Amazing... it doesn't seem more than six months since the last one, but it was apparently last October. Time flies when you're getting old. :(

Also loved how the "superheroes" were presented as assholes, narcissist and arrogant fuckers :321GFY which, if they really exists, would be a totally real behavior for them, they are all humans after all :warning and no one dared to make something like this before :2 cents: Everyone constantly showed "superheroes" as good guys, why? :Oh crap

Because the US is basically North Korea with better PR. Comics had to conform to a narrow code or risk the wrath of government or advertisers and weren't taken seriously as adult literature or art until an influx of writers from the UK in the 80s, people brought up under a far wider political/cultural spectrum (Trotskyite/anarchist/anti-establishment/satirical/punk), who were interested something a bit deeper than "truth, justice and the American way".

And like when Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg teams up, there's always something interesting to watch, and Karl Urban, aka "Billy Butcher" with his catchphrase "Fucking Diabolical" and Antony Starr aka "Homelander" with his asshole and lack of empathy attitude are portraying their roles perfectly! :pimp

Urban is great in everything but his "British" accent is certainly fucking diabolical. I mean Jimmy McNulty level bad. Starr is also brilliant, and it wasn't until season two last year, and only because I read it and checked IMDB to verify it, that I was amazed to realize he played the Sheriff in Banshee. If you haven't seen that show, BTW, do so, it's excellent. |
