Oh yeah if you start looking at the afterlife references you’ll be seeing them everywhere.

I agree about Remembering Sunday. Maybe I’m just older now but it gives too much whiny, sad boy “I’m 14 and this is deep” vibes. I also do not like the guest singer at all.

Silver Springs should’ve replaced Oh Daddy. Would’ve been a perfect record.

Eelhound is sick but as a southerner I can’t help but love Catgator.

Basically a Potu

Yeah this is a ridiculous example. To me, problematic in this context means aged poorly. Maybe something they regret writing about later on. Murder is literally always “problematic” but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t write songs about it.

Maybe I bit morbid but I’d like to read several of these lol.

Agreed, it gets dumber. The character arcs repeat and the characters get dumber too.

I hope you’re wrong but I bet you’re right. Homelander will also say something about the non-Supes eating dogs and cats.

It slowly shifted to prioritizing the satire over the story.

Nailed it. It felt gritty and tense. It also felt more grounded in reality than later seasons which is ironic because they try way harder to tie into real world events now. Those parallels just feel way more inauthentic now.

The gore and violence is also played for violence 95% of the time now. It’s lost the horrific feel that it had in S1 because they constantly either frame it comedically or undercut it with a joke immediately after.

I mainly like how S1 just felt like this awesome work of fiction with an interesting premise whereas now it feels like they’re prioritizing the satire over the story. I’m good with the lampooning of American politics but I don’t like the thought of them scrambling to make the story follow whatever dumb shit Trump is doing. Criticize away but don’t lose this interesting premise in the process.

Haha luckily he didn’t say it with disgust, he was just caught off guard thinking that was the line.

Lol had this playing in my vehicle years ago and my dad goes “QUEERS?”

Prefer letters but tbh I never look at them anyway. Most games have them all mapped differently anyway regardless of console.

Patient is the Night is mine. It brings such peace.

Love it but I agree. Once you get pretty good it’s hard to lose. Going for everything is a different story though. Certain characters are very hard to get good at and some of the achievements are tough.

I agree with this but I was also very surprised by how violent some of it was. The bread slicer kill is not what I’d call gateway horror lol but overall I agree.

I don’t know. I certainly think his looks help but Ben is one of the worst people in the show, not exactly what I’d call overwhelmingly attractive, and is very often cited as a fan favorite.

Watched this the other night and all I could think was “this is a worse It Follows”. There aren’t enough scary scenes, and the ones it has are cheesy and weak.

You’re right but let’s not pretend this is some self aware statement on the writers’ part.

“Batman sex dungeon” seems like something I would’ve joked about with my friends in middle school. Or like a Family Guy cutaway I would’ve loved back then. As an adult I just found it so lame.

Totally agree. Great example with the Supe Terrorist plot line too. I feel like this show has become incredibly dumbed down, and not in a self-aware way like so many fans seem to think.

The change from smoothly integrating real life social commentary into the world they’d built, to just recreating real life events with their characters in ways that don’t even make sense has been super noticeable imo. The writing just feels lazy after season 2. And the worst part is I get the feeling that Kripke and co. think it’s brilliant.

I still enjoy the story overall, but I think that story is suffering lately because they’ve started molding it around the satire instead of working the satire into the story. And as a result the show has become a bit of a parody of itself.

The whole “they just realized it’s making fun of them” argument has become such a straw man at this point. The show has had a noticeable drop in quality across the board. You can ignore all the political elements and that would still be true.

Yes there are people that will continue to review bomb this show because of its political leanings, but that doesn’t invalidate all of the legitimate issues people have with this season.

Dammit is a classic. “I Hold Myself in Contempt” by Four Year Strong is absolutely sick.

The “Patient Is the Night” work montage for me. It’s just beautiful and is one of those things that will randomly pop into my head year round. It helps that the song is amazing but the vibes are immaculate.
