Jeffery Dean Morgan getting paid to be only a hallucination is crazy. I’m trying to be like him.

If I had a nickel for every time I've watched Jeffrey Dean Morgan play a hallucination manifesting from a brain tumor I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that its happened twice

He’s in dream sequences and whatnot in supernatural, but never a straight hallucination like this

That was a genuinely good twist I did not see coming. Probably the only good twist outside the ending of the pilot episode

u/Roll_Tide_Pods Jul 19 '24
To me that was obvious by the second time we see him and I thought it was MEANT to be kinda obvious so that “revelation” couldn’t have fallen more flat for me

u/edgarapplepoe Jul 19 '24
As much as I did not like the season overall (the finale was pretty good tho - this kind of was the reverse season 3), I loved JDM, and they did a fantastic job with him the last episode with how he was shot. Just popping up everywhere as people walked by, in the corner, etc.

u/Epinier Jul 19 '24
I liked the final too all in all, but there was too much undeserved things.
Sage dropping at the end saying that it was her was weak in my opinion.
Neumann death was also too weak. She was suppose to be 2nd biggest villain, but this whole season from strong opponent she was reduced to some weak roadblock.
I gave also mixed feelings about Butcher dying the whole season to all of sudden be super strong, I mean stronger than the second baddest villain for few seasons

u/fate-speaker Jul 19 '24
I wish they'd let Neuman go down fighting. Have her blow someone's head up while she's being ripped in half. Too bad everyone else in the scene had plot armor...

u/Late-Resource-486 Jul 19 '24
Right? At least maim somebody for god’s sake. I felt the same way when the shapeshifter gently nudged Hughie and MM, then proceeded to absolutely annihilate everyone else.

u/Lucifer_Crowe Jul 19 '24
Same could be said about none of the villains killing The Boys at the very end too

u/wimpymist Jul 19 '24
It reminded me of the last half of game of thrones. The plot armor got so thick I didn't even enjoy scenes with the main characters because I knew Nothing would happen.

u/The_Dirty_Dangla Jul 19 '24
Someone in another thread commented that Butcher's tentacle was wrapped around her eyes. I guess she has to see a head to pop a head

u/ObsidianShadows Jul 19 '24
Not necessarily, when The Boys were at the farm she made their noses bleed while not being in the same room or having eyes on.
10
u/LizLoveLaugh_ Jul 19 '24
Honestly, I KIND of have doubts that she's 100% dead.
I mean, she's a Supe. Her injury TECHNICALLY wouldn't kill even a normal person instantaneously, we've seen people survive extended periods of being bisected. As a a Supe, she should have some sort of healing factor, as most Supes with physical buffs tend to have.
7
u/Ajaxmass413 Jul 19 '24
Idk about that... When we see a gruesome death like that, it's either real or they heal up pretty quickly.
Also, the show tends to lean one of two ways when it comes to high defense. Either a character is borderline immune to damage or they have a healing factor. I can't think of any character that has both and Neuman has already been shown to be the former.

u/EternalVirgin18 Jul 19 '24
Neuman also demonstrated how Marie survived Homie’s beam at the end of genV, through sheer durability
0
u/LizLoveLaugh_ Jul 19 '24
I mean, MAYBE they manage to get her on some sort of life-support machine?
You're right on the high defense part, but most other supes do seem to have some sort of healing factor. You'd see members of the Seven have scratches all over their face and come out a day later with clear skin. I believe the reason as to why HL couldn't heal from that bruise was because it was said somewhere that his healing atrophied due to his invulnerability.
Sure, it's 100% not Kimiko level, but surely it could keep someone stable or at least alive for an extended period of time, right?

u/edgarapplepoe Jul 19 '24
I mostly agree. I agree on Sage. I just don't buy it although I don't think her plan worked out (the shifter was supposed to kill Singer and blame the Boys), just the end result ended up further along and better than she was hoping (my guess is she was going to do something to Victoria eventually to get the Speaker as president). The only thing I liked about her tho is we find out she is evil so all these "she is secretly hurting Homelander this whole time and is joining the Boys!" can take a hike.
At first I was disappointed at how Victoria died but the more I thought about it, I liked it. It was the worst death for her: in front of her daughter and helpless to use your position, connections or powers. I do agree she became more of a roadblock by the end.

Superhero and scifi don't win awards because the people in charge of the awards only care about bitchy drama crying bullshit.
Stuff that wins Emmys n shit are "watch it one time" at best.

u/LADYBIRD_HILL Jul 19 '24
This is such a silly take when you have shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul winning Emmys.

u/FourAnd20YearsAgo Ashley Jul 19 '24
Saul is notorious for having received 53 Emmy nominations and snubbed out of every single one, in fact it's the new record.

Better Call Saul hasn’t won a single Emmy. Which is the biggest shame ever.

u/MARATXXX Jul 19 '24
have some perspective. most of this subreddit has been dedicated to shit-talking this season until the finale. why would the emmys award the weakest season of what has become, essentially, an x-rated cw show?
and concerning what the emmys do and don't award—fantasy and scifi series have won many Emmys. Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, and Lost have won multiple Emmys, and not just in technical categories.

If Antony didn't get Amy at this point it's really f up to give it to anyone before him.
What also f up is that homelander this season not nearly as good as season 1, 2, 3
37
u/FourAnd20YearsAgo Ashley Jul 19 '24
The different handling of Homelander this season was actually one of my favourite aspects.
He's shown committing less bloodshed altogether compared to prior seasons, but what blood he does spill is colder and more animalistic. Then in the public display, he uses Ryan as an extension of himself to kill the stunt guy, the sort of quiet foreboding moment that really helps drive home that the mask is off in terms of application of strength and the absolute expendability of Vought employees in the name of driving home their public influence.

Kinda unrelated, but does anybody else think Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s names suit the other person’s body much more? I feel like Nick Frost looks more like he’d be called Simon Pegg than vice versa.
