I can't remember the last time I decided to just nope out of the final season of a show I spent years being locked into...

But Gen V being cancelled, and all of the zionism stuff with Amazon and just the actual show, and the sinking feeling that it was going to be aggressively mid just stole the last of my fucks to give about The Boys. But here are my thoughts based on pop culture osmosis alone

A Train had hands down the best and most well rounded arc in the show and it isn't close

I don't really care about Annie and Hughie's relationship anymore but glad they're happy, I guess (also wish there weren't a baby involved now but it's whatever)

Homelander begging like a little bitch after sadly failing to fly away was very funny

Sister Sage's whole thing was a disappointment (but Susan Heyward is hilarious especially as dumb Sage)

I don't care that Frenchie died

Am I supposed to care about Firecracker? Her storyline seemed like an interesting character study of a grifter who winds up discarded when she's no longer useful but am I like, supposed to care about her? Because...

It's cute that MM adopted Ryan and glad my goat made it.

The Gen V cameos amounted to next to nothing and apparently Jordan didn't even get to shift?

Turning a huge part of the final season into a backdoor pilot for another spinoff was... a choice

#the boys critical #gen v #those first two seasons were legitimately fantastic though and i'll always have fond memories of the universe and many of the characters #i think the answer to my first question is dear white people i also just walked away and never looked back right before the final season

I know they’re very much in love but this shot is giving “behind every gay person is a gayer more evil gay person” 😅

the rainbow is a well-known symbol of gay pride that originated in the late 1970s in san francisco, when the gay community promised to never again destroy the earth by flood

It's so amazing how Amandla Stenberg just happens to be exactly who the author pictures every time they write a brown or dark skinned character with two Black parents 🙄

#actually i can lowkey believe it because they were in the hunger games and even authors can be terribly uncreative #but that was a problem in and of itself because rue is described as being the same shade as thresh and like...#that casting was so Black sitcom siblings coded istg #i promise if i'm writing a book and i describe my female lead as anything darker than light brown i am NOT picturing amandla 😤#i'm not even married to the two black parents thing i grew up with halle berry but it gets to a point...#children of blood and bone #the hate u give #the hunger games #colorism #if you as a bw author want the image of the Black girls you are centering to be very light skinned and biracial then something's wrong #like therapy is an option just saying #unless the studios made that choice and you're just trying to save face which i highly suspect #starr carter and princess amari are both more complex situations #starr's image on the front cover is of an explicitly dark skinned girl but she's described as medium brown in the book #so a couple of people effed up there #amari is described as being dark copper and darker than her immediate family #both of those descriptions seem more aligned with a brown skinned girl to me #example rachel hilson kerry washington halle bailey #and while i personally think phenotype is more important when it comes to avoiding colorist casting #i think it's worth mentioning that neither of those characters are biracial...

I think the reason white Sense and Sensibility doesn’t move me is Marianne is described, on the page, as “a beautiful girl… her skin was very brown… and her eyes… were very dark” (Chapter 10). To ME that says Black or brown woman and that’s THAT!

There is a version of Sense and Sensibility where the sisters are Black

#i think i haven’t watched it yet because the love interest looks kind of mid but i will eventually 😅

Hadestown has taken over my every conscious thought recently

#love this!#that man is a stage five clinger and you captured that perfectly!#and i love that it's act one eurydice with act two orpheus it's so precious 🥺

It doesn't matter if he's with his fictional wife or his real wife, I pray for either couple to "like my vibe" at a bar.

I don't care if a Black or diverse film makes a lot of money, plenty of white films flop and it barely matters. I just want these films to exist. They will find an audience eventually. The Five Heartbeats was a flop when it first came out but people still watch it and talk about it to this day.

I love how committed Hadestown is to giving Orphydice different races, ages and body types across productions. There is truly an Orpheus and Eurydice for everyone.

Having finally seen more clips of other full cast variants, yes! I must concur! 😁

#the crunchy little sprinkles 😋

Fiyeraba

#i know this joke has been made before and i do not care #fiyeraba #elphaba thropp #fiyero tigelaar #love them

My Toxic trait is that I think Fiyeraba and Gelphie are both excellent ships.

#i like them as poly but not in a meljayvik way where they're all getting down #but in a "this is my girlfriend elphaba and her boyfriend fiyero kind of way #fiyero is fiercely protective over and loyal to elphaba and also he's a little freak how can my monsterf*cker @ss NOT love him for elphaba?#gelphie are like fireworks on screen & galinda showed so much growth because of her and their relationship has more layers than a vienetta #both? both. both is good.#wicked #gelphie #fiyeraba

I only love Pedro because Tita loves Pedro. That man ain’t shit 😒

And you are so very based for that 😌

#let the hate flow through you friend!

Possibly hot take?

I think The OG Broadway Six's funniest Queen is Catherine of Aragon. This isn't because she was written as such, I think Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard are all written to be funnier and they're absolutely hilarious, don't get me wrong, but Adrianna Hicks's performance pushes her over the edge to me. Her physicality, inflections, and expressions take me tf out every time she says or does anything 😂

#adrianna hicks #catherine of aragon six #six on broadway #six og cast #katherine howard is the saddest (when she isn't being funny) and i'm pretty sure that isn't a hot take
