Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 14, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2023 I love The Boys as a series in general, but one thing I really don't like is the running "joke" of killing off sea creatures in various gory ways. It just comes across as a bit edge-lord: "Hur-hur, won't it be funny to upset the hippies and tree-huggers?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole, I agree with that - but I think the scene with Timothy was incredibly effective in achieving what it set out to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s reminding them who is in charge, who owns you, and who can humiliate you whenever they want and there’s fuck all you can do, or even dream of doing, about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopper is utterly goading Walken and he knows what buttons to press Absolutely, he knew they would kill him no matter what he said so he decided to rile them as much as he could before the inevitable happened. Walken's performance was genius here as even though he was laughing along you can tell he's quietly seething. "I haven't killed anybody since 1984". Pure quality.
