hughie or whatever is strong enough to carry it.

It's ok for stories to end! There will be other things to watch! And I'm sure the people working on it will find other things to do, such is the nature of... you know... a career.

He was great as the Comedian, so keen to see what he brings to the table. No idea what character he's even playing but it already feels like an excellent bit of casting.

Please lord let it be basically Tony Stark.

Edit: and by that I mean let’s see what a billionaire in a high tech suit would really be like.

Is he the one that's secretly a rapist?

I am the reverse, I have fuck all money, both parents alive, and allow myself to be molested by inanimate objects.

Yeah, looks great. Anything more in that universe is on my radar.

For some reason I'm always baffled by University/High School American Football stadiums in things, regardless of how many times I've seen it.

Yes to all of those questions, basically.

Isn't it part of the conspiracy/dark secret that lots (all?) of the "natural" supes are actually from a baby farm where they were all injected with V? There aren't actually any natural supes?
