3DD!3

This was for fun, it doesn't care about saving Marvel, it's more like the writers are making fun of it and reveling in the fact that it won't make sense. Isn't it? Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman made an action flick where violence solves a lot of problems as long as it's done politically correct and with humor. It's reminiscent of their commercials together, which I love from the bottom of my heart. Aviation Gin Deadpool edition. Millions of references, great cameos that make sense, and many that will make any movie fan's kid heart flutter. The acting is just top notch, and Emma Corrin though she's in the role of the boilerplate baddie rocks. The subliminal line about us incompetent guys (guys and car salesmen?) who never make it to the Avengers pulls the whole movie through and almost moves you. Deadpool has always kicked second league (go Wrexham!) now he's kicking it for unreal money and I root for him. P.S: The running joke with Johnny is an absolute blast.

In terms of dramaturgy, it’s terrible, with uninteresting passages stretched to death to make the interesting stuff hurriedly catch up at the end. There are two flashbacks for good measure, the first one pointless and boring, the second one interesting and action-packed. In terms of acting, it's a disaster, full of unlikeable characters who behave illogically and move from place to place at the creators' convenience. The visual effects and action scenes, however, are top-notch. The light sabre swinging and head-butting action works. The narrative framework isn't bad, but the subplots, twists and dialogue are on the wrong level. The Jedi Knights act like a bunch of amateurs who are nervous because of an audit? The ending is unfortunately open and basically the beginning of something, but I have no idea what. Why are the twin girls so important and they are the chosen ones for what? I don't know. Unfortunately, I guess the creators don't know either and they put together a lot of filler to build a second season around one sentence. Hopefully it'll be better.

After the attack on Trump and Biden’s Covid, Homelander's electoral travails may seem petty to us, yet The Boys has hit the current political mood perfectly. Unfortunately, Kripke commissioned the scripts during the strike (I can't explain it any other way), and the quality of the early episodes looks accordingly. Weird dialogue, bumbling heroes, uninteresting subplots. The crappy line Frenchie, completely disconnected from everything and leading to nowhere, the downright annoying Mother's Milk acting like an asshole, and the relegated Billy, who they're probably saving for last. So it's up to Homelander and his bloodbath to save the day. Antony Starr is fantastic in the role and I'm looking forward to the final clash from the bottom of my heart. The fourth season was pretty much a bust though, except for the very last episode.
