Imagine if after the fantastic S1 that introduced us to fascinating characters, intriguing storylines, and a world we really wanted to see more of....  S2 was the same shit quality as S7/S8 with horrible lazy writing, plot holes you could fly a 747 through, and characters doing shit that made absolutely no sense.

That's what just happened to The Boys.
I don't cable (except for Internet), satellite or Netflix.
What was The Boys supposedly about

Imagine if superheros existed in the real world.  Would they be like Superman trying to help everyone or would they just be doing whatever the fuck they wanted because no one could stop them?  The show is basically Disney (ruthless AF behind the scenes, but happy and kid friendly to the public) if the superheroes in their movies really existed and a group of guys that try to stop them.

S1 was great, but I DO NOT recommend the series.

The Boys S2 really reminded me a lot of GoT S8.

- Lazy AF writing.

- Bad writing.

- Characters doing things that make no sense.

- Retconning the fuck out of previous seasons.

- By the end it is so fuckin' awful you find yourself hoping the big bad "villain" would have just killed everyone.

Not really spoilers, but just to be on the safe side:

Benioff stated they didn't decide on Arya killing the NK until they saw the Arya-Brienne sparring scene in S7 (probably during filming).

That's how late in the game they were making shit up.

Remember those articles the kneelers pulled out of their asses attempting to justify it?

One even claimed that Dumb and Dumber knew all the way back in THE VERY FIRST EPISODE.  It claimed that when Arya sneaked up on Bran in the courtyard it was foreshadowing for when Ayra would sneak up on the NK in the godswood.

Not as topical.

Though I guess we could do the 2020 Falcons/Cowboys game where they had a 99.9% chance of winning or the 2020 Falcons/Bears game where they had a 99.6% chance of winning.

He probably meant to get captured, but it didn't go the way he wanted?

We don't really know. It's one of the things we haven't learned yet. Supposedly he's over in Oldtown pulling shenanigans.

I maintain that the Starks are the best example of Dumb and Dumber’s incompetence as writers.  I mean how horrible of a writer do you have to be to take the fan favorite family another writer created, try to get the audience to continue to like them, and instead cause a large portion of the audience to view them as villains in the end?

Because if you're a cultural marxist, the fact that the Starks have a stronk womyn Queen and a stronk womyn super-ninja assassin automatically makes them the good guys.

I would really like to have seen more scenes in, say S7, where Daenerys gets to let her facade down more with Jon. They really needed more interaction to sell the love story. Personally, I think Emilia did a great job with what she was given but had there been more interactions, it would have been mo bettah.

I still like the comment I heard not too long ago "season 8 seems like a highlight reel of Seasons 8, 9 and 10"

The best comparison I can think of is the 28-3 Super Bowl.

Falcons lead the Patriots 28-3 with 20 mins left in the game. Statistically they have a 99.8% chance of winning so there's no way they can ruin it, right?

What proceeds to happen from that point is a slow progression of THE most incompetent performance in pro sports history.  A team that all they had to do to win was not spectacularly suck.  That's it.  They didn't even have to be average.  Just don't spectacularly suck and you'll win.... and they couldn't even do that.

Everything going their way, impossible to lose, and they still found a way to ruin it.

In the novels he's such a fearsome fighter that Chuck Norris might nod his head.

Well, George is taking his dear sweet fucking time with it. I think it took me near 6 months to read the whole 5 books. I slowed down a lot on the last book because I just didn't want it to end.

The thing I'm looking forward to with The Winds of Winter, aside from the book itself, is all the analysis and theory that will come out on YouTube. There are a few really good channels with some really in-depth theories and analysis. TWoW will generate a ton of entertaining content.  

My plan will be once TWoW is announced, to re-read at least ADWD and maybe AFFC. I've got the Dunk and Egg short stories that I have been procrastinating on getting into. They do tie into the main story in a few areas, so I understand, and George has said he has another short D&E story he wants to put out before ADoS, since it will likely reveal something relevant.

I'd say dig in. It can't hurt anything to read them now.
