Context:

A superhero called termite with the power to shrink down his size makes himself small enough to go inside his sex partner's penis and accidentally returns to normal size causing his friend to explode in half...penis first.

Lol, I watched it that's a great image though.

That opening episode of The Boys was incredible. Obviously the scene in question was hilarious, uncomfortable and disgusting all at the same time. I can't believe they were allowed to do that! :lol:

The guy playing Homelander is just absolutely incredible and making him look like an utter psychopath. Honestly, his facial expressions are just chilling.

Also really liked the first few episodes of The Boys. I assume that, given that it happened amongst a slew of references to the MCU and DCEU that Termite was meant to be a reference to that..... particular theory about Thanos/Antman.

Really good fun, some genuinely chilling stuff about Homelander losing his grip on himself. The thing I like about it is that, whilst it's certainly not at GoT levels of 'anyone could die' regarding the central cast, it's very upfront about not pulling any punches when it comes to going to really dark narrative places. So when Homelander is saying 'I'd prefer to be loved, but being feared would be fine' you're on the edge of your seat because you know they'd have no hesitation to go there if they wanted to.

Agree with all the above views, and great pic Grumpy David! :lol:

Homelander is an incredible character/actor. He just has this perfect blend of Cheese/evil/danger/unstable.

The only thing I don't like is how much weight Starlight has lost. I thought she was ill when I first saw her this series.

Can't wait for next episode.

Watched episode 1 of Resident Evil and I have high hopes that it's going to be super cheesy and amazing.

Having it set in the UK is a nice move and could result in some rather interesting events not tied to the stuff going on at all the normal US labs.

Despite not looking exactly like Wesker (don't know what it is) he certainly sounds and acts the part of a pre ouroborus Wesker... But this is set afterwards... After he gets transformed, takes a swim in a volcano and had a missile launched at his face
