Meanwhile, Maeve used the blackmail to save lives of Butcher, Elena, and Starlight and to keep Ryan away from Homelander. But the Starlight scene gave us another incredible Antony Starr performance
Same release time as The Boys S4 and Gen V S2.
As someone who has a job, I personally dislike this release time. I preferred when episodes used to drop at night, not midnight, like The Boys S2, S3 and Gen V S1.
I’m pretty sure I’ll receive spoilers about everything before I even arrive at home 😪
The cinematography and color grading of this show is a real roller coaster.
Season 1, green. Gritty green. Season 2, probably the biggest inspiration behind the MCU’s Thunderbolts except with Some Color! Steel cold blues and bleakness.
Then Season 3 comes along, and with it, the visual peak of the show. They discovered Color, and the camera quality is amazing, the focus, the definition, say what you want about the execution of it post Herogasm, but you can’t this season looked fucking magnificent. And sure it wasn’t all color, it did have its bleak moments but it wasn’t JUST bleak like the previous seasons Mostly were.
Now we get to season 4, what the fuck happened😂? We had it so good last season, Soldier boy, Payback, great cinematography and coloring, and we just dumped all that for this season. We’re now on Greys, Blacks and low green and teal, and the screen looks….cheap?? Everything is a bit muted and we reverted back to season 2 but a little more cinematic.
And finally season 5. What the actual fuck is happening yall😭? It somehow looks cheaper than season 4, it looks like it was filmed on an iPhone. The colors are back, but it seems like there’s this Grey/tan filter over most scenes (the supe and natural(😉) reunion shots ) and the lighting has just downgraded so much from season 4 somehow. I feel like I could’ve recorded this on an iPhone 15. Now I know what you’re thinking, this is relatively minor compared to the story and the actual shit that goes down, don’t you think it’s a bit of a bummer that we’re seemingly going out with some half assed cinematography and coloring? I do. I just felt this really needed to be addressed because good god from season 3 to season 5, the visual drop in quality is insane, and sad!😔 Gen V season 2 gave me some high ass hopes for what to expect in the mainline shows final season, I get it’s a different crew but don’t you think they could’ve taken some notes? Or perhaps the budget being poured into the actors at play and the potential unadvertised spectacle restricts how well of a job they can do on the overall picture. Idk this has just driven part of me crazy and I needed to bring this nitpick to the forefront before we reach the beginning of the end.
So we all saw the season 5 episode 7 title The Frenchman, the female, and the man called mother’s milk. Based on the comics and the episode title it’s basically obvious that this episode will have them die in it. My discussion question is do you think there could be any other reason why this episode is named that?
