I wonder what the Swahili on the Swahili coast think of that, after becoming the Swahili on the Swahili coast.

Fallout 2 may still be the only game that lets you target kids' groins with a sledgehammer.

Devil's advocate: it's a good thing to change things up a bit in an adaptation, both to keep old fans on their toes and maybe come up with new ideas and interpretations.

I had a similar reaction to the s1 ending but I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they have some idea of how to work with this.

My big issue came a bit later, when they had Homelander kill Stillwell. To me the main point of the comics was that all the capes were ultimately a non-issue, a theatre. Stilwell was THE most dangerous, evil and scary character, personifying Vogue.

And they replaced him (her, I guess) basically with some comic relief idiots afterwards.

I lost interest during season 2 because it was just too on the nose and obvious, which is odd given that the Ennis original (which I love dearly) is about as unsubtle as you can get.

The other issue was I felt like they largely threw the anti-corporation themes out of the window in favour of making it a superhero show.

I loved the first season, but the way it was evolving in the second just didn't sit well with me.

The answer is not to get dragged into convesrations with idiots. We used to call it "not feeding the trolls" and it's something of a lost art.

It's a bad look, but not extremely so IMO.

That answer told the psychologist everything he needed to know.
